Everyone heard the cracking sound very clearly.
This was the sound of a broken nose. It was incomparably ear-piercing. When the crowd heard this crisp sound, they felt their hair stand on end. What they saw was that as soon as the two of them started fighting, Long Chen rushed to Gongsun Wudi's back with a speed even faster than Gongsun Wudi. Then, he punched him in the face and broke his nose.
"What …"
Gongsun Wudi let out a blood-curdling scream as he was sent flying, rolling several times on the stage.
This scene caused those who saw the situation to feel their throats go dry, and silence reigned.
Who was Gongsun Wudi? He was one of the strongest cultivators in the Specter City below the age of fifty. He was very close to reaching the God Martial Arts Realm. With the Golden Wings of the Gongsun Clan's Patriarch, he could fight ten people at once. Gongsun Wudi had the record of fighting ten cultivators in the ninth level of the Sky Martial Arts Realm. With his Golden Wings of the Demonic Roc, no cultivator could stop him.
Not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of attacking power, Gongsun Wudi was also stronger than ordinary cultivators of the ninth layer of the Sky Martial Arts level. It was said that an ancestor of the God Martial Arts level in his clan had given his power to Gongsun Wudi through a secret treasure before he died, which allowed him to use Pure Qi ten times faster.
That should be the effect of the Five Divine Emperors.
However, the power of Gongsun Wudi's ancestor was more useful than the Five Divine Emperors. At least, Long Chen couldn't use the power of the Five Divine Emperors anymore, but Gongsun Wudi could.
The fact that Long Chen was able to defeat Gongsun Wudi at the beginning of the battle caused a huge reaction. The spectators were all stunned.
"He sent Gongsun Wudi flying with one punch."
"Long Chen is indeed someone who can sit next to Lord Ye Xuan. He's so strong."
Some people were more clear-headed and said, "Don't be too proud. Gongsun Wudi is just a rival in love. He hasn't used his ancestor's power, the Golden Wings of the Demonic Roc, and many other skills. If he used them, Long Chen wouldn't be a match for him."
Although Song Yang and Song Yuchun were very surprised by Long Chen's heaven-defying performance, they actually felt the same way. Long Chen's performance just now was because his opponents had underestimated him, which was why he had been able to gain the upper hand.
However, it was all within Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan's expectations.
"Sister, see? I told you, Long Chen is really strong. He can defeat a cultivator of the second layer of the God Martial Arts."
Ye Xuan actually admired Long Chen a little. When he told Ye Xuan about it, he felt like he was showing off.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "We'll see how he performs next."
By the time she finished speaking, Gongsun Wudi had already climbed up from the arena. At this moment, his expression was completely different from his previous contented expression. It could be seen that the bridge of his nose was crooked to one side, and two streams of blood flowed from his nasal cavity. His face was extremely gloomy and his eyes had completely turned blood-red after suffering such a terrible defeat at the beginning of the match.
This was probably the heaviest humiliation he had ever received in his life.
"Long Chen, I'm going to tear you apart!"
Gongsun Wudi clenched his fists tightly and roared. At this moment, more than half of the one hundred battles had ended. In some of the battlefields, the second battle had already started. The first day was a fast battle, so there would be a big gap between the strong and the weak.
"Just use your strongest skills, so that you don't waste my time."
With a flash of golden light, Long Chen's body instantly appeared before Gongsun Wudi. He threw a punch at Gongsun Wudi's chest, which turned into a golden ray of light.
"So fast!"
This time, Gongsun Wudi saw it clearly. Long Chen was also good at speed. In a hurry, Gongsun Wudi could only use his arms to block Long Chen's punch, but the huge force still sent him flying.
"What a powerful force."
Gongsun Wudi had to admit that Long Chen was an expert that was very difficult to deal with.
Before, he had indeed looked down on Long Chen, but now he realized that looking down on Long Chen would make him pay a heavy price.
"My son, go all out!"
In the distance, one of the men from the Gongsun Clan saw how strong Long Chen was, and he quickly shouted to Gongsun Wudi from afar.
"Even my father is wrong. That's right. It's really exciting to meet an opponent like you in the first round." Although Gongsun Wudi's nose was injured, he was smiling excitedly.
After saying that, Gongsun Wudi clenched his fists. On the middle finger of his left hand, there was a dark golden ring. At that moment, golden power was flowing out of the ring and continuously flowing into Gongsun Wudi's ring. Gongsun Wudi's pure Qi was originally at the peak of the ninth Heaven Martial Realm, and at that moment, it kept rising. It had reached the peak of the ninth Heaven Martial Realm, close to the level of the God Martial Realm.
That was the power that the ancestors of the Gongsun Clan had left to Gongsun Wudi. Only cultivators of the God Martial Realm could pour their power into secret treasures, such as the dark golden ring and the Five Emperor Seals of Long Chen.
Back in the Shenwu Dynasty, the Martial Emperor's Bloodline had a Martial Emperor's ring that could display the effect of the Martial Emperor's possession. Actually, the principle behind it was different. That was considered a trick that required a lot of effort, but the effect wasn't great.
Long Chen, of course, sensed that Gongsun Wudi's strength had increased. Gongsun Wudi's pure Qi was already stronger than his, and now, it was even stronger.
And that wasn't the end. After the ancestor's power entered Gongsun Wudi's body, his eyes suddenly turned dark golden. A shadow of a golden roc appeared on his body, and eventually gathered behind him, forming a pair of golden wings on his back.
Buzz.
The golden wings flapped and an earth-shattering force immediately surged towards Long Chen. The entire arena trembled slightly as the wind blew on it.
That was Gongsun Wudi's most powerful state. Back then, Gongsun Wudi had used that state to kill ten cultivators of the ninth Heaven Martial Realm.
Gongsun Wudi, who had been suppressed by Long Chen, turned the tables in an instant.
"Gongsun Wudi now can even resist the experts of the God Martial Realm in front of him. Moreover, with the Demon Roc Golden Wings, Long Chen doesn't have an advantage in speed anymore."
The people outside the arena were talking about it.
The battle was once again full of suspense.
"It's over."
Gongsun Wudi chuckled. The golden wings on his back fluttered slightly, and suddenly, sand and stones were flying. He turned into a golden light that was faster than Long Chen, and in an instant, he was in front of Long Chen.
It was too fast. The crowd was in an uproar.
"Here you go."
Gongsun Wudi punched at Long Chen's chest. Just like what Long Chen had done, his strength, combined with the strength of his ancestors, made the punch much stronger than Long Chen's. A strong pressure shook towards Long Chen.
Gongsun Wudi's speed was faster than Long Chen's, and he was going to take revenge on Long Chen in the same way.
However, when the crowd thought that Long Chen was going to lose, Long Chen's face was frighteningly calm. Gongsun Wudi's punch hit his chest, but Gongsun Wudi was stunned, because he found that he had hit nothing but an afterimage of Long Chen.
"You're still too slow."
Behind him, Long Chen's faint voice sounded. Gongsun Wudi turned his head in shock. A huge golden fist had landed on his lower abdomen. The pain was so intense that Gongsun Wudi almost vomited the food he had eaten the night before.
"Break!"
Gongsun Wudi spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying again. He rolled on the ground a few times, and this time, his injury was even more serious. It could be said that he had lost at least a part of his fighting capacity.
This time, the crowd was in an even louder uproar. Almost everyone's attention was drawn to Long Chen.
"How is this possible? Gongsun Wudi used his wings, but his speed is still slower than Long Chen's."
"Has Long Chen's speed reached the Full Circle of the Divine Martial Realm?"
"That's terrifying. Even the wings can't keep up with his speed. How can he have such a strong advantage in speed?"
Even the members of the Gongsun Clan couldn't accept this result. Their strongest point was their speed, which they were proud of. However, Long Chen had easily defeated a very talented youngster in their clan in this aspect of speed.
A feeling of defeat rose in the hearts of the crowd.
On the grandstand, Ye Xuan also had a look of approval on her face.
From the beginning, Long Chen had been suppressing Gongsun Wudi, and there was no doubt about the outcome.
"Huh."
Gongsun Wudi endured the pain and forced himself to stand up. His eyes had turned red.
"Good, very good. You are the first person to beat me in speed. You are qualified for me to use this move on you."
At this moment, the disdainful and sympathetic looks from the crowd had aroused the anger in Gongsun Wudi's heart. His strength burst out, and his golden wings flapped. A powerful aura burst out from his body and swept towards Long Chen.
"Second grade divine skill, Demonic Peng Golden Wings, Six Dao Reversal."
He used a second grade divine skill. It seemed that Gongsun Wudi was indeed talented.
The image of the divine bird appeared on his back again. The golden wings were burning like flames. As Gongsun Wudi threw out a punch, the Demonic Peng Golden Wings merged together with his punch, forming millions of golden blades. They rotated and formed a drilling force that rumbled towards Long Chen.
This second grade divine skill was the unique skill of the Gongsun Clan. It was within Long Chen's expectations that it could produce such power.
The attack speed of the second grade divine skill was even faster than Gongsun Wudi's own movement speed.
