179: People from Starry Sky City have arrived! A banquet is in order!
All the Grandmasters within Xia Country have been mobilized to the Border Battlefield, which means that the highest level of combat power currently in Xia Country is the Glazed Realm.
However, hearing Instructor Chen Feiyang say this, Gu Chen also knew that the Purple God Clan had begun to raise the stakes.
Originally, the Purple God Clan saw that they could not take down Xia Country on the Border Battlefield.
So they prepared to use the gap between the younger generation.
To crush Xia Country's core.
Unexpectedly, they were instead slaughtered by Gu Chen leading Xia Country's geniuses; therefore, the Purple God Clan has now directly increased the pressure from experts on the Border Battlefield, causing Xia Country to have already deployed all of its Grandmasters to the front.
"The Purple God Clan is, after all, too powerful. They are facing the eight Initial Stars simultaneously, dividing their strength into eight parts, yet they still exert such immense pressure on us." Instructor Chen Feiyang could not help but sigh repeatedly.
Gu Chen also nodded.
"The pressure on the battlefield is growing; one can only hope that Xia Country can hold out well."
However, Gu Chen could see a hint of solemnity in Instructor Chen Feiyang's expression. The information Instructor Chen Feiyang knew was certainly much more than what Gu Chen did. Gu Chen could guess that the pressure on the battlefield must be truly immense; even with all the Grandmasters in Xia Country committed to the Border Battlefield, the situation remained far from optimistic.
"Currently, Xia Country's Border Battlefield is being held by those few Great Grandmasters. That battlefield is being fought until the sky and earth turn dark and the world itself shatters. Sigh, those Great Grandmasters are the true heroes." Instructor Chen Feiyang shook his head.
The high-end battlefield.
That is the place that decides the entire Border Battlefield.
It is the place where Xia Country's Great Grandmasters and the Kings of the Purple God Clan engage in fierce battle. The heavens collapse and the earth rends; no living being dares to approach, for even being shaken by the slightest trace of that aura would result in being ground into dust.
Gu Chen conversed with these Martial Artists of the Xuan Ting Martial Arts Hall for a while.
Afterward, he left with Gu Ling.
Gu Ling successfully broke through.
Becoming a Martial Artist.
"100 cal of blood qi." Gu Chen nodded; if Gu Ling had consumed so many resources and still couldn't achieve a perfectly healthy Breakthrough, then Gu Chen would surely treat her to her favorite "big slaps."
"Cell Activity of 89%, this girl's talent is also quite good."
Being able to reach over ninety percent would count as being among Xia Country's top-tier geniuses; further up, ninety-one, ninety-two, or ninety-three percent would be geniuses beyond the scope of Xia Country.
As for an existence like Gu Chen with one hundred percent activity, there was no need to say more.
How many such individuals could there be in the entire starry sky?
Eighty-nine percent.
It was also at the upper-middle level within Xia Country.
Although Gu Chen didn't know for sure, he felt that the likes of Cang Jun should have this level of Cell Activity, or perhaps not even match it. So normally speaking, Gu Ling's talent could already be considered very good; she was a Genius.
"I've finally become a Martial Artist!"
Gu Ling was beaming with joy, skipping and jumping all the way.
Gu Chen took her home by bus.
As soon as they got home, Gu Ling shared the news of becoming a Martial Artist with Gu Dongshan and Qin Yueru.
"Dad, Mom, I broke through to the Body Tempering Realm even earlier than Brother. My talent couldn't be even more fierce than his, could it? I feel like I'm terrifyingly strong right now."
Gu Dongshan looked at his daughter somewhat speechlessly.
A Genius like your brother...
Is someone you can compare yourself to?
However, with two Martial Artists coming from one family.
One being the number one in Xia Country, and the other having decent talent.
Gu Dongshan was still extremely happy.
After all, those friends of his were still struggling and striving just so their families could produce a single Martial Artist; however, he knew in his heart that even if his friends' families produced Martial Artists, they would all be at the bottom tier.
So looking at his two children.
He felt as if he were dreaming.
As if he would suddenly wake up from his bed if he pinched himself hard.
But when he saw Gu Chen give Gu Ling a slap that made her wail.
He couldn't help but show a gratified smile.
"Dad, why are you still laughing! Brother hit me!"
"He's already in the Glazed Realm! He didn't even hold back his strength when he hit me! What's the difference between this and murder?"
"I really did hold back, otherwise you would have flown out just now," Gu Chen said with a smile.
The two of them played and bickered.
The home was very warm.
After finishing dinner.
They prepared for bed.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
[Lapis Lazuli Colored Leaf: There's a banquet tomorrow night, are you participating?]
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment.
Then he inquired about the specific details of the banquet.
People from Starry Sky City are coming.
Gu Chen's heart stirred.
Starry Sky City was where a portion of people from within Xia Country were sent into the starry sky over twenty years ago to build a human city in the stars, backed by the starry sky and evolving brilliantly.
Gu Chen had heard of it before.
Experts in Starry Sky City were as numerous as clouds.
Grandmasters were not few in number.
Starry Sky City might only be as large as a single district in Xia Country's Imperial Capital, but the number of Grandmaster-level experts had already reached a terrifying amount.
[Lapis Lazuli Colored Leaf: Those attending tomorrow are all elite geniuses of Xia Country. It's said that the higher-ups on Starry Sky City have been recalled; they will have a private meeting tomorrow, while we young people will gather to exchange ideas.]
Those elite prodigies in the stars.
They were the generation Xia Country specifically placed in Starry Sky City to carry their hopes, granted the right to grow under the stars.
Gu Chen was also extremely curious.
[Dust Shading Heaven: Okay, I'll go.]
[Lapis Lazuli Colored Leaf: Come find me first then, and we'll go to the banquet together. The location is still Kong Can Restaurant.]
[Dust Shading Heaven: Okay.]
After Gu Chen agreed.
He immediately went to sleep.
For him.
Sleep was still relatively important.
A refreshed spirit.
Is a vital part of cultivation.
When Gu Chen opened his eyes.
It was already the next morning.
He sat cross-legged.
Welcoming the morning sun, with every breath, the surrounding Spiritual Qi all surged toward him. If there were any Martial Artists nearby, they would surely be shocked by this scene; the surrounding Spiritual Qi was nearly being sucked dry by Gu Chen's breathing!
Such a scene was truly terrifying.
His skin glowed brilliantly.
"Honey, look over there, in the window opposite our house, why does there seem to be a Little Golden Man?"
"Don't talk nonsense, where would a little golden... holy crap, where did this Little Golden Man come from, all bling-bling."
At this time, Gu Chen's Glazed Skin attracted many people's attention.
Under the penetration of the morning sun.
It truly looked like a golden color, as if coated with a layer of gold lacquer, looking exceptionally dazzling and brilliant.
Those who could live here.
Basically had Martial Artists in their families.
Watching this scene, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Could it be a Grandmaster cultivating?"
"I feel undercurrents surging, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi is all being sucked away by an astonishing suction force. That probably really is a Grandmaster. Could it be that we have a Grandmaster neighbor?"
"Then we must find an opportunity to pay a visit. That's a Grandmaster! How many Grandmasters are there in our Xia Country in total? They are the top-tier Martial Artists!"
They couldn't help but be shocked.
Gu Chen's Glazed Realm skin seeped golden light, so it was normal for others to misunderstand.
