To win in one move
After returning to his residence, Gu Xuan first practiced the Star Plucking Hand again. He had just broken through and was far from reaching the level of perfection.
After cultivating for an entire night, Gu Xuan only managed to perfect some of the minor flaws in the Star Picking Hand on the morning of the second day. Only now could the Star Picking Hand be considered a true Earth Rank Martial Art. After doing so, Gu Xuan stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
When Gu Xuan arrived at the thirtieth pavilion, the atmosphere of the Heavenly Court became lively.
The martial artist in the thirtieth pavilion was called Gu Qin. She was a rare female among the elite students.
Normally, when a girl was valued by the academy, she would be like Liu Yue 'er and Senior Sister Su. She would be taken in as a disciple by a King class expert and undergo special training.
However, this zither was different. It had to enter the Heavenly Court and compete with many geniuses. It had also won the respect of many people.
Gu Qin was already at the Profound Grade 9 star realm, and to be able to be ranked 30th on the Mountain River List, other than being a woman, Gu Qin's strength was not weak.
While Gu Xuan was waiting outside, many elite students had already gathered around.
Gu Xuan was already famous in the Heaven Institution, and was not below the top five super geniuses of the Mountain River List. As for Gu Qin, she was one of the few female disciples in the elite students, and was the highest ranked female disciple, she received even more attention than Gu Xuan.
Although Gu Qin was a female disciple, the majority of the people did not think highly of Gu Xuan, after all, between the two of them, there was a difference of 20 ranks. In the Mountain River List, the higher the ranks, the more terrifying the difference was, and the strength that Gu Xuan displayed was much weaker than Gu Qin.
Not long after, a short-haired woman walked out. She was wearing training clothes and looked very refined.
"Gu Xuan, I've heard that you've been challenging your way up to the 51st place. Now that we're going to spar, you've got to go easy on me, okay?" Gu Qin looked at Gu Xuan and chuckled out.
Gu Xuan glanced at the guqin and did not say anything. He slowly raised his fist.
This action also caused many people to be stunned. Gu Xuan had challenged too many people before, causing his martial arts to be remembered by many people. And now, Gu Xuan's appearance clearly indicated that he was going to execute a Human Tier Second Grade martial art.
Gu Xuan had defeated opponents on the same level as Lin Zong using human tier 2 martial arts, but now Gu Xuan was facing a guqin ranked 30th, who was much stronger than Lin Zong.
They didn't even think that Gu Xuan could defeat Gu Qin. Gu Xuan actually wanted to use a Human Tier Second Tier Martial Art to deal with Gu Qin. This was too arrogant.
"That's not right. Why is the martial arts that Gu Xuan is using now so much stronger than before?"
But soon, some people found something strange. Although it was also a Human Tier Level Two Martial Skill, the World Shaking Imperial Fist, when Gu Xuan displayed it, it was far from being comparable to before. There was a majestic aura, as if the divine power of heaven and earth was poured into his fist.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Gu Xuan's fist force already rushed out, collapsing mountains and splitting the earth!
Gu Qin was also taken aback. She clearly did not expect that Gu Xuan Yun's second level human step martial arts could actually have such a strong power. She hurriedly put her five fingers together and fiercely slashed. Using her hand as a sword, she slashed out a sharp sword light.
Bang!
The sword light collided with the fist force and immediately shattered. The shockwave from the explosion of the two forces blasted her body, causing her face to turn pale. She hurriedly circulated the power of flame to resist. Just as she stabilized herself, she found that Gu Xuan's finger was already in front of her neck. As long as the latter was willing, he could kill her ten times over with just a finger light.
"You've lost," Gu Xuan said faintly.
Gu Qin nodded with a helpless expression as she handed five hundred Treasure Points to Gu Xuan.
The gap between her and Gu Xuan's strength was too big. Even a Human Tier Second Tier Martial Art was enough to defeat her.
Gu Xuan withdrew his finger and slowly said, "Your strength is actually not bad, but you focus too much on your moves. The elite students of the Heavenly Court are protective of the fairer sex, so they are not willing to use fierce moves against you. You can take advantage of them, but in a real fight, there are too many disadvantages."
Gu Xuan had now comprehended the Star Plucking Hand to the Earth Tier. Any martial art that he casually displayed would be at the level of half a step to the Earth Tier. However, it was only comparable to the Star Plucking Hand from before. For Gu Qin to be defeated by a martial art of this level in one move, it could only be said that she was too weak in terms of strength.
Gu Qin was stunned, and a strange look appeared in her eyes. In the end, she nodded and said, "Thank you."
When Gu Xuan left the pavilion where the zither was located, those elite students looked at Gu Xuan with some anger in their eyes. Although Gu Xuan's strength had indeed exceeded their expectations, Gu Xuan actually treated a woman in such a rude and unreasonable manner. It was really too outrageous.
More importantly, before Gu Xuan left, he gave Gu Qin some pointers. In their eyes, he did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Humph! I don't believe that Gu Xuan has the strength to defeat all the senior brothers in front of him. "
"But for Gu Xuan to have such strength, he is much stronger than the rest of us."
"Let's wait and see, Gu Qin is the weakest one, and her strength is even weaker than many of the senior brothers in the thirties. This ten thousand treasure points, he will definitely lose it all."
While they were discussing, one of them sneered and walked forward: "Of course, I have already grasped Gu Xuan's strength, I can defeat him in three moves!"
"Senior Brother Li Heng!"
When the elite students saw him, their spirits were roused, and they greeted him respectfully. He was Li Heng, who was ranked 29.
Different from Gu Qin, Li Heng completely relied on his own strength to obtain his ranking, and had stabilized his position in the top 30 of the Mountain River List for two months. Because of that, his family was conferred as a Marquis Family!
Li Heng quickly walked forward, his gaze cold as he looked at Gu Xuan: "You are truly strong, but you are still underestimating the strength of the top 30 of the Mountain River List. Gu Qin is a woman, and there are too many reasons for her to be ranked 30. But I am different, I relied on my own strength to reach my current position."
Li Heng's mouth revealed a smile: "Make your move now, that martial art should be your trump card, it should be half a step into the Earth Stage. Previously, you wanted to disguise it as a second grade Mortal Stage martial art, but it seems like you already had a plan. But you should not have revealed it when you were dealing with Gu Qin. Now that you have no trump card, you can only be easily defeated by me."
"Trump card?" Gu Xuan laughed, "You overestimate my martial art. Against a woman, I do not wish to leave any injuries on her, but against you, it is different. If you can take this move of mine, it will be considered your victory!"
Gu Xuan raised his palm, one after another of the Star Plucking Inscriptions lit up, a total of 21 of them, shining with starlight auras!
