Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win the battle.

Zhang Wenbin was one of the three strongest among the younger generation of the inner sect. Fang Yuan still showed full respect for him and began to ask Wan Qian for more detailed information.

“I haven’t fought with him before, and I’m not sure about the specifics.”

Wan Qian said softly, “Actually, Zhang Wenbin is probably the strongest in this generation of disciples. I shouldn’t be able to last more than five moves against him.”

Fang Yuan nodded. Wan Qian was unable to break through because of the cold poison. With her Foundation Establishment Stage strength, she would definitely not have the slightest chance of winning against someone at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

With his current strength, if Wan Qian were to fight against him again, he reckoned that she would lose in one move.

Even so, she was still hailed as one of the three strongest. It could be seen just how powerful Wan Qian’s talent and strength were.

However, this could not be used as a standard to measure the difference in strength between Zhang Wenbin and him.

After all, the abilities he possessed were too powerful. Whether it was Bloodthirsty or his liquid spiritual essence, they were all skills that greatly increased the lethality of his attacks.

Under the suppression of his cultivation realm, Wan Qian could not withstand it.

However, for Zhang Wenbin, who was in a higher cultivation realm, there was no way those skills alone could play a decisive role.

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and made a request.

“Senior, wait for me to nourish my Yang essence, and I’ll come to you for dual cultivation?”

The frost on Wan Qian’s face instantly melted and was covered by a blush.

“What… what are you talking about… It’s already so late, why are you still thinking about this…”

“Do you still remember the purple Qi that I showed you before? I found some information about it. It can let Gu worms enter a state of epiphany. During this period of time, if you want to quickly increase your strength, you’ll have to rely on it.”

Fang Yuan explained, “And didn’t you give me a dual cultivation method book? I cannot waste it.”

“Then… then why are you looking for me, aren’t others the same…”

Wan Qian replied uneasily. These words were too easy for people to imagine.

“Senior, you have the cold poison, how are you the same as others?”

Fang Yuan saw Wan Qian’s expression change, and he smiled. “Besides, other than you, I don’t have any female cultivators in the Gu Immortal Sect that I can befriend.”

Wan Qian’s mouth opened slightly and slowly closed, she did not know what to say but did not say it.

“Can we?”

After waiting for a long time, Wan Qian almost tore the hem of her dress, before she replied softly.

“Mm…”

“Ah? Senior, what did you say?” Fang Yuan asked despite knowing the answer.

Wan Qian glared at him, then she stood up and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She looked at Fang Yuan’s handsome face and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she said, “When… when the time comes and I’m not willing, don’t force me…”

“Dual cultivation?”

“No…”

“Then what is it?”

It was Fang Yuan’s turn to be confused.

He was about to ask, but Wan Qian took the initiative to cover his mouth.

“Don’t ask. I… I’m leaving. You should cultivate well and don’t think too much. Don’t be distracted by other things.”

The blush on her face intensified, and she no longer looked at Fang Yuan. She turned her head and left where there was fewer people around.

Fang Yuan thought for a while and suddenly understood.

“So you’re worried about that.”

He chuckled twice, shook his head and did not think further.

He had settled things with Wan Qian for now, and the next thing to do was to go to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm to find the Sunlight Gu, then dual cultivate with Wan Qian to increase their strength, and then fight with Zhang Wenbin on the Life and Death Arena.

“I forgot to ask Senior whether Zhang Wenbin is the only son in his family.”

Fang Yuan held his chin and pondered.
