Chapter 73: Yue Longsha

As the interrogation continued, the atmosphere became significantly less tense.

Upon discovering that the she was not randomly harming others for her own benefit, he gave up on many of the ideas that he had previously.

For him to rob a thief depended on the opponent actually being a thief. He felt uncomfortable doing so now that he knew her motives.

Of course, there were still a few other things that Su Chen temporarily could not let go.

He asked, “What is your name?”

The white-clothed young maiden replied, “Yue Longsha. What about you?”

Upon hearing this name, Su Chen was taken aback. “Yue Longsha? So you’re Yue Longsha?”

“You know me?”

“You have such a high ranking on the Hundred Refinements Pavilion list. How could I not know of you? No wonder you are so powerful. I was the one that ambushed you, but you almost defeated me.”

During their battle within the Cave Giant’s lair, Yue Longsha’s attacks had been precise and powerful, and she could adapt to situations very well. Su Chen’s attacks were hurried and flustered as a result, and to say that he had almost been defeated was the truth.

But upon discovering that his opponent was Yue Longsha, Su Chen was no longer surprised by her strength. After all, she was someone who was only slightly weaker than Ji Hanyan.

“But I was still the one that lost in the end,” Yue Longsha replied somewhat gloomily. “What tactic did you use to beat me? How come I didn’t see your attack?”

“It was this.” Su Chen pulled out a Thunderfire Ball and showed it to her.

After explaining how it was used, understanding dawned on Yue Longsha’s face.

When he had activated Whitetower Teleportation, he had surreptitiously tossed out a Thunderfire Ball as he attacked.

However, the Thunderfire Ball had been tossed behind her, and it was set to explode on a delay. Thus, Yue Longsha did not see it coming at all, resulting in a successful ambush.

Although her Moonlight Concealment was very powerful, her defensive capabilities when outside of that state were very poor. In addition, she was already wounded, so naturally she was unable to withstand this blow.

Once she understood why she had lost, Yue Longsha’s mood improved greatly. “So it’s not that I am less skilled than you, just that you are more underhanded than I am.”

“……”

To Su Chen, winning was winning and losing was losing. There was no point in making such excuses.

On the battlefield, any tactic that ensured survival was a good one.

In addition, he had spent a lot of time and energy developing the Thunderfire Ball, so it should at least be considered part of his strength.

However, he had no interest in bickering with her about this.

Yue Longsha asked, “What is your name?”

“Su Chen.”

“So you’re Su Chen, huh?”

“You know my name?”

“The genius without a bloodline who reached the top five of the Three Mountains Region exam, but disappeared without a trace after entering the Hidden Dragon Institute, never to reappear. The fallen star who didn’t even attend the end-of-year competitions.”

Su Chen rubbed his chin. “Is that the kind of impression I’ve left on others?”
