Do You Really Have to Cheat This Hard?!

"Your Daoist master has made it! Hahahaha!"

Within the golden light, a figure shot into the sky with a booming laugh.

The next instant, an even more dazzling golden radiance erupted from Gu Qingzhou, soaring straight into the heavens, tearing apart the clouds that filled the sky and revealing ten thousand miles of clear blue.

High above, wind and clouds churned. A golden sword phantom stretching across heaven and earth emerged, its sword intent icy and sharp, pressing the very firmament into seeming to bow its head. Everyone felt a stabbing pain in their souls and dared not look at it directly.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"It's coming from Sword Peak! That sword intent is terrifying—I feel like I'll explode if I look at it one second longer."

"Hiss, a heavenly phenomenon! Could someone have awakened a special constitution?"

The appearance of this heavenly phenomenon naturally drew the attention of the sect's peak masters and elders.

In the blink of an eye, space was torn open, and one powerful figure after another stepped out from within, appearing not far from Gu Qingzhou.

"What incredibly sharp sword intent. Could this boy have awakened the legendary Gengjin Sword Body?" The Sword Peak Master stared at the scene, unable to hide the shock on his face.

"It seems he isn't merely a Supreme Grade Gold Spirit Root bearer, but possesses the Gengjin Sword Body. This time, your Sword Peak has truly picked up a bargain..." Sect Master Liu Zhengyang had also appeared, his eyes filled with praise as he looked at Gu Qingzhou.

"Hahaha! It seems our Falling Cloud Sect will gain another peerless Sword Immortal!" The Sword Peak Master laughed heartily, his excitement impossible to conceal.

Just as everyone was speaking, the phenomenon changed once more, and the golden light filling the sky rapidly gathered before Gu Qingzhou.

The next moment, within that golden radiance, a golden longsword slowly condensed from illusion into substance, suspended horizontally before him.

Looking at the longsword before him, Gu Qingzhou felt something stir within his heart and reached out to grip it.

Clang!

The sword cry pierced the heavens and echoed through the universe. Gu Qingzhou slowly chanted, "From the day I first held a sword in my youth, I knew that I would become the Sword Dao Champion!"

As his words fell, every sword-type weapon within a hundred-mile radius trembled in unison. Their cries shook the heavens, like ten thousand swords paying homage to their ancestor, all bowing their heads in submission to Gu Qingzhou.

"Seriously, was that necessary?! You're cheating this hard—aren't you afraid of getting banned?!"

Watching the scene in the sky, Mo Shang's eyes widened. Say what one might, he had truly been shown up by that guy...

"The Gengjin Sword Body, one of the foremost Sword Dao constitutions. I never expected to see it here." Jiang Shuyu's face also showed surprise.

It was not only Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu. At this moment, every elder of the Falling Cloud Sect wore a shocked expression—even the sect master was no exception.

"It's actually the legendary Heavenly Gift!" The Sword Peak Master was also filled with astonishment.

"A Heavenly Gift means a boundless Dao Path. This child has the bearing of a great emperor—he truly has a few shades of my former self..." Looking at Gu Qingzhou in the sky, Sect Master Liu Zhengyang sighed.

Only those acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao could obtain a Heavenly Gift. In other words, Gu Qingzhou's talent in the Sword Dao had received the Heavenly Dao's recognition!

Why say that? Because the last person to receive a Heavenly Gift had already become a peerless powerhouse of this world!

After Gu Qingzhou gripped the longsword, the heavenly phenomenon gradually began to fade, finally returning to calm.

Gu Qingzhou then descended from the sky and landed in Mo Shang's courtyard.

"So, Brother Mo, was I handsome or what?" Gu Qingzhou asked with a grin, his face brimming with smug pride.

Can't find the book by its title? Try searching for the author—it may have simply been renamed!

"No, bro, you went that far? You're totally cheating, aren't you?!"

Mo Shang was utterly crushed. He feared his brother suffering, but feared even more that his brother would drive a Land Rover. His own mediocrity was frightening enough, but his brother's success made him beat his chest and stamp his feet all the more.

"I wanted to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but my strength simply wouldn't allow it. I won't pretend anymore—I'm a peerless genius!" Gu Qingzhou swept his bangs back with one hand and declared arrogantly.

Seeing that smug face, Mo Shang's fist immediately hardened. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw a punch straight at him.

"Whoa, Brother Mo, what are you doing?" Gu Qingzhou reacted swiftly, swaying aside to evade the punch.

"You're too damn smug. If I don't beat you up, my Dao heart won't be at peace." Mo Shang offered no further explanation as he closed in again and threw another punch.

"I dodge—heh, you can't hit me..."

"Yin-Yang Chaos, bind."

At that moment, a cool, detached voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a black-and-white vortex appeared out of thin air beneath Gu Qingzhou's feet. Several chains shot from it and tightly bound him in place.

And the one who had acted was none other than Jiang Shuyu!

"Hahaha, nicely done, Shuyu! Take my punch!" Mo Shang laughed as he rushed forward, giving Gu Qingzhou a warm and heartfelt greeting with his fist.

"Jiang Shuyu, you have no martial virtue! You actually launched a sneak attack..."

"Ow, don't hit my face! I make my living off this face..."

"It's fine. You can make your living off your peerless talent instead."

"I was wrong, bro! I won't show off anymore—spare me..."

At this moment, the sect big shots who had rushed over watched from the sky as Gu Qingzhou suffered Mo Shang's frenzied elbow strikes in the courtyard. All of them burst into laughter, with no intention whatsoever of stopping it...

"Young people really are full of vigor..."

"Haha, seeing him act so smug just now, I'd wanted to do that myself. Good beating..."

"Uh, shouldn't we stop them?"

"It's merely youngsters fooling around. Why should elders like us interfere? Let them be..."

After enduring a thorough beating, Gu Qingzhou very successfully transformed from a handsome young man into a pig-headed mess.

However, Mo Shang felt not the slightest guilt over it. If anything, he wanted to laugh.

"You really hit hard. You kept aiming for my face..." Gu Qingzhou got up from the ground, touched his already swollen face, and muttered.

As he spoke, a flash of spiritual light passed over Gu Qingzhou's face, and his swollen features returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Such superficial injuries were child's play to cultivators and could recover in an instant. That was also why Mo Shang had struck without any reservations...

"Can't help it. Who told you to be so handsome? My fists just like it especially much..." Mo Shang shrugged.

"I'm someone who received a Heavenly Gift, you know. Couldn't you have gone a little easier on me?" Gu Qingzhou asked again, looking utterly speechless.

"A Heavenly Gift? That longsword from just now?" Hearing the words "Heavenly Gift," Mo Shang recalled the longsword Gu Qingzhou had held earlier.

"That's right. This sword is called the Gengjin Soul-Slaying Sword. Empowered by the Heavenly Dao, as long as I hold it, my strength will receive a ten percent boost in every aspect." With a wave of his hand, Gu Qingzhou summoned the golden longsword back into his grasp.

The entire sword was golden. Even without deliberately activating it, the sharp Sword Qi leaking from it made one's entire body ache, showing just how extraordinary the weapon was.

"Not only that, this sword can also grow stronger as I continuously grow stronger," Gu Qingzhou added.

"A boost in every aspect? And it can grow too?! How the hell am I supposed to keep playing this game?!" Mo Shang was crushed once again.

It was an all-around increase rather than a boost to a single attribute. Though it was only ten percent, it was enough to raise Gu Qingzhou's strength by an entire level!
