The Challenge
The corner of Peng Zhen's mouth twitched, but quickly returned to normal. He snickered, "What? You've been exposed and you're angry now? So what? If you want to prove that your assessment is not fake, then fight me once. Someone with such a high assessment can't possibly lose to me. "
"If I win, then you will leave the Palace of Fortune. If you win, then I will do the same. Gu Xuan, do you dare?"
Yang Yu's face showed signs of anger. In a low voice, he said, "Peng Zhen, don't go overboard. Junior Gu is a genius who can challenge those of a higher cultivation level. So are you. Do you want Junior Gu to challenge you by two cultivation levels?"
"So what!" Peng Zhen sneered, "If Gu Xuan's understanding of martial arts is higher than the Supreme Headmaster's, then how can he not be my opponent?"
Everyone also became suspicious. If Gu Xuan really had such a high understanding of martial arts, then jumping levels to challenge Peng Zhen did not seem to be something completely impossible.
"Alright, then I accept your challenge. But let's change the wager." Before Yang Yu could speak, Gu Xuan nodded.
"What? Are you scared?" Peng Zhen sneered.
"If I lose, I will still leave the Palace of Fortune. If you lose, then give me one thousand Condensing Fire Pills," Gu Xuan said.
"One thousand Condensing Fire Pills, are you asking for too much?" Peng Zhen said angrily. As a genius, he had many rewards from the House. He had also received some treasures. Even with the help from his House, he only had around seven hundred Condensing Fire Pills.
Gu Xuan wanted one thousand Condensing Fire Pills right off the bat. This was beyond what he could afford.
"Gu Xuan, I can only promise you one hundred Condensing Fire Pills. Don't go overboard!" Peng Zhen said coldly.
"I'm going overboard?" Gu Xuan sneered, "From the beginning, you were the one who provoked me and forced me to fight you. You even wanted to kick me out of the Palace of Fortune. Now you're turning around. You sure are shameless. I won't waste time with you. One thousand Condensing Fire Pills. If you agree, then fight. If you don't, then get lost."
"You!"
Peng Zhen's face was ashen. Even if he took out a thousand Condensing Fire Pills, he would go bankrupt. After all, he was only unhappy with Gu Xuan and had no enmity with him. It was not worth it to take such a big risk to deal with Gu Xuan.
"Senior Yang, let's go." Gu Xuan sneered as he shook his head, before turning around and speaking to Yang Yu.
"Alright." Yang Yu nodded.
"Wait!" Peng Zhen scolded harshly as he stared fixedly at Gu Xuan. "Isn't it just a thousand Fire Condensing Pills? You're just trying to cover your tracks by making such a request. I'm going to expose you."
Gu Xuan stopped in his tracks and glanced at Peng Zhen with pity. Originally, he couldn't be bothered to make Peng Zhen go bankrupt. Since Peng Zhen insisted, he couldn't be blamed.
Peng Zhen pointed at a nearby battle platform and said, "Let's decide the victor here!"
The two of them jumped onto the battle platform. Yang Yu and the rest followed and surrounded them. Even some of the top geniuses in the cultivation rooms were called out.
The two of them were considered the weakest in the Palace of Fortune. However, they had just entered the Palace of Fortune and weren't at the peak of the Honorable Stage.
Moreover, Gu Xuan's performance and the shocking bet added a lot of excitement to this battle.
Peng Zhen stared at Gu Xuan with a cold smile in his eyes. Even though he was an Eight Star Honorable Stage, his strength was enough to kill an ordinary peak Honorable Stage expert. After all, Gu Xuan was two levels lower than him. He didn't believe that Gu Xuan could be his opponent.
If Gu Xuan surpassed him and reached the Eight Star Honorable Stage, wouldn't he be able to fight against a King Stage expert? This was absolutely impossible.
"Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan, now that you and I have agreed to a battle, I don't care if your martial arts are amazing or if you're just using tricks. Once you leave the Palace of Fortune, you'll never be able to make a comeback. The number one genius in the Palace of Fortune will definitely be me, Peng Zhen!"
Peng Zhen shouted angrily in his heart as the power of fire in his body surged out.
The dark green power of fire circled around his body and condensed into a giant shadow of a demon.
"Moving Mountain Incantation!"
Many people couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this martial art.
The Moving Mountain Incantation was an Earth Class Level Three martial art. Moreover, it was the most powerful of all Level Three martial arts. It could create the shadow of a demon with immense strength. As long as it could be created, it could directly crush a peak Honorable Stage expert.
Peng Zhen's martial arts evaluation was relatively high. Now that he was displaying it, it was no small matter.
At this moment, the crowd was even more confused about Gu Xuan. Peng Zhen's evaluation was only half of Gu Xuan's. If Peng Zhen was already so terrifying, then could Gu Xuan display a martial art that was even stronger than Peng Zhen's?
"Roar!"
The shadow of the demon seemed real. With a roar, it pounced towards Gu Xuan. Its power was so strong that it was as if a real demon from the ancient times had descended and was about to slaughter everyone in the world!
"Junior Brother Gu, watch out!"
Yang Yu's expression changed, and he hurriedly roared. He could feel that the Fiendgod's shadow carried traces of killing intent.
Gu Xuan looked at the shadow of the demon calmly and raised his palm casually.
"Get out!"
With a roar, Gu Xuan's aura rose to the peak in an instant. He then threw out a palm!
Rumble!
A surging palm force surged out of Gu Xuan's body and heavily slammed against the enormous Godfiend Illusory Figure.
Boom!
The illusory figure instantly exploded and was annihilated into nothingness.
With a palm force, the Ancient Demon was instantly slaughtered!
"Impossible! You are just using brute force. How can you break my demon? "Peng Zhen's face changed drastically and he shouted at Gu Xuan.
"So what if you are using brute force? I can break everything with brute force!"
Gu Xuan sneered and took a step forward. With a wave of his palm, a terrifying palm force was thrown out again and went straight towards Peng Zhen.
"Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Peng Zhen flew back. He could not withstand Gu Xuan's blow even after using his strongest martial art, the Demon God Shadow. He did not have any ability to fight against Gu Xuan.
However, Gu Xuan's palm force was extremely fast. In an instant, it wrapped around him and lifted him up, slamming him heavily on the ground.
Bang!
The fighting stage shook violently. A loud crash and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
"Do you think you are qualified to challenge me? Now, do you know whether my martial art evaluation is real or fake?"
Gu Xuan looked at Peng Zhen, who was lying on the ground, and said flatly.
"This …"
The surrounding onlookers were completely stunned at this moment. Some of them were unable to react in time. This time around, they had originally wanted to see a fierce battle between two giants. However, they did not expect that it would be a one-sided crushing. Furthermore, the person being crushed was Peng Zhen, who they had always thought highly of.
