There was silence inside and outside the boundary.

On the high platform, Wu Daozi showed a clear expression. Peak Master Wu Wu nodded with satisfaction, and the other Peak Masters were also a little surprised.

Off the field, those disciples who had just laughed happily and shouted louder now wished they could dig a hole under their feet and bury their heads in it, pretending that they had not said anything just now.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

It took a long time before a disciple with a high emotional intelligence was able to speak and broke the silence.

"This guy is so boring. In such an important competition, he actually played a kid's trick like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He acted so realistically that he fooled everyone."

This was nothing more than a loss of face and there was a step up the ladder, which quickly gained everyone's unanimous approval.

"I was careless, I was careless for a moment..."

Some disciples took the opportunity to flatter the senior brother next to them.

"The secret skill of changing his appearance also has a certain contribution. Otherwise, even if I can't see it, I believe that several senior brothers will be able to discern it in advance through the details of his expression."

After hearing this, the faces of the senior brothers looked better.

They all coughed, then put on serious faces, and one by one they commented on the current situation.

"If things continue like this, it is really possible for Wugou Peak to occupy one of the top eight places. After nearly a hundred years of blank time, a disciple finally qualified for the Demon Blood Pond."

"I once heard an elder mention that more than 90 years ago, the last person to participate in the Demon-Conquering Trial at Wugou Peak was Wugou Sanshu. In that session, two of the three of them successfully climbed to the top of the mountain among the top eight.

Devil's Peak, except Mrs. Ruthless."

"Wugou Sanshu? This is the first time I've heard of it. Apart from Fairy Wugou and Madam Qingwu, who else came from Wugou Peak in the previous generation?"

"I don't know. The elder only said that she was from Zhonghuang Continent. She was an eccentric woman who loved to cause trouble. She left Wuzong when Fairy Wu Guo took over the position of peak leader."

A few people gossiped for a while, and then the topic returned to this trial.

"The big guy in eighth place shouldn't give up his spot."

"I know that guy. He is the younger generation disciple second only to Jiang Lintian in Wuqing Peak. He is also the new disciple king of that generation's entrance trial. He is now at the peak of the Five Realms."

Having learned from the past, they were more cautious in their words this time and did not dare to act alone in advance.

"The big guy wins because he has a slight advantage in cultivation, and He Gu has the advantageous secret skill to reduce the suppression of the Demon Suppressing Peak. Depending on the situation, the outcome of the two sides will be between 50 and 50."

"This kind of continuous secret skill must be consumed all the time. In my opinion, when the two of them fight, if He Gu can't maintain the operation of his secret skill, the eighth seat will still be big."

…

Just when their discussion became heated, He Gu had already reached the height of 700 feet on the Demon Suppressing Peak.

It is indeed the last word to have a big fist. All the disciples passing by him did not dare to act rashly against him anymore, which made him worry a lot along the way.

Except when he was distracted and defensive when overtaking others, he used his full strength at other times.

Seven hundred and fifty feet.

Eight hundred feet.

Eight hundred and fifty feet.

He Gu maintained an astonishing speed, like a runaway dark horse, surpassing his opponents one after another and pushing his ranking all the way to the top ten.

Before the last quarter of an hour, he successfully passed the ninth disciple, and then went straight to the final target line, the eighth disciple.

At this time, Jiang Lintian and the senior sister had climbed to the top one after another, and the next six disciples had all reached the critical height of 900 feet.

Soon, He Gu came within ten feet behind the eighth disciple.

The other party was a very stout man, wearing the clothes of a disciple of Wuqing Peak. He looked much older than him.

Out of his bad impression of Wuqingfeng, he secretly mobilized his spiritual power to prepare for attacks that might come at any time.

The big man also noticed He Gu's arrival, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked down the steps.

He Gu immediately slowed down and looked at him warily.

The big man didn't seem to like to talk. He stretched out a finger and said concisely: "One move, head-on confrontation, you beat you, I beat me."

As he spoke, his expression condensed and became very serious, as if he was saying, "Stop talking nonsense and take action quickly."

He Gu was naturally happy and nodded.

The opponent is at the peak level of the Five Realms, and is slightly stronger than him based on his cultivation alone.

But compared to him using his secret skills to efficiently offset the suppression from the Demon Suppressing Peak once and for all, the opponent has to allocate more spiritual power to deal with it, and needs to be distracted at all times to maintain the operation of the spiritual power crystals.

Since it was a head-to-head encounter, with the substantial physical enhancement brought about by the transformation, he felt that the Earth-Shaking Flame Fist was enough to decide the outcome.

You're welcome, the dark red spiritual flames burst out from your right arm, and in the blink of an eye, the entire fist was covered with blood-colored crystal scales.

After being covered twice with thick scales and wrapped in spiritual flames, his entire right arm visually doubled in size, full of a sense of violence.

The proportions to other parts of the body are a bit out of proportion, and just looking at the appearance is quite scary.

He Gu strode forward, attacked from below, and punched out.

Facing the flaming fist coming from below, the big man's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't show any sign of flinching.

At that moment, he was also performing a kind of boxing and Taoist technique.

The gray spiritual flame representing the earth spirit root quickly condensed into a substantial spiked glove on his huge fist. It had a calm appearance, but contained considerable power inside.

This crucial battle suddenly attracted the attention of all the onlookers, and even Jiang Lintian on the top of the mountain was watching silently.

They didn't know that the two of them had made a pact, and they were still thinking about how the next battle would develop.

The senior sister standing alone on the other side has an elegant figure and a smile, and behaves like a lady, graceful and pleasant.

But those beautiful eyes that were changing at any time were faintly flashing with a light that couldn't wait to have a fight.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the gray steady fist and the burning fire fist quickly came closer.

The next moment, the two fists finally collided.

To everyone's surprise, and beyond anyone's expectations, the gray fist was vulnerable to a single blow. It didn't even last a full breath, and the big man's body flew away with the sound.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And He Gu only felt that a lot of the spiritual power in his body had been drained away by the secret technique in operation.

Seeing that the victory was decided, he quickly stopped his fist attack.

According to the current situation, he won the contract with one move, and there was no need to hurt the opponent with another move.

Of course, he didn't completely trust the opponent, so he still maintained the power of the Taoist skills in his fists.

Flying backwards several feet, the big man had to step up more than a dozen steps before he could stand still.

He Gu looked down in shock.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, and then without saying anything, he put away his fists and stood aside to make way.

It seems that he has admitted defeat.

This scene caught all the watching disciples who were paying attention here by surprise, and they thought they had missed something.

The senior sister was quite bored and glanced at the big man below with disdain.

"Silver pewter tip..."

He turned to look at the changed He Gu with bright eyes, and then nodded as if he was convinced.

He Gu said "acceptance" and walked forward cautiously.

It wasn't until he passed the opponent and ran a safe distance away that he felt completely relieved and removed the Taoist power from his right fist.

I looked back and saw that the big guy had given up on climbing the mountain and was walking slowly down the mountain.

He Gu has refreshed his understanding, not everyone in Qingqing Peak is a sinister and cunning person.

Some people are ruthless to others, and some people are ruthless to themselves. He thinks the big guy in front of him probably belongs to the latter.

I thought of the old devil under the dark ditch again.

Although he is a foreigner, he still has a bright side of human nature, although this side was only revealed when he was dealing with the person pretending to be a demon.

Differences in race and factions, it seems that these cannot be completely used as criteria for distinguishing good guys from bad guys.

And from childhood to adulthood, both the master's teachings and the interactions with people around him have repeatedly emphasized that the demons are bad, and I have never heard that there are good people in the demons.

Over time, he came to believe it.

It's just that I'm a little shaken now.

Are there really pure good guys and pure bad guys in the world?

Or is it that there is no distinction between good and bad in all living things, and that they only have different ideas due to different interests?

If friends are good and enemies are bad, then is the distinction between good and bad still important?

He Gu suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with the way he had been looking at the world.

As for the answer to good or bad, he still couldn't figure it out for the moment.

However, he is still very clear about the distinction between friends and foes, and his attitude towards this is very firm.

Having made it into the top eight, the next step is to maintain the ranking and complete the remaining distance.
