653: Chapter 613: Not Playing by the Rules of Martial Ethics_1 653: Chapter 613: Not Playing by the Rules of Martial Ethics_1 Lin Guang, with a long spear in hand, and Gu Xiaorou, wielding her sword, faced each other.

Undoubtedly, in terms of weaponry, Lin Guang held the advantage.

However, this was no ordinary sparring match, both martial artists were genuine powerhouses of the Martial King Realm, and their personal strength could offset some of the disparity in their weapons.

Though the spear had a significant advantage in reach, it became somewhat cumbersome under the swift and fierce movements of Gu Xiaorou.

As Gu Xiaorou rushed up to Lin Guang, she executed several quick evasive maneuvers around him, immediately putting him on edge.

The speed of this young martial artist was beyond his expectations, making him realize that her strength might be formidable.

Even so, he still believed that he would be the one to emerge victorious.

After all, they were the ones conducting the selection; if they couldn’t surpass their opponents in strength, what right did they have to choose anyone?

Lin Guang gripped the tail end of his spear and swept it around him.

Whoosh!

Gu Xiaorou swiftly leaped up, dodging the full force of Lin Guang’s sweeping attack.

Immediately, she advanced quickly, seizing the initiative while Lin Guang had yet to recover his spear, and launched her attack.

Their exchange of moves, back and forth, was incessant.

This scene surprised everyone watching below.

In the previous rounds of competition, all the martial artists joining the selection were soundly defeated by these elite disciples, getting battered with swollen noses and bruised faces within three to five minutes of stepping onto the dueling arena.

There were even some who were instantly knocked out after just one or two moves.

So, it was the general assumption that for a martial artist in the selection process to not end up severely injured and miserable against an elite martial artist was already considered a commendable performance.

The gap between them was, after all, quite substantial.

Yet Gu Xiaorou’s performance was toe-to-toe with her opponent, Lin Guang, giving as good as she got.

This was indeed a bit outrageous.

For a moment, all eyes in the arena were fixed on Gu Xiaorou, observing every move she made with great attention.

At this point, Lin Tianhai in the judges’ seats, looked quite displeased.

The other martial masters’ disciples had shown remarkable feats, resolving their bouts in a few moves; why then was it so difficult for Lin Guang?

Wouldn’t it be a laughingstock if Huang Wanhu and Zhan Tianyu were to see this?

How embarrassingly disgraceful!

Lin Tianhai clenched his fists, his expression growing darker.

Another round concluded and Lin Guang held his spear tightly, his breathing becoming rapid.

The look he gave Gu Xiaorou turned serious.

He had never expected to find the fight so challenging; it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Then, Lin Tianhai spoke out, “Lin Guang, do not show mercy just because your opponent is a frail woman.

Exercise your full strength!”

Lin Guang turned back and saw the stern look on his master’s face, which made his heart sink, and he started to feel nervous.

It was clear that his performance had displeased his elder.

Lin Guang furrowed his brows, his gaze growing fierce.

He had not at all held back; he had indeed given his all!

But his opponent truly possessed notable strength, rendering the match difficult for him—something others would not understand.

Instead, they would judge him harshly, deeming him the weakest among all the martial masters’ disciples!

With this thought, anger surged within Lin Guang.

As a prodigy martial artist of Dubhe City, could he allow himself to be so humiliated?

“I will make you realize the reality that you are no match for me!”

Unwilling to see the sceptical looks around him any longer, he charged at Gu Xiaorou, gripping his spear with both hands, aiming a thrust at her abdomen.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaorou’s eyes narrowed, and she hastily retreated several steps, avoiding his fierce thrust.

Leaning on the railing of the dueling arena, Gu Xiaorou’s brows were tightly knit; she could sense that Lin Guang was not in the right state of mind!

He actually got angry, and his attacks became fiercer as if he aimed to grievously injure her.

Gu Xiaorou’s heart rate suddenly quickened; this simple exchange seemed to be turning sour…

She hastily dodged, avoiding Lin Guang’s fierce assault.

Seeing that he had not injured his opponent after so long, Lin Guang’s fury burned even hotter—he had to prove himself!

“Ah!!”

Lin Guang bellowed, his muscles bulging as a sharp aura wrapped around him.

“Silver Serpent Wild Dance!”

Once again, he thrust his spear, but this time, silver-white luminescence twisted around the spear shaft.

As he stabbed forward, beams of light shot towards Gu Xiaorou at high speed.

This guy had clearly lost it; it was only a sparring match, and yet he had unleashed his martial arts skill.

The spectators gasped; the guy seemed to have been pushed to the edge.

“Has he gone mad?

In a simple sparring match, he actually resorted to using his martial arts skill!”

“Is he trying to kill his opponent?

This was supposed to be a mismatched duel in terms of strength, and he pulls this stunt!”

“He seems to have lost it, someone stop him quick!”

“The martial masters are just sitting there; move, for goodness’ sake, and stop this madman!”

“Such a pretty girl; it would be such a waste if she died by this lunatic’s hand!”

On the judges’ bench, the three martial masters remained seated without any intention of intervening.

Zhan Tianyu and Huang Wanhu had their reasons not to act; after all, this was Lin Tianhai’s disciple.

If they rashly taught someone else’s disciple a lesson, it would be like slapping the other’s face.

And Lin Tianhai, even more steady in his seat, did not move an inch, his expression unchanging.

To him, the deaths of one or two people in Flower City barely mattered.

If they died, they died.

What does it matter how pretty she was?

The world was full of beauties; one less would not make a difference.

At that moment, as the glowing spears shot forth, Gu Xiaorou scrambled to defend herself, lifting her sword to shield her body.

Clang!

The sharp impacts struck the sword, the great force causing Gu Xiaorou’s hands to tremble, her complexion turning unsightly.

But she had been careless; one of the spear’s glowing beams pierced through Gu Xiaorou’s shoulder, and blood immediately stained her robe.

Gu Xiaorou, clutching her shoulder and leaning against the railing, had withstood Lin Guang’s martial arts skill, leaving her hands numb and weak, unable to even lift her sword again.

Her face turned pale; evidently, withstanding that attack was somewhat beyond her capacity.

She leaned against the railing, her body weak, slowly sliding down.

Lin Guang, turning to the crowd, shouted, “The victor is clear; this person’s strength is far inferior to mine, unworthy of joining our Lin Family Martial Arts Hall!”

After his declaration, he put away his spear and prepared to leave.

Just then, Lu Chuan’s figure suddenly leaped onto the dueling arena.

He swiftly moved to Gu Xiaorou’s side, his palms gathering the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, and began to heal her wounds.

“Feeling better?”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “I’m okay…”

“I’m going to kill that bastard!”

Lu Chuan turned, his eyes blazing with fury at Lin Guang.

At that moment, Zhan Tianyu’s figure swiftly stood up.

He recognized Lu Chuan immediately and never expected that Lu Chuan would rush onto the dueling arena at such a time!
