The scene presented on the martial arts arena was unexpectedly harmonious, but in the audience, all the bystanders exclaimed in disbelief.
Almost.
Yes, it was just a little bit close. They were all going to win with Nie Xiong. But Nie Xiong just lost completely in a mediocre way.
In their opinion, Gu Qingyang's methods were too terrifying and too weird. They really couldn't understand how powerful Gu Qingyang was.
In their opinion, from beginning to end, the methods Gu Qingyang displayed when defeating Nie Xiong were just a gust of wind.
Yes, the strong wind was indeed powerful when it first appeared, and it also gave them a thrilling feeling.
But at that time, they felt that Gu Qingyang's wind was still a little less interesting than Nie Xiong's thunder.
Therefore, when they saw those strong winds, they felt that Gu Qingyang would lose, and there was a high probability that he would lose.
But they thought a lot, but they just couldn't imagine that Gu Qingyang could still be alive, and that he could live so intact.
The breeze seemed ordinary, but it gave them a mysterious feeling and could withstand the terrifying thunder.
This scene.
Such a result is the real reason why they feel unbelievable and frightened. But now, they also feel a little confused.
This fact is indeed difficult for them to accept, but they also understand that this is a fact they have to accept.
After Qingfeng defused the thunder, Gu Qingyang could choose to defeat Nie Xiong.
By then, let alone Nie Xiong, he will have broken through to the fifth realm. Whether he can live a good life is still a matter of debate.
But Gu Qingyang didn't do this. He actually chose to give Nie Xiong a chance to break through, letting him take advantage of the situation and continue trying.
According to the rules of the competition, if it were not a life-or-death competition, then Nie Xiong would have lost.
At this moment, many people have complicated expressions.
They stared at the young man with black clothes and black hair, who was obviously quite masculine, but also looked very much like a woman, and were speechless for a long time.
Relying on the news they had already learned and the experience of on-site observation, they thought they had already seen everything about Gu Qingyang.
They even felt that Gu Qingyang had already been seen by them. But now, they felt that they were really wrong.
Gu Qingyang's methods are just like those in previous rumors, mysterious, ancient, simple yet strange and powerful, which is breathtaking.
And Gu Qingyang's character seems to be even more like this. Those of them who have watched it for a long time feel that it is better not to watch it after watching it.
Because if they don't look at it, at least they can still have a clear impression of Gu Qingyang.
But now, they feel that such impression should no longer exist.
At least for them, that's what happened. If they must give an evaluation to Gu Qingyang now.
Then, their only evaluation of Gu Qingyang is probably that it is unfathomable. This is probably the clearest understanding they can make.
Time passes like this.
After stopping, Gu Qingyang no longer had any intention of taking action. He just stood there and stared at the opponent in front of him from a distance.
His opponent was sitting cross-legged in front of him. At this moment, as long as he took action, it would be easy to defeat or even kill the opponent.
And he himself understands it.
If this was not a competition, on other occasions, he would definitely kill this man named Nie Xiong.
He does this for no other reason than to eliminate someone who is very likely to become his enemy in the future.
And the world of bone repair is inherently complicated.
To kill someone, there is no need for a reason.
But it doesn't work here, because this is Shenlu Academy, the rules here, and the environment here can make him convinced that this person is just an opponent.
Moreover, he has caused enough troubles in Shenlu Academy since he entered school, and he does not need to do any more other things.
In such an environment, he saw not only the so-called opponents or mortal enemies, but also the elders.
These people have great value in his eyes. If he can make proper use of them, he will be like a fish in water in this Shenlu Academy.
And now is a good opportunity.
Of course he doesn't value people like Nie Xiong, but some people value Nie Xiong. So, instead of killing someone who has not become an enemy without knowing how to adapt.
It's better to go with the flow and sell those elders a favor. When there is really big trouble in the future, you can use the favor to solve the problem.
At the same time, at the elders' table, the old men looked at Gu Qingyang and praised him repeatedly, as if they admired him very much.
Even several elders who were not from the Shadao Branch began to praise Gu Qingyang for being sensible. However, after a while, Nie Xiong still woke up.
"Thanks."
Nie Xiong first spit out a mouthful of blood and his face turned slightly pale. But he didn't pay attention to the injuries. The first thing he did was to thank Gu Qingyang.
This scene didn't make many people frown.
Everyone knew that it was Gu Qingyang who let him go.
To be honest, it's not an exaggeration for Nie Xiong to say thank you. By doing this, Gu Qingyang was completely fulfilling his wish.
"As expected of the newcomers, you have a place among the disciples in black. I, Nie Xiong, take over. I hope that I will have the opportunity to compete with you in the future."
"It's just that your gust of wind——"
"My wind is just wind. It is the same as the ordinary winds in the world. You can understand that what makes you lose is the true meaning of the great road."
"Moreover, although your thunderbolt has the power to destroy the world, it lacks the meaning of destroying the world. It only has its power but lacks its true meaning. This is the reason."
"Been taught a lesson."
Nie Xiong crossed his hands and hugged his shoulders, and then bowed deeply to Gu Qingyang. At this moment, there was only sincere gratitude in his expression.
However, Nie Xiong's performance made many viewers feel vaguely like a dream.
To be honest, Wan Qian's scene really made them feel too unreal.
What is this? A disciple in black who has already become famous has lost like this?
Moreover, if he is defeated at the hands of other disciples in black, then that's it.
However, someone like Nie Xiong was defeated by Gu Qingyang. And looking at Nie Xiong's behavior, he was obviously convinced of his defeat.
This result is nothing to Gu Qingyang and Nie Xiong, and both of them can accept this result.
But in the eyes of people like them, although it shocked them, it also made them feel that all this was too unreal.
In fact, this is normal.
If the common sense was only broken once, it would be nothing. At most, it would shock them. But the problem is that this time the common sense was broken many times.
What is truly fragmented is their understanding based on the original common sense.
Now, they are in desperate need of new common sense to repair their perceptions.
Otherwise, as long as Gu Qingyang is still fighting in front of them and stealing the limelight like he is now, they will feel like a dream.
"Refining."
However, before many onlookers could recover, under their witness, Nie Xiong had silently left the high platform.
He is a loser, and he did not lose unjustly.
Therefore, he can still accept the result of leaving here after just participating in the first battle.
Moreover, although he failed, in his failure he also got a little closer to the next realm. This is also a kind of gain.
At the same moment, Gu Qingyang silently recited the word "refining" in his heart, running the God-Swallowing Ancient Demonic Scripture to frantically refine the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This battle consumed 80% of his strength.
Although he won, and it seemed that he won extremely easily. But only he knew that the price he paid was not light.
This is a martial arts arena, a place similar to an arena. There are not so many creatures here for him to refine vitality and blood.
His injuries can only be the same as his strength. As the strength recovers, relying on the self-recovery power of this body, he can recover little by little.
But the college competition will not end.
Next, the ancient magic will allocate other opponents to him. The only thing he can have is this free time.
Once this period of time has passed, he will have to meet his next opponent. Therefore, this period of time is extremely precious.
However, no matter how far Gu Qingyang's condition has recovered.
Deep in the sky, the list with different names and colors is still beginning to change.
The eyes of everyone present were also focused on the list at this time.
It was clear to all of them that the opportunity to change things had arisen.
Whether the next battle will be exciting or not depends on the results given by the ancient techniques.
However, under everyone's expectant gaze, the name that appeared behind the name Gu Qingyang finally became clear.
"Liu Qianchou."
Looking at this name, many onlookers couldn't help but take a breath. After a while, they also started whispering again.
"Liu Qianchou, it's actually Liu Qianchou."
"My God, this time, can Gu Qingyang defeat his opponent again?"
"I'm looking forward to it."
"This Liu Qianchou is different from others. He is a bone cultivator who has entered the Glazed Realm."
"Moreover, this person only practices one discipline, and that is the art of swordsmanship with extremely terrifying offensive power."
"It is rumored that this person was born with a sword bone and was born with supreme sword energy."
"He entered Taoism and practiced with his innate sword energy. Until now, his strength can be ranked among the top ten disciples in black."
"hiss--"
…
Time passed slowly, and Gu Qingyang heard every sentence of the conversation clearly.
Through these conversations, he also had some knowledge of his next opponent.
However, Gu Qingyang also understood that these words were only the words of others after all.
He still needs to verify the strength of his opponent. And he himself began to recite the information he knew silently in his heart.
"Liu Qianchou."
"Liu Li Realm."
"Kendo Bone Cultivation."
"Extraordinary talent."
"Strong strength."
"Famous for a long time."
…
Each piece of information rushed into Gu Qingyang's mind like a tide. And at the next moment, a breath suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Although Gu Qingyang closed his eyes, he always released his own consciousness to detect the changes in this scene.
What surprised him was that when this breath appeared, he didn't notice anything beforehand.
“I’ve heard about his reputation for a long time, and I’m honored to ask for advice.”
Gu Qingyang had just opened his eyes when he heard such words from the person not far away. After the other person finished speaking, he silently came forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
In just a few breaths, the distance between Gu Qingyang and Liu Qianchou was only ten steps away.
