Chapter 164 - 0164 Half-step Innate
"Once?"
Chu Ge quickly noticed the issue in Zhao Wuji’s words.
"Indeed." Zhao Wuji nodded, a trace of regret showing on his face: "They say that Elder Shi was once an Innate Grandmaster, but was nearly killed by someone. On the brink of death he was saved by the Sect Leader of the Vajra Sect and since then has served as a priest in the sect. Even though his life was saved, his realm fell from Innate, and now he can only be considered as Half-step Innate. Moreover, there is no hope for him to enter the Innate realm again in this lifetime."
"Half-step Innate, cut off from advancement?" Chu Ge murmured in agreement: "Indeed, that is truly regrettable."
"Uh... is that what you wanted to say?" Zhao Wuji was stunned, seemingly a bit anxious: "Although Elder Shi is now Half-step Innate, he once spent some time in the realm of a Grandmaster. He probably could be considered invincible below Grandmasters. How will you deal with the duel a month from now?"
This young man in front of him was definitely not a Grandmaster, this was something that Zheng Lihong had also mentioned before. Although his True Qi was profound and unmatched, he had not yet managed to channel it through all the meridians in his body.
So in Zhao Wuji’s eyes, although Chu Ge was strong, he was undoubtedly going to lose the duel a month later! The only difference lies in whether he could keep his own life.
"Do you think I will die in battle?" Chu Ge placed his teacup on the table, looking at Zhao Wuji with a smile that wasn’t really a smile.
"It’s not what I think," Zhao Wuji sighed, speaking frankly: "It’s that the entire Magic City Martial Arts World doesn’t think you stand a chance!"
After hearing this, Chu Ge didn’t react much. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up from the sofa, slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his right hand, palm down, and made a fist.
