Chapter 82 Why So Domineering
Chapter 82 Why So Domineering
Mystery is the most sacred thing in the world.
When the saint takes off her veil, when the legend comes true, when the gods return to the world... when people witness the true sacredness with their own eyes, the awe that arises from it will silently dissipate, because no matter how beautiful a face is, it will become ordinary; no matter how ethereal a legend is, it will become ordinary once it comes to life; no matter how noble a god is, he has his own bad nature, so there is no need to be overly reverent.
This is the truth that this sentence wants to convey.
Gu Zhuo disagreed with Pei Jinge's opinion, because he didn't think there were any so-called peers in this world who were stronger than himself.
That is bound to be an absurd and boring conclusion.
Just because he didn't believe this conclusion didn't mean he had no interest in getting to know this unknown girl in a green dress.
Walking through the snow and snow and stepping onto the frozen lake, the rustling sound was drowned out by the huge sound of the wind.
Gu Zhuo stopped only when the distance between them was only ten feet.
He held up an umbrella, looked over the fluttering snowflakes, and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
The girl in the green dress looked at him quietly and hummed.
Gu Zhuo suddenly asked: "What if I don't come to see you?"
The girl in the green skirt said, "The mountain is right there."
So you and I will meet eventually.
Gu Zhuo understood and said, "You don't speak like someone of your age."
The girl in the green dress was quiet for a moment, then explained seriously, "Maybe it's because the people around me are used to talking like this."
"Words have endless meanings, like clouds and mist covering mountains."
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "It seems that the people you usually get along with are of extraordinary status. They don't want their intentions to be easily guessed, or they are worried that their words will cause too much waves."
This was certainly not his usual speaking style, but he spoke very naturally this time, without any obstacles.
The girl in the green skirt hummed.
Gu Zhuo said: "So you don't have to be so cautious about what you say now."
The girl in the green skirt seemed to think that this sentence made some sense. After thinking for a while, she said, "My name is Yu Sheng."
The wind and snow were howling.
Gu Zhuo thought that the name seemed a bit unlucky.
He didn't think any further and calmly introduced himself, even though the other party must know who he was.
The names have been exchanged, and now it’s time to talk about business.
"What compensation do you want?"
Yu Sheng's voice is very soft, very gentle, and very pleasant to the ear.
However, the meaning of this sentence is not beautiful.
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "Has this been decided?"
Yu Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "No."
"Please advise."
"According to the rules, I shouldn't have participated in this summer festival, but I did, and my place counts, so naturally I have to compensate you accordingly."
Gu Zhuo thought that was indeed the case.
At first, he was a little confused as to why he was not the first person and finished the mountain road later than Yu Sheng. Now, everything seemed to have an answer.
Bai Nanming was indeed going to accept a disciple during this summer festival, but the disciple she had her eyes on was not Bai Langxing, but Yu Sheng.
It was Yu Sheng, who had been practicing beside her for a long time.
This is obviously a violation of the rules.
A powerful figure like Pei Jinge, who stood at the highest point of the empire, had known about this long before the beginning of summer, so he gave the second answer that puzzled the world.
Because they believed that no matter how powerful Gu Zhuo was, he could not be better than Yu Sheng, who was trained personally by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
When Yu Sheng decided to participate in this summer festival and become Bai Nanming's direct disciple and inherit the mantle of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who could take the first place away from her?
Everyone thinks so.
That's the way it should be.
Gu Zhuo didn't say anything.
Yu Sheng said: "There is no rush for compensation, you can think about it slowly."
This sentence still reveals an unquestionable strong self-confidence, which is made more absolute by its indifference.
Gu Zhuo stopped looking at her and turned to look at the sky and the peak that reached into the sky.
If the person is an extremely proud person, when he sees the other person withdrawing his gaze, he will definitely stop looking and turn away proudly.
Yu Sheng has the right to be proud, but she doesn't.
Only after she was sure that Gu Zhuo had no interest in speaking did she blink and look at the same scenery.
In the wind and snow, the figures of the two people gradually became blurred.
……
……
The confrontation on the icy lake was witnessed by the world.
People couldn't help but feel surprised, and then began to ask who the girl in green skirt was who had finished the long mountain path faster than Gu Zhuo. Their voices kept echoing among the crowd, but they still couldn't get a clear answer.
On the flying boat, the most powerful people in the world who were above ten thousand people had some guesses about this. However, because they had not heard the conversation buried by the wind and snow, they did not dare to jump to conclusions and could only maintain a strange silence.
Although they remained silent, their gazes gradually shifted to Pei Jinge, and doubts gradually appeared in their eyes.
Pei Jinge turned a blind eye to it.
Her eyes drooped slightly, as if she was about to fall asleep, and she tapped the railing lightly.
A soft sound.
Outside the flying boat, the clouds and mist gradually dissipated.
……
……
The cold fog suddenly dissipated, followed by a loud bang.
Most of the candidates who had finally finished the long mountain path had no time to rest before they saw the wind and snow rushing and gathering in the sky with a loud roar, and finally transformed into giant statues more than ten feet tall.
The size of the giant statues was different, and seemed to be determined by the number of candidates passing through the current mountain path. Some held long spears like god generals, some were flying snakes with wings on their backs, some were ground worms that were just a small ball on the ground, and some were wolves with fierce eyes...
They are either located on the stone platform, or in the ice lake, and some are even hovering in the snowy sky, spying on the candidates climbing the mountain.
As long as the candidates take one more step forward, these giant statues made of ice and snow will attack without hesitation.
If the long mountain road tests the examinees' realm and will.
Now the topic of this question is undoubtedly fighting.
In front of a stone platform, several candidates stopped in their tracks.
Lin Wanyi was also among them.
She looked at the flying snake, silently observing every change of the monster.
After a moment, she closed her eyes, using the cold wind and snow to calm her mind, then opened her eyes and walked forward.
Under the gaze of the candidates, the flying snake dived down without hesitation and launched its attack on Lin Wanyi. Similar scenes continued to appear in the eyes of the world. Those geniuses at the top of the list listed by the Sky Patrol Department continued to move forward without hesitation.
Following closely behind them were the temporary teams formed on the mountain road, who also began a tough battle.
However, more people still choose to stay where they are, waiting for feedback from the pioneers so as to adjust their own battle strategies.
……
……
The flying boat at the highest point.
Pei Jinge suddenly asked: "Do you think Gu Zhuo has a chance of winning?"
"No."
The queen said without thinking, "No matter how talented he is, the best he can get in this summer festival is second place."
Pei Jinge was quiet for a while, his eyes fell on a certain picture on the screen, and said, "Really?"
There were only two people in that picture.
Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng.
These two people who were the first to complete the long mountain road were naturally the first to face the second test.
For some unknown reason, the monster made of ice and snow that appeared in front of them was obviously much stronger than the monsters faced by other candidates.
What made it even more unreasonable was that it was a lifelike snow eagle that broke through the ice and launched a sneak attack.
If the focus of the second assessment is combat, everyone should face opponents of equal difficulty, and there shouldn't be such a difference.
The queen looked at the picture on the screen and said, "Do you think Gu Zhuo has a chance?"
Pei Jinge hummed.
Then she said, “Mainly because I hate the way things are.”
The queen smiled, with a hint of emotion in her smile, and shook her head and said, "So I also felt a little sorry for him at the beginning."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear.
Gu Zhuo can't do it.
The second is his end point.
……
……
a moment ago.
The cold wind howled incessantly, like a sharp blade striking the body.
When there were faint movements under the ice lake and the ice surface began to become restless, Gu Zhuo had already withdrawn his gaze and retreated with his sleeves fluttering.
Unlike him, Yu Sheng just stood there quietly as if he knew nothing.
Until the moment when the snow eagle broke through the ice, flapped its wings, and lifted up the lake water more than ten feet high to fall into it, her expression was still so calm and indifferent, as if what was facing her was only endless sunshine.
Her figure kept rising and falling in the turbulent lake water along with the broken ice under her feet, but she was always as steady as at the beginning.
The lake water fell like a mountain.
Yu Sheng waved his sleeves lightly and used his true energy to create a barrier in front of him without making any attempt to avoid it.
boom!
When the two met, the lake water splashed everywhere, but Yu Sheng's clothes were not wet.
The next moment, the Snow Eagle seemed to be enraged, and it let out a long roar with its body made of ice and snow. However, its anger did not destroy its reason, and it swooped down towards the girl standing in the lake.
It concentrated its true energy into its wings and began to wave them.
Strong winds followed, sweeping up the lake water and forming several waterspouts.
The several water tornadoes mixed with broken ice directly surrounded Yu Sheng, who was still staying in the middle of the lake. They maintained a perfect distance from each other, forming an invisible and insurmountable wind wall, constantly compressing the space.
Gu Zhuo watched this scene quietly.
Yu Shengwei raised his head and glanced at the sky.
Then she lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on the tip of her shoe sticking out from the hem of her skirt, and thought briefly.
At this moment, she looked gentle and demure, without any threat at all.
boom.
The ice under Yu Sheng's feet broke.
But it was not because of the approaching tornadoes, but because of herself.
Because in the next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared without a trace and rushed straight up.
At the same time, the snow eagle felt an extremely terrible threat, and folded its wings without hesitation, gave up the attack, and prepared to move away.
But it's too late.
At the moment it realized the horror, Yu Sheng had already appeared in front of it, and by the way, he assumed a posture that was convenient for exerting force and simply extended his fist.
The punch hit Snow Eagle's head.
No sound was heard.
Gu Zhuo and the people who were watching the fight only saw the giant eagle, which had stirred up several water tornadoes with its wings, turn into snowflakes and dissipate in the sky.
Yu Sheng floated down.
The braided pigtail behind her swayed in the wind like a flag, which was inexplicably beautiful.
She looked at Gu Zhuo, with a beautiful and gentle smile on her ordinary face, and said softly: "Then I will go first."
……
……
Gods.
Everyone who saw that scene fell silent, because no one expected the battle to end in this way.
Until one moment, someone on the flying boat finally couldn't help but express his or her feelings.
"She is obviously a gentle woman, why does she act so domineeringly?"
The flying boat at the highest point.
The queen's expression remained unchanged as she glanced at the person who had spoken.
……
……
Cangshan.
Gu Zhuo watched Yu Sheng leave, thinking about the previous scene, and said to himself: "It's interesting."
After saying this, he walked forward.
The snow and wind roared again, condensing into a brand new giant statue that appeared in front of him.
