Time Manipulating System-Chapter 86
Chapter 86
“You’re Gu Yang?”
At that moment, a burly man with a bare upper body stood up. His gaze toward Gu Yang carried unmistakable arrogance. His blood and qi surged violently, and just by standing there, he resembled a small mountain, pressing down on everyone around him.
And he…
was the Fist Demon, ranked fifth on the Talent List.
The Fist Demon had no name.
He was born in a mountain range filled with endless demonic beasts, with the sky as his father and the earth as his mother. One could say he grew up drinking the blood of beasts.
He was also the most unusual figure among the top ten talents.
He possessed no spiritual energy and no true essence.
He relied entirely on his terrifying physical body to force his way into the top ten.
His fists were so tough…
none of the top ten dared to take a direct hit.
“Hey! I’m talking to you! Didn’t you hear me!?”
When the Fist Demon saw Gu Yang ignore him, he roared in fury.
Hearing his shout, several people nearby immediately revealed amused expressions.
They all knew the Fist Demon’s personality…extremely arrogant and aggressively combative.
He had challenged every single person in the top ten.
He won six fights and lost four, which placed him at rank five.
If the Fist Demon set his sights on you…
you had better have some real strength.
Otherwise… you were in for a beating.
“Do I know you?”
Gu Yang glanced at him calmly.
Li Tianming panicked and tugged at Gu Yang’s sleeve, his face full of fear.
This place was filled with the elites of the elites!
And the Fist Demon was ranked fifth!
For Gu Yang to offend him the moment he arrived…
was definitely not a good thing.
Others also cast curious, entertained looks their way…
including the top ten talents.
“That’s Gu Yang?”
Lü Xinghe’s eyes glimmered faintly as he examined Gu Yang with interest.
But when he sensed that Gu Yang truly only had the cultivation of the Tenth Level of the Condensed True Realm, he couldn’t help feeling shocked.
Among the entire top twenty…
Gu Yang was the only one at the Condensed True Realm.
He was the only person with such a low cultivation to enter the top twenty.
Even Lü Xinghe felt shaken.
On the other side, Bai Tianhong…the number one on the Talent List…didn’t even open his eyes.
He leaned against a tree with his eyes closed, as if the conflict around him had nothing to do with him.
“Interesting, kid… you’re pretty arrogant.”
“I just wonder if you’ll still act this arrogant once you enter the secret realm.”
The Fist Demon narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing within them.
Clearly, he already held hostility toward Gu Yang and planned to teach him a lesson once they entered the Purple Moon Secret Realm.
The Purple Moon Secret Realm belonged to the Chu royal family.
All of them were invited guests.
Outside the secret realm, fighting was forbidden…killing even more so.
Anyone who broke the rule would lose their qualification to enter.
Even though the Fist Demon only knew how to fight, he still understood one thing…
he could fight, but not now.
Gu Yang, however, couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Meanwhile…
On the peak of a nearby mountain stood a luxurious palace.
Inside, a massive square crystal sat at the center of the hall.
The crystal displayed the scene at the entrance of the Purple Moon Secret Realm…
including the confrontation between Gu Yang and the Fist Demon.
“I didn’t expect the Fist Demon to target Gu Yang the moment he arrived. Gu Yang is in for trouble,” the Third Prince said with a frown.
“Everyone knows the Fist Demon is violent and loves to fight. Gu Yang’s reputation in Chu is huge now. The Fist Demon must have heard of him and came looking for him,” the Second Prince analyzed.
“But judging from Gu Yang’s expression… he doesn’t seem to care about the Fist Demon at all,” the First Prince remarked.
The Fist Demon’s ferocity was infamous.
Aside from the top four, everyone near the top ten had been beaten by him.
His strength was undeniable.
For Gu Yang to show no fear surprised all the princes.
But Princess Chu Linger had a completely different thought.
Why should Gu Yang fear the Fist Demon?
Gu Yang might be young, but the strength he displayed was definitely not weak.
He might not be inferior at all.
Chu Linger kept her gaze fixed on Gu Yang.
For some reason, she found his aura extremely compelling.
Perhaps… because they were close in age?
“It should be about time.”
“Old He should appear soon.”
The princes stared intently at the crystal.
Just then, as the top talents silently waited, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared.
He wore a black robe, and on his chest hung a jade plaque with purple-gold edges…
the symbol of the Chu royal family.
The black‑robed figure landed before them, revealing the face of an elderly man past fifty, with graying hair and deep wrinkles.
But his spirit was sharp, and his eyes were as keen as an eagle’s.
His arrival instantly made everyone straighten up.
They all stood and looked toward the royal elder.
“Hehe, it seems all of you arrived quite early.”
“You should all be here, yes?”
The elder smiled as he swept his gaze across the group.
His eyes paused briefly on Gu Yang, then moved on, lingering a moment longer on Bai Tianhong before withdrawing.
“Good. Since everyone is here, the Purple Moon Secret Realm will open shortly.”
“Before you enter, I must explain a few things.”
“The secret realm will remain open for only three days.”
“After three days, it will automatically send you back here.”
“Although the Purple Moon Secret Realm belongs to the Chu royal family, any opportunities you obtain inside belong entirely to you. You do not need to hand anything over.”
“As for fighting… the secret realm is full of danger. If you lose your life, then it’s simply your bad luck.”
A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on the elder’s face.
His meaning was clear…
whatever happened inside the Purple Moon Secret Realm,
whoever lived or died…
had nothing to do with the Chu royal family.
The moment he finished speaking, many of the young elites tensed.
If several people discovered the same opportunity at once, they would inevitably fight over it.
Since there were no restrictions…
this trip into the Purple Moon Secret Realm would likely become extremely brutal.
But none of the gathered prodigies showed fear.
The path of cultivation meant fighting the heavens and competing with others.
If they were afraid of even this, how could they call themselves prodigies?
Rumble!
Not long after the elder finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled.
His expression turned solemn.
“Everyone, prepare yourselves.
The Purple Moon Secret Realm is about to open!”
When he finished, anticipation appeared on every face.
The next moment, a pillar of purple light shot up from underground.
Then…
a massive pure‑gold gate slowly rose along the beam of light, fully revealing itself before everyone.
Majestic.
Grand.
Heavy.
Everyone stared at the golden gate with awe.
At the same time, the elder didn’t hesitate.
He flicked his finger, sending a streak of purple‑gold light shooting toward the gate.
Chi!
Light burst forth.
The golden gate seemed to activate and slowly began to open.
White radiance spilled out as the tightly sealed gate gradually shifted into a half‑open state.
