Miraculous Beyond Belief

Gu Fang's words were utterly blunt, yet the smile on Diao Yu's face did not change in the slightest. He still wore that grinning expression.

"Little brother, don't be so irritable. Some things can only be known after trying. Of course, I, Diao Yu, have never forced a man against his will.

"If you ever have such intentions in the future, just tell Diao Yu first!"

"Never. Stay away from me."

Gu Fang shifted half a step to the side. As he spoke, he avoided Diao Yu again and headed toward the city gate.

When Diao Yu saw Gu Fang leave, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face. Until just then, he had never intended to let Gu Fang go, yet even so...

Gu Fang had effortlessly evaded his blockade!

From that move alone, Diao Yu already understood...

This fellow was not simple!

With that thought, Diao Yu did not make another move. After all, compared to "beauty," his own life was far more important.

The reason he had made a name for himself among Wutan City's mercenaries was not merely his Nine-star Fighter Peak strength. It was also his ability to read people and his keen eye for navigating among the three great families, including the Xiao Family, to secure benefits for himself.

After glancing once more at Gu Fang's back, Diao Yu restrained the lewdness in his eyes and followed behind Gu Fang. "This young master looks unfamiliar. I presume you are not from Wutan City.

"May I ask what brings you to Wutan City?"

"What does it have to do with you? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

Gu Fang paused for a moment before speaking coldly.

At the same time, the soul power of the Heaven Realm pressed down upon Diao Yu.

The moment Gu Fang's soul power enveloped Diao Yu, Diao Yu felt as though heaven and earth were collapsing inward upon him. Death gathered into a scythe,

resting against his throat. If the young man before him so much as willed it,

his life would likely end right there!

"Young master, spare me! Young master, spare me!"

Diao Yu shouted as he dropped to his knees with a thud. "Though I, Diao Yu, am not strong, when it comes to information in Wutan City, if I claim to be first, no one would dare claim second.

"I only wished to ask whether there was anything you needed Diao Yu to do. I absolutely had no other intentions!"

Diao Yu's pleas were not quiet at all. He practically screamed them at the top of his lungs, his voice even carrying a hint of tears. That kneeling motion accompanying his cries

also drew the attention of all the mercenaries passing through the city gate.

"What is that guy doing? Has he gone mad?"

"Diao Yu? Why is that guy kneeling? Has he gone crazy? Is that another young master from some great family?"

"No, I just saw Diao Yu harassing that young man. He definitely isn't some young master from a great family, but in the blink of an eye, Diao Yu knelt down and begged for mercy."

"Hiss, is that true? Diao Yu is at the Nine-star Fighter Peak. If that's the case..."

"That young man is a Dou Zhe, or perhaps even stronger?"

"Where did this little monster come from?!"

As the crowd spoke, everyone turned their gazes toward Gu Fang.

But there was no pity in their eyes now, only fear and dread!

Diao Yu possessed Nine-star Fighter Peak strength and was considered quite skilled among their mercenary group. But if this was truly the case...

then if they faced that young man, they likely would not fare any better.

For a time, all the mercenaries within five meters of Gu Fang retreated, leaving this space to Gu Fang and the kneeling Diao Yu.

"Diao Yu, right?"

Gu Fang turned his head and looked at Diao Yu kneeling on the ground with interest. "Take me to the Xiao Family. Do this properly, and I'll spare your life for now!"

As Gu Fang spoke his final word, the soul power pressing down upon Diao Yu withdrew back into his body.

When the soul power receded, Diao Yu felt as though he had returned to the world from the gates of death, as if he had been granted a new life.

At the same time...

Under Gu Fang's terrifying pressure, Diao Yu discovered that the threshold of the Fighter Peak that had troubled him for years... had begun to loosen.

But Diao Yu did not dare seize that opportunity now.

Diao Yu knew very well that his life was still in the hands of the young man before him.

If he caused even the slightest dissatisfaction...

then only death awaited him!

Forget it, forget it. Let it be. Even if I can't break through, it's still far better than losing my life!

Diao Yu thought this, but just as he was about to rise from the ground and lead Gu Fang to the Xiao Family, a hand suddenly pressed down on top of his head.

Then...

Gu Fang's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Sit cross-legged, circulate and convert your Dou Qi, and follow my instructions!"

Gu Fang's voice was not polite in the slightest, even carrying a cold severity, but to Diao Yu's ears, it sounded like heavenly music.

Yet Diao Yu had no mood to give thanks. Having been trapped at this stage for years, he knew better than anyone how precious this opportunity was.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began circulating his cultivation method. The next moment, the surrounding Dou Qi poured into Diao Yu's body!

Diao Yu's actions stunned the surrounding spectators. As they sensed the fluctuations in Diao Yu's power, the confusion on their faces slowly turned into envy!

"A breakthrough? Diao Yu is breaking through? How is that possible?"

"But this clearly looks like a breakthrough!"

"He was previously at the Nine-star Fighter Peak. Wouldn't a breakthrough make him a Dou Zhe?"

"He's been stuck at the Nine-star Fighter Peak for so many years and is already getting old, yet he can still break through. What damned luck."

The discussions continued one after another, until Gu Fang shouted,

"Now! Charge through!"

His roar was thunderous, and the surrounding voices abruptly fell silent. But Diao Yu's aura suddenly surged, and the next moment...

a brand-new power, stronger than before, appeared on Diao Yu's body.

At the same time, a thin Battle Qi Gauze Robe like mist covered his body.

"He broke through successfully?"

"He really did it! He succeeded without any preparation. Diao Yu is really something!"

Cries of shock rang out one after another, but they were much quieter than before. Some of the mercenaries who had initially joined the discussion

were now silent, their attention entirely fixed on Gu Fang.

Though they did not dare be completely certain, they were ninety percent sure...

that the reason Diao Yu had broken through was this strange young man!

Diao Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, utterly unconcerned with the crowd watching him, and threw back his head in laughter. "I succeeded! I succeeded! A Dou Zhe, a Dou Zhe!

"Seven years! Seven years!

"From today onward, I, Diao Yu, am also a Dou Zhe!"

"Get up and take me to the Xiao Family!"

Gu Fang looked coldly at the wildly laughing Diao Yu and kicked him, sending Diao Yu sprawling face-first onto the ground as he spoke.

"Yes, yes! Diao Yu will take you to the Xiao Family right away, young master!"

Diao Yu scrambled up from the ground. There was not the slightest anger at having made a fool of himself in public, only fawning flattery. "Without you today, young master, Diao Yu could never have broken through.

"Diao Yu will never forget today's kindness.

"From now on, if you ever need anything, young master, Diao Yu would not hesitate to die ten thousand times for you!"

Diao Yu's voice was loud, spreading to every mercenary at the city gate.

In an instant...

every mercenary swallowed hard, then stared fixedly at Gu Fang!

Not a single person spoke, but their slightly hurried breaths already revealed the feelings of all the mercenaries.

Shock!

With a single sentence, he had helped Diao Yu, who had been trapped at the Fighter Peak for seven years, break through to become a Dou Zhe.

What kind of skill was that?

It could only be described with one phrase...

Miraculous beyond belief!

For a moment, all the mercenaries gathered toward Gu Fang, every one of their eyes filled with...

fervor!

If Diao Yu could do it, then so could they. Among the mercenaries present, how many were trapped at the Fighter Peak without any chance to break through and become Dou Zhe?

In their eyes at this moment,

Gu Fang was their savior!

In the darkness of despair, even a single ray of light was enough to drive them mad.
