Chapter 93 Nothing more than practice makes perfect~
"this……"
Zuo Ruotong twitched the corner of her mouth.
He knew, of course, that the Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing was joking with him, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Go away, go away! Do you really think you're some hot commodity? Even if I were willing to trade, the Left Sect Master wouldn't want to take you in!"
Look at your arrogant and spoiled manner all day long. How can you compare to Brother Zhuge?
"It's fortunate you lost today's competition. If you had won, wouldn't you have made a scene throughout the entire Celestial Master's Mansion on your first day back on the mountain?"
As she spoke, Zhang Jingqing also widened her eyes.
"You said you still had questions for Brother Zhuge, so now I've swallowed my pride and invited Master Zuo and his apprentice here."
"If you have something to say, ask it now. Stop acting like a little girl!"
"Yes... Master..."
Zhang Zhiwei nodded with a pitiful expression.
Then, under the curious gazes of Zuo Ruotong and Zhuge Yan, Zhang Zhiwei slowly stood up.
He took a deep breath and slowly asked Zhuge Yan:
"Young Brother Zhuge, I would like to ask you something."
"What is it? Please speak freely, Senior Brother Zhang."
"Were you hiding your true strength from the very beginning of today's competition?"
"Yes."
Zhuge Yan nodded.
Why?
"When I watched Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Lu's competition, I witnessed your Golden Light Mantra."
From that moment on, I knew that if we were to face each other head-on, I would definitely not be a match for you, Senior Brother Zhang.
Therefore, to defeat you in the upcoming competition, I must resort to unconventional methods.
"So, from the very beginning you deliberately feigned weakness, then used the cover of esoteric magic to secretly set traps?"
"Yes."
"But what if I don't fall for the trap? For example, what if I don't step into the trap exactly as you expect?"
"If that's the case, then all your previous efforts will have been in vain, won't they?"
Faced with Zhang Zhiwei's questioning, Zhuge Yan simply smiled and shook his head.
No, it won't.
"No way? What do you mean?"
"Because you, Senior Brother Zhang, will definitely fall into the trap I've set."
Why?
A look of confusion flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.
"First of all, as a senior disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Senior Brother Zhang should naturally know that what we sorcerers are best at is to determine directions, find good and bad fortune, and seek advantage and avoid harm."
What few people know is that we not only determine our own positions, but also use various methods during battle to constantly lure the enemy into positions we desire.
"So you were intentionally trying to lure me in during our fight?"
"Yes."
A knowing glint flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.
This fighting style was something he had never known before.
He originally thought that the battle would be nothing more than a straightforward one, like the one he fought with Lu Jin.
Your cultivation is inferior to mine, very well, then you have no chance of defeating me.
Even if it's just for fun, I can slowly wear you down.
But fighting Zhuge Yan was different; it felt like falling into an invisible "spider web" the moment the battle began.
No matter how strong you are or how well you can resist, the "spider silk" wrapped around you will only tighten as you struggle.
By the time you realize it, it's already too late.
This feeling of frustration—having brute force but being unable to use it—was something Zhang Zhiwei had never experienced in previous battles.
However, to Zhang Zhiwei's surprise, Zhuge Yan's words had a follow-up.
"Secondly, as soon as you took your first step, Senior Brother Zhang, I had already calculated your next three steps."
Therefore, I am certain that you will fall into the trap I have set for you.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, not only Zhang Zhiwei, but even Zhang Jingqing standing to the side couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Yan again.
"What do you mean?"
"Senior Brother Zhang should know that we sorcerers can learn about the trends of things in advance by delving into the Heavenly Dao."
"And under certain special circumstances, I can see further than ordinary sorcerers."
Zhuge Yan's explanation of the existence of the mystery was extremely vague.
Just like when he first faced his master Zuo Ruotong, even though he knew the character of the two masters well, Zhuge Yan still didn't trust them.
Therefore, he naturally couldn't just tell the other party about the existence of the mystery so easily.
"Predicting the future?!"
These four words came out of Zhang Zhiwei's mouth.
No, isn't that an ability that ordinary warlocks use when "stomping noobs"?
How come you still had the energy to use this ability during your match with me?
At this moment, Zhuge Yan's image in Zhang Zhiwei's mind became increasingly unpredictable.
Could it be that this guy didn't actually use his full strength until the very end?!
hiss~
It's really hard to say!
Given Zhuge Yan's previously displayed cunning nature, he might actually have several tricks up his sleeve!
At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei felt that his previous resentment was somewhat ridiculous.
Yes, I didn't have time to use my full strength, so how can I be sure that Zhuge Yan used his full strength?
"You wretched creature, did you hear me?!"
Zhang Jingqing's words startled Zhang Zhiwei, who was deep in thought, and he suddenly jolted awake!
"I heard you, Master!"
"Are you still not convinced?"
"there is none left."
Zhang Zhiwei answered honestly.
"You keep saying you'll learn from me, but did I bring you down the mountain just so you could fight with people?"
I warned you long ago that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
We monks should hold ourselves to the standards of sainthood, but what about you?
He acts like a silly lion all day long, so arrogant and conceited that he doesn't respect anyone!
"You fought against Young Master Lu and even created a golden ball of light! Look how smug you are!!!"
"Master, your disciple knows he was wrong..."
Zhang Zhiwei slowly lowered his head and knelt down again.
Seeing her apprentice's sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, Zhang Jingqing couldn't have been happier.
He had wanted to give Zhang Zhiwei a warning for more than a year or two, but unfortunately none of the younger generation on the mountain lived up to his expectations, which made him so angry that he almost rolled up his sleeves and took matters into his own hands!
But now, after many twists and turns, I have finally achieved my wish.
At this moment, Zhang Jingqing's sense of satisfaction was in no way inferior to Zuo Ruotong's breakthrough to the third level in the future!
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Zuo Ruotong smiled and said:
"Master, it's getting late. Shall we, master and disciple, head back now?"
"Okay, Master Zuo, take care."
"Master, this junior takes his leave."
"Um."
Just as Zhuge Yan turned his head, intending to leave with his master Zuo Ruotong, Zhang Zhiwei's voice rang out again from behind him.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Brother Zhuge, one last question: why was I unable to exert any strength when you buried me under the mud?"
The earthen river cart you're using is completely different from anything I've seen from sorcerers before.
Zhuge Yan turned his head and gave Zhang Zhiwei the same "OK" gesture as Feng Baobao.
"Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."
