Only the One Who Laughs Last Is Truly Strong

"We've both reached the Saint King Realm."

When the Shen Clan finally sent out members who were no longer juniors at the Saint Realm, the crowd finally showed some interest.

There was little exchange between the two; the younger member of the Shen Clan simply introduced himself before the battle commenced.

Despite being at the Saint King Realm, everyone could clearly feel that this battle was much more intense than before.

Everyone's attention remained focused on Gu Chen.

"Wait a minute, I've been watching, but then it suddenly occurred to me that Gu Chen hasn't rested yet?" someone suddenly realized.

Those around them, upon hearing this, all showed expressions of surprise and said:

"You know what, it really is true; so much time has passed since those events started."

"Impressive stamina." Someone gave Gu Chen a deep look.

"Although there was such a gap in skill level before, after so many matches, they must have been quite exhausted. On the other hand, Gu Chen not only doesn't seem tired, but I think he's even more focused now."

"Perhaps this is the reason why the Withering and Flourishing Sect organized this gambling war," someone said, looking towards Du Niansheng.

"Now it seems that the Shen Clan's arrangement is actually helping the Withering and Flourishing Sect. If something unexpected happens, the Shen Clan will probably regret it to the core."

"That's not necessarily true." The other person shook their head.

"Shen Tianwen still possesses a certain level of skill. Gu Chen is strong now, but he's only capable of fighting against someone at the same level."

As the group chatted...

On the field, after the two figures collided once, one of them suddenly flew backward to the edge of the field.

The young man from the Shen Clan who took to the field was defeated.

The people present did not show much surprise at this.

After all, Liu Duanyuan made that assessment.

How could they possibly lose so easily?

"I just don't know how many games he can keep going."

Everyone is currently sharing a similar thought.

The battles on the field unfolded one after another, drawing the curiosity of the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, seventy battles have been fought.

The younger generation of the Shen Clan has already reached the Saint King Realm Second Layer.

Gu Chen, however, still showed no signs of defeat.

Many people now looked at Gu Chen with obvious admiration.

"To play so many matches without rest and still maintain such a high level of performance, never falling behind from start to finish—most of the younger generation probably couldn't do that."

"Even if Gu Chen loses this bet, his strength is undeniable. It's just a pity that if the Withering and Flourishing Sect loses, Gu Chen's future will likely not be much better."

"Given the current momentum, is it really possible to postpone the decisive battle to the 100th match?"

There has been much discussion and speculation from all sides.

Shen Tianxun observed the reactions of everyone on the field, and when he looked at Gu Chen, his gaze was slightly different.

"I thought that having reached this point, you would need external help to continue, but it seems you really do have some skills."

He didn't intervene; Gu Chen is still able to win based on his own strength.

Even he had to admit that Gu Chen was indeed exceptional.

"Too."

Shen Tianxun suddenly thought of something:

"If he weren't extraordinary, how could Du Niansheng have such courage?"

After saying that, Shen Tianxun gently shook his head.

Being strong now is one thing, but true strength lies in having the last laugh.

All of this now is merely a stepping stone to better reach the Wentian.

As time went by.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten games have passed.

On the field, Gu Chen was no longer as relaxed as he had been at the beginning.

However, the excitement in his eyes grew even stronger.

"I never expected to find such thrilling combat here."

Gu Chen thought to himself, vaguely understanding the system's deeper meaning.

Although, it's true that you can learn a lot of practical and useful things by sparring with Qin Li.

But his opponent was always Qin Li.

Furthermore, Qin Li has an abundance of experience in this area.

This makes the process of playing against each other always feel like a learning experience.

But it's different here.

The opponents kept changing, each person had different strengths, and their offensive strategies and methods varied greatly.

In such situations, a flexible approach is necessary.

In a sense, it is a constant push to apply what you have learned skillfully.

Of course, the most important thing is...

The opponent's strength has been steadily increasing.

The effect of this is...

The more they fought, the more focused and energetic they became.

Even the bloodline that was recently acquired seems to be becoming more and more compatible with the body in this process.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, World War I ended.

The sparring match has now reached its ninetieth round.

Off the field.

Du Niansheng looked at Gu Chen on the field, his throat moved, and finally he couldn't help but say:

"Truly worthy of being a disciple favored by Aptitude of a Great Emperor."

Beside him, Xiao Qian nodded in deep agreement:

"In these last few dozen matches, I've been at a disadvantage in terms of skill level, yet I've still managed to win every time. I could never have done that back then."

Du Niansheng smiled:

"Those who can do that are naturally very few and far between."

After speaking, Du Niansheng looked at Shen Wentian, who was calmly watching the scene.

"Right now, our opponents' cultivation levels are improving too slowly. The gap between the other younger members of the Shen Clan and Shen Wentian is huge, and that's when the real pressure will likely come."

In the 90th match, the Shen Clan's junior who came up was only at the Saint King Realm Third Layer.

Shen Wentian's cultivation level, however, had already reached the Saint King Realm Sixth Stage.

There's a gap of almost two minor realms.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking.

Du Niansheng wasn't too worried.

Right now, the Aptitude of a Great Emperor is present, and Liu Duanyuan is a witness to it.

To put it less honorably, whether we fight or not, the outcome might be the same.

After all, even a disciple with the Aptitude of a Great Emperor needs to be further gilded.

Unfortunately, Du Niansheng thought so...

However, he was unaware that Liu Duanyuan and Lu Changzhi were not actually very close.

However, we only met once.

"They've come, just as expected."

Liu Duanyuan's gaze fell on Lu Changzhi.

With his eyes slightly closed, the portrait he had received before leaving the room reappeared in his mind.

"However, judging from this position, they're also from the Withering and Flourishing Sect?"

Liu Duanyuan glanced around at the area where Lu Changzhi was located.

"No wonder you came."

With a thought to himself, Liu Duanyuan directly transmitted his voice to Lu Changzhi:

"Lu Changzhi?"

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi was surprised. He looked over and saw Liu Duanyuan looking at him. He immediately responded:

What brings you here, Senior Liu?

"I have something to discuss with you. Come here."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Lu Changzhi suddenly felt the scene before him change rapidly. The place where they were sparring disappeared, and he found himself in an empty space.

"Such ruthless methods."

Lu Changzhi felt a chill run down his spine; in a single thought, he had been transported to a completely different world.

"Senior Liu, what's this all about?"

Lu Changzhi looked at Liu Duanyuan's figure and asked a question.

Liu Duanyuan looked Lu Changzhi up and down and said:

"Young man, I can't see through you at all."
