Gu Sheng did not even look at him. He continued walking forward.

Zhu Zhuqing silently emerged from the shadow behind Gu Sheng.

The razor-sharp claws of her Hell Spirit Cat gleamed with a chilling light as they tore toward the back of Gu Sheng's neck.

They passed straight through.

Her claws sliced through a patch of emptiness without the slightest resistance.

Ma Hongjun beat his wings, and Phoenix Flame blasted toward Gu Sheng from the front like a pillar of fire.

It passed straight through.

The scorching blaze swept through Gu Sheng's body in an instant, scorching the air behind him.

Xiao Wu used her nimble footwork to close in, then wrapped her long legs around Gu Sheng's neck and unleashed her Waist Bow with brutal force.

It passed straight through.

Everything passed straight through.

The seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils launched seven consecutive attacks like a raging storm.

Not only had they failed to hurt Gu Sheng in the slightest, they had not even brushed his clothes.

In the stands, more than twenty thousand spectators sprang to their feet in shock.

Countless people gaped, yet not a sound escaped them.

Gu Sheng walked to the very center of the arena and came to a steady stop.

He slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping across the Shrek team.

"Are you done?"

Gu Sheng asked.

The next instant, his figure moved without warning.

Only a fading afterimage remained where he had stood.

First, Dai Mubai.

Gu Sheng appeared in front of Dai Mubai like a ghost.

He raised his right arm and threw a punch.

It was a plain, unadorned straight punch, without a single unnecessary flourish.

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted. Instinctively, he raised his powerful arms to block.

The instant fist met forearms—

A dazzling Aurora clung to Gu Sheng's knuckles, brilliant beyond compare.

The violent energy erupted across Dai Mubai's arms.

The crack of breaking bones rang out clearly.

Dai Mubai spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with its strings cut.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and launched another deadly sneak attack from behind.

Gu Sheng did not even turn his head.

He shifted slightly to the side, easily dodging her claws.

Then his right leg lashed out like a whip.

His foot slammed squarely into Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist.

"Ah!"

With a cry of pain, Zhu Zhuqing flew sideways and crashed heavily onto the ground in the distance.

Gu Sheng flashed forward again, appearing in front of Ma Hongjun.

Seeing that handsome face so close, Ma Hongjun froze for a moment.

But he reacted quickly. Phoenix Flame erupted from within him once more, and he tried to unleash a devastating blast at point-blank range.

Violent flames surged forth.

Yet once again, the deadly fire passed right through Gu Sheng's body.

The terrifying heat poured onto the ground behind Gu Sheng, scorching a patch of hard stone tiles completely black.

Just as Ma Hongjun's momentum began to fade—

Gu Sheng suddenly raised a hand and grabbed Ma Hongjun by his chubby face.

His immense strength lifted the fat Ma Hongjun off the ground.

Then Gu Sheng's arm snapped downward, hurling Ma Hongjun viciously into the floor.

"Boom!"

The entire arena shook violently.

Cracks spread like a spiderweb from Ma Hongjun, and chunks of stone flew everywhere.

Ma Hongjun's eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot.

Gu Sheng did not pause. With a flicker, he appeared in front of Oscar.

Oscar was so terrified that he nearly lost his soul, scrambling backward.

He clutched a sausage in his hand, his mind racing as he tried to figure out what effect he should use to deal with this monster who could not be touched.

But Gu Sheng gave him no time to think.

A heavy punch slammed mercilessly into Oscar's chest.

Oscar let out a scream and flew into the air.

His helpless body hurtled straight toward Ning Rongrong behind him.

The two crashed into each other and tumbled to the ground like rolling gourds.

Ning Rongrong let out a muffled groan. The Glazed Tile Pagoda projection she had been maintaining shook violently, then vanished with a bang.

Xiao Wu was furious. Her pink Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul went all out.

Relying on her astonishing speed, she charged forward in a frenzy.

Waist Bow. Eight-Stage Slam.

She unleashed a series of dazzling grappling techniques, hoping to force Gu Sheng back with a flurry of attacks.

Facing the storm of legs, Gu Sheng remained expressionless.

He seized his chance and thrust out one hand.

His palm clamped precisely around Xiao Wu's slender, pale ankle.

All of Xiao Wu's movements stopped in an instant.

Frozen in midair, she looked down in shock at the iron-pincer grip around her ankle, her mind going blank.

Gu Sheng's expression did not change.

Holding Xiao Wu by the ankle, he swung her like a weightless rag doll.

He exerted himself and hoisted her high into the air.

Then he smashed her viciously into the ground on his left.

"Bang!"

The dull impact made the onlookers' scalps prickle as dust billowed into the air.

Next, Gu Sheng swung his arm in a wide arc, smashing Xiao Wu from the left side into the ground on the right.

"Bang!"

The movement was broad and powerful.

Every slam carried a devastating, violent force, yet Gu Sheng's calm bearing gave the brutal display a strange, powerful beauty.

After several more savage slams—

The stone floor was pounded into several deep craters.

Xiao Wu had lost consciousness. She lay limp among the ruins, completely motionless.

At the sight of this, Tang San's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

An eerie crimson flooded his eyes, and the Soul Power throughout his body ran wild.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San let out a heart-rending roar.

Gu Sheng slowly turned around, brushed the dust from his hands, and looked at the frenzied Tang San with an impassive gaze.

"You should worry about yourself first."

Before the words had even faded, Gu Sheng had crossed more than ten meters and appeared in front of Tang San.

Tang San was horrified and started to retreat.

Gu Sheng had already raised his right hand.

He bent his index finger slightly and pointed ahead.

A dazzling seven-colored Aurora flared at his fingertip.

The violent beam met no resistance as it blasted into Tang San's chest.

Tang San was struck as if by lightning, and blood sprayed from his mouth.

He skidded backward across the ground, gouging a deep furrow into the hard stone tiles.

After sliding more than ten meters, Tang San crashed heavily to the ground and could no longer move.

The Shrek Team had gone from holding a decisive advantage to being utterly defeated.

The entire battle had lasted only a dozen or so breaths.

It had happened so fast that no one had time to react.

The enormous finals arena was now so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

In the imperial box of the Heaven Dou Empire—

Emperor Xue Ye sprang to his feet, staring at the proud young man standing in the arena.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's box—

Ning Fengzhi braced both hands against the table and stood up, losing all composure.

At the highest point of Spirit Hall—

Bibi Dong gripped her scepter and slowly rose, her deep gaze fixed on the scene.

In the stands, more than twenty thousand spectators rose as one, like a surging tide.

Gu Sheng turned around.

Facing the entire arena, he slowly spread his arms.

He calmly accepted the reverent gazes of tens of thousands.
