Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 541: Grandmaster
"Why do they say that the God-Shocking Whip in Jiang Ruolin’s hand is a limited edition?"
Because the forging techniques around the world have been lost, making it extremely difficult for any Forging Stone to create a Magical Treasure beyond the level of a Spiritual Treasure, let alone an Ancient Treasure level Magical Treasure.
The God-Shocking Whip is the only successful Ancient Treasure level Magical Treasure that Gu He had crafted with numerous materials and efforts in order to break through and prove himself.
For this Magical Treasure, their guild consumed quite a few resources, and it was successfully forged after hundreds of failed attempts.
It has already proven Gu He’s extreme mastery beyond the conventional scope of forging techniques.
It can be said that aside from him, no other orthodox Forging Master in the world can forge a second Ancient Treasure level Magical Treasure.
They can only venture into the Original World, braving dangers to pick up Magical Treasures in dungeons, but there will be no Magical Treasures with the same shape and characteristics as the God-Shocking Whip.
So Gu He was very certain that this weapon was the one the Grandmaster had taken away.
Jiang Ruolin was prepared to be eliminated by Gu He in the first round; after all, even though she was in the Late-stage Core Formation, and had the addition of the First Layer of the Emperor Jun Technique, plus an Ancient Treasure of First-grade as an extreme weapon that could be used out of class during Core Formation, you still have no chance of fighting against these great forces who have descended.
Don’t look at them being in the Middle-stage of Core Formation. Although they can’t use many high-dimensional Laws, they have truly mastered peak Secret Techniques.
Even if you’ve learned Emperor Level Secret Techniques, you’re only at the First Layer.
It’s the equivalent of having only a +1 to your skill points.
Though their Secret Techniques may not be of high rank and their single damage values are not as high as yours, they’ve mastered them to Great Perfection, equivalent to a skill level of +10 or more.
Even if they don’t grow as much in single value as you do, their total damage value, added by 10+ in their Secret Techniques, is something you can’t compare with.
This is why you wouldn’t stand a chance against the likes of Gu He, from the Eleventh Layer Heaven, and even less so against those of the Emperor Level, who not only practiced Emperor Level Secret Techniques but also had +20 skill points. You stand even less of a chance.
This is also why the bigwigs from great families also descend to fight in the National War.
Although the power of the Mirror Realm and the Laws is restricted, the damage caused by their Secret Techniques is not something that the local natives can contend with.
Even if they are only in the Mid Period, they can still utterly defeat you in the Late Period!
When Jiang Ruolin resigned herself to being unlucky and prepared to be eliminated, she didn’t expect her opponent to say something like this.
She honestly blurted out, "It was given to me by my husband."
"Your husband?" Gu He was taken aback.
Could it be that the Grandmaster gave this weapon to this woman’s husband?
He asked, "What’s his name?"
Jiang Ruolin: "Gu Feng."
"What did you say?" Gu He’s eyes widened.
If this woman had stolen this weapon from the Grandmaster, that would definitely be impossible; only the Grandmaster himself giving it away could explain it, as it would be impossible to take anything from his hands.
"Are you sure your husband is Gu Feng?"
Jiang Ruolin got angry, feeling as if this old man’s insinuation was that she wasn’t good enough for her husband.
"Old fart, if you want to kill then kill, what’s with all this nonsense?"
She herself also felt that she wasn’t worthy of Gu Feng.
But for an outsider to give her a straight answer, was that it, with a side of revulsion thrown in?
Gu Feng looking down on her she could bear, but not outsiders, she absolutely did not allow anyone to denigrate or tease her relationship with Gu Feng!
Jiang Ruolin decided she couldn’t stand it and lashed out with her whip on the spot.
Gu He subconsciously dodged Jiang Ruolin’s attack.
Just then, Gu He’s old friend, who was also a fellow warrior from his country, passed by and mocked, "Gu Manzi, you’re taking so much time for a native in the Late-stage Core Formation? Just finish it quickly, let’s go find the main force."
Gu He let out a bitter smile.
"I wouldn’t dare."
This is the woman of the Grandmaster.
Gu He hurried to address Jiang Ruolin, "Grandmaster, do not be impulsive. It’s all a misunderstanding."
"Who are you calling Grandmaster? I’m only eighteen this year," Jiang Ruolin retorted, her eyebrows raised.
"Your husband, Gu Feng, is my Grandmaster!" Gu He explained with a bitter smile, "So here’s the thing, if I lay a hand on you, I’ll get in trouble if the Grandmaster blames me later. If you want to earn points, go ahead, I’ll do my best to protect you at your side."
Jiang Ruolin wore a face full of question marks.
But the clever girl quickly realized something, secretly thrilled: This guy is up in years, must be an old fellow who’s lived for thousands of years. When he says Grandmaster Gu Feng, it certainly can’t be her own husband Gu Feng! Because someone like him calling someone else Grandmaster, that must be the Taoist Ancestor ’Gu Feng’!
"Are you sure?" Jiang Ruolin asked tentatively.
Gu He brought over a cultivator from their nation like one would carry a chicken.
"Grandmaster, you come here."
Could it be such good luck?
Jiang Ruolin sent the Early-stage Core Formation enemy cultivator off with a whip.
Immediately, a +1 points appeared above her head.
These were points that could be exchanged for Spirit Stones.
Gu He, covering for her, said, "Grandmaster, I’ll guard against the cultivators who pose a threat to you; you try and find enemy cultivators of the same period to earn points more quickly."
Jiang Ruolin held back her laughter and aimed to score as many points as she could.
"Gu Manzi, what’s with this foolishness of yours, Sixth Son? Are you ****ed up in the head or something?"
Seeing Gu He’s befuddling behavior, a core family member, also descended, and equally powerful, flew over aiming to take down Jiang Ruolin.
But Gu He’s weapon blocked this long-distance attack.
Everyone was stunned.
The next second, Gu He used a rope magical treasure with binding power on the elder, giving it a tug while shouting to Jiang Ruolin, "Grandmaster, quickly make your move, this person has a lot of points."
"For crying out loud, Gu Manzi, you..."
Before the man could finish his curse, he was dispatched by a lash from Jiang Ruolin.
+15 points.
Jiang Ruolin was having a blast harvesting points.
Anyway, for Gu He, they couldn’t win the battle against Dragon Nation, so they could only hope to earn more points to exchange for Spirit Stones.
If that was the case, why not make the Grandmaster happy?
In the end, Jiang Ruolin safely made it through the first round without being eliminated. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
After the first battle ended, she returned to her residence, and upon seeing Gu Feng, she couldn’t hold back her laughter, shaking like willow branches in the wind, "Dear, let me tell you about something funny that happened today."
"There was this old guy, super strong, had me surrounded in the first round. He could have finished me off instantly, but when he heard my husband’s name was Gu Feng, guess what?"
Gu Feng gave her a curious look, full of emotional investment, though he knew what had transpired.
But he was wondering if Jiang Ruolin had figured out through this incident that he was the Taoist Ancestor?
As he waited for Jiang Ruolin to reveal the answer, she said, "Turns out, he mistook you for the Taoist Ancestor and started calling you Grandmaster, calling me Grandmaster, and protected me the entire time from the attacks of high-level cultivators. Then, he pulled the low-level minions for me. For the first time in my life, I scored over 300 points in my first National War! Hahahaha."
She laughed so hard that she was leaning back, "And you know what, having the same name as a Taoist Ancestor turned out to be useful for once. Such a blast; it really fooled someone."
Gu Feng: "..."
