Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Gu Chen ignored the shock of the crowd.

With the first round of advancement concluded, the second round, where 6,000 will be narrowed down to 3,000, will begin immediately.

According to the rules of the secret realm, opponents are randomly matched on the arena. In an instant, a young cultivator wearing an ochre-yellow robe of talismanic arts and carrying thousands of talismans on his back was teleported into the sky and stepped onto the stage.

The newcomer was a core disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, one of the eight major sects. He was exceptionally talented in the art of talismans and his name was Zhang Qian. His cultivation level was at the peak of the sixth-grade Breaking Aperture Realm!

The Heavenly Talisman Sect is a powerful faction among the eight sects, with an endless stream of talismanic techniques and the common occurrence of fighting against opponents of higher levels.

However, Zhang Qian was too weak, and Gu Chen could defeat him easily.

After Zhang Qian stepped onto the stage, he stared intently at Gu Chen, his eyes filled with deep apprehension.

He had witnessed the entire scene of Li Qi being instantly killed by a single finger, and knew that this rogue cultivator was definitely not simple. He guessed that Li Qi was just going through the motions.

Zhang Qian stepped onto the stage, raised his hand, and instantly seven or eight crimson fire talismans and lightning talismans floated around him. The talismans emitted a burst of spiritual light, the runes pulsed, and their power was awe-inspiring.

Quickly form hand seals while silently reciting talismanic incantations!

"Heavenly Fire Talisman, Thunderclap Talisman, unleash them!"

hum!hum!

The two Rank 5 talismans instantly unleashed their power!

Crimson flames soared into the sky, transforming into a two-zhang-tall firebird that scorched the air, creating a raging heat wave!

A thunderous purple roar erupted, followed by streaks of lightning that locked down the surrounding space!

The combined fire attack and lightning punishment spells created a devastating onslaught that enveloped the entire training ground, leaving no blind spots!

This is a sixth-grade martial art of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, the Myriad Talisman Explosion Technique!

He unleashed his full power at the peak of the sixth rank, and the force was enough to severely injure an ordinary cultivator at the Sea Transformation Realm!

Flames and thunder clashed, creating a terrifying spectacle.

However, Gu Chen remained calm in the face of the overwhelming onslaught of water, fire, and lightning.

He stepped lightly, his bronze body quietly circulated, and an invisible barrier of true energy surrounded him.

Boom boom boom!

A raging inferno and endless thunderbolts bombarded the true energy surrounding Gu Chen!

The expected explosion, severe damage, and being sent flying backwards did not occur at all!

All the ferocious attacks, upon touching the barrier of true energy, were completely dissolved, annihilated, and turned into nothingness!

Fire cannot touch you, lightning cannot harm you!

The copper body is perfected, making it immune to all spells below the third rank!

Seeing this, Zhang Qian smiled wryly: "Isn't even tickling enough?"

At this moment, Gu Chen had already taken a step, his figure instantly covering a distance of ten zhang, and closing in on Zhang Qian in an instant.

"not enough."

As the indifferent words fell, Gu Chen raised his hand and patted lightly.

No violent true energy, no fancy spells, just a simple palm strike!

Bang!

A muffled thud!

The talisman barrier surrounding Zhang Qian shattered instantly, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the martial arts arena, spitting out blood, defeated and eliminated!

"Cultivator number 7,349 defeated cultivator number 5,612, winning the second round and advancing to the top 3,000!"

The third round begins, narrowing down the pool from 3,000 to 1,500.

Matchmaking battles are now open.

This time, the opponent is from Aoki-no-miya, one of the Seven Palaces!

The Seven Palaces forces, with a Celestial Venerable Realm expert in charge, far surpass the combat power of the Eight Sects. The Green Wood Palace specializes in cultivating the life force of plants and trees, with long and unpredictable spells, unparalleled endurance, and unmatched combat prowess among its peers.

The newcomer was Lin Qingyao, a genius from the inner sect of Qingmu Palace. She was a beautiful female cultivator dressed in a green dress, with a stable cultivation level at the peak of the fifth-grade Transformation Sea Realm.

Lin Qingyao had a slender figure, surrounded by a faint aura of green wood, with countless tiny green vines growing and swaying slowly around her, full of vitality.

Her expression was solemn as she sized up Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was able to shatter a mid-grade Xuan-level treasure weapon directly, demonstrating his formidable strength.

She cannot confront Shang Gu Chen head-on.

"Fellow Daoist, your physical body is unparalleled, and your physique is extraordinary," Lin Qingyao said in a clear voice. "But my Green Wood Palace's life-giving techniques are inexhaustible and can exhaust all brute force. Please enlighten me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingyao's hand seals changed, and her true energy surged wildly around her!

The Qingmu Palace's top-tier martial art, the Myriad Woods Returning to Spirit Technique, is being fully activated, along with its inherent fifth-grade top-tier martial arts!

Rumble!

Countless thick green vines instantly sprouted from the ground of the training ground, their tendrils intertwining and branches crisscrossing, carrying a powerful life force as they frantically tried to entangle and bind Gu Chen!

Thousands of green vines block off all directions, layer upon layer, incredibly tough, capable of binding mountains and rocks. Once entangled, they instantly imprison one's true essence, leaving one at the mercy of others!

"Green wood entwines the sky, trapped!"

Lin Qingyao gave a soft shout, and thousands of green vines instantly contracted and strangled her, the force combining both strength and gentleness, terrifying beyond compare!

The disciples of Qingmu Palace below cheered, "Senior Sister Lin, hold on! Wear him down!"

In everyone's eyes, a physical cultivator who is invincible in close combat is most afraid of this kind of large-scale binding and entanglement technique, and Gu Chen will definitely be restrained!

Gu Chen scoffed and didn't want to waste his time with her.

As he watched the thousands of green vines sweeping towards him, Gu Chen's eyes turned slightly cold, and his heart stirred slightly!

The divine soul instantly spread out, and the invisible and colorless power of the divine soul locked onto the front!

The Soul-Piercing Cone technique of divine souls is unleashed.

Silent and invisible!

A sharp and extremely fierce soul spike instantly pierced into Lin Qingyao's sea of ​​consciousness!

"what!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out!

Lin Qingyao's body trembled violently, her head throbbed with excruciating pain, her mind was in turmoil, and her soul suffered severe damage!

Her hand seals instantly went awry, and the true energy controlling the green vines around her completely dissipated!

The tenacious green vines withered, fell, and crumbled instantly, turning into specks of green light and dissipating!

A soul-piercing attack—it's impossible to defend against!

This is a killing move that cultivators in the middle four realms can never resist. They cannot release their divine soul power, and their sea of ​​consciousness is extremely weak!

Gu Chen took a step forward and lightly tapped his fingertips onto Lin Qingyao's shoulder.

With a gentle burst of force, Lin Qingyao was directly blasted away from the martial arts arena and eliminated!

"Cultivator number 7,349 defeated cultivator number 3,891, winning the third round and advancing to the top 1,500!"

The entire room fell silent!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their hearts tremble!

Soul attack!

This rogue cultivator can actually use the power of his divine soul!

He is a grandmaster!

Some unsuspecting people were shocked by Gu Chen's divine soul technique.

Some cultivators who knew Gu Chen's background said calmly, "This fierce rogue cultivator is not a Grandmaster, but he is more terrifying than an early-stage Grandmaster. He can kill an early-stage Grandmaster."

"Fierce rogue cultivator brother" was the nickname they gave Gu Chen.

This is the only nickname for this hot-tempered and fierce guy.

Only then can one be worthy of Gu Chen's temperament.

And then someone with a good intentions explained it to me.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"If you're not a Grandmaster, and you can kill a Grandmaster, you're a shill, aren't you? That's not how you brag."

"He's probably at the peak of Core Formation, and he can only barely defeat someone below the Grandmaster level by using some unknown method to unleash a soul attack. He would be defeated by a Grandmaster or a half-step Grandmaster who has some resistance to soul power."

Some people think that those who specifically praise Gu Chen are just bragging.

How could he be so strong?

"A bunch of frogs in a well, unaware of the terror of our fierce, independent cultivator brothers. If you don't believe me, just watch, you'll get slapped in the face soon." Seeing that some people didn't believe him.

They were too lazy to explain.

No one has ever seen Gu Chen fight personally.

It's hard to believe that he could unleash that level of combat power.

Right now.

On the arena.

Gu Chen's battle continues.

In the fourth round, 1,500 players were narrowed down to 750, and the opponent came from the Eight Sects of Ten Thousand Poisons.
