Chapter 990: The Familiar Yet Unfamiliar Person
In the small cabin, Gu Fan was circulating his Qi and breathing rhythmically. After a long period of Mo Yun’s guidance, Gu Fan had improved significantly. He now felt that the Genuin-Qi within his body was surging like rivers, overwhelming with energy.
When Gu Fan opened his eyes, his spirit and vitality had transformed as if he was a different person altogether, exuding the aura of a master.
"Congratulations, your martial arts have improved again. However, in my opinion, you’re still no match for the Female Sword Immortal," Mo Yun started with a compliment but then followed with a ruthless blow, deflating Gu Fan’s momentum: ’Please master, stop undermining my confidence.’
That’s how Mo Yun explained herself: "I’m just afraid of you becoming arrogant. I’m worried you might underestimate your opponent."
"My martial arts are so poor, what’s there for me to be arrogant about?" Gu Fan shook his head and sighed as though there was little hope left.
Knowing she had misspoken before, Mo Yun changed tack to inspire him: "Don’t lose heart. With your poor martial arts, making it to the semifinals is an achievement unparalleled in history."
"How did we get back to talking about how poor my martial arts are again?" Gu Fan was almost choked up with exasperation, while Mo Yun hastily apologized: "I’m just trying to keep you grounded."
Gu Fan waved his hand, signaling Mo Yun to stop, fearing they might actually come to blows.
Mo Yun stopped joking around, and moved on to the matter at hand: "What to do, your next opponent is the Female Sword Immortal. If you don’t get a bit sneaky, an honest fight will definitely not end in your favor."
