Time Manipulating System-Chapter 49 - One Punch Defeats Gu Yun! The White Sun Sect Elder's Killing Intent!
Chapter 49: One Punch Defeats Gu Yun! The White Sun Sect Elder’s Killing Intent!
If Gu Yang could win effortlessly…
it would mean he absolutely possessed the capability to challenge for the top spot among the true disciples.
If he won with great difficulty…
then perhaps he had no chance.
As for who would win…
that required little thought.
After all, Gu Yang had kicked and shattered Lin Shuhe’s knee.
This was something even Gu Yun, the second-ranked true disciple, could not accomplish!
Who was stronger and who was weaker was obvious at a glance.
On the dueling ground.
Gu Yun and Gu Yang stood facing each other.
“Congratulations, Gu Yang. I never expected you to reach the top ten in your first true disciple tournament.”
“And… the strength you’ve displayed has stunned and surprised countless people, myself included.”
“To be honest, in terms of strength, I am likely inferior to you.”
“However… I still wish to try!”
Gu Yun’s gaze fixed intently on Gu Yang.
The posture he adopted was not one of superiority.
Instead, he assumed the stance of a challenger!
He clearly knew he was no match for Gu Yang.
But he still wanted to challenge himself!
“Alright.”
Gu Yang gave a slight nod to Gu Yun’s words and did not refuse.
“Then… I won’t hold back!”
Gu Yun took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly sharpened.
His zhenqi erupted explosively throughout his body!
The aura of the tenth level of the Condensed Truth realm instantly enveloped the entire dueling ground.
Gu Yun’s combat experience was considerable.
Knowing that his only potential advantage over Gu Yang was his zhenqi…
he chose to first use the imposing momentum generated by his zhenqi eruption to suppress Gu Yang.
Then he would attack!
This might achieve an unexpected effect!
But unfortunately…
he faced Gu Yang.
Gu Yang remained completely unaffected.
He moved freely around the arena.
He raised his fist and threw a punch towards Gu Yun.
Gu Yun’s face paled.
Such terrifying power… even he dared not receive it recklessly!
Leveraging his advantage, he dodged and weaved, avoiding Gu Yang’s attacks.
Although Gu Yang never laid a finger on him throughout…
his expression grew increasingly grim!
Helplessness!
A profound sense of helplessness!
Gu Yang still wasn’t using zhenqi!
Nor was he employing any martial techniques or intent power!
He was purely relying on his steel-like physique and that terrifying strength to fight him!
Yet even so… he was already suffocating under the pressure!
His zhenqi was depleting rapidly.
This way… Gu Yang would inevitably exhaust him to death!
But this wasn’t the scene he wanted to see.
Thinking this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Even if he lost, he had to lose respectably!
So he stopped evading.
He chose to confront head-on!
He would unleash his strongest technique to exchange one blow with Gu Yang!
He would exert his full effort!
Boom!
Gu Yun’s zhenqi erupted violently throughout his body.
Then he raised the refined steel sword in his hand and exhaled a deep breath.
Zhenqi surged fiercely into the sword.
Immediately, a sword cry resounded throughout the arena.
In the next moment, a profound sword intent quietly suffused the blade!
That was… two parts of sword intent!
He had held back from using his full means earlier because he wanted to test himself against Gu Yang.
To see if his strength could force Gu Yang to draw his sword or throw a serious punch.
It seemed now…
he had overestimated himself.
So, left with no choice!
He opted for one final attempt!
A perfected-grade Earth lower-tier sword technique!
Two parts of sword intent!
And the zhenqi of the tenth level of the Condensed Truth realm!
With everything unleashed…
surely even Gu Yang would need to employ some means to counter it?
Thinking this, he let out a loud cry.
The long sword erupted with incredibly terrifying sword power.
Its target was pointed directly at Gu Yang!
Witnessing this scene.
Gu Yang’s expression remained utterly calm.
Watching Gu Yun’s sword strike.
He slowly raised his fist.
Terrifying power continuously gathered upon it.
The next moment.
Gu Yang swung his fist.
Exactly the same as before.
Without any flashy techniques.
Without zhenqi.
And without fist intent!
It was still a simple punch.
Just swung out plainly and simply.
But this time…
a dragon’s roar, louder than any before, reverberated across the entire venue!
For a moment, even space itself seemed to tremble!
Then…
the fist and the long sword collided violently!
Boom!
The terrifying impact actually shook the entire dueling ground, making it seem on the verge of collapse.
The referee elder nearby hastily employed his techniques to stabilize the arena.
Fortunately, the shockwave did not last long.
Gu Yun’s face changed color, and his sword-holding right arm trembled violently.
In the next instant, the long sword flew straight out of his grasp.
And Gu Yun himself, under the intense impact, was sent flying backwards.
He landed outside the arena.
Kicking up a cloud of dust.
“I have lost.”
Gu Yun sighed, looking at his nearly shattered sword, and spoke with emotion.
Lost!
Completely lost!
He was convinced!
Gu Yun accepted his defeat wholeheartedly!
The disparity in strength was too great.
The intensity of Gu Yang’s body refinement far exceeded his imagination.
And the power Gu Yang possessed was utterly terrifying!
This… was still with Gu Yang not using his full strength.
If he brought out all his means…
he might truly have a chance to threaten the position of the number one true disciple among the four sects!
“You were gracious.”
Gu Yang also cupped his hands slightly towards Gu Yun in acknowledgment.
Then he walked off the platform.
As for the referee elder, he couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Good heavens…
The power Gu Yang had just erupted with had almost been too much for even him to block!
This young man…
Just how terrifying was his strength?!
“Liu Yun Sect’s Gu Yang, victorious!”
He announced the result with feeling.
Immediately, waves of astonishment rose from the surrounding crowd.
“So terrifying!”
“He still only used his physical strength, and even the second-ranked true disciple Gu Yun was no match for him!”
“More than that, Gu Yun was completely suppressed throughout the normal fight. Even when he finally used his trump card, he still couldn’t withstand that one punch from Gu Yang…”
“I’m afraid Gu Yang truly possesses the ability to challenge for the top spot among the four sects’ true disciples!”
“The number one true disciples of the four sects should be feeling the pressure.”
As countless disciples sighed with emotion.
The number one true disciples of the four sects all fixed their gazes on Gu Yang.
Liu Tianxiang’s heart was also filled with immense shock, but more than that, joy.
After all, both Gu Yang and he were disciples of the Liu Yun Sect.
As for the Wind Frost Sect and North Snow Sect disciples, their expressions turned grave.
Clearly, they felt a sliver of pressure from Gu Yang.
The White Sun Sect’s Yun Hai.
His eyes held nothing but killing intent!
Killing intent so thick it was palpable!
“The Liu Yun Sect actually produced such a prodigy… He must be eliminated as soon as possible!”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
In the stands, the White Sun Sect’s Grand Elder revealed a similar expression.
After all, the talent Gu Yang had displayed today… posed far too great a threat!
Before long.
After the drawing of lots and matches concluded.
The challenge segment began immediately.
This segment allowed eliminated true disciples to choose and challenge a qualifying true disciple.
Victory would allow them to seize the qualification spot.
Of course, most true disciples had self-awareness; they knew clearly whether they could seize it or not.
So, after a round of simple challenges.
The list was officially finalized.
Group One: Naturally, Liu Yun Sect’s number one true disciple, Liu Tianxiang, and North Snow Sect’s number two true disciple, Yuan Chao.
Group Two: White Sun Sect’s number one, Yun Hai, and Wind Frost Sect’s number two, An Shangyuan.
Group Three: North Snow Sect’s number one, Chen Wu, and White Sun Sect’s number two, Shen Dong.
Group Four: Wind Frost Sect’s number one, Qi Tianhe, and Liu Yun Sect’s number three, Li Xiao.
Group Five was naturally Gu Yang and Gu Yun!
Although Gu Yun lost to Gu Yang.
He challenged another disciple in the subsequent challenge matches and won easily.
Thus, he naturally obtained the final spot.
The other groups, naturally, saw no surprises.
The number one and number two true disciples from each sect advanced.
As for the remaining two spots…
Before the true disciple tournament began, no one would have imagined…
a true disciple at the third level of the Condensed Truth realm would claim one of them.
And…
Regarding this spot, absolutely no one present felt there was any issue!
No one would question it.
Even the White Sun Sect, brimming with killing intent, had nothing to say.
Almost everyone looked at Gu Yang.
At this super dark horse who had emerged in this true disciple tournament!
One could imagine, if given two more years to grow…
by the next true disciple tournament, he might crush all opponents beneath his feet!
After all, Gu Yang… was only seventeen!
Everyone gazed at Gu Yang, sighing with deep emotion.
And soon.
Under the deliberation of several referee elders.
The final round of the championship was about to begin!
