" Your His Highness the Holy Son "
Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena greeted them.
Hu Liena was even more shocked. She hadn't seen him for a while, and he had changed so much that he had even surpassed someone she couldn't match.
So far, I haven't broken through to the Soul King, while my opponent is already Soul Emperor.
Is this the difference?
" Hu Liena!"
Gu Wuchen smiled.
" Your His Highness the Holy Son, I'm here!" Hu Liena responded immediately, like a startled little fox.
Gu Wuchen smiled faintly, "Do you still want to use your charm technique?"
"No, no," Hu Liena chuckled dryly. "It was all Nana's fault for being ignorant before. Please forgive me His Highness the Holy Son."
Gu Wuchen smiled, not blaming him, just giving him a gentle reminder.
Gu Wuchen walked to the center of the training ground and glanced at the three people:
"Alright, let's begin training. First, show me your Martial Soul and Soul Ring so I can see your recent progress."
Xie Yue, Yan, Hu Liena immediately did as instructed, their Martial Soul Possession and their Soul Ring rising one after another.
Gu Wuchen looked at it carefully for a moment and nodded:
" Your Soul Power has improved fairly well, but your moves are too rigid and your teamwork is not smooth enough. Xie Yue, your Moon Blade is too focused on lethality and neglects defense."
Yan, your flames aren't powerful enough. You need to increase your attack power so you can coordinate better and catch your opponent off guard.
Hu Liena, your charm has limited effect on those with strong wills; you need to learn to combine it with your teammates' attacks.
"Next, we'll practice the basic techniques. Xie Yue and Yan will be in one group, while Hu Liena will practice the connection of her charm techniques alone. I'll check the results in an hour."
The three immediately accepted the order and began training seriously.
Gu Wuchen stood to the side, occasionally correcting their movements and sometimes demonstrating a few moves himself, his actions crisp and clean.
Just then, a golden figure walked in.
Qian Renxue was dressed in golden armor, her hair tied up high, and her face was expressionless.
As soon as she entered the training ground, Xie Yue and the other two immediately stopped their training and bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Gu Wuchen, and she crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow as she said:
" Gu Wuchen, do you even know how to teach? Don't corrupt this Golden Generation."
Gu Wuchen smiled and walked up to her:
"I'm better at it than you. Besides, what right does a defeated opponent have to be arrogant?"
"You!" Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed slightly with anger. "I was careless last time! If you're so capable, let's have another match!"
"Not interested." Gu Wuchen waved his hand, turned around and took out several exquisite boxes from his Storage Soul Tool. "Perfect timing, I brought you some new products from the Gu Clan."
This is a good opportunity to get back at Qian Renxue.
He first handed Hu Liena two boxes:
"This is Gu Clan's latest beauty cream, and there's also a skirt made of Ice Silkworm, which is very effective at keeping warm."
"Thank you His Highness the Holy Son!"
Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she took the box, overjoyed.
I know how rare Gu Clan's products are, and being able to be among the first to try the latest models is a wonderful thing.
Then, Gu Wuchen handed Xie Yue and Yan each a box:
"Yours are Soul Power amplification potions and wristbands, which can reduce Soul Power consumption during cultivation."
" His Highness the Holy Son!" Xie Yue and Yan quickly accepted the gifts, their faces full of gratitude.
Qian Renxue stood to the side, looking at the gifts in the hands of the three people, and felt a pang of jealousy.
She bit her lip, turned her head away, and pretended not to care, but her eyes kept glancing at Gu Wuchen's Storage Soul Tool.
It's infuriating! This guy did it on purpose.
He always gives gifts to other people in front of her, but he's never willing to give them to himself.
Gu Wuchen brandished the Soul Tool in his hand, " Qian Renxue, if you back down, I'll give you one, how about it?"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, "I don't care."
"Don't you care?" Gu Wuchen raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Then Qian Renxue, you'd better not regret it."
Qian Renxue glanced at the three of them, feeling envious and jealous, yet helpless.
Why are you saying these things again with your foul mouth?
However, Gu Wuchen was clearly doing it on purpose.
I refuse to believe that I can be defeated.
Gu Wuchen chuckled softly.
If you don't like it, then you have the guts to never want it again.
The training process was very quick.
All three of them were very happy.
They received Gu Clan's products.
They were extremely grateful to Gu Wuchen.
As for Qian Renxue, the three of them chose to ignore her.
The young master is no greater than the Holy Son.
Gu Wuchen let the three of them leave first.
He picked up a stack of wooden swords and threw them over.
Qian Renxue took it. "What do you want to do?"
Gu Wuchen smiled faintly, "I'll give you a chance. Didn't you want revenge? This time, we'll simply compete in swordsmanship and strength. If you lose again, just admit defeat."
Qian Renxue gripped the wooden sword in her hand, her golden eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Staring at Gu Wuchen, he said, word by word:
"Bring it on! This time, I definitely won't lose to you again!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Qian Renxue pushed off with her feet and rushed forward first.
The wooden sword, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, pierced straight towards Gu Wuchen.
The sword strikes were sharp and fierce, carrying the holy pressure unique to the Angel Martial Soul, clearly indicating that the swordsman had been holding back his strength.
Gu Wuchen remained calm and dodged the sword by sidestepping.
With a gentle flick of his wooden sword, he struck Qian Renxue precisely on the spine of her sword.
With a crisp clang, Qian Renxue felt a numbness in her arm, and the wooden sword almost slipped from her hand.
Startled, she quickly took two steps back to steady herself.
She never expected that Gu Wuchen could overwhelm her with sheer strength without any Soul Power enhancement.
"Again!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and charged forward once more.
This time, she unleashed the essence of the Angel Sword Technique, her sword moves unpredictable, with glimpses of golden light, each strike aimed at Gu Wuchen's weaknesses.
Gu Wuchen, however, moved with the ease of a stroll, effortlessly deflecting any attack, no matter how fast or fierce it was.
Each of his parries precisely struck the weak points of Qian Renxue's sword techniques.
Each collision sent a sharp pain through Qian Renxue's arm.
After more than a dozen rounds, Qian Renxue was panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat.
His own arm was sore and numb, and his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, while Gu Wuchen's breathing remained steady, without even breaking a sweat.
You are no match for me.
Gu Wuchen spoke calmly.
I thought I could have a great time, but it seems I was overthinking it.
"I haven't lost yet!"
Qian Renxue roared and, with all her might, unleashed her final sword strike at Gu Wuchen.
This sword strike concentrated all her power, carrying a do-or-die momentum, and the air itself seemed to whistle as it was cleaved.
Gu Wuchen's eyes narrowed, and he swung the wooden sword in his hand horizontally.
With a crisp "crack," the two wooden swords collided violently.
Qian Renxue felt an overwhelming force surge through her, and her tiger's mouth was instantly shattered, blood seeping out.
He could no longer hold the wooden sword in his hand; it slipped from his grasp, spun away, and embedded itself in the soil some distance away.
Qian Renxue muttered to herself, "How is this possible!"
