This can be seen from the fact that Zhou Li repeatedly mentioned the Zhou family.

Zhou Li was really scared in his heart. The previous few rounds of bombardment seemed to be only slightly more powerful to others, but he deeply felt the abnormality of the flame in Gu Yuan's hand.

Even with his defense blessed by the Earth Bear, he was still charred by the scorching heat of the strange flames. How could Zhou Li not be shocked?

With his defensive ability, how could he not be surprised when his skin was directly destroyed?

Zhou Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Boy, who are you?"

Gu Yuan tilted his head and smiled, "Just a country bumpkin."

Zhou Li's face darkened. A country bumpkin? Then what was he?

"Your strength seems to be quite extraordinary. I admire you!" Zhou Li said lightly.

"Um?"

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and seemed to soften a little after hearing Zhou Li's words?

But immediately, Gu Yuan raised the Lingyuan heavy sword in his hand, pointed it at Zhou Li, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, today we have to decide the winner!"

The corners of Zhou Li's mouth twitched slightly. Didn't he understand what he had just said?

What I said already showed that I was softening a bit, but this guy actually wanted to decide the winner right away?

"Do you really want to make things difficult for Zhou?"

"It's not that I'm being mean to you, but you were trying to be mean to me just now. Why? The battle has already begun. How can you just say to fight and stop? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing for me?"

"you!"

Zhou Li's heart stagnated, and his face turned red. Was this guy really not going to be persuaded?

"Since you are interested, I will have no choice but to accompany you!"

"roar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Li's aura surged again, a strong blood-red light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he looked a little violent.

Team leader Mu, who was standing outside, frowned and watched the scene, feeling a little hesitant.

"Boss, the second son of the Zhou family seems to be in a bad condition. Do we need to stop him?" Someone came up and asked Team Leader Mu.

"Wait a little longer! Now even I can't see through this kid. If that idiot wants to go up, let him go. It's a good opportunity for me to see the kid's real strength. This is a little beyond my expectation." Team leader Mu said with a frown.

"So are we just going to do nothing? The second son of the Zhou family is probably using a family bloodline talent. I heard that this spiritual skill of the Zhou family is basically not used, but once it is used, most people will fight to the death! If the second son of the Zhou family really gets into trouble, won't our guard team..."

"Okay! Stop talking. When did this matter have anything to do with us?" Team leader Mu said indifferently.

"This is a private competition between the second son of the Zhou family and that kid. He asked to go up on his own initiative. No one in my guard team allowed him to go up, right?" Team leader Mu said with a smile again.

The man's eyes lit up, "Boss, you are right, boss, you are wise!"

"Alright, keep an eye on that brat and see what spiritual skills he uses. I'll go find the captain. Hehe, no matter what the result is, this matter has nothing to do with us. Even if that brat wins by chance, it's because the second son of the Zhou family took the initiative to help. We didn't let him go. In short, that brat is someone who violated the rules of our Blood Chamber of Commerce. No matter what, we can't let him go. As for the second son of the Zhou family, what does his life or death have to do with us?"

After Team Leader Mu finished his cold instructions, he turned around and left in a hurry.

The rest of the people followed the order of Team Leader Mu, stayed where they were and watched the fight between Gu Yuan and Zhou Li.

"Boy, die!"

The red in Zhou Li's eyes became increasingly intense, and he seemed to be going crazy.

Gu Yuan looked at Zhou Li calmly, sneering in his heart. Sure enough, this guy's bloodline power was not without problems, and he had clearly exposed the problem in front of him.

However, there was one question he really wanted to know, which was how the Zhou family passed the power of the Earth Bear to humans?

Unless... the ancestor of his Zhou family was the Earth Bear!

Gu Yuan's mouth twitched at first, and he felt a little ashamed of the dirty thoughts in his heart. In fact, this was a very normal thing, and it showed that the Zhou family was an extraordinary existence in the past.

Because of the existence of the Earth Bear bloodline power, Gu Yuan concluded that one of the Zhou family's ancestors must have had some Earth Bears, otherwise where did the bloodline power come from?

Secondly, if the Zhou family is a family that continued from the combination of the Earth Bear and humans, then it means that the ancestors of the Zhou family must have been extraordinary beings. After all, the Earth Bear must at least be a humanoid being, and humanoid transformation is something that only a demon beast at the Spirit Emperor level can do.

However, it is unknown how long ago this happened. The Zhou family has obviously declined compared to before. Otherwise, how could the Zhou family be just a second-rate family in Giant Stone City like it is now?

Shaking his head, Gu Yuan was just guessing about the origins of the Zhou family. As for the truth, he didn't care at all. Although his current strength was not that good, after experiencing so many things, Gu Yuan had even met several Lingjuns. He was not afraid of this second-rate family, a family force that did not even have a Lingwang strongman.

It has to be said that with more experiences, Gu Yuan's mentality has gradually changed a lot. If it were a few months ago, if he had provoked such a family force, Gu Yuan would definitely have thought about it for a while.

"Huh... If that's the case, then you can't blame me. It was you who provoked me!"

The coldness on Gu Yuan's lips became more and more obvious. He directly raised the Lingyuan heavy sword in his hand, stomped his feet hard, and began to accumulate strength.

"drink!"

Gu Yuan's figure shot out from under his feet, like a flash of lightning, and leaped directly into the air. Then, the black sword carrying a hot breath slammed towards Zhou Li again.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

Zhou Li turned into a small mountain, and all the explosive power in his body was accumulated on his right arm. He punched out, and a golden illusory fist shadow crossed the entire space, and then came to the heavy sword held by Gu Yuan, and collided with it fiercely.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Continuous explosion sounds spread from the place where the two forces merged. In the space, the air gradually became hot, scorching the surrounding space.

"Hiss... The duel between these two guys is terrifying! Is this really the power of a spiritual master?"

"Yeah, it was scary! I could feel the collision from a long way off. I was wondering what the hell was going on!"

"Are these two spiritual masters fighting? Oh my god, I thought they were powerful spiritual masters!"

…

"This level of combat is no weaker than that of an ordinary Spirit Master!"

The violent force of the explosion came from the center of the explosion. This force directly attracted many people and focused their attention on the battlefield here.
