My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Upon hearing this, Sima Xiao's expression became somewhat tense, as Gu Qing's bloodline technology originated from the Bloodline Research Institute of the Xianmu Group.

but……

The bloodline in Gu Qing's body is completely different from the bloodline model data left by Xianmu Group.

"What exclusive technology do you have!"

"It was just a coincidence that a mutated bloodline was successfully developed."

Suppressing his displeasure, Sima Xiao said calmly.

"Um?!"

"A mutated bloodline!"

"No wonder that's the case..."

Seeing Sima Xiao's indifferent attitude, the Wang family patriarch thought that the other party was deliberately pretending to be aloof.

In reality, it was because the Xianmu Group lacked the authority to continue in-depth research on the mutated bloodline within Gu Qing's body that Sima Xiao now deeply regretted his actions.

At the same time, he also felt some dissatisfaction with Zhang Yubai.

Some even suspect that Zhang Yubai is deliberately damaging the company's assets.

……

About half an hour later, the fourth elimination round officially began.

Gu Qing and Wang Jian stepped onto the ring.

The randomly generated environment was a desert, which was quite advantageous for Gu Qing.

Wang Jian held a top-grade flying sword magic weapon in his hand, and the look in his eyes became serious.

Gu Qing had a dark red Karmic Fire Melting Sand Gourd hanging from his waist.

The two looked at each other, neither making the first move.

"Gu Qing, you've grown a lot since joining the Xianmu Group's mercenary force."

"They are not even worse than ordinary students from the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom."

"but……"

Wang Jian paused slightly, then continued, "The top geniuses from the ten major universities in the Immortal Kingdom, during their second year, are required to comprehend ten profound mysteries of the same spiritual power attribute in their basic assessment."

"Comprehending ten profound mysteries of the same attribute is a threshold."

"After comprehending ten profound mysteries, you will experience a qualitative change."

"And me!"

"We already overcame this hurdle last month."

"Um?!"

Gu Qing was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

You can blend in with the underachievers.

But you can't actually become a poor student.

I never expected that our approachable class monitor would have such a sharp and shrewd side.

"Gu Qing."

"My main focus is on the profound mysteries of the metal element, making my attacks unparalleled."

"You only have one chance to make a move."

"bring it on!"

"Let me see your strongest technique."

Wang Jian's voice was deep and measured.

After he finished speaking, his aura changed instantly, and golden spiritual light emanated from his body, spreading in all directions. The wild grass on the wasteland was instantly killed and withered.

Where the golden light swept across, the entire area manifested golden characteristics.

A sharp and incomparable aura kept coming, causing Gu Qing's expression to change drastically.

Holy crap!

"Is the class monitor really going to go this far?"

"Yeah, but it's alright."

"Let me see just how strong the elites from the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom really are!"

Gu Qing decided to unleash her full power and exchange a blow with Wang Jian to see just how big the gap was between them.

"The true form of the Dharma."

"open!"

Gu Qing silently recited a phrase in his heart.

Countless dark red sand grains flew out of the karmic fire melting sand gourd and sank to Gu Qing's feet.

next moment.

The ground beneath Gu Qing's feet transformed into a sea of ​​lava, with countless dark red, translucent substances rising from the earth. These substances, as if alive, emitted demonic roars and actively converged towards Gu Qing.

In less than a breath, these substances condensed into the form of a full-fledged warrior.

Compared to the first time he used this ability, Gu Qing activated his Dharma Body again, and the speed was several times faster.

"Is it that move?"

"Interesting, but not much."

Looking at the nearly 300-meter-tall Dharma body that had materialized behind Gu Qing, Wang Jian commented from a distance.

Previously, Gu Qing used the [One Thought, One Thousand] technique to defeat Ying Changge.

He had seen him in the stands.

"Um?!"

"Not using that move?"

"So he had a trump card up his sleeve, haha!!"

far away.

When Wang Jian saw Gu Qing condense his Dharma form, he originally thought Gu Qing was about to attack.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing did not use [One Thought, One Thousand], and the sea of ​​lava under Gu Qing's Dharma Image continued to expand. In the center of the boiling sea of ​​lava, hellfire burned fiercely.

Gu Qing, inside the Dharma Image, controlled the Dharma Image to extend its right hand and reach down into the hellfire in the center of the lava sea.

Rumble...

The earth roared and trembled continuously.

"The Blazing Fire Sword That Cuts Through Rocks!"

"Get out here, you son of a bitch."

Gu Qing shouted loudly from inside the Dharma Body.

Followed by.

The sea of ​​lava suddenly exploded.

Countless streams of magma, carrying dark red flames, shot into the sky, creating rings of fire.

The Dharma Body's right arm suddenly stretched into the karmic lava, and a giant sword hundreds of meters long was slowly pulled out from the depths of the lava.

The sword is dark brown all over, and every inch of it is forged by repeated hammering of the mysteries of gravity and solidity, making it as heavy as a mountain and as solid as the earth's core.

On the sword, mysterious yellow-brown spiritual patterns meandered and flowed like the veins of mountains and rivers, radiating a chilling earth-attribute pressure.

Dark red hellfire burned fiercely at the edge of the sword.

Flames licked the air, sizzling as they burned the surrounding lava.

"This sword!!"

"How can it simultaneously combine the profound mysteries of earth with the karmic fire of hell?"

"This, this..."

"Is this kid courting death? Forcibly fusing the profound mysteries of fire and earth attributes at the Qi Refining Realm?"

"He's destroying himself!"

In the spectator stands, the other participants stared at Gu Qing in shock.

Even the Wang family patriarch watching the battle in the main palace, as well as powerful figures like Sima Xiao, were all staring at the Karmic Fire Rock-Slaying Sword in Gu Qing's hand.

"Fire and earth are combined, but the mysteries of the fire attribute are not involved."

"To have reached this level at the Qi Refining Realm, this kid's talent in the fusion of profound attributes is terrifying..."

Many great figures seemed to be deep in thought.

With their keen eyesight, they could easily see through the essence of Gu Qing's move, but that didn't stop them from showing surprise in their eyes. The fusion of dual attributes could be fatal if one wasn't careful.

In this situation, Gu Qing had already taken half a step forward.

Buzz!

The sound of swords echoed around Gu Qing's true form.

From the trials of the ancient martial arts world, Gu Qing's first skill to cultivate was swordsmanship.

now.

Holding the Blazing Fire Rock-Slaying Sword, Gu Qing felt a surge of sword intent within him.

Gu Qing gripped the sword with both hands and slashed forward fiercely.

The Karmic Fire Cleaver slashed down with a roar, and the profound power of gravity dozens of times stronger than normal was suddenly activated on the blade, instantly compressing the hellfire burning on the blade into an extremely thin, dark red beam.

laugh--

That sharp edge cut into the earth silently, as smoothly as a blade slicing through tofu.

Followed by.

A deep rumble came from the depths of the earth, and a bottomless fissure spread wildly along the path of the sharp edge. Lava spewed from both sides, carrying dark red karmic fire as it surged forward, burning everything in its path.

"This sword..."

Wang Jian waited in the distance for Gu Qing to make her move.

Upon seeing Gu Qing's sword strike, his smile widened.

"Gu Qing, your profound and unique technique is worth drawing my sword to counter."

"Behold my Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique."
