The woman who walked out was none other than the woman inside the Martial God Spear!
She wore a pure white long skirt, as white as snow and spotless. Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, but her eyes carried cold indifference, without a trace of emotion.
Martial God!
Seeing the woman, Ye Guan was stunned. He had not expected this senior to appear here!
When she saw Ye Guan, the woman’s expression remained calm as water, without the slightest ripple in her eyes, as if she did not recognise him at all!
Noticing her gaze, Ye Guan immediately felt doubt and caution. He retreated a few steps.
When things looked bad, retreat first!
At that moment, the small tower’s voice suddenly rang in Ye Guan’s mind. “Little bastard, she is not the real body, nor is she a divine soul. She is a copy created by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s Martial Pavilion. She only has combat consciousness and no emotions whatsoever!”
Hearing this, Ye Guan’s expression immediately became grave!
Martial God!
This senior was a Martial God!
He had not expected the so-called Martial Pavilion of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion to have copied a Martial God here!
Fighting a Martial God?
Yet Ye Guan became excited. He loved that feeling of standing on the edge of death too much.
Because only on the brink of death could he maximise his potential, push himself to the limit, and even surpass his own limits.
No madness, no survival!
Ye Guan felt his blood starting to boil!
The small tower suddenly said, “Don’t get too excited too soon. Although her realm is suppressed, she still possesses the terrifying combat consciousness of a Martial God. And she has no emotions. She will really kill you, understand?”
Ye Guan nodded, his voice trembling slightly. “I understand! But I am still very excited. I can’t control myself! Tower Master, why is it that whenever I encounter killing or something thrilling, I feel I can’t control myself? Especially this blood in my body. It feels like it is about to awaken. Tower Master, I… does our family have some kind of hereditary disease?”
The small tower was speechless.
Hereditary disease my foot!
Your family has madness disease!
The small tower thought for a moment and then said, “What you have is simply mental overexcitement. Also, you have been single for too long! That kind of prolonged inability to… you know what I mean?”
The mysterious voice: “……”
Ye Guan was a bit confused.
What does this have to do with being single?
Damn it!
This Tower Master is fooling him again!
He has no idea who taught this Tower Master, but it is either deception or flashy nonsense, never serious!
Ye Guan took a deep breath. After a moment, he suppressed the excitement in his body. Then he looked at the Martial God, opened his palm, and the sword disappeared directly!
The small tower was puzzled. “What are you doing?”
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes slightly. “Taking a beating!”
The small tower was confused.
At that moment, the Martial God suddenly vanished from her spot.
Ye Guan’s pupils contracted sharply. An expert’s skill is obvious the moment they act. Her speed was truly terrifying, so fast that he could not even see her trajectory clearly!
Ye Guan suddenly raised his right hand to block horizontally!
Bang!
In an instant, Ye Guan’s feet scraped the ground as he retreated violently dozens of zhang. Before he could stop, a blur shot in front of him again. Ye Guan flashed to the right, but the next moment, just as he took flight, a hand grabbed his right ankle. Then Ye Guan felt himself slammed violently into intimate contact with the ground!
Bang!
The ground cracked open!
The sharp pain from his back instantly made Ye Guan frown!
But at that instant, the Martial God charged forward and kicked him in the abdomen!
Bang!
Ye Guan flew out instantly!
Her movements flowed smoothly like water, giving him no chance to counter at all!
Ye Guan flew dozens of zhang away and crashed heavily onto the ground. The moment he landed, the ground shattered beneath him. At the same time, several mouthfuls of essence blood sprayed from his mouth!
At that moment, the small tower hurriedly said, “Quick, draw your sword!”
Ye Guan ignored the small tower. The moment he landed, the Martial God rushed to him like a ghost and punched straight towards him. There was no fist glow or momentum, yet it gave him a terrifying sense of oppression, as if a hundred great mountains were crashing down, utterly horrifying.
Ye Guan watched the punch coming. His eyes narrowed. In that instant, hundreds of ways to respond flashed through his mind!
But!
In front of this punch, he had a feeling that she had sealed off all his possible responses!
One punch that blocked all his escape routes!
Helpless!
Ye Guan could only raise both arms to block again!
Bang!
In an instant, Ye Guan’s entire body flew backwards. The moment he was sent flying, the Martial God’s right hand grabbed his already cracked right arm, then yanked him down hard. Once again, he came into violent contact with the ground!
Bang!
Ye Guan was smashed into the ground. The ground cracked again. The intense pain twisted his face instantly. Yet it was not over. The moment he landed, the Martial God charged forward, kicked him in the abdomen again, and then his whole body arched as he flew out!
The instant he flew out, the female Martial God charged forward and punched straight at his face!
Feeling this terrifying punch coming, Ye Guan hurriedly raised both arms to block again!
Bang!
With a muffled sound echoing, Ye Guan flew a hundred zhang away and crashed heavily onto the ground. The moment he landed, a mouthful of essence blood sprayed from his mouth.
The small tower said anxiously, “Quick, draw your sword! If you don’t draw your sword, you…”
At that moment, the mysterious voice suddenly said, “He is learning!”
The small tower froze.
The mysterious voice said softly, “Even if he draws his sword now, he cannot be a match for this Martial God consciousness. Just watch! When he finally draws his sword, there might be a surprise!”
The small tower said no more.
After landing on the ground, the Martial God charged over again. At that moment, Ye Guan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly slapped the ground hard with his right hand. His whole body sprang up. This time, he did not choose to retreat or dodge. Instead, he punched out directly!
Head-on clash!
Crack!
The moment their fists met, Ye Guan’s entire right arm shattered instantly. Then his whole body flew backwards. At that instant, the Martial God’s right hand grabbed Ye Guan’s already cracked right arm, yanked him fiercely towards herself, and at the same time drove a knee forward. But at that exact moment, from the palm of the right hand the Martial God was holding, a sword suddenly stabbed out!
He drew his sword!
Because the Martial God had pulled Ye Guan towards herself, the moment he drew the sword, her pulling force added to it. The speed of this sword reached the absolute extreme!
Bang!
Chi!
Ye Guan flew a hundred zhang away. When he landed on the ground, his entire physical body cracked completely open. Blood instantly dyed his clothes red!
However, in the distance, the Martial God stopped in place!
Because a sword had pierced the centre of her brow!
Trading injury for life!
The Martial God stood there and gradually became illusory. Soon, she disappeared completely.
Ye Guan lay on the ground. He swallowed a pill, then slowly closed his eyes!
At this moment, he felt as if his whole body had fallen apart!
The small tower suddenly said, “You didn’t draw your sword from the beginning just to wait for this moment?”
Ye Guan said softly, “My strength is definitely inferior to hers. If I had drawn my sword from the start, I would never have been able to win! Because once she knew my sword speed, I would have no chance left. Therefore, I could only choose to take the beating, familiarise myself with her patterns, and then strike at the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow. I only had one chance to strike!”
The small tower fell silent.
Ye Guan continued, “Her combat consciousness, power, and speed completely crush me. I could only show weakness, lower her guard, then catch her off guard and strike later. Otherwise, I am simply not her opponent!”
As he spoke, he said softly, “When facing someone far stronger than us, showing weakness and then acting after careful planning is the best choice.”
The small tower sighed softly!
It knew that if Ye Guan had drawn his sword from the beginning, he truly would have had no chance!
Head-on clash?
Completely impossible!
This Martial God had combat consciousness. Even with her realm suppressed, she still crushed Ye Guan. In such a situation, Ye Guan could not possibly fight her head-on!
The mysterious voice suddenly said softly, “This little fellow’s mentality is truly terrifying! I thought that after his breakthrough he might become a bit arrogant, but coming here, he can still clearly recognise his own strength. Not arrogant or underestimating the enemy at all. Terrifying!”
The small tower laughed. “That is because of my excellent guidance!”
The mysterious voice was silent for a moment before saying, “Your thick skin is almost catching up to your little master’s!”
The small tower: “……”
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly sat up. He said excitedly, “Tower Master, I now know why she could crush me with every single move and punch just now!”
The small tower was stunned for a moment and then asked, “Why?”
Ye Guan said excitedly, “It is momentum! This kind of momentum already made her look down on me from the start. Just like one sword deciding life and death. Once my sword is drawn, you are dead without doubt. And what is the source of this momentum? It is strength, it is the experience and power accumulated from countless battles! When she punches towards me, she fears none of my possible moves or counter-moves, because the moment she throws that punch, she has already seen through all my possibilities and sealed off all my escape routes. No matter how I respond, she can immediately counter!”
As he spoke, his hands slowly clenched tightly. “Beginners go from simple to complex. When complexity reaches a certain level, it returns to simplicity. The Great Dao is ultimately simple. Often the most complex things are the simplest!”
The Great Dao is ultimately simple!
Boom!
Suddenly, the Martial God Spear inside Ye Guan shot up into the sky!
Inside the small tower, the small tower said in shock, “He… has he become a Martial God?”
The mysterious voice said, “Not yet!”
The small tower was puzzled. “Why not?”
The mysterious voice said, “Right now, he can only be considered a quasi-Martial God. He has comprehended it, but he has not yet achieved it. The Great Dao is ultimately simple. He is currently at the complex stage. How to reach simplicity is not easy! You must know that there is a huge chasm between knowing and actually doing it! However, for this fellow to discover this issue after fighting a Martial God, his talent is truly rare!”
The small tower laughed heartily. “After all, he is under my guidance. Of course he is different! You know, under my guidance, his grandfather and his father have already become invincible. Next, he will also become invincible. Yes, I think I should give myself a title, something like… Invincible Mentor Tower Awesome!”
The mysterious voice: “???”
At that moment, Ye Guan said again, “In my sea of consciousness, there are battle images of countless powerhouses. I have been observing and learning from them all along. But only after fighting that Martial God senior did I realise that just thinking and comprehending is not enough. Actual combat, actual combat is the true way!”
As he spoke, he punched out and said, “It looks like a simple, ultimate punch, but behind this punch may lie a hundred or a thousand years of cultivation! Therefore, I need battles. I want battles!”
With that, he directly left the area and then entered again!
When he entered, the Martial God appeared once more.
Ye Guan looked at the Martial God and said excitedly, “Again!”
With that, he charged straight out!
…
In the Guanxuan Universe, at the Academy.
On a ten-thousand-zhang-high mountain, a man sat cross-legged at the peak. His eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to merge with heaven and earth.
The Child of Destiny!
After he entered the Guanxuan Academy, he immediately received the full support and cultivation of the entire academy!
All resources given to him were the best!
And his fame instantly surpassed Ye Guanzhi and the Martial Academy’s chief Chen Ge. It could be said that he was now the undisputed most prominent figure in the Guanxuan Academy!
At that moment, the Child of Destiny suddenly opened his eyes.
Boom!
In an instant, countless terrifying forces appeared between heaven and earth: heavenly lightning, earthly fire, freezing winds… densely packed and utterly horrifying!
Ascending Sealing Realm!
The Child of Destiny slowly stood up. At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.
Seeing the middle-aged man, the Child of Destiny quickly bowed respectfully. “Teacher!”
The person before him was the current Grand Martial Officer of the Guanxuan Academy!
The Grand Martial Officer was in charge of teaching martial arts to all disciples in the entire Guanxuan Academy. His status was second only to the Martial Academy Head and the Martial Academy Chief.
Most importantly, this Grand Martial Officer had once been to the Void True Battlefield. Anyone who could survive in that place was terrifying!
The Grand Martial Officer looked at the Child of Destiny with some surprise. “You have reached the Ascending Sealing Realm?”
The Child of Destiny nodded and smiled. “Yes!”
He paused for a moment and then asked, “What realm is Ye Guan at now?”
The Martial Officer said, “Annihilating Void Realm!”
Hearing this, the Child of Destiny frowned. “Still Annihilating Void?”
The Martial Officer nodded.
The Child of Destiny fell silent.
The Martial Officer glanced at the Child of Destiny and asked, “Are you still unwilling to accept the loss from that battle back then?”
The Child of Destiny shook his head. “A loss is a loss. There is nothing to be unwilling about. I was simply inferior in skill. I can accept defeat! I should even thank him for defeating me that day. Otherwise, I would not have been able to empty myself and recognise my own shortcomings!”
A flash of admiration passed through the Martial Officer’s eyes. “A momentary win or loss means nothing. On the path of martial arts, it is not only about the present moment, but also about the future. Only the one who laughs last is the true winner!”
The Child of Destiny nodded slightly. “I understand! However, this time, I will not lose again! Never again!”
The Martial Officer narrowed his eyes slightly. “Are you absolutely confident of victory?”
The corners of the Child of Destiny’s mouth lifted slightly. He closed his eyes and silently chanted an incantation.
Boom!
Suddenly, a golden seal appeared between his brows!
Seeing this golden seal, the Martial Officer’s expression changed dramatically. His eyes were filled with shock!
A Dao Seal!
It was actually the Dao Seal that had once followed the Human Sword Lord!
After that battle back then, the Human Sword Lord returned the Dao Seal to the Dao Lord of the Dao Sect. And now, this Dao Seal was actually in the hands of the Child of Destiny!
The Child of Destiny slowly clenched his fists. He turned to look at the horizon, closed his eyes gently, and said softly, “I will become a qualified dean! And Ye Guan will be the first stepping stone for me to reach the top! In this life, I am destined to be invincible!”
He was going to inherit the great lineage!
