Three days later, Gu Yuan sat in the spectator seats of the arena, looking at the remaining contestants, only a dozen or so left, a flicker of thought crossing his eyes.
In the past few days, matches had continued one after another. As for Qin Erlang and the other four, they had all been eliminated by strong opponents, fortunately not running into Gu Yuan.
The current matches were the top thirteen down to the top six.
One person had a bye.
Coincidentally, it was Xuanyuan Tianxia who had the bye.
Gu Yuan's opponent this time was a student from Tianhai University: Ai Kun.
In his soul space, with a thought, he checked his destiny!
Lines of text continuously appeared on the Dao Luck Heavenly Map, emitting different colors.
【Name】: 【Ai Kun】
【Destiny God】: 【Chaos Void Kun】
【Destiny】: 【Void Chaos】
【Cultivation】: 【True Qi Realm (Perfection)】
【Destiny Numbers】: 【Swallow Heaven Devour Earth (Crimson)】, 【Void Realm (Crimson)】, 【Movement Technique Master (Purple)】, 【Heaven's Chosen (Purple)】, 【External Incarnation (Purple)】, 【Ball Proficiency (Azure)】, 【Rumors and Gossip (Azure)】, 【Diligent Endeavor (Azure)】.
Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His opponent was incredibly skilled at playing ball, and his movement techniques were also extremely fluid.
It was just that for some reason, he always liked to sport a middle part and fight in suspender pants.
Gu Yuan was a bit puzzled, could such clothing be practical for fighting?
Furthermore, he discovered that this man named Ai Kun had many supporters online, as well as many detractors. Was this the power of his destiny number, "Rumors and Gossip"?
Perhaps Ai Kun's appearance was exceptionally good, and he worked hard, earning the support of many female fans. Consequently, many male fans disliked him, leading to so much public opinion.
He actually didn't want to fight against this kind of person, because whether he lost or won, he would still be criticized. He had truly witnessed the combat prowess of these female fans, and he was just a small martial artist in the True Qi Realm, not some powerful figure. Some of these female fans even had higher cultivation levels than him.
What could he do? There was no way.
However, these concerns of Gu Yuan were actually unnecessary. He also had a group of female fans no less impressive than the opponent's.
These were commonly known as "mom fans."
"Alright, audience, the matches in our Martial Arts League are becoming increasingly intense. Next, we invite our contestant Gu Yuan and contestant Ai Kun to battle. Let us give them a warm welcome with applause!"
Gu Yuan stood on the stage, looking at the handsome man opposite him, wearing suspender pants and a middle-parted hairstyle, his eyes twitching slightly.
Ai Kun was currently enthusiastically greeting his female fans in the venue, his face beaming with a sunny smile, his hands constantly waving to female fans in all directions, eliciting screams.
Gu Yuan didn't understand. He truly didn't understand.
Why did Azure, which Gu Shao had called a training ground for gods and demons, have something akin to his previous life?
"Three, two, one, the match begins!"
As the referee's command rang out, Ai Kun, who had been greeting his fans, immediately became serious.
His gaze was sharp as he looked at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan could no longer tolerate it. The boundless blood energy within him erupted directly, forming a sea of blood energy that manifested behind him.
A large amount of blood energy condensed behind him, slowly forming a dragon of blood energy.
Crimson Fiend!
Qi and blood surged like a volcanic eruption, his body enveloped in bloody flames, radiating intense heat. A dark red aura covered his entire body. His height grew from 1.85 meters to 2 meters. Beneath his clothes, his muscles were as hard as steel, covered in lava-like patterns. His entire body was wrapped in dark red airflow, emitting an aura as deep and vast as an abyss.
He crouched down and suddenly erupted with extreme speed, charging towards Ai Kun. The long dragon formed by blood energy behind him also roared and followed Gu Yuan's figure, rushing towards Ai Kun.
A wicked curve formed on Ai Kun's lips. His eyes held a hint of disdain. He gently raised his tender hand and waved it slightly. The True Qi behind him instantly condensed into the shape of a giant Kun, emitting an aura of all-consuming power.
It transformed into a cyan streamer and instantly charged towards Gu Yuan's blood energy dragon.
Gu Yuan's eyes turned slightly serious. He felt a stronger devouring force than his destiny number "Swallow Heaven Devour Earth." It seemed that the Destiny God had a significant amplifying effect on destiny numbers.
Dozens of feet of distance were covered in the blink of an eye. Gu Yuan's body tore through the air, the rampant turbulent airflow and the booming sonic booms symbolizing the strength of Gu Yuan's speed.
He arrived at Ai Kun, who was standing still. His black hair was thrown back, his chest bulged outward, and with a roar,
The White Tiger Divine Lord in his lungs opened its golden eyes. Countless Geng Metal energies emanated and flowed through his trachea, mixed with highly concentrated airflow. It transformed into a golden beam of light, shooting directly towards Ai Kun's face.
It was accompanied by layers of sound waves, as if solidified, erupting from Gu Yuan's mouth. It carried the might of the Tiger Fiend Saber Technique he had cultivated, and this roar of breath sounded like a thunderclap!
Ai Kun's delicate face slightly changed. As the first to bear the brunt, he was shaken by this sound wave, his facial skin trembling. The disdain in his eyes disappeared, and he immediately became serious. Cyan True Qi instantly flew out from within his body, forming a thick shield to block in front of his face.
The sharp golden airflow penetrated half of the True Qi shield before slowly dissipating.
Gu Yuan was not finished. His body suddenly stretched, one hand on his waist, the other raised high. His palm suddenly formed a fist seal, and behind him, a Sea-Covering Giant Whale, similar to Ai Kun's vision, began to appear. It carried immeasurable weight, like a colossal whale crashing down on the sea, pressing down with immense force.
The air beneath the fist was violently parted like tides, emitting a fierce whistling sound, carrying an unparalleled oppressive force, smashing towards Ai Kun, who was continuously condensing True Qi for defense.
Bang!
A materialized burst of violent airflow erupted from the point where the two collided, like a level twelve typhoon raging.
Although he had anticipated it, the weight of Gu Yuan's punch was beyond Ai Kun's imagination. The moment they made contact, an unimaginable pressure swept through his entire body. The solidified shield he had painstakingly condensed with True Qi instantly cracked under the immense force.
Ai Kun gritted his teeth, his body bending under Gu Yuan's tremendous strength. However, the will to pursue freedom within him was ignited, and a long Kun cry resounded.
This caused his eyes to instantly turn crimson. His originally slender body seemed to inflate as if being filled with air, and the muscles within instantly erupted with seemingly inexhaustible strength. His waist straightened in an instant.
Gu Yuan's eyes changed slightly. He hadn't expected that Ai Kun, who had been completely suppressed by him, would suddenly erupt with such power. This power came with incredible ferocity, and even he couldn't suppress it for a moment.
"Gu Yuan!!"
A low roar, squeezed from Ai Kun's throat, erupted. Countless cyan True Qi burst forth from Ai Kun's body, carrying extreme penetration. They condensed into a continuously spiraling drill bit, accompanied by a rotating gale, charging towards Gu Yuan's heart.
