Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 468 - 186: First Arrival, Encounter Sparring, Golden Heart Sword Defeats Gu Nian! Ordinary Dao Foundation is Not Fearful!

Gu Nian’s demeanor was cold and indifferent, as though he cared nothing for the surrounding circumstances.

He even addressed Lu Changsheng, saying, "Lu Changsheng, there’s no need to mind their gazes. Between you and me, this is merely a sparring match. Victory or defeat matters not."

"Moreover, if any danger arises on the Martial Arts Stage, you’ll be teleported off instantaneously, ensuring no profound harm is sustained."

"However, should your Spiritual Secret Technique become unbearable, make sure to call for a halt yourself. Even the slightest mental damage could be incredibly troublesome."

Gu Nian stood silently on the stage, exuding a distinctive air of elegance.

Lu Changsheng nodded lightly.

He hadn’t expected Gu Nian to be so "meticulous."

Having stepped onto the Martial Arts Stage, he was naturally prepared mentally.

"Let’s begin."

As soon as Gu Nian finished speaking,

"Heart Sword!"

Lu Changsheng immediately executed the Spiritual Secret Technique—Heart Sword!

"Buzz."

Within Lu Changsheng’s mental domain, the Golden Heart Sword shot out in an instant.

"Spirit Vortex, devour!"

Gu Nian likewise displayed his Spiritual Secret Technique—a white radiance suddenly coalesced into a gigantic vortex.

The vortex was astoundingly dreadful, swallowing Lu Changsheng’s Golden Heart Sword in the blink of an eye.

"Hm?"

For Lu Changsheng, it was the first time encountering a Spiritual Secret Technique capable of rivaling his Heart Sword.

He knew clearly the frightening power of his Golden Heart Sword.

Yet it had been completely devoured by Gu Nian’s Spirit Vortex.

Furthermore, the vortex appeared unscathed, as though nothing had happened.

"As expected of a Dao Foundation expert in the third level of the Ancient Domain, honing the mind and refining Spiritual Secret Techniques for decades."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

He began to treat the matter with caution.

The Gu Nian before him was evidently not an opponent to dismiss lightly.

He must approach this seriously!

Gu Nian stood there calmly, hands behind his back, his expression unwavering, and spoke in an even tone: "Lu Changsheng, your Spiritual Secret Technique is certainly not limited to this level of power."

"Do not hold back; unleash all your Spiritual Secret Techniques. Otherwise, once I counterattack, there will be no opportunity for you!"

Lu Changsheng’s expression grew grave. He nodded and responded, "Alright, I will give it my all!"

Previously, Lu Changsheng had reservations.

But now, after witnessing the sheer strength of Gu Nian’s Spiritual Secret Technique, he discarded all hesitations.

"Buzz."

In the next moment, Lu Changsheng’s Golden Heart Sword trembled violently within his mental domain.

The golden radiance shone with unparalleled brilliance.

Lu Changsheng refrained from unleashing his mental domain.

Gu Nian also did not release his mental domain.

The two were purely competing through Spiritual Secret Techniques.

"Slash!"

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng shouted aloud.

Instantly, his Golden Heart Sword surged outward.

Initially only a few inches in size,

but now, with Lu Changsheng fully exerting himself, the Golden Heart Sword erupted with unprecedented intensity.

From a few inches, it rapidly expanded to several meters in length!

The several-meter-long Golden Heart Sword emerged, radiating an aura of sharpness on both mental and spiritual planes that could be sensed even from a great distance.

"Is this Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Secret Technique? Why is it so powerful?"

"Indeed, hasn’t Lu Changsheng only just forged his Dao Foundation? How can his Spiritual Secret Technique rival Dao Foundation?"

"No wonder he dominates an entire youthful generation of the immortal path as a peerless genius. He defies all conventional reasoning."

"With Lu Changsheng utilizing such a terrifying Spiritual Secret Technique, can Gu Nian truly endure?"

Some Dao Foundation martial artists who knew Gu Nian well discussed fervently.

At this moment, Gu Nian outwardly maintained an air of tranquility.

Yet inwardly, he faced immense pressure.

Unlike the Dao Foundation martial artists beneath the stage, confronting Lu Changsheng’s Golden Heart Sword directly on the Martial Arts Stage was truly overwhelming.

"Spirit Vortex, devour!"

Gu Nian inhaled deeply, suddenly pushing his Spiritual Secret Technique—Spirit Vortex—to its limit.

In an instant, the Spirit Vortex swelled significantly.

Yet Gu Nian could not guarantee it could consume Lu Changsheng’s Golden Heart Sword.

All he could do was give his utmost effort.

Being defeated by Lu Changsheng would be undeniably humiliating.

After all, it was widely known that Lu Changsheng did not focus on cultivating Spiritual Secret Techniques.

Gu Nian, on the other hand, was singularly dedicated to cultivating Spiritual Secret Techniques, seeking to comprehend the Spiritual Law.

To be defeated by a martial artist who had only recently forged his Dao Foundation—and not even primarily trained in mental and spiritual disciplines— 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

would render Gu Nian a laughingstock throughout the Heavenly Sect of the Ancient Domain.

Thus, he had to withstand this!

However, clashes of Spiritual Secret Techniques on the mental plane could not simply be weathered by sheer willpower.

When the Spirit Vortex engulfed the several-meter-long Golden Heart Sword in a single gulp,

it seemed as though nothing had changed.

But Gu Nian’s entire body trembled uncontrollably.

His Spirit Vortex became extraordinarily unstable.

"Impossible... I must hold on!"

Gu Nian’s expression contorted.

"Boom."

In the next instant, the Spirit Vortex suddenly shattered.

The Golden Heart Sword flashed and pierced into Gu Nian’s body.

"Ah..."

Gu Nian let out a cry of pain.

Soon after, the Martial Arts Stage glimmered, and Gu Nian was sent offstage, reappearing below.

Gu Nian now exhibited complete languor in vitality and spirit.

His face was pale, and his aura had plummeted drastically.

"My spirit has been annihilated by more than half..."

Gu Nian abruptly raised his head, staring at Lu Changsheng with a look of shock.

His spirit was undoubtedly formidable.

But how could it fail to withstand Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Secret Technique?

He was a martial artist dedicated to comprehending the Spiritual Law.

How could he lose to someone who had only just forged the Dao Foundation? And be defeated by a Spiritual Secret Technique, no less.

Not only was Gu Nian stunned, but the Dao Foundation experts below the Martial Arts Stage were even more astonished.
