Chapter 485: Defeat the enemy with one strike! (Big chapter!)
Amid the cheers, Gu Dan's voice was like waves rising and falling with the tide, and was drowned out in the blink of an eye.
But for a Yuanying Master, let alone speaking openly, it would be extremely difficult not to be heard by them even if they were mumbling very carefully.
Venerable Xu, who was boasting about Lou Yan, turned his head in disbelief and looked at Gu Dan, whose expression was calm. His old yet still clear eyes were full of surprise.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "What did you just say?"
"Kong Zhai, a disciple of Venerable Shen, comes to challenge me to a fight."
Gu Dan repeated it honestly.
"Hiss~"
Venerable Xu took a deep breath.
He really didn't hear it wrong, and it wasn't just because he was old and his eyes were blurry.
No, how can you, a junior who has just been promoted to the Golden Core, fight against a genius who has reached the Golden Core Perfection and has already mastered a magical power to a minor level? If you could use the excuse of "ignorance is not a crime" to justify this guy's registration before, now that he has seen the magical power in action and still wants to go up and try it, it's a bit ignorant.
Even Shen Jiangyue, who had always had confidence in Gu Dan, showed a rare hint of hesitation on her face.
Before this, she was full of confidence and had special faith in her disciple. Of course, it was not only because of the Thousand Miles of Tribulation Cloud, but also because Gu Dan had withstood the Scarlet Sky Divine Thunder that only Nascent Soul Realm masters had to face.
But Lou Yan is definitely not someone who is easy to be with.
Tongtian Jianmu is the supreme magical power of the Changsheng Sect. It is both offensive and defensive, and is definitely the best choice among all magical powers.
The only pity is that once this magical power is used, it is difficult to move. In short, it is easy to become a target and has extremely poor flexibility.
When monks fight, they don't just stand there like wooden stakes. Many of them run away when they can't win. Therefore, although this magical power is top-notch in both offense and defense, few people are willing to try to practice it.
After all, supernatural powers are not as "simple" as secret techniques. To master a supernatural power and successfully display it would probably take decades of hard work, and one would have to be an extraordinary talent.
At the Jindan stage, one can only master one magical power at most. After all, people with real abilities will naturally try their best to sprint upwards. It is not worth staying in the Jindan stage. If you can't use more magical powers at the same time, and your life span is approaching, why bother? However, Tongtian Jianmu's shortcomings became advantages in the ring battle.
He couldn't leave the ring. Once his magical power was successfully displayed, where could he run to? The outcome of the battle between Meng Xun and Lou Yan was already determined after Lou Yan displayed Tongtian Jianmu.
Call it cheating or scheming, the fact that he was able to master the supernatural powers to a small degree is enough to show that his understanding and talent are first-class in the world, and his strength is unquestionable.
When facing an opponent with supernatural powers, if you cannot win quickly, by the time the supernatural powers are formed, you will definitely be defeated unless you master a more powerful offensive supernatural power and have a stronger foundation.
Obviously, Gu Dan, who had just been promoted to the Golden Core stage, had no time to practice supernatural powers, nor did he have the time to cultivate.
After all, he was just a native cultivator of Yuantian Realm. Even though he had a natural spiritual root, he had never been taught before. He was far behind these people in terms of foundation. If he had more time, it would be fine. Shen Jiangyue was confident that he could make up for it all for him, but now it was too rushed . Shen Jiangyue suddenly regretted recommending his apprentice.
It's not that I think Gu Dan is bad,
Instead, he should wait a few more years before it is his turn to shine, instead of going head-on with these guys who have been in the Jindan realm for a hundred years just after achieving the Jindan stage.
Forcing a three-year-old child to fight against an adult with profound skills is bound to bring trouble to himself, no matter how talented the three-year-old is.
"Disciple, let's forget it."
Shen Jiangyue pulled Gu Dan's sleeve and said softly, "Lou Yan has already mastered the Tongtian Jianmu magical power. Once this magical power is used, even an ordinary Yuanying Master will find it difficult to break it before the spiritual energy is exhausted."
Upon hearing this, Master Xu nodded and said, "I am very pleased that you have this thought, but your stage is not here. Wait another hundred years, and I believe you can also represent the young generation of the Changsheng Sect."
What this means, of course, is that Gu Dan is not yet capable of participating in a battle of this level.
But he is the elder after all, so he naturally speaks more tactfully and mainly focuses on encouragement.
It is impossible for a sect with a good internal operation to suppress its own talented disciples everywhere, otherwise it will inevitably lead to disunity and the loss will outweigh the gain.
However, in the face of the consolation from his master and elders, Gu Dan did not give in this time and said with certainty: "Disciple is willing to give it a try, I beg Master not to stop me."
To be fair, Shen Jiangyue treated him well, but Gu Dan must also fight for what he should fight for.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no such thing as first come first served, but winner takes all.
If I don't show myself, will those opportunities come to me? Since I have joined the sect, I naturally need to rely on the sect's power.
The most convenient and simplest way is to prove your strength and potential.
Zhen Chi used his golden elixir invincibility to gain the full support of Tian Yan Zong. Even for this flag, Tian Yan Zong did not mind "wasting" the opportunity on Zhen Chi. After all, this flag was already very useful, and the reputation gained was enough for them to be willing to make a large investment.
Since there is this "lesson learned from the past", Gu Dan naturally wants to get on the carriage of Changsheng Sect. It is true that a thousand-mile horse can travel a thousand miles a day, but how can it be as comfortable and convenient as sitting in the carriage?
Time waits for no one. Today is no longer the time to lie dormant and practice in secret.
"Good boy, you are shameless."
Venerable Zheng on the side had a slightly colder expression. He had heard Gu Dan's request to fight just now, but he was just too lazy to pay attention.
But now Venerable Xu and even his master have asked him to step down, but he still dares to go on his own way. Does he really think he is a dish?
"Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of Lou Yan when he just used his magical power and his spiritual energy was almost exhausted?"
Venerable Zheng looked at Gu Dan with increasing dissatisfaction, not hesitating to assume the worst.
"That's wrong. I will wait until Senior Brother Lou is in perfect condition before fighting him."
Faced with the malice of a venerable, Gu Dan remained calm.
"You better be."
Reverend Zheng snorted coldly. He was originally very happy that his disciple had defeated him, but there was always a fly buzzing beside him, insisting that it could compete with the wild geese.
It's really a bit of a bummer.
"Zheng Zun, please watch your attitude! This is my disciple, it is not your turn to teach him a lesson for me!"
Zheng Zunzun's attitude finally angered Shen Jiangyue. "Why, when will the Changsheng Sect have a chance to appoint a candidate? I recommended my disciple myself, and it is reasonable for me to have the opportunity to take the stage. Do I need your consent?"
"Okay, okay, since Kong Zhai is willing to give it a try, let him give it a try."
Seeing that the two venerables had already started arguing, Venerable Xu also felt a headache and acted as a peacemaker.
"Thank you, Venerable Xu. Sorry for bothering you, Master."
Gu Dan bowed. He had no intention of sowing discord with anyone, but this was related to his own growth and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
If I offend anyone because of this, there is nothing I can do about it.
After all, where there are interests, conflicts with others are inevitable.
On the ring, Lou Yan was enjoying the glory of victory.
The barrier that had been raised had fallen, and a group of his fellow junior brothers and sisters rushed up one after another, throwing him up one after another.
In my ears, I could hear sounds of compliments or cheers of joy.
"Brother Lou is so awesome, you are the best candidate for the chief of Changsheng Sect!"
"Brother Lou, please guide me. I also want to learn magical powers!"
"Brother Lou has already achieved a small level of magical power. Looking at the Golden Core Realm, he is almost invincible. I am afraid that only Zhen Chi can cause some trouble for Brother Lou, but he may not be invincible!"
Various voices came one after another, and Lou Yan was thrown up and caught by everyone.
Lou Yan, who was dressed in a gray robe and was usually quite calm, couldn't help but reveal a big, satisfied smile on his face.
Is this what a winner feels like? Cheering and jumping for joy.
Even the heart is beating violently and the pulse is telling of the joy in my heart.
After more than three hundred years of ups and downs, Lou Yan finally reached the highest position in the Changsheng Sect - although he was only among the disciples.
Vanity is like a dream, passing like clouds and smoke for a hundred years.
All silent efforts have come to fruition today.
Fate will not let down those who are ambitious and hardworking.
Lou Yan couldn't help but close his eyes gently. He didn't resist the closeness of his fellow junior brothers and sisters. This was one of the honors that the winner deserved.
Until "Brother Lou, can you give me some of this dress to share in the good fortune?"
At a certain moment, a lively junior fellow student suddenly said this.
Then he felt a hand pulling off his clothes.
This move was like turning on a switch.
"I want one too!"
"Brother Lou, give me some too, so I can share in the good fortune!"
"Brother Lou, can you give me the hairpin? I'll give you a new one later."
Amid the shouting and yelling, Lou Yan's clothes were torn into pieces in an instant.
The fellow students who had grabbed a piece of clothing held up the torn clothes and shouted, as if they were proud of it.
Lou Yan: “?”
Won't you ask for my opinion?
But that’s not all.
There were even little hands taking the opportunity to touch him randomly. What was going on?!
"No, don't mess around!"
Lou Yan opened his eyes again in horror, and saw a pretty junior sister's tender and green hand gently patting the indescribable place.
Although facing his horrified gaze, the junior sister smiled shyly, turned around and ran away without looking back.
In an instant, Lou Yan's face turned red, as if blood was about to drip out.
While the glory of the winner is great, it's a bit too far forward.
As a true ascetic, I have never seen such a scene.
But these were all his junior brothers and sisters, some of whom were only strong enough to practice Qi. It was naturally difficult for him to force them to stop by using his spiritual energy or pressure, so as not to hurt them.
For a moment, a powerful man who had achieved perfect golden elixir, half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, and had some magical powers was actually being bullied by a group of little guys, causing a huge chaos.
Fortunately, someone came to his rescue.
"Hey, Lou Yan, you still have an opponent, cheer again later."
A voice was heard, and a group of monks who were originally jumping around Lou Yan were slowly pushed away by an invisible force, rescuing Lou Yan, who was almost shirtless.
"Another opponent?"
However, Lou Yan was slightly stunned and quite puzzled.
Hasn’t his opponent always been Meng Xun?
Who else can compete with the Changsheng Sect?
"Didn't your master tell you? There are three people recommended this time. One is you, one is Meng Xun, and the other is Kong Zhai, who just joined the Changsheng Sect not long ago and was promoted to the Golden Core a few days ago.
He came a little late, you and Meng Xun had already finished fighting. Since Meng Xun lost to you, if you beat him again, no one can say anything. "
Venerable Xu came over and told them.
"Master never said that."
Lou Yan took out another robe from the storage bag and put it on, with even more confusion in his eyes.
Venerable Zheng did not mention this matter to him.
After all, in the eyes of Venerable Zheng, he was just a little guy who had just been promoted to the Golden Core stage. To say that he was just a bonus was an exaggeration and was not worth mentioning at all.
However, a cultivator who had just been promoted to the Golden Core stage, no matter how talented he was, could not be much stronger than Meng Xun, who already had a natural spiritual root? Not to mention that he had less time to accumulate experience in the Golden Core stage.
Is it really necessary to fight again?
Reverend Zheng had also stepped onto the stage. He raised his hand and threw a bottle of pills to Lou Yan, saying coldly, "Recover your spiritual energy and beat that guy up for me. There's no need to be polite to this guy who doesn't know his place."
"yes."
Although Lou Yan was not clear about the specific situation, he did not dare to delay. He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. His spiritual energy began to recover at an extremely fast speed.
It takes all the strength of a lion to fight a rabbit. Even though he didn't understand why a guy who had just been promoted to the Golden Core stage wanted to challenge him, it didn't mean he would take it lightly. He directly began to regulate his breathing on the ring.
Lou Yan's fellow junior brothers and sisters who were driven away looked at each other in bewilderment.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"There's another one? Who is Kong Zhai? Why haven't I heard of him?"
"I seem to have some impression of this name. He built his foundation and defeated the Dragon King. He once ranked second on the Tianjiao List!"
"Building a foundation???"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
The record of building the foundation and defeating the Dragon King is indeed impressive, but it also depends on who you are comparing with, right?
Ever since Lou Yan showed his ability to achieve minor success in supernatural powers, many people thought that he could even compete with a Nascent Soul Master.
Is it really okay for a genius who has established his foundation to come and try to scam someone?
"That seems to have happened more than three years ago. After such a long time, Kong Zhai should have achieved the Golden Core Stage, right?"
"Oh, so what if he has been promoted to the Golden Core? Senior Brother Lou Yan is also a flawless Golden Core. He has been practicing in the Golden Core realm for two hundred years and has mastered a magical power. Who can compare to him?"
"In my opinion, Kong Zhai has been blinded by greed. Does he really think that there is no difference between golden elixirs? How dare any random dragon king compete with Senior Brother Lou Yan?"
The younger brothers and sisters who were originally surrounding Lou Yan excitedly were all talking to each other, and were very dissatisfied.
As a result, he also became more hostile towards Gu Dan.
However, rules are rules, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, a battle is necessary.
However, they were not worried at all whether Lou Yan would win or not, they just wanted to see how quickly he won.
"It's open, it's open."
Some of the disciples who were curious about the topic started shouting loudly.
"Can this be opened? Does anyone really think that Kong Zhai can win?"
"It's so funny. There's no chance that Kong Zhai can win. The question is how many moves Brother Lou Yan can make to win, and whether he needs to use his magical powers."
"I see. I'll take three moves!"
"One move, Senior Brother Lou Yan is so powerful, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with one move!"
"That's wrong. Since Kong Zhai was able to defeat the Dragon King while building his foundation, it means he has some skills. I can suppress him and perform beyond his capacity. He can withstand ten attacks!"
"You can give me the spirit stones you don't have left. There's no need to waste them like this."
After the market opened, no one bet that Lou Yan would need to use the cultivator's magical powers, and the person who was most optimistic about Gu Dan only bet that he could hold out for ten moves.
Until a woman came over and said, "Why is there no plate for Kong Zhai to win? Open one for me."
"Um?"
A group of Changsheng Sect monks who came to join in the fun raised their heads to see who had gone mad.
"Lu Lingyin?"
"The first disciple of Master Shen."
"How could she win by betting against Kong Zhai?"
"Kong Zhai joined the Changsheng Sect and became the disciple of Master Shen. We are from the same lineage. Can you give me some face?"
The cultivator who opened the market grinned broadly upon hearing this. If someone was giving away spirit stones for free, why not take them?
"What's the maximum?"
Ignoring the voices around her, Lu Lingyin asked.
"A little gambling for fun, capped at one thousand spirit stones."
The monk who opened the market almost laughed his mouth off, "If you bet like this, I'll give you all the money if you win."
This kind of opening is not prohibited in the sect, of course the premise is that it can't be too big, but it's okay to liven up the atmosphere.
“All in.”
Lu Lingyin threw out a storage bag and turned away.
"As expected of the Yuanying Master's first disciple, you are so generous!"
"Hey, what's the point of being generous? It's just giving away spiritual stones for free."
“I hope there are more good people like this.”
Unfortunately, apart from Lu Lingyin who made a bet with the attitude of supporting her junior brother, no one else was stupid enough to bet that Gu Dan could beat Lou Yan.
After this little episode, Lou Yan's spiritual energy had almost recovered.
Of course it's too late to do it 100%, and of course there's no need to do it.
Thanks to the priceless elixir given by Master Zheng, his condition has recovered to about 80% or 90%. It is more than enough for him to use his magical powers again, and there is no need to keep everyone waiting.
"Master, I'm ready."
Lou Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes.
The rich spiritual energy surged in his body, almost reaching its peak.
"Okay, teach him a lesson!"
Reverend Zheng nodded and stepped down from the stage.
"The final battle between the two heroes, Kong Zhai versus Lou Yan."
Venerable Xu did not delay and spoke directly, his voice carrying the entire audience.
Under the watchful eyes of the Changsheng Sect's disciples and even the Nascent Soul Masters, Gu Dan stepped onto the stage.
There was a hundred feet between the two men.
Lou Yan had already stood up and was looking at this challenger who might have just been promoted to the Golden Core stage not long ago with a slightly scrutinizing look, but he naturally couldn't see anything.
"Brother Lou, sorry to bother you."
Gu Dan clasped his fists and bowed, but he didn't look as arrogant as Lou Yan had thought.
"Junior Brother Kong is still too impatient. It won't be too late to join the fight later."
Lou Yan said slowly.
"Time is not waiting for me."
Gu Dan shook his head slightly.
"Then we'll have to see for ourselves."
Lou Yan was well prepared and did not take it lightly.
The light curtain on the ring rose again.
A group of noisy Changsheng Sect monks had already arrived in front of the arena again, ready to enjoy the farce that was about to end.
"Is this the Kong Zhai? Not as good-looking as Senior Brother Lou Yan."
"Indeed, I don't know where the confidence comes from to dare to challenge Senior Brother Lou Yan."
"Do you enjoy making a fool of yourself in public so much?"
As Gu Dan stepped onto the stage, a chorus of voices criticized him in all kinds of ways.
However, this had nothing to do with the overall situation. Venerable Xu directly announced: "The battle of the prides begins!"
"Junior Brother Kong, please."
Lou Yan said.
"good."
The next moment, Gu Dan's figure disappeared.
Under his feet, spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the arena, which was strong enough to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul Master.
That stunning figure approached Lou Yan at an incredible speed.
Lou Yan's pupils shrank slightly. He had never expected Gu Dan's speed to be so fast. When he subconsciously mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, his heart seemed to be pinched hard by someone, and the blood in his body almost flowed backwards!
This was only a brief delay.
Not even a breath of time.
The next moment, the figure had arrived in front of him.
His hands formed into claws and grabbed his neck.
The flow of spiritual energy was blocked, and Lou Yan subconsciously wanted to wave his hand to fight back.
However, his speed was too slow for Gu Dan.
Before Lou Yan touched him, Gu Dan's hands had already firmly grasped Lou Yan's neck.
There was clearly no fluctuation of spiritual energy on Gu Dan's body, nor was there any trace of aura.
But that iron-like palm was far harder than the iron of elite soldiers.
It is so hard that just a slight force is enough to crush a person's neck.
Lou Yan opened his eyes in confusion. His spiritual energy, which had already resumed its circulation, was like an arrow on a bow, but it had lost its target.
It was not until this time that the sound of wind whistling like cannonballs gradually began to sound around me, and the strong wind that came with it blew on my body, it was really cool.
It's chilling.
"Brother Lou, I'm grateful for your kindness."
