Gu Yuan, seeing Xuan Yuan Tian Xia, a genius who had always appeared at the top, felt hesitant. He wasn't sure if he should investigate or if Xuan Yuan Tian Xia would cause a backlash. However, the curiosity gnawing at him wouldn't subside if he didn't investigate.
With a fierce look, he activated the Dao Yun Tian Tu to investigate!
Lines of text materialized on the Dao Yun Tian Tu, exuding an unparalleled noble aura. Gu Yuan's eyes widened, feeling a sharp pain in his mind. He quickly circulated the Chaos Demonic Ape Meditation technique to suppress the stinging sensation. It took him a full few minutes to recover from the pain.
Looking at the characters above the Dao Yun Tian Tu, only two words flashed in his mind: "Holy crap! Amazing!"
[Name]: [Xuan Yuan Tian Xia]
[Destiny God]: [Three Sovereigns Governing the Realm]
[Destiny]: [Supreme Sage of Humanity]
[Realm]: [True Qi Realm (Perfection)]
[Fates]: [Mandated by Heaven (Gold)], [Human Sage Emperor (Gold)], [Innate Dao Embryo (Gold)], [Eternal Prodigy (Gold)], [Child of Fortune (Gold)], [Dragon Among Men (Crimson)], [Imperial Star in Fate (Crimson)], [Martial Arts Penetrating Divinity (Crimson)], [Concealing Brilliance (Purple)], [Benevolence and Virtue (Green)], [Impassive (Green)]
Five golds, three crimsons, one purple, and two greens.
Damn it, this is what a protagonist is. What am I compared to him? The Three Sovereigns Governing the Realm, if I'm not mistaken, refers to Sui Ren, Fu Xi, and Shen Nong (also known as Emperor Yan). Compared to my Zi Wei Great Emperor, he's not at all inferior. Gu Yuan estimated that the hope of humanity in this world lay in Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's hands, and perhaps he was even the chosen successor for humanity across all the heavens.
This world is truly not simple. A flicker of thought crossed Gu Yuan's eyes. So many divine beings incarnated, and even a successor of humanity appeared. Where did that place him? But undoubtedly, he was not on the side of Zi Wei Great Emperor. He wasn't interested in the schemes of these powerful beings. He needed to find a way to break free and become an observer. As for Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's fates, only [Martial Arts Penetrating Divinity (Crimson)] was useful to him. He couldn't use the others, and he didn't have any crimson Qi luck points to imprint them anyway. He would wait for the next opportunity.
As Gu Yuan was pondering, the match began. Xuan Yuan Tian Xia and Wan Chuan did not use any weapons. Wan Chuan wore a pair of profound golden gauntlets, while Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's hands were empty. A hint of anger flashed in Wan Chuan's eyes. He knew Xuan Yuan Tian Xia had a weapon, a long sword. You might be powerful, but I'm the third-ranked person in Qin Chuan Prefecture. Am I not even worthy of you drawing your weapon?
"Begin!"
As the referee announced the start, sapphire blue True Qi materialized on Wan Chuan's body. It was clearly water-attribute True Qi. It coiled around his fists like flowing water. He stomped forward heavily, his body low to the ground, charging straight towards Xuan Yuan Tian Xia. Xuan Yuan Tian Xia still appeared completely unguarded, his stern eyes fixed on Wan Chuan, making Wan Chuan's scalp tingle.
His body rapidly traversed dozens of meters, arriving before Xuan Yuan Tian Xia. He raised his right fist, imbued with immense gravity, and smashed it directly towards Xuan Yuan Tian Xia.
"This Wan Chuan is from Tian Hai University, isn't he? He's learning the Profound Water Heavy Water technique. The latter part, 'A Drop of Water Weighing a Thousand Jin,' is quite a feat," an old man with white hair and beard chuckled from the referee's stand.
"That's right. He's using it very proficiently. He's clearly put in a lot of effort," a middle-aged man chimed in, praising Wan Chuan.
"However, I believe Wan Chuan will lose very soon," a man whose appearance was noticeably younger than the others shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, the others turned their gaze to the arena. Their looks were now considerably more serious than at the beginning, for the speaker was the most deeply cultivated among the ten of them, at the seventh-tier perfection realm, on the verge of achieving the eighth-tier. His words had to be taken seriously.
At this moment, Wan Chuan's attack was about to reach Xuan Yuan Tian Xia. However, golden True Qi erupted from Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's body. Wan Chuan's fist slammed directly into it, his expression changing as an extremely powerful counter-force exploded from his fist. He was sent flying backward, his body unstable, retreating several meters before he could dissipate the force.
Wan Chuan looked at Xuan Yuan Tian Xia with a grim expression. Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's lips curved into a slight smile. With a flash, a golden stream of light streaked past. In an instant, he was before Wan Chuan, throwing a punch. It didn't exude any powerful aura, appearing just like a punch thrown by an ordinary person. But as it connected with Wan Chuan's abdomen, a sound like an air explosion rang out.
*Bang!*
*Boom!*
A white shockwave erupted, and Wan Chuan was instantly sent flying backward. Mid-flight, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, then with a muffled thud, he fell heavily to the ground. The referee, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and began the countdown.
"Five, four, three, two, one. Xuan Yuan Tian Xia wins!"
Within five seconds, Wan Chuan tried to struggle to his feet more than once, but the severe injury to his abdomen made it impossible to support his body, and he had to give up helplessly. As Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's victory was announced, the arena erupted in cheers. A one-hit kill, what more was there to say.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia brushed off his clothes and returned to his seat. On the other side, Gu Yuan looked at Wan Chuan, who was being carried away, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk, tsk, how miserable. A one-hit kill, eliminated in the first round. If he had encountered someone else, Wan Chuan might have won, but unfortunately, he met Xuan Yuan Tian Xia."
Gu Yuan shook his head. The most important person had already made their move. He didn't need to watch the rest. He closed his eyes and began to adjust his condition. By the third match, Gu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the peerlessly beautiful woman on the stage. A thought moved in his mind.
Dao Yun Tian Tu, investigate!
Information emerged on the Dao Yun Tian Tu. This was the Phoenix mentioned in Wu Gui's intel: Feng Wu Shuang. The princess of the Feng family in Tian Hai City. It was rumored that she was the most talented member of the Feng family in two thousand years.
As the Dao Yun Tian Tu's information surfaced, Gu Yuan's gaze shifted. Just as he expected.
