"Make your move." Gu Xuan looked at Sun Lei and said indifferently.
"You actually want me to make the first move? Good, looks like you won't have the chance to make your move! "Sun Lei sneered and suddenly took a step forward.
Sun Lei's aura increased by a little when he took this step.
"Divine Dragon Nine Steps!"
Sun Lei let out a low cry. His steps were like a dragon as he suddenly took one step at a time. The aura on his body increased by a little. When he took the ninth step, his aura had also reached its peak.
Rumble!
After the ninth step, Sun Lei threw a punch forward. The aura that had accumulated in his body ferociously surged out, causing a surging air wave.
"World Shaking Emperor Fist!"
Gu Xuan let out a low cry in his heart. He clenched his fist and the second star imprint on his chest lit up once again. This second star imprint could not be maintained without the replenishment of the fire agglomerating pill. However, it was sufficient for Gu Xuan to instantly erupt!
Bang!
When the two fists collided, a wave of air was sent flying, emitting an explosive sound.
Boom boom boom!
Both of their bodies retreated backwards. Gu Xuan stopped after taking three steps back. However, Sun Lei took a total of five steps back!
After this exchange, it was obvious who was stronger between the two of them.
"This …" Sun Lei's eyes were filled with disbelief. It was as though he did not believe that he would lose. Gu Xuan's aura was clearly much weaker than his. However, the strength that he erupted with was much stronger than his.
"If you can receive this punch of mine, consider it my loss. I can only use this punch once within a short period of time." Gu Xuan looked at Sun Lei and said faintly.
Only then did the Ice River Valley's disciples come to a realization. It turned out that Gu Xuan could only erupt with this kind of strength once. In that case, it was normal for him to temporarily suppress Sun Lei.
After all, it was easy to erupt once. However, it was even more difficult to maintain fighting strength for a long period of time.
However, it was not easy for Gu Xuan to gain the upper hand in a fight with Sun Lei. Although his tone was a little arrogant, his strength was barely worthy of it.
"No, the person who lost is me." Sun Lei shook his head. His face was filled with disappointment.
An Ice River Valley's disciple at the side frowned. He said with some displeasure, "Senior Brother Sun, why are you being so modest? Although you have lost a punch, you can unleash a punch of this strength ten or a hundred times. However, he has only used it once. Unless he is completely defeated, how can one win or lose?"
"That's right, Senior Brother Sun. You're only at a slight disadvantage in this punch, but you'll definitely be able to win after this," another person said.
"Both of you, shut up!" Sun Lei's expression was unkind as he reprimanded them. Only then did the two of them hurriedly swallow their words.
Sun Lei sighed again, "Sigh, I accept my loss wholeheartedly this time. It's not a question of whether I can fight again. If Gu Xuan didn't hold back, I wouldn't have the strength to fight anymore."
Others only saw that he had lost by a little, but he knew how powerful Gu Xuan was. In the previous punch, Gu Xuan's strength was much stronger than his. Just this strength alone was enough to injure him. However, after Gu Xuan's punch crushed him, he suddenly withdrew more than half of it. This was why his body wasn't injured.
It was already extraordinary that Gu Xuan could defeat him. What was even more frightening was that Gu Xuan was actually able to withdraw a portion of his punch. It was enough to gain the upper hand without injuring him.
To be able to do this in a split second was truly amazing. It could even be said that it was inconceivable.
Only Sun Lei, who was directly involved, knew how frightening Gu Xuan was.
"Do you have any enmity with me? I don't need to hurt you." Gu Xuan shook his head.
Sun Lei's face was filled with guilt. He bowed respectfully to Gu Xuan, "Previously, I spoke rudely and offended Junior Brother. I apologize! Please forgive me, Junior Brother Gu Xuan. "
"I also know that you're doing this out of concern for Lin Hao. I won't blame you." Gu Xuan nodded.
Previously, Lin Hao had made so many unreliable friends. Now that Gu Xuan had appeared again and he was only a Three-star Honorable Rank, it was normal for Sun Lei and the others to question him.
"Gu Xuan, your strength is actually …"
Lin Hao looked at Gu Xuan and revealed a bitter smile. Previously, when he fought with Gu Xuan, he felt that Gu Xuan's strength was below his. When the two of them reached a compromise, he thought that Gu Xuan had taken advantage of him.
It turned out that Gu Xuan hadn't unleashed his true strength. This made him feel fortunate that he hadn't attacked Gu Xuan previously and had chosen to befriend Gu Xuan.
"Back then, there were so many people who were eyeing me. I had to preserve my strength. Didn't you also preserve some trump cards?" Gu Xuan smiled.
Lin Hao nodded helplessly. Although he had preserved some strength, he was still far from Gu Xuan.
"Gu Xuan, you shouldn't be too clear about the situation in Flame Demon Hall. Why don't I explain it to you?"
Sun Lei looked at Gu Xuan with sincerity.
Gu Xuan possessed sufficient strength but didn't injure him. Moreover, Gu Xuan had saved his face. This made Sun Lei feel grateful.
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded. Many of the top figures here were opponents that he would have to face. Although Gu Xuan wasn't inferior to others, it was always beneficial to know more about them.
"Junior Brother Gu Xuan, your strength and talent are indeed extraordinary. However, to be honest, there is still a huge gap between you and the top figures."
Sun Lei's face was solemn. "Your punch just now has already reached the threshold of Peak Honourable Realm. However, the geniuses of the two large sects far exceed Peak Honourable Realm."
"Of the two large sects, the number one is Black Sword Sect. The leading martial artist is called Lin Ling. His strength is comparable to a few Peak Honourable Realm martial artists. The second is Divine Illumination Sect. The leading martial artist is called Yue Xiao. His strength is comparable to Lin Ling. Below the two of them, there are more than ten people with Peak Honourable Realm strength!"
"These two sects aren't weak." Gu Xuan smiled.
"The large sects dominate the South-East region. How can it be so simple? Every time, seventy to eighty percent of the inheritance slots are monopolized by these two large sects. There are also a few medium-sized sects. As for the small sects …"
Speaking of this, Sun Lei couldn't help but shake his head. "Junior Brother Gu Xuan, it's not that I want to put you down or belittle you. It's just that the martial artists of the small sects often don't have a solid foundation. Hence, even if they are talented, they won't be selected. I'm afraid that your Condensing Fire Pill will be wasted."
Boom boom!
Sun Lei wanted to let Gu Xuan accept reality first so that there wouldn't be too big of a difference if he wasn't selected. However, at this moment, the entire Flame Demon Hall began to shake.
"They are finally announcing the inheritance assessment slots!" The martial artists were all excited and couldn't hide their anticipation.
Being selected for the inheritance was a great honor. Even if they were eliminated at the beginning, they would still be heavily nurtured by the sect.
