But the very next second, a violent power erupted from the cross-dressed Gu Chen. The aura of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul swept over them, and Soul Rings with the optimal configuration rose from beneath his feet.
Gu Chen gripped the Golden Dragon Spear and shot forward like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xu Sanshi, sweeping his spear across.
Xu Sanshi's expression changed instantly.
Why is this aura just like Gu Chen's? What terrifying pressure!
Facing the sweeping dragon spear, Xu Sanshi promptly raised the Black Tortoise Shell Shield to block it.
BOOM!
Xu Sanshi was struck as if by a massive hammer. His whole body flew backward, and he spat blood as countless cracks appeared across the Black Tortoise Shell Shield.
By contrast, Gu Chen merely stood with the dragon spear in hand, his back to Xu Sanshi. His peerless bearing made it hard to look at him directly.
At that moment.
Xu Sanshi was utterly aghast.
Why is this power so similar to that brat Gu Chen's? Its explosive force and destructive power are extreme. This is practically inhuman.
Xu Sanshi then raised his head and shouted, "What's your relationship with Gu Chen?"
He no longer had the slightest interest in the Golden Dragon Princess before him. The pain in his body was unbearable, and he had already entered sage mode.
Gu Chen's lips curled up. "What Gu Chen? I don't know any Gu Chen."
Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth and shouted, "You're lying! If you don't know Gu Chen, I'll eat shit! You must have some connection to him. Where else would you get such pure power? You're definitely connected to Gu Chen!"
"You talk too much!" Gu Chen gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, spun around, and charged forward, the spear aimed straight at Xu Sanshi's throat.
Xu Sanshi's third Soul Ring lit up, and he shouted, "Xuanming Power!"
In an instant, the surrounding water elements gathered, strengthening the Black Tortoise Shell Shield's defense and doubling his power.
But that still wasn't enough. Xu Sanshi released the Xuanming Shield Formation again to defend himself.
Before Gu Chen could reach Xu Sanshi, a great many shields had already gathered around him, protecting him completely.
"Pathetic tricks!"
Gu Chen's gaze turned cold. He roused the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power and unleashed the first Soul Skill of the Golden Dragon Body, doubling his overall enhancement as well.
This time, he thrust straight at Xu Sanshi's turtle shell shield. The Golden Dragon Spear let out a dragon's roar.
BOOM!
That irresistible force shattered the Xuanming Shield Formation—and Xu Sanshi's turtle shell shield along with it.
The Black Tortoise Shell Shield broke for the second time. Two-for-two.
The first time, Gu Chen had shattered it. This time, the mysterious blue-haired senior sister from the Outer Court had done it. Xu Sanshi's title of Eternal Defense seemed like a joke now.
Xu Sanshi spat blood and collapsed to the ground.
He wasn't dead, but he was badly injured.
He'd been used as a practice dummy again!
Gu Chen turned around and smiled gently at Xu Sanshi. "Forgot to tell you, miss here has a bad temper. When I'm dealing with a playboy like you, it's usually best to stab you to death. But I'm in a good mood this time, so I'll see you again."
"If you want to challenge me, remember to train some more. Your Black Tortoise Martial Soul isn't much, is it?"
With that, the cross-dressed Gu Chen vanished from the Soul Fighting Arena, leaving the badly injured Xu Sanshi lying in the ring.
"You..."
Xu Sanshi's face flushed with rage, and he promptly passed out.
Bei Bei, watching from the sidelines, panicked and shouted, "Quick, go get Elder Zhuang!"
Tang Ya cursed from nearby, "Serves him right! A lecher got what was coming to him. He sees one pretty senior sister and tries to chase after her, and now he's coughing up blood!"
Jiang Nannan also wore a look of disgust, thinking Xu Sanshi deserved what he got.
That detestable womanizer had finally shown his true colors.
She hated Xu Sanshi even more now.
Then, thunderous applause erupted from the stands. Those who had bet on the Golden Dragon Princess had made a fortune, turning their lives around overnight.
The odds had been 3.5 to one! They'd made a killing!
Ning Tian and the others in the stands were practically jumping up to celebrate, their breathing quickened with excitement.
They'd hit the jackpot!
They'd cleared more than ten million Gold Soul Coins this round. It was almost too good to be true.
This mysterious senior sister from the Outer Court, the Golden Dragon Princess Blue, was simply too powerful.
Not only did she have Gu Chen's explosive strength, she also wielded a golden Golden Dragon Spear. Her combat power was terrifying, a rare sight in a lifetime.
Most importantly, that senior sister was incredibly beautiful!
A few minutes later, Xu Sanshi was carried away on a stretcher. The atmosphere at the venue remained as frenzied as ever, and quite a few people had already started discreetly investigating the mysterious senior sister from the Outer Court.
With her peerless beauty and domineering strength, this mysterious senior sister had already become an idol in the hearts of many male and female students.
However, this mysterious senior sister appeared only once and was never seen again.
Even when some long-established students from the academy investigated, they came up empty-handed. The only answer they found was a blank.
Before long, Gu Chen returned to his true form and sat back down beside Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue.
Ning Tian and the others immediately crowded around him, staring intently at Gu Chen.
They'd just seen such an incredible performance. What had this guy been doing?
"Big bro, big bro, listen! A mysterious senior sister from the Outer Court just showed up at the Soul Fighting Arena. Her name was Blue, and she called herself the Golden Dragon Princess. She wielded a Golden Dragon Spear and beat Xu Sanshi until he was howling. It was so satisfying! She had half your bearing!"
Xie Huanyue leaned in and vividly described the mysterious senior sister's strength and breathtaking beauty.
Ning Tian chimed in, "That mysterious senior sister's Martial Soul seems to share your origins. It's the legendary, rare Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Could she be your older sister?"
"I think she probably is. Their expressions look about thirty percent alike," Wu Feng said.
Gu Chen listened to them describe it and managed to hold back his laughter. Then he said, "How could she be my sister? My sister's Martial Soul is similar to mine, but she wouldn't have come here with me."
"I think the academy probably trained her. She just doesn't want to appear in public. She couldn't stand Xu Sanshi's behavior, so she came out to teach that lecherous simp a lesson."
Ning Tian and the others thought that made sense. Xu Sanshi deserved it!
Lust had landed him in trouble, hadn't it?
But they caught the second piece of information: Gu Chen really did have an older sister, and she had the Golden Dragon Martial Soul too. It was simply unbelievable.
Ning Tian asked, "Your older sister has the Golden Dragon Martial Soul too?"
"Yes."
Gu Chen nodded, admitting it without dodging the subject. He continued, "She's a little stronger than I am and usually cultivates with our clan. Maybe you'll meet her someday."
Stronger than Gu Chen?
And she was still cultivating with her clan?
Gu Chen actually had such an impressive older sister. Wasn't she even more overpowered than him?
This whole family was full of overpowered monsters.
Just then, seeing that it was about time, Gu Chen stood up and said, "I came to the Soul Fighting Arena to fight today. Remember to place your bets. It's my turn to go on now."
"Big bro, I'm betting everything on you!" Xie Huanyue said.
Gu Chen smiled faintly, left his seat, registered for a Soul Fighting match again, and headed to the arena to train.
As for the Golden Dragon Princess's identity, he'd let everyone else keep guessing.
Over the next two hours, Gu Chen descended upon the Soul Fighting Arena like a god of war. He repeatedly delivered spectacular performances against senior students from the upper grades, practically crushing an entire generation.
Against opponents below five rings, one hit was all it took. Four-ring opponents were pushovers. He beat the upper-grade students from the Outer Court until they were howling.
His left fist hit hard, and his right fist hit hard too. Everyone was afraid of facing him.
In truth, Gu Chen's limits were far beyond that. He simply didn't know where they lay.
So far, he hadn't even used the Super Divine Artifact, the Heaven-Sacred Abyss-Splitting Halberd. No one had been able to make him bring out that Super Divine Artifact yet.
If Silver Dragon King power couldn't solve the problem, he'd raise the Golden Dragon King's fists and teach the upper-grade students a lesson. He was a one-man barricade against ten thousand, leaving the Outer Court students traumatized and drawing the attention of students from the Inner Court.
After several Soul Fighting matches, the odds on Gu Chen plummeted. With his win rate so high, Shrek Academy's Soul Fighting Arena lost a great deal of money, while Ning Tian and the others made a fortune.
