Chapter 686 - 686 646 The Harmless Girl_1

686: Chapter 646: The Harmless Girl_1 686: Chapter 646: The Harmless Girl_1 Gu Xiaosang registered and then returned to the spectator seats to continue waiting.

Soon, the matches for this group of martial artists came to an end, and the winner and loser descended from the dueling arena.

Immediately after, the next round of matches began.

“The martial artists taking the stage now for the match are Gu Xiaosang and Ahn Yang.”

“The match officially begins, please both contestants come onto the stage!”

Gu Xiaosang stepped out of the crowd, and when everyone saw a girl who was not very tall and had a youthful face, they couldn’t help but start murmuring.

“This martial artist looks very young, probably hasn’t even reached twenty years old.”

“I guess her combat ability isn’t very high.

To actually have the courage to sign up for the Sky Martial Sect martial artist selection, she’s really quite bold.”

“She’s so pretty, I hope she doesn’t get disfigured.

I hope her opponent, Ahn Yang, will go easy on her.”

“This pair doesn’t seem to offer much suspense, the outcome is clear at a glance.”

There was a buzz of discussions among the crowd.

In their eyes, Gu Xiaosang clearly didn’t have much fighting power, not just because of her age but also her appearance; they didn’t think she stood a chance against Ahn Yang.

But Ahn Yang was a martial artist from the Huang Family Martial Arts Hall of Dubhe City.

Whether in terms of combat experience or overall strength, his skills were quite exquisite.

Facing such an elite opponent, it seemed there wasn’t much suspense about the outcome.

Gu Xiaosang chose to ignore the noisy voices around her.

She eyed the man before her and said, “Let’s just start fighting.

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

Hearing this, Ahn Yang also became spirited, “The way you talk, it’s as if you’re a match for me, but I also want to finish quickly.

I won’t be merciful just because you’re a girl!”

“If you get hurt, that’s your own doing!”

“To dare be my opponent, you do have some guts!”

The next moment, Ahn Yang drew the longsword he wore at his waist and pointed it toward Gu Xiaosang.

Gu Xiaosang was not in the least intimidated.

She too drew her longsword, assuming a ready stance for combat.

Without much of a preamble, the two charged at each other, and their fierce swordsmanship quickly interwove.

The sound of clashing metal rang out continuously.

After several exchanges, when they momentarily pulled apart, Ahn Yang’s expression had turned grave.

His brow furrowed as he watched Gu Xiaosang’s hands.

Those fair, small hands were still firmly gripping the hilt of the sword, showing no sign of trembling.

But his own hands had begun to tremble slightly after that bout.

He began to feel that something was wrong; had he misjudged her?

He thought it must be an illusion, so he charged at Gu Xiaosang once again.

Gu Xiaosang looked on calmly at Ahn Yang and said indifferently, “I might as well finish this battle quickly.

It’s really boring to fight with you!”

Hearing these words, Guu Lie, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly brightened up, fixing his gaze intently on Gu Xiaosang’s figure.

He vaguely felt a remarkable strength from Gu Xiaosang!

At such a young age, to possess such prowess, she must have broken through to the Martial King Realm.

Indeed, she was a promising martial artist.

Of course, compared to his beloved disciple Zhao Shengyang, she definitely didn’t measure up.

At twenty years of age, he had reached the pinnacle of the Martial King Realm.

Such talent was considered among the very top in the whole of Dubhe City.

Guu Lie turned and looked at Zhao Shengyang, “Disciple, what do you think of this girl’s strength?”

“Her swordsmanship is decent, the raw strength is strong, but she lacks technique.

She doesn’t appear to be from a renowned family.

I’d guess she’s had some sort of opportunity that allowed her to break through to the Martial King Realm, but her understanding of martial arts is mediocre.”

“So, if I were to face her, I’d definitely finish the match within three rounds.”

Guu Lie chuckled, “Of course, I believe in your strength, but not everyone has talent like yours.

This Gu Xiaosang, her power and talent are already quite remarkable.

In Dubhe City, she would be considered a genius.”

“If she wins, then I’ve decided to take her as a disciple.”

“Not just to join the Sky Martial Sect, but to be under my name!”

“I, Guu Lie, don’t normally take on disciples unless they show exceptional talent.

This girl’s innate ability is top-notch, which is good enough.

As for other areas, I can guide her slowly.”

Guu Lie revealed a smile, pleased with the thought of taking on another disciple.

On the dueling arena, the sparring reached its final stage, and Ahn Yang was clearly no match for Gu Xiaosang.

Even though he used all he had learned in his lifetime, he couldn’t defeat Gu Xiaosang.

This wasn’t a disparity in technique, but a gap in sheer strength.

A gap in sheer strength is most cruel.

No matter how much external help you get, it’s tough to compensate for it.

Before stepping onto the stage, when he saw Gu Xiaosang’s appearance, he thought he had it in the bag, that he came to the stage to bully a little girl.

But unexpectedly, this harmless-looking Gu Xiaosang had such solid strength that he couldn’t make a dent.

In the end, Ahn Yang was defeated.

Several wounds appeared on his arms, and blood stained his sleeves red.

Helplessly, he cupped his fists towards Gu Xiaosang and said with a face full of shame, “I admit defeat to the superior skill.”

Gu Xiaosang simply waved her hand, unconcerned.

“There’s no superior skill involved.

You’re just not as strong as me, that’s all.”

Although it sounded harsh, it was brutally honest.

Ahn Yang nodded helplessly and then stepped down from the dueling arena.

This defeat made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The title of genius he once had now became something that shamed him.

Gu Xiaosang stood on the dueling arena, turned her head towards Guu Lie, and asked, “Elder, I should qualify to join the Sky Martial Sect now, shouldn’t I?”

Guu Lie hurriedly stood up, applauding Gu Xiaosang modestly.

“Truly excellent.

You brought us all a splendid match.”

“I didn’t expect that at such a young age, your martial cultivation would be so strong.

It seems you really are a rare talent.”

“Top-quality wood also needs to be carved by a master’s hand to become a work of art.”

“Therefore, I, Guu Lie, have decided to personally take you as a disciple.

You will become my seated disciple and follow me to the Sky Martial Sect to cultivate.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below cast envious glances at Gu Xiaosang.

Being a disciple of the Second Elder of the Sky Martial Sect, that was something countless people dreamt of!

Everyone present understood clearly that, with Gu Xiaosang’s prospects, her future was immeasurable!

The people in the crowd whispered among themselves, asking each other.

However, they discussed for a long time and still couldn’t determine which martial arts hall Gu Xiaosang belonged to.

Soon, some started speculating that Gu Xiaosang was an out-of-towner because with her level of talent, it would be impossible for no one to recognize her otherwise.

Gu Xiaosang returned to the sidelines to make way for the next round of competition.

She walked towards Lu Chuan, smiling, “How about that?

I did pretty well, didn’t I?”

Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction, “Well done.”

When the surrounding people saw Gu Xiaosang walking towards Zhan Tianyu and his group, they all understood at once – Gu Xiaosang was from the Zhan family.
