Chapter 312: Chapter 14 Boxing_2

"There’s no important figure involved."

Chu Ling’s tone carried a hint of amusement as he teased, "One glance and you can see to the bottom of these people’s profiles, which aren’t encrypted — it seems they are all ordinary individuals... I’m a bit curious, who gave them the courage?"

"Perhaps in Changye... this is quite a normal occurrence."

Gu Shen calmly said, "Luo Yu said Zone Three is buzzing with talk about me... the emergence of an S-class will naturally attract a lot of attention. It’s normal for them to want to have a match."

Changye is a city fond of warfare.

The headquarters of the Third Zone is located here, and the East Continent Federation even encourages young Transcendents to compete and spar within Snow Forbidden City, even holding a joint competition among the three zones every year.

The spirit of valiant combat prevails in Changye.

That is why this place could produce someone like Gu Changzhi. It is said that during Gu Changzhi’s youth, Changye once welcomed a golden age seen once every five hundred years. Many genius Transcendents were born in Changye, including an extreme number of powerful individuals who later supported half of the East Continent Federation’s sky. Among these people, Gu Changzhi was naturally the most dazzling.

The stars shone brightly.

The bright moon filled the sky.

However, this Lord Divine seemed to have also taken away Changye’s fortune... Until he rested within Qingzhong, the city’s fortune started to gradually recover and improve.

"I’m actually a bit curious why these people came so quickly?" Gu Shen mentioned with some annoyance, "I had barely touched down when they followed right behind to challenge me... Do they not need to sleep?"

The news spread too quickly.

"Changye has millions of eyes, watching you," Chu Ling said. "It started from the day you became an S-class."

"That’s true..." Gu Shen let out a sigh.

"These people come with ill intentions..." Chu Ling asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do?" Gu Shen narrowed his eyes, looking out the window at the group of Transcendents and said softly, "It’s my first day in Changye, and I haven’t even had a good sleep, yet challengers are already at my door... If I avoid fighting, won’t I be letting them walk all over me?"

"Fight?" Chu Ling asked tentatively.

"Fight!" Gu Shen clenched his fist and calmly stated, "A single punch now will save a hundred later."

...

...

"You must have had a tiresome journey,"

Gu Shen opened the window and looked towards the group of Transcendents not far away, smiling as he said, "Gentlemen, are you looking for me?"

Chu Jue frowned slightly, looking towards the source of the voice.

He hadn’t expected this guy to appear so crisply and neatly.

Was he waiting for them to come to him?

With a "snap" sound.

Gu Shen leaned on the windowsill and gently leaped out. Unlike his previous disheveled escape from a great fire, the Truth Ruler within his sleeve lit up silently in the moment of his descent.

He landed smoothly, pushed the gates of Spring Rain Temple, and approached the crowd.

The young Transcendents who had recently joined under the banner of Changye Prison looked at each other, looking at Gu Shen... They hadn’t expected this so-called "S-class" to be so young.

Judging by his appearance, he was probably about seventeen or eighteen years old?

In fact, like them, Gu Shen was also a newcomer... having started his Extraordinary Cultivation just a few months ago.

"Are you... Gu Shen?"

Chu Jue scrutinized Gu Shen carefully, his spiritual power completely unable to gauge the depth of the young man before him... The East Continent Federation had no intelligence on Gu Shen’s capabilities, only rumors that this was a Spiritually Extraordinary Transcendent with exceptional talent. Beyond that, there was no further information.

"Indeed."

Gu Shen already knew the names and origins of the people before him but pretended not to, smiling as he asked, "And you are?"

"Gu Shen, I hereby challenge you in my capacity as a Judicial Envoy of Changye Prison!"

Chu Jue declared solemnly, "My teacher is the Fourth Judge, and these are my junior brothers and sisters. If you can defeat them today, then we admit our loss..."

What the hell?

Gu Shen frowned.

These Prison Transcendents, who had barely begun their cultivation half a year ago... although they appeared to be several years older than him on average, none of them were truly capable of fighting!

A bunch of good-for-nothing challengers had come to face him?

The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had anticipated.

"Actually, initiating a challenge is a tradition passed down for many years in Changye... you can refuse, they can continue to initiate."

Just then,

a gentle breeze, carrying the slow voice of Gu Nanfeng, drifted over.

"The original intention was to encourage competition to hone skills. But this guy clearly didn’t have good intentions; competing with these people brings no benefit or advantage to your power,"

"There are more than a dozen judges in the prison alone, each with their own students and disciples... This kind of challenge, if not repeated, could bring dozens of people every day, and last for several months."

Gu Shen’s expression was complex as he stared at Chu Jue.

This old man played dirty... today was the first wave, tomorrow would be the second, and so on, it would annoy anyone to death.

"Just refuse," Gu Nanfeng’s Lan Qie continued to transmit sound, saying, "I’ll help you drive these guys away."

Gu Shen shook his head and used his Chi Huo to gather spiritual power, responding, "No need... Thank you for the kind thought, Brother Nanfeng."

Though he bore the Gu surname and lived in the Gu family mansion,

he was no pushover, only capable of surviving by relying on the Gu family; in a place like Changye, Gu Shen still knew how to survive.

Immediately afterward, he raised his head and coldly cut off Chu Jue’s words.

"Enough... There’s no need to continue introducing yourself."

Chu Jue was slightly startled.

He wasn’t angry, merely watching Gu Shen, he calmly said, "If you are ready, the challenge can start at any time."

Behind him, the young brothers and sisters were all eager to try.

Gu Shen smiled.

"Are you ready?"

Before Chu Jue could react, he saw the young man in front of him already rolling up his sleeves...

"Since we are colleagues from the prison... then I must put in some serious effort," Gu Shen flexed his muscles and spoke softly, "Fellow enthusiasts, no need to think about coming one by one or all together, it’s meaningless. Everyone has only been in Extraordinary Cultivation for a few months, barely fought a few battles, presumably today’s visit... is just to broaden your horizons, right?"

The brothers and sisters were a bit bewildered.

"I accept the challenge... but, I accept your challenge," Gu Shen looked toward Chu Jue, and spoke softly, "I can’t control my own strength when I strike, please forgive me!"

The next moment.

Gu Shen suddenly made his move.

He abruptly dashed forward, like a fierce tiger, pouncing on Chu Jue.

Chu Jue’s expression changed drastically.

He had never expected that Gu Shen would be so cunning... and so bold as to strike at him?

What he hadn’t anticipated even more was,

this S-rank Spiritual Extraordinary, rumored to choose... hand-to-hand combat!

The elegant and stylish white robe, at this moment, became a hindrance; Chu Jue hastily retreated, but then the young man’s speed was astonishingly fast, without using any seals, just a punch!

"Boom!"

He even heard a thunderous sonic boom!

In haste, Chu Jue quickly circulated the Grain Rain Volume, unleashing a strand of spiritual power toward Gu Shen at close range, which instantly branched out, transforming into layers of air waves, pouring out like fierce winds and sudden showers.

Gu Shen didn’t dodge or evade, directly taking it head-on!

He chose to open his defenses and let all that spiritual power fall within his own Spiritual Domain!

On the Four Seasons Wilderness above, only slight ripples splashed up.

Then—

A punch!

Just one punch!

Chu Jue was sent flying violently, crashing to the ground.

His handsome face seemed to be punched into a concave.

Before he could understand what was happening, a figure was already mounting him, fists raining down like a pounding hailstorm, accompanied by the whistling of piercing winds.

Gu Shen, from his practical combat training in Da Du, had finally found a useful human target.

At this moment, he displayed it without reservation!

This was truly a fierce storm.
