Even Teng Min himself was unaware of when he had fallen into the heavy encirclement of Gu Ping and the Light Cutting Technique. At that moment, both were engaged in a fierce dance, and if either made a mistake, it would take them back to the beginning of their contest.
When did he start laying his plans?
That question echoed in everyone's mind, as no one thought there was anything wrong with Gu Ping being caught in Tenglan, known as Zhongshang's Cold Ice Great Array. Even Teng Min believed that his sword formation had Gu Ping trapped and that it should be an easy task. But everyone was mistaken.
When two evenly matched cultivators were fighting, if one side launched an attack, would the other simply stand still? Clearly, that was not the case. So when Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, was condensing the Cold Ice Great Array, Gu Ping chose not to forcefully break through and interrupt Tenglan's offensive. Instead, he opted to quietly conceal himself in places where ordinary people would not notice.
Under normal circumstances, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang should have quickly detected the presence of those lights. However, due to the immense mental strain required to condense the Cold Ice Great Array, Tenglan remained completely oblivious and fell into Gu Ping's trap, bringing their battle back down to earth.
The fight continued; this time it was no longer a clash of brute force but a test of willpower and endurance. Whoever lost patience first would find themselves at a disadvantage and might even face defeat.
Bu Luo's fighters had their strengths and weaknesses. Gu Ping possessed an extraordinary level of patience and willpower, honed through his experiences with the Light Path Classic. That calmness and resilience had seeped deep into Gu Ping's bones; even when faced with thrilling situations, he could maintain his composure. The saying "the mountain may crumble before him without causing alarm" could not be more fitting.
On the other hand, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang held the initiative in this battle. Clearly, he was more adept at controlling the Cold Ice Great Array with greater finesse. The variations he employed were far more numerous than those of Gu Ping's Light Cutting Technique, which forced Gu Ping to expend even more mental energy with each dodge.
For everyone watching, it seemed that Tenglan had the upper hand. His mastery of the Light Cutting Technique allowed him to maneuver effortlessly; its chaotic slicing was incredibly difficult to evade. Every time Gu Ping struggled to avoid the icy blades, Tenglan could simultaneously evade Gu Ping's Light Cutting Technique while making subtle adjustments to the Cold Ice Great Array, putting Gu Ping in an even more precarious position.
The elders in the viewing platform believed that Gu Ping had made a grave mistake by choosing to compete in formations where his skills were inferior to Tenglan's. They thought it was akin to striking a stone with an egg, essentially handing victory over to Tenglan. In their view, a more prudent choice would have been to launch a surprise attack before the Cold Ice Great Array fully formed, leveraging his close combat advantage against Tenglan.
But could that truly work? When he had just been forced back by Tenglan, Gu Ping realized that engaging in close combat would likely not apply effective pressure on Tenglan; instead, it would lead him right into Tenglan's trap. His experiences from countless battles against ferocious beasts taught him that relying on a single survival method was unwise; mastering multiple survival techniques was essential for thriving in this chaotic world.
This was the path Gu Ping chose to tread. He was always learning—never pausing for a moment. Even if a mere mortal could solve problems with a simple fire-starting technique while a cultivator struggled with it, Gu Ping firmly held onto his own methods.
After the incident with Light Path Classic, Gu Ping felt a severe lack of crisis awareness in that world, which kept him in a constant state of tension. Even at this moment, he was observing and learning, having already paid the price for underestimating Tenglan, known as Zhongshang.
Perhaps before that, people had seen Gu Ping's talent in cultivation. The incident with Cigarette Paper once again showcased Gu Ping's insight and innate ability—an observational skill and comprehension that ordinary people could not possess. This allowed Gu Ping to incorporate the Cold Ice Great Array into his Light Cutting Technique.
What was once easily dodged by the Light Cutting Technique now had an increasing number of variations. This made Tenglan's expression grow more serious. When he realized that the trajectory of the Rolling Light Cutting Technique was identical to that of the Cold Ice Great Array, Tenglan's astonishment reached its peak. Such talent could no longer be described merely as terrifying.
Teng Min acknowledged that he was not a genius; everyone else also thought Tenglan was not a genius. However, compared to Gu Ping, who was currently evading the Cold Ice Great Array, what did that matter? He did not believe that at ten years old he could compete with a Peak of Nascent Soul cultivator. That level of combat power was no wonder those mediocre Elders felt fear. At this moment, even Tenglan felt a hint of jealousy.
Suddenly, Tenglan took the initiative to strike. He could no longer afford to give Gu Ping any more opportunities to learn; that Junior Brother was growing too quickly and had completely exceeded his expectations. If he continued to waste time like this, defeat was inevitable for him against that Junior Brother.
A flurry of icy blades shattered in the air, and the immense impact instantly destroyed the Arena. Other disciples in the surrounding Arenas scattered in fear of being caught in such overwhelming power. The area was enveloped in chilling ice crystals, obscuring visibility and making it difficult to see what was happening inside.
