373: It's a little strong, but not high

Just a few words from Shen Bei attracted Gu Jiu out of the shadows.

At this moment, Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a heavy voice, "You were on that passenger ship?"

Gu Jiu was extremely suspicious that the human in front of him was trying to trick him.

This was absolutely impossible!

At that time, everyone on the passenger ship, except Heaven-Shaking Slave, was an alien; there were no ordinary people present!

Shen Bei's gaze was like an eagle's, a slow smirk playing on his lips, and his tone was teasing: "Not only was I on the passenger ship, but I was also the last one to leave, and I even took a door panel with me. Do you remember now?"

At the mention of this, murderous intent surged in Gu Jiu's eyes!

The one who took the door panel was indeed the last alien to leave.

But how could it be...?

How could it be the human in front of him!

It shouldn't be, it's impossible!

Everyone at the time didn't notice at all!

Could it be the Great Thousand Countenances Technique?

But this kind of technique is only known by the Royal family and a few Da Shouzi Cultivators.

Let alone a human, even Gu Jiu, who possesses Royal Bloodline, wasn't qualified to learn it!

How could a human know it?

Absolutely impossible!

Gu Jiu immediately dismissed the possibility of the Great Thousand Countenances Technique.

Then... the problem became even bigger.

What kind of technique did this human use to dare to openly transform into an alien?

Gu Jiu's brows furrowed into a knot: "Very good, it seems you, this human, have delved even deeper into our alien world. What technique did you obtain to change your appearance? Why not be frank and tell me?"

Shen Bei's gaze was so profound it was startling, his voice hoarse, revealing an indescribable cruelty: "Kill me, and you will naturally know."

"If you don't want to say... then don't say it!"

Gu Jiu had no time to waste words with him; his objective had already been achieved unintentionally.

That was Maru Go's unexpected tragic death!

Originally, Gu Jiu, in order to secure his Royal status, had already intended to find an opportunity to kill Maru Go, this stumbling block.

This was also the reason why Gu Jiu hadn't appeared and remained hidden; he only hoped that the human who broke in would be strong enough to kill Maru Go.

Things went as he wished.

Maru Go was indeed killed.

In this way, his status in the Royal family would soar, and to put it bluntly, he even had a chance to compete with other Royal princes for the throne.

This trip was very fruitful.

If Shen Bei hadn't boasted about being able to transform into an alien, Gu Jiu wouldn't have appeared at all, and would even have wanted to thank this human for his assistance.

Now, Gu Jiu had lost his patience.

Shen Bei was covered in injuries, just a dying man!

Gu Jiu planned to torture Shen Bei thoroughly, to make him reveal the secret of transforming into an alien.

With this secret, Gu Jiu could do too many things; he could completely adopt another persona and trip up other Royal princes in the competition for the throne.

Two identities would make things much easier!

At this moment, Gu Jiu's steps lightened, his spine like a Dragon, he bent and sprang up, and in the next instant, he shot straight towards Shen Bei!

Shen Bei, with a ferocious grin, drew his blade and charged forward, slashing.

But in the next moment.

Gu Jiu's figure flashed with extreme agility, feinting a Move, his entire body lowered, and his index fingers poked upwards.

They directly jabbed at Shen Bei's wrist, which held the blade.

In an instant.

Shen Bei's wrist tingled and twitched violently, as if electrocuted; the strength in his palm felt like it had been pierced by a large hole, and both blades dropped directly to the ground.

"Hmm?"

Shen Bei was slightly stunned, no longer bothering to pick up his twin blades, and was about to retreat.

But Gu Jiu directly sent him flying with an Iron Mountain Lean!

Boom~~~

Shen Bei crashed to the ground, feeling a tightness in his chest, as if a vacuum machine had sucked all the oxygen from his body, and his vision even darkened slightly.

Fortunately, Shen Bei took a deep gasp, re-inhaling oxygen into his body, and fully regained consciousness, springing up with a carp-like flip.

Now, Shen Bei's carp-like flip was quite skilled, no longer the clumsy Move he used to show off his Standing Meditation to Professor Gu Xinrou back at First High School, where he'd fall over and struggle to get up.

"This is only in the North Mansion; if it were outside, you would already be dead in one encounter!" Gu Jiu said, full of infinite confidence in himself.

Shen Bei wiped the blood from his face, wiping with great force, his expression fierce like a wildcat: "Don't be so confident. This has just begun!"

"For me, it's already over. Your state is far inferior to mine. I suggest you honestly confess everything you should confess—"

"Hmph!"

Shen Bei struck a pose, interrupting with a shout. Having already harbored murderous intent, he no longer held back, directly unleashing the most powerful Aura, his massive figure lunging forward.

Gu Jiu's vision went black. The opponent descended like a hungry tiger pouncing on a lamb. His heart tightened, knowing that the verbal sparring had failed, and the opponent had seized the initiative in an instant.

However, he was a Royal figure after all. He made a decisive Move, his feet pushing off, his body moving like a snake through grass into a hole.

Whoosh, he instantly darted back three meters, stepping into thin air, and his entire body landed below the high platform, actually using the terrain to evade Shen Bei's fierce lunge.

Shen Bei also hadn't expected the opponent to suddenly leap off the stage, perfectly dodging his attack and the subsequent series of changing Moves.

His attack was originally meant to seize the initiative; first, a loud roar to interrupt the opponent's words, causing his Qi to become unstable, then a tiger-form chop. As long as the opponent slightly resisted, he would immediately unleash the variations of eagle claw, eagle tear, and eagle rip.

This was the foundational Martial Skill taught to students in the country for many years.

Although it became somewhat less useful when one became a Martial Artist.

After all, the Martial Skills of a Martial Artist could not compare in power to martial arts.

But traditional martial arts had never fallen behind, still widely passed down as a Legacy.

However, Gu Jiu's leap off the stage had nullified all his variations.

Just as Shen Bei's lunge reached the edge of the high platform, missing its target, he was about to jump down in pursuit.

Suddenly, a figure like a demon god rose from beneath the high platform.

It was Gu Jiu. In that instant, he had coiled up beneath the high platform, waiting until Shen Bei's pouncing Move had reached its limit. He then suddenly sprang up, one hand protecting his head, the other with fingers spread like a fork, accurately thrusting towards Shen Bei's eyes.

This Move was insidious and ruthless, like a coiling snake, like a Dragon ascending to the heavens, then transforming into two Dragons snatching a pearl. By utilizing the corner beneath the arena, he exploited the environment to the extreme.

Shen Bei only felt a strong gust of wind on his face, his eyes stinging with pain, and he quickly closed them.

His ears twitched, his arms extended, and he brought them down in a pressing chop, directly colliding with Gu Jiu's eye-gouging hand.

Gu Jiu suddenly changed, hooking his two fingers inwards, fiercely gripping the sensitive nerve inside Shen Bei's elbow joint.

He's going for that Move again?

It's never-ending, is it!

Shen Bei's arm joint skin moved, and he knew that Gu Jiu's finger joint strength was immense, no less than his own. If he hooked the nerve, even if the opponent didn't exert force, he wouldn't be able to bear it, and would surely end up with a severed nerve.

He shook his arm, as if shaking a long pole, loosening and softening, his elbow joint pores opening and closing, a burst of power erupting, instantly vibrating Gu Jiu's fingers.

Gu Jiu also sensed Shen Bei's explosive strength, his inward-hooking finger posture immediately stopped, his five fingers suddenly spread, then gathered like a snake's head, gliding up Shen Bei's arm and poking towards Shen Bei's shoulder joint.

This series of coiling, springing, eye-poking, inward-hooking, and shoulder-poking.

Gu Jiu executed it flawlessly, with surging force and sharp power, every Move lethal!

Shen Bei repeatedly shook his shoulders, his feet retreating continuously, dodging Gu Jiu's offensive.

In this round of confrontation, Shen Bei's offensive was blocked, and the opponent seized the initiative.

"You, this human, are quite skilled when it comes to purely competing in technique."

Gu Jiu looked at Shen Bei with considerable surprise.

He had originally thought he was just a brute with raw strength.

Now, upon seeing him, it seemed that humans also had a deep understanding and Legacy of combat.

Shen Bei rubbed his nose, his expression calm, merely saying unhurriedly: "No wonder you're the last one to appear, it is a bit difficult..."

"However, I like to increase the difficulty."

Shen Bei licked his lips and spoke again: "Come, fight!"
