What?
At that moment, everybody thought that she was crazy.
A Qi collection level two wanted to go up against a Qi collection level five? Was she sure she was not crazy?
"Grandpa, I agree to that!"
Not waiting for Ling Yi to speak, the Young Master of the Ling family stood up abruptly. He looked down at Gu Ruoyun who was a head shorter than him.
"Gu Ruoyun, this is you digging your own grave! I hereby accept your challenge, brace yourself!"
"Wait!"
Young Master Ling was just about to strike when a sudden yell disrupted him.
He retracted his hand and sneered, "What? Are you scared? If you’re afraid, then kneel down, knock your head loudly on the the ground while calling out ‘Grandfather’ three times. I might just spare your life!"
Gu Ruoyun curled her lips in disdain. "If I were afraid, then I wouldn’t have challenged you. However, the duel that I mentioned is not to be today, but after a month!"
"Haha!" Young Master Ling laughed loudly. "Gu Ruoyun, I get it. You want to live one more month. I am not an insensible person. I’ll let you live for one more month. Grandpa, let’s go. I’ll come back and kill this good-for-nothing after a month. That’ll save some rations for their household!"
His meaning was clear. I, Young Master Ling, will be killing Gu Ruoyun for the sake of the general’s quarters. How wasteful it is to feed a good-for-nothing like this? So, the general quarters shouldn’t blame me but thank me instead!
Looking at the departing Young Master Ling’s back, General Gu’s expression was ghastly.
The way he saw it, it was fine if Gu Ruoyun died as long as it was not by his hands. But this good-for-nothing had the gall to challenge the Young Master of the Ling family to a duel! Wasn’t this humiliating the household?
If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have been insulted by the Ling family!
"Hng!"
When he thought about this, General Gu took a deep breath. He shook his cuffs fiercely and walked straight out of the living room. He didn’t even spare Gu Ruoyun a glance…
"Gu Ruoyun, you’re too full of yourself."
Gu Panpan looked with disdain at Gu Ruoyun and she jeered, "You wishfully think to duel with the Young Master of the Ling family? Do you know who the Young Master of the Ling family is? His aunt is the most beloved concubine of the emperor, his master is the champion of Azure Dragon Country! With the champion of Azure Dragon Country as his master, do you think he’ll be afraid of your brother?"
With that, Gu Panpan grunted, turned and left without sparing her another glance.
...
There was a breeze at the back of the mountain.
Gu Ruoyun was sitting on a rock, her eyes closed in deep thought.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and a gleam flashed in her gaze like lightning.
"That’s right, the Ancient Divine Pagoda. What happened to it…"
That day, if it weren’t for the Ancient Divine Pagoda which stopped her, she would’ve died along with Xiaming and the others, and her soul would not be saved…
Now, she still had the chance to enter the East Peak mainland and avenge her mother and grandfather!
However, the Ancient Divine Pagoda had assimilated with her own body. How was she going to take it out?
"Bah! Let’s just see exactly which part of my body is the Ancient Divine Pagoda in!"
Gu Ruoyun closed her eyes and let her spiritual sense scan her body.
It was at this moment that she realized her Spiritual Ocean was much wider than an ordinary person’s.
As it was generally known, when a Martial Warrior began his cultivation, all of his Spiritual Force would be condensed into his Spiritual Ocean. Once the Spiritual Ocean was filled with Spiritual Force, the Martial Warrior could ascend to the next level.
The average Martial Warrior’s Spiritual Ocean would only be the size of a bowl, but Gu Ruoyun’s Spiritual Ocean was like the actual vast ocean. That was the reason why her cultivation had been slow to progress.
But there weren’t any real Cultivators in Azure Dragon Country and they wouldn’t know the advantages of having a vast Spiritual Ocean.
The more powerful you got, the more obstacles you would face. If you wished to break through these obstacles, then you needed the power of understanding of a Cultivator!
The wider the Spiritual Ocean, the stronger the power of understanding of the Martial Warrior. If the former her had a Spiritual Ocean this vast, she might have long surpassed the level of Martial Honour and reached Martial Supreme. Even in the East Peak Mainland, the number of Martial Supremes were few and far between. Once a person reached this level, he could establish himself as Supreme Ruler.
You must know that the champion of Azure Dragon Country is only a high Martial General. It was plain to see just how powerful a Martial Supreme was…
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun noticed a small and exquisite purple pagoda submerged in the Spiritual Ocean. Her heart was instantly filled with joy. "Ancient Divine Pagoda! I have finally found you…"
Hong!
A great shockwave traveled from within the Spiritual Ocean, striking right into Gu Ruoyun’s head. The shock made her head buzz. When she came to her senses, a purple gown appeared in front of her…
