Chapter 283

Yao Yufei, Hong Taiyi, and the other geniuses looked at Qi Zeyan expectantly.

If Chen Gu lost the Emperor's Reward, Qi Zeyan would be the one most likely to get it.

He was the champion of this year's event, and the glory should have belonged to him. Now that it was snatched away by someone else, he would never speak up for Chen Gu!

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Qi Zeyan's stiff face did not change much.

"I don't know what answer you all want to hear from me, but personally, I think the Emperor's Reward was given to the right person."

As soon as Qi Zeyan said this, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Brother Qi, are you out of your mind?"

Yao Yufei, Hong Taiyi, and the others were anxious. Did this Sword Maniac speak without thinking?!

"Give the Emperor's Reward to Chen Gu. I don't know how big the reward is, but it should be enough to help him break through to the Immortal King Realm, right?

"Ever since the battle with him, every battle in the event has been boring to me. I look forward to him breaking through to the Immortal King Realm and fighting me head-on."

Qi Zeyan's words made many geniuses embarrassed, and the audience gasped. Then, their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

"As expected of the Sword Dao genius of the South Flower Sacred Ground! He's honest and upright, and he only seeks a powerful opponent! "

"Ahhh, Qi Zeyan is so handsome. I'm falling in love with him!"

Even the champion of the event did not deny Chen Gu's talent. This almost made the final decision, rendering Yao Yufei, Hong Taiyi, and the others speechless. They could not refute him at all.

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Shen Xudong's old face.

"It seems that no one has any objections. In that case, the winner of the Emperor's Reward is decided."

This time, no one said anything, but another question popped up.

"The Emperor's Reward is said to be for Chen Gu, but where is he? He hasn't appeared for a few days. "

"He's an assassin from the Celestial Court. He probably doesn't want to expose himself in front of others and is afraid of being hunted down."

"Hehe, the Imperial Family promised to reward him, so how could they harm him? Wouldn't they be going back on their word and losing all credibility? If I were him, I wouldn't miss such a great benefit! "

Everyone was discussing spiritedly. They were all curious as to whether Chen Gu would come forward to accept the Emperor's reward.

At this moment, Crown Prince Ji Zefang opened his mouth, and his voice reverberated throughout the hall.

"Chen Gu, I'm guessing you're at the scene. Please show yourself. In the name of the Central Plains' royal family, I guarantee that no one here will harm you today. "

There was a trace of anticipation in the depths of his eyes.

Originally, the Imperial Preceptor could have been in charge of the awarding of the Imperial Gifts. However, after hearing news of this person in Luoyang and receiving guidance from an expert, he decided to attend the ceremony personally.

The rewards involved in the Imperial Gifts were extraordinary. There was actually a deeper meaning behind his decision to award the Imperial Gift to Chen Gu, whom he had never met before.

Since the Crown Prince had already spoken, and as the saying goes, the words of an emperor must not be taken lightly. This meant that Chen Gu didn't have to worry about his identity as an assassin. Even if he appeared here, no one would cause trouble for him.

A large number of spectators waited expectantly, holding their breaths. However, ten breaths had passed, but Chen Gu still hadn't appeared.

Ji Zefang felt slightly awkward, and he repeated his question.

Unfortunately, Chen Gu still didn't respond. It was as if he wasn't at the scene.

This was unbelievable. Judging from the commotion he had caused in True Martial Academy over the past few days, he shouldn't have missed today's finals!

"Looks like Chen Gu doesn't even have the courage to show his face. The Imperial Family can save the reward."

Yao Yufei, Hong Taiyi, and the others sneered. If Chen Gu dared to show his face, they wouldn't rule out making things difficult for him.

At the very least, they would slap his face in front of everyone's eyes, and let everyone know that his talent was just so-so!

The Crown Prince invited several times, but no one responded. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If no one accepted the reward, what should he do?

At this time, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and heavy dark clouds gathered.

"Ah? Why did the sky suddenly become so dark? Looks like it's going to rain and thunder. "

The entire audience raised their heads in surprise. Previously, the sky had been clear for thousands of miles. No one knew when it started, but the sky was covered with haze, making people feel heavy.

Rumble! Rumble!

Thunder rumbled in the distance. The audience noticed that all the dark clouds were gathering in one direction, as if thousands of horses were galloping.

And in that direction, there were streaks of green lightning that connected the sky and the earth, as if they were going to crush the earth!

"What's going on? Why is there such a strange phenomenon for no reason? "

That place was no more than ten miles away, so the strange phenomenon looked like it was right in front of them. Some people's souls trembled.

"That is … could it be …"

Many big shots in the VIP seats looked in that direction, feeling the extreme turbulence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Their expressions changed several times, and they thought of a possibility.

"Teacher, could it be …"

The Crown Prince's attention was also drawn in that direction. He took a deep breath, unable to conceal the shock on his face.

"The Old Man has only experienced this kind of majestic aura a few times in his life. It can't be wrong!"

Shen Xudong nodded solemnly.

"Let's go and have a look!"

The big shots in the VIP seats looked at each other, and then, led by the Crown Prince and the Grand Master, flew up into the sky, and flew towards the center of the thunderstorm!

The audience in the square was also in an uproar. The phenomenon in front of them was too extraordinary. Even if they didn't know what was going on, they knew that they couldn't miss it!

In the sky above the Valiant Academy, there were many rainbows, as dense as ants, and they flew dozens of miles away!

And at this moment, at the source of such a shocking phenomenon.

Gu Chen's body was emitting boundless golden light, and every bit of his flesh and blood was shining brightly, as magnificent as a ruby.

He had already restored his true appearance, and his delicate face was like dots of paint. At first glance, it gave people the feeling of looking at the stars in the cold night.

His body was filled with explosive power, and in his Dantian, the extreme golden ocean had already disappeared, turning into a Golden Elixir, floating around the Origin of All Beings.

And around his body, minced meat and black blood could be seen everywhere. That was the old skin that had been shed from his body in the past few days, and it had been reborn.

He had made a breakthrough, and in the harsh battle, and under hard training, he had finally broken the shackles that bound him to the Monarch Realm, and stepped into the realm of immortality!

But he didn't have the time to be happy, because when he broke the shackles in his body, he felt a deep malice that came from this world!

He stood up, formed a sword with one of his fingers, and cut the mountain peak that he was resting on, and flew out of the cave!

Looking at the countless lightning bolts in the sky, Gu Chen's black hair danced in the wind, and a cold light shot out from his eyes.

The Mighty Heavenly Bone in his body was shouting, and it released waves of aura that flowed through his body.

That was a domineering will that wanted to go against the heavens, unyielding and inextinguishable!
