Experience is the summary of going through certain events or even lessons.
Gufan never thought he lacked any experience before, but tonight, he saw himself clearly.
Everything his master had taken him through and everything he thought he knew, in fact, could not be considered his true personal experience. He was not a complete novice, but he was not an expert either.
If he had to say, he was only half a novice.
Whether a complete novice or half a novice, he was still a novice. Since he was a novice, he might make mistakes.
Gufan could easily follow Feng Bingbing and John, but he failed to observe, analyze, and judge that everything was under John's control. He did not even consider whether John was hiding his strength. These were major mistakes due to the lack of experience.
Otherwise, Gufan would not have waited until John lost his patience with playing with Feng Bingbing before he appeared.
After seeing everything clearly and with a brief moment of reflection, he found that Feng Bingbing had already fallen into such a desperate situation. Gufan naturally did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward.
Fortunately, he "woke up" in time; otherwise, if John had really taken Feng Bingbing away, as a fellow countryman, Gufan would have been ashamed.
Now, facing John's powerful attack, Gufan's face was calm.
In today's society, there are very few cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. There are also very few ancient martial artists at the Innate stage. Level 10 psychics are even rarer.
One could say that Gufan, at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, was already among the top ranks of individual power in this world.
As long as no old masters appeared, no one could do anything to Gufan.
And now, after carefully sensing, John's essence energy strength was only at the Sixth Level, the peak of the Earth stage, which was a significant gap from Gufan.
Dealing with him was too easy.
So, with a wave of his hand, a wind blade appeared and rushed towards John at incredible speed.
Unlike when John used his wind-type psychic ability, which caused a strong wind, Gufan's wind blade appeared silently, without even a trace of wind. It was as if the surrounding wind had completely disappeared in an instant.
This was the mark of ultimate refinement!
John was a wind-type psychic, so he was not unfamiliar with wind. He could even emit wind blades. Therefore, when he saw the wind blade appear silently and rush towards him, his face changed drastically.
From the moment Gufan appeared, John had felt a strong pressure, which made him very uneasy. This was a key reason why John chose to act decisively.
He hoped to catch the other side off guard!
For this, he used all his weapons without any reservation.
This was a dagger forged from the latest alloy material... the latest product of their country, extremely sharp. With the enhancement of essence energy, it was virtually indestructible!
But now...
He could not even touch Gufan. A single wind blade made all of John's efforts futile. He screamed in agony, spraying blood as he flew backward, unable to match Gufan at all.
Feng Bingbing was stunned.
Looking at the arm on the ground and the fallen John, her eyes were filled with shock, focused on Gufan.
Was this the person she had wanted to cause trouble with earlier? He, oh my God, his strength was so powerful. Was he a Heaven-level expert? No, he was a cultivator, and he must have surpassed the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation!
If he were in the Special Operations Bureau's Heaven Group, he would definitely be a big shot.
"Don't let him escape!" Feng Bingbing suddenly saw John trying to run and immediately pleaded with Gufan.
"Stay!" Gufan had no intention of letting John go. How dare a foreigner be so arrogant on Chinese soil? It was sheer recklessness.
A gust of wind appeared, swirling and chasing after John, who was full of wind-type essence energy.
Gufan was deliberately annoying John.
Aren't you a wind-type psychic? Now I'm using wind too. Whether it's the wind blade or the wind rope, they are all from your 'home school'! Being captured by your 'home school' must feel great, right?
John's mood was far from great. He was already in a state of collapse and deeply regretful.
He regretted being so careless, regretted having the intention to play with others, and even more, he regretted forgetting a rumor in the circle—no matter how well you do outside, once you enter China, you must be extremely cautious and careful. There are many hidden dragons and tigers there, and many experts. One wrong move, and you might encounter an expert and lose your life.
John had been to China several times and had always returned unscathed, gradually becoming complacent. This complacency had truly harmed him!
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. What had happened had happened; time could not be reversed.
The wind rope was not a spell, at least not a fully recorded spell. It was just a way Gufan used his spiritual energy based on the wind blade.
In fact, cultivation also has attributes. These attributes are called Dao Foundation in the jargon.
Some people are fire attributes, some are water attributes, and some are dark attributes... but Gufan had discovered from a young age that he could learn and use spells from all attributes freely. This was due to his special constitution. He was a先天道体, naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao, far surpassing ordinary mortals.
Gufan was sealed in terms of cultivation speed, but the other 'benefits' brought by his先天道体, such as the learning, control, and derivation of spells, were not sealed. Therefore, in the use of spells, Gufan had already reached the pinnacle.
Of course, the only thing Gufan lacked now was increasingly rich combat experience.
And this could only be accumulated through repeated battles.
"Let me go!" John, bound by the wind rope, tried to persuade: "I can give you unimaginable benefits, huge amounts of money..."
Gufan didn't even look at John. He just waved his hand, and the wind rope tightened, striking John's mind, causing him to faint.
Now he wouldn't be annoying anymore.
"Feng Bingbing?" Gufan walked to Feng Bingbing, who was barely standing, and smiled slightly.
"Gufan! Thank you for saving me!" A hint of gratitude flashed across Feng Bingbing's cold face. If Gufan hadn't appeared in time, her fate... she didn't even dare to imagine.
"I just happened to be here. You don't need to be so polite. Is it okay to hand this person over to you?" Gufan didn't want to get too involved. Saving her was fine, but asking Gufan to do more was out of the question.
"I am now..." Feng Bingbing smiled bitterly, looking at Gufan pitifully.
Gufan frowned. Feng Bingbing's insistence on saving her completely made him a bit annoyed.
But looking at Feng Bingbing's current situation, it was indeed pitiful. If someone with ill intentions came, she would have no way to resist.
"Take me to headquarters!" Feng Bingbing said softly. "Or, you can lend me your phone, I'll make a call!"
Gufan had done her a favor, so although Feng Bingbing wanted Gufan to do more, she could only ask, not force.
"Go ahead!" Gufan finally chose to let Feng Bingbing make the call. As for taking her back, he had no interest.
This wasn't because Gufan had any prejudice against the Special Operations Bureau, but because he didn't want to get involved in trouble.
Just like treating Old Mr. Wang, he had fallen into a whirlpool.
Now it seemed he had extricated himself, and Gufan didn't care about how the Wang family would change or how they would handle their family members. But the yin-type cultivator who had fought with Gufan would eventually come back to him.
The trouble hadn't disappeared and would continue to come.
Therefore, if he could avoid getting involved in such whirlpools, he would try to avoid them. Gufan just wanted to live quietly, quietly search for the jade pieces, and quietly find the path to the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation. He didn't want to touch anything unnecessary.
"Thank you!" Feng Bingbing took the phone and forced herself to dial a number. Then she spoke for a while.
"Done! Thank you." Feng Bingbing returned the phone to Gufan. This old-fashioned phone made her curious about Gufan. Was such an expert really short of money? Otherwise, why use such a phone? Smartphones were so convenient now.
"Since that's the case, let's part ways! Remember, I hope you don't reveal my information. Consider it as your repayment for my help today!" It was late at night, and Gufan still had his homework to do. He needed to get home quickly.
Feng Bingbing was about to speak but was surprised to find that Gufan had already disappeared.
"How can he do this, just leave me here? Our people haven't arrived yet!" Feng Bingbing stomped her foot, looking like she was complaining, but in fact, she was full of regret. She wanted to have a good chat with Gufan. If such a cultivator could join the Special Operations Bureau, it would be perfect.
"I saved you, and you still have so many demands!" Gufan was speechless. He hadn't really left but was hiding in the shadows. After all, if he left now, Feng Bingbing might still be in danger. Since he had saved her, he couldn't give up halfway.
"Still thinking about recruiting me into the Special Operations Bureau? How funny!" Gufan shook his head slightly. Not to mention the many restrictions of joining the Special Operations Bureau, or the many people who could control him, just the identity of the head of the Immortal Doctor Sect, how could he join the Special Operations Bureau?
If Gufan revealed his identity, he would be treated as a distinguished guest by any sect. Feng Bingbing actually wanted to recruit him? Truly, ignorance is bliss!
Soon, Gufan saw two cars speeding towards them.
Seeing Feng Bingbing's relieved smile, Gufan quietly left.
"Captain!" Feng Bingbing felt relieved when she saw the person.
Her captain had personally brought people, so she was now absolutely safe.
Then, before she could explain anything else, she fainted...
She had consumed too much energy, and pushing herself to this limit was already her maximum. The relaxation after seeing her own people made her unable to hold on any longer.
"Feng Bingbing!" The captain was shocked and checked her. Seeing that it was just excessive consumption, he was slightly relieved.
But looking at Feng Bingbing's injuries, he frowned slightly.
Seeing the unconscious John and the fallen arm, his eyes flickered.
"Take her back!" However, with Feng Bingbing unconscious, there was no point in asking her anything now. He waved his hand and ordered the team to retreat.
