Chapter 562

"Have I been in that state for a long time?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"Today is the 100th day. If you don't wake up, the Arena will judge you as a forfeit and deduct more than 130,000 points," Neptune said, feeling a little speechless. "However, it's rare for you to enter a state of epiphany. You've benefited a lot."

Only then did Gu Ding check his body and said in surprise, "5-star Lower Rank Deity?!"

"That's right. Your cultivation level has skyrocketed to the level of 5-star. Not only has your cultivation level changed, but your body's stats have also improved," Neptune said and projected Gu Ding's body stats again.

"My physical body level has improved so much? My spirit index has reached the level of an Extreme Rank Deity? "

Gu Ding was a little surprised. His combat effectiveness was barely at the level of a 4-star half-step True God, but now it was comparable to a 5-star half-step True God. If he used his Demon Face trump card, he could even kill a 6-star half-step True God.

"Alright, don't be surprised. Let's go out first. Don't miss the Arena," Neptune hurried.

Gu Ding wanted to go into seclusion for a while to familiarize himself with his power, but it was too late now. He went out of the Time Acceleration Hut, put away the hut, and pushed the door out of his cultivation room.

After leaving the Cultivation Tower, Gu Ding ran all the way to the Arena.

When he arrived, the arena was already packed with people. Many people had heard about Gu Ding's competition and had come to watch it. Some of them were challengers.

Flying was not allowed in the Arena. Gu Ding managed to squeeze his way through the crowd to the front desk. "I'm Gu Ding. Which ring is the match on?"

"You're arena number 1, why are you still here? There's less than a minute before the start of the match, "a tall female guardian at the service counter asked in surprise.

"I was held up by something …" Gu Ding was speechless.

"Follow me!" As the female keeper spoke, she pulled out the long blade in her hand and slashed out. A huge astral blade tore through the void, causing the crowd to frantically dodge in its path. Only then did she pull Gu Ding toward Ring 1. When they were not far from the ring, she threw Gu Ding out with all her might.

Although Gu Ding stood firmly in the ring, his heart was filled with admiration for the valiant female keeper of the order.

The few people who were affected by the energy saber originally wanted to find trouble with the saber wielder. However, when they saw that it was the keeper of the order, they did not dare to make a sound.

When Gu Ding stood in the ring, it was less than ten seconds before the start of the match.

After the referee asked Gu Ding to register, the match soon began.

Since Gu Ding had too many challengers, Gu Ding's opponents were randomly selected by the system each time. The first challenger in front of him had been selected by the system long ago. He had been standing in the ring for nearly five minutes. He had thought that Gu Ding would not come, but he did not expect Gu Ding to show up at the last minute.

Gu Ding looked at his opponent. It was a bald middle-aged man who was not very strong. He was a 5-star Lower Rank Deity and barely had the combat effectiveness of a Higher Rank Deity.

However, what Gu Ding did not know was that his match in the Arena was not only being watched by these people. The Warden, who was interested in him, three Guardian Commanders, and two powerful prisoners from the seventeenth floor were also secretly watching through online videos.

"Gu Ding. I've been hearing this name for some time. Today, I finally see you in person. You're really just a little kid." The bald middle-aged man smiled excitedly.

His words elicited laughter from many of the spectators below.

"You're unlucky to meet me first. Because not only will I defeat you, I'll also kill you." The bald middle-aged man's smile was a little ferocious. "I'm the only one who can deprive you of your honor. The guys behind you won't have a chance, hehehe …"

Below the ring, there was a sudden uproar when they heard this. Many people shouted, "Baldy, you're not allowed to kill him!"

Obviously, they did not want the bald middle-aged man to steal the limelight alone. Many of them had come to challenge Gu Ding because of his reputation. If Gu Ding died, they would not have the chance to use Gu Ding's name to prove their strength.

"Why are you boasting like that? He's obviously a very weak guy. " Gu Ding felt a little helpless. His opponent's strength was far inferior to Kapunsis, whom he had met in the Outland Battlefield.

Although his words were muttered in a low voice, everyone present heard it clearly.

The referee, who had been looking down at the time, suddenly announced, "Begin!"

Almost at the same time as his voice fell, the bald middle-aged man had already jumped up.

However, Gu Ding stood motionless.

A moment later, the bald middle-aged man's figure flickered and appeared in front of Gu Ding. He stretched out his claw toward Gu Ding's head.

Gu Ding did not move until his claw was less than a centimeter away from him.

"What happened? Is Gu Ding scared silly? " Many of the onlookers were puzzled. According to what they thought, Gu Ding should not be so weak.

"Too slow …" Gu Ding suddenly said.

In the next moment, the bald middle-aged man felt his throat tighten. His whole body was completely immobilized as he fell toward the ground of the ring.

"What happened?!" His heart was full of fear, but this thought only lasted for less than 0.1 seconds before it disappeared.

Many people present watched the scene in front of them with their mouths half-open. Most of them did not even see Gu Ding's movements clearly. They only saw the bald man attack, and then in the next moment, the bald man fell to the ground, smashing a big pit in the ring. No one knew if he was dead or alive. From the beginning to the end, Gu Ding did not seem to have made a move at all.

"This is too terrifying. It's said that even a powerhouse with Supreme Deity combat effectiveness could not leave a single crack on this ring. Now, it's broken to this extent …" Many people judged Gu Ding's strength based on this point alone.

"What did he do? Is it a telekinesis attack? "Some people did not even see Gu Ding's movements and thought that he was a telekinesis master.

"Not bad. The strength of his aura is comparable to the level of a five-star half-step true god." In an office of the keeper on the first level of Purgatory Gate, the female warden's scarlet lips curled up slightly.

In the ring, Gu Ding looked at the referee. "He's not dead yet. Can you announce the result?"

The referee was also stunned. When he heard Gu Ding's words, he quickly announced the result. "Round one, Gu Ding wins!"

"Next." Gu Ding's gaze moved away from the referee and scanned the crowd below the ring as he spoke in a calm tone.

The system quickly assigned Gu Ding a second opponent.

This time, the person selected by the system was a young man. The strength of his aura was slightly stronger than the baldy from before, but not by much.

The young man was obviously much smarter. As soon as he got on the ring, he saluted Gu Ding with his fists. "I know you're strong, Gu Ding. If you can take my strongest move, I'll surrender."

There was a reason why he said that. He was using words to force Gu Ding to give him time to gather energy to launch an attack. If Gu Ding was unwilling, he could label Gu Ding as a coward. Moreover, his other intention was obvious. He suggested that if he could not land a hit, he should surrender. This way, his opponent would not be able to attack him.

However, Gu Ding was never a person who liked to play by other people's rules. He looked at his opponent coldly. "There are only two rules in my ring. Either the opponent surrenders, or I beat him until the referee announces the result. There is no third rule."

His words were extremely domineering.

When the young man heard this, his face suddenly turned a little ugly. In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and attack. He moved his body using a special body movement technique and secretly gathered energy.

From Gu Ding's point of view, his body movement technique was full of flaws. However, Gu Ding did not make a move. Instead, he waited patiently for his opponent to give him his strongest attack.

After a long time, the young man finally made his move. His body moved and appeared behind Gu Ding's back. He threw a punch with a special force toward the back of Gu Ding's head.

Gu Ding did not even turn his head. He pointed a finger, and a black light flashed and penetrated his opponent's chest. The young man, who was less than a meter away from Gu Ding, suddenly froze and fell to the ground.

"Second round, Gu Ding wins!" The referee announced the result.

"Next!" The injured person was carried off the ring. Gu Ding looked at the crowd again and said those three words.

The system quickly assigned a third person. This time, it was Andrew, the prison bully from the first level. Andrew was a fat man with a body full of fat. His strength had reached the peak of Supreme Deity and he was one of the strongest people on the first level.

Many people were looking forward to this battle because if Andrew lost, it would mean that there was no one on the first level who could beat Gu Ding.

However, Andrew's actions after he got on the ring surprised everyone. He looked at Gu Ding carefully, and just when everyone thought he was going to attack, he suddenly said, "I admit defeat."

After admitting defeat, he walked off the ring casually, as if he did not feel embarrassed at all.

In fact, the others did not know that the stronger one was, the more they could feel how terrifying Gu Ding was. Andrew stood opposite Gu Ding and could clearly feel the gap between him and Gu Ding. There was no need for him to fight at all, so he readily admitted defeat.

Gu Ding did not expect the fat man to retreat. It stood to reason that a powerhouse of his level should be looking forward to fighting him. However, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he looked down the ring again. "Next!"
