Chapter 89: Initial Challenge One vs. Seven
Sure enough, this was Ju Douluo Yueguan's Immortal Herb Catalog. Since it's here, there's no need to find a way to ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for it later…
Sun Yu, with an excited expression, thought to himself as he opened the ancient-looking Immortal Herb Catalog!
The Immortal Herb Catalog wasn't thick, and he could finish reading it very quickly.
After reading the Immortal Herb Catalog, Sun Yu sighed slightly.
His originally excited expression also returned to calm.
"Alas, as expected, this Immortal Herb Catalog is incomplete. The Immortal Herbs recorded on it are only a portion, and the descriptions are not detailed. I suppose the complete version is still with Chrysanthemum Douluo. It seems I'll still have to find an opportunity to ask Yue Guan for the Immortal Herb Catalog to look at…"
Thinking this, Sun Yu shook his head and then put the Immortal Herb Catalog back.
Just as Sun Yu was about to look for the next book, a soft, effeminate voice entered his ears.
"Young friend, judging by your expression, you seem very interested in the Immortal Herb Catalog I drew. What, are you also interested in those flowers and plants?"
Hearing this voice, Sun Yu was first startled, then slowly turned around.
He looked at the person who had spoken behind him.
Soon, Sun Yu saw Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, dressed in a light yellow long robe, with feminine mannerisms, standing behind him.
"It is Chrysanthemum Douluo, Your Excellency. Your student, Sun Yu, greets Your Excellency…"
Regarding Sun Yu's politeness, Yue Guan waved his hand.
"You haven't answered my question yet!"
Listening to Yue Guan's insistent questioning, Sun Yu nodded and said,
"I am a little interested, but unfortunately, this catalog is incomplete…"
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's eyes lit up, and then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke softly.
"What if I could give you a complete Immortal Herb Catalog?"
Hearing this, Sun Yu looked at Yue Guan with a surprised expression. This Immortal Herb Catalog might be useless to others, but to Yue Guan, it was his lifeblood. Unless the Supreme Pontiff ordered it, even Ghost Douluo would find it difficult to see it. He and Yue Guan were not related, so why would Yue Guan do this?!
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, Your Excellency, I cannot accept a gift without earning it. Is there something you wish to ask of me?"
Sun Yu looked at the tall Yue Guan and asked softly.
"..."
In the Soul Hall Academy Dean's office, Zhao Rui was still thinking about how to complete the Supreme Pontiff's mission.
Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's figure appeared before Zhao Rui.
"Zhao Rui, tomorrow you are to assemble a seven-person Spirit Grandmaster level team for a team battle…"
"Team battle?! For what?!"
"What else? I plan to use this team to challenge Sun Yu. Against a team of seven Spirit Grandmasters, Sun Yu will have no choice but to use his Spirit. And we can also see what the upper limit of Sun Yu's strength is…"
"What?! Chrysanthemum Douluo, Your Excellency, are you mad… No, Chrysanthemum Douluo, please reconsider! Sun Yu is from the Hall of Offerings. If those old guys from the Hall of Offerings find out, they'll skin us alive!"
Zhao Rui, hearing this, instantly spoke with a look of horror.
"It's fine. Sun Yu also agreed to this. I just made a bet with Sun Yu. As long as he can defeat a team of seven Spirit Grandmasters tomorrow, I will give him something. And if he loses, we can also report back to His Excellency the Supreme Pontiff, can't we?!"
Yue Guan waved his hand and spoke indifferently.
To complete this mission, he had even taken out his cherished complete Immortal Herb Catalog, which he had treasured for many years, as a wager.
Zhao Rui looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose mind was made up, and his expression became incredibly dazed.
What kind of situation is this…
One against seven, is this kid Sun Yu that confident?!
He dares to accept such an absurd bet?!
Is he not afraid of losing face for the Hall of Offerings if he loses?
After all, this wasn't someone else coming to provoke him, but Sun Yu's own choice!
Soon, time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Within the Great Spirit Arena specially set up by the Hall of Offerings.
Many people had already gathered here at this moment.
The matter of Soul Hall Academy Dean Zhao Rui forming a team in the morning was not deliberately concealed.
Therefore, basically, the higher-ups all knew the purpose of Zhao Rui forming the team.
And naturally, they knew that Sun Yu, for a bet with Chrysanthemum Douluo, chose to challenge a Spirit Grandmaster level team of seven.
"Xiao Yu, you are too impulsive! Why did you agree to such an absurd challenge?!"
Below the arena, Li Zhenqiu and Fire Ling'er and others looked at Sun Yu, who was preparing to fight, their faces full of helplessness.
They hadn't expected that after only a few days of not watching this kid, he would actually do such a world-shaking, ghost-crying thing.
One against seven, even people from the Clear Sky Sect, at the same level, couldn't deal with seven Spirit Master teams of the same level with their own strength!
What was Xiao Yu thinking, to be so impulsive!!
"Yes, Xiao Yu, you were a bit impulsive this time. If this matter isn't handled well, it might even lower the Ancestor's impression of you a lot!"
Li Qing also spoke from the side.
And by Li Qing's side were his father, Panlong Douluo, and his younger brother, Li Lin.
Li Lin and Li Qing had the same expression.
Panlong Douluo, however, had a calm expression and did not express any opinion on the matter.
He just quietly watched Sun Yu.
"Alright, let Xiao Yu speak for himself. Xiao Yu, one against seven, was it your own choice, or were they forcing you?"
Panlong Douluo stopped the voices of the people around him and asked Sun Yu.
As Panlong Douluo spoke,
The others present also closed their mouths one after another.
They all looked at Sun Yu.
And Sun Yu, after a long silence, finally stood up and spoke.
"Grandmaster, they did not force me. It was my own decision. As for the reason… my footwork has entered a bottleneck, so I need pressure.
Pressure that I can bear, but that is just on the verge of breaking, to help me break through this bottleneck. And today's battle might just be the critical point of pressure I can bear. I know this decision might cause problems, but I promise, I will not lose this battle…"
Listening to Sun Yu's explanation, Panlong Douluo was silent for a long time, then finally sighed heavily and said,
"Alas, so that's it. It seems I harmed you… If I had known, I shouldn't have taught you footwork so early. If I hadn't taught you footwork so early, perhaps this wouldn't have happened…"
Originally, Panlong Douluo taught Sun Yu footwork to allow Sun Yu to get an early start, so that he could create his own footwork as soon as possible in the future.
But he didn't expect that Sun Yu, in order to break through the bottleneck of his footwork as quickly as possible, actually chose such an extreme method…
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster, Teacher, Martial Uncle, Brother Qiu, Sister Ling'er, everyone… This time, I was impulsive…"
