"Mystic Eagle Sky-breaking Claw!"
A wave of exclamations erupted from the audience below.
"It’s Senior Brother Luo’s signature move!"
"With this claw, that boy in the Heavenly Martial Realm is going to be disfigured!"
"Overestimating himself, daring to challenge Senior Brother Luo..."
Facing this fierce strike, Gu Sheng remained unmoving, until the claw wind of Luo Qian had touched his hair, he then snorted coldly.
"Flowery fists, embroidered legs."
Before the words fell, the nine Great Cave Heavens within Gu Sheng’s body simultaneously opened, the vast True Qi surged like rivers and instantly coursed through his right arm.
He didn’t use any martial technique, merely punched out simply and decisively!
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Gu Sheng dare to take it head-on, Luo Qian’s eyes grew fiercer, and he added another thirty percent strength to his claw!
"Bang!"
At the instant of punch-claw impact, a slight cracking sound echoed, Luo Qian’s face changed drastically, and he swiftly retreated several yards.
He looked down at his own right hand, the lower arm had already shown an unnatural bend, the bone actually fractured!
"This... this is impossible!"
Cold sweat broke out on Luo Qian’s forehead, staring at Gu Sheng in disbelief.
"You’re supposedly only in the Heavenly Martial Realm..."
The audience fell silent, everyone widened their eyes, as if witnessing the most absurd event... Luo Qian in the Fourth Level of Sect Realm, was actually punched and had his arm broken by Gu Sheng in First Level of Heavenly Martial Realm!
Gu Sheng shook his wrist, face expressing disdain.
"True disciples of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, is this the extent of your ability? Unable to even take a casual punch from me, yet you claim to be a prodigy?"
"You!"
Luo Qian’s face turned livid, ashamed and angry.
He clearly felt the unusual gazes from around, those junior brothers and sisters who once revered him, now had a few traces of... pity?
"I want you dead!"
Luo Qian was completely infuriated, the power of his bloodline surged madly within.
He violently tore off his shirt, revealing a dark blue pattern on his chest, that pattern squirmed like a living thing, rapidly spreading across his body.
"Ice Flame of the Dark Nether, activate!"
With a shout of rage, dark blue flames ignited around Luo Qian’s body, strangely, these flames were not hot, instead they caused the temperature of the stage to plummet.
A layer of frost swiftly formed on the ground, tiny ice crystals condensed in the air.
"It’s the Ice Flame Bloodline of the Luo family!"
Someone exclaimed from the audience.
"It’s said that once this bloodline is activated, one can fight beyond their level!"
"That kid is finished, Senior Brother Luo is serious now..."
Gu Sheng’s eyebrow slightly raised, showing a bit of surprise.
"Oh? A special bloodline? Interesting."
But he quickly shook his head.
"Unfortunately, still not enough."
"Nirvana Three Profound Changes, second transformation!"
Gu Sheng shouted lowly, within his body, the eighteen Cave Heavens simultaneously opened, and an even more vast surge of True Qi burst forth.
Even more astonishing, golden flames ignited around him, brilliant as the sun, forming a stark contrast to Luo Qian’s dark blue ice flame.
"Eigh... eighteen Cave Heavens?!"
In mid-air, two hidden figures exchanged secretly.
"Elder Bai, Luo Qian’s choice is overly cautious."
An old voice sounded, it was Supervision Elder Ye Qianqiu.
Dharma Transmission Elder Bai Wanchen slightly shook his head.
"Elder Ye is mistaken, facing an unknown opponent, caution is the best strategy."
"Haha."
Ye Qianqiu chuckled lightly.
"I see Gu Sheng as having some bluffing, but his sophistication and combat experience are indeed superior to Luo Qian."
After pausing, he continued.
"If Gu Sheng wins this battle, I would even consider taking him under my wing."
On stage, Gu Sheng suddenly made a move.
A flash of light swept across his palm, and an ancient long sword appeared out of thin air, the sword body emitting a dark blue cold light, and its hilt engraved with complex runes.
"Southern Emperor Sword!"
Someone exclaimed from the audience.
Luo Qian’s pupils suddenly contracted, his whole body muscles tensed.
Yet, before he could react, Gu Sheng’s figure had already vanished like a ghost.
"So fast!"
Luo Qian was shocked in his heart, he couldn’t fully capture Gu Sheng’s movements.
In an instant, an unprecedented sense of crisis shot from his back up to his head.
Luo Qian instinctively wanted to retreat but found himself locked in place by some kind of force, unable to move.
