After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Gu Qingze glanced at Lin Yu on the other side of the duel stage and found that he had been waiting for his reply.

The disciples in the stands looked at the two people standing still, obviously confused. It had been so long since the Sixth Elder announced the start of the battle, why didn't anyone take any action? Was it a tactic?

Gu Qingze tried to use his spiritual power to communicate with Chu Lingxiao in the stands to seek his opinion.

However, in order not to affect other disciples watching the duel, a thick protective cover was set up around the duel venue, which not only offsets most of the impact caused by the duel, but also has a sound insulation function.

Therefore, the transmitted words were offset when passing through the protective shield and could not reach Chu Lingxiao at all.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Only the breeze gently brushed across Gu Qingze's face, reminding him that a crucial duel was taking place.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He knew that he could not hesitate any longer and had to make a decision as soon as possible.

However, his heart was full of contradictions and entanglements, as if there were two voices arguing in his mind.

A voice told him to carry out the decision made before the duel and give up the duel directly so as not to make Ling Xiao worry.

Another voice said that this was a good opportunity for actual combat, to fight against someone as powerful as Lin Yu, and the opponent had suppressed his own cultivation. If Lin Yu was really honest and trustworthy and only fought with swordsmanship, then this duel was not without any chance of winning.

At this moment, Lin Yu seemed to notice Gu Qingze's hesitation and tilted his head in confusion.

"Junior Brother Gu, why are you still hesitating? Is there something you still have unresolved?"

Then, without waiting for Gu Qingze's answer, he continued on his own.

"... Could it be that you are afraid that I will suddenly change my mind halfway through the duel with you and restore my suppressed cultivation?"

"If it's because of this, I can make a contract. For example, if I suddenly recover from this duel, my swordsmanship will never improve even a little bit for the rest of my life."

The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was a feasible solution, so he began to read the words of the contract, but was interrupted by Gu Qingze halfway through.

"Brother Lin, you... this is just a duel, why do you have to give yourself such a harsh order..."

“No matter how severe the cost of violating the law is, as long as you don’t violate it and keep a clear conscience, you will naturally not be afraid.”

"Junior Brother Gu, what I have always pursued is swordsmanship and sword intent. Cultivation is just a byproduct. If I forcibly crush you because of my cultivation, how can my swordsmanship improve by even a little bit?"

Lin Yu looked at Gu Qingze seriously, without any joking in his eyes.

Gu Qingze couldn't help but be moved when he heard Lin Yu's words.

He didn't expect Lin Yu to be so sincere and willing to use such harsh conditions to ensure the fairness of this duel.

"Okay, since Senior Brother Lin is so sincere, I will accept this duel." Gu Qingze finally made a decision, and his eyes became firm.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy immediately attacked Gu Qingze.

Gu Qingze flashed and easily dodged the sword attack. A long sword also appeared in his hand. It was the sword he got from the sword pool - "Qingxin Sword", and he started a fierce battle with Lin Yu...
