What Does It Mean to Be Invincible Among Peers?

From Gu Zhi's perspective, Zhu Zhuqing's confession had come completely out of nowhere. This really was their first meeting.

Could it be love at first sight? But was that even Zhu Zhuqing's personality?

"She actually confessed? This plot's gone off the rails!"

"What's wrong with that? Baby Zhuqing really is the most clear-headed person in the original story! Gu Zhi is the best choice!"

"What about Dai Mubai? Are we throwing away the official pairing?"

"What kind of trash is Dai Mubai? He's a playboy, and whenever something happens, he always gives up. If he hadn't gotten a taste of success by following Tang San, how could he ever have become a god?"

"Exactly! Support Baby Zhuqing and Gu Zhi getting together! Dai Mubai should hurry up and go sap!"

The comments were still hard at work, and their barrage only made Zhu Zhuqing more resolute. Gu Zhi's character might still need further understanding, but she knew Dai Mubai far better than the comments ever could.

"Uh... well... forget it. Come with me."

Zhu Zhuqing had completely thrown Gu Zhi off. He certainly wanted to spend more time with a beauty, but wasn't this moving a little too fast?

Fortunately, Gu Zhi was experienced when it came to dealing with beauties. Though he had been caught off guard, he still handled it with ease.

Since Zhu Zhuqing had made herself so clear, Gu Zhi naturally had to test her sincerity. He had just received a new mission, so he took her to register first. They could talk after fighting a two-versus-two match.

"I didn't expect you to have plans to form a team as well. You rejected quite a few invitations before. Then please give your team a name."

The receptionist was equally shocked to see the always-solitary Gu Zhi bringing Zhu Zhuqing over to register as a team. When she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, there was a hint of envy in her eyes, as though she cared greatly about Zhu Zhuqing receiving Gu Zhi's favor.

"Solo matches are boring. This is a good chance to test the strength of the two-versus-two arena... What do you want to call us?"

Gu Zhi casually responded to the receptionist, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing. She was still flushed and nervous. In a moment of desperation, she had confessed just now. After calming down, she felt both embarrassed and happy.

"At least Gu Zhi didn't reject me, right? Even if it might be because of a system mission, there must be some genuine feeling in his heart... right?"

Lost in her tangled thoughts, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly heard Gu Zhi speaking to her. Her mind froze for a second before she came back to herself.

"I'll listen to you."

Zhu Zhuqing did not care much about such things. The next instant, she was thinking about her future with Gu Zhi again.

"Fine, then we'll be called the Cat Head Duo."

Gu Zhi glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's cat ears. They always reminded him of a certain character from a search-and-extract game.

"It's here! The Evil Cat Head!"

"Oh no! The Detection Arrow is still chasing me!"

"Damn Evil Cat Head!"

The comments immediately understood the reference behind Gu Zhi's joke and began flooding the screen with "Evil Cat Head," making Zhu Zhuqing find it inexplicably amusing.

"Alright, the Cat Head Duo... Your next match has already been arranged. Please head to the stage as soon as possible."

The receptionist managed to keep a straight face easily. Over the years, she had seen countless bizarre team names, and Cat Head did sound rather catchy.

"Seven-Eight Duo... That team name doesn't sound human either..."

Gu Zhi could not keep a straight face when he saw the opposing team's name. Compared to that, Xiao Wu and Tang San's Three-Five Duo sounded much more normal.

He led Zhu Zhuqing toward the arena. Their first two-versus-two battle was about to begin, yet Gu Zhi did not seem particularly serious.

"The opponents are a famous team. Aren't you nervous?"

Zhu Zhuqing gathered information about their opponents from the side. Upon hearing that they were experts with Soul Power Levels of thirty-seven and thirty-eight, she still felt some pressure.

Her Soul Power Level was only around twenty-six or twenty-seven. If she had not teamed up with Gu Zhi, she would never have entered an arena meant for thirty-level opponents.

"Nervous?"

Gu Zhi gave her a strange look. Even if he had not claimed the system reward yet and was still only at level thirty, a ten-level Soul Power gap was no different from being in the same realm to him.

As long as they were within the same realm, no matter how high an opponent's cultivation was or how powerful their Martial Soul and soul skills were, they could never defeat him!

"Baby Zhuqing must be confused. With Gu Zhi's absurd strength, he has no opponents at the same level!"

"Come to think of it, doesn't Gu Zhi's Martial Soul have a special ability? It seems he can use a fusion skill with any Martial Soul, right?"

"The guy above is right. I remember Gu Zhi mentioning it when he awakened his Martial Soul, but unfortunately, he never had anyone to test it with."

"There's such a thing? Gu Zhi is already strong enough, and he can just find anyone to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with? That's way too overpowered!"

"Gu Zhi, my husband, look at me! I want to try my husband's Martial Soul Fusion Skill too!"

"That comment above is a little outrageous! Where are the moderators?!"

Zhu Zhuqing's doubt caused the comments to erupt again, and they revealed something that would be enough to shock her for an entire year.

What did it mean that he could use a fusion skill with any Martial Soul? What did it mean that Gu Zhi's Martial Soul was himself after becoming the strongest god in the future?

This Strongest System was far too overpowered!

"Damn it! Zhuqing got there first!"

After seeing those comments, Ning Rongrong, who had rushed all the way to the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, gritted her teeth in anger. If she had known, she should not have been lazy and caught up on sleep at the academy. Otherwise, she should have been the first to connect with Gu Zhi!

"No! If Zhuqing can confess, then so can I! At worst, we can compete fairly!"

As Gu Zhi and Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the stage, Ning Rongrong watched them resentfully from outside the arena. Especially when she saw how handsome and powerful Gu Zhi was, she became even more determined to compete with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Alright! Welcome, everyone, to the thirty-ninth Soul Arena match of the night! You spectators are in for a treat this time! Coming up, the long-famous Seven-Eight Duo will face the rising Cat Head Duo!"

The host was also excited when he received the news. There was no need to mention the Seven-Eight Duo, a renowned expert team that had won seven consecutive victories. As for the Cat Head Duo, though they had only just formed, with a powerhouse like Gu Zhi on the team, they would definitely be worth the ticket price.

"Seven-Eight! Seven-Eight! Seven-Eight!"

"Gu Zhi! Gu Zhi! Gu Zhi!"

The audience outside the arena had already begun cheering. The supporters on both sides were nearly equally loud. However, Gu Zhi was ultimately more famous in the Cat Head Duo, having just achieved the impressive feat of ten consecutive solo victories.

"Go, Cat Head Duo!"

"Go, Gu Zhi, my husband!"

"Go, Baby Zhuqing!"

The comments were also cheering for Gu Zhi and Zhu Zhuqing. Here, it was completely one-sided. Almost no one believed the Seven-Eight Duo could win. Gu Zhi's strength was right there for all to see.

"When the match starts, just attack however you want. I can keep you safe."

As both teams stepped onto the stage, Gu Zhi and his opponents all wore relaxed expressions. Zhu Zhuqing alone felt tremendous pressure.

Gu Zhi gently patted her shoulder in encouragement, telling her to put her mind at ease and bring out her full strength. He would take care of everything else...
