Two hundred and seventieth eight chapters unkind request
After fighting for two hours and the battle was extremely fierce, Qi Zeyan suddenly sheathed his sword and retreated.
"In every battle before, I heard that you were always on point. Why are you fighting to the death with me today? You should know that if you continue fighting like this, your life is very likely to be in danger."
"The wisest thing to do is to let the monkey in the dark take action and leave again, right?"
Qi Zeyan looked at Gu Chen with burning eyes and asked.
Gu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned.
"Brother Qi generously attended the appointment today and said he would fight to the death. Naturally, I have no reason to back down. Brother Qi, you didn't say you wanted to kill me. Why do you seem to be wavering now?"
Qi Zeyan took a deep look at Gu Chen, and a feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.
"You and I didn't know each other before, but you made such a big fuss. Today, I really want to kill you to restore peace to both houses. But after fighting with you for so long, I feel that it would be too much for you to die now.
Too bad?"
Qi Zeyan's sword was put back into its sheath, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's swoosh.
"You want to use me as your stepping stone, and I also want to use you as my sharpening stone. Wait until you step into the king's realm to continue the unfinished battle. Only then will you make my heart move even more."
Qi Zeyan turned around and flew away. Gu Chen did not stop him, but just murmured, "He is not a simple person."
He sat cross-legged and meditated, closing his eyes and meditating.
The life-and-death battle just now had benefited him a lot, and he needed to digest it urgently.
After a while, Pang Yong and other heavenly killers had led the people away and came back to look for Gu Chen.
"Sir, how is the battle going? Did this person help you break through the bottleneck?"
Pang Yong said expectantly, this is already the eighth king, Gu Chen has created a miracle, which makes him look forward to his promotion.
Gu Chen didn't respond, just silently comprehending it, his whole body was filled with glowing light.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and slowly shook his head.
"Not even close..."
Qi Zeyan was very strong and helped Gu Chen more than any previous king. He felt that the bottleneck was almost broken.
However, every time at a critical moment, when the ocean of essence liquid in his dantian was about to shrink sharply and solidify into a golden elixir, he would feel a kind of restraint inexplicably.
This kind of restraint seems not only to come from the body, but also from this world.
It was as if something in the world was restraining him, and the invisible shackles were too difficult to break.
At the same time, the Heavenly Tyrant Bone in his body released a faint aura, faintly contending with this power.
Gu Chen felt more and more that the reason for overcoming difficulties was closely related to his physical constitution.
It seems that he needs more stimulation next time he fights.
"Then, sir, what should we do now? I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable opponent, right?"
Pang Yong and others couldn't help but look at each other.
These days, it is becoming more and more difficult for Gu Chen to find opponents. They pretend to be him to divert the attention of the academy's search team, but the effect is getting worse and worse.
Like today, Gu Chen did not hesitate to send his clone to show his face in front of others, and finally got an opponent like Qi Zeyan.
It is difficult to succeed using the same trick a second time. Since those new kings chose to avoid fighting today, they will not change their minds tomorrow.
"I still have a way, so I don't need to trouble you anymore."
Gu Chen thought about it and said to everyone, "You have worked hard these days, you can go back."
"Sir, when you break through, won't you need our protectors?"
Pang Yong hesitated.
"No."
Gu Chen shook his head, declined everyone's kindness, and gave the promised reward to Pang Yong to distribute.
Pang Yong and others then left one after another, while Gu Chen continued to meditate. By the time the injury was almost fully recovered, it was already early the next morning.
He once again disguised himself as an ordinary student and sneaked into the Zhenwu Academy, thinking about how to find an opponent today.
Not long after he entered the academy, he heard a piece of news about himself.
"Then Chen Gu is really brave. He provoked the Demon Clan a few days ago, and this time he even provoked the Stone Clan."
"He also took action against the Stone Clan? Didn't he just fight Qi Zeyan yesterday? How was the battle?"
"I don't know. I asked several students in the Nanhua Holy Land and they said that Qi Zeyan came back yesterday and didn't say anything. As for the Stone Clan, hey, I heard people say that they are spreading harsh words everywhere, saying that if Chen Gu dares to show up, he will be ruthless.
Teach him a lesson, and I guess he provoked them too."
"What a fierce man."
Several students walked past Gu Chen sadly, not realizing that the person they were talking about was right in front of them.
When Gu Chen heard this conversation, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and walked towards the residence of Shi Jian, the young master of the Stone Clan.
Not long after, he stood in front of Shi Jian and revealed his identity.
"Brother Shi lets people spread rumors around the academy. I wonder what the purpose is?"
Shi Jian smiled and asked the tribesmen around him, "Go and call Shi Polu."
Several Stone Tribe people nodded, glared at Gu Chen as usual, expressed their dissatisfaction with him, and then left.
"I want to help Brother Chen."
Only then did Shi Jian answer Gu Chen's question.
Gu Chen was silent. Although he had made some assumptions when he heard the news, he was still a little touched when the words came out of Shi Jian's mouth.
This is an extremely critical moment for him, and the other party's actions are undoubtedly a timely help.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Chen said solemnly.
"Brother Chen, you don't have to be polite. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with Miss Mu or even the Shenmu Sect behind her. This is just reciprocation."
Shi Jian said cheerfully.
The two chatted for a while, and then the Shi Polu whom Shi Jian mentioned arrived.
But this man, Gu Chen, knew that he was also one of the newly promoted kings this year and was very powerful. If it weren't for Shi Jian's special bloodline, he would be the boss of the Stone Clan students.
"Young Master, I'm here."
Shi Polu first greeted Shi Jian when he arrived, and it was obvious that he respected him very much.
"Polu, I've told you about the matter in advance. Just go with Brother Chen."
Shi Jian smiled.
Shi Polu nodded and turned around to glare at Gu Chen. "Huh, I'm taking advantage of you. If the young master hadn't said so, I wouldn't be your sparring partner!"
Gu Chen smiled nonchalantly, as he already understood the temperament of the Stone Tribe people.
"Brother Shi, I have another unkind favor."
He hesitated and said.
"Brother Chen, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
Gu Chen then expressed his thoughts, and when Shi Polu heard this, he immediately became furious.
"You bastard! What did you say? Say it again if you dare? It's not enough for me to be your opponent. Do you want to find another one?"
He was almost furious. What Gu Chen said was simply questioning his lack of strength!
"Brother Chen, Polu's strength is definitely no worse than other kings you have fought against."
Shi Jian explained, thinking that Gu Chen suspected that Shi Polu was not worthy of being his opponent.
"Brother Shi misunderstood. I'm not questioning Brother Polu's strength. The Stone Clan has outstanding talents, and Brother Polu is the best. There is no need to say more about his strength."
"In this case, why does Brother Chen want to find another opponent?" Shi Jian's face turned serious.
