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

They investigated Gu Chen's information.

I know he's growing up very fast.

I recently learned that in order to meet this challenge...

Shangguan Wuqing may have secretly supported Gu Chen's breakthrough in cultivation by providing him with pills.

Therefore, He Teng was sent over today, and if there was an opportunity, he was to test Gu Chen.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

Gu Chen now possesses the strength to defend against the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm.

This is not a good situation.

"Gu Chen has cultivated the Crimson Copper Body, so it's not surprising that he could withstand your punch. If you unleash a full-force attack, he might not be able to block it," Chen Lei analyzed. "However, Sixth Brother shouldn't be careless either."

"Hmm." Wen Lingtian nodded, then looked at He Teng and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you take one of my punches too, and let's see who is stronger, me or Gu Chen."

"Okay!" He Teng agreed.

This way, he can directly feel the power of the two people.

Wen Lingtian said.

With a burst of power and cultivation, he threw a punch directly at He Teng.

He Teng welcomed them with all his might.

boom!

He Teng was so shocked that he took two steps back.

After regaining my balance.

He Teng asked incredulously, "Junior Brother, you've broken through to the Perfect True Essence Realm?"

"Haha!" Wen Lingtian laughed upon hearing this, "Yes, I just broke through a few days ago. Senior brother, how about it? Take this punch from me, and see who's stronger, Gu Chen or you!"

After receiving Wen Lingtian's affirmative answer, He Teng said, "Junior Brother, since you have broken through to the Perfection of the True Essence Realm, your punch is naturally much more powerful than Gu Chen's."

He Teng could tell from the punch he had just received from Wen Lingtian.

Wen Lingtian's punch was much more powerful than Gu Chen's.

Gu Chen was able to withstand his punch mainly because of the defense of his physical body and bronze physique.

His attack power is not much.

It was far inferior to Wen Lingtian's punch.

Now that his junior brother has broken through to the Perfect True Essence Realm, defeating Gu Chen in half a month will not be a problem.

A smile also appeared on Chen Lei's face.

Wen Lingtian broke through to the Perfect True Essence Realm.

Defeating Gu Chen, who was at the early stage of the True Essence Realm, was a foregone conclusion.

Even though he possessed the Copper Body and the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique.

It is absolutely impossible to fight someone who is three minor realms above you.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

The day of the duel between Gu Chen and Wen Lingtian had arrived.

The agreed-upon location for their duel was the county seat of Yuehai County.

The day before.

The city of Yuehai County was overcrowded.

People from various powerful families and third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate forces within the desolate state arrived.

Even the Qingyun Sword Sect, a top-tier power within the Desolate State, and several other top-tier powers surrounding the Desolate State sent disciples.

They came solely to witness the contest between the direct disciples of the two successive commanders of the desolate state.

Ye Xuemei of Cold Wind Valley and Liu Chen of Qingyun Sword Sect, these were once geniuses who were defeated by Gu Chen.

They were already waiting in Yuehai County.

I just want to see how Gu Chen can defeat Wen Lingtian tomorrow.

The two were two minor realms apart.

Furthermore, Wen Lingtian comes from a top-tier family like the Wen family, which is something that Gu Chen cannot compensate for with a top-notch cultivation technique and a body-refining method.

On Gu Chen's side.

They arrived at Yuehai County City a day early.

Preparing for tomorrow's battle.

That night.

Inside Luo Tianxing's mansion.

Unbeknownst to them, Gu Chen had arrived.

His two senior brothers from the desolate state, his second senior brother Gongsun Yuan and his sixth senior brother Tie Yangtian, also came.

Together with his three senior brothers, Luo Tianxing, they cheered on Gu Chen.

Tomorrow, Gu Chen can just go all out in the battle.

His three senior brothers covered for him.

Luo Tianxing prepared a sumptuous banquet at his mansion.

The four brothers chatted while eating.

"Junior brother, how is it? Have you broken through to a higher realm?" Luo Tianxing asked Gu Chen.

A month and a half ago.

His master, Shangguan Wuqing, learned that his junior brother, Gu Chen, was going to fight against Chen Lei's disciple.

They directly delivered a Rank 7 Minor Breakthrough Pill to Gu Chen.

He himself also provided Gu Chen with a Grade 7 Great Condensation Pill.

I only hope that Gu Chen can break through another small realm and reach the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm. At that time, with the top-notch cultivation technique of the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique and the Body Refining Divine Technique of the Body Sect that Gu Chen cultivates, he will be able to achieve great success.

They will surely be able to defeat Wen Lingtian in one fell swoop.

"I've broken through," Gu Chen replied.

As he spoke, Gu Chen directly released the aura of his mid-stage True Essence Realm cultivation.

I could sense the aura of ancient dust.

Luo Tianxing smiled and said, "Haha, as expected of you, your talent is truly heaven-defying!"

One's cultivation level can break through rapidly.

The elixir plays one role.

The most important factor is still one's own talent.

Some people, even if you give them enough elixirs, will still find it difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Some people can refine a single Great Qi Condensation Pill in one night.

Some people may not be able to refine it even after a month.

It can even lead to drug resistance, causing instability in the foundation.

His junior brother clearly belongs to the former category.

There was a sufficient supply of elixirs for him.

His cultivation level can break through very quickly.

In other words, they have exceptional talent.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yuan and Tie Yangtian...

He also smiled.

"Junior Brother, now that you've broken through to the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm and cultivated two top-tier techniques, Wen Lingtian is nothing to fear," Gongsun Yuan said with a smile.

"Not only has my cultivation level broken through, but my body refining technique has also broken through." Gu Chen explained to the three of them, "Now, my Crimson Copper Body has thirty protective divine runes imprinted within my body, which can withstand even attacks from the early stage of the Breaking Aperture Realm."

Gu Chen said.

With the activation of the Crimson Copper Body, thirty protective divine runes shimmered on his body, and layers of golden light shields appeared, layering to defend his body.

Seeing Gu Chen protected by layers of golden light, it was as if he had thirty layers of defense.

Luo Tianxing and his two companions were shocked once again.

"A protective shield of thirty layers of divine runes!" Gongsun Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

He knew the cultivation logic of the Copper Body, the top-tier cultivation technique of the Body Sect.

The more protective divine runes imprinted on the body in this second cultivation technique, the stronger the defensive power.

Furthermore, for every thirty additional protective divine runes, the defensive power will undergo a qualitative change, and thirty protective divine runes can be fused and condensed into protective true energy.

It causes a qualitative change in defensive power, not only able to defend against ordinary true energy attacks, but also to avoid water, fire, poisonous miasma, and evil spirits, making it extremely powerful.

However, the process of cultivation is particularly difficult.

In the early stages, one must not only be able to successfully comprehend the cultivation technique, but after comprehending it, one must also use corresponding pills to imprint protective divine runes on the body one by one.

Those body-refining geniuses from the Body Sect.

To reach the level of Gu Chen, most people need to spend several years in the True Essence Realm to achieve it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen reached the True Essence Realm in less than two months.

That talent is truly freakish.

Gu Chen put away his protective divine runes and said calmly, "That Wen Lingtian, in tomorrow's battle with me, he won't even be able to break through my defenses."

"Haha." Tie Yangtian laughed, "It's Wen Lingtian's bad luck to run into such a freakish opponent as our junior brother."

"Yes, I can't wait to see the unbelievable scene of Wen Lingtian being defeated by our junior brother tomorrow," Luo Tianxing added.

The next morning.

In the central training ground of Yuehai County.

Many powerful people have arrived in the past few days.

All gathered together.

Personnel from the Yuehai County Lord's Mansion, the Supervisory Office, the Divine Guard Army, and the Divine Garment Office.

People also came to watch the spectacle.

In addition, some people from the Night Watch of Jiuwan City, as well as some forces in Jiuwan City, have specially come from Jiuwan City in the past few days.

Just to see how Gu Chen would defeat Wen Lingtian.

Cheng Mengling, along with a group of her family's retainers, came to cheer on Gu Chen.

Within the desolate state, there were a number of family forces that had not submitted to the Wen family.

At this point, all personnel were in place.

Today, they have only one hope.

I hope Gu Chen can defeat Wen Lingtian.

This caused the Wen family to lose face completely.

Wen Lingtian is a few years older than Gu Chen.

If he were defeated by Gu Chen, what face would he have left to live in the Desolate State?

What face does the Wen family have left to publicize this challenge everywhere?

On the Wen family's side.

Wen Lingtian, Wen Wushuang, Duan Yanxin (who had been defeated by Gu Chen), some younger members of the Wen family, and several older members of the Wen family all came to cheer for Wen Lingtian. Leading them was a third-rank grandmaster from the Wen family.

On Chen Lei's side.

He also dispatched his second disciple, Yan Xiu, a third-rank grandmaster and one of the four chief officials of the Wilderness Guard Headquarters, and his fifth disciple, He Teng, to cheer on Wen Lingtian.

On Wen Lingtian's side.

His second senior brother, Yan Xiu, glanced at Gongsun Yuan beside Gu Chen and said, "Be ruthless later. As long as we don't cripple Gu Chen, we should damage his foundation so that his cultivation won't improve for years."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Wen Lingtian nodded. "Even without your reminder, I won't let him off easily today."

Gu Chen had previously defeated his younger brother Wen Wushuang in public, and then challenged and defeated his follower Duan Yanxin, who was of a higher level.

The plan to allow the Wen family to take the opportunity to suppress the powerful families in the desolate state failed.

Now he has arrogantly accepted his challenge.

He attempted to defeat him again, even though he was of a higher level.

He would naturally not hold back against such an ignorant and arrogant person.

"Second Senior Brother, actually, if Junior Brother had accidentally crippled him, with Master's influence, Shangguan Wuqing wouldn't dare say anything," He Teng said, squinting. "After all, he agreed to the challenge himself. On the arena, swords have no eyes; if someone gets really into a fight, it's normal for them to lose control!"

He Teng sneered and said to Wen Lingtian, "Go all out. If you cripple him, that's his fate."

He just couldn't stand Gu Chen.

It's unclear whether it's because he suffered a setback in Jiuwan City last time, where his foundation was damaged by that unknown expert, making it difficult for him to break through to the Upper Three Realms in this lifetime, or something else.

He had a twisted desire to cripple Gu Chen as well.

Why should his foundation be damaged?

Gu Chen's foundation remains intact, and his future is bright!

Although he didn't know why he felt this way about Gu Chen.

The fact that his foundation was destroyed should have nothing to do with Gu Chen.

His idea was exactly the same as Liu Chen's.

At this moment, Liu Chen, along with a group of Qingyun Sword Sect disciples and his father Liu Xiong, arrived at the edge of the martial arts arena.

He just wanted to see Gu Chen crippled by Wen Lingtian.

This damaged the foundation of Gu Chen.

Like him, his cultivation progress was delayed.

Let Gu Chen taste this flavor too!

His father spent a great deal of money to have the General Commander of the Wilderness State target Gu Chen, making Gu Chen's career path unsuccessful, but unfortunately it still had little effect.

After all, Gu Chen has a powerful background, so some petty tricks can't affect him.

Now, he can only pin his hopes on Wen Lingtian, hoping that he can step up his game later.
