One punch!
Wang Chu fainted from Chen Ba's slash. With a wave of Elder Lin's hand, two ordinary students who acted as odd-job workers dragged Wang Chu away for treatment.
Since Wang Chu had already been defeated, he had no choice but to let Lin He, who was ranked fifth, walk up to the fighting stage. The latter also randomly chose an unlucky person and ended the battle with one move.
After the top five matches were over, the attention paid to the subsequent matches was much less than before. Some of the elite students at the back were selected one by one. In the beginning, they were all insta-killed, but towards the end, only some of the middle level students were left. Only then did the competition take a little longer.
Since Gu Xuan had nothing else to do, he could only observe the situation of these people fighting. However, these people's performances were all ordinary, and no new dark horse appeared.
After a mere two hours, the first round of the competition was completely over.
In a battle between martial artists, unless their strength was particularly close, it would normally take two or three moves. Most of the time, they would be defeated in a single move. After all, martial artists were different from puppets. Puppets had low intelligence, so as long as the disparity in strength wasn't too great, they could delay for several moves. But in a battle between martial artists, a small disparity was enough to determine the victor!
When the last battle of the first round ended, the second round began.
In the Heavenly Court Tournament, there was no break between the battles. It would only end when the champion was determined. This was mainly to train the students' ability to fight for a long time.
Just like last time, Zhao Mayi casually picked a person and defeated him in one move.
"Junior Brother Gu, it seems that you are stronger than me. However, your luck is not as good as mine this time. You can only be eliminated in the second round."
Zhao Mayi walked down the battle stage, walked to Gu Xuan's side and said with a smile.
He was already very clear about Gu Xuan's methods. Earth-rank martial arts, vigorous flame power, and a tyrannical physical body. These were the foundations that allowed Gu Xuan to have such an exaggerated ability to challenge those of a higher rank.
Now that Gu Xuan had broken through a realm, his strength would definitely increase, but it wouldn't be too exaggerated. After all, one's realm could be broken through with the accumulation of resources, but these methods would take far too long to improve.
On the other hand, Chen Ba's breakthroughs were slow, and he was well-prepared. Thus, he wouldn't have such problems.
"Not necessarily." Glancing at Zhao Mayi, Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
"Oh?" Zhao Mayi raised his eyebrows and appeared to be somewhat surprised. Chen Ba's strength had already been exposed. Could it be that Gu Xuan still had other tricks up his sleeve?
"Gu Xuan, come on up. I want to defeat you and become the number one in the Heavenly Court!"
Chen Ba had already leaped onto the fighting ring. He looked at Gu Xuan with a strong desire to fight.
Gu Xuan leaped lightly and jumped onto the fighting ring.
Chen Ba looked at Gu Xuan's empty palm and frowned, "You don't have a weapon? Although my giant axe is far from a Spiritual Treasure, it is still extremely sharp. If you don't use a weapon, I won't be able to win."
Looking at Chen Ba, Gu Xuan smiled and raised his right hand. "This hand of mine is my weapon."
"Arrogant!" Chen Ba's face darkened. Even Wang Chu, who did not use weapons, had specially prepared a pair of iron gloves before fighting with him to prevent himself from being injured. Gu Xuan actually wanted to fight with him bare-handed?
Chen Ba's footsteps spread apart as he held the giant axe in his hand. A powerful feeling of strength involuntarily rose within him. Since he had already warned Gu Xuan, the academy would not blame him if Gu Xuan was injured because of this. As for Chen Ba himself, he did not mind at all.
Boom!
Chen Ba's flame energy circulated wildly and poured into the giant axe. The golden radiance was even more dazzling than when he fought with Wang Chu.
Under the surging golden radiance, Chen Ba's aura rose to the extreme. Although he was standing still, no one would doubt that as long as he swung his axe, he would be able to destroy everything. There was nothing he was not afraid of.
The two of them looked at each other. Gu Xuan also raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Looks like I guessed right. You can challenge those of a higher level because you have cultivated a Body Refining Cultivation Technique. Hence, your strength far exceeds those of the same level. Coincidentally, I also cultivate my physical body. This time, I will compete with you in strength."
Gu Xuan's words stunned everyone. They looked over in confusion as they did not understand what was going on.
Chen Ba was best at strength. In terms of strength, Chen Ba had already reached the standard of a normal One Star Honorable Realm. He was much stronger than an Honorable Realm puppet. To deal with such a warrior, the best way to deal with him was to avoid his attacks and win with skills. However, from what Gu Xuan had said, it seemed like he wanted to fight with Chen Ba with his bare hands.
Exchanging blows with Chen Ba like this, forget about Gu Xuan, even if it was a genuine one-star exalted rank martial artist, he would also lose without a doubt.
"Alright, I will fulfill your wish!" Chen Ba's eyes were also filled with anger. Although he believed that he was stronger than Gu Xuan, he still held Gu Xuan in high regard. However, Gu Xuan did not seem to care about him at all. This made him completely furious.
Boom!
Chen Ba took a step forward and his body shot out. A terrifying force tore through the air and an explosion sounded out.
The giant axe was shining with golden radiance. Chen Ba was in the air and the giant axe swung down. It was as if a god had descended.
In the face of this terrifying axe, Gu Xuan stood calmly. He clenched his right fist and punched out!
Using his physical body to fight against a sharp blade!
Looking at this scene, Zhao Mayi's eyelids twitched and his face changed drastically. He had fought with Chen Ba before and the latter's giant axe was not an ordinary item. It was extremely sharp. Gu Xuan had actually used his fist to fight against it. This was undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.
This was no longer a question of victory. It was a matter of life and death. The speed of the two of them was not something that he could stop. Not to mention him, even Old Lin was helpless after being shocked. The two of them were at the threshold of Honorable Realm. Their attacks were as fast as lightning.
Clang!
When this fist smashed onto the blade, it actually produced the sound of metal clashing. The sound spread out and shook the ears of many people, causing them to faintly feel a little pain.
However, no one was in the mood to pay attention to this. They just stared blankly at the battle stage with their mouths agape.
At this moment, on the battle stage, the collision between the fist and the divine weapon had ended. Gu Xuan's fist was still intact and there was not even the slightest bit of damage. On the other hand, Chen Ba was actually forced to take a step back from Gu Xuan's strength. The skin on his palm cracked and fresh blood dripped out!
Gu Xuan's fist actually really blocked the incomparably sharp battle-ax head-on? Many people felt a little dizzy.
What kind of physical strength was this? What kind of physical strength was this? Not to mention a human, even an ancient beast might not be able to do this.
Chen Ba held the giant axe in his hand with a dazed expression. The only thing he was worried about before was that he had split Gu Xuan in half with his axe and the academy would punish him severely. However, he never thought that he would be defeated by Gu Xuan with a single punch.
He was only holding the handle of the axe and his skin was already cracked by the huge force. However, Gu Xuan had directly punched the blade of the axe and he was completely fine?
Was his opponent a human or a freak formed by a divine weapon?
"You've lost." Gu Xuan glanced at Chen Ba and said plainly.
Chen Ba's body trembled. In the end, his face revealed a trace of disappointment. Although he was only at a slight disadvantage, there was no need to continue the battle.
