Gu Ding VS Futu

Gu Ding and Fu Tu are ranked first and second respectively on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking of Demigod Prodigy Ranking. One is ranked first in total virtual world points, and the other is ranked second in total virtual world points.

Everyone has witnessed their strength; they are both so powerful that they seem almost inhuman.

Therefore, a match between these two is something many people are looking forward to.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, the onlookers retreated to a more distant place.

Gu Ding didn't refuse Fu Tu's suggestion outright, but instead muttered to himself with a strange expression, "There's something I've always found odd: in these twenty-five days, it seems like we haven't been assigned to the same area even once. But thankfully, we still managed to meet on this last day."

"It's not necessarily because we weren't assigned to the same area; we just haven't run into each other yet. After all, each area in this virtual world is so large, it's normal to miss each other," Fu Tu said with a smile.

However, Gu Ding knew very well that Futu had never been assigned to the same area as him, and the Sea Emperor had specifically mentioned this before. Moreover, given Futu's unrestricted detection capabilities, it was impossible for him not to know that Gu Ding had never been assigned to the same area as him. The reason he said that was probably to conceal the fact that his detection capabilities were unrestricted.

Gu Ding didn't expose him, but continued, "Anyway, we've finally run into each other this time. Actually, I heard your name before I entered the Universe Sea, and ever since then, I've always wanted to fight you."

"Then let's have a friendly spar. I've been thinking the same thing."

As Fu Tu spoke, he seemingly casually took a step forward, and cracks bloomed from beneath his feet, resembling a dense spider web, spreading continuously in all directions. At the same time, his aura surged wildly, and a golden-armored Emperor Projection slowly condensed above his head.

The projection was of a man in golden armor. He sat regally on a golden throne, his posture majestic, exuding an aura of supreme authority.

The fact that Futu summoned the Emperor Projection right away is enough to show how much he values Gu Ding.

Many who had fought against Futu looked on in surprise at the scene before them; they had never seen Futu use the Emperor Projection on anyone else before.

Even Dokter, who had fought against Futu before, was somewhat surprised, as he knew Futu's power well. Seeing Futu summon the Emperor Projection, he found it hard to imagine how powerful Futu would be with the Emperor Projection's blessing.

Gu Ding transformed into flame form once more, rapidly forming intricate hand seals. After a few breaths, the seals quickly solidified, and the seemingly illusory flame marks slowly descended to the ground, imprinting a golden pattern on the ground in front of Gu Ding.

A moment later, the golden pattern seemed to come to life and began to rotate automatically, causing a strong tremor to emanate from the ground beneath everyone's feet.

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, a golden flame shot out from the rotating mark, soaring into the sky. It slowly condensed into an enormous fireball in mid-air. Immediately afterward, a blue flame erupted, also forming a fireball. Then, three more flames of different colors shot out in succession, resulting in five enormous fireballs of different colors that dyed the entire sky a dazzling spectacle.

Everyone stared intently at the five enormous fireballs, eager to know the secret behind Gu Ding's move.

The five fireballs quickly fell from the sky, but their impact point wasn't in the direction where the Buddha was standing. Instead, they landed around the Buddha. This surprised many people, as many assumed the fireballs were summoned by Gu Ding for a direct attack. However, they soon witnessed something even more astonishing.

Because after the five fireballs of different colors fell to the ground, they quickly condensed into five giant pythons of different colors and shapes.

A few soft gasps could be faintly heard from the crowd. Clearly, no one had expected Gu Ding's move to have this effect.

Only a few people could tell that the five giant pythons were not controlled by fire manipulation, but were living beings with their own intelligence.

Scarlet recognized the move; he had seen it used before when he fought Gu Ding in the War God Arena. Gu Ding had used it then, though its power was far less than it is now.

Liliath and the others hadn't seen Gu Ding go all out in a long time, and they watched the scene with some excitement.

Five giant pythons, each a thousand meters long, stared coldly at the pagoda, slowly flicking their tongues.

With Fu Tu's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that these five giant fire pythons were no different from living creatures, and their combat capabilities might even far surpass those of the Luo Yu Beast in the five-star Peak-rank God zone of the Flame Zone. But he was not afraid at all. With a leap, he pounced on one of the giant pythons, and the Emperor Projection above his head also floated.

Clenching his fist, retracting his elbow, and swinging his fist, he unleashed an extremely simple punch, sending out a golden energy shockwave. Almost simultaneously, the Emperor Projection suddenly opened its eyes, shooting out two beams of golden light that merged with the energy shockwave.

The enormous golden python didn't have time to dodge and was directly pierced by the shockwave, then slowly disintegrated.

Several exclamations came from the crowd. Many people did not expect that Futu would break Gu Ding's move with just one strike.

But Gu Ding showed no unusual expression; it seemed that everything was within his expectations.

Only the Gu Ding Team and a few people who had witnessed the battle Gu Ding and Scarlet in the War God Arena knew that Gu Ding's move was not so simple.

Having landed a successful blow, Fu Tu didn't pause for a moment, turning around and lunging at the Cyan Giant Python beside him.

Just then, a Black Radiance flashed, violently sending the pagoda flying and smashing more than a dozen volcanoes to pieces.

Only then did everyone realize that what had been whipping the pagoda was the tail of the giant black flame python.

"He was actually sent flying?!" Dokter stared at the scene before him in disbelief. He had previously struggled with all his might to force Futu to move. He glanced at Gu Ding with a strange expression, knowing that he probably couldn't even defeat a Fire Python summoned by Gu Ding.

Dozens of kilometers away, Futu quickly emerged from a patch of lava and then leaped up from the volcanic ruins. His body was still entangled with many black flames, like maggots clinging to his bones, frantically absorbing the divine source within him.

"This is the Devouring Flame?" Fu Tu raised his arm, looked at the flame enveloping his sleeve, and casually patted it with his palm, extinguishing the domineering Devouring Flame instantly.

After extinguishing the flames, Futu leaped a few times and quickly reappeared on the original battlefield, seemingly unharmed.

"Your physical body is too powerful!"

Gu Ding was somewhat surprised. He had summoned these Fire Python before to fight against the virtual creatures of five-star Peak-rank God. Basically, with a flick of its tail, if the virtual creatures of those five-star Peak-rank God were hit, they would completely lose their fighting ability, even if they did not immediately disintegrate. But now, Fu Tu did not look injured at all. It was obvious that Fu Tu's physical strength even exceeded that of Elsa in her prime.

"My defense is just a little stronger than that of an ordinary person," Fu Tu said modestly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the battle continued. This time, the remaining four Fire Python simultaneously surrounded the pagoda, all opening their mouths and spitting flames at it.

The Buddha stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, and was directly engulfed by the four-colored flames.

Seeing this, the crowd began to discuss it animatedly.

"Didn't Futu have time to dodge?"

"Probably not. With his speed, dodging this kind of attack shouldn't be a problem."

"It seems he's deliberately not dodging..."

"But these divine fire-type attacks would be very troublesome once you get hit, wouldn't they?"

Liliath frowned slightly. With her speed, she could have barely escaped the attack of the four giant pythons. Even if she might have been touched by a flame or two, she wouldn't have been completely swallowed up like Futu.

"What exactly does he want? Even a five-star Peak-rank God's physical body can't gain any advantage against Gu Ding's divine fire." Elsa, who was Body Refinement Cultivator, was no stranger to Gu Ding's divine fire.

Seeing the pagoda engulfed in flames, Gu Ding was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected it to be hit by such an attack. However, he also knew that the pagoda would have had ample time to escape. Therefore, he didn't understand why the pagoda had deliberately allowed itself to be struck.

A moment later, four booming sounds rang out in succession, followed by several wails. The four giant pythons collapsed with a crash, completely turning into energy fragments.

At this point, the flames finally died down.

Gu Ding then realized that Fu Tu had deliberately been hit to deceive others, while actually concealing himself and sneaking out of the flame attack to launch a lightning-fast attack. Because Gu Ding could not detect Fu Tu's presence at all, even Gu Ding was deceived.

Although the Sea Emperor knew about it, Gu Ding had already warned Sea Emperor before the war with Fu Tu not to help, so he didn't remind Gu Ding about it.

"Your move was actually quite powerful, but it's useless against me." Fu Tu glanced at the four giant pythons that were beginning to dissipate, then turned to look at Gu Ding. "If you don't have a stronger method, we might have to switch places on the Demigod Prodigy Ranking."

Gu Ding grinned, revealing his clean, even teeth. "Uncle, don't rush, my move isn't over yet..."

As Gu Ding finished speaking, everyone saw that the energy fragments that had been formed from the disintegration of the giant python's body were rapidly and automatically coalescing. The five-colored flame energy, as if alive, twisted and recombine in the void, rearranging and combining, and before everyone's eyes, it once again formed the body of a giant python.

But many people were surprised to find that although the body was that of a python, it had four claws, long whiskers, and a pair of long horns...

"This is... a real dragon?!"
