290: Fight Gu Tong again

"Shen Xi, I'm really looking forward to fighting him!"

"I want to see just how strong this Shen Xi you all praise so highly really is!"

"Among my peers, I am invincible."

"..."

The powerhouses of the Dian Ling Realm muttered to themselves.

They naturally did not submit to Shen Xi.

Why should he be discussed by so many Martial Artists?

This made them curious about Shen Xi, eager to fight him and determine who was stronger.

Subtly, even before Shen Xi appeared, he had already been targeted by many powerhouses.

As soon as he showed up, it would cause a huge stir!

"Shen Xi is here!"

Just then, a sharp-eyed Martial Artist noticed a group of people appearing in the distance.

This Martial Artist had participated in the Tower of the Heavens and trained at the Cultivation Method Cliff, so he had naturally seen Shen Xi and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Is that Shen Xi?"

"He doesn't look like much!"

"Only the weak like to stick together; the strong are always solitary!"

"It seems that beneath the great reputation are mostly good-for-nothing scoundrels."

Some Dian Ling Realm powerhouses glanced at Shen Xi, shaking their heads disdainfully.

Shen Xi looked too ordinary; he had nothing special about him.

Aside from being somewhat handsome, he didn't possess the outstanding qualities of a Prodigy.

Most importantly, Shen Xi seemed a bit too easygoing.

He could actually chat and laugh with Houtian Realm Martial Artists, which seemed unbelievable to many Dian Ling Realm powerhouses.

The world of Martial Artists is a world where the strong prey on the weak!

The weak are only fit to be vassals of the strong, following them as retainers.

Shen Xi's behavior, like a master joking and playing with a retainer, naturally could not be understood by the Dian Ling Realm powerhouses.

Where was the demeanor a powerhouse should possess?

The Dian Ling Realm powerhouses shook their heads one after another.

It seemed Shen Xi's reputation was exaggerated; he had been praised too much.

"Shen Xi!"

Only Gu Tong, with anger in his eyes, roared sharply.

Ever since his ignominious escape from the Cultivation Method Cliff, he had harbured deep hatred for Shen Xi.

Every moment, he resented Shen Xi.

"Long time no see, Gu Tong, have your injuries healed?"

Shen Xi looked directly at Gu Tong, grinning.

"Damn it!"

Gu Tong couldn't help but curse.

He naturally remembered that to escape that day, he had not hesitated to take Shen Xi's attack head-on, just to flee to safety as quickly as possible.

This had left him severely wounded.

Now, Shen Xi mentioning his injuries was simply an insult to Gu Tong.

"Don't get excited, be careful not to reopen your wounds."

Shen Xi continued, his Face full of concern.

This, invisibly, twisted the knife in Gu Tong's wound again.

"You should worry about yourself! Shen Xi, I have undergone a metamorphosis and recovered to my Peak strength. Before me, you won't last three moves!"

Gu Tong spoke each word distinctly.

As he spoke, he unleashed his full aura.

His Dian Ling Minor Accomplishment combat power was like a boundless ocean, vast and limitless.

"Dian Ling Minor Accomplishment!"

"Gu Tong not only achieved a Breakthrough to the Dian Ling Realm but also directly reached the Dian Ling Minor Accomplishment?"

"Isn't this normal? Gu Tong is a full ten years older than us."

"That's true, he is, after all, half a generation older than us, and coupled with his good talent, entering the Dian Ling Realm is reasonable."

"However, Shen Xi is in trouble; he can't be Gu Tong's opponent."

For a time, the Martial Artists discussed endlessly.

Gu Tong's strength exceeded their expectations.

"Shen Xi, allowing you to live for so many extra days was already my benevolence. Now, I will take your life!"

Gu Tong sneered continuously.

What he needed was this feeling.

The feeling of having everything under control, and countless people looking up to him.

This greatly satisfied his vanity.

"You don't have that ability yet."

Shen Xi shrugged, completely ignoring the powerful aura emanating from Gu Tong.

At the same time, he unleashed his full aura.

"Initial Dian Ling!"

"Although we guessed Shen Xi had probably entered the Dian Ling Realm, guessing is one thing, and having it confirmed is another."

"Hiss! Shen Xi's talent is truly terrifying; he's only in his teens, and he's already at Initial Dian Ling?"

"Compared to him, Gu Tong is nothing; he Cultivated for ten years longer than Shen Xi, yet he's only at the Dian Ling Minor Accomplishment."

"If Shen Xi were given another ten years, he could unilaterally crush Gu Tong."

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Before, the Martial Artists were shocked by Gu Tong's Dian Ling Minor Accomplishment, but compared to Shen Xi, it was not worth mentioning at all.

A Dian Ling Realm Martial Artist under twenty years old was practically unheard of in the entire wilderness.

"This kid, I underestimated him!"

"I didn't expect him to seem so unremarkable, yet his talent is surprisingly strong, exceeding my expectations."

"Hmph! Even if his talent is astonishing, what of it? He doesn't understand hierarchy, actually chatting and laughing with some Houtian Realm Martial Artists. Such a fool doesn't deserve to live in this world."

"Although Shen Xi has stepped into the Dian Ling Realm, he is still a step behind Gu Tong. This battle still has no suspense."

"Shen Xi will still die!"

The Dian Ling Realm powerhouses who had been observing in secret finally expressed their opinions.

Even though Shen Xi displayed the Initial Dian Ling Realm, they still did not favor him.

Whether it was combat experience or combat skills, Gu Tong had ten more years of refinement than Shen Xi.

Moreover, Gu Tong was one minor Realm higher than Shen Xi.

All these factors were unfavorable to Shen Xi; it was almost impossible for him to defeat Gu Tong.

"Impossible? I think Shen Xi is sure to win!"

"Agreed!"

The only two who favored Shen Xi were the Savage Youth Dongfang Ye and Dugu Bubai.

The former had interacted with Shen Xi several times and had some understanding of him, knowing that Shen Xi's combat power was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

The latter, however, relied purely on a feeling.

Dugu Bubai's intuition far surpassed that of ordinary Martial Artists; in the midst of it all, he believed that Shen Xi could definitely defeat Gu Tong, and win with an absolutely crushing posture.

"Hmph! I don't know where you two get your confidence, thinking Shen Xi can defeat me. I will use bloody facts to slap your Face hard and let you know that in front of me, he's not even worth a fart."

Gu Tong spoke each word distinctly, his eyes filled with coldness.

Being questioned by Dongfang Ye and Dugu Bubai made him feel like he was losing Face.

He had to use a crushing victory to prove his strength and severely slap the Faces of these two shortsighted fools.

"That's because you were never my opponent to begin with!"

Shen Xi grinned, responding calmly.

He, from the bottom of his heart, looked down on Gu Tong.

The other party's state of mind simply did not qualify him as a true powerhouse.
