"Is he really coming back?"
"I hope he does."
"Who knows?"
At the eastern side of the Jade Capital Riverbank, Jiang Anbo gazed at Gu Ping with a somewhat infatuated look. He nudged Gu Ping and Yi Dong, asking, "So, what do you think? Is she pretty?"
"Pretty, of course. But not as pretty as Red Maiden."
Seeing Gu Ping earnestly spouting nonsense, Hong Ling covered her face and laughed. Having only been in Tiandong City for a day, she had already encountered such interesting people. Jie Donglai's Yuezi was certainly not lacking in entertainment.
"Ah, he just said that many people challenge that guy. There are plenty who challenge me, the one ranked thirtieth on the Heavenly Ranking. Aren't those people just clearly bullying the weak?"
Gu Ping pointed at Jiang Anbo. Although it was meant as a joke, among the four present, Jiang Anbo had the weakest strength. If they weren't teasing him, who else would they tease?
"What do you mean by that? I said Minghong! Who's weak? Who's weak?"
Upon hearing Gu Ping's words, Jiang Anbo became displeased. After all, he was a Golden Core Mid-Stage High Leg. How could it be that in Gu Ping's mouth, he turned into a worthless red vegetable?
"There are indeed some who are weak; most of Bu Luo don't have much ability and were rejected by him."
Hong Yulong stared at Gu Ping, looking as if he hadn't had enough from yesterday's battle and was eager to continue fighting.
"What about the remaining ones? There must be a few capable ones, right?"
"Indeed," Hong Ling replied, pulling out a challenge letter from her robe and handing it to Gu Ping. It was a challenge from Xu Qiaoshan of the Yangzhou Wind and Thunder Pavilion, ranked thirty-first on the Heavenly Ranking. Keke glanced at the ranking and felt a pang of dissatisfaction, realizing she was being overshadowed by a junior from the Golden Core Stage. The challenge had arrived before they even knew it; Xu Qiaoshan was likely on his way.
"Thirty-first on the Heavenly Ranking? That's quite impressive. Do you think we have a chance?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that ranking should be reliable," Hong Yulong answered seriously.
Gu Ping understood that although Hong Yulong was strong at the Golden Core Mid-Stage, he would still find it challenging against those at the Peak of Nascent Soul. Just like Gu Ping himself, if he didn't possess a secret technique like Radiant Body, even with a True Artifact, he wouldn't stand a chance against those Divine Cultivators. After all, their foundations were fundamentally different.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so humble," Gu Ping remarked.
"What? Are you saying I'm not capable?"
Seeing Hong Yulong's eager demeanor as if he wanted to provoke a fight, Gu Ping thought better of it. If things escalated, given Hong Yulong's strength, he might expose some flaws. Especially with techniques like Light Cutting Technique; even if their spiritual powers differed, Hong Yulong would recognize them. That would make it impossible for Gu Ping to use that technique again in the near future.
Noticing that Gu Ping remained silent, Hong Ling and the others assumed he had conceded. Little did they know that Gu Ping and Yan Dong were contemplating which techniques could be used and which could not.
"Hmm..."
"The Overlord Sword is an option," Gu Ping thought to himself. That move, derived from his insights into Chaos Foundation, unleashed the overwhelming power of Chaos Power to its fullest extent. The explosive force at that moment made it difficult for anyone to counter unless they were a practitioner at least one major level above him. Otherwise, even Hong Yulong wouldn't dare to take that blow head-on.
The enigmatic Zhi Tian Ya spell was also an option. Although it had transcended the realm of mere spells, calling it a technique would not be an exaggeration. Bu Luo could serve as one of Gu Ping and Yan Dong's Killing Legs in this context.
The sudden attack that transcended time and space was utterly unpredictable. Even someone like Shen Shixing, a practitioner at the Integration Stage, was left with insufficient time to escape the predicament and had no choice but to take Gu Ping's sword strike head-on.
With his vast Divine Sense swirling in his mind, Gu Ping suddenly recalled the remnants of the Original Celestial Demon’s memory, which contained the foundational heart sutra. It included a method for cultivating Divine Sense, using it as an offensive technique.
Gu Ping had always been cautious about this knowledge from the Original Celestial Demon and Liu Dong's memories, fearing that he might end up resembling that old demon in appearance and demeanor.
It seemed he needed to find a better cultivation method for Divine Sense. Just as he was thinking this, they arrived at the entrance of the Universe Hall. Before Gu Ping and his companions could enter the Grand Arena, they encountered Shen Shixing, who wore a look of frustration as he stared at Gu Ping, as if Gu Ping owed him a significant amount of money.
"I don't deny," he said, "that Chang Lan over there looks like someone who has accumulated a mountain of debt."
Hearing Gu Ping's words, Jiang Anbo felt that ever since he met Gu Ping that day, something about him had changed. However, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different; it was as if Gu Ping had become more talkative or perhaps more relatable.
Jiang Anbo vividly remembered their first encounter when Gu Ping's cold gaze felt like that of a lofty deity looking down upon mere ants, completely disregarding them as equals.
Now, although it was unclear whether Gu Ping had inadvertently revealed genuine emotions or was intentionally acting in a way to differentiate himself from Jiang Ping, Jiang Anbo found himself preferring this more talkative version of Jiang Ping. In contrast, the usually silent and observant Gu Ping seemed like two entirely different people standing before him.
Though their understanding of each other was limited, Jiang Anbo could sense that Yan Dong's Gu Ping was much more relaxed than before. He wondered what experiences Gu Ping had gone through on the Righteous and Evil Battlefield that might have led to these changes.
