Although Gongsun Qi recognized Fang Yan's abilities and felt that he was much better than himself, he still found it very difficult to accept the comparison between Fang Yan and his most respected master, Shenlong Kunming.
"Master, how can Fang Yan be your opponent?" Gongsun Qi said bluntly. "I know his skills, he is just a little bit better than me - the gap between me and Master is more than a thousand miles. Compared with Master, he is like a grain of light competing with the bright moon, which is a shame for himself."
Kunming knew how his apprentice felt, and he originally thought that he was his destined opponent, the enemy he was striving to defeat. And he had been working hard for this goal.
But now I tell him that it will be difficult for him to surpass the other person, and his opponent will be myself - it is really discouraging.
"I received news that Fang Yan has inherited the Tai Chi Diagram and has just broken through the Water Overflow Realm." Kunming said calmly, as if it was an insignificant matter. "Water Overflow is the highest mystery of Tai Chi, similar to the Heavenly Dao Realm. Once you enter the realm, you will step onto the golden road, and your future is limitless."
"What?" Gongsun Qi was shocked and asked, "How is it possible? How long has it been? How old is he?"
It was no wonder that Gongsun Qi was so shocked. They had just returned from a mission outside. At that time, Fang Yan was not far behind him. The two of them were standing at the same starting line and sprinting forward.
His injured leg had just healed, but his opponent had already entered another realm
It was impossible for me to catch up with him now, and I could only look up at his tall figure. This feeling was really powerless.
"He can gain enlightenment overnight and leap a thousand miles. How can you look at him with old eyes?" Kunming said while admonishing him. "Now he has finally grown into a towering tree, and the hatred between me and their Fang family will eventually be continued and inherited----"
"He wants to challenge Master?"
"No, I want to challenge him." Shenlong said with great effort. "I have been trapped in this red wall for a long time, so I wanted to find an opportunity to move. But the old friends are mysterious and hard to find. Fortunately, Fang Yan rushed out and gave me some ideals and motivation to move. Fang Yan just spied on the overflowing water, and he was full of confidence and high-spirited. Go meet him for me and set a date for the decisive battle. I think he will accept the challenge."
"Master, even if Fang Yan breaks through to the Water Overflow Realm, he can't be your opponent-----" Gongsun Qi looked at his master, and in his heart he wanted to plead for Fang Yan. After all, it was Fang Yan who saved his life from the Devil's Forest. When he just met Fang Yan, he thought Fang Yan was a bastard. During that mission, he thought Fang Yan was a bastard good man. He could obviously leave by himself, and he didn't have to carry this burden with him, but he didn't give up on himself, no matter how dangerous and difficult the process of their escape was. "It's not fair to challenge Fang Yan at this time. Otherwise, give him some more time?"
"In your opinion, the longer one lives, the higher his cultivation level will be?" Kun Ku Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "It depends on luck, intention, and ambition. These are the keys to victory. Of course, the strength of both sides must be equal, and the difference cannot be too big. Don't say anything more, just do as I say."
"Yes, Master." Gongsun Qi agreed reluctantly.
Just as he was about to pack up and leave, Qingniao pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked in. He glanced at Gongsun Qi, walked straight to Shenlong Kunming, and said, "Mr. Shenlong, Fang Yan is here and wants to see you-------"
"Is Fang Yan here?" Gongsun Qi asked anxiously. He had just talked to his master about Fang Yan and was thinking of a way to help him reject his master's invitation to fight, but he didn't expect that he would come to him on his own.
Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted after entering the Water Overflow Realm? Did he think that he could challenge his master in this way
Arrogant guy!
"Yes." Qingniao looked back at Gongsun Qi, not understanding why he was so excited. "Fang Yan just met with the young leader, and will meet Mr. Shenlong after that."
Kunming nodded and said, "Fang Yan has broken through the water overflow boundary. The country should pay attention to it. Please invite him in."
"Yes." Qingniao turned and left, and soon walked in with Fang Yan.
When Gongsun Qi saw Fang Yan again, he found that his image and aura had indeed changed greatly.
In the past, Fang Yan was casual in his words and laughter, but when he got angry, he was sharp and aggressive. Moreover, his behavior was not mature and steady enough, and there was always a feeling that he was trying hard to take advantage of others.
Fang Yan is now handsome, refreshing and freehand, looking like a beautiful landscape painting. His walking posture is elegant, his smile is charming, and even if he doesn't say a word, people can feel his inner cultivation and unfathomable accomplishment.
Fang Yan looks more amiable now, but when you want to bully him, you feel oppressed as you have nowhere to put your strength and are on guard everywhere.
"Fang Yan, what are you doing here?" Gongsun Qi stood in front of his master and winked at Fang Yan desperately. Get out of here quickly, it will be too late.
Fang Yan understood Gongsun Qi's intentions. After that life and death journey together, deep down in his heart, he also regarded Gongsun Qi as his own brother.
But some things have to be said and some things have to be done.
Only by following your heart can you achieve great success.
The overflowing water is more about being natural. Challenging the dragon and avenging Qinglong Moqing's humiliation is his most persistent belief in his heart and the task he wants to accomplish the most.
With the old drunk gone, it became his fate to challenge the dragon and endure the hardship.
He will not and cannot escape.
"I'm here to issue a challenge." Fang Yan looked at Shenlong with a straightforward look, and said with a smile: "I have long wished for many years, and I hope Mr. Shenlong will fulfill it."
Qinglong was horrified, she didn't expect Fang Yan to come to see Shenlong and challenge him actively-------Ever since Shenlong entered the Red Wall and became a worshiper of Xuanbu, she had never heard of anyone daring to challenge him actively.
Fang Yan actually dared to do such a thing, naturally
The dragon laughed loudly, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, are you so confident that you can defeat me after entering the Water Overflow Realm?"
"I don't have confidence." Fang Yan said very frankly: "But I know that now is my best time. I don't know what the future will be like, and I don't know how far I can grow - but I feel that my physical condition is very good now, just like I can kill a tiger with a casual punch, and I can kick down a mountain with a kick-------"
"Mr. Shenlong has been famous for a long time, and his cultivation is unfathomable------but I can't wait, and I can't afford to wait. Because I know that when I work hard to practice, Mr. Shenlong is also making progress------I can't wait until you are too old to swing a fist or lift a sword before challenging you------this is an insult to you, and also to me. It's even more of an insult to the old drunkard------If he knew I did such a thing, he would definitely curse at me-------"
"A martial arts competition is a matter of luck, courage, and determination. I have the determination to fight, and I have the courage to fight to the death. The rest is up to luck. My luck has always been good, and people with bad luck cannot enter the Shuiyi Realm at this age. So, I want to take a gamble. When I feel I am the strongest, I will challenge you."
Gongsun Qi stared at Fang Yan in amazement, thinking, what this kid said is exactly the same as what the master just said.
Courage, determination, and luck - that's what Master said just now.
Kunming looked at his apprentice Gongsun Qi and said, "Do you understand the difference between you two now?"
"----------" Gongsun Qi's face was ashen. How could there be a master who would insult his apprentice in front of others like this
However, Gongsun Qi couldn't be angry about this kind of thing now. He was extremely anxious.
The master is a master of the Tiandao realm who has been famous for many years, and Fang Yan can be regarded as a top master who has entered the Shuiyi realm. In a decisive battle with an opponent of this level, it is either injury or death, and it is very difficult to show mercy.
And because Qinglong Mo underestimated his enemy, Fang Yan would definitely attack with hatred - at that time, the two of them would be in a situation of fighting to the death.
Gongsun Qi didn't want his master to lose, but he also didn't want his friend to die. In his heart, he still felt that Fang Yan, who had just entered the Water Overflow Realm, was no match for his master, whose cultivation was unfathomable.
Shenlong looked at Fang Yan with satisfaction and said, "A man should behave like this. I accept your challenge."
"Thank you, Mr. Shenlong." Fang Yan bowed and thanked him. After he stood up, he looked at Shenlong and asked, "What time do you think is suitable, Mr. Shenlong?"
"Time doesn't matter." Kunming waved his hand casually. "I'm always here for you, whenever it's convenient for you."
"How about after seven days?" Fang Yan said.
"So anxious?"
"I am getting married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so it is best for us to compete before the wedding. This way - if I die, the girl still has a chance to remarry. Don't you think so?" Fang Yan was still a little selfish. He was afraid that it would be hard for him to challenge the dragon after marriage. If he lost his life, wouldn't Ye Wenrou become a widow
So he scheduled the final battle before their wedding. In this way, if he died accidentally, Ye Wenrou would still be a virgin and could still marry another young man. He would still feel uncomfortable in his heart, but as long as Ye Wenrou was happy, that was enough.
Kunming laughed loudly and said, "Interesting. Really interesting. I'll do as you say. Seven days later, we'll have a decisive battle at Fengshan."
The time was set by Fang Yan, so he had no objection to Kunming's choice of the location for the final battle.
"It's a deal." Fang Yan said firmly, "Seven days later, we will have a decisive battle at Fengshan." (To be continued)
