Chapter 254

"Damn that stinky monkey!"

Somewhere outside the True Martial Arts Academy, an old man in a black robe was strangely pale. He was furious.

"I didn't expect Chen Gu to be so lucky. Before the Old Man could make a move, Monkey Sun has already messed up his plan!"

"There are too many experts in the True Martial Arts Academy. Even if the Old Man enters, he might not be able to defeat Monkey Sun. Moreover, there are others!"

Underworld God Guard Jia Lan gnashed his teeth in hatred. His Divine Sense Clone had been destroyed, and he had also suffered some injuries. Most importantly, his plan to kill Chen Gu had failed because of this.

"That young man must be alert now. It's not easy to lure him out in a short period of time. I have to think of another way."

Jia Lan's expression was uncertain.

After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh yeah, it should be the big event between the two academies in a month. The sacrificial son of the Mystic Spell Academy should be here!

"I'll invite him to a meal, and he should be able to lure Chen Gu out of the True Martial Arts Academy!

"After a month, his alertness will definitely be greatly reduced. By then, the risk of the Old Man killing him will be minimized."

Jia Lan thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible. Instead of taking the risk to enter the True Martial Arts Academy, it would be better to let the enemy live for another month.

A month would pass in the blink of an eye for him.

"I'll let you live for another month. By then, the Old Man will definitely tear you into pieces!"

Jia Lan gritted his teeth and then strode away.

…

Ever since he knew that there was an immortal-level king who wanted to kill him, Gu Chen was even more diligent in his cultivation.

Every day, he would go to the Qixia Spring to cultivate. Under his hard work, the precious pills he bought from the Merit Workshop were being consumed at an extremely shocking speed.

In the True Martial Arts Academy, Gu Chen was not the only one who was diligent in his cultivation. The thousands of springs in the Qixia Spring were filled with students cultivating almost every day.

It was the same for other good secret cultivation places in the academy.

A positive atmosphere pervaded the entire True Martial Academy. Gu Chen would occasionally hear the students talking about something like a grand event, a competition between geniuses, and so on.

He quickly inquired and found out that the students of the Mystic Arts College would come over soon to exchange pointers with the students of the True Martial College.

And this was called the Wind and Cloud Gathering.

As the two great academies of the Middle Earth Empire, the True Martial Academy and the Mystic Arts Academy had always been the cradle of powerhouses on the continent.

Most of the experts on the Nine States' Reputation List were from or had studied in these two academies.

Every year, the two academies would take turns to host a grand event, and every time, many geniuses would emerge, attracting countless forces to attend the event.

Because of this, the students of the academy saw the Wind and Cloud Gathering as a great opportunity to make a name for themselves.

It was said that the Huangfu Clan's Huangfu Qingming had once studied in the Mystic Arts Academy. His name had shaken the Nine Provinces during the Wind and Cloud Gathering, and he was publicly acclaimed as a genius.

As for the Monster King Sun Jinming, he made a name for himself in the Storm Gathering a year ago, and from then on, he entered the Nine States Storm Ranking.

The influence of the Wind and Cloud Gathering was so great that it was no wonder that all the students worked hard to cultivate in the remaining month, wanting to stand out.

Gu Chen was very interested in the scene of the geniuses competing with each other, and he was even a little eager to try it out.

This was a great opportunity to test himself. Competing with the best among his peers might stimulate him to improve further.

Unfortunately, he was not a student, and now that he was facing a crisis, he might not have the chance to compete with the so-called geniuses.

He simply did not think about it, and just silently cultivated, rushing between the Sunset Perch Spring and the library every day.

Half a month before the Wind and Cloud Gathering, Gu Chen changed his routine for the first time, and went to a remote area behind the mountain of the True Martial Academy.

This place was deserted, and he was actually taking a risk by coming here, as there was a possibility that Jia Lan would seize the opportunity.

But in this half a month, with the help of the rainbow tree, he had finally made a crucial breakthrough in his understanding of the Rhythm of Death Fist, and he needed a place with no one around to experiment.

Surrounded by disorderly mountain rocks, Gu Chen stood in the air and took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, and the aura in his body was completely restrained.

The mountain forest was silent, and only the sound of the wind was heard.

Thump thump. Thump thump.

Not long after, a drum-like sound came from within Gu Chen's body.

That was the trembling of his internal organs, with his heart as the center, producing a high-frequency rhythm.

This rhythm was extremely unique, and it seemed to be able to affect the surrounding environment. As his heart beat, the surrounding flowers and grass swayed along with it.

Gu Chen seemed to have fused with all the sounds in the world. The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, the sound of the rustling trees, all intertwined together to form a beautiful melody.

When all the sounds were harmonious, Gu Chen's left hand clenched into a fist, and a monstrous Blood Qi rippled all over his body!

Like the sound of a horn, Gu Chen's left fist punched through the air, surpassing the speed of sound!

This punch had the ferocity and speed of when he broke the sound barrier with his body to defeat He Fangzheng that night, and the sound of a powerful army exploded!

"Bo ~ ~ ~"

An invisible and terrifying sound wave spread out with Gu Chen's fist as the center, and all the surrounding mountain rocks were crushed into powder in an instant!

And his fist light instantly traversed thousands of feet, and exploded on a distant mountain wall!

Boom —

The earth shook and the mountains shook!

In the distance, the core area of True Martial Academy produced a strong tremor!

For a moment, many students and teachers were alarmed, and some busybodies quickly rushed to this remote area.

"This Super Stress Killing Fist, I have finally mastered it."

Smoke and dust filled the air around Gu Chen, but he happily muttered to himself.

After all, He Fangzheng's Rhythm Killing Fist was created with his special physical conditions, and it was not suitable for Gu Chen.

Therefore, after Gu Chen comprehended it, he simplified it, and combined it with his strong physique to create this Super Stress Killing Fist.

This fist was extremely lethal, and it perfectly combined with his Immortal Golden Body, and also completely displayed the horror of the sound wave.

There was a commotion in the distance, and a large number of figures broke through the air and came.

Gu Chen did not want to be surrounded, and he did not want to attract attention, so he immediately used the Stars and Moon Stride and quickly left this area.

When many students arrived, they could not find the initiator of the earthquake, and for a moment, they looked at each other in dismay.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, they saw the surrounding environment clearly, and they all gasped.

This area was originally a mining area, so the rocks were extremely hard, and ordinary spells could not damage it at all.

However, at this moment, the messy mountain rocks that originally existed in the surroundings had all disappeared, and their vision became empty.

They all turned into stone powder, and the ground was covered with it.

The most shocking thing was a mountain wall in the distance, where there was a fist print hundreds of feet in size, deeply sunken into the mountain wall.

The fist print was solid and heavy, and it revealed a shocking murderous aura.

It was as if a giant had punched this place, causing such a huge commotion!

"Was it done by a student of the Demon Tribe?"

"It should be, right?"

The group of students was inexplicably shocked!
