195: Gu Yun takes action!

If he only had to deal with one or two, it would be fine, but if there were more, even with his Heaven-Defying combat power, he would find it a bit overwhelming.

Lu Sheng saw this, smiled indifferently, and his gaze gently fell upon Gu Yun.

"How about you go up for the next match against Imperial Capital Academy?"

Gu Yun sat silently on the sofa, meeting Lu Sheng's gaze, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Do you need me to crush them?"

Lu Sheng paused: "If you can, then crush them. If I'm not mistaken, all the other Martial Arts Academy's attention is on Long Tianxing and me. They probably still underestimate the three of you..."

"Exactly... let them know the price of underestimation!"

Lu Sheng's light words directly sealed Imperial Capital Academy's fate.

A rare smile appeared on Gu Yun's usually indifferent Face.

"Alright!"

After receiving Gu Yun's answer, Lu Sheng also withdrew his gaze and slowly looked towards the arena.

The first match was between Star Academy and Tianling Academy, so naturally, the next match couldn't be between those two academies.

Instead, it was a match between Profound Sword Academy and Second Military Academy.

However, it was unclear if it was due to Long Tianxing's stimulation.

Profound Sword Academy's contestant's attacks were extremely sharp, with every move aimed at the opponent's vital points.

He single-handedly defeated three opponents from Second Military Academy before finally being overwhelmed by the fourth opponent and ultimately losing.

In the end, Profound Sword Academy sent out two more people and easily defeated Second Military Academy.

Just like Star Academy, they secured the winning points.

Three contestants crushed Second Military Academy. Although their performance wasn't as explosive as Long Tianxing's, there was a significant gap between Second Military Academy and Tianling Academy.

After all, Tianling Academy's strongest was only a newcomer to the Body Storage Realm, while Second Military Academy's students were all Prodigies in the Body Storage Realm.

The difficulty, naturally, was also higher.

But even so, Profound Sword Academy easily defeated Second Military Academy without even deploying Mei Yun.

This once again stirred up a wave of excitement in the stadium.

"Profound Sword Academy, huh..."

Lu Sheng glanced at them indifferently, then withdrew his gaze.

Although these people from Profound Sword Academy were good, in Lu Sheng's opinion, they were still too weak.

Although they all had the cultivation of the Body Storage Realm, and one of them had even entered the fourth layer of the Body Storage Realm.

However... Lu Sheng was already able to kill alien demons in the Body Storage Realm when he was in the Shackles Realm.

As a result, when Lu Sheng now watched battles in the Body Storage Realm, he found it somewhat boring.

"I hope this Mei Yun can pique my interest!"

Lu Sheng stretched slightly, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and dozed off.

With the end of the second match.

The third match also began directly.

It was still not Star Academy's turn; instead, it was a match between Second Military Academy and Tianling Academy.

This match itself had no great suspense. With Second Military Academy deploying two people, they successfully defeated Tianling Academy.

Tianling Academy, once again, was defeated.

As a result, the atmosphere in Tianling Academy's lounge became somewhat low.

They could accept losing to Second Military Academy, but before losing to Second Military Academy, they had even lost to Star Academy.

This made it even harder for them to accept.

But even if it was difficult to accept, the outcome was already set, and they could only swallow their bitterness and reluctantly accept the current situation.

And with the end of the third round of matches, the fourth round of matches finally began.

"Arena Two, Imperial Capital Academy versus Star Academy!"

Next to Arena Two, a staff member announced the names of the Martial Arts Academy that would be fighting next.

"It's our turn!"

Inside Imperial Capital Academy, the person in charge spoke calmly. He looked at the Imperial Capital Academy students and said indifferently.

"Yesterday, in the first round, we suffered a loss at the hands of Star Academy, and our academy's reputation has been greatly affected."

"Therefore, this match, we can only win!"

Listening to the person in charge, the Imperial Capital Academy students also nodded. In fact, they all had a grudge in their hearts, even without the person in charge saying anything.

Especially after learning that they were grouped with Star Academy, this grudge had been simmering until now.

As a top ten ranked Martial Arts Academy, they were actually disrupted by a freshman, which was undoubtedly a humiliation for them.

And the best way to wash away their shame was to defeat Star Academy openly and grandly in the competition!

Only then would their damaged reputation be restored.

"For Star Academy, the only people to watch out for are Long Tianxing and Lu Sheng. As long as we can defeat these two, defeating Star Academy will become easy!"

"So, no matter what, even if we can't defeat them, we must try our best to weaken their strength and pave the way for the later people!"

"Understood!"

The person in charge said in a deep voice at this moment.

Then he looked at one of them and said indifferently: "You go up first to test the waters and see how Star Academy arranges their lineup!"

The student at whom the person in charge was looking nodded. He was the only Martial Artist at the Peak of the Shackles Realm in Imperial Capital Academy.

To put it bluntly, he was cannon fodder.

And if cannon fodder could weaken the opponent's strength and even figure out their plan, then it would be very cost-effective.

This person also understood his role and had no complaints in his heart, so he walked out directly.

Meanwhile, in Star Academy's lounge, Lu Sheng, listening to the staff member's words, also gently shifted his gaze to Gu Yun.

"I'll leave it to you!"

Lan Zhan, who was beside him, watched this scene and did not intervene. Although as the person in charge of Star Academy for this event, he should have been the one to arrange the lineup.

But seeing Lu Sheng's arrangement, Lan Zhan also became interested. He didn't know why, even though he was the teacher of these little guys, he didn't know much about them.

Especially after they left the combat team and went their separate ways, when they came back, this feeling of unfamiliarity became even stronger.

So, he didn't intervene, but instead wanted to see what kind of performance these little guys he taught could produce!

Gu Yun nodded, stood up, and the chains wrapped around him slid across the ground, making a clanking sound.

Gu Yun walked out of the lounge and came to the center of the venue.

But when the audience saw Gu Yun, with his unique appearance, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's going on? Star Academy isn't letting Long Tianxing fight, but instead this strange guy?"

"What's up with this guy? Why is he binding himself with chains? Is this guy playing cosplay?"

"No, this brother's appearance is too strange, why do I want to laugh so much?"

In the audience, many people were attracted by Gu Yun's bizarre appearance, but after being attracted, it was accompanied by endless ridicule.

Not only these spectators, but even the one from Imperial Capital Academy who was on stage was stunned.

He had thought that this match would also be Long Tianxing, after all, Long Tianxing's combat power in the previous match was very terrifying, so much so that he was somewhat afraid of Long Tianxing.

But seeing such a peculiar person as Gu Yun come on stage, his heart instead became a little lighter.

For a moment, that person looked at Gu Yun walking onto the arena and also laughed.

"Before, that person from Tianling Academy asked where Long Tianxing ranked in your team, so are you willing to tell me where you rank in Star Academy?"

He didn't know why, but he just wanted to ask.

However, facing this person's words, Gu Yun just said indifferently: "First!"

As soon as these words came out, that person was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"You people from Star Academy are really interesting, each of you says you're first. Long Tianxing can defeat a Prodigy in the Body Storage Realm with the cultivation of the Shackles Realm, so first is normal, but where do you get the confidence to say you're first?"

"Is it just your strange appearance?"

The Imperial Capital Academy student said with a smile, his words full of mockery.

However, facing this guy's words, Gu Yun was not affected at all. He just silently looked at the referee next to Arena Two and said indifferently: "Can we start?"

The referee was stunned for a moment before reacting and quickly said, "Begin!"

The Imperial Capital Academy student heard this, hands in his pockets, and said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm just cannon fodder sent by the Academy. I imagine you're probably the same kind of role!"

"But even between cannon fodder, there's still a difference in strength."

"How embarrassing would it be to lose to a strange fellow like you!"

The man laughed with extreme ease.

In his view, Gu Yun, this strange, unknown fellow, was just like him, cannon fodder for Star Academy.

This made him look down on Gu Yun a little.

As fellow cannon fodder, could he really not be a match for a freshman?

"You... are too noisy!"

Gu Yun looked at the opponent indifferently. The next moment, Gu Yun's arms instantly exerted force, and his muscles immediately unleashed terrifying power.

The massive iron chains transformed into silver snakes, carrying extremely terrifying power, bursting forth instantly.

The massive iron chains instantly surged towards the Imperial Capital Academy student.

So fast that the man could only see streaks of silver afterimages appearing. Immediately after, the massive iron chains, already carrying extremely powerful force, slammed heavily into his body.

Thud!

A muffled sound echoed.

In an instant, the man hadn't even reacted before he was brutally smashed off the arena and fell to the ground.

"This..."

This sudden scene made many spectators in the stands shrink their pupils slightly.

The look in their eyes towards arena number two also changed.

"This guy actually possesses such terrifying combat power! That Imperial Capital Academy student was clearly at the Peak Shackles Realm!"

"Could this guy's combat power have also reached the Body Storage Realm??"

"This guy... hasn't even used his cultivation yet? What kind of technique is this!!!"

In an instant, the spectator stands erupted.

Instant kill!!

And the one killed was a Peak Shackles Realm expert!

How is this possible!!!

These four words appeared in the minds of many spectators.

Could it be that this Gu Yun also possesses Body Storage Realm combat power, just like Long Tianxing?

If that's the case, then Star Academy's team is a bit terrifying!

Three Body Storage Realm combat powers, and all of them freshmen. Such Prodigy... For a time, many people's gazes towards Star Academy's lounge changed.

Perhaps... Star Academy's team this time is still aiming for first place.

All their previous guesses were like a joke!

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Capital Academy's lounge.

Bang!!

The person in charge crushed his teacup with a gloomy expression, his gaze fixed on arena number two.

"This is impossible!!"

"Two is one thing, but why does Star Academy have a third Body Storage Realm combat power!!"

The person in charge roared.

Not only him, but even the other students of Imperial Capital Academy had their expressions turn somewhat unpleasant at this moment.

If it were just Long Tianxing and Lu Sheng, it wouldn't be difficult for them to defeat them.

But now, with an additional Gu Yun, an additional Body Storage Realm combat power, and Gu Yun hasn't even revealed his full combat power yet... The scales of victory in their hearts began to subtly waver at this moment.

"No!!!"

The person in charge stood up, pacing back and forth in the lounge.

"Li Yun, you're up! Absolutely do not let Star Academy's people act so arrogantly in the arena!!"

The person in charge suddenly looked at an Imperial Capital Academy student.

However, upon hearing the person in charge's words, the other students all showed shocked expressions.

Li Yun... he was their Imperial Capital Academy's top Prodigy!

A Peak Prodigy at Body Storage Realm Layer Three!

Li Yun's brow furrowed slightly. Although he didn't know why the person in charge wanted him to go up so quickly, he could only accept this choice.

Immediately, Li Yun slowly walked towards arena number two.

The person in charge watched Li Yun's back, his expression still extremely gloomy. For some reason, after seeing Gu Yun easily defeat his team member, a sense of unease emerged in the person in charge's heart.

Could it be... Imperial Capital Academy is also going to be swept 5-0 by Star Academy's team, just like Tianling Academy?

If that were the case... then Imperial Capital Academy's Face would be trampled into the ground by Star Academy!

After all, Tianling Academy being swept 5-0 was because Tianling Academy itself had a very low ranking, and the quality of its students was not good.

But Imperial Capital Academy was different. Although they were the last to obtain the token for the second round, they were still among the top ten in the previous Academy Tournament.

If they were still swept 5-0 by Star Academy... Therefore, the Imperial Capital Academy's person in charge couldn't sit still and directly sent up their Academy's top Prodigy.

Even if they were ultimately defeated by Star Academy, it wouldn't be a 5-0 sweep!

Avoiding the situation of being trampled into the ground.

However... even so, at this moment, there was still a hint of unease in his heart.

As if... even Li Yun was not Gu Yun's opponent.

"No, no! Li Yun is a Body Storage Realm Layer Three Martial Artist, and his Qi and blood have reached 300,000 points. At the Body Storage Realm, the gap widens with each layer. This strange fellow, even if he has Body Repository combat power, cannot defeat Li Yun!"

The Imperial Capital Academy's person in charge comforted himself in his heart.

However, the more he did so, the more flustered he became internally, to the point that he was now staring intently at arena number two, his eyes even bloodshot.

On arena number two, Li Yun of Imperial Capital Academy also walked up. When he looked at Gu Yun, his expression was slightly solemn.

With Zhao Kong's previous experience, even though he had Body Storage Realm Layer Three cultivation, Li Yun dared not underestimate the opponent in the slightest.

In an instant, his Body Storage Layer Three cultivation erupted. Over 300,000 points of Qi and blood transformed into a surging torrent, constantly spreading out, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.

"Body Storage Layer Three, huh..."

However, facing the directly erupting Li Yun, Gu Yun's eyes remained perfectly calm.

He slowly removed the iron chains wrapped around his body.

"It's just... still not enough!"

Suddenly, Gu Yun let out a low cry, and the iron chains on his body instantly rattled. When Gu Yun completely removed the iron chains wrapped around him,

An extremely terrifying Qi and blood fluctuation directly surged out from Gu Yun's body.

The aura of Peak Shackles Realm suddenly erupted.

Furthermore, within Gu Yun's body, there was an infinitely close to 200,000 Qi and blood fluctuation, surging out.

"This guy... is even more terrifying than Long Tianxing!"

Li Yun's expression slightly hardened. Wielding a sharp blade, he instantly charged towards Gu Yun.

However, just as his body moved, Gu Yun brandished the massive iron chains, transforming them into a net that enveloped heaven and earth, striking towards Li Yun.

Extreme Qi and blood were injected into the iron chains, making them as flexible as Gu Yun's arms.

Instantly, Li Yun's movement was blocked.

"Ancient Tomb True Method — Lock!"

Gu Yun took a step forward, and streaks of patterns instantly climbed onto each silver iron chain.

A powerful force immediately erupted from those iron chains, coiling around Li Yun's feet at an extremely terrifying speed.

"This..."

Li Yun's pupils slightly contracted. He wanted to struggle but found that the power on the iron chains was extremely strong. Furthermore, an extremely overbearing force directly entered his body along the iron chains.

Even the speed of Qi and blood flow in his feet slowed down by several times!

"Ancient Tomb True Method — Break!"

At this moment, another low murmur sounded.

Li Yun suddenly looked up, only to find that around him, streaks of iron chains, covered with black patterns, were like fists, slamming heavily onto Li Yun's body.

In an instant, extreme power was unleashed, forcefully pouring into Li Yun's body.
