"Ghosts!"
The Seven-Eight Duo cursed under their breath. They knew Gu Zhi was far more troublesome than Zhu Zhuqing, and they were at a loss for what to do.
But Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of hesitating. Aside from having her worldview overturned once again by Gu Zhi's strength, her heart was filled only with the urge to attack.
"First Soul Skill! Hell Stab!"
Her confidence soaring, Zhu Zhuqing pushed her speed to the limit. With Gu Zhi helping her seize the initiative, all she needed to do was finish the job.
The Seven-Eight Duo joined forces and unleashed their First Soul Skill. Their bodies swelled by another size, and they still chose to meet Zhu Zhuqing head-on.
They thought, The two of us are assault-type Soul Masters. There's no way we can lose head-on to an agility-type Soul Master, right?
Zhu Zhuqing remained resolute. Using Hell Stab in tandem with Gu Zhi's miraculous attacks, she broke through one man's defense, then began a close-range exchange with the other member of the Seven-Eight Duo.
There was originally a ten-level gap in Soul Power between them. Even as an agility-type Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing should not have been able to keep up, much less defend against her opponent's attacks. Yet now, she felt as if she had suddenly grasped the secret. Not only could she accurately predict her opponent's attack paths, she could always find weaknesses in his defenses and counterattack.
"Holy crap! Qingqing is incredible! She's actually suppressing her opponent head-on!"
"Can the person above turn on their screen? Gu Zhi is clearly the one constantly helping Zhu Zhuqing evade attacks and creating openings for her!"
"And you're not mentioning the defensive power Gu Zhi gave her at all? If Gu Zhi hadn't buffed Zhu Zhuqing, how many hits could the Hell Spirit Cat physique possibly take from her opponent?"
"I don't care! So what if the male lead is helping her? Hasn't my Qingqing worked hard too?"
"You know what? Neither side has any stats at all. It's all hard work and sweat!"
"I saw Zhu Zhuqing's hard work, but where's the sweat?"
"Isn't the sweat on her opponent's face?"
In just three exchanges, Zhu Zhuqing, with twenty-seventh-level Soul Power, had overpowered an opponent with thirty-seventh-level Soul Power. And she was an agility-type Soul Master suppressing an assault-type Soul Master head-on.
Not only were the viewers in the comments thrilled, but the live audience below also felt they had gotten their money's worth!
"How is this possible?"
The unoccupied member of the Seven-Eight Duo went numb when he saw this. When had his teammate ended up sitting at the kids' table? Just as he was about to step in and salvage their dignity, Gu Zhi finally gave him a proper look.
"Hiss! What terrifying pressure!"
From Gu Zhi's calm expression, the man felt unprecedented pressure, as though taking another step forward would get him eliminated on the spot.
Still, he had some pride. Though he knew he was no match for Gu Zhi, he still chose to raise his weapon against him!
"Second Soul Skill! Vajra Fist!"
This attack was aimed directly at Gu Zhi. In his eyes, Gu Zhi was still a support-type Soul Master. As long as he could defeat Gu Zhi, taking down Zhu Zhuqing afterward would be easy.
But he still did not understand how terrifying Gu Zhi was. Zhu Zhuqing was ten levels weaker in Soul Power, yet Gu Zhi could still carry her with ease. One could only imagine what a terrifying existence Gu Zhi himself was.
As the man charged in to kill him, Gu Zhi did not retreat this time. With a wave of his hand, the ground beneath the man's feet abruptly rose several meters, transforming into a giant foot that kicked him away like a stray dog by the roadside.
"What just happened?"
When the man climbed back to his feet, he was completely dumbfounded. That can't be Gu Zhi's Soul Skill, can it? Then Gu Zhi snapped his fingers, and a bolt of lightning struck him out of thin air!
"This is absurd! Gu Zhi's attack methods never stop feeling fresh!"
"Even if he pulled out a Rasengan next second, it wouldn't feel out of place! He really can make anything happen!"
"Bro! Give us a Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect! I love the big spectacles!"
"That's a great suggestion! Author, when in doubt, start cultivating immortality!"
"Hurry up and get to Sword, Come! I want to see Sword, Come!"
The comments exploded completely. Following one person's remark, the entire screen was filled with the words "Sword, Come!"
"Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect... Sword, Come... What an imposing sight!"
Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, who was still fighting earnestly, the other beauties watched the comments report the battle in real time without blinking. Their curiosity toward Gu Zhi only grew stronger, and they wished they could immediately appear at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City to witness Gu Zhi's combat prowess for themselves!
"Damn it! Zhuqing got the good stuff!"
Outside the arena, Ning Rongrong was so envious that drool nearly ran from the corner of her mouth. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could recruit Gu Zhi, they would be secure for a thousand years... no, for ten thousand years!
"Gu Zhi... are you really as miraculous as they say?"
Far away in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had been completely drawn in by the Gu Zhi described in the comments. How could such an outstanding talent be allowed to fall into someone else's hands?
He should belong to Spirit Hall. He should belong to her, Bibi Dong!
"Strongest Deity System... I wonder how much stronger it is than my Angel God? If you truly are as they say, then you should be the man of Qian Renxue!"
In Heaven Dou Imperial City, Qian Renxue, who was bathing, developed a strong interest in Gu Zhi. Unfortunately, she could not reveal her identity so freely. Otherwise, she would already have headed to Suotuo City to snatch him away.
"Is this Gu Zhi really that powerful? I wonder how he compares to Third Brother? Zhuqing seems to have already gotten in touch with him. I'll ask her properly when she returns..."
Having just parted with Tang San, Xiao Wu sat alone on a swing, seriously watching the comments drift past before her eyes. Though she was also deeply curious about Gu Zhi, Tang San was still more important to her at the moment.
"Someone invincible among those of the same rank? Hmph! I wonder if he can withstand my charms! Selling one's looks? What a low-level method!"
Having just finished cultivating, Hu Liena dealt with Yan's advances while plotting how to make Gu Zhi submit beneath her skirt.
"Gu Zhi... I wonder when we will meet..."
Even more beauties could only spy on Gu Zhi's situation through the comments' reports, secretly looking forward to the moment they would meet him.
The match continued. Gu Zhi showed his opponent no mercy, piling on the pressure. Forget helping his teammate—he was having trouble even standing up.
Zhu Zhuqing and her opponent had also reached a white-hot stage. As they searched for opportunities to unleash their Soul Skills, they traded blows in close combat.
What made her opponent incredibly frustrated was that no matter how his attacks landed, he simply could not directly break through Zhu Zhuqing's defenses. Later, she did not even bother pretending anymore, abandoning defense entirely to focus solely on offense.
"Kill!"
Their fists and feet collided once again. Zhu Zhuqing retreated three meters, while her opponent retreated half a step. Yet her opponent spat out a mouthful of foul blood, whereas Zhu Zhuqing remained perfectly unharmed.
"They're using their trump card!"
Knowing he could not continue struggling pointlessly, the opponent shouted to his teammate, preparing to go all out without regrets.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed that something was wrong. She pulled back slightly, then looked at Gu Zhi with concern, as though asking him with her eyes how they should deal with this.
Gu Zhi remained as calm as ever. He even wanted to see what other tricks his opponents could pull off. He deliberately let go of his own opponent, giving him the chance to break away and put on a performance.
"Third Soul Skill! Boar Charge!"
The Seven-Eight Duo fused together once more. Both of their third Soul Rings came from the same type of Soul Beast, and using their Third Soul Skills together actually increased their power even further.
With a furious roar from the two men, the phantom images of two Mountain Boar Kings, each as large as a small mountain, instantly took shape. They nearly filled the entire arena, then kicked off the ground and shot toward Gu Zhi and Zhu Zhuqing!
With such a heaven-shaking presence, not to mention Zhu Zhuqing, a twenty-seventh-level Soul Master, even a forty-seventh-level Soul Elder would have felt their heart tremble!
