Chapter 508: Chapter 116: Though millions obstruct, I shall forge ahead_2

Compared to Gong Zi, he was truly the one standing at the summit of the mountain.

In his view, the talents within the Snow Forbidden City, those hardworking climbers... whether they were halfway up the mountain or at the base, there was no difference.

Too far behind.

"So many people... it’s probably not good to refuse a challenge..."

Bai Lu spoke softly, "The reputation of the Bai Family..."

Bai Xiu’s expression still showed no change.

He seemed to have made up his mind.

Seeing this, Bai Lu could only sigh.

Their spiritual telepathy, although not heard by others, their re actions were seen by everyone.

Bai Lu was trying to persuade him.

And Bai Xiu shook his head.

This action... seemed very clear.

Was he going to... reject?

He stared at Bai Xiu nervously, waiting for the other’s response...

After seeing this subtle gesture, Gong Zi looked slightly disappointed.

And the next moment.

Bai Xiu seemed to have heard something.

Bai Xiu slightly raised his head, his expression calm as ever, but a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes as he glanced quickly across the venue to the opposite side... at Gu Shen’s position.

Amid the tidal wave of cheering.

Bai Xiu slowly rose to his feet.

Unexpected for Bai Lu.

Bai Xiu spoke softly, uttering just one word: "Fine."

...

...

Bai Xiu rose from the first row and moved to the center of the venue.

He gave a slight bow to President Zhou Wei, speaking softly, "I trouble Elder Zhou... to serve as witness to this battle, and to expand the domain in advance, to avoid affecting the innocents."

Zhou Wei nodded with a smile.

He slowly stepped back, raising his cane and gently tapping the ground.

A ripple immediately spread out, an invisible wave expanding from the center of the venue like a huge bubble, enveloping both participants within.

Gong Zi took a deep breath.

He said nothing more, assumed a boxing stance, and stared resolutely at the young man in white, speaking solemnly, "Gong Family, Gong Zi!"

Having fully comprehended Flame Dream, Gong Zi’s spiritual power was at an unprecedented peak.

A faint flame wound around him.

It was not the residue of the Phoenix Bell, but the Blazing Fire that was part of his own abilities, red strands of Phoenix Fire faintly forming an immense Divine Statue behind him.

It was as if a massive humanoid Divine Statue with a bird’s crown was levitating upright, its enormous wings slowly spreading, the falling flames like divine radiance.

"Jialouluo."

In the spectator seats.

Gu Qilin chuckled and whispered to Gu Shen, "This is one of the Gong Family’s totems. If you can penetrate the mists of Qingzhong and see inside the Giant Statue Ruins... there’s a Divine Statue carved with this Ancient God."

Sitting in the front row.

Even with Elder Zhou’s protective domain, Gu Shen still felt waves of hot air hitting him.

He squinted, watching the Divine Statue intently.

Both were "fire," but Chi Huo did not respond... It seemed that his flames were not all-consuming, a power completely different from "Blood Fire," appearing to be purely naturalistic.

Listening to Mr. Gu, was this Jialouluo sculpted onto a stone carving in the Giant Statue Ruins?

Then, the origin of the Gong Family’s bloodline... was probably related to the history of Changye from six hundred years ago.

Hot wind swirled.

Fire rain splashed.

Bai Xiu in white stood opposite Gong Zi.

He looked up at the colossal Ancient God, his expression still utterly calm, without awe or blasphemy.

He still bowed slightly.

"Bai Family, Bai Xiu."

Between the two, there was no excessive talk, no courtesies or pleasantries.

Just a mutual bow.

That was all the "interaction."

The next moment.

The mighty Divine Statue roared angrily, its wings suddenly extending, striking fiercely towards Bai Xiu, the two massive wings instantly swelling dozens of meters, almost enveloping the entire venue in their "embrace," with wings scraping across the ground, everywhere they passed, countless rocks exploded, fire and wind splashed as if to scrape the earth clean to smite one dead within these wings!

Simultaneously, Gong Zi began to run.

He was faster than the closing speed of the fiery wings, reaching Bai Xiu in an instant, rapidly delivering dozens or hundreds of punches, with countless fist shadows bursting forth from the center of the fiery wind at the venue!

In just an instant!

The thunderous sound of the fists pierced the air, shattering all the tempered glass inside and outside the venue, Gong Zi’s wind from the punches permeated through, causing ripples on the bubble domain, marked with an array of punch indentations.

As Bai Xiu said.

This battle... Without the domain’s protection, it might very well have injured innocent spectators!

Fiery wind spilled like a tornado!

Most of the spectators lost sight, only able to see two figures submerged in the intense firelight, one rapidly punching with a speed beyond capture, its sonic booms resonating through the domain, and the sound of vast sheets of glass shattering outside the venue!

From the blur of the scene.

It seemed totally dominated!

The one throwing punches appeared to control all the initiative—

However, sitting in the front row, as well as those powerful Transcendents, their gaze could pierce through the domain and see the inside clearly, and what they saw was not a one-sided suppression.

Every punch from Gong Zi was fast.

And very stable.

He indeed deserved the title of the new champion of this tournament and the grand reputation as the first person to comprehend the Flame Dream in twenty years.
