C171 Honorable level strength

Gu Xuan looked at the receding Chen Ba, his face filled with mockery. With his current strength, he could definitely use some other method to defeat Chen Ba, and it would be even easier.

Only, Gu Xuan did not, and instead chose the most direct and exaggerated method.

It was not because he found Chen Ba unpleasing to the eye, but to respond to Zhou Juechu.

Previously, Chen Ba had displayed strength that was stronger than his, and he was provoking him, so there was nothing wrong with these, it could only be considered competition.

However, Zhou Juechu's words carried some meaning.

Just as Chen Ba wanted to start a conflict with him, Zhou Juechu threw out an olive branch to him, making him kneel on the ground in excitement.

Other people might only feel that Zhou Juechu wanted to nurture Chen Ba and support them.

However, Gu Xuan knew that Zhou Juechu definitely did not have any intentions of roping Chen Ba in. This was because Chen Ba was able to jump levels in order to challenge him, in reality, it was not because he had an outstanding innate talent, but because he had cultivated a type of cultivation technique.

After a student of the institution breaks through to the Sovereign Level, as long as they are willing to officially enter the institution, they will immediately receive the reward of a cultivation technique. At that time, Chen Ba's advantage will be gone.

With Zhou Juechu's talent, it was fundamentally impossible for him to be interested in Chen Ba. The reason Zhou Juechu had recruited Chen Ba was only to let him know the disparity between them.

The person that he could not defeat would become so excited to the point of being unable to control himself just because of a few words from him. This would also show the superiority that he, Zhou Juechu, possessed.

Therefore, Gu Xuan did not choose to directly crush Chen Ba with his explosive strength. Instead, he forcefully fought to the best of his ability and used the method Chen Ba was the most adept at doing so. Only then did he ruthlessly slap Zhou Juechu on the face.

The reason why Gu Xuan did this was to tell Zhou Juechu: To me, the person you care about is only worth this much!

From the very beginning, Gu Xuan could already feel Zhou Juechu's unexplainable hostility, but as long as he provoked him, no matter who the other party was, no matter what identity he had, Gu Xuan would not care one bit.

Gu Xuan walked down the arena, while his face was extremely gloomy.

The Chen Ba he had placed his unparalleled high hopes on, had actually been directly defeated by Gu Xuan in such a straightforward manner. This truly made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

The Azure Dragon Emissary took a step forward. His gaze was slightly cold as he said in a low voice, "Master, do you want me to kill him?"

"No need." frowned, "It's just a slightly stronger ant, it's too much of a loss to deal with this kind of person. Let's continue watching, victory over Chen Ba, he might not be the number one in Heavenly Academy, so what if he is truly number one in Heavenly Academy? What I'm truly strong for, is not Profound Level, but Sovereign Level.

"Yes sir!" "Yes." The Azure Dragon Emissary responded and returned to his original position …

Gu Xuan walked down the stage, while Zhao Mayi looked at him carefully before shaking his head and sighing: "I am truly curious, what is your hand made of, for an ordinary person to be able to resist a blade and sword, it is one thing, but you actually managed to resist Chen Ba's Giant Ax, it is truly unbelievable. A normal body tempering cultivation technique does not have this ability, could it be a middle tier cultivation technique?"

"Maybe." Gu Xuan laughed.

Middle tier cultivation technique? Zhao Mayi still thought too highly of the middle ranked cultivation technique. A normal middle ranked cultivation technique, being able to have a tenth of his own was nothing.

The Divine Weapon Formula he cultivated in was already a divine rank cultivation technique that was above the upper rank. He could cultivate it from the Spirit Level realm, refine his body into a Divine Weapon and cultivate it to the Mastery realm.

's previous Divine Weapon Formula was still far from reaching this level, but following the breakthrough of his realm, although he did not deliberately train, his Divine Weapon Formula had already increased by a large amount. The other parts of his body could still withstand ordinary blades, but the strength of his specially strengthened right hand was inconceivable.

The battle between Gu Xuan and Chen Ba, was also seen as the decisive battle by many of the Heavenly Academy students. The temperature of the Heavenly Court Large Competition, also became neither warm nor hot.

One by one, the students began to fight. Because there were simply too many people challenged by Gu Xuan in the past, out of the people that Gu Xuan chose, they were all people who had challenged him before.

Now, when they fought again, they couldn't help but let Ye Cang and the others sigh endlessly. Back then when they were focused on fighting, and even the somewhat disdainful Gu Xuan, he had already grown to a height that was difficult for them to reach. The difference between them and Gu Xuan was so great that they couldn't even begin to feel jealous.

And this only lasted for a few months.

When there were only sixteen people left, it had already become a group competition. The eliminated people would once again fight to determine their ranking, but the students on the Mountain And River List had all fought before, many of them directly admitted defeat. At this stage, forcing themselves to fight, was no longer necessary.

After two rounds, the only ones who could maintain an undefeated record were Gu Xuan, Zhao Mayi, Lin He, and a student who was ranked seventh.

Lin Lao wrote down the names of the four people, grabbed two of them and confirmed the situation.

Gu Xuan against Song Tian, Zhao Mayi against Lin He.

Gu Xuan had not reached the stage yet, but the student called Song Tian only shook his head and said somewhat helplessly: "I am far from being a match for Senior Brother Gu, I admit defeat."

If he had drawn Lin He, he might even dare to fight, but if he had met Gu Xuan, he would have already lost the courage to even fight.

With regards to the result, the crowd did not manage to catch their surprise. From the looks of it, Gu Xuan was the strongest out of the four, and Song Tian was the weakest out of the four, so admitting defeat was normal.

Gu Xuan and Song Tian's fight quickly came to an end, and Zhao Mayi and Lin He walked up the stage.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, I know that you are not weak. I wonder if you will continue hiding your strength?" Zhao Mayi looked at Lin He and said with a smile.

"Hide?" Lin He revealed a smile on his face, "I don't think there's a need for that. I'm already prepared to break through Sovereign Level and get first place in Heavenly Court Large Competition this time, so it can be considered to be complete."

Hearing the words "first place in the competition", Zhao Mayi also frowned slightly. Gu Xuan's strength was so tyrannical, so it was reasonable to say that he would definitely obtain the first place in the competition.

Boom!

Without waiting for Zhao Mayi to think further, the aura on Lin He's body exploded out. He was still at the Peak Profound Level level.

However, the appearance of this energy caused quite a few people to gasp.

Although Lin He's aura was at the Peak Profound Level realm, it was a little more vigorous than a real Martial Cultivator!

After Chen Ba broke through, his brute strength was only about the same as his One Star Sovereign Level, but in other aspects, he was far inferior to the real Sovereign Level Expert.

But Lin He, had genuinely acquired the Sovereign Level and Military Strength!

"Looks like this time's first place match is really going to be with Lin He."

This thought had appeared in almost everyone's minds.
