CHAPTER 121
To revere as a deity
Gu Xuan accepted the challenge and directly walked out of the pavilion. Not long after, a young man in black armor walked over.
This young man was tall, half a head taller than Gu Xuan. He had a fierce look on his face. He walked towards Gu Xuan step by step, the armor on his body making clanking sounds.
Chu Lin stood up and looked over with a cold smile. "Gu Xuan, I didn't expect you to have some guts. I thought you were too scared to show up. But that's right, you have to accept at least one challenge every month. Even if you want to hide, you will have to fight with me sooner or later. If you take the initiative to agree now, you can at least leave a good reputation."
"You talk a little too much." Gu Xuan glanced at Chu Lin and said faintly.
"Hmph!" The corners of Chu Lin's lips curled up, revealing his pearly white teeth. "I'm excited now, so of course I'll talk a lot. Tsk tsk, the pavilion ranked 53rd, how many times more resources would they get than me? Such a great benefit, if others don't want it, then it's mine. I can't be bothered to deal with you, so I'll give you a chance. Admit defeat, or else you'll have to lie in bed for half a month. "
Gu Xuan also smiled and stretched out an arm. "Then I'll give you a chance. I'll only use one hand. If you can take three of my palms, I'll give you this position."
"You're courting death!" Chu Lin's eyes suddenly spat out flames of anger. How strong could a new student be? Moreover, he was directly recruited into the Heavenly Court from among the new students. How strong could he be? Profound Grade Seven or Eight Stars were at most, but he was a Profound Grade Nine Stars martial artist. Although his ranking in the Heavenly Court was low, he was still far from being comparable to a new student.
Boom!
The power of fire in Chu Lin's body surged, and immediately set off a wave of air around him. A thick and dense aura surged out!
"Heaven Sealing Mark!"
With a low roar, Chu Lin's flame energy suddenly seemed to be pulled and crazily surged towards his palm. The originally surging aura became ten times more condensed at this moment.
"Brat, this is a Human Tier Level 3 Martial Art. This level of Martial Art is enough to broaden your horizons!" Chu Lin said coldly as he looked at Gu Xuan.
"Human Rank Level Three, is it very strong?" A mocking smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face. He raised his palm, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth seemed to move along with his palm. Raising his arm high, Stellar Transposition!
Gu Xuan's palm seemed to have condensed countless starlight. When the stars appeared, the heavens and earth lost their color!
"This is a true martial art!"
On Gu Xuan's palm, 17 mystic runes shone and intertwined in a dazzling manner!
"This …"
Chu Lin's eyes widened. Under the aura of Gu Xuan's martial arts, his so-called Human Tier Third Rank martial arts paled in comparison. The difference between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth. Gu Xuan's palm seemed to be dragging a myriad of stars, like a god from heaven! Even his opponent couldn't help but have the urge to go on a pilgrimage.
"What … what kind of martial arts is this?"
Chu Lin's knees could not help but bend. This was the natural reaction of a martial artist after seeing the true essence of martial arts.
Biting his tongue, Chu Lin steadied his mind and roared, "Your martial arts are indeed strong, but what realm are you in? I don't believe you're my match!"
Roar!
Chu Lin took a step forward and his body shot forward. The Heaven Sealing Seal and his palm pierced through the sky and let out a dragon's roar!
"You overestimate yourself!"
Gu Xuan shook his head. Facing Chu Lin's powerful palm, he only pushed out an ordinary palm.
"Pop!"
The two palms collided, and the sound of an eggshell breaking was heard. Chu Lin's extremely condensed seal instantly collapsed. Chu Lin could only feel an endless power surging from Gu Xuan's arm, crushing everything!
After a moment of stalemate, Chu Lin was sent flying. After rolling on the ground for dozens of times, he finally came to a stop.
"Cough cough!"
Chu Lin struggled to get up. His body was in a sorry state. He bowed deeply towards Gu Xuan with a face full of respect, "Thank you, Senior Brother Gu, for showing mercy."
At this moment, Chu Lin was already completely convinced by Gu Xuan. Although the latter was only at the Xuan class 5-star, the power of his flames was incomparably dense. The power of his martial arts was something that Chu Lin could only look up to. With this kind of strength, let alone a new student, even Chu Lin himself would be able to obtain the fifty-third position.
Being defeated in the hands of such a genius was not an injustice at all.
Chu Lin gritted his teeth and painfully took out his token. "Senior Brother Gu, I've lost this time. According to the rules, you can take away one hundred treasure points from me."
"Oh?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Isn't the challenge only used to determine the ranking? Why is there such a rule?"
"How is that possible?" Chu Lin smiled. "Senior Brother Gu, you might not know this since you've just arrived. A challenge requires a certain level of qualification. If there's no price to pay, it'll be a mess."
Gu Xuan nodded slightly. This was true. If there was no price, the lower ranked could casually challenge the higher ranked. If they won, they would be promoted. If they lost, there would be no price to pay. The entire Heavenly Court would be in a mess.
"In order to prevent random challenges between elite students, the Heavenly Court has another rule. If the challenge is successful, it will automatically form a bet of one hundred treasure points. The loser will have to give the winner one hundred treasure points." Chu Lin explained.
"Is that so?" Gu Xuan rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he took out his gold token and used the method taught by Liu Yue 'er to transfer one hundred treasure points to Chu Lin's token.
"Senior Brother Gu, you …"
Chu Lin was stunned. Gu Xuan had clearly defeated him. Why would he give him treasure points?
Gu Xuan walked over and patted Chu Lin's shoulder. He smiled and said, "From now on, you're the owner of pavilion number fifty-three. Your pavilion number thirty-one belongs to me."
Gu Xuan directly left, leaving behind a stunned Chu Lin who did not know what to do.
This was really a little unreasonable. He had clearly won, but Gu Xuan wanted to give his treasure points to him. Moreover, he even gave up his pavilion. Why was this?
A moment later, Chu Lin was horrified as he thought of a possibility. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Senior Brother Gu can't be thinking of snatching those people's treasure points, right?"
No one had been paying attention to the fight between the two of them in the first place. Who won and who lost would depend on the changes in the rankings. Now that Gu Xuan had gone to pavilion number 131, everyone thought that Gu Xuan had lost. If Gu Xuan went to challenge someone else, those people would definitely agree without hesitation. However, with Gu Xuan's strength, these people's treasure points …
Exhaling, Chu Lin looked in the direction that Gu Xuan had left. A mischievous smile appeared on his face. It would be extremely interesting to make those insufferably arrogant elite students suffer.
As for spreading the news, Chu Lin did not even think about it. He had gained a huge advantage, and it was too late to hide it. Moreover, if he did so, it would mean that he wanted to be Gu Xuan's enemy. Chu Lin shuddered at the thought of going against such a character.
