Chapter 203 Battle Against the Holy Son
Chapter 203 Battle Against the Holy Son
Faced with his beloved second brother, Gu Yuchuan was truly at a loss for what to do. He had encountered his opponent in the simulation, but back then he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so they fought a gentlemanly contest, each using their most powerful methods, and it was a real battle. But that was definitely not going to work now.
Fortunately, Mo Lin Yao himself had no intention of fighting. As a cultivator with the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation, he naturally knew how much a high-level Dao Foundation and Golden Core could enhance a cultivator. In addition, Gu Yu Chuan had already refined his own magic weapon, making him even stronger. If Mo Lin Yao fought him, he would have no chance of winning and would simply be asking for trouble.
Therefore, he readily conceded defeat, and Gu Yuchuan successfully advanced to the semifinals. The draw results this time were slightly different from the simulation. In the simulation, he drew the Holy Son, but not this time. It seems that the organizers were waiting for the two Golden Core cultivators to compete in the final.
That makes sense. There are only two Golden Core cultivators. If they were to fight earlier, the champion would be decided sooner, and the final match wouldn't even be as exciting as this one. It certainly wouldn't be good for the entertainment value of the competition. So, it's only natural that they would be prevented from meeting in the semifinals through behind-the-scenes manipulation.
There's not much to say about the semi-finals. Both Gu Yuchuan and the Holy Son easily defeated their opponents, and the finals are just around the corner. This has attracted a lot of attention, with even many Nascent Soul experts coming to watch. No matter how good a Foundation Establishment cultivator's aptitude is, they are not enough to truly enter the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators. Only Golden Core stage geniuses can earn their respect.
These two, in particular, can be considered the strongest prodigies of the demon race and the human race, respectively. Their battle involves many things, and even the human and demon races are secretly comparing themselves.
Gu Yuchuan had prepared seriously. He even simulated a spell to improve his abilities. He planned to spend a whole year in seclusion for this simulation. After the simulation ended, he spent 100 Dragon Points to buy the spells for that year. With the Myriad Dragon Diagram in his possession, he felt that he had the capital to make a living.
Before the battle, the Fox Fairy even summoned him once. The Fox Fairy's expression was indifferent; she was even very calm, completely unconcerned about the turmoil outside.
She told Gu Yuchuan that the Holy Son had an extraordinary background, and even if he had advanced now, he would probably find it difficult to win. She told him not to put too much pressure on himself, and that it wouldn't matter if he lost.
However, Gu Yuchuan had his own ideas. So what if the other party had an extraordinary background? He was someone with a cheat code. If he couldn't be invincible among people of the same level, then he would have wasted his trip. Therefore, Gu Yuchuan felt that he had to win, even if not for the sake of the demon race, but for the sake of his own Dao heart.
The day of the finals had finally arrived. Even before the two contestants arrived, the area around the arena was already packed with people. So many people wanted to see this epic battle. In the past, these cultivators didn't dare to watch battles between Golden Core cultivators, as the residual power of their magic could easily kill them. Now that a Nascent Soul stage expert had finally opened up an arena for them to watch, how could they not come?
Gu Yuchuan and the Holy Son went up to the arena together. On the empty arena, the two stood in the air. One wore a moon-white Taoist robe, looking very ethereal. His eyes were filled with indifference, as if he were a high and mighty immortal. The other wore a blue outfit, looking capable and neat. It seemed that every move he made had great power.
They are the most powerful prodigies of the human and demon races, and today they will determine a victor here.
Gu Yuchuan looked at him, and he looked at Gu Yuchuan. It was the Holy Son who spoke first: "It is indeed very impressive that a genius like you could be born in a minor world. You are proud enough. My background is not small. It will be very difficult for you to catch up with me. However, I am very serious to remind you to be careful. I am not an ordinary person."
His tone was very sincere, at least Gu Yuchuan himself could feel it, but why would the other party think that way? What exactly is his background?
However, since the other party had shown him goodwill, he couldn't leave it unexpressed, otherwise it would be too impolite: "Thank you for your guidance, Holy Son. However, this is, after all, a tournament, and we must all respect this arena. Please enlighten me, Holy Son."
The Holy Son nodded, his expression noble: "Alright. You will advance later, so I won't take advantage of you. You can make the first move."
Gu Yuchuan's eyes gradually turned ruthless. He transformed into his true form. He knew that without a good weapon, charging forward with a spear would only bring humiliation and might even damage the spear. It would be better to use his true form, which would be more powerful.
As his cultivation level improved, his gains in the Dragon Gate were further digested, and his bloodline level became even closer to that of a dragon. As a result, dragon scales began to grow on his body.
The Ink Scale Demon General spoke to the familiar demon general beside him from below: "My third brother's opportunities are also unparalleled. He is not far from having the bloodline of a strange beast. Once he becomes a dragon, his strength will increase dramatically."
The demon general beside them flattered them: "Yes, when the time comes, you two brothers will both be dragons, how powerful they will be."
The Ink Scale Demon General remained silent. On the arena, they had already clashed. Gu Yuchuan swung his tail, trying to deliver a crushing blow from above, but he was tightly entangled by the whisk. He looked somewhat disheveled, but he was not in a hurry. With a thought, he began to emit blue venom from his body.
His venom is now so potent that nothing can withstand it easily. However, since the opponent's whisk is actually a magic weapon, it can withstand Gu Yuchuan's venom without much trouble. Fortunately, it does affect the power of the venom to some extent. Gu Yuchuan seized the opportunity and broke free, continuing his attack.
This time, he planned to use the coiling technique that all pythons know. Although it looks very simple, the great way is simple. There is no python that does not know this move. Even a true immortal, as long as his true form is a python, he knows this move and its power is very great. This is something engraved in the genes of pythons.
However, after he became entangled with the opponent, Gu Yuchuan realized that the opponent's physical body was extremely powerful. He felt great resistance, which was unlike that of a human. It was even more powerful than that of a demon of the same level.
A slight smile played on the lips of the Holy Son: "Demon King, if you want to win, show some real skill. This is not enough."
