"What in the world is going on?
Could it be that you guys know each other and are cheating intentionally? "
The Pagoda Master rushed to the light barrier and slapped it, wanting to enter.
Unfortunately, the light barrier did not budge.
"Damn it, are you guys in cahoots or not?
There's no reason for an enemy that I can't even defeat to admit defeat to you directly!
Gu Xuan, is there something fishy about you? "
The Pagoda Master seemed to be furious and indignant.
In that fight earlier on, he was nearly killed with a single move.
Yet, Gu Xuan walked in and performed some acrobatics and the enemy knelt down and begged for mercy?
Such shameless cheating corrupted the morals of society and led a bunch of disciples who were only a few hundred thousand years old astray.

Of course, none of that was important. What was important was that he had embarrassed the Pagoda Master! Bang! Bang! Bang! The Pagoda Master slapped the light barrier with all his might without any manners.
The elders and disciples of the Pagoda lineage wanted to cover their faces – this was unbearable! Why should you care how guest Gu Xuan won? You're the one who benefits from this! Why do you act as though you lost?
"Guest Elder Gu Xuan is indeed better than his teacher.
Pagoda Master, I think you can give up your position soon and become a Grand Elder to enjoy your life. "
Hero Ke's mocking tone was clearly trying to drive a wedge between them.
The Pagoda Master was immune to such provocations and ignored them completely.
However, he was still angry.
He was good at pretending as well, alright?
This Gu Xuan brat was insensible and stole all the limelight! Gu Xuan's attitude towards the Pagoda Master was the same as the Pagoda Master's attitude towards Hero Ke – he ignored him completely.
He circled the 'brother enemy' who was kneeling on the ground a few times and clicked his tongue in wonder.
In reality, Gu Xuan had not expected the Formless Fiend Hound to kneel so quickly. He thought that it would have to go through a battle no matter what.
To think that this fella would be so cowardly.
"This transformation is truly marvelous and lifelike. Even I didn't notice it in the slightest."
Gu Xuan rubbed his chin.
If not for the jade skeleton telling him about the tests of the three trials, he would not have realized the true nature of the person before him.
The three trials tested 'martial', 'soul' and 'physique' respectively.
'Martial' referred to the Martial Dao.
How was the Martial Dao tested?
If it was just a matter of strength, then there was no need for this "Brother Enemy" to exist. Wouldn't it be fine to just set up an even more powerful Abyssal Blade Demon?
Therefore, Gu Xuan first guessed that the true test of the first round was actually a test of martial comprehension! To be more specific, it was a test of the rules, laws, and the use and control of various types of energy.
How should he test this?
After all, there was only one enemy.
If he wanted to test martial arts, he had to at least know how to do it, right?
There were so many martial artists present, but they were all good at different martial arts.
They couldn't possibly use different martial arts to fight, could they?
What was the difference between that and an ordinary fight?
Hence, Gu Xuan immediately thought that this' enemy brother 'would definitely retaliate according to the martial arts that his opponent used! In other words, he would use the exact same martial arts as his enemy.
Even their moves were the same! However, it was impossible for such an all-rounded martial artist to control all martial arts to exist.
Then, there was only one possibility left — imitation! Gu Xuan quickly searched through the memories he had inherited from the misty golden lotus in the Heaven Burial Wasteland. He had already locked onto a four-word name.
Recalling that the Pagoda Master had activated the Core of the Ancient Pagoda with the Way of the Fist, but the 'enemy brother' had retaliated with an even more powerful fist technique and almost killed him, Gu Xuan was already ninety percent sure of guessing the identity of this' enemy brother '.
After that, this' enemy brother 'even said that he even knew the Way of Poison. Gu Xuan was a hundred percent sure of guessing his identity.
"Alright, don't kneel. Show your true form.
Faceless Demon Hound! "
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
He couldn't wait to see the legendary and mysterious Faceless Demonic Hound.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The 'enemy brother' respectfully knelt at Gu Xuan's feet and nodded in agreement.
Buzz.
His body trembled slightly and turned into dust.
Then, a one-meter-long transparent creature pushed aside a pile of metal fragments on the ground and drilled out of the ground.
The moment it appeared, the Pagoda Master and Young Hero Ke were stunned.
"How is this possible?
That's the Faceless Demon Hound! Damn it, no wonder I lost! "
The Pagoda Master cried out in shock and then knocked on the light barrier even more fiercely.
"Gu Xuan, let me in!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
"Your Excellency, this is my true form."
The Faceless Demon Hound stuck out its transparent tongue and sat obediently in front of Gu Xuan, not even daring to breathe loudly.
It couldn't help it. This person in front of it was too scary.
No, it was too frightening! After mastering so many Ways, even if it wanted to imitate them, it couldn't do so at the same time.
Moreover, when it imitated the opponent's Ways, it could also imitate the opponent's current realm.
However, when it attacked, the power of its attack could be increased by a small realm, and it could always suppress the opponent.
Simply put, if the opponent was an ordinary Great Perfection deity and used a fist technique to attack it, it could completely imitate the opponent's Way of the Fist and the ordinary Great Perfection deity, and increase the power of its attack to that of a Great Perfection deity.
It was the same for a Saint.
This was the Faceless Demon Hound's ability to survive in one-on-one battles and win in every battle! But when facing Gu Xuan, this ability was completely ineffective.
Gu Xuan had grasped too many Ways of the Ways. Once he executed four or more Ways of the Ways of the Faceless Demon Hound, it would be a blind spot.
The Faceless Demon Hound couldn't imitate more than four Ways of the Ways of the Way.
Therefore, it pursued a one-on-one battle.
Even if a martial artist grasped many Ways of the Ways of the Way, they would only execute two or three of the strongest Ways of the Ways of the Way of the Way.
Gu Xuan's Way of Martial Dao was probably comparable with three or four martial artists.
This wasn't considered much. Most importantly, Gu Xuan was only a mid-level saint.
If the Faceless Demon Hound wanted to imitate Gu Xuan's Way of the Way of the Way, it had to imitate Gu Xuan's realm.
With the Faceless Demon Hound's enhancement, its attack would at most be at the level of a high-level saint.
With Gu Xuan's strength, he could even kill an ordinary Great Perfection deity with a sneak attack and a one-hit kill.
Imitating Gu Xuan's Way of Martial Dao was the same as courting death and was meaningless.
Even so, the naive Faceless Demon Hound still believed that it could defeat Gu Xuan.
After all, it had a certain combat strength. Even if it didn't imitate anything, it could easily kill most of the peak stage saints.
Furthermore, it still had a backup plan.
The reason why it stood in this area and didn't move was because it could absorb the energy from the Abyssal Blade Demon's body fragments and execute an ordinary Great Perfection deity's Metal Elemental Dao.
It was precisely because of this that it transformed into the Abyssal Blade Demon's appearance and used this place as the battlefield.
Furthermore, as the ultimate guardian of the first checkpoint, he had some privileges and could increase his combat strength.
Therefore, even if Gu Xuan executed the Time Space Dao, the Faceless Demon Hound still didn't believe that it would lose.
The true reason why the Faceless Demon Hound's defense was because Gu Xuan was actually a True Lord! A True Lord with a divine body! A True Lord that didn't use any Ways of Martial Dao and could use just his physical body to crush the Faceless Demon Hound. He was the natural nemesis of the Faceless Demon Hound! The Faceless Demon Hound didn't have the ability to kill a True Lord! It could only rely on the metal fragments underground to provide energy. It could scare people and torture weak people, but it couldn't exhaust a True Lord's divine body! Therefore, when it saw Gu Xuan use his divine body to heal its shattered chest, the Faceless Demon Hound immediately collapsed.
In the Faceless Demon Hound's eyes, a True Lord was Gu Xuan's true identity. He was proficient in all kinds of Ways of Martial Dao and used them to fight. It was just his cover.
More importantly, Gu Xuan seemed to have seen through its lie and knew that killing it would also allow him to pass the first checkpoint.
For the sake of its life, what else could it do but surrender?
It didn't know that Gu Xuan was at most a half-step True Lord. Otherwise, who knew what it would think?
"It's indeed transparent, but I can still see its outline.
It can't be considered invisible and can't be hidden from the eyes of an expert.
But it's still very interesting! "
Gu Xuan licked his lips.
The Faceless Demon Hound was good stuff. He had to think of a way to get it out!
