The battle between Gong Wenyu and Liu Gongxuan drew quite a few eyes. One was the most outstanding martial artist of Zaohua Taoist School's younger generation, while the other was the representative figure among the younger generation under Su Xin.
Su Xin had always displayed overwhelming strength. He alone could hold up an entire Northwest Circuit, so people had in fact somewhat underestimated the martial artists under his command.
In truth, upstarts like Su Xin, who had built themselves up from nothing, nearly all shared this flaw: their own strength was formidable, but their subordinates were weak.
Take Di Jingfei of the Zheng Sword Alliance, for example. Di Jingfei had now advanced into the True Martial Realm, and had even defeated martial artists from the Immortal Domain the moment he stepped into that realm. Yet the Zheng Sword Alliance under him remained a motley rabble, and no astonishing figures had emerged from its next generation. Even his younger brother, Di Yunfei, had only been passable in strength back then.
But with this assault on Shaolin Temple, Su Xin's Dark Guard and Blood God Sect had given everyone a surprise.
Shaolin Temple's foundation could not be called anything but profound. Though the two major forces under Su Xin were still no match for Shaolin Temple even combined, they could nevertheless inflict a certain degree of damage upon it. For Su Xin at this stage, that was already no easy feat.
Gong Wenyu was the most outstanding young martial artist under Su Xin. His strength also represented the overall level of the younger generation beneath Su Xin's command. Only a force with a complete inheritance could truly flourish into a top-tier power.
Yet when the two sides began fighting, Gong Wenyu's performance truly surpassed everyone's expectations.
