Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 193 Just click it
Gao Wu knew he was very strong, but this was based on his own understanding and comparison with his opponents, all of which were subjective judgments.

Because human observation of oneself is limited. Using mirrors or videos would result in the loss of even more information.

Just like how people don't actually know their own voice; only through recording equipment can they know what their real voice sounds like.

The same applies to looking in the mirror. Seeing yourself in the mirror every day, a person's strong adaptability will adapt to their own appearance, and they will add at least two points to their self-evaluation of their looks.

Misjudging one's own appearance can lead to unwarranted confidence in some people. These are all fairly common occurrences.

Because of self-imposed limitations, it is really difficult for people to make a rational and objective judgment about themselves.

High-level martial arts practitioners possess a Yin spirit, allowing them to observe themselves from a third-person perspective, but this also presents significant limitations.

Only at this moment, when Gao Wu saw his own reflection striking him with its palm, could he feel his own power and his martial arts divine form in the most direct way.

The crimson martial arts uniform was like fire and blood. The movements of his body, when he struck out with his palms, were graceful, elegant, coordinated, and fluid. His whole body projected a powerful sense of strength and had a certain wonderful rhythm.

The Azure Dragon, coiled and roaring, shone with azure divine light. Its scales were hard and exuded a sacred majesty that could swallow everything in its path.

It must be said, it is indeed majestic and imposing!

Gao Wucai had gone all out, essentially sending out most of his troops, leaving him physically vulnerable. Now, however, he had to face his own all-out attack.

He could clearly feel the powerful force emanating from his own reflection, so it was not an illusion.

When the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra reaches its ultimate state, it can condense the Yin Spirit into a self-contained entity, unaffected by external forces.

Given Yan Qiushui's spiritual level, even if he were a hundred times stronger, it would be difficult for him to be deceived.

The mirror image is clearly not a martial arts move; it would be difficult for any martial arts secret technique to replicate it so perfectly.

Yan Qiushui conjured up a giant mirror, standing between the two of them. The mirror not only reflected his image, but also reflected his power, martial arts prowess, and so on.

"Well done!" Gao Wu silently praised himself. He also decided to use the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Activation Spell. Since the opponent had already used supernatural powers, it was reasonable for him to use a divine spell as well!
Most of the spectators around were unaware of what had happened. Only martial artists at the level of martial master or above could see the invisible mirror that stood upright and reflected all the attacks from high-level martial artists back into the mirror.

Qu Tianji never took Yan Qiushui seriously. So what if she was a disciple of the Heavenly King? She was too young and a woman; she probably hadn't even killed anyone.

He was a master seafarer, having slain countless pirates and sea monsters. He was a warrior tempered by blood and iron, not some delicate flower in a greenhouse.

This includes Chu Shenxiu, who also faced this problem: what good is a martial arts master? Martial arts is not about determining victory or defeat, but about determining strength or weakness, life or death.

If you don't understand this principle, you're not fit to be a martial artist.

Qu Tianji didn't take Gao Wu seriously at first, but after watching a few of Gao Wu's videos, he found that the kid had a bright and cheerful smile, claimed to be helpful but was actually ruthless and vicious, and had some skills.

Only now did Qu Tianji realize that he had truly underestimated Yan Qiushui.

In terms of its appearance, it is like the void condensing into a mirror to reflect all attacks.

There are also secret techniques in martial arts to redirect attacks, but such redirection has many limitations and it is impossible to completely reflect all of the enemy's power back.

Reflecting all the power of high-level martial arts out of thin air seems more like some kind of spatial ability! Any ability involving space is extremely powerful.

Even someone as powerful as Chu Shenxiu had a deep look in his eyes at this moment, as he also saw how terrifying Yan Qiushui's abilities were.

Yan Qiushui is weak now, but once she grows up, her ability to reflect attacks will be enough to make her invincible.

He was also curious about how Gao Wu would deal with such a powerful superpower.

Even the well-informed martial arts master An Ziru became nervous. She frowned slightly and clenched her fists. In her opinion, Gao Wu would have a hard time withstanding this move.

It can only be said that the power unleashed by Gao Wu was too strong, so strong that even he himself couldn't withstand it. Who would have thought that Yan Qiushui possessed such supernatural abilities!
The group of experts in Zhongjing were all overjoyed, especially Tang Zhengyi, who shouted excitedly. He and Yan Qiushui were childhood friends, but he didn't know that Yan Qiushui had this trick up her sleeve.

Even the seventh-level kings are now turning their attention to the arena.

Heavenly King Qi Tian, ​​Dragon King Tian Wuji, Fire King Qu Hanshan, and Power King Lei Ming were all present. Of course, their purposes for watching the battle were different, so they didn't really care about the fight.

It wasn't until Yan Qiushui unleashed her extraordinary ability to shift stars that the kings were truly amazed. They were also curious about how Gao Wu would respond.

Lei Ming, in particular, was most concerned about Gao Wu. He was actually waiting for a suitable opportunity to contact Gao Wu.

If Gao Wu is eliminated by Yan Qiushui, it would be good news for him. Because Gao Wu doesn't know what's going on, and being eliminated would definitely be very upsetting for him.

At that time, he appeared as a talent scout, expressing his appreciation for Gao Wu. He believed that the young man would be extremely grateful and immediately bow down to him. So he took the opportunity to accept him as his disciple!

Lei Ming had already figured out how to take on apprentices, but he immediately realized something was wrong.

The powerful mental strength of a seventh-tier expert allowed him to keenly detect the cyan lightning flashing deep within Gao Wu's pupils. This was definitely not a projection of external light or shadow, but rather a strange light emanating from the depths of Gao Wu's eyes...

"What is this?" Lei Ming knew that Gao Wu had a special physical talent that allowed him to use drugs like crazy, which enabled him to make rapid progress in just one year.

He always thought that Gao Wu's superpowers were related to physical talent, such as bursts of strength or speed, or the ability to grow or shrink...

Judging from Gao Wu's performance, it appears to be a superpower that erupts from the spiritual level.

At that very moment, Gao Wu's depleted source energy suddenly surged, even more than doubling in level. His physical condition also adjusted accordingly, with his skin, flesh, and bones slightly contracting inward. This change allowed him to accumulate more energy both inside and outside his body, giving him greater speed and strength.

"It's actually an explosive type of superpower talent..." Lei Ming was slightly surprised by this. This kind of talent is actually quite common, and even ordinary people have the ability to unleash their full potential.

Ordinary people are stimulated by adrenaline, but martial artists have powerful bodies, and adrenaline alone cannot activate their full potential. They usually need to cultivate relevant secret techniques to unleash their full potential.

Because this kind of talent is so common, it doesn't even count as a talent.

The other kings also noticed this, but they vaguely felt that it wasn't that simple, yet they couldn't see through Gao Wu's true situation.

On the arena, Gao Wu didn't care what others thought. He activated the Triple Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation, causing the Azure Dragon to resonate with his six acupoints, instantly doubling his source power. Keep in mind that his source power had already reached the level of a martial arts master; doubling his source power was incredibly powerful.

Gao Wu struck out with his own mirror image, and the two Gao Wus thus completed their palm strike.

With a clash of palms, a high-level martial artist suddenly shattered into hundreds of crystal-clear fragments that scattered across the sky, revealing Yan Qiushui, who was standing behind an invisible mirror.

Yan Qiushui looked at the hundreds of flying fragments, and at Gao Wu who had struck her with his palm. A look of surprise appeared in her clear, bright eyes. She seemed not to have expected that Gao Wu could break her divine power in such a simple and direct way...

Under the impact of the powerful and unparalleled palm strike, the deep blue spiritual light of Yan Qiushui's protective energy field rippled like water, and her ponytail flew up with it.

The hundreds of shattered, crystalline fragments not only depicted the broken state of Gao Wu, but also reflected the appearance of Yan Qiushui.

The images of the two intersected on hundreds of fragments, and then flickered and changed as the hundreds of fragments shot out.

Under the high-speed camera, this scene reveals a breathtaking beauty.

Yan Qiushui had no time to pay attention to these details; her eyes were only on Gao Wu, her opponent.

The power emanating from Gao Wu's body was so strong that the azure dragon behind him became even more majestic and powerful.

She still has the strength to fight again, but Gao Wu, whose source power has doubled, is too strong. She can only keep up by activating the Seven Star Secret Technique and unleashing her source power, and she also needs to use her innate divine power to have a chance to win.

The Seven Star Secret Technique's activation is extremely damaging to the body; it's unnecessary for a single match. A martial artist's body is incredibly precious, especially since she's still young. Damage to her body at this age would be very troublesome.

Yan Qiushui made a decision instantly. She retreated following Gao Wu's palm strike, while simultaneously cupping her hands to indicate that she had conceded defeat.

The referee immediately stopped Gao Wu and declared Gao Wu the winner.

Gao Wu finished his stance and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer."

He could tell that Yan Qiushui still had energy left, but she didn't want to fight him. This match was considered to have ended after a brief exchange.

A commotion broke out at the scene. Many people found it hard to understand why Yan Qiushui, who had clearly not lost, would so readily admit defeat.

This has caused great dissatisfaction among many people, who believe there were problems with the competition and even with the referees...

On the contrary, the martial arts masters understood Yan Qiushui's situation. Even with his innate abilities, he couldn't defeat a high-level martial artist, and continuing the fight would truly be a fight to the death. For Yan Qiushui, it was naturally not worth it at all.

Qu Tianji was somewhat disappointed. Yan Qiushui had given up so easily, yet he hadn't been able to test the upper limit of high-level martial arts power...

The people of Beizhou were extremely excited and burst into cheers.

The progress on online live streaming platforms is much slower, since the playback speed needs to be slowed down, otherwise no one would be able to see the real battle situation.

The online live stream only ended after the battle between the two sides concluded and Gao Wu and Yan Qiushui left the arena...

The comments section was filled with shouts of foul play and strong disapproval of the battle's outcome.

Some people have a very unique perspective, saying that the final battle scene is beautiful and dreamlike, almost like movie special effects. The key point is that the man is heroic and the woman is bright and beautiful, which is a perfect match.

"They really look like a couple, I'm shipping them!"

"They fight so gently, it must be true love...so sweet!"

Everyone expressed their disgust for these love-struck fans and condemned them together. "Go home and worship your parents..."

"Idiot, this is a martial arts competition, not a romance drama!"

"Someone come quick and kill these bastards..."

Yan Qiushui rarely looked at anything on online platforms, and she didn't know that she had been arranged to be Gao Wu's girlfriend. Even if she did know, she wouldn't care.

Even dogs can express their opinions online. If someone wants to make fun of you, they can dance and trample on your ashes online even if you're dead...

Tianwang Qitian was fairly satisfied with Yan Qiushui's performance. He said, "You fought well. You're at a crucial stage, there's no need to compete with Gao Wu for the short term."

"Wait two more years, until your physical condition stabilizes, then we'll compete again!"

Yan Qiushui nodded in agreement, and then asked softly, "Master, do you think Gao Wu can win the championship?"

Qi Tian glanced at Chu Shenxiu's profile as he sat quietly in the rest area, smiled and said, "Gao Wu is daring, and you all have your reservations. He really has a chance to win the championship."

The third round of the competition ended quickly. After all, there were only a few martial arts masters. Apart from Gao Wu and Yan Qiushui, who were evenly matched, the other geniuses easily crushed their opponents.

After an hour's break, the fourth round of the competition began.

The first to appear was Gao Wu, whose opponent was Qu Tianji.

Qu Tianji was about the same height as Gao Wu, but he had broad shoulders and a thick back, making him look much more robust than Gao Wu. He had rugged features and blood-red eyes, giving him a very imposing presence.

He was also wearing a red martial arts uniform, but the color was dark, unlike the bright and flamboyant uniform of high-level martial arts.

Qu Tianji looked Gao Wu up and down and said, "It's not easy to have such skills at such a young age. I don't want to hurt you, so just admit defeat later..."

Gao Wu laughed: "You're a pretty nice person!"

Qu Tianji sensed the sarcasm in Gao Wu's words and said in a low voice with some displeasure, "I'm doing this for your own good."

As he spoke, a chilling murderous intent flashed in his crimson eyes: "I won't hold back when I'm in the mood for a fight. It wouldn't be good if I killed you!"
