Chapter 795 - 733: Challenging You Wanying
Chapter 795: Chapter 733: Challenging You Wanying
Everyone present could see that this Qu Shu had already begun to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Her spear merely rested on Li Fei’s saber, and he couldn’t lift that saber.
Both hands were gripping the hilt, and his palms had even started to bleed.
Teeth clenched tightly, everyone could see how much strength Li Fei was exerting.
Yet, paradoxically, that saber remained motionless; he couldn’t even twitch the Ring-Handled Saber.
Their realms were not far apart, both possessing Rainbow-Devouring Realm strength, but Qu Shu had comprehended the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Under such disparity, Li Fei indeed couldn’t catch up.
The anticipated duel of equals by those present did not happen, and couldn’t happen.
Qu Shu, already exalted by everyone, was far stronger than imagined.
It was even likely that she was vastly superior to others.
The prodigies participating in the contest wore slightly grim expressions.
They all saw that, barring surprises, they couldn’t withstand even a single move from Qu Shu.
In the testing ground, Qu Shu did not continue to press and retracted her spear.
The weight like a mountain on the Ring-Handled Saber immediately dispersed.
Li Fei sheathed his saber, bowed slightly to Qu Shu, with a hint of a bitter smile on his face.
"Fairy Qu’s strength is far beyond my reach...
Among peers, perhaps only the legendary Shen Han could compare to the Fairy..."
Li Fei seemed quite composed, accepting his defeat with equanimity.
Yet, his mention of Shen Han’s name made Qu Shu frown slightly.
In the crowd, You Wanying also frowned, her expression somewhat displeased.
"Have you met that Shen Han?"
Suddenly, Qu Shu softly asked.
Li Fei probably hadn’t expected Qu Shu to speak to him, and was momentarily stunned.
"I naturally have not met him..."
"Since you haven’t met him, why say he can compare to me?"
Qu Shu’s words somewhat chided Li Fei, making him slightly embarrassed in front of others.
The crowd also realized that this Qu Shu seemed quite proud and disliked being compared with others.
Yet, questioning someone like this in front of others indeed made Li Fei uncomfortable.
Li Fei’s eyes darkened slightly.
"Regardless of his character, that Shen Han managed to escape from Elder You of Tiger Peak Manor.
That alone should be enough to compare to you, Fairy Qu, shouldn’t it?
In fact, I would say that being compared to Shen Han is an honor for you, Fairy Qu."
Confronted publicly by Qu Shu, Li Fei responded with increased firmness.
As his words fell, a middle-aged man swiftly entered the testing ground.
"Lost is lost, why are you talking nonsense here, come back with me."
The speaker was Li Fei’s father.
It was clear his son spoke wrongly.
These words offended both Qu Shu and You Wanying.
But young people often possess a certain pride.
"Which words of mine were nonsense?
I admit my loss to her, it’s my own incompetence.
But everyone knows she surely isn’t as good as Shen Han, not to mention..."
Before the words could be finished, Li Fei’s father had already grabbed his ear and was taking him away.
Young people like to vie for victory and defeat.
But their elders must understand the importance.
Watching him leave, Qu Shu still looked displeased.
She didn’t like being compared to others by everyone.
Or rather, comparison is fine, but the conclusion should be that she is far superior to the counterpart.
"Shu’Er, come back."
In the crowd, an old woman softly called her.
The Grand Elder of Wanhe Palace, Qu Shu’s great-grandmother.
Hearing the elder’s call, Qu Shu moved to leave the testing ground.
"This child has too strong a sense of victory and defeat.
I truly hope for a young peer to temper her sharpness and teach her not to be so proud."
Qu Shu’s great-grandmother feigned a helpless expression, but anyone could sense her words were full of pride.
"If Shen Han would show up, it truly would allow Shu’Er to spar."
While the old woman was bragging, Qu Shu, who was originally leaving the testing ground, suddenly returned.
The crowd was momentarily stunned, not knowing her intentions.
The next moment, Qu Shu looked towards You Wanying, her face seemingly carrying a hint of determination.
"Elder Wanying, this junior is unworthy, but I earnestly request a sparring match with you.
This junior also wants to see if I can escape from your hands!"
Her sudden words startled everyone present.
Qu Shu was challenging You Wanying.
A junior challenging You Wanying in front of everyone...
One must know that a character like You Wanying, should be at the level of Wanhe Palace’s elders.
For a young junior to issue such a challenge.
To You Wanying, it was clearly somewhat insulting.
Perhaps Qu Shu didn’t mean this, she simply wanted to prove herself with no additional thought.
But in the eyes of many, it was indeed an insult to You Wanying.
It also questioned You Wanying’s strength.
Having let a young junior escape, others naturally would question her ability.
In the crowd, You Wanying’s gaze was cold, displaying no emotion.
At this moment, Wanhe Palace’s Grand Elder had already leapt into the testing ground, reaching to pull her.
"I think you’re muddle-headed, speaking nonsense, come down with me!"
The earlier challenge had already offended You Wanying, making her extremely embarrassed.
You Wanying keenly felt how letting Shen Han escape had impacted her own reputation.
