I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 248: What Is Harem of Three Thousand Beauties 1

“Ha... ha...”

In the arena, Liu Zijin and the other four were gasping for breath. Their hands were trembling while still holding the swords. It could be seen that they had done their best.

Wu Qingce, who was surrounded, also felt a little uncomfortable.

This time, he agreed to spar with Liu Zijin and the other four in the arena at the same time. Initially, he thought that this match would be as easy and enjoyable as before. However, he did not expect that with Liu Zijin as the leader, the five of them would form a Lightning Sealing Formation and suppress his lightning spiritual essence.

This allowed Wu Qingce to confirm one thing. These five people would definitely treat him as an imaginary opponent when they practiced.

In the subsequent matches, Liu Zijin and the others’ several rounds of attacks proved that they had indeed studied Wu Qingce’s combat style.

Wu Qingce could even imagine the five of them surrounding each other to discuss which one of them would be in charge of blocking, which one of them would be in charge of interfering, and which one of them would be in charge of counterattacking when he made a move.

“These five people are simply here to help me find the weakness in my cultivation method...”

After a fierce battle, although Wu Qingce still had the upper hand with his absolute strength, Liu Zijin and the others were still able to pose a threat to him several times despite the large difference in their strength. This made Wu Qingce break out in a cold sweat.

“Many thanks to Wu Qing Gang for teaching us.”

After the battle ended, Liu Zijin and the other four cupped their hands towards Wu Qingce while holding their swords.

“I have benefited a lot from this sparring. Thank you, junior sisters.” Wu Qingce also immediately returned the bow.

After bowing to Wu Qingce once again, the five sisters retreated to the bottom of the arena and went to look for Yu Manwen to discuss. During the discussion, the five of them would occasionally raise their heads to look at him. Their eyes filled with determination to defeat him the next time.

The corners of Wu Qingce’s mouth twitched. Although he really wanted to go up and ask them why they were so determined to defeat him, he felt that it was unlikely that they would tell him the truth, so he just let it go. Anyhow, sparring with the five of them was also a beneficial thing for him.

“This Wu Qingce is indeed an outstanding young disciple. If you want to defeat him, you still need to improve your cultivation base further. Otherwise, if you just rely on tactics, you can’t really pose a threat to him,” Yu Manwen said to Liu Zijin and the others.

Liu Zijin said helplessly, “Master, we have been cultivating very hard, but Wu Qing Gang’s cultivation is improving faster. Isn’t it said that the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to improve? I don’t see any signs of this on Wu Qing Gang.”

Yu Manwen nodded. She was quite curious as well. “His growth speed is indeed a bit too astonishing. Moreover, the reason why he is so powerful is not only because he is Sect Master’s direct disciple, but also because his moves are not all from Sect of Returning Hearts. He must have had some special fortuitous encounter outside the sect.”

A handsome face suddenly appeared in Yu Manwen’s mind as she spoke.

“Could it really be him?”

Ever since she realized that Jiang Beiran had a strange feeling when he mentioned Wu Qingce the last time, Yu Manwen had been paying close attention to Wu Qingce. The reason why she had agreed to Liu Zijin’s help with their special training, as well as the reason why she had specially come to the arena was because she wanted to further confirm her guess.

Now that she had personally witnessed Wu Qingce’s powerful strength that far surpassed his peers, although Yu Manwen didn’t have any substantial evidence, she felt that there must be some connection between Wu Qingce and Jiang Beiran.

“Sigh, Wu Qingce is really powerful. Just now, Sister Zijin had completely attracted his attention, but when I attacked, a flying locust stone suddenly hit my hand. I thought that my sword would definitely stab him.” Seeing her master fall into deep thought, Yu Guimiao sighed.

Yu Guimiao also nodded repeatedly at the side and agreed, “Yes, yes, he’s really powerful. If he gets serious, none of the disciples in Sect of Returning Hearts will be his opponent, right?”

After hearing this, Yu Guishui subconsciously retorted, “If Brother Jiang finds a suitable cultivation method, he will definitely be able to surpass Wu Qing Gang very quickly!”

Yu Guimiao and Yu Guimiao couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing this. They couldn’t help but look at their sister with a teasing look.

“Yes, yes, yes! Of course, Brother Jiang is the best. I forgot to include Brother Jiang just now. Sister, don’t be angry.” Yu Guimiao said with a smile.

“I... I’m not angry. I’m just correcting you.” Yu Guishui said with a blush.

Then, Yu Guizhui pulled Yu Guishui’s arm and said, “Brother Jiang is of course the best in the world. This is our common understanding. So, when we talked, we didn’t put them on the same level as us. Sister, don’t be anxious.”

“Who say I’m anxious?” Yu Guishui glanced at Yu Guizhui and spoke.

Seeing her sister lose her composure, Yu Guizhui couldn’t help but feel that Brother Jiang’s charm was too great. The three of them had grown up together. She had never seen Yu Guishui care so much about a person. Even when she talked about topics that had nothing to do with him, her elder sister would jump out in a hurry to protect him. If it were in the past, she wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.

Moreover, ever since they came back from Sect of Masked Moon, the tacit understanding between them had decreased, because her elder sister would occasionally sit and stare blankly. Even though she knew that her elder sister was definitely thinking about Brother Jiang. Yu Guizhui was still unable to resonate with this kind of feeling. This had never happened between the sisters.
