Zhao Caier was stunned for a moment by Chen Yu's words.

Her short, shoulder-length brown hair swayed gently in the breeze.

She raised her head in astonishment and looked at Chen Yu.

"Beat her?"

"Yes, of course I will defeat her."

Chen Yu said this.

Zhao Caier subconsciously glanced at Gao Lan opposite.

Gao Lan also looked over.

His eyes were cold and arrogant, exuding a heart-stopping coldness.

Zhao Caier's heart trembled.

"I-can I?"

"Nonsense, of course you can, otherwise how could I let you come out and fight her?"

"..."

Zhao Caier stopped talking.

She thought that Chen Yu asked her to come out to fight Gao Lan just on a whim, not because he thought she could beat Gao Lan.

After all...she is only a half-step innate martial artist, while Gao Lan is a true innate martial artist.

The difference between nature and nurture is a world of difference.

The gap in between is too big to be bridged.

Thinking of this, Zhao Caier's face turned darker.

Chen Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, and reached out to pat her shoulder again.

"Okay, okay, you can do it."

"..."

"Don't forget that all your powers have been sealed, and you can only use the Sunlight Magic Technique, not other techniques. In other words - you are standing on the same starting line."

Zhao Caier smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, I can't compare with her in terms of combat experience and momentum."

After all, she is just a slightly talented warrior.

And Gao Lan is one of the "Ten Elites".

The gap between the two is as huge as the gap in their realms.

"Tsk."

Chen Yu smacked his tongue, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhao Caier on the back of the head.

There was a "pop" sound.

The sound is a little crisp.

Zhao Caier stumbled and was almost knocked to the ground.

She finally stood upright and quickly covered the back of her head, staring at Chen Yu with tears in her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"Hit you."

Chen Yu answered very calmly.

"Why hit me?"

"Because I feel very unhappy with you."

"..."

The corners of Zhao Caier's mouth twitched slightly.

What is this reason?

Can you just hit someone if you don't like them?

Moreover - I am obviously very well-behaved, how could I provoke this moody guy?

When she was thinking this, Chen Yu spoke.

"I feel very unhappy when you look so dejected and so timid before fighting. Do you understand?"

"..."

"We haven't even fought yet, so you should give up first. People like you are not suitable for practicing martial arts at all. I think you should go home and farm."

"What did you say?"

Zhao Caier was angry.

Although she is not as good as the top ten, her talent is pretty good, otherwise she would not have been able to achieve even half a step of innateness at such an age.

Growing up, no one ever said that she was not suitable for cultivation.

On the contrary, friends around her, teachers at the college, and unrelated passers-by all praised her as a little genius.

She thought so too.

And devoted all her energy to martial arts. Even if there were boys chasing her, she would ignore them and concentrate on practicing.

It is precisely because of her spirit that she was chosen to participate in the trial practice of the Sunlight Magic Technique.

For her, martial arts is a very important thing, and it is everything in life.

But now——

Chen Yu bluntly said that she was not suitable for practicing martial arts and asked her to go back to farming.

How could she not be angry?

Although she did not dare to be too rude due to Chen Yu's strength and identity, she still opened her eyes wide, stared at Chen Yu, and shouted angrily:

"Where am I not suitable for practicing martial arts?"

Chen Yu still said with a calm expression: "For a warrior, cultivation is second, and the heart of martial arts is the key. What is the heart of martial arts? The heart of pursuing the truth through martial arts! Tenacity, courage, unyielding, perseverance... Go ahead despite difficulties, and be fearless.

Hardships, only by overcoming the ups and downs can you reach the top..."

"I know everything you said!"

Zhao Caier interrupted him impatiently.

Chen Yu asked back: "Since you know, why do you still back down?"

"..."

Zhao Caier fell silent.

Chen Yu asked again: "Do you know why a trash-looking woman like Gao Lan has already reached the innate realm, but you are still stuck in the half-step innate realm?"

Chen Yu's voice was loud, without any suppression or concealment, and everyone in the open space could hear him clearly.

Including Gao Lan.

So she immediately frowned and roared angrily:

"Hey - who are you calling trash and stinky?"

But Chen Yu ignored her and continued to look at Zhao Caier.

Zhao Caier pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yu, her eyes filled with mist. She obviously also wanted to know the answer.

To be honest, Gao Lan's image disappointed her.

She originally thought that the "Top Ten" were very arrogant beings, aloof, cold and arrogant, with genius demeanor and peerless talent.

But after these two days of observation, she was disappointed.

Especially Gao Lan.

That image doesn't look like a peerless genius at all.

Moreover, his qualifications don’t look very good, and his performance during practice is average.

Zhao Caier felt that she was worse than herself.

But why?

Why is Gao Lan already an innate martial artist, but she herself is still an acquired talent?

Why is this?

She wanted to know the answer.

So she stared straight at Chen Yu, hoping that Chen Yu could tell her.

Chen Yu smiled and said directly: "It's very simple, because of Wu Xin."
