C144 Fight

After twenty odd days of silence, the Heavenly Academy finally began to boil once more.

And the reason, was also because Gu Xuan had issued a challenge before heading for the twenty-fifth pagoda!

Although this result was within many people's expectations, it was still impossible for Gu Xuan to avoid battles like these. Once a month had passed, Gu Xuan would owe all the people who did not challenge him five hundred Treasure Point.

Therefore, most people guessed that Gu Xuan would be challenging them in the last days of the month. As long as he was lucky enough to win against one or two people, he would be able to save up to a thousand Treasure Point.

Nine Stars Profound Level, and Peak Profound Level, were like a natural moat, and simply incapable of surpassing it. Gu Xuan's strength was not that much stronger than the twenty-sixth place, yet the twenty-six people who originally wanted to challenge the 25th place were actually defeated with a single move!

This was the strength of Peak Profound Level. The strongest Nine Stars Profound Level within the Heavenly Academy was defeated with a single move by the weakest Peak Profound Level.

Although there were many coincidences within it, the strength of the Peak Profound Level was undeniable!

This time, almost all of the people that were challenged by Gu Xuan had ended their training and rushed to the 25th pavilion, to watch the battle.

If Gu Xuan could defeat Martial Cultivator number twenty-five, it also meant that Gu Xuan possessed the power to challenge them.

At this moment, the one with the ugliest expression was Ye Cang. When Gu Xuan had challenged him before, he had only treated it as a joke, but now it seemed that the gap between the two of them was already far from being as large as it was before. As for the words he had said to look down on Gu Xuan, right now, it seemed even more like he was ridiculing himself.

"You don't need to think too much about this. Gu Xuan is just a little bit overpowered by the Military Strength. As long as he does not break through, he is not a threat to us." Qin Feng glanced at Ye Cang and said indifferently.

It was his idea to arrange a fight with Gu Xuan for the top thirty rankers in the rankings. But looking at the situation now, the result seemed to be far from what he had planned. Five of the students had already lost five hundred Treasure Point.

Ye Cang also nodded his head, from start to finish, the two of them had merely lost some face. As for whether Gu Xuan could threaten them, it would still depend on whether Gu Xuan had a breakthrough in cultivation, if Gu Xuan could simply challenge someone stronger than him, the two of them would not even put him in their eyes. After all, as long as the two of them had no problems, they could very quickly step into the Sovereign Level.

While it would take a long time for a talented normal person to step into the Sovereign Level, so it was possible that Gu Xuan was still struggling when the two were at the middle stage of Sovereign Level.

However, if Gu Xuan's cultivation realm could visibly improve, that would mean that Gu Xuan was a Peerless Genius that was not one bit inferior to Zhou Juechu!

Hence, the outcome of the battle was not important. What the two of them cared more about was Gu Xuan's realm.

As if an agreement had been reached, only when all the people Gu Xuan had yet to challenge had arrived did the twenty-fifth ranked Elite Student slowly walk out of the pavilion.

"Gu Xuan, sorry to keep you waiting, but let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Chen." That elite disciple smiled at Gu Xuan: "A mere freshman, and a freshman with Five Stars Profound Level at that, yet still able to rank 26th. You're already pretty good, but the first failure of your Heavenly Academy is just for me to complete."

"I'm afraid that this wish of yours will fail." Looking at his opponent who was full of confidence, Gu Xuan laughed and said.

"Oh?" Yang Chen raised his brows, then squinted his eyes: "Looks like you still don't know how powerful your Peak Profound Level is. I heard that you have mastered a Earth-Rank Martial Arts? Use it! "

"Alright!"

Without wasting any time, Gu Xuan raised his palm, and rows of star patterns lit up, reaching a total of 22 lines.

In this one month of time, although Gu Xuan did not deliberately cultivate the Divine Weapon Formula, only an increase in realm caused the strength of his palms to increase accordingly.

"No progress at all?"

Feeling the aura from Gu Xuan's body, Qin Feng and Ye Cang were also stunned. Under normal circumstances, as long as their talent was not too weak, they would be able to improve a little within a month's time, and their Star Picking Hand would strengthen a little as they fought against others.

However, the aura on Gu Xuan's body did not change at all, and it was in a situation where he had just broken through Five Stars Profound Level.

The corner of Ye Cang's mouth raised into a cold smile: "This Gu Xuan is indeed normal, so what if the Military Strength defies the will of the heavens? It has actually cultivated for so long without improving at all, I'm afraid that he might not even be able to break through to the Sovereign Level in his entire life."

"Indeed." Qin Feng also nodded his head, "Previously, it was us two who were too nervous, a genius like Zhou Juechu, how could he appear so easily? We still overestimated Gu Xuan, we never thought that he was not a cultivation genius, instead he did not advance at all."

The two of them immediately lost interest in Gu Xuan. After all, higher level challenges were limited, and the most important thing was to raise one's realm. Someone who couldn't raise his realm, no matter how many levels he challenged, was nothing in the eyes of geniuses like them.

The two's conversation only lasted an instant, while Gu Xuan and Yang Fan had already exchanged several blows, clashing with Peak Profound Level's rank multiple times. Gu Xuan was also only fighting evenly, which made many people exclaim in surprise, but none of them expected that Gu Xuan's strength was actually stronger than the stronger Nine Stars Profound Level to begin with.

"Using Five Stars Profound Level to fight with someone is still a little difficult, but this will be better for my cultivation of the Star Picking Hand!"

After colliding with Yang Fan again and again, Gu Xuan also felt that it was somewhat difficult.

The difference between Five Stars Profound Level and Peak Profound Level was just too big, but Gu Xuan was still not prepared to unleash his Six Stars Profound Level yet. In order to cultivate the Star Picking Hand, he needed to continuously collide with it and use force to increase it time and time again.

After suppressing his realm at the Five Stars Profound Level, breaking through would be easier under the repeated pressure. Previously, when there had been too many opponents at the Heavenly Academy, Gu Xuan had been too lazy to suppress his realm, but as the number of people he could fight grew fewer and fewer, he had no choice but to give up.

"Buzz!"

A moment later, another Star Seizer Arcana finally condensed on the back of Gu Xuan's hand.

"Very good!" Gu Xuan's face revealed a satisfied expression, the Star Picking Hand of the twenty-three Arcana were even more tyrannical than before, and Gu Xuan's original advantage immediately changed to a evenly matched state.

Bang!

After a few dozen slaps, Gu Xuan felt that the pressure Yang Fan gave himself was not enough.

Challenge the 25th place, Victory!

"I've finally reached his limit!"

Many people sighed in relief when they saw this scene. From the one hundred thirty-one contestants to the twenty-six contestants, to the battle against Yang Fan, they finally reached a stalemate. Although the final victory caused them to be a little taken aback.

After accepting Yang Fan's Treasure Point, Gu Xuan continued to walk towards the 24th Floor.

Based on this battle, Gu Xuan had obviously reached his limit. If he continued to challenge Gu Xuan, he would definitely lose, what else was there to do?

"Gu Xuan, are you sure you won't admit defeat?"

A sturdy young man walked out from the crowd and stopped Gu Xuan. He frowned: "Your current strength is about the same as Yang Fan, are you sure it's still necessary to continue fighting with me?"

"Why not?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said.

The sturdy youth shook his head, and said somewhat helplessly: "Looks like you really are unwilling to give up. Don't think that Yang Fan and I aren't that far apart, but he has only just broken through the Peak Profound Level, while I have broken through the Peak Profound Level for a long time. In terms of strength, neither of the two might be my match."

Taking a step forward, the imposing aura emitted by the burly youth immediately exploded out. It was incomparably condensed, and was far stronger than Yang Fan's.

He had just broken through the Peak Profound Level and had been steady at the Peak Profound Level for a long time, so he was obviously not on the same level.

"Gu Xuan, Yang Fan's strength is completely unable to compare to mine, and you're only barely able to beat him, and even more so, you're not my opponent. Just admit defeat, I don't want to fight with a Martial Cultivator with Five Stars Profound Level!"

The imposing aura on his body surged, the robust youth looked at Gu Xuan and said slowly.

Gu Xuan's gaze was calm, and upon hearing the burly youth's words, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile: "If you don't want to fight with Five Stars Profound Level, then do you want to fight with Six Stars Profound Level?"

"What do you mean?" The burly youth was stunned and did not understand what was going on.

Boom!

Before anyone could react, Gu Xuan's Qi aura suddenly increased by a few points, a whole grade compared to before.

Six Stars Profound Level!

"What!"

Many people could not believe their eyes.

What Gu Xuan displayed now was actually the aura of his Six Stars Profound Level.

"Heavens, am I seeing things? Six Stars Profound Level?"

"Impossible, this doesn't make sense! Didn't Gu Xuan just step into the Five Stars Profound Level a month ago, how did he suddenly reach six stars?"

"Breaking through to 1-star in just a month's time? What kind of speed is this!? "

Many people gasped in astonishment. They had only thought that Gu Xuan's Military Strength was heaven opposing, but his realm's growth was average, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to have Five Stars Profound Level now.

Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to Gu Xuan's realm.

But now, Gu Xuan had actually levelled up by one star in front of them!

Increasing one star in one month. This kind of speed was several times faster than the speed they had shown to be when they were cultivating geniuses.

As for Gu Xuan concealing his strength previously, this thought had only flashed through their minds once before it was eliminated. It was possible for their realm to be hidden temporarily, but there would always be a time when it leaked out after a period of time.

As for Gu Xuan, who had fought in more than a hundred battles, it was impossible for his not to make a mistake every single time!

This could also confirm that Gu Xuan had used a month's time to cultivate from the Five Stars Profound Level to the Six Stars Profound Level! A breakthrough in a month!
