Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 650 - 650 610 Showdown Between the Strong_1

650: Chapter 610: Showdown Between the Strong_1 650: Chapter 610: Showdown Between the Strong_1 The first round of the competition involved one-on-one bouts between the participating martial artists.

Once the first round of clashes were completed, those who entered the second round would take turns sparring with the disciples of three martial masters.

The final ranking would be determined based on combat performance.

This martial artist selection wasn’t large in scale, but the requirements were by no means low.

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou stepped out from the crowd and walked towards the dueling arena.

In the eyes of the onlookers, Gu Xiaorou appeared frail and thin, holding her sword, seemingly so delicate that a gust of wind could blow her away.

She didn’t look like she had any fighting power at all.

Unfortunately, her opponent was allocated to a well-built, robust man.

His muscles were incredibly exaggerated, and standing there, he flashed a triumphant smile at Gu Xiaorou.

“Beauty, I’ll go easy on you.

It would be a shame if I accidentally killed you,” he said with a heh-heh laugh, unable to bear striking at Gu Xiaorou’s stunning beauty.

Gu Xiaorou, holding her longsword, pointed it at her opponent and said, “My name is Gu Xiaorou.

Please enlighten me!”

“I’m Xu Hu.

I’ll take it easy on you, but you’re really unlucky to face me in the first round.

Now you won’t even get the chance to exchange moves with the martial artists from Dubhe City!”

He laughed heartily and then approached Gu Xiaorou.

He clenched his fists in front of him, assuming a combat stance, clearly a practitioner of the Tiger Fist.

Being unarmed might put him at a disadvantage against someone wielding a longsword.

However, he was extremely confident in his own strength, so he didn’t fear the slender sword in Gu Xiaorou’s hands.

Immediately, Xu Hu took heavy steps toward Gu Xiaorou.

With each step, the ground trembled slightly, his fierce momentum making the surrounding spectators feel a bit intimidated.

They were all curious precisely because Gu Xiaorou showed no sign of fear, standing her ground calmly and serenely facing her enemy.

“Hahaha!

You’re not running away but choosing to face me head-on?

You’re practically asking for death!”

He clenched his fist and swung it toward Gu Xiaorou.

The fist was nearly as big as Gu Xiaorou’s head, looking quite terrifying.

Gu Xiaosang, watching from below, suddenly felt her heart rise to her throat.

“This opponent is too fierce, it seems like a difficult fight!”

She looked at Gu Xiaorou with some concern.

Lu Chuan crossed his arms and calmly said, “This Xu Hu is only at the Grade 6 Saint Realm, how could he possibly be a match for Xiaorou?”

“Relying solely on muscles can’t make up for the gap in cultivation.

There’s a natural chasm between the Martial King Realm and the Saint Realm that ordinary people simply can’t cross!”

After hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Gu Xiaosang’s worries subsided somewhat.

However, the other spectators, unaware of Gu Xiaorou’s true strength, were all on edge and didn’t dare to watch what happened next.

But just as Xu Hu’s fist was about to connect with Gu Xiaorou, her figure suddenly vanished.

In the next moment, Gu Xiaorou swiftly moved to Xu Hu’s side and immediately swung her longsword, slicing through the space beneath Xu Hu’s raised arm.

Swish!!!

A gush of fresh blood spurted out, scattering on the ground.

In pain, Xu Hu hastily retreated several steps, crouching on the ground while clutching his wound.

His brows furrowed, the look in his eyes as he turned to Gu Xiaorou no longer held the same triumph and arrogance.

Gu Xiaorou stood her ground, her gaze sharp as she looked at Xu Hu.

“You move too slowly.

With that speed, you thought you could touch me?

Dream on!”

Xu Hu suddenly stood up and gripped his fists tightly again.

“I was just careless just now, and let you, this guy, find an opening.

You even resorted to a sneak attack.

Now I will not be lax; I will use all my strength to defeat you.

If I accidentally cripple you, it’s your own doing!”

He walked toward Gu Xiaorou, fuming with rage.

Gu Xiaorou immediately retorted in a cold voice, “I didn’t sneak attack you; I dodged your attack right before your eyes and then counterattacked.”

“You were simply no match for me, and now you even want to slander me?

That’s really a joke!”

Gu Xiaorou’s words stung Xu Hu’s heart, immediately igniting his anger.

With so many pairs of eyes watching around, it would be truly shameful for a big guy like himself to lose to a little girl!

If he were to be eliminated here, he would really lose face and be unable to continue mingling in Flower City.

When he first saw that his opponent was a little girl, he thought he was lucky and had a guaranteed pass to the next round.

But unexpectedly, she turned out to be a bit of a hassle.

The next moment, Xu Hu charged at Gu Xiaorou.

This time, his speed was much faster than before, his steps were ferocious, his momentum like a tiger, and he almost instantly rushed up to Gu Xiaorou.

“Take my Tiger Fist!”

He clenched his fist and threw a punch at Gu Xiaorou.

While the punch was swinging, one could faintly hear the roar of a tiger.

If an ordinary person heard this sound, they would undoubtedly be intimidated.

However, for Gu Xiaorou, all these were superficial.

Once again, by virtue of her sharp agility, she quickly opened the distance and leaped to Xu Hu’s side.

Xu Hu learned his lesson and immediately threw a sweeping punch at Gu Xiaorou.

Without saying a word, Gu Xiaorou leaned her upper body backward and easily dodged Xu Hu’s punch.

The whooshing punch passed in front of her, making one’s hair stand on end.

Gu Xiaorou didn’t hesitate to counterattack, not missing any opportunity!

Swish!!

Gu Xiaorou’s longsword thrust out, piercing Xu Hu’s shoulder.

Immediately, blood flowed down along the blade.

Feeling the stabbing pain, Xu Hu hastily retreated five or six steps and quickly covered the wound with his hand.

He began to gasp for air, failing to gain the upper hand after several rounds of exchange.

What exactly was the problem?

Could it really be a stylistic suppression?

Was the opponent more agile than him, which allowed her to dodge attacks and counterattack repeatedly?

But that didn’t seem realistic.

If the strength were similar, there shouldn’t be such a significant difference in speed.

Could it be that the difference between him and her lay in raw strength?

He couldn’t believe it.

He was only young but already at Grade 6 of the Saint Realm, definitely among the elite youths.

There were hardly any geniuses in Flower City on his level.

But facing this girl of the same age, the gap in strength was just too big!

Gu Xiaorou held her sword and stood in place, not pursuing the victory rashly as it might expose her to flaws.

“Now you should realize that you are far less strong than me.”

“Bullshit.

You’re just a slippery rat.

What does it matter if a rat gnaws at you a couple of times?”

Unable to bear such humiliation, he clenched his fists again, ready to continue the fight.

Hearing his words made Gu Xiaorou feel annoyed inside.

This bastard’s strength was mediocre, but his mouth was quite tough.

“In that case, let’s just end the fight cleanly.

I don’t want to waste too much time on you.”
