Chapter 234

In the end, Gu Ding agreed to the muscular man's challenge.

A Deity Position, even if it was damaged, was enough to cause many demigods to fight over it. This was because having a Deity Position meant that one could directly ascend from demigod to deity. This was not a random guess, but a fact that had been confirmed by many humans throughout history.

Almost since ancient times, there had been people who ascended to deity status by devouring Deity Positions. This was clearly recorded in history. Moreover, there were more than twenty recorded stories of people ascending to deity status by devouring Deity Positions from ancient times to modern times.

In addition to these historical stories, in this era, there was also a man named Lucky in the Cosmic Sea who ascended to deity status by devouring Deity Positions. Therefore, no one doubted the feasibility of ascending to deity status using this method.

This Deity Position was not very useful to Gu Ding. This was because all the members of the crew were still far from ascending to deity status. Moreover, once someone devoured another's Deity Position, unless they stripped it off and condensed their own Deity Position, their cultivation would be limited by the Deity Position they devoured. Devouring Deity Positions was a choice made by demigods who had determined that they were unlikely to ascend to deity status before the end of their lifespan. Gu Ding agreed to the challenge because he had other plans for this Deity Position.

The muscular man's name was Marceau, and he was an Interstellar Hunter with a Rank-13 gene level. He was not weak, and he was somewhat famous in the Interstellar Hunter circle. However, he had barely captured any famous Interstellar Pirates in his eight hundred years of career. Of course, it was not that the pirates he captured were weak. In fact, he had also captured Interstellar Pirates with a bounty of more than eight billion Universe Credits. However, being famous and having a high bounty were not the same thing.

Kohld Blood's bounty was also higher than Gu Ding's, but he was not as famous as Gu Ding. Of course, he was also a very popular Interstellar Pirate recently, but people did not pay as much attention to him as Gu Ding. Marceau had never caught a guy who had a high exposure rate. She had never even seen a guy like Gu Ding who had such a high exposure rate.

Of course, with the other members of Gu Ding's crew around, he knew that his chances of catching Gu Ding were close to zero. That was why he proposed a challenge. As long as he won, even if he did not catch Gu Ding, his reputation would definitely increase greatly. Not only that, but the Childe family had also secretly gathered sixteen Interstellar Hunters, including himself, and told them that if they could drive Gu Ding out of Red Shield, they would be rewarded with double the bounty on Gu Ding's head. Moreover, he would enjoy premium VIP treatment in the Childe family, with a 20% discount on all Childe family products. This was a treatment only demigods could enjoy.

That was why he had made the condition in the beginning. If Gu Ding lost, he would have to leave Red Shield immediately and never set foot on it again. In fact, when he said that, Gu Ding already knew that he must have been sent by the Childe family.

He had to admit that he was a little anxious when Gu Ding rejected his challenge. However, he also felt a little strange. In that situation, he could have lied or something, but he had unconsciously blurted out the truth. He had originally planned to keep the Deity Position for himself because he was not far from becoming a demigod. After he blurted out the secret, he immediately understood that even if he won the challenge against Gu Ding, he would not be able to keep the Deity Position.

Gu Ding took a step forward, and the crowd around him spread out to watch from afar.

Lilliath and the others also retreated a hundred meters away to avoid being affected by the battle.

If Gu Ding had not been promoted to a Rank-7 Gene Body, he would not have had any chance of winning this battle. Fortunately, he had been promoted to Rank-7, and he now had Rank-13 combat effectiveness. This time, his opponent was also a melee combat cultivator, and his gene level was at the peak of Rank-13. This was going to be a hearty hand-to-hand fight.

Gu Ding's Ultimate Arts Level 12 was fully activated, and the amplification of his Bronze Grade Combat Armor and Rage Attack Level 3 was also activated at the same time. His basic combat effectiveness of one million points was instantly increased to 6.4 billion points. Coupled with the special effect of the martial arts field, his combat effectiveness could be said to have broken through the ten billion mark. Coupled with the Damage Stacking effect, it was enough to increase his maximum combat effectiveness to more than 50 billion points.

Looking at Gu Ding's thin body, it looked a lot stronger with the support of his muscles.

The corner of Marceau's mouth curled up. His originally knotted muscles instantly propped up again, and his entire body was much bigger than before. At the same time, in addition to his muscles, his bones also changed. His height also skyrocketed from more than two meters to more than two and a half meters.

"It doesn't look good. This guy's ability is called Gigantification, which is similar to Fury. His Strength and Defense tripled in an instant. His basic combat power was already around 95 billion points, but now, his Strength and Defense tripled. Now his combat effectiveness has been directly increased to more than 280 billion … "Neptune was slightly worried for Gu Ding. "Are you sure you don't want to use that move?"

"There's no need to show all of my strength at a time like this. Since I can't crush him with strength, I'll crush him with skill. "Gu Ding obviously intended to hold back.

A faint golden Righteous Force seeped out of Gu Ding's body and instantly covered his entire body. Almost at the moment when it was completely covered, Gu Ding's figure suddenly disappeared.

He did not rely on speed, but the ultimate skill of the twelfth level Silent Step. His movement speed was comparable to the special ability of teleportation, and even Biggie could not catch him.

The position where Gu Ding flashed was the left side of his opponent's head. Gu Ding's figure jumped high, his body upside down, and his Terminating Finger carried a terrifying golden Righteous Force. It was like a meteor heading straight for his opponent's left temple. His movements were so beautiful that they couldn't be any more beautiful. The aesthetics of close combat were used to the extreme in his moves.

"This move is so beautiful, I want to learn it too!!!" Elsa could not help but exclaim.

Only then did Lilliath notice that it seemed that from the beginning when she met Gu Ding, his moves were clean and beautiful. However, now that he was dyed by the golden Righteous Force, his originally elegant moves became even more beautiful. However, she still curled her lips and complained, "The moves are beautiful, but this is not a performance, it's a real fight."

"This move of his is very practical," Biggie explained, "Don't think that his handstand is a useless performance. In fact, this move basically avoids the opponent's immediate counterattack. Due to his opponent's large size, the distance from Gu Ding's shoulder to his head is shorter than his opponent's. His target was the temple. Everyone's first instinct would be to dodge and then swing their left arms straight out to counterattack. However, a straight swing would not be able to hit Gu Ding. If the opponent wants to hit him, they can't rely on instinct. They have to readjust their left arm through their brain and move the angle of their left arm up. This way, the opponent's movements will slow down, and by the time they react, Gu Ding will already be out of their attack range. "

Gu Ding's first attack was naturally not going to let go of the curse of Damage Stacking. However, an attack of more than ten billion was almost like an itch to Marceau, whose combat effectiveness was close to three hundred billion. However, for Gu Ding, this was just a warm-up.

After the first attack, he did not stop at all. His figure disappeared again in an instant and flashed to the opponent's right. His right elbow violently hit the opponent's lower right ribs, and his figure disappeared again.

Before Marceau could react, Gu Ding had quietly appeared behind him. His entire fist was completely wrapped in a dazzling golden glow, just like a small star. The fierce Steel Fist carried the scorching star as it spilled out terrifyingly at the back of the opponent's head.

This attack made Marceau dizzy, and even his vision blurred.

Gu Ding seemed to have expected this. His figure suddenly flashed in front of Marceau, and with both hands on the ground, his body violently twisted and jumped up. In an instant, the tip of his foot, which carried the golden Righteous Force, violently hit Marceau's throat three times.

During the last blow, there was a clear cracking sound of the throat bone breaking.

Marceau's body instantly leaned back after receiving such a heavy blow. The intense pain made him cover his throat, and he even had no strength to control his falling body.

However, Gu Ding knew that this level was not enough to make the opponent completely lose the ability to fight and admit defeat, so Gu Ding's figure flashed again. This time, he appeared behind the opponent again, stretched out two fingers, and blasted three consecutive Terminating Fingers, which bombarded the back of Marceau's neck at lightning speed.

A sharp pain came from the back of Marceau's neck. His vision suddenly went black, and he fainted.

Gu Ding's continuous attacks were almost a perfect suppression. Although it was not the kind of violent suppression that he had been in the past, this battle showed everyone how terrifying he was. All the places he attacked were the weakest and most vital parts of the human body.

The defense of these parts was dozens or even hundreds of times lower than the defense of other parts of the body. Moreover, after being hit, there would be some special effects, which was why Gu Ding was able to hit him so easily.

Marceau had already fainted, so the result of this battle was self-evident.

The video of the battle was also recorded by many people. Neptune blocked their communication, but it did not block any other functions.

Gu Ding's movements in this battle were far more beautiful than any of his previous battles. In the past, most of the time, he crushed his opponent with strength, and there was no need to use so many fancy moves. However, in this battle, Gu Ding's defense could not even take a single blow from the opponent, so he could only use this method.

Looking at the fainted Marceau, who had already returned to his original size, Gu Ding walked over.

"His body is fine, but he's in a coma because of your attack on the back of his neck. As for the most serious injury on his body, it's only a broken laryngeal bone. He only needs to drink some cell repair agent and recuperate for a few days. "Neptune scanned Marceau's body and came to this conclusion.

Gu Ding took out the anti-magic handcuffs made by Robert from the Inventory and locked Marceau's hands. Then, he sat aside and waited for the other to wake up.
