The divine and demonic spirit suddenly stretched out its hands and grabbed the two front hooves of the golden steed. At the same time, the knight's spirit leaped up and thrust its spear toward the head of the divine and demonic spirit.
The steed held back the divine and demonic spirits while the knight's spirit attacked, their coordination was excellent, but could the steed really hold back the divine and demonic spirits?
Suddenly, the divine demon spirit flung the steed into the air, slamming it directly into the knight spirit, sending both of them flying.
Zuo Lengfeng's body trembled again. He frowned as he looked at the Divine Demon Primordial Spirit. To be honest, he had never seen such a strange primordial spirit before. Other people's primordial spirits were radiant with golden light and clearly visible, but the Divine Demon Primordial Spirit was blurry and indistinct.
"Damn it, I'm about to reach my limit." Gu Yu tried his best to clear his mind. Although he could control the power of gods and demons after the second awakening of his divine and demonic power, he couldn't do it for long. If he did, he would still be controlled by the power of gods and demons and become a bloodthirsty machine.
"The Heavenly Net Sweeps the Four Seas." The knight's primordial spirit instantly mounted the golden steed, and the spear in his hand suddenly shone with golden light. The surrounding air rippled, and Gu Yu felt as if he had arrived in the ocean.
"Open Heaven." The divine and demonic primordial spirit suddenly moved, and a long sword condensed in his hand. The sword aura formed by the power of the gods and demons suddenly appeared, and the surrounding air trembled, with a buzzing sound that could not be heard.
In an instant, the spear and the longsword clashed, and a terrifying aftershock spread out. The onlookers turned and ran. Several dormitory buildings were covered by the energy aftershock, first with the sound of shattering glass, then with the sound of them collapsing.
The divine and demonic spirits and the knight's spirits were locked in a stalemate. On one side was a vast ocean, and on the other was a dark and deep abyss. The two forces continued to clash, causing the aftershocks of energy to spread continuously.
As the area of destruction grew larger and larger, a giant hand suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky. With a sudden squeeze, the ever-spreading energy ripples were abruptly isolated and stopped spreading.
At this moment, the divine and demonic primordial spirit and the knight's primordial spirit were still locked in a stalemate, but it was clear that the knight's primordial spirit was at a disadvantage, and the vast ocean was gradually shrinking.
"Damn it." Zuo Lengfeng's face was extremely ugly at this moment, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. The next second, Gu Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Hidden strength?"
Just then, another primordial spirit suddenly appeared. This primordial spirit was a golden stone figure, and its two huge fists suddenly slammed towards the primordial spirits of gods and demons and knights.
The two primordial spirits, who had been locked in a stalemate, were suddenly blasted away.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to destroy the Dragon Clan?" Shi Polu cursed. What started as a minor skirmish had escalated into this mess, with five or six dormitory buildings collapsing. It was his fault, but who could have imagined that Gu Yu could unleash the power of a five-pointed cone? Indeed, none of the Dragon Clan members were simpletons.
Upon seeing Shi Polu appear, Zuo Lengfeng withdrew his primordial spirit, and Gu Yu also withdrew his divine and demonic primordial spirit. To be honest, Gu Yu was grateful to Shi Polu; if the old man hadn't appeared in time, he would have lost control.
"Damn it, do you know what you're doing? Look at this!" Shi Polu cursed.
Gu Yu and Zuo Lengfeng looked around and saw that everything around them was in ruins. This was normal; if the surrounding buildings were still intact after a battle between two five-star warriors, then something strange would happen.
"I don't care what methods you use, I'm giving you one month to rebuild this place exactly the same as before. If you can't, get out of the Dragon Division." Shi Polu's chest heaved, showing that the old man was really angry. The Dragon Division was short of money right now, and the construction of these five or six dormitory buildings would cost at least a billion.
After Shi Polu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
Gu Yu looked at Zuo Lengfeng and said, "The greatest head of the Academic Affairs Hall in history, you provoked us first. I think you should bear 90% of the responsibility, and I will bear the remaining 10%."
"Why should I?" Zuo Lengfeng's eyes sharpened immediately after hearing Gu Yu's words.
"Hehe... Hall Master, your cultivation level seems a bit fake, doesn't it?" Gu Yu stared intently into Zuo Lengfeng's eyes. If he wasn't mistaken, Zuo Lengfeng was hiding his true strength. He wasn't just a Five-Chip, he was very strong. If Gu Yu wasn't mistaken, this guy actually had the aura of an emperor. But why would Zuo Lengfeng hide his strength?
"What did you say?" Zuo Lengfeng's expression changed drastically upon hearing Gu Yu's words. "Nonsense! You're spouting nonsense! I am a genuine Five-Chip Warrior."
"Whether it's true or not, I think you know best." Gu Yu was too lazy to waste words with Zuo Lengfeng. It was impossible to take down this guy.
"You get 90%, I get 10%, that's settled!" Gu Yu said, then turned and left as well.
Zuo Lengfeng stared at Gu Yu's retreating figure, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. The next second, he left with extreme reluctance.
"Boss, awesome!" At this moment, the members of the combat department walked towards Gu Yu, and cheered when they saw him.
They fought head-on with five spears, holding their own, but in the end, it was Shi Polu who intervened and resolved the conflict.
"Qian Duoduo!" Gu Yu called out when he saw the fat man leading the charge.
"Boss, big brother, just give the order if you need anything. I, Qian Duoduo, will not hesitate to give it a second thought." Having witnessed Gu Yu's power, Qian Duoduo was completely convinced and submitted to him.
"Lend me some money," Gu Yu said, but his words surprised everyone. Who would have thought that Gu Yu, who had just finished a great battle, would ask for money as his first words?
"Just now, Shi Polu asked me and Zuo Lengfeng to rebuild the damaged area exactly the same as before, and he only gave us one month. Zuo Lengfeng and I made a deal: he would pay 90% of the cost, and I would pay 10%. However, I don't have that much money." Gu Yu was also a little embarrassed.
"Big brother, no problem, just leave it to me. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems." After hearing Gu Yu's explanation, Qian Duoduo patted his chest and said confidently. To be honest, he had hesitated at first when Gu Yu asked to borrow money. Could someone who could cultivate with the essence of life be poor? No! In fact, he was richer than him. Would someone like that borrow a small amount? He just hadn't expected it to be something as simple as building a few buildings. For Qian Duoduo, it was just a drop in the ocean, a piece of cake.
"I'll give you something of equal value..." Gu Yu said when he saw Qian Duoduo readily agree.
"Then I thank you, brother!" Although Gu Yu didn't finish speaking, how could Qian Duoduo not understand? Gu Yu was obviously referring to the essence of life. If it were something else, Qian Duoduo would definitely say, "Brother, you don't need to be so polite. It's too formal. But I, Qian Duoduo, am short of the essence of life!" So he didn't stand on ceremony. It wasn't that he was stingy.
"Where's Ling'er?" Gu Yu suddenly asked. With so many people coming, he didn't see Xu Ling'er, which made him a little strange. Usually, Xu Ling'er would be the first person to come over.
"Big brother, it's alright! Sister-in-law was called away by Kong Yue from the Vermilion Bird Sect," Qian Duoduo hurriedly explained.
"Kong Yue from the Vermilion Bird Sect? Why is she calling for Ling'er?" Gu Yu frowned. Xu Ling'er and Kong Yue were complete strangers. "I have to go and see."
"Big brother, Kong Yue shouldn't do anything to sister-in-law." Qian Duoduo said hurriedly when she saw Gu Yu going to find Kong Yue. With Gu Yu's strength, if anything unpleasant happened, he could just take action, and Kong Yue would be finished.
"How do you know she won't do anything to Ling'er?" Gu Yu asked Qian Duoduo.
"I………"
"Do you know Kong Yue?" Judging from Qian Duoduo's expression, it seemed that he did know Kong Yue.
"We can be considered acquaintances." Qian Duoduo nodded, but to him, Kong Yue was a devil.
"I'd better go take a look!" Gu Yu said, and left in an instant.
"Your name is Xu Ling'er, right?" Kong Yue, dressed in a red bodysuit with a curvaceous and extremely full figure, was sizing up Xu Ling'er. Unlike Xu Ling'er's coldness, Kong Yue had a certain heat about her.
"Yes, what do you want from me?" Xu Ling'er asked coldly.
"Your mother's surname should be Kong, right?" Kong Yue asked.
"How did you know?" Xu Ling'er frowned.
“Whether the primordial spirit is a phoenix, a vermilion bird, or a peacock, it is basically all of the bloodline of my Kong family. In the past, my aunt, Kong Qin, had a very unpleasant relationship with the family because of a marriage alliance. Although I was not very old at the time, I can still remember it. Later, my aunt disappeared, and the family also expelled her. I think your mother should be named Kong Qin?” Kong Yue said.
"My mother's name is indeed Kong Qin, but I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't want to know." After Xu Ling'er finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. She had never heard of her mother's family since she was a child, and she knew even less about them.
“Xu Ling’er, you need to understand one thing. In recent years, no one in my Kong family has been able to condense the Vermilion Bird's primordial spirit. They have all been peacocks. This has led to the Vermilion Bird's inheritance possibly being cut off. You are an Ice Phoenix, which is no less than the Vermilion Bird. The family already knows this, and they will definitely invite you back to the family. If you refuse, they may resort to force.” Kong Yue said.
Upon hearing Kong Yue's words, Xu Ling'er paused for a moment. "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because I don't want to become enemies with you and Gu Yu," Kong Yue said with a smile.
Gu Yu was originally looking for Xu Ling'er, but he encountered someone on the way, which made him frown. He originally intended to just walk past them.
"Gu Yu, what's wrong? You've completely forgotten about me, your old flame, now that you have a new love? Men, they really are all fickle bastards."
"Lu Yao, please understand, we've never had anything going on, so please don't bother me anymore." This person was indeed Lu Yao. After Gu Yu finished speaking, he prepared to leave again.
"Gu Yu, do you really not like me at all?" Lu Yao said immediately when she saw Gu Yu was about to leave. "I don't believe it. I still remember you buying me breakfast every morning. Because you didn't have money, you wouldn't buy it for yourself. You always lied and said you had eaten. You asked me which university I wanted to go to, and then you applied to the same university. You said you would pursue me until the end of time..." Lu Yao said, her eyes already filled with tears.
"The Gu Yu you knew is dead." Gu Yu paused and said. Perhaps he had really thought that way before, but as time goes by and the years go by, some things change. The person he once dreamed of was later found to be nothing but fleeting clouds and flowing water. Thinking back on his impulsive actions, he found it extremely laughable. Besides, in a real sense, that Gu Yu was indeed dead.
"Impossible! You're lying to me." Lu Yao said in disbelief. Gu Yu's attitude towards her in the past was definitely not an act.
"I've said it before, from now on we are strangers," Gu Yu said calmly. If he still couldn't understand, then his previous hundred years of life would have been wasted.
"How heartless you are!" Lu Yao said, looking at Gu Yu, who was extremely indifferent.
Gu Yu did not answer her and prepared to leave again. He could neither loathe nor hate the woman in front of him. Perhaps he had once thought of growing old with her, but she was not worth it.
“Gu Yu, let me tell you, do you know why Ma Li is with me? Our identities are worlds apart because of my special constitution; I have a mutated constitution.” Lu Yao suddenly realized something and said urgently, “As long as you cultivate with me, your cultivation will improve faster. Gu Yu, don’t you want to become stronger? I can cultivate with you, I…”
"Please have some self-respect," Gu Yu said. He had never imagined that Lu Yao would act this way.
"My self-respect?" Lu Yao's eyes widened suddenly. Her emotions were in turmoil. Even after all this, Gu Yu remained indifferent and unmoved. "Gu Yu, do you dare to swear? Have you never even considered sleeping with me? Do you dare to swear?"
Gu Yu ignored Lu Yao. How could he not have thought about it before? He turned and left indifferently, leaving Lu Yao frozen in place with an incredulous expression. Lu Yao was unwilling to accept this!
"Gu Yu, you'll regret this, I'll make you regret this!" Lu Yao roared ferociously. To her, this was an insult. How dare the man she once liked, looked down on, and felt unworthy of her treat her like this? She wanted to take revenge on him, she wanted to make him regret it, she wanted him to kneel down and apologize to her one day.
Gu Yu flew forward, his primordial spirit probing his surroundings. Finally, he found Xu Ling'er's figure and instantly landed beside her.
"Oh! You're here so quickly. It seems that if I really had any ill intentions, you would probably tear me to pieces." Kong Yue said upon seeing Gu Yu's arrival. This was the first time she had seen Gu Yu up close. Although the boy was somewhat immature, he was terrifyingly domineering.
"Are you alright?" Gu Yu ignored Kong Yue. Just as Kong Yue said, if she really had any ill intentions towards Xu Ling'er, he wouldn't mind cleaving her in two with a single strike. When dealing with enemies, regardless of gender, one should never be soft-hearted.
"I'm fine," Xu Ling'er said, shaking her head.
"How boring. I'm such a beautiful woman standing right in front of you, and you don't even look at me. How boring," Kong Yue said from the side.
"Let's go!" Gu Yu reached out and grabbed Xu Ling'er's hand. Although he didn't know what had happened, Gu Yu seemed to sense something was wrong from Xu Ling'er's expression. If there hadn't been no signs of a fight around them, he probably would have attacked Kong Yue directly.
Holding Xu Ling'er's hand, Gu Yu didn't press her for details. If Xu Ling'er wanted to tell him, she would naturally do so.
“Gu Yu, I…” Xu Ling’er suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yu also stopped.
"If I leave for a while, I mean if."
"Oh!" Gu Yu paused for a moment. "Where are you going?"
What do you mean by "ifs and ifs"? Gu Yu isn't stupid. Since Xu Ling'er said that, it definitely isn't an "if"; she really wants to leave.
“Go and cultivate for a while. You’ve progressed too fast. If I continue like this, I’ll only hold you back in the future,” Xu Ling’er said.
"Where will you cultivate? I can provide you with life essence every day from now on." Gu Yu looked at Xu Ling'er. Although Xu Ling'er did not show sadness or distress at this moment, Gu Yu could sense that she was very unwilling. "What happened? Or is someone forcing you?"
"No, it's just my own feeling. I want to go to the Kong family to cultivate for a while," Xu Ling'er said. Kong Yue made it very clear that the Kong family knew her primordial spirit was a phoenix. If she didn't go to the Kong family, they would definitely use force. Although Gu Yu has great talent now, he hasn't fully matured yet. So what if he can fight a five-star warrior? The Kong family already has several king-level experts.
If Gu Yu found out that the Kong family had used force against her, given his personality, he would definitely confront them. How would Gu Yu face that? The Kong family! A behemoth! She didn't want Gu Yu to get involved with such a behemoth because of her, so after much consideration, she decided to take the initiative and bring it up herself.
In this way, the Kong family won't have to resort to force, and Gu Yu won't stop them.
"The Kong family?" Gu Yu frowned. If we're really talking about it, Xu Ling'er's primordial spirit is a phoenix, and the most suitable place for Xu Ling'er to cultivate on the entire Earth is the Kong family. The primordial spirits of the Kong family are basically peacocks. However, peacocks and phoenixes have a great relationship. In mythology, the phoenix gives birth to the roc and the peacock. It can be said that the phoenix is the maternal family of the peacock. The Kong family also has the secret methods of phoenix cultivation. Going to the Kong family would be extremely suitable for Xu Ling'er.
“My mother was actually a member of the Kong family, but she left the Kong family because of some things. So, in a true sense, I have Kong family blood, which is why I have the Phoenix Source and my primordial spirit is a phoenix,” Xu Ling’er explained.
"I see." Gu Yu nodded. Cultivators also have a tradition of inheritance when condensing their primordial spirit. Basically, whatever the parents are, the child will be too. Of course, there are times when there are changes during the inheritance process.
"Gu Yu, I'm going to the Kong family tomorrow. We'll meet again when I'm strong enough." Xu Ling'er's eyes held a hint of reluctance.
"Hmm!" Gu Yu nodded again. He was also somewhat reluctant. However, if Xu Ling'er became stronger, it would also benefit him. Even if he had the strength to protect others, he couldn't always take care of everyone. Besides, he didn't have the strength to protect everyone yet.
