The cultivators watching in secret had clearly recognized Gu Yulou as well, and they grew excited in anticipation.
By now, three Top Ten contenders had challenged Lu Yiye in succession. Bao Shi had been beaten to pieces, Mo Keduo had retreated after a single strike, and You Ping seemingly had not found a suitable chance to make her move.
What kind of performance would Gu Yulou deliver?
Since ancient times, clashes between first and second place had always been the most anticipated and noteworthy. If Lu Yiye could defeat even Gu Yulou, then no one would be able to shake his position at the top of the rankings, and he would truly be the undisputed first of this Divine Sea Conflict.
What sparks would fly when these two collided? It was truly something to look forward to.
Under countless watchful eyes, Gu Yulou carried his silver spear straight to the pile of rubble. He stared at it in silence for a moment before looking up at Bao Shi. "You got beaten to death?"
Bao Shi folded his arms and gave a calm grunt, openly admitting it without the slightest embarrassment at having died once.
Gu Yulou nodded, planted his spear before him, and sat down cross-legged.
You Ping raised her brows, baffled by his actions. She could not help asking, "Weren't you here to challenge him? Why aren't you making a move?"
Gu Yulou lowered his eyes and replied indifferently, "Can't beat him."
You Ping immediately looked as though she hated iron for not becoming steel. She snapped, "You haven't even fought him. How do you know you can't beat him?"
Gu Yulou looked too lazy to explain, but Bao Shi chuckled from the side. "He fought me, so he knows he can't beat him!"
The words sounded a little
