Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: Chapter 670: My God (Part 2)

"Boom!"

A suffocating sense of oppression erupted from his seemingly weak body.

In that instant, Gu Sheng seemed to shed his mortal shell. Spiritual Power surged around him, his aura so fierce that even the Protective Array around the arena showed fine cracks.

"T-this... this is..."

Ke Yucheng’s pupils shrank violently, and the Spirit Sword in his hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

He felt as if what he was facing was not a human, but an awakened ancient Fierce Beast.

Golden light flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth hooked into a cold smile.

"Ah!"

Ke Yucheng suddenly let out a miserable scream. The Spiritual Power in his body ran wild out of control, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing through his meridians.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the black Spiritual Power on his Spirit Sword collapsed in an instant.

"Bang!"

The examiner arrived just in time. With a palm strike to Ke Yucheng’s chest, he blasted him straight into the arena floor, smashing out a pit over three meters deep.

"Gu Sheng, are you alright?"

The examiner turned his head and asked with concern, while his gaze swept warily around.

That sudden surge of pressure just now had startled even him.

Gu Sheng slowly stood up, his aura already back to normal, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

He coughed lightly twice and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you for your concern, examiner. It’s just some superficial wounds. A few days’ rest and I’ll be fine."

The examiner gave Gu Sheng a long, deep look, then turned toward Ke Yucheng in the pit, anger burning even hotter in his eyes.

"Ke Yucheng! You actually dared to go for the kill during the assessment. Later, report to the Dragon Suppression Hall and receive your punishment!"

"The Dragon Suppression Hall?!"

The crowd below the stage drew in a sharp breath. That was the place where even Sect elders would lose a layer of skin if they made a mistake.

In the pit, Ke Yucheng struggled to his feet, his face deathly pale.

Still shaken, he looked toward Gu Sheng, the terror from that moment lingering in his heart.

What made him feel even more aggrieved was that he had failed to land the blow, yet still had to go to that terrifying Dragon Suppression Hall.

"Lord examiner, I..."

Ke Yucheng tried to explain.

"Silence!"

The examiner snapped coldly.

"If Gu Sheng were not blessed with great fortune and a tough life, he’d already be a corpse by now!"

Ke Yucheng gritted his teeth and lowered his head, but his eyes were filled with venom.

The examiner frowned and looked at Gu Sheng.

"What happened just now? Why did Ke Yucheng suddenly stop?"

Gu Sheng looked completely confused.

"This disciple is not sure either. Perhaps Senior Brother Ke was suddenly struck by conscience?"

The examiner clearly did not believe that explanation, but seeing that Gu Sheng was unwilling to say more, he did not press the issue.

"Go rest first. The Sect will give you an explanation for this matter."

Gu Sheng cupped his fists in thanks and walked slowly down from the arena.

His steps looked unsteady, yet in truth each one secretly matched a certain mysterious rhythm.

If an Array Master were present, they would be shocked to discover that wherever he passed, the damaged arena Array was actually repairing itself!

"Gu Sheng!"

Wang Yun was the first to rush forward and support him.

"How are you? Are your injuries serious?"

"It’s nothing."

Gu Sheng smiled faintly.

"Only the wound on my left arm is a bit deep. I’ll need a few days to recuperate."

Liang Yu squeezed his way over, his face full of curiosity.

"Gu, what grudge do you and Ke Yucheng have exactly? Why would he go at you with such a deadly hand?"

A chill flashed through Gu Sheng’s eyes, gone in an instant.

"Maybe he’s jealous that I’m more handsome than he is?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere eased somewhat.

Only Ling Xiao stood to the side, his gaze complicated as he looked at Gu Sheng.

As Gu Sheng’s friend, he understood better than others what kind of power this seemingly gentle youth was hiding.

Gu Sheng went to a corner, sat down cross-legged, and began circulating his energy to heal.

The wound on his left arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, a scene that left several examiners secretly observing him exchanging looks.

"This boy... is not simple."

An old examiner with white whiskers said in a low voice.

"That aura just now..."

Another female examiner’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Is definitely not something an ordinary Disciple could possess."
