1011: Chapter 86: Goal of Becoming a God 1011: Chapter 86: Goal of Becoming a God In the Ancient Path Site, beast roars and monkey cries echoed, the mountain wind howled, and the ancient trees stood strong, presenting a primitive scene as if returning to the remote antiquity.
Many people had not expected that as soon as the event kicked off, two heavenly talents would come face to face.
Tuoba Ying, robust in stature, tall and burly, with skin the color of ancient bronze, looked like a wild dragon exuding an overpowering presence.
At this moment, his eyes shadowy, he fixed his gaze on Gu Chen, full of undisguised murderous intent!
However, since the academy strictly prohibited lethal clashes among students, Tuoba Ying had no plans to kill Gu Chen that day but instead intended to cripple him.
Gu Chen, tall and slender, brimming with vitality that surged like a dragon; with a fine and handsome face, his aura ethereal, seemed like an exiled immortal about to ride the wind away, silently standing there, gazing at Tuoba Ying with calm eyes.
Contrasted with Tuoba Ying, Gu Chenâs bearing indeed appeared more superior.
But, in the struggles between cultivators, a good disposition does not guarantee victory; it primarily depends on individual combat strength.
And combat strength was determined by factors such as cultivation level, realm, techniques, foundation, physique, and mental fortitude.
Setting Gu Chen aside for the moment, because they were not clear on his background.
As for Tuoba Ying, hailing from the top-tier Tuoba family in the East Profound Region, his cultivation level and realm were similar to othersâ, but in terms of techniques, many believed that Tuoba Ying would hold a significant advantage.
At that time, Chen Xuan of Yuexiao Sect spoke to Chu Liufeng, âSince the candidates we favor are different, why not make it more interesting with a wager?â
Chu Liufeng responded with a light smile, âHow about a bet of a top-grade spiritual weapon?â
âAgreed,â nodded Chen Xuan of Yuexiao Sect.
Those who heard were shocked, thinking that both men were indeed from renowned, top-tier forces, to be wagering top-grade spiritual weapons so casually.
âBrother Chu, since thatâs the case, I wonât hold back,â Chen Xuan said with a smile.
âLet me inform you that Tuoba Ying has mastered a minor divine ability and advanced his familial technique to the fourth level, rivaling the masters of the early Huanxu Realm from past generations, and his meridians have reached the pinnacle of perfection.
Your favored Gu Bai might just take a fall this time.â
âOh?â
Hearing this, Chu Liufeng also expressed surprise, not expecting Tuoba Ying to have made such progress during his recent seclusion and even mastered a minor divine ability.
As a top force in the East Profound Region, the Tuoba familyâs techniques were extremely powerful, not to be underestimated.
âIâm only telling Brother Chu because this time, you seem to have misjudged; Gu Bai wonât stand a chance against Tuoba,â Chuan Xuan commented with a light smile.
Set aside the familial techniques, they were all very clear about the power of minor divine abilities.
On hearing this, many in the audience were also inwardly shocked, thinking Gu Bai was indeed in trouble.
âDecimating Army Fist Strike!â
A flash of cold light sparked in Tuoba Yingâs eyes as he unleashed his full power without restraint.
His formidable cultivation surged through the meridians in his body, punching ferociously towards Gu Chen.
With a thunderous boom, the force of heaven and earth converged, and a colossal fist imprint emerged, ripping through the void with the might to crush all in its path.
Stationary, with his hair dancing and eyes profound, Gu Chen faced Tuoba Yingâs attack, showing no intention of striking back.
âWhat is Gu Bai doing, why isnât he making a move?â
âCould he be planning to withstand it with his physical body?â
âWith an attack of this caliber, even the top monsters would be injured if they attempted to block with their bodies, wouldnât they?â
The spectators were all astonished and started to discuss among themselves.
Chen Xuan of Yuexiao Sect frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Chen was being too arrogant and conceited, which displeased him.
Chu Liufengâs gaze, however, was filled with strangeness as he watched Gu Chen, as if he sensed something.
Boom!
The next moment, a hurricane suddenly erupted, and an extremely hot temperature spread out from Gu Chen, impacting the surroundings for hundreds of feet!
âWhat is thisâŠ
how is this possible?!â
âHow can a personâs vital energy reach such an extent?!â
âThis is too fierce; I feel like Iâm about to burst into flames!â
In an instant, countless people exclaimed in surprise, retreating backward as flames ignited on the bodies of many.
Gu Chenâs vital energy oppressed the void, exerting a supreme force that shook the Eight Desolations, akin to a great sun descending to earth, the temperature unbearable to the point where oneâs bodily fluids seemed to be drying up.
He remained unmoved, using only his incredibly vigorous and boiling vital energy to disintegrate Tuoba Yingâs Decimating Army Fist Strike until it turned to ash.
At that moment, Gu Chen stood like a divine furnace, radiating an intense heat that nearly suffocated those around him.
Tuoba Yingâs complexion changed; at close range, his hair began to burn, and the air he breathed was scorching, making it difficult for him to endure.
âIs this his true strength?â Chu Liufengâs eyes shimmered.
Of course, the most shocked of all was Chen Xuan of Yuexiao Sect; the more he had doubted Gu Chen earlier, the deeper his inner turmoil was now.
The intensity of that vital energy was many times stronger than his own!
âMonks clash, do you think having a strong physique grants you absolute advantage?
Today I will teach you what a minor divine ability is!â
Tuoba Ying quickly composed himself and shouted, âBlood Shura Finger!â
With a whoosh, he pointed a finger at Gu Chen, and his index finger turned an ominous blood-red, seeming almost opulently vivid.
