Chapter 174
Before Gu Chen, the Celestial Court had thirty-five Prospective Daoists, each of whom possessed a special constitution.
They had already made a name for themselves at a young age and had grown up bathed in countless dazzling halos.
For them, besides being a symbol of status, the Prospective Daoists were also a social circle. Only those with similar talents were qualified to be accepted into this circle.
"Those guys have their eyes on the top of their heads. Hmph, Chen Gu, you don't know this, but they view those without special constitutions the same way cultivators view mortals."
Xu Huahua had come to tip off Gu Chen, telling him to be careful of the Prospective Daoists.
"I understand."
Gu Chen understood Xu Huahua's intention, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "I don't have a special constitution. This is something that can't be changed. Since I'm already here, I'll just take things as they come. If they really want to cause trouble for me, then I'll take them on. "
"Don't worry, I'll be on your side."
Xu Huahua said righteously.
"Looks like you don't get along well with them in the Heavenly Palace?"
Gu Chen teased.
"They're all a bunch of conceited guys who bully me because I'm young. When my cultivation level increases, I'll definitely kill them! "
Xu Huahua said fiercely, not changing her she-devil nature.
After passing through many buildings, the Numinous Sky Hall was right in front of them.
At this moment, the Azure Qilin Killing God, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and his eyes flashed.
"I have some matters to attend to. You guys can enter the Numinous Sky Hall by yourselves. Chen Gu, someone will hold a ceremony for you later. "
With that, he left.
Gu Chen and Xu Huahua entered the Numinous Sky Hall together. As soon as they entered the main hall, dozens of eyes fell on them!
At this moment, the other thirty-four Prospective Daoists were already inside the main hall.
They all wore the standard white robes of the Celestial Court, but there were three golden patterns embroidered on the shoulders of the white robes.
The Prospective Daoists had a special status in the Celestial Court, and their equipment was also different from that of ordinary assassins.
Apart from the golden patterns on the white robes, their masks were not divided into bronze, silver, or gold, but a uniform dark purple.
Since they were in the Heavenly Palace, most of the Prospective Daoists did not wear masks, revealing their extremely young faces.
The oldest among them was only in his early twenties, while the youngest was about the same age as Gu Chen.
Everyone's gaze fell on the two people who had stepped into the Lingxiao Hall. They quickly swept past Xu Huahua and focused on Gu Chen.
Under everyone's gaze, Gu Chen's expression was calm.
Among his peers, the most talented one he knew was Ye Qingshuang, who had the Martial Sage Body.
Looking at them now, there was nothing special about this group of people.
Everyone looked at Gu Chen, and Gu Chen looked at everyone. He didn't greet anyone first, and the atmosphere was unusually awkward.
"Hmph! You're the newly advanced Quasi-Dao Child, Chen Gu? Don't you know how to take the initiative to introduce yourself when you see your seniors? "
A stocky young man was the first to break the silence.
Gu Chen glanced at him coldly and walked into the crowd unhurriedly.
"You and I are both Prospective Daoists of the Celestial Court, so we're of the same generation. Where are these seniors from? I don't see them."
He spoke bluntly. Since he already knew from Xu Huahua that this group of people wanted to cause trouble for him, why should he stick his warm face to a cold butt?
Moreover, the relationship between Prospective Daoists was one of competition. Everyone wanted to become a Daoist, so there was no reason for them to love each other!
Seeing that Gu Chen was calm and unruffled, without the slightest nervousness or unnaturalness, and even putting himself on the same level as them, many of the Prospective Daoists revealed surprised expressions.
They had heard that this person didn't even have a special physique, so they thought that he would be ashamed of his inferiority when he saw them. They didn't expect that he was also a madman.
"Brother Chen is right."
A Prospective Daoist stepped out from the crowd. He had red lips and white teeth, and looked like a scholar who didn't have the strength to truss a chicken.
He revealed a harmless smile and walked in front of Gu Chen in a few steps.
"Congratulations on becoming a Prospective Daoist, Brother Chen. My name is Hua Zhengfei."
He stretched out a hand, looking natural and unrestrained, and sincerely congratulated Chen Changsheng.
Seeing his action, many of the Prospective Daoists revealed strange smiles, as if they were watching a show.
"Chen Gu, don't be fooled by him. He wants to play tricks on you …"
Seeing this, Xu Huahua immediately wanted to remind him, but Gu Chen had already stretched out his hand, and their left and right hands clasped together.
Bang.
A terrifying force immediately came from Hua Zhengfei's hand. He was born with red lips and white teeth, but no one expected him to have such terrifying strength!
Gu Chen's palm was clenched red for a moment, and many of the Prospective Daoists cast sympathetic gazes at him.
"This pitiful newcomer. Hua Zhengfei has the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Physique. Although his strength isn't the greatest among us, he has still reached a terrifying level of 255,555 kilograms."
"He has always been the most sinister one. He pretends to be harmless, but when you're caught off guard, he'll bite you."
Hua Zhengfei looked at Gu Chen in front of him, and the strength in his hand slowly increased. He liked to see others unable to endure the intense pain.
However, he was disappointed. He discovered that he had only used 15% of his strength, but Gu Chen was still calmly looking at him.
"En?"
His eyes turned cold, and the strength in his hand immediately increased.
Crack, crack.
The strength in his grip could easily deform a piece of darksteel, but when he held onto Gu Chen's hand, he didn't have much of a reaction.
Hua Zhengfei's heart trembled slightly, and then he heard Gu Chen speak.
"Brother Hua, what are you doing? You can't bear to let go of my hand? "
Gu Chen looked at him mockingly, "Since that's the case, then let's hold it for a while longer."
Bang —
A violent force suddenly exploded from Gu Chen's palm, and Hua Zhengfei's expression instantly changed!
He wanted to pull his hand back, but Gu Chen's hand was like a pair of pliers that tightly gripped onto him!
A heart-wrenching pain immediately followed, and he felt as if the bones in his hand were about to be crushed!
"Let go! Let go! "
He shouted angrily, but Gu Chen didn't react. One of his hands was firm, and he slowly increased his strength.
Hua Zhengfei's face quickly turned red, and his eyes were spewing fire as he stared at Gu Chen.
"What's going on? Something is wrong with Hua Zhengfei. "
The contest of strength between the two was limited to their palms, so the crowd couldn't see the turbulent undercurrent, but they quickly saw Hua Zhengfei's abnormality.
"Chen Gu, let go!"
Hua Zhengfei suddenly exploded. Seeing that he couldn't break free from Gu Chen, a spirit flame tail actually emerged from his back!
Boom!
Monstrous energy surged, and the tail whipped through the air!
Gu Chen frowned, and he took a step back, avoiding the attack, but his hand also helplessly let go.
Hua Zhengfei immediately pulled his hand back, and everyone could clearly see that in that short moment, his hand was actually distorted and swollen red!
"Brother Hua, why are you so angry? You even revealed your fox's tail."
Gu Chen teased. One of his hands was unharmed, and at most it was a little red. The difference in strength between the two was obvious.
Hua Zhengfei's expression was ugly. He didn't expect that he would be the one being tricked instead. The other party's strength was much greater than his!
