One of Caruthers's fists was suddenly blocked. He focused and saw that it was Gu Ding's palm that had firmly blocked his attack. At the same time, Gu Ding's murderous eyes sent chills down his spine.

"You're playing tricks!"

Caruthers forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart. The wings on his back flapped again, and a gust of wind blew. He increased the strength of his fist by several times, but Gu Ding was like a towering mountain in front of him, and he could not budge an inch.

Kacha …

Suddenly, the sound of several bones breaking could be heard. Caruthers felt a burst of pain in his fist, and he could not help but scream.

"Ah!!!"

The crowd below the ring could clearly see that Gu Ding had crushed Caruthers's right fist, and blue blood gushed out wildly.

Many people saw this scene, and they looked at Gu Ding with a little fear in their eyes.

Kacha …

The crisp sound of bones breaking like firecrackers could be heard one after another. This time, Gu Ding clamped Caruthers's left wrist, and in the next moment, his entire left hand was twisted into a spiral shape.

Beads of sweat the size of beans seeped out of Caruthers's forehead. When he saw Gu Ding's murderous eyes, he quickly looked at the referee. "I admit …"

I admit defeat. Before he could finish saying those three words, he was shocked to find that his mouth was covered by a hand. It was a slender, fair hand that forcibly covered the last word.

At the same time, Caruthers found that his body was thrown backward. In just an instant, his body was forcibly brought to the other side of the ring, and his head slammed hard against the protective shield on the other side. All the teeth in his mouth were knocked out by the huge force of the slender palm. Even his chin was torn so badly that it could no longer be closed.

"We're fighting. Where were you looking just now?" Gu Ding twisted Caruthers's head around so that his eyes were looking straight at him.

Caruthers's eyes were filled with horror as he looked at the pair of indifferent eyes. He had no doubt that Gu Ding would kill him.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me …" Karthus muttered indistinctly.

"You just punched me more than three million times. It's a fair deal, I'll return the same number of punches to you. As for whether you can survive or not, that will depend on your luck. " As Gu Ding said that, he released the hand that was pinching his opponent's mouth. After all, his opponent would not be able to say anything like admitting defeat.

The referee was also a little hesitant, but when he saw Belinda nod at him, he simply chose to watch.

"Ahh …" With a roar, Gu Ding's fists rained down on Karlosus like a storm.

The protective shield of the arena rippled at an extremely high frequency.

As he continued to attack, Gu Ding's aura grew stronger.

The crowd below the stage was completely dumbfounded. The combat effectiveness that Gu Ding displayed after his advancement was completely different from before.

"This guy is really not simple. He actually broke through in the middle of a battle. How much courage does he have to do such a thing? "Sighs could be heard from the crowd.

"No wonder Gu Ding is called the Demon of the Era. He can still turn the tables under such circumstances. I thought Gu Ding was going to lose for sure this time. "Even some of the guys who did not think highly of Gu Ding before now exclaimed in admiration.

"Hey, Gu Ding, if you kill this guy, you'll be locked up in the Confinement Space." Neptune could not help but remind Gu Ding when he saw that his opponent was on the verge of death under Gu Ding's attacks.

Gu Ding completely ignored Neptune's words and kept bombarding Karlosus's body with both fists. His attack speed and attack power continued to rise as his body continued to adapt to the new changes brought about by the advancement of his cultivation.

Neptune saw that Gu Ding did not care whether he could enter the Confinement Space or not, so he did not say anything more.

Below the stage, Reid also raised his eyebrows. "I've never seen Gu Ding like this."

"If Karlosus dies, Gu Ding will be locked up in the Confinement Space. Should we stop him?" Belinda turned her head to observe Reid.

"He knows the consequences. He'll bear it himself." Reid shook his head. He knew Gu Ding's character very well. Gu Ding might seem impulsive, but he had already considered the consequences and knew that it was within his ability to bear them.

In the arena, Gu Ding's movements suddenly stopped. Not a single part of Karlosus's body was intact.

"Three million one hundred eighty-six thousand seven hundred and fifty-two punches! One last punch left! " Gu Ding suddenly twisted his waist one hundred and eighty degrees and pulled his clenched right fist far away. After a while, he suddenly punched out. "Three hundred one hundred eighty-six thousand seven hundred and fifty-three punches!"

"Boom!"

A violent explosion shook the arena, and ripples spread out on the arena's protective shield.

Gu Ding's punch went straight through Karlosus's chest. His fist went in from the front of his chest and came out through his back.

Karlosus was already on his last breath, but after this punch, his last breath became weak and unmoving. His transformed form with a pair of wings was automatically dispelled, and he returned to his human form.

Gu Ding pulled his fist out and turned to look at the black-armored referee. "Can you announce the result now?"

"The winner of this round: Gu Ding!"

After the referee announced the result, he immediately took Karlosus out of the arena.

Gu Ding also changed his previous habit of fighting all day and walked out of the arena.

He had fought so many battles over the past few days not to gain points, but to seek a breakthrough. Now that his cultivation had broken through, he should find a place to consolidate his cultivation as soon as possible. There was not much point in continuing to fight.

Below the arena, although many people felt it was a pity, they knew that Gu Ding would not be willing to continue fighting since his cultivation had just improved.

As soon as he walked out of the arena, Neptune spoke again. "Gu Ding, there's an acquaintance in the arena."

"An acquaintance of mine?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. Purgatory was not a good place, and he did not want to see a friend he knew locked up in there.

"That's right. It's in the two o 'clock direction, about fifty meters away." There was a hint of a smile in Neptune's voice.

Gu Ding looked in that direction, and his gaze quickly fell on a blonde teenager.

"Ri … Reid? Why is he here? "

He noticed that Reid was also looking at him.

Gu Ding, who was about to leave the arena, immediately changed his direction and walked toward Reid.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown quite a bit." Reid punched Gu Ding's chest.

"Aren't you the same?" Gu Ding's smile was still warm.

When they were on Cerule, both of them were only a little over 1.6 meters tall. Now that half a year had passed, both of them had grown to 1.8 meters and were no longer as thin and weak as before.

"You guys talk, I'll leave for now." Belinda did not intend to pry into their conversation and chose to leave immediately. Although the warden had asked her to guard Reid, it was mainly to protect his safety. However, she could also see that Reid's strength was second only to that of a True God, and he would not encounter any danger on the sixth floor, so she left with peace of mind.

Only then did Gu Ding notice that there was a golden-armored guardian standing next to Reid.

Belinda disappeared in a flash, and only then did Gu Ding ask, "Why are you at Purgatory Gate?"

"I came with Quentin," Reid said with a smile.

"Oh, I know, it's the chief of the House of Representatives." Gu Ding also remembered that today was the day the chief visited Purgatory Gate. "You helped him win the chief's position, no wonder he agreed to bring you here."

"How do you know about these things?" Reid did not expect information to be transparent in Purgatory Gate. This was because most prisons would block information.

"News of what happened outside can be seen on the Purgatory Gate's local network. Your news was yesterday's headline, so of course I know." Gu Ding grinned.

"Purgatory Gate is indeed completely different from the prison I thought it would be. However, seeing how you're doing now, I'm relieved that you're doing well. " What Reid said was the truth. He was a little worried before. If it was a normal prison, he would have to face a small room of a few square meters all day. Besides eating time, there was only one hour of free time a day. Gu Ding would definitely not be able to stay there.

In fact, when Belinda brought him around the first level of Purgatory Gate, he had already guessed that Gu Ding was doing well. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was finally relieved.

"Let's talk in the canteen. I'll treat you to a meal!" Gu Ding said generously.

"You're not treating me to a fried bun again, are you?" Reid could not help but laugh. Back on Cerule, every time Gu Ding said he would treat him to a meal, he would end up getting two or three fried buns. However, Gu Ding did not have much money at that time. His meager salary was earned from working at Rose Tavern. It was already very generous of him to treat him to a fried bun.

"No, I'm treating you to a big meal this time. If you want to eat fried buns, you can order them too," Gu Ding said as he led Reid toward the canteen.

After entering the canteen, Gu Ding registered for a private room on the ninth floor and brought Reid up to the ninth floor.

When they pushed open the door to the private room, both of them were stunned by what they saw.

The private room did not look like a place to eat, but more like the interior of a magnificent palace. Even the floor was a golden reflection that could dazzle people's eyes.

"This … looks a little too classy. Why don't we go to a fried bun … "Reid knew that a place like this would definitely be expensive.

"Cut the crap. I've already paid. If you want to eat fried buns, just order them from the menu." Gu Ding strode into the room.

Both of them sat down. Gu Ding clicked on the menu projection on the armrest and searched for fried buns. "Hmm, two fried buns. I haven't had them in a long time …"
