Chapter 48: Comparing Cultivation? Is He Even Worthy!
As soon as the Baiyang Sect Grand Elder spoke these words,
the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder laughed in sheer anger.
Demanding accountability?
And severe punishment?
“Heh, Elder Bai, don’t be too shameless!”
“Who was it just now? Who said injuries are inevitable in sparring?”
“What? Have you forgotten already?”
The Liuyun Sect Grand Elder sneered mockingly.
Hearing the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder’s taunts, the Baiyang Sect Grand Elder was left speechless.
He had indeed said those words.
He just hadn’t expected…
that Lin Shuhe would be the one with his leg kicked broken by Gu Yang.
But he refused to admit he was wrong.
Stiffening his neck, he shouted, “Bullshit!”
“How can a third level Ningzhen Realm compare to our Baiyang Sect’s third-ranked core disciple?”
“Lin Shuhe is at the tenth level of the Ningzhen Realm!”
“Gu Yang’s actions undoubtedly destroyed a future Baoyuan Realm practitioner!”
“So he must be severely punished!”
He completely ignored his previous statements, instead solely emphasizing Lin Shuhe’s importance.
To this, the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder coldly retorted,
“I think you’re the one spouting bullshit!”
“Comparing cultivation?”
“Then your Baiyang Sect’s Lin Shuhe is even more of a trash! Not only is his cultivation seven levels higher than Gu Yang’s, but he was also crushed by junior Gu Yang in his own specialized leg technique, even getting his leg kicked broken!”
“I think you should just start making funeral arrangements for your so-called third-ranked core disciple. After this battle, I’m afraid he’ll never stand again.”
After speaking, the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder laughed heartily with satisfaction.
So satisfying!
Damn satisfying!
Serves you right, you old fool, for constantly mocking me earlier!
And for relentlessly belittling Gu Yang.
Feeling comfortable now?
“You!”
The Liuyun Sect Grand Elder’s words made the Baiyang Sect Grand Elder’s face turn livid with rage.
Yet he couldn’t utter a single word in rebuttal.
After all…
everything the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder said was true.
How could he refute that?
He clenched his fists, feeling utterly aggrieved.
This, in turn, made the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder’s mood even more cheerful.
The other two Grand Elders nearby also looked on with strange expressions.
They gazed somewhat enviously at the Liuyun Sect Grand Elder.
Their hearts were filled with emotion.
“A third level Ningzhen Realm defeating a tenth level Ningzhen Realm across levels… This young man has an unlimited future!”
“And this is without him using his specialized techniques.”
“If he employed his full fist and sword techniques… wouldn’t he be able to compete with the top core disciple?”
Their eyes burned intensely.
They fantasized about how great it would be if Gu Yang were a disciple of their sect!
Meanwhile,
the elder presiding over Arena Five took a long time to recover from his shock.
He felt almost numb.
This Gu Yang…
was simply too monstrous.
Previously, punching away Zhang Huairu was one thing.
After all, Zhang Huairu was only the tenth-ranked core disciple, not exceptionally strong.
But this time… he had defeated the Baiyang Sect’s third-ranked core disciple!
In terms of strength…
barring surprises, he should undoubtedly secure a top-two position in the fifth group.
But now…
the situation had changed.
Lin Shuhe’s knee was completely shattered.
Even if he had a chance to challenge for second place later…
he likely no longer had that opportunity!
Precisely because of this, the elder felt immensely shocked.
Was this really the strength a third level Ningzhen Realm core disciple could display?
Amidst his shock and emotion, the judge elder immediately announced the result loudly.
“Liuyun Sect’s Gu Yang… wins!”
The moment the elder announced the result,
countless gazes turned from the other four arenas.
These included the top and second-ranked core disciples from the major sects.
And their eyes…
were all fixed on Gu Yang.
“Junior Brother Gu… his strength is actually this astounding?”
Liu Tianxiang’s face was also full of shock.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected either…
that Gu Yang’s strength was so terrifying.
He had even kicked and shattered the knee of Baiyang Sect’s Lin Shuhe.
The core disciples from Frostwind Sect and North Snow Sect examined Gu Yang with keen interest,
seemingly trying to discern the reason for his immense strength.
As for the Baiyang Sect’s top and second-ranked core disciples, Yun Hai and Shen Dong, their eyes now burned with killing intent toward Gu Yang.
Gu Yang’s ruthless actions had naturally ignited fury within them.
They clenched their fists.
It now seemed certain that Gu Yang would enter the top two of his group.
Which meant…
Gu Yang would likely face them in the next round!
At that time…
they would definitely teach him a lesson!
At the very least, they would break his arms and legs!
To avenge Lin Shuhe’s broken leg!
If Gu Yang’s defeat of North Snow Sect’s tenth-ranked Zhang Huairu had shocked the audience and made everyone marvel at his prodigious talent,
then his subsequent defeat of Lin Shuhe
directly earned him the respect of the entire arena!
Because this also signified that…
Gu Yang’s strength was fully comparable to a second-ranked core disciple!
After all, Gu Yang hadn’t even used his full strength yet!
And the true strength of the third-ranked Lin Shuhe wasn’t far from that of a second-ranked disciple!
Since Gu Yang could kick and shatter Lin Shuhe’s knee, he could naturally defeat other second-ranked core disciples!
Unconsciously, the gazes of all the surrounding North Snow Sect inner disciples present fell upon Gu Yang.
They were completely captivated by him now.
Too fierce!
Merely at the third level of the Ningzhen Realm,
yet he had consecutively defeated opponents across levels!
And his opponents were getting stronger and stronger!
To them, the always lofty top and second-ranked core disciples naturally felt less relatable than a ‘grassroots’ like Gu Yang.
Thus, they actually began to harbor expectations for Gu Yang.
They hoped Gu Yang would press forward relentlessly in the subsequent battles, defeating all opponents!
Even…
securing a top-three position!
Of course, this was just their wild dream.
After all, the top core disciples of the four major sects were not to be trifled with.
They could only imagine.
As the matter concluded, this round of battles also ended quickly.
Although the opponents’ strengths were more evenly matched as the competition progressed, making the matches more exciting and time-consuming,
the number of rounds actually decreased.
Overall, the time consumed became less and less.
With the end of this round, the list of the top four in each group was soon determined.
Of course, this wasn’t completely over yet.
The next round… was the key to determining who would advance to the final round!
The fight for the top two in each group!
However, regarding the upcoming matches, the other four groups seemed relatively relaxed.
After all… for them, the battle was already over.
Barring surprises, aside from the fourth group, the other three groups would see their top and second-ranked core disciples advance together.
Although the fourth group lacked a second-ranked disciple, the Liuyun Sect’s third-ranked core disciple, Li Xiao, had demonstrated strength no weaker than a second-ranked disciple!
Barring surprises… Li Xiao would secure the other spot in the fourth group.
As for the final fifth group…
there seemed to be a hint of suspense.
But also perhaps not.
The specifics…
would depend on the results of the upcoming matches.
Soon, the final round was about to begin.
The judge elder of Arena Five cleared his throat lightly.
Then, he drew the names for this match.
Seeing the names on the list, the judge elder paused for a moment.
Then, he slowly announced,
“The first match: Liuyun Sect’s Gu Yun versus Liuyun Sect’s… Gu Yang!”
Whoosh!
As soon as the judge elder finished speaking, it caused an uproar.
Two disciples from the Liuyun Sect were facing each other.
And one was the Liuyun Sect’s second-ranked core disciple.
The other…
was the super dark horse of this core disciple competition!
Gu Yang!
It had to be said that such a match, which promised to be thrilling, instantly attracted countless gazes.
Even core disciples from other arenas who had finished their matches turned their eyes to Arena Five.
Their eyes were full of anticipation.
After all…
due to Lin Shuhe having his knee kicked shattered by Gu Yang, the situation in the fifth group was now quite clear.
The top two would undoubtedly be Gu Yang and Gu Yun.
But they were also very curious.
Did Gu Yang truly possess the strength to defeat a second-ranked core disciple?
Or rather…
they wanted to see if Gu Yang had the ability to challenge a top-ranked core disciple!
Although it might seem similar, there was actually a significant difference!
Being able to defeat a second-ranked disciple didn’t necessarily mean being able to defeat the top disciple!
The gap between the top and second-ranked core disciples was still very vast.
So this battle… was destined to draw everyone’s attention!
