"Don't count on it, then it's a no."
"I think it's a no, so it is."
That woman was quite tough; yesterday's setback had likely pushed her to her limits. Tomorrow, Gu would be forced to confront Dong repeatedly, yet she wouldn't budge an inch, allowing those around her to feel the imposing presence of a senior sister.
In that case, were there any rules? All they needed was for him to knock that guy down, right?
Gu symbolically inquired and then walked toward a nearby open space. In such a situation, Dong's battle could not be expected to end with a clear defeat; otherwise, rumors of a sneak attack would spread.
All he needed was to defeat him. Dong Ming approached Gu's side, the one hundred thirty-fourth disciple of the academy, known as Chong Gang. He preferred them to call him Mad Shark.
As a Tenth Generation Disciple of Xuanming, it seemed appropriate for me to address him as Ancestor.
He was Liu Shizu's Disciples of the Master; how could Coco...
Upon hearing Gu's words, everyone was astonished. They all knew Gu had been taken by Liu Shizu and initially thought he would be handed over to his own disciples. They never expected he would become a Disciples of the Master.
That status was far superior to that of the academy's True Disciple. Although there was no direct conflict between the two, being a direct disciple of an Ancestor was incomparable to any True Disciple. The resources for cultivation were vastly different; the two were worlds apart and could not be compared.
The young brat just loved to show off his sharp tongue.
Dong Ming made the first move. He had been present at yesterday's banquet but hadn't had the chance to step forward at that time. He had witnessed Gu's bizarre and ruthless leg technique; he couldn't ignore the sharpness that could appear silently. Now, launching a strong attack would only give Gu an opportunity to showcase his skills.
"Is that all you've got?" Gu said, not denying it. He quickly gathered himself, determined not to embarrass himself any further. Although Dong Ming's attacks were fierce and it seemed Gu could handle them, after dozens of exchanges, there was no sign of panic from Gu You. In fact, he wore a smile that was almost mocking.
With a loud shout, Dong Ming unleashed a powerful punch aimed at Gu's leg palm. The two separated instantly, retreating three to four meters. Then, Dong Ming drew his Mid-Grade Spirit Blade, the Bloodthirsty Blade, and executed the Shark Blood Tooth Technique, slashing toward Gu without any intention of holding back.
Gu made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he pulled out his own Mid-Grade Spirit Blade from when he entered the Outer Court. While it wasn't as refined as a treasure sword, it was still a Mid-Grade Spirit Blade. The power of the Guarding Heart Sword might not match Dong Ming's prized weapon, but it should be comparable.
Clearly, Gu was overthinking things. Although the Guarding Heart Sword was indeed a Mid-Grade Spirit Blade, its strength lay not in cutting but in stabilizing one's mind through its formation. This meant that during their battle, Gu wouldn't be easily distracted or overwhelmed by negative emotions like anger.
As for facing the Bloodthirsty Blade head-on, that was a mistake. After several exchanges, cracks began to appear on the Guarding Heart Sword; with a few more strikes, it might shatter completely.
After a fierce clash with Dong Ming that temporarily pushed him back, Gu discarded the now cracked Guarding Heart Sword. Shaking his head at the sight of the damaged blade, he muttered to himself about how unreliable the items from the Outer Court were.
Dong Ming had no intention of giving Gu a moment's respite. A long streak of blood-red Blade Light shot toward Gu. At that moment, everyone in the square fell silent; the wind howled around them as if time had stopped.
That guy...
Huo Lian recalled the morning just three days after Gu entered the Outer Court. The scene now was strikingly similar to then when he had kicked and caught a dark green scythe formed from Spiritual Energy and crushed it effortlessly. That time had indeed been under the threat of Bloodthirsty Blade's Blade Light.
Dong Ming couldn't believe someone could catch his Blade Light with a kick. Yet here it was before him; he had no choice but to accept it as reality. Still, he didn't think Gu could catch every single strike. Without hesitation, he unleashed another Blade Light.
At that moment, everyone gasped in shock.
Click, click.
The Blade Light struck Gu's leg, shattering it like paper, and with two crisp sounds, it turned into fragments, which then transformed into Spiritual Energy and vanished into the void.
As Gu Yi approached step by step, Dong Ming suddenly felt that the figure before him was not just a person, but a devil. The gaze he received was devoid of any emotion, as if he stood outside that world, looking down upon everything. Dong Ming sensed a coldness in him, a detachment from the entire world.
Even Gu himself was unaware that Dong Ming's perception was flawed. His gaze lacked emotion; it was a pure indifference born from the despair that world had once inflicted upon him. He had struggled to climb out of the abyss of hopelessness, which shaped his current demeanor.
Gu slightly raised his left leg, and a Pale Pink flame reappeared on his somewhat yellowed skin. Back when he roamed outside the Flowing Cloud Realm, he had gotten himself covered in darkness from the Eastern Capital. Now, as he began to recover, his skin would return to its original red hue. Bu Luo and Gu Ben both preferred darker skin tones, believing it made them appear stronger.
Enough.
Turning his head towards the direction of silence, Gu smiled. He did not Move Against nor extinguish the flames in his leg. Ruo Nan, who had been walking alongside him all this time, finally seemed unable to hold back any longer.
