Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 62 - : The Outcome Decided in an Instant!

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Outcome Decided in an Instant!

“Let’s begin.”

Gu Zhan said and then resumed his seat.

There was no need for something as troublesome as a dueling stage; besides him, there were also the Heavenly Gate Realm Elders of the Gu Family present.

There wasn’t even a need to remind them not to fight to the death or anything like that—after all, an accident was unlikely to occur, at most they’d only suffer some injuries.

At this point, the peers of Gu Changge were also fidgeting, eager to get started.

It wasn’t that they had any particular opinion of Gu Changge.

But they certainly couldn’t just let him become the Young Master for nothing—they at least had to be convinced, right?

“Right, didn’t Changming say he wanted to challenge today?”

“Go on, it’s perfect for you to set an example.”

“You seem to have a good relationship with Changge too, starting things off is just right!”

“Even if you really defeat Changge, it’s no big deal.”

But for a time, everyone looked at each other, none willing to step forward first.

What if Gu Changge was just a figurehead with an impressive title but no substance? Defeating him might not be difficult, but what about his grandfather who was the second Elder? What if he held a grudge?

The probability was low… but they were still a bit fearful.

As a result, one of them nudged Gu Changming, who was ready to enjoy the show, to egg him on.

“I’m not going up…” Gu Changming shook his head as fiercely as a rattle-drum, what a joke, why should he embarrass himself?

“Don’t be afraid, aren’t you from the same grandfather?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“Cheer up, don’t lose face!”

“What? Changming is going up first? Good job!”

“Good job, Changming, get up there, look sharp!”

Who knows who started it, but suddenly everyone was egging him on.

Before Gu Changming could protest, someone had already pushed him out of the crowd…

“I f***ing…”

Gu Changming’s face turned as green as a gourd—he just wanted to watch, why did HE have to be the first clown!?

Family Head Gu Zhan spoke up from the sidelines, “Since you’re out here, then begin.”

Since the Family Head had spoken, Gu Changming had no choice but to step forward reluctantly.

The shouts of encouragement in his ears did not bring him an ounce of confidence.

Just yesterday he had witnessed his cousin’s strength firsthand, there was no playing around!

“Cousin… can I just admit defeat?”

He asked in a low voice as he approached.

“I’m afraid that won’t look too good; wouldn’t it seem like we had arranged it beforehand?”

“How about you let me beat you up a bit, I’ll go easy and you can admit defeat right after?”

Gu Changge said with a smile, winking.

“I…”

Gu Changming’s face twisted like a bitter melon—he felt he shouldn’t even have come. He should have just stayed home and cultivated; why did he bother with this commotion!

“What are you whispering about!”

“Changming, you can’t go easy just because you’re close!”

“Start already, what are you waiting for?”

The youngsters behind were incessantly urging him on.

“Wait a second… let me put on some armor first.”

Seeing there was no escaping, Gu Changming no longer cared about face.

He promptly took out a set of Yellow Grade, Top Grade armor from his Storage Pouch and began to put it on piece by piece.

“What’s this?”

“Is this a joke?”

The onlookers couldn’t help but mock, but he didn’t care, thinking let them wait to get beaten up later. After all, he had the protective gear he obtained when his father had once taken him to fight Demon Beasts.

His actions even made the watching Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect frown a little.

“Is the Gu Family putting on a play?”

“It shouldn’t be… How could the position of Young Master be a matter of jest?”

“Could it be because of pressure from the Imperial Family?”

Two of the Heavenly Cold Sect Elders couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards the Little Princess of the Northern Domain who was also spectating.

But they found that the Little Princess also looked somewhat puzzled.

The information she had obtained was that Gu Changge was nothing but the beneficiary of an old monster from the Gu Family’s transmission of power, far from a genius.

“Come on!”

Gu Changming donned his armor and finally took on the appearance of facing a great enemy as he adopted a defensive stance.

“…”

Gu Changge couldn’t help twitching the corner of his mouth. Was that really necessary?

But he was not in the mood to dawdle. He immediately flashed towards him, appearing right in front of him.

The moment Gu Changming only saw a blur before his eyes and hadn’t even reacted, he felt the world spin around him!

He was kicked straight into the air by Gu Changge.

Before he could react, Gu Changge had already swung his sword in succession.

Those swaths of sword qi, accompanied by the sound of cutting wind, left neither shallow nor deep marks at every joint of his armor.

‘Thud’

As his head smashed downwards into the ground, his once-intact armor fell apart, scattering across the floor.

“I give up, I give up!”

“Whoever wants to keep going can go ahead!”

Although upside down, he saw his cousin flashing towards him again and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

He had no interest in taking such an unnecessary beating!

“Anyone else want to give it a try?”

Gu Zhan’s gaze towards Gu Changge was somewhat bright. He had clearly not exerted his full strength just now, but with that mastery of sword qi alone, he had at least reached the threshold of Sword Technique Divine Power!

No wonder he was so confident.

The younger generation of the Gu Family, watching this scene, were also somewhat stunned.

They hadn’t expected that he would have mastered a Sword Technique Divine Power in such a short amount of time.

But this was still far from enough!

“I’ll do it.”

Gu Changye slightly furrowed his brow. Also a cultivator of the Sword Technique Divine Power, he felt something was off and decided to step forward.

As he, in the later stages of the Qi Sea Realm, came forward, the others immediately lost interest.

Whether Gu Changye won or lost, there was no need for anyone else to make a move.

But Gu Changge’s chances of winning were obviously less than ten percent. Even with a threshold mastery of the Sword Technique Divine Power, it was impossible to beat Changye, his cousin, within the same realm.

“Please.”

Upon seeing this, Gu Changge also got a bit more serious and gave Gu Changye a salute with his sword.

“Cousin, you seem to have hidden quite well just now.”

“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Gu Changye did not underestimate him and took out a flying sword as well, although its grade was somewhat lower than Gu Changge’s, being only Dark Grade, lower quality.

The two locked eyes, saying nothing. Even before making a move, Gu Changye tried to outdo him in terms of momentum.

However, it was clear that the confident Gu Changge was not affected.

‘Clang——’

In an instant, both attacked at the same time, with sword shadows flickering. The stones on the ground were left with deep streaks by the passing sword qi!

The silhouettes of both were like afterimages, swiftly closing in and then separating again.

The sound of clashing blades rang out incessantly, and those juniors at the Sky-controlling Realm couldn’t even make out the situation on the field for a moment!

Instead, those above the Reach Profound Realm gasped in shock.

The two were both purely offensive, dodging and weaving. The outcome was decided in moments!

As a streak of fresh blood flew across, splashing onto the stone floor.

Only then did the two return to their original positions, the ground now riddled with holes and cracks.

“Hisss…”

“Looks like cousin Changye didn’t hold back, he’s even drawn blood.”

Just as the youngsters gasped and speculated, they saw Gu Changye, with a shocked expression on his face, clutching his arm.

“Swordsmanship and Body Technique Divine Power have reached Small Success, and he has even grasped Sword Intent!”

His voice did not hide anything and reached everyone’s ears.

“Sorry… I thought the Elders would intervene.”

Gu Changge gave a regretful bow.

Naturally, he was not the one injured. Even under the same level of perfected Sky-controlling Realm, even if he deliberately retained the level of Small Success in his Sword Technique Divine Power, it was enough!

As for the Elders, they were somewhat embarrassed.

Things had happened too suddenly. Before they could even marvel at the strength of Gu Changge, a twist had already occurred.

Especially since…

Gu Changye himself was in the late stages of the Qi Sea Realm. Even if he suppressed his Realm, he should have been able to release it in a critical moment and dodge. No one expected, but everybody was surprised that Gu Changge had already grasped Sword Intent. Even at the Qi Sea Realm, a moment of carelessness resulted in an injury to the arm. Had it not been for promptly releasing his suppression and using the power of the later stages of the Qi Sea Realm to evade, his arm might have been entirely severed!
