Chapter 570

Gu Chen came down from the stage and returned to a corner to sit down. He silently adjusted his condition in order to prepare for the next match.

At this moment, all the Gu Clan disciples looked at him differently.

After defeating this year's popular champion, even Tyrannical Grand Ambition was unable to subdue him, Gu Chen had become mysterious and powerful in their eyes.

Many of the young disciples revealed reverence in their eyes, no longer daring to look down on him!

The competition continued, unfolding like a raging fire.

Many young disciples struggled on the stage, but many of the spectators were astonished to find that after watching the brilliant, twists and turns of the previous battles, the following battles actually became dull and uninteresting.

None of the battles could reach the heights of the battle between Gu Chen and Gu Qingshi. The battle between Heaven and Earth Aspect and Tyrannical Grand Ambition was spectacular.

Very soon, all the Gu Clan disciples finished their first battle. The victors advanced, while the losers would continue fighting with the losers until they advanced or were eliminated.

An elder of the Gu Clan stepped forward and placed the tokens of those who had advanced together, beginning the second round of drawing lots.

Many victors stepped forward in order to draw lots. When it was Gu Chen's turn, he once again caused a sensation.

Because the command token he'd drawn shockingly had the words' Gu Ziyan 'written on it!

"His luck is simply too good." Gu Lianyue giggled. Many of the other Gu Clan elders also had strange expressions.

The first match against Gu Qingshi, the second against Gu Ziyan. Was this Gu Chen planning on taking care of this year's popular champion in the preliminaries?

At this moment, no one thought that Gu Chen's luck was bad because his strength had already been recognized. This battle was destined to be a fierce struggle!

The victors all drew lots to choose their opponents. When it was the losers' turn to draw lots, as long as they passed the next five trials, they would still have a chance to enter the top three, but it would be a bit more difficult.

Most of the people who didn't have a good start in the first round were in the same state. They gloomily went up to draw lots. Only when they drew a slightly weaker opponent would their faces reveal a bit of a smile.

When it was Gu Qingshi's turn to go up, the elder who had helped him down to heal shook his head.

Gu Qingshi forfeited!

For a moment, the whole audience sighed incessantly. The experts who were supposed to be among the top few in this year's Clan Gathering were unexpectedly defeated in the first round, and they were even seriously injured to the point that they were unable to continue the competition, completely losing the opportunity to enter the top three!

This was a huge loss for Gu Qingshi, but a huge opportunity for the others!

"There's nothing interesting to see in this year's clan gathering martial arts competition."

Seeing that Gu Qingshi had given up, Gu Zhaixing got up coldly and left the martial arts field directly.

All the disciples who participated in the clan meeting were not worthy of his attention. Even when Gu Chen revealed his strange Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, he was only surprised at first, but he did not think much of it.

Gu Yuanshan did not stop him, only staring at Gu Chen in the distance with a gloomy expression.

The second round of the competition began, and almost everyone's focus was on the battle between Gu Chen and Gu Ziyan.

One was this year's biggest dark horse, and the other was a woman who was second only to Gu Lianyue in the younger generation. The strength of the two was obvious to all, and the intensity of the battle was definitely no less than the previous battle between Gu Chen and Gu Qingshi.

The elders of the Gu Clan were especially looking forward to it. After Gu Chen defeated Gu Qingshi, they had been whispering to each other, discussing nothing but the problem of Gu Chen's Dharma Idol.

They had never heard of that kind of Dharma Idol, so they were very interested, hoping to see more of his magic in the next battle.

Not long after, Gu Chen and Gu Ziyan went up to the arena. The two were separated by ten feet, and the battle was about to start.

At this time, Gu Ziyan suddenly opened her mouth with a smile. "I give up."

That pleasant voice spread throughout the audience, making everyone stunned, even Gu Chen showed a look of surprise.

"Ziyan, are you serious?" The elder in charge of the referee asked seriously.

Gu Ziyan nodded and bowed to Gu Chen. "Cousin Gu Chen's strength is outstanding, and I am ashamed of my inferiority. Instead of being exhausted like Cousin Qingshi and losing, it is better to save my strength."

After she said this, although there were still many people who did not understand, her reason was reasonable and made people speechless.

Thus, Gu Chen easily won this battle.

Gu Ziyan brushed past Gu Chen before leaving the arena, and Gu Chen transmitted his voice to her mind. "Why?"

Gu Ziyan's strength was not weak, Gu Chen could feel it.

With her strength, even if she could not defeat him, she could still create a lot of trouble for him. It would be a pity to give up just like that.

After all, this was only the second round of the competition. If she took the initiative to admit defeat in this battle and caused her to be unable to enter the top three, it would be too late for regrets.

"It is not wise to be an enemy of Cousin Gu Chen. It is better to do you a favor. In this way, I think Cousin Gu Chen will not easily refuse my request." Gu Ziyan answered very honestly.

"This favor is not much. What do you want me to do?" Gu Chen laughed involuntarily.

"Cousin Gu Chen, although you're confident, if I go all out, I'll definitely force you to use all your trump cards. I think you don't want to expose too much in front of others, so I'll consider this favor."

Gu Ziyan rolled her eyes at Gu Chen. "As for my request, we will discuss it after the clan meeting. Before that, I will do you another favor."

"What favor?"

"To help you deal with Gu Shenming."

Gu Ziyan finished speaking and left, while Gu Chen looked thoughtful.

Gu Shenming, like Gu Ziyan and Gu Qingshi, was one of the hot favorites to win this year's clan meeting.

What did Gu Ziyan mean by that? Could it be that she could make Gu Shenming admit defeat when he met her?

Because Gu Ziyan took the initiative to admit defeat, a large number of disciples of the Gu Clan felt it was a pity. They had thought that they would be able to see another exciting battle.

After that, Gu Chen went on stage many times, but he did not encounter opponents as strong as Gu Qingshi and Gu Ziyan. He won easily all the way, and no one could force him to use the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol.

This made many elders in the clan who were curious about the Eternal Freedom Dharma Idol anxious, until the finals.

After round after round of competition, the top three of this year's clan meeting were finally decided.

Gu Chen won every battle, and there was no doubt that he had a place in the top three.

In addition to him, Gu Shenming also won every battle, and his record was exactly the same.

Although Gu Ziyan lost to Gu Chen, she did not lose a single battle after that, and in the end, she also entered the top three.

In this way, the top three places were determined, and because Gu Ziyan had lost a battle, she could no longer compete for first place.

The honor of being the first in this year's clan meeting fell between Gu Chen and Gu Shenming!

The two of them ascended the arena respectively. As soon as they entered the arena, they received warm cheers.

After Gu Chen defeated many competitors in a row, he had completely washed away his weak impression in the eyes of the crowd.

In addition, he was tall and handsome, which attracted many girls in the clan, and they could not help but cheer for him.
