C169 Another dark horse

Gu Xuan walked down the arena, and Chen Ba, who was ranked third, also jumped up.

Chen Ba took off the Giant Ax behind him, and smashed it onto the stone platform, his gaze sweeping over the students.

The hearts of all the students who were being stared at by Chen Ba tightened. The third strongest expert of the Mountain And River List.

"You, come up!"

In the end, Chen Ba chose a person and said those words with a congealed voice.

Chen Ba's choice of candidate, seemed to have exceeded everyone's expectations. He was actually ranked fourth among the Mountain And River List, Wang Chu!

If one lost, then one would be completely eliminated, and there would no longer be a chance within a year. Thus, one would have to be extremely careful when choosing an opponent, and if no accidents happened, one would be the one to challenge the weakest.

After that, as the number of people decreased, the level of fighting became more intense. With Zhao Mayi's strength, he could only challenge one person who was more than one hundred.

They were all geniuses within the Heavenly Academy, and no one could guarantee that a dark horse of Gu Xuan's level would appear again.

Luo Yi had enmity with Gu Xuan, it was fine that he chose Gu Xuan, but no one had heard of any enmity between Chen Ba and him.

Wang Chu's face immediately became gloomy, he leapt onto the stage, and said unkindly: "Chen Ba, your strength is only slightly stronger than mine, yet you choose to pick me now, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

"Do you want to die?" Chen Ba laughed sarcastically, "You think too highly of yourself. Naturally, I have absolute confidence that I can eliminate you if I choose you."

"Alright, alright, alright. Then I'll see what confidence you have. If you lose today, I'll see how you still have the face to continue messing around with your Heavenly Academy!"

Wang Chu was infuriated, he put on a set of iron gloves. He did not use any weapons, but he was far from having the ability to withstand blades and swords with his bare hands like Gu Xuan did.

Chen Ba held the axe with both of his hands as his eyes filled with disdain and ridicule, as if he had never placed this opponent, who was only a rank lower than him, in his eyes.

"Soaring Murderous Force!"

In his fury, Wang Chu took a sudden step forward as his body lifted into the air. On his palm, streams of wind energy gathered and condensed into a ball. In this ball of Force, countless wind energy twisted and spiraled, and then, forcibly controlled by Wang Chu, it exploded towards Chen Ba.

Wherever the Force went, even the air was distorted.

In a month's time, under the impact of Gu Xuan's defeat, Wang Chu madly cultivated, and finally raised his proficient martial arts to a new level.

Facing Wang Chu's powerful martial arts, Chen Ba laughed out loud and picked up the battle axe, the wide axe suddenly released a dazzling gold light, when the golden light had converged to its peak, it furiously slashed down.

Clang!

The terrifying axe strike destroyed everything in its path, and Wang Chu's wind-type martial art, under the brute force of the Giant Ax, was instantly crushed into nothingness. The power of this axe strike did not diminish at all, and directly blew Wang Chu away.

Boom! *

Wang Chu flew out, and landed back on the stage, while the iron gauntlet in his hand was actually split into two, if not for Chen Ba showing mercy, his palm would have been broken.

One hit kill!

Mountain And River List number three and number four were originally on par with each other, but now, Wang Chu had actually been directly defeated by Chen Ba, which meant that Chen Ba had broken through the Nine Stars Profound Level realm and stepped into the Peak Profound Level!

"Peak Profound Level, Senior Brother Chen Ba broke through!"

Senior Brother Chen Ba originally only had Nine Stars Profound Level, but now that you have broken through to the Peak Profound Level, naturally the Military Strength will defy the heavens. "

"Seems like this time's first place will definitely belong to Senior Brother Chen Ba."

"That's only natural. Although Senior Brother Gu Xuan is also powerful, he relied on the massive amount of Treasure Point she earned last month. He's still a little lacking compared to Senior Brother Chen Ba."

The group of students were all sighing with emotion. This competition of Heavenly Academy had only just begun, yet two dark horses had already appeared, one after another was stunned.

However, this kind of situation was within everyone's expectations. Almost every session of the Heavenly Court Large Competition, a dark horse would appear, and the most serious one, a total of seven dark horses, would silently endure, wanting to shock everyone in the Heavenly Court Large Competition. The final result was obviously quite miserable, especially the first Mountain And River List, who was pushed to the eighth place.

The number of dark horses in this episode is still far from the number of dark horses in the previous episode, but in terms of quality, it was already difficult for him to make any progress.

Chen Ba grinned, but in the end, his gaze landed on Gu Xuan, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "Next time, I will directly choose you. If I defeat you, I will be the true number one in Heavenly Academy!"

"I wish you success." Gu Xuan also shook his head with a smile. Although this Chen Ba's strength was not bad, he was far from being his match.

The crowd didn't expect the two geniuses to have a tit for a tat situation. They couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, but then they also felt relieved.

Chen Ba's strength was too strong, upon breaking through a realm, he would immediately possess the ability to challenge the next realm. On the other hand, Gu Xuan only relied on the accumulation of resources to break through, hence he was extremely fast, but to truly raise his own strength, he would need a period of time to train.

Moreover, Gu Xuan was only a freshman, so even if he lost to Chen Ba, it wouldn't be a big deal. In the Large Competition next year, Gu Xuan would definitely be number one.

Zhou Juechu sized Chen Ba up once, then suddenly said slowly: "You're not bad, if you have time, you can look for me to spar with me."

When Chen Ba heard this voice, he immediately turned his head, and upon realizing that the one who spoke was indeed Zhou Juechu, his rough and crude face flushed red from excitement, and then directly knelt on the ground in agitation.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Brother Zhou!"

Everyone's eyes were also filled with envy when they looked at Chen Ba, and there wasn't the slightest hint of disdain for his actions of kneeling.

A total of four of the most talented Zhou Juechu s were willing to follow, let alone a mere Profound Level genius.

For example, the four followers of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermillion Bird Xuan Wu behind Zhou Juechu, who were originally also at the two star level of One Star Sovereign Level, had already stepped into the middle stage of the Sovereign Level since following Gu Xuan for one year. This speed was also terrifying.

Zhou Juechu breaking through Sovereign Level in two years was nothing, but to break through One Star Sovereign Level in another two years and cultivate to Peak Sovereign Level, this was truly rising from the heavens, something even the other three kings could only look up to.

"Get up." Zhou Juechu's voice was very calm, but under the wide black robe, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Gu Xuan calmly standing in the distance.

"Gu Xuan, oh Gu Xuan, an opponent that you can't defeat, yet you kneel down because of a single word from me, what right do you have to compete with me?"
