Nothing More Than Teaching by Example and Following Suit

"Huh? It's only been a short while, and the momentum has already changed so much? No way, the change is too fast."

"Those moves just now were all extraordinary, so it's normal to be tired. You just need to rest for a while."

"Take a break?" Someone gently shook their head.

"If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What do you mean by 'take a break'?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he's just putting on an act. I feel like Shen Wentian isn't using his full strength at all. Look, even the bloodline mark between his brows hasn't appeared."

"Perhaps there will be some twists and turns later. It would be too ridiculous to lose like this."

People have different opinions.

Shen Tianxun heard everything, but his expression didn't change much; he simply watched calmly.

"Wentian adjusted his mindset quite quickly."

Seeing that Shen Wentian was beginning to show a situation where they were evenly matched, or even slightly at a disadvantage, Shen Tianxun nodded secretly.

Shen Wentian's attack on Gu Chen just now clearly showed that he still intended to win directly.

However, judging from the results, it is clear that the indecisiveness and hesitation ultimately led to a lack of significant progress.

After all, breaking through at a critical moment during a battle requires considerable restraint from Shen Wentian, who already possesses advantages in realm and strength.

The subconscious desire to win forces one to resist the urge to suppress one's abilities.

He was well aware that hesitation would affect his ability to perform at his best.

Right now, Shen Wentian is clearly focused on his work, and he is beginning to voluntarily relinquish his advantages in exchange for pressure, seeking opportunities for a breakthrough.

Shen Tianxun's judgment was largely correct.

Aside from whether Shen Wentian took the initiative.

At this very moment.

On the field, Gu Chen's advantage visibly increased, and the situation of being evenly matched was no longer the case.

On the contrary, Gu Chen's attack was far more powerful than it had been at the beginning, and he had already put Shen Wentian under pressure.

This scene left many people present sighing with emotion.

"Could this be the result of the Shen Clan's all-out efforts to cultivate him?" someone asked, puzzled.

Some people secretly shook their heads:

"It seems like I've ruined it!"

Some people looked at Shen Tianxun with curiosity:

"They're so calm? This is the final battle. If they lose, what will become of the Shen Clan's reputation..."

Du Niansheng's gaze also fell on Shen Tianxun's face. Seeing the latter's calmness, his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

"Does the Shen Clan have some other arrangements?"

But then he thought, with the Aptitude of a Great Emperor of the Shen Clan on his side, what other arrangements could the Shen Clan possibly make?

"Being unforgiving when you're in the right is just a convenient excuse; it makes you think you're in control."

Shen Tianxun looked at Gu Chen, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.

Gu Chen was indeed very strong, but Gu Chen's current intention to take advantage of the situation and win was extremely distasteful to him.

"Once Tian'er seizes the opportunity, that will be the time when your head is separated from your body."

On the other side.

Qin Li turned to look at Shen Wenxi and said:

"Your father must be getting anxious. Come here."

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi let out a soft "hmm," looked over, and smiled:

"What, is there a plan?"

Qin Li nodded:

"Just in case."

As they were talking, Shen Wenxi had already sat down in front of Qin Li.

"This 'what if' mentality is typical of a young girl—she's afraid it will happen, yet she's also afraid it won't."

As Mu Fan spoke, he stood up and began working on the formation.

Xiao Ye then changed his position.

Lu Changzhi watched this scene with great interest, and for a moment he felt quite emotional:

"My disciples have grown up; they've learned to band together and cause trouble."

Although I don't know why I didn't tell myself.

But obviously I'll find out soon enough.

For a moment, Lu Changzhi simply stopped paying attention to the game.

Rather than watching the rather predictable match on the field, it's better to watch the disciples busy themselves.

I had only just regained my focus.

At this moment.

Several gasps of surprise suddenly rang out from all around.

On the field.

Gu Chen's shot struck Shen Wentian, sending Shen Wentian flying backward.

Bang!

Shen Wentian stomped heavily on the ground.

Even though he was wearing armor, taking such a shot still caused his breathing to become somewhat erratic.

As soon as he stopped, he mustered his strength again and charged towards Gu Chen.

The next moment, the two clashed again.

"This..."

Some people hesitated, seemingly unable to think of a suitable way to express themselves.

And just then...

On the field, during the match.

A sudden realization flashed across Shen Wentian's face.

That fleeting feeling, in an unconscious moment, was suddenly seized upon.

A feeling of enlightenment instantly filled his mind.

Everything that had been cultivated and mastered seemed to undergo a strange reaction in an instant, and things that many people had never been aware of suddenly appeared.

Boom!

Shen Wentian's aura suddenly surged up without any warning. His entire aura, like a hundred-foot pole reaching new heights, became extremely sharp, forcefully elevating his original level.

"Huh?"

Liu Duanyuan turned to look at the field, uttered a soft "hmm," and looked surprised.

"Did they actually seize an opportunity amidst the crisis?"

"It seems this Shen Tianxun is indeed quite remarkable."

This kind of thing is extremely difficult, and those who can do it are very rare. He never expected to encounter it today.

But soon, as if he had thought of something, Liu Duanyuan glanced at Gu Chen, who had retreated and created some distance between them.

"No, this shouldn't be considered a typical crisis situation."

"Gu Chen's bloodline, overall style, and weapons are quite similar. Moreover, Gu Chen is clearly more skilled in combat. Judging from this, it should be because Gu Chen taught him by example, and Shen Wentian followed suit."

Having sorted things out, Liu Duanyuan no longer felt there was anything wrong with it.

At that moment, Shen Tianxun's voice came through.

"Senior Liu, please pause the obscuring so that everyone can better sense the Wentian."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere-building team that Shen Clan had already planted within the crowd began to exert its influence:

"Holy crap, Shen Wentian seized an opportunity for a breakthrough during the battle?"

"To be able to seize an opportunity to break through during a crisis—that seems like an opportunity that only those born extraordinary would have. I never expected Shen Wentian to be one of those people!"

"I understand now. So all of that was just a deliberate show of weakness. Shen Wentian was intentionally using Gu Chen as a whetstone to give him an opportunity. It wasn't that he lacked strength, but that he was deliberately letting him have it!"

Suddenly, sounds rang out from all directions.

However, perhaps Shen Wentian's shift from advantage to disadvantage was too rapid, or perhaps his overall performance did not meet many people's expectations.

In short, despite someone taking the lead, the reaction from the audience was rather lukewarm, or even, indescribable.

"Does the Shen Clan really have to resort to such awkward methods? Seriously..."

"Exactly, exactly. Even if someone at the Saint King Realm Sixth Stage is suppressing their strength against someone who has just entered the Saint King Realm, it shouldn't be considered a crisis, right?"

"I don't think it's about suppressing strength. Maybe that's just how strong they really are. But what good is this so-called opportunity? Can it reverse the situation and decide the outcome?"

All parties are skeptical of this.

On the field, Shen Tianxun's expression darkened slightly upon seeing the crowd's reaction.

"That's enough, let's leave it at that."

With a silent decision, Shen Tianxun decided to end the match on the field.

Right now, they are preparing to launch an attack, making preparations to kill Gu Chen with a single blow.

"This Gu Chen is indeed no ordinary person. Even though Wentian severely injured him, the impact was ultimately insufficient for everyone to remember him."

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Tianxun's eyes.

Gu Chen must not be allowed to live!

Therefore, we should give Tian'er the strongest support!
