122: Who is playing me!
The next morning, the drawing of lots began again!
This time, there were only six empty slips left.
Qianqiu, Jun Ao Zhi, and Song Xianer still drew empty slips.
Mo Chen, whose Luck was slightly weaker, didn't draw an empty slip this time, but instead drew number eighteen.
After all, Mo Chen's Luck was merely Smooth Dao, which was only a superior Luck, not comparable to the rare Top-Grade Luck of Qianqiu and the others.
The surrounding Disciples started discussing amongst themselves again when they saw this.
“It seems Mo Chen’s Luck has run out.”
“Two empty slips in a row, that Luck is already Heaven-Defying enough.”
“Indeed, what more could he ask for, directly entering the top seven hundred without even fighting a match.”
“Hey, do you think a Disciple from Forget-Love Peak could directly enter the top ten just by relying on empty slips?”
“Don’t say it, it’s actually possible!”
“If that’s really the case, that would be even more awesome than winning the championship!”
In the main hall, the Elders had already grown accustomed to the Forget-Love Peak Disciples drawing empty slips, only sighing a few times before shifting their attention to Sun Pu.
This was a massive gamble worth over a hundred million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!
Sun Pu’s Master was also in the hall at this time, trembling in a corner.
He knew his Disciple had hidden some of his strength, but he didn't know his Disciple's true strength.
With two Void Refining Cultivators overseeing the Six Harmonies Sect, the Sect's strength was no longer weak.
However, whether in front of the Supreme Sacred Ground or the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, their Six Harmonies Sect's strength was truly insufficient.
He couldn't afford to offend either Gu Liangyuan or Zhao Chi.
He was afraid that if one side lost the bet, they would vent their anger on him.
That’s why he tried his best to minimize his presence.
Wuwuwu, it’s too scary!
Zhao Chi was looking a little worn out at this moment, his eyes faintly bloodshot, staring fixedly at the area below.
Gu Liangyuan’s expression was calm, appearing carefree.
When the onlookers compared the two, for some reason, the thought that Gu Liangyuan would definitely win surfaced in their minds.
Soon, the Black-Robed Elder announced the match list.
Gu Liangyuan quickly scanned it and soon found Mo Chen and Sun Pu's names, both not far from each other:
Number 13: Sun Pu, Zhang Gong
Number 18: Mo Chen, Golden Great Harvest
Name: Zhang Gong
Affiliation: Taiyi Holy Land Direct Disciple
Cultivation: Core Formation Eighth Realm
Spiritual Root: Fire
Comprehension Ability: One in Ten Thousand
Luck: Sign of Early Demise
Cultivation Technique: Solar True Scripture (Incomplete)
Spell…
…
Summary: A short-lived Prodigy of the Cultivation World, destined to be a fleeting presence.
Gu Liangyuan looked at Zhang Gong's System panel and knew that Sun Pu was guaranteed to win.
When he saw Mo Chen's opponent, his expression became strange.
How did he run into this Golden Great Harvest again?
Gu Liangyuan knew Sun Pu would definitely win, but others didn't.
In their eyes, a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator against a Core Formation Eighth Realm Prodigy, there was no way he could win!
Zhao Chi rubbed the storage ring in his hand and let out a long breath.
My immortal jade is safe!
Di Tian's face showed a conflicted expression.
On one hand, he hoped his Disciple would win and make Gu Liangyuan suffer a setback.
But on the other hand, he also wanted Gu Liangyuan to win, so he could snatch all his immortal jade when Gu Liangyuan died.
Sigh, it’s so complicated.
Although most people in the main hall thought Gu Liangyuan had already lost.
But looking at Gu Liangyuan's still calm expression, and thinking about how Gu Liangyuan's previous wins were also beyond their expectations, they wondered:
Could there be a reversal?
Yang Qiong couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart and secretly used her Divine Sense to transmit a message to Gu Liangyuan:
“Junior Martial Uncle, aren’t you afraid of losing at all?”
Gu Liangyuan replied with a Divine Sense transmission:
“Sun Pu will definitely win.”
Yang Qiong had nothing more to say.
After a long while, she finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again via Divine Sense transmission:
“How do you know?”
Gu Liangyuan turned his head and glanced at Yang Qiong:
“Want to know?”
“Yes.”
“You tell me how you and Light Eyebrow got together, and I’ll tell you.”
“Bah!”
Yang Qiong rolled her eyes at Gu Liangyuan, and that was the end of it.
After a while, Yang Qiong still couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Anyway, he already knows about us, so telling him won’t hurt.
Thinking this, she sent another Divine Sense transmission to Gu Liangyuan:
“If I tell you, you can’t tell anyone else.”
Gu Liangyuan:
“You missed your chance. Now I don’t want to know.”
Yang Qiong: …
So annoying.
While the two were exchanging Divine Sense transmissions, Sun Pu and Zhang Gong had already ascended the arena.
Zhang Gong was full of muscles, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted.
Sun Pu was thin and weak, looking like he was easy to bully at first glance.
What was impressive was that he actually wore five jade pendants on his waist.
Zhang Gong laughed heartily:
“I didn’t expect my Luck to be so good. Among dozens of Foundation Establishment Disciples, I actually ran into him, hahahaha…”
Mid-laugh, the smile on Zhang Gong's face suddenly turned to horror.
As Zhang Gong was speaking, Sun Pu's hand moved with afterimages, quickly taking off the five jade pendants on his waist.
With each jade pendant removed, his cultivation would increase by one layer.
After removing five jade pendants, his cultivation directly reached Core Formation Fifth Realm!
And that wasn't all!
Sun Pu raised his hand, and a jet-black long spear appeared in his hand.
With the long spear in hand, his cultivation increased again, to Core Formation Sixth Realm.
One step taken, Core Formation Peak!
A cold gleam flashed across the world!
As Sun Pu thrust his spear, the roar of a tiger and the cry of a Dragon resonated, and two illusory figures, one Dragon and one tiger, appeared behind Sun Pu.
The striped tiger, with its gaping maw!
The five-clawed Dragon, with its piercing eyes!
The Dragon and tiger moved with the spear, attacking Zhang Gong together!
Zhang Gong wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
Sun Pu's cultivation was already higher than his, and he attacked when Zhang Gong was unprepared, so how could he have a chance to dodge?
Chirp!
The spear tip pierced into Zhang Gong’s shoulder without any resistance.
Strangely, no blood flowed out.
Looking closely, it was actually the long spear continuously absorbing Zhang Gong's blood!
Almost in an instant, Zhang Gong's face turned pale, and even his lips became white, looking as if he had lost too much blood.
Seeing this, Sun Pu pulled out the long spear.
As Sun Pu pulled out the long spear, Zhang Gong only felt dizzy and weak in his legs.
His feet gave way, and he directly collapsed onto the ground.
Sun Pu put away the long spear and then hung the jade pendants that concealed his cultivation one by one.
Under everyone's gaze, his cultivation quickly dropped back to Foundation Establishment Peak.
He cupped his hands at Zhang Gong:
“Thank you for the concession.”
All of this happened in a flash of lightning, and it wasn't until the Black-Robed Elder announced Sun Pu's advancement that the Disciples reacted.
Zhang Gong was instantly defeated with one move?
Good heavens, so that’s how the jade pendants on his waist were used!
It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen people hide their cultivation, but at most, they would only hide one or two Realms.
Brother, you directly hid an entire major Realm?
To prevent others from finding out, you directly wore five spiritual items that hide cultivation!?
Alright, alright, so this is how everyone’s playing now, huh!
Qianqiu and the others, however, looked at Sun Pu's actions thoughtfully.
Previously, when Revered Master said they weren't cautious enough, they were still a little unconvinced.
Now it seems Master was indeed right.
There are always people better than you, and there are always heavens beyond the heavens.
On the main hall at the top of the mountain, Zhao Chi slumped onto the ground.
How could this be?
He had clearly investigated, and this Sun Pu, true to his name, usually performed ordinarily.
In their Six Harmonies Sect's own Sect Competition, he had even lost to a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Disciple.
Just recently, he was even chased by a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator for eight or nine thousand miles, and it was only when a Six Harmonies Sect Elder intervened that his life was saved.
So, all this time, he was acting for me?
