Chapter 268: Genius
You Tingchu thought that the martial arts arena would not be destroyed by lightning, right?
Feng Qingyi had a different idea from him. He felt that even if the martial arts arena was damaged, Gu Liyue could afford the compensation.
The academy originally thought that it could afford the budget to build an arena, but the arena is too large and the cost of renovation is too high, so we will consider it next time.
But if it is damaged by Gu Liyue, I can ask her to compensate for it, which will be a good opportunity to replace it with a new one. There are too many sword marks on the martial arts field, so it's time to replace it with a new one.
He actually didn't want to cheat Gu Liyue, because Lingxiao Peak was so poor!
Putting aside his inner thoughts, he said to You Tingchu, "If you want to compete with Gu Liyue, you need her consent. Besides, she's already fought two rounds. I don't know if she still has the physical and spiritual strength to fight you."
You Tingchu looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Liyue, can you still compete with me?"
Gu Liyue felt that only half of the spiritual power in her body was left. She didn't know how strong You Tingchu was. Since he could become the direct disciple of the Great Elder, he must be quite strong.
"Let me regulate my breathing for a quarter of an hour, and then we can start again."
As she spoke, she swallowed two Qi-replenishing pills and sat beside the martial arts field to regulate her breathing.
At this time, she didn't know that she was going to be taken advantage of by the Great Elder again!
When the people present heard about You Tingchu and Gu Liyue's scheduled battle, they spread the news. Almost all the students at Lingxiao Peak were present, and some even posted it on the Xianwenlu. Many cultivators rushed over.
When the Great Elder took out the Record of Immortals and took a look, the entire Qingxuan Academy was almost in an uproar.
Someone posted: "New student Gu Liyue defeated Lingxiao Peak's direct disciple and even broke the arena."
"Another disciple has challenged Gu Liyue to a duel. The duel will begin in a quarter of an hour at the Lingxiao Peak Martial Arts Arena."
"I wonder if the disciples from other peaks can go and observe. Is there any big boss in Xianwenlu? Can you give us students from other peaks a chance to observe?"
In the main hall of Tongtian Peak, the dean looked at the Xianwenlu in his hand. Ever since he saw the Xianwenlu in the hands of the great elder last time, he also got one for himself.
He walked out of the hall and waved his hand, and the barrier of Lingxiao Peak entered another mode.
Then he anonymously posted a message in the Xianwenlu: "According to reliable information, any cultivator holding a name badge from any peak of the academy can enter Lingxiao Peak."
Then Xianwenlu was in an uproar again, and all kinds of questions to confirm the news flooded the entire Xianwenlu.
After a moment, someone confirmed: "I have personally tested and I am a student of Tongming Peak. I can really enter Lingxiao Peak. I am rushing to the martial arts field."
Then students from other peaks also sent similar messages.
Then someone else said: "Thank you for giving other Feng students this opportunity."
Many people echoed this.
The dean looked at the crazy screen scrolling in Xianwenlu, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
At this time, above Qingxuan Academy, many streams of light flew towards Lingxiao Peak. This was an unprecedented situation.
The dean looked up at the sky. It was time to go to the back mountain to listen to the ancestors' opinions. He flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Lingxiao Peak, martial arts training ground.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Gu Liyue heard noisy sounds coming from all around. She opened her eyes, stood up, looked around, and her expression became confused again.
She felt the unusual movement of the Xianwenlu in the space, and the voice of Xuanhuo came from her sea of consciousness. He was originally practicing in the space, but was disturbed by the Xianwenlu.
He thought of how he had been watched by many people these days, and his inner depression strangely dissipated.
"Liyue, take a look at the Records of Immortals. It seems like it's your turn to be watched." He said bluntly.
Gu Liyue took out the Record of Immortals and was shocked by what she saw. Xuanhuo had really said it was her turn.
It must have been arranged by the dean, huh!
Now that I have agreed to You Tingchu, I am in a dilemma and can only try my best to fight. I wonder if it is a fake fight?
She only dared to think about this idea.
Although the martial arts training ground at Lingxiao Peak is large enough, it is still crowded with people.
She put away the Record of Immortals and saw You Tingchu walking towards her.
Looking at the stands of the martial arts arena, the Great Elder and Fu Qingyun were sitting there, along with a few disciples whom he had never seen before.
You Tingchu said, "Liyue, are you done regulating your breathing?"
Gu Liyue nodded and said, "Why is the situation like this?"
You Tingchu looked at the monks around him and said helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight seriously."
The two men stood on the martial arts field and saluted the great elder as disciples.
The Great Elder raised his hand and said, "Fight well and let everyone see your strength."
The two of them had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
This atmosphere made Gu Liyue feel a bit like a performance.
She and You Tingchu stood on both sides. With a shake of her hand, [Green Light] was in her grasp.
She used the sword moves from the "Qingxuan Sword Art". The people below the stage saw that it was a familiar sword move, but the difference was that she rushed straight towards You Tingchu with tremendous momentum.
You Tingchu felt a strong sword energy coming towards him, but he didn't expect Gu Liyue to use a big move right from the start. He didn't dare to underestimate it, so he took a step back with his left foot and started to move forward.
With a flick of the sword, a stream of sword energy flew rapidly towards Gu Liyue's sword energy.
The two sword energies collided, creating a resounding sound that echoed through the sky. Waves of spiritual energy quickly spread out in all directions.
The two people on the training ground each took two steps back.
The Great Elder waved his hand and raised a barrier for the martial arts arena.
The aftermath of the spiritual energy hit the barrier, bounced back and dissipated.
You Tingchu stepped forward and stabbed Gu Liyue in the face with the sword in his hand. Gu Liyue formed a spiritual power shield to resist.
You Tingchu's sword pierced her spiritual power shield, causing cracks to appear on the shield. With a "crack", the shield shattered and dissipated.
Gu Liyue raised her sword and swept it to the side, sweeping away You Tingchu's sword, causing a string of sparks and a teeth-grinding sound of iron rubbing against each other.
You Tingchu was swept by the [Green Light] and was taken to the side.
[Green Light] followed like a shadow and attacked his back.
He felt a chill running down his spine, and released his spiritual power to shake off the [Green Light].
Gu Liyue took a step back and thrust out another sword.
The two exchanged dozens of moves in just a quarter of an hour. The people off the field watched with great interest and were amazed.
The Great Elder sat in the stands, stroking his beard with one hand and nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Liyue took a running start and rushed towards You Tingchu, using the momentum to strike out with a sword, and the [Green Light] hit You Tingchu's face directly.
Unexpectedly, You Tingchu did not retreat but advanced, leaning forward and gathering strength on his feet.
This is going to be a head-on confrontation.
Gu Liyue sensed his intention and quickly transferred her spiritual energy to [Qingmang]. The blade of [Qingmang] glowed with a green light.
The two men raised their swords and clashed with each other, and spiritual power shone brightly.
With a "bang", the two men retreated. Gu Liyue retreated two steps, and You Tingchu retreated three steps. The difference in strength was immediately apparent.
The people in the audience exclaimed in admiration.
"Both of you are so amazing!"
"I didn't expect that Master Gu wasn't afraid of a fight at all. He even managed to win even with all his strength."
"Uncle You has held the undefeated record in the arena for so long, it looks like he's going to break it this time."
"It's not the end yet, the outcome is still undecided!"
"Yeah, let's wait and see. After all, Uncle Gu has only been in the academy for a short time."
"More than that, I heard that Master Gu has only been practicing for a short time."
"Then she is truly a genius!"
