Chapter 1262

The combat effectiveness review was an additional review process.

If any of the reviewers from the Lord King Palace or the five major Seven-star Holy Lands objected to the previous review results, an additional review could be conducted. As long as a suitable reason was given, the Lord King Palace could not refuse.

Moreover, Belif's reason was considered reasonable.

Gu Ding's cultivation level had indeed just broken through to Lesser Lord. It was normal for him to question whether he could take charge of a 5-star Holy Land.

Belif's suggestion surprised the three Saintesses, especially Demetrius, whose expression did not look too good.

She knew very well that Belif's suggestion would definitely allow a perfected Lord God Palace powerhouse to challenge Gu Ding. In her opinion, Gu Ding was only a Lesser Lord. He might not win against a perfected Lord God powerhouse.

If Gu Ding lost, it would be equivalent to failing the additional review, and the previous review results would also be rejected. Warlord Palace's application as a 5-star Holy Land would also be declared a failure.

Just as Midea was hesitating on how to respond to Belif's request, Gu Ding suddenly spoke.

"I can accept the combat effectiveness review. However, if a feudal lord powerhouse like Lord Belif personally reviews a Lesser Lord like me, wouldn't that be too much of a bully? "

"You're a Lord. The difference in combat effectiveness between feudal lords is too great. Naturally, there won't be any feudal lords." Belif smiled.

"It doesn't matter if a feudal lord wants to challenge me. As long as their cultivation level is the same as mine, I'll accept the challenge!" Gu Ding said confidently.

"Remember what you said. Don't regret it later!" Belif felt that Gu Ding was being arrogant.

Demetrius knew Gu Ding quite well and knew that he would not do something he was not confident of. She immediately felt a little relieved. "Since Lord Gu Ding has accepted the combat effectiveness assessment, the Lord King's Palace has no objections. I wonder what the other holy lands think."

Midea turned her head and looked at the other four Seven-star Holy Lands.

The leaders of the four Seven-star Holy Lands nodded in agreement. They also wanted to see how strong Gu Ding was.

"Then, let me explain the review rules." Belif laughed inwardly when he saw that everyone had agreed to the combat effectiveness review. "I'll arrange for ten review battles. As long as Gu Ding can win nine battles, he will pass the combat effectiveness review."

"I have no objections," Gu Ding agreed without hesitation.

"Then let's get into the ring!" With that, Belif looked at a perfected Overgod from the Palace of Gods of War.

"Luo Fu, you're the first one!"

Many people were worried for Gu Ding when they saw a muscular man walk out from the crowd. A few of them were gloating over Gu Ding's misfortune.

"It's a body cultivator at the level of a complete Overgod …" Abel could not help but say from the Monarch Hall's side.

"Even if I don't use defensive god arts, I probably won't be able to break through such an opponent …" Angelica shook her head as well.

Demetrius, on the other hand, frowned slightly. She also felt that Gu Ding might not win the first battle.

Lesser Sovereigns, even Saint Kings, had battle prowess comparable to Higher Sovereigns at most. There was a huge difference between them and a perfect Overgod, let alone a perfect Overgod who cultivated the body.

Gu Ding's first challenge was against such an opponent.

However, some people noticed that the other members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew did not look nervous or worried at all.

"It's a body cultivator. If I were to encounter him, it might be a little troublesome. He must have a Lord-level defensive god art," Elsa admitted.

"It should be easy for me to take on such a big guy." Liliath laughed.

"I might need three strikes. I wonder if Captain can finish him off in one move." Biggie looked a little expectant.

"By sending out a guy like this, Belif's plan is to have a draw. At the very least, he wants to exhaust some of Gu Ding's energy, but he's just wasting his time," Neptune said expressionlessly. He could see through Belif's plan at a glance.

Gu Ding and the muscular man named Luo Fu stepped into the ring one after another. A group of spectators immediately surrounded the ring.

The ring's protective shield was closed, and the countdown to the start of the battle ended quickly.

Luo Fu did not rely on his body cultivator's advantage to attack. Instead, he summoned a set of Heaven Level Armor and fully activated the Palace of Gods of War's Indestructible Combat Body divine ability. This was clearly a defensive stance.

Seeing his opponent like this, Gu Ding felt a little bored.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the ring and appeared in front of Luo Fu in an instant. Then, he pointed a finger at Luo Fu's chest.

A black gleam flashed at the tip of Gu Ding's finger.

Boom!

An intense explosion suddenly rang out, and the spectators immediately saw Lei Fu's defensive remarkable ability disintegrate. Even the heaven-rank Master Divine Weapon's armor had a fist-sized hole in it from this finger attack.

The black finger force penetrated Luo Fu's chest and came out through his back.

Luo Fu's entire body was violently impacted, and he slammed hard into the ring's protective shield. Then, he slowly slid off the shield.

His entire body went limp at the edge of the ring, and he passed out completely. His body rapidly consumed a large amount of Vitality energy to repair the wound on his chest, but it was extremely difficult to repair.

Everyone watching was stunned. A perfected lord-level body cultivator, equipped with a Heaven-level Master Divine Weapon and fully activated Lord-level defensive god art, had been defeated by Gu Ding in one blow. Gu Ding was only a Lesser Lord. This was too unbelievable, and it completely overturned everyone's imagination.

However, many Lord-level powerhouses could tell that Gu Ding's attack contained space-time laws and had extremely strong penetrative power.

As soon as Gu Ding made his move, everyone present, including the seven star feudal lords, no longer dared to underestimate him. They knew that with Gu Ding's strength, once he cultivated to 7-star Lord level, he would probably be able to defeat all the other Lords in the entire dimension.

After seeing Gu Ding's performance, the people from the Palace of Wargods, who had been rather pleased with themselves before, turned gloomy. This was especially so for the Palace Lord of the Palace of Wargods, Beliv. His expression was so dark that one could squeeze water out of it.

"If you don't carry him down to replenish his Vitality energy, he won't live for more than ten minutes." Gu Ding looked in the direction of the people from the Palace of Wargods.

This was how it was for physical cultivators. Once their physical bodies were heavily injured, their Vitality would rapidly recover. If their Vitality could not be replenished, they would deteriorate until their Vitality was depleted and they died.

The Palace of Wargods immediately sent people to carry Luo Fu down for treatment.

"Next!" Gu Ding shouted at Beliv after seeing that Luo Fu had left the ring.

Beliv frowned, and his gaze swept across the group of perfected lord-level powerhouses. After a moment, his gaze landed on a short, skinny middle-aged man. "Borga, you're up!"

The short, skinny middle-aged man bowed at Beliv, then turned and walked toward the ring.
