Dad Scorns Godhood; Mortals Can Surpass Gods

Everyone on the Douluo Continent was filled with shock and confusion as they saw the introduction for Gu Yuena.

The Silver Dragon King was clearly on the side of the soul beasts, and like Di Tian, she belonged to the Dragon Clan.

Judging by the way Di Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King dared not challenge her, it was obvious her status was extraordinary.

Yet, her cultivation level was also listed as classified!

The only other person for whom this had occurred was Duan Changsheng.

Could it be that Gu Yuena's cultivation, like Duan Changsheng's, had surpassed the limits of mortals and reached true god-level strength?

At this thought, all of humanity felt a sense of awe.

It seemed that the soul beasts, just like the human race, possessed a powerful god-level expert.

As for who was stronger and who was weaker, that remained unknown.

However, since Duan Changsheng was ranked at the top of the list, it suggested that the human side had a slightly better chance of winning.

"Heavens, she's so beautiful!"

"Is this the Silver Dragon King?"

"She is simply too beautiful!"

The crowd gazed at Gu Yuena, who had appeared in human form, all of them captivated by her beauty.

In her presence, even Bibi Dong's beauty seemed to pale in comparison.

"Not bad, your human form is perfect!"

"But your injuries are severe. Are you certain you want to fight me?"

Duan Changsheng was stunned by Gu Yuena's beauty when he saw her.

He had lived on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years and had seen countless beauties.

Yet, Gu Yuena was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, bar none.

Even Bibi Dong was eclipsed in her presence.

Suffering from heavy injuries?

Upon hearing this news, everyone revealed expressions of joy.

Injuries were a good thing; that way, the human side could win.

"However, I am not a man who likes to bully a woman who is severely injured!"

"Sky Screen, can you ensure that she is not affected by her injuries in the coming challenge, so she can unleash her full strength?"

Duan Changsheng's lips curled upward as he made a request to the Sky Screen.

"No way, isn't it better that she's injured?"

"Exactly, it's easier to win if she's hurt."

"I'm speechless. Such a good opportunity, and he insists on a fair fight. What is he thinking? This is a battle concerning the dignity of our human race and the soul beasts."

"I think it's fine. This is the posture a real man should have; if you're going to fight, do it upright and honorable."

"Masked Superman, I support you. You are right; this is what a man is!"

All those watching the battle reacted differently to Duan Changsheng's actions.

Some felt he was deliberately putting on a show of integrity; he could have easily won the match, yet he insisted on acting like a gentleman.

If he were to lose, it wouldn't just be his own face he lost, but the face of the entire human race.

But others felt that Duan Changsheng's approach was correct—to win a match, one must do so honorably.

Taking advantage of someone's weakness was not the act of a gentleman.

Even if Duan Changsheng won, it would be an unglamorous victory.

However, the vast majority leaned toward the former, feeling that Duan Changsheng was being far too pretentious.

[All injuries can be temporarily suppressed during the challenge, ensuring no negative effects, allowing the challenger to confidently unleash their full strength.]

The Sky Screen responded quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the injuries within Gu Yuena's body were completely suppressed.

That long-lost sensation of power gave her an indescribable feeling.

In particular, the surging strength made Gu Yuena feel as if she had returned to the God Realm, ready to slaughter in all directions.

"Human, thank you!"

"If I win, will you let me see your true face?"

Gu Yuena wore a confident and calm smile.

Although the human before her was very strong and had fully reached the level of a hundred-level god, he was still not enough to contend with her.

It could be said that this was a guaranteed win.

"Fine!"

"But if you lose, you'll be my girlfriend. How about that?"

Duan Changsheng agreed without a moment's hesitation, turning the tables and putting forward his own demand.

All the humans and soul beasts were stunned upon hearing this.

What was going on!

This was a duel between the human race and the soul beasts, not a pursuit of romance.

Could he be a little more serious!

Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Zi Ji, who had already identified Duan Changsheng, were on the verge of a breakdown, their hearts filled with regret.

If Duan Changsheng ended up with Gu Yuena, they would have absolutely no chance of reconciling with him.

If only they had known, they never would have initiated the breakup or abandoned this relationship back then.

Otherwise, the one standing by Duan Changsheng's side would have been them.

At this very moment, the three women were praying that Duan Changsheng would not win.

If he won, they would truly have no chance left!

"Fine, no problem!"

Gu Yuena paused for a moment before agreeing.

Be his girlfriend?

How could that be!

She would not lose.

Since she wouldn't lose, what harm was there in agreeing?

"How refreshing!"

"Make your move, and let me see the prowess of the Silver Dragon King!"

Duan Changsheng remained calm and composed, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor as he gestured for her to strike first.

"Then you had better be careful!"

"Elemental Tide!"

Gu Yuena launched a probing attack, mobilizing the power of water-attribute elements to condense into a roaring water dragon.

Though the water dragon appeared small and seemingly lacking in power, it faintly contained a trace of the power of laws.

"Since you are a dragon, I shall use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to subdue you, the Silver Dragon King!"

"Twin Dragons Drawing Water!"

Duan Changsheng struck with both hands simultaneously, unleashing palm forces of different natures—one rigid and fierce, the other soft and yielding.

The soft palm force blocked the water dragon's attack, while the rigid palm force erupted with terrifying power, instantly shattering the water dragon.

Seeing this move, the Silver Dragon King was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.

Although her attack was merely a probe, it was enough to repel or even severely injure any deity below the level of a First-Class God.

Only a First-Class God would have the capability to block such a move.

Could it be that Duan Changsheng's cultivation had already reached the level of a First-Class God?

That was impossible!

A mortal's power was ultimately limited; even if one could transcend the limits, without the blessing of a godhood, one's cultivation could at most reach the level of a Third-Class God.

That was the limit of limits.

Yet, the strength Duan Changsheng had just displayed was undeniably that of a First-Class God.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and questioned, "Are you a god?"

Every spectator who heard her question felt their hearts tighten.

Because the vast majority of them also felt that Duan Changsheng was a god, not a human!

After all, in everyone's subconscious, human power could not possibly reach the level he had attained.

But if he were a god, then Duan Changsheng would no longer be representing the human race.

"I am not a god; I am a human!"

"I am a human stronger than any god!"

"In my eyes, gods are merely people with higher cultivation; there is nothing lofty or superior about them!"

"If I wanted to become a god, I would have done so long ago!"

"Unfortunately, I still prefer the identity of a human."

"As for those so-called gods, This Seat looks down upon them entirely."

"It could be said that I disdain becoming a god, because humans can also surpass gods!"

"Gu Yuena, bring out your full strength."

"Otherwise, you will lose very miserably!"
