Hearing Lin Qiubai's taunts, Gu Lie slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath, clearly suppressing his anger.
He licked his crimson lips, his energy firmly locking onto Lin Qiubai. Then, his figure flickered and suddenly descended onto the Arena, dispersing the swirling mist that enveloped it.
"It has been a long time since someone has dared to humiliate me like this!"
Gu Lie glared at Lin Qiubai, speaking coldly. A fierce aura radiated from him, coalescing into sharp blades that slashed through the surrounding space, producing a piercing sound of metal clashing.
The nearby Upperclassman quickly activated their energy, urging their cushions to flicker in the void, retreating ten meters in an instant.
"Gu Lie has grown stronger! This time, he might be able to defeat last year's Zhong Li Shan head-on."
"Zhong Li Shan was ranked fifty-third among last year's Upperclassman in combat power! With Gu Lie being so formidable, crushing a mere Lin Qiubai should be no problem!"
Everyone was talking excitedly about Blood Blade Gu Lie, praising him endlessly, as his battle record was indeed terrifying.
Three months ago, Gu Lie accomplished something shocking that stunned half of the sect.
In order to gain cloud energy value, he accepted a sect mission: to go to the Fallen Mountains outside the imperial capital and slay the peak villain of the Third Layer of Yuan Dan Realm, Zhou Bao.
Unexpectedly, there was an issue with the sect mission; Zhou Bao had already broken through to the fourth level of the Yuan Dan Realm!
However, without knowing about the change in circumstances, Gu Lie, who had rushed to the Fallen Mountains at full speed after accepting the mission, charged straight into the bandit's lair.
At that time, the elders all believed that Gu Lie was doomed to die.
However, three days later, Gu Lie returned to the sect, covered in blood and holding Zhou Bao's bloody head.
The expression on Zhou Bao's severed head was frozen in fear, shock, and panic...
This scene sent chills down the spines of the elders; even the Vice Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion raised an eyebrow in astonishment.
Zhou Bao was a genuine Fourth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm cultivator, who had long been struggling on the edge of life and death. His methods were insidious and ruthless, with countless hidden cards up his sleeve. Even a Fourth Layer of Yuan Dan Realm cultivator could fall at Zhou Bao's hands.
Yet Gu Lie, relying on his Third Layer of Yuan Dan Realm cultivation, had actually killed him right in Zhou Bao's own lair...
This level of strength was truly terrifying!
The nickname "Blood Blade Gu Lie" began to spread throughout the Yun Yin Sacred Sect from this moment on.
"I've arrived. I hope your arrogance is not foolishness but true strength."
Blood Blade Gu Lie did not waste any words.
The sheath behind him trembled, and in an instant, the entire arena was enveloped by the sound of blades ringing.
It was as if a hundred thousand wild bees were buzzing around, their hum causing one's scalp to tingle.
"Clang!"
A long and straight Tang Dao fell into Gu Lie's hands, its blade a deep crimson as if it were about to drip blood.
As the long knife was grasped, Gu Lie's aura gradually converged, and the buzzing of a hundred thousand wild bees in the arena quickly vanished.
At this moment, the only thing that existed in the world was a single blade.
"Sword Intent at the fourth level, peak of the Yuan Dan Realm at the fourth level..."
Lin Qiubai's gaze swept lightly, and he understood Gu Lie's strength clearly. This level of power could dominate among the upperclassmen in the Sect for a year, but before Lin Qiubai, it was simply insufficient.
However, the audience below did not share this belief.
They firmly believed that Lin Qiubai would undoubtedly be unable to withstand the formidable Gu Lie.
"Gu Lie's Sword Intent has reached a terrifying level. Lin Qiubai is bound to lose."
"Lin Qiubai's wind realm is barely acceptable, but can he really keep dodging like a turtle?"
"There might be some truth to that. After all, they've been hiding for three days now, haha..."
Seeing Lin Qiubai's momentum suppressed by Gu Lie's Sword Intent, like a rock that could be blasted away at any moment in turbulent waters, the new students were extremely pleased and openly mocked him.
The upperclassmen also wore smiles as if victory was assured, looking at Lin Qiubai with pity as if he were a defeated foe.
"You better give it your all; otherwise, you'll lose very quickly!"
Gu Lie raised his arm lightly, and in the next moment, his arm transformed into countless afterimages, slashing out hundreds of blades in the air.
Every strike raised a wave of fresh blood coalescing into a Longsword, cascading down and enveloping the space where Lin Qiubai stood.
"Gu Lie's renowned sword technique, the Heaven-Toppling Blade!"
The Upperclassmen's gazes sharpened; this move was like a thousand-zhang waterfall of blades, capable of shattering anyone who dared to block it, truly perilous.
No one expected Gu Lie to unleash such a fierce and ruthless technique right from the start.
"It seems this battle will end with Lin Qiubai sporting several dozen bloody holes!"
One Upperclassman smirked slightly; their intention was to make an example of Lin Qiubai, leaving him riddled with wounds as the best warning.
From then on, no new student would dare provoke the Upperclassmen!
"Haha, Lin Qiubai is completely stunned, not even daring to fight back. Truly a clown seeking attention. With such strength, how dare he take on any Counter-Strike missions?"
"His brain must be rusty, provoking a strong opponent to fix his issues."
The new students all mocked and derided him.
Only Gu Lie, standing at the center of the battlefield, felt his pupils constrict sharply, his heart racing wildly. His keen sense of danger prompted him to retreat swiftly on his toes.
However,
It was already too late.
Lin Qiubai's speed was astonishing, not even leaving behind an afterimage.
In an instant, the Silver Spear came crashing down on Gu Lie's chest.
It felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Ugh!"
Gu Lie let out a muffled groan, as if his breath had been choked for three seconds. This heavy strike pinned him to the Void. After a moment, he was finally sent flying backward, tumbling out of the Arena and leaving a ten-meter-long skid mark behind...
In almost no time, the entire area around the Arena fell into silence.
Even the raging flames of the blade that had been erupting from where Lin Qiubai stood were extinguished in that moment.
Once again!
The new students were left in utter shock, their emotions difficult to calm.
Another defeat in a single move!
In the imperial capital, the legend of Lin Qiubai defeating opponents with one strike was widely known, even woven into the tales of the Storyteller.
Who could have imagined that at the Holy Sect, Lin Qiubai could continue this myth?!
So terrifying!
One must ask, which Saint Sect Disciple is not among the top talents of the Heavenly Pride?
Those who enter Holy Sect for cultivation have all undergone rigorous assessments; their talents and Martial Will are anything but ordinary.
Especially Gu Lie, who has been in seclusion at the Holy Sect for a year.
He has practiced for an additional year!
Yet he was still defeated in one move by Lin Qiubai.
Whether they were freshmen or upperclassmen, everyone found it hard to accept, feeling a dryness in their throats and unable to stop swallowing.
Due to the mechanical repetition of swallowing, their throats began to ache slightly.
This shock was beyond words.
Over a hundred upperclassmen suddenly straightened their chests, leaning forward with complex expressions as they looked at Lin Qiubai.
Clearly, they felt that they could not withstand Lin Qiubai's techniques either.
The speed was too fast, and the angle of the strike was too tricky...
That shot seemed plain and simple, yet it carried a terrifying power capable of suppressing any situation. Even if an opponent attempted dozens of moves in the blink of an eye to block it, they would be instantly crushed.
This was absolute strength.
"I lost?"
Gu Lie stared blankly for a long time before a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. He murmured in a daze.
"If this were a life-and-death battle right now, you wouldn't survive three breaths. So there's no need to dwell on your loss."
"After all, you and I are no longer on the same level."
Lin Qiubai sheathed the Sacred Spear, shook his head, and swept down from the Arena amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"Brother Lin's perfect start has us all fired up!"
Ye Hui's face flushed, with excitement surging within him!
The other youths also had shining eyes filled with enthusiasm!
Lin Qiubai's overwhelming performance ignited their fighting spirit. The desire for battle in their hearts could no longer be contained.
"It's my turn now. I'm going to fight first!"
Seeing a battle come to an end, Zhuang Bifan released his momentum, blocking Yuan Chonghuan and the others, then shot into the Arena like a cannonball.
He turned around leisurely, his gaze landing on Gu Lie, and with a dismissive gesture of his finger, imitating Lin Qiubai's indifferent tone, he shouted loudly, "The strongest Upperclassman in combat power, get up here!"
Lin Qiubai couldn't help but chuckle. Is he trying to imitate me?
