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

It has to be said that Chu Lingxiao is truly worthy of being the "Son of Fortune" chosen by Heaven. He has performed extremely well in all aspects, and even his learning ability is very strong.

At first, Gu Qingze was able to barely cope with him when sparring with him. However, when Ling Xiao became familiar with his moves, Gu Qingze could only retreat step by step.

He also tried various different routines, but Ling Xiao was like a prophet and could accurately predict his moves every time.

...................................................

"I lost again."

Gu Qingze looked at Ling Xiao who was pointing a sword at his chest and smiled helplessly.

This was the umpteenth time he had lost in the past few days, as if his failures were equal to the number of times they sparred.

After hearing him admit defeat, Chu Lingxiao put the sword pointing at his chest back into the scabbard.

"Ling Xiao, you are really amazing."

Gu Qingze praised earnestly. In fact, he did not have any complicated feelings such as jealousy or resentment, and he did not feel that he was inferior to his partner.

He would only feel happy that his partner was more capable than himself, and he might even need to rely on Ling Xiao's protection in the future.

Chu Lingxiao looked at the smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be happy about winning the competition. He just nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Qingze... do you think this kind of competition is boring?"

"No, why do you ask?"

Gu Qingze looked at him puzzledly.

"Because sparring should be a back-and-forth thing. Now you are basically the losing party. Are you unhappy?"

After understanding Chu Lingxiao's concerns, Gu Qingze patted him on the shoulder and said.

"No, when it comes to sparring, don't just look at the result; the most important thing is the process. Although I lost, I gained a lot of practical experience, and I have already mastered the second move of the Heavenly Ice Sword Technique."

"On the contrary, it's you who are not happy even though you won the sparring match. That's what makes me feel very uncomfortable."

After hearing Gu Qingze's words, Chu Lingxiao felt a little comforted and his mood became much better.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from all around: "Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Chu, it's so late at night, and you are still here to learn from each other. You are very hardworking."

It's Senior Brother Lu! Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao already knew his voice before they even saw him.

"Brother, you are too kind. In addition to sparring again, we are also waiting for you."

"Wait for me?" Lu Xingchen stepped out from the darkness, his face full of confusion.

"What's waiting for me?"

"Senior Brother Lu, we..." Before they finished speaking, Lu Xingchen seemed to have guessed something.

"Could it be that Junior Brother took the initiative to admit defeat and give up the duel?"

Although Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao did not come for this matter, they did not refute at this moment, but wanted to hear Lu Xingchen's opinion on the matter.

"Then Senior Brother Lu, do you think I'm wrong like other sword cultivators? For example, you shouldn't give up, but should finish the competition seriously."

Chu Lingxiao spoke in a lower voice as he became more and more curious about Senior Brother Lu's evaluation of him.

"This is your decision. I have no right to comment. And the sword competition does not stipulate that you cannot abandon the competition. You did not violate the rules, so you are not wrong."

Hearing Lu Xingchen's words, Chu Lingxiao felt warm in his heart and his tone became softer.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu."

"Why thank me? I didn't help you at all. Other sword cultivators are still criticizing this matter."

Lu Xingchen said seriously that there was no reward without merit, and he had not done anything to deserve Chu Lingxiao's gratitude.
