Sun Shanhai was engaging with Xu Fengqiu for the first time.
In truth, he did have some apprehension and respect for Xu Fengqiu.
However, Xu Fengqiu was several years younger than his son.
To hear him point out so many shortcomings of his son made this father, who was proud of his son, feel somewhat displeased.
Xu Fengqiu then said blandly, “The gap in movement techniques is too large; a Celestial Emperor Stage Four’s movement technique is inferior to a Celestial Emperor Stage One’s.”
Sun Shanhai frowned deeply.
Xu Fengqiu continued, “The foundation is unstable, with too much pursuit of realm advancement.”
“The sword technique is strong, but it does not meet the requirements of the Celestial Emperor realm.”
“Insufficient power.”
Xu Fengqiu rattled off a long list.
Sun Shanhai began to doubt.
Was his son really that bad?
He was quite satisfied with him!
Looking at the entire Nine Provinces, his son was a top talent in his age group.
Sun Shanhai watched the scene on the battlefield and said blandly, “Lord Wind Emperor’s standards seem a bit too high.”
Xu Fengqiu said, “What this Emperor is comparing him to are top-tier powerhouses.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Shanhai felt even more displeased.
What?
Wasn't his son a top-tier powerhouse among the top geniuses of this age group?
This Xu Fengqiu was also a show-off.
The so-called top-tier powerhouses he spoke of, wouldn't he be comparing them to himself?
Subsequently, Sun Shanhai said somewhat unhappily, “Not everyone is Lord Wind Emperor.”
Xu Fengqiu said, “Compared to the many Celestial Emperor realm geniuses this Emperor has seen, there are indeed many shortcomings. Sect Master Sun should pay close attention to Sun Wuji's cultivation.”
“Heh heh heh, yes, but Lord Wind Emperor should also be able to see that my son, at Celestial Emperor Stage Four, is fighting a Celestial Emperor Stage One. Although the battle hasn't ended, my son hasn't used his true strength. If he wanted to, he could end the battle in an instant.”
Sun Shanhai said.
Xu Fengqiu shook his head.
Sun Shanhai frowned.
What did that mean?
Did this Xu Fengqiu think that his son, at Celestial Emperor Stage Four fighting a Celestial Emperor Stage One, couldn't easily win if he wanted to?
The elders and other experts of the Five Elements Sect around them were also stunned.
Really?
Xu Fengqiu then said, “He probably won’t win.”
Sun Shanhai: ? ? ?
He was completely taken aback.
“Lord Wind Emperor, do you mean… my son will lose to this Chu Ran?”
Xu Fengqiu nodded.
It wasn't just because it was Chu Ran.
Even if Chu Ran were replaced by another more powerful top genius, a top genius with Celestial Emperor Stage Two, they should be able to defeat this Sun Wuji.
This Sun Wuji, he was indeed strong, indeed outstanding.
But the gap between him and a true top powerhouse was still very large.
Compared to Ye Lingyou and Luo Liuli, even if his realm was higher, the gap was still quite significant.
This wasn't the Five Elements Sect's problem.
It was his own problem.
“Hahahaha.”
Sun Shanhai couldn't help but laugh.
Of course, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous or mocking with his laughter.
After all, he was still wary of Xu Fengqiu and the Myriad Ancient First Divine Sect behind him.
But in his heart, he found it very laughable.
What?
This Xu Fengqiu believed that his son would lose to this Chu Ran?
Chu Ran was indeed very powerful.
He had gained fame at a young age.
He had fought his way up from the lower realms to the Nine Heavens.
Even before Chu Ran came to the Nine Heavens, he had heard of Chu Ran's name.
He was quite happy that Chu Ran could join his Five Elements Sect.
But no matter what, he valued his son more.
Chu Ran was powerful, yes.
But not everyone was Xu Fengqiu.
For a Celestial Emperor to defeat his son Sun Wuji by crossing three stages?
He still felt it was impossible.
“Then this Sect Master is quite eager to see just how this Chu Ran will defeat my son.”
Inside the battlefield.
As the fight went on, Sun Wuji began to feel that something was wrong.
Sun Wuji gradually felt that he was facing a difficult opponent.
He felt that although the power released by Chu Ran in front of him was about the same as before, and he hadn't released any more power, it was just getting harder and harder to fight.
As for Chu Ran.
His initial battle with Sun Wuji was actually just him testing Sun Wuji's strength.
And now, he had basically finished testing.
So, now was the time for Chu Ran to exert his strength.
Outside.
Sun Shanhai watched the battle inside the secret realm, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
What was going on?
Why was his son starting to struggle?
It didn't feel like Chu Ran had increased his strength.
Moreover, as a powerhouse, he could actually see how strong Chu Ran's power was in all aspects.
It wasn't that his son was too weak.
It was that this Chu Ran was too strong.
But, he couldn't lose, right?
Xu Fengqiu watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.
There was nothing wrong with Chu Ran's fighting style.
After all, the realm gap was too large.
And in order to end the battle while ensuring that he didn't reveal his trump cards as much as possible, he had to find another way.
Chu Ran was very clear about the gap between Sun Wuji and himself.
He far surpassed Sun Wuji in every aspect.
And these aspects could make up for part of the realm gap.
When Chu Ran understood every move and stance of Sun Wuji, then Chu Ran could find Sun Wuji's flaws and defeat him with these advantages.
Whoosh—
Chu Ran suddenly reversed the offensive and began to suppress Sun Wuji everywhere.
Every move and stance was extremely fierce, leaving Sun Wuji with no power to resist.
They could see that if Sun Wuji's realm was lower, he would probably have already lost.
Because Chu Ran's every move, every sword strike, and even every movement technique was restraining Sun Wuji.
It was as if he knew what Sun Wuji was going to do next, even predicting it in advance.
He had completely grasped Sun Wuji's weaknesses.
If it weren't for Sun Wuji's higher realm and stronger power, he would have already lost.
“How could this be?”
Sun Wuji revealed an expression of disbelief.
Why was he facing Chu Ran with such difficulty?
Why did Chu Ran seem to know his weaknesses, and Chu Ran seemed to be able to predict his every move and stance?
“Damn it!”
Sun Wuji gritted his teeth, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
And Sun Shanhai's expression outside became solemn.
He clearly saw the gap between the two in all aspects.
He couldn't see it very clearly before, because Chu Ran was testing Sun Wuji.
Now that the testing was over and Chu Ran had launched an offensive, everything became very obvious.
Moreover, Sun Shanhai could see that Chu Ran still had many trump cards that he hadn't used.
So many trump cards hadn't been used, and yet he could still suppress his son…
Sun Shanhai felt a little pressured.
He glanced at Xu Fengqiu next to him.
Why was Xu Fengqiu's vision so sharp?
Why could he see these things?
Those who didn't know would think that Xu Fengqiu in front of them was some top powerhouse.
