Chapter 9 - One Blow to the Head!

Chapter 9 – One Blow to the Head!

In the next moment, Gu Yang’s fist pierced through the layer of leathery armour and into the Giant Rock Tortoise’s body.

The Giant Rock Tortoise’s pair of huge eyes suddenly opened wide, and strands of blood appeared. Following that, it let out a heart rendering roar.

The head of the Giant Rock Tortoise exploded on the spot! Blood and flesh meshed, scattering in the entire arena.

The dense smell of blood immediately spread throughout the entire square!

One punch …

Instant-kill!

At this moment, the entire scene fell into silence.

Those outer sect disciples who wanted to watch a good show were dumbfounded.

The Giant Rock Tortoise, which was famous for its defensive ability, couldn’t even block Gu Yang’s fist?

“Was he killed by a single punch?!”

“This …”

It was not just them.

In the resting area.

Zhao Wei and Nie Jin’s eyes widened as well, their faces filled with disbelief.

“This … is it real?”

“Heavens!”

Everyone was dumbstruck!

There was nothing they could do. The scene before them was simply too shocking. They could not believe their eyes.

Ding Xuan was unable to maintain his calm. His expression was filled with astonishment. Of course, he wasn’t surprised by how powerful Gu Yang’s methods were.

Instead, someone threatened his position as champion!

This was no small matter!

“Gu Yang!?” He muttered Gu Yang’s name.

His gaze fell on Gu Yang.

On the other side.

The outer court elder and the attendant were also stunned.

He watched this scene in disbelief.

They had not expected Gu Yang to be so powerful.

“Wait, the movement technique he had just used was the Shadow Steps, and it was also the perfected Shadow Steps. That was why the Giant Rock Tortoise was unable to react.”

“Also, that was the Vajra Fist just now!”

“Vajra Fist!”

“That’s why he was able to instantly kill the Giant Rock Tortoise!”

However, it didn’t take long for the outer sect elder to react, his eyes shining with admiration.

It was not that easy to cultivate a martial skill to perfection, let alone two martial skills.

Gu Yang was a genius with extraordinary comprehension!

From the looks of it, this time around, there was an amazing genius!

The outer sect elder didn’t hesitate any longer as he watched Gu Yang walk out of the duelling grounds.

“All participants have completed their challenge for the inner court selection.”

“The disciples who have successfully passed the selection competition were: Zhao Wei, Nie Jin, Ding Xuan, and … Gu Yang!”

The outer court elder’s voice fell.

Many outer sect disciples sighed with emotion.

Zhao Wei, Nie Jin, and Ding Xuan also looked at Gu Yang.

After all, before the final result was announced, no one had expected Gu Yang to suddenly appear. Even Ding Xuan’s radiance had been suppressed.

Gu Yang become the most eye-catching disciple!

“Next, we will announce the champion of this inner court selection.”

The outer court elder’s voice sounded.

Instantly, Ding Xuan’s spirit was also highly concentrated.

After all, this was related to ten low-grade spirit stones.

He didn’t want to hand over these ten low-grade spirit stones!

This should have been his reward!

When he thought of this, he stared at the outer sect elder with burning eyes, silently waiting.

In next to no time, the outer court elders also had no ink marks.

He directly announced.

“The champion of this selection is … Gu Yang!”

Waves of thunderous applause rang out.

“He truly deserved it!”

No one would question this champion.

After all, Gu Yang had punched the Giant Rock Tortoise in front of everyone! Even Ding Xuan was unable to do so.

Gu Yang was supposed to be the champion, however, soon after the outer court elder had just finished speaking, an inharmonious voice was heard.

“I object!”

After hearing the sound everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

When the outer sect elder heard this, he frowned and looked at Ding Xuan.

“Is there a problem?”

Ding Xuan immediately said.

“Of course! Gu Yang killed the Giant Rock Tortoise with a single punch, so can  I! Why was he the champion? This champion should be me!”

Hearing this, the outer court elder frowned even deeper. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“You used ten moves to kill a ferocious beast, but Gu Yang only used one move. Judging from your performance, you are inferior to Gu Yang. As for your strength, it has nothing to do with us.”The outer court elder casually said.

Hearing this, Ding Xuan immediately clenched his fists in anger.

His gaze directed at Gu Yang.

“You! I, Ding Xuan, formally challenge you! Only the one who wins will be able to win the championship and receive ten low-grade spirit stones!”

Ding Xuan had just spoken.

“Oh? You want to challenge the champion?”

The outer court elder frowned.

“Yes, I refuse to accept this champion!” Ding Xuan shouted.

Although this action made many people around feel displeased!

“If you lose, you lose. Why can’t you afford to lose?” The other disciples were discussing.

However, the outer court elders didn’t care too much about this.

Now that there was a good show going on, how could he not watch it?

“That’s fine. The two of you can fight once. Whoever wins will be the champion.” The outer court elder immediately said.

Hearing this, Ding Xuan’s eyes lit up.

Gu Yang was speechless.

“I refuse. He was number two, to begin with. It’s fine even if he loses, but if I lose I’ll lose the championship reward. Isn’t t that unfair?”

Hearing Gu Yang’s words, the outer court elder slowly nodded, feeling that it made sense.

“Gu Yang is right. If that’s the case, then I’ll make the decision. If Ding Xuan loses, then you’ll take out five low-grade spirit stones and give them to Gu Yang. What do you say?”

As the outer sect elder spoke, he looked at Ding Xuan.

Ding Xuan’s face turned pale.

However, he quickly and confidently agreed.

“No problem!”

Although he would have to give five spirit stones if he lost; however, with his strength, there was no way he could not defeat someone in the same realm!

It was impossible to lose!

Seeing this, the outer court elder looked at Gu Yang.

“Gu Yang, what do you think?”

“I accept the challenge.”

Gu Yang smiled and accepted it.

Naturally, there was no reason not to accept it.

Hearing this, Ding Xuan was pleasantly surprised.

He was afraid that Gu Yang would refuse.

Since he agreed …

This championship reward would belong to me, Ding Xuan!

“Very well. Since all of you have accepted it, then … prepare yourself and begin!”

The outer court elders also revealed looks of anticipation.

After all, Ding Xuan’s strength and talent were not bad.

Of course, he was still a bit inferior to Gu Yang.

Since Ding Xuan was so confident, he probably had some hidden trump cards.

This made him rather curious.

Hearing that there was still a good show to watch, the surrounding outer sect disciples who were preparing to leave stopped in their tracks.
