Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1008 - 83 The Tree Wants to be Still but the Wind Doesn't Stop_2

Meanwhile, she took the initiative to change the subject of the conversation.

However, the news of the Evil King's hostility towards Qingyun Academy still reached many people and caused panic among some.

After all, not everyone is Yan Qi or Ao Guang, who are powerful. For those with lesser strength, encountering an evil demon usually means nothing but death.

Gu Chen, upon hearing this news, did not feel much concern; he had been worried about not finding evil demons to gain Divine Power value.

Now, he could not only hunt evil demons to gain Divine Power value but also accumulate contributions at the academy to exchange for broken jade, which was truly killing two birds with one stone.

His apparent strength was vastly different from his true strength, so Gu Chen was not too worried.

After all, who would believe that a minor cultivator who had not yet completed the Cave Heaven Realm could face-to-face kill an expert from the Huanxu Realm?

Yes, that was Gu Chen's current strength!

Without using his Divine Power, he could battle against cultivators from the God Transformation Realm and had a certain assurance of victory.

But if he used his Divine Power, those from the God Transformation Realm naturally could not resist. Only those who reached the Huanxu Realm and achieved Divine Return to Void could battle with Gu Chen.

Of course, if the Divine Power hit, even the Huanxu Realm would find it difficult to survive. It's just that at this realm, their perception was very sharp, and they had many strategies, making them much superior to Gu Chen by two major realms, and thus Divine Power was not so easily countered.

Even so, the fact that someone from the Cave Heaven Realm could slay someone from the Huanxu Realm would cause tremors across the entire upper realm and stir up tremendous waves.

Thus, with such a discrepancy between his public and real strengths, along with various other hidden strengths, Gu Chen even hoped for evil demons to come to him.

"Young Master Gu."

At that moment, Princess Xidie came over, clinking her cup with Gu Chen's, and both drank down their drinks at the same time.

A bit further behind, siblings Tuoba Jun and Tuoba Jade were also present; indeed, they too had succeeded in passing Qingyun Academy's test.

However, among the many talents who passed the test, they were only above average and not particularly outstanding, so they were positioned relatively towards the back.

Crack! Crunch!

Tuoba Jun, watching the scene of Gu Chen laughing and drinking with Princess Xidie, whom he had feelings for, immediately could not contain his anger. He clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds.

"Damn it, damn it, how dare this bumpkin get so close to Princess Xidie!" Influenced by considerable alcohol intake, Tuoba Jun's face flushed red, and with the bolstering effect of the alcohol, how could he stand such a scene?

"Brother, don't make a scene!" Tuoba Jade, very familiar with Tuoba Jun's character, immediately changed her expression and quickly held him back.

"I want to kill him... I want to kill him!" Tuoba Jun roared, like a wild beast in a frenzy.

Those nearby saw his behavior and immediately furrowed their brows, stepping back a bit.

As a powerful force in the East Profound Region, the Tuoba family was quite famous. After all, their ancestor was expected to achieve supreme power. Upon success, another magnificent entity would be born.

So, although Tuoba Jun's behavior was annoying, no one wanted to provoke him.

"Brother!" Seeing this, Tuoba Jade immediately became anxious and held onto Tuoba Jun tightly, fearing he would go and cause trouble.

You should know, surrounding Gu Chen were individuals like Princess Xidie and Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, and although Tuoba Jun was extraordinary, it depended on who he was compared with.

Even if their ancestor truly became a supreme being, compared to mighty forces like the Holy Brilliance Dynasty and Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, they were still a long way off.

Not to mention, Tuoba Jun would likely be no match for Gu Chen, who was considered a peer with monsters like Yan Qi.

However, Tobu Jun was naturally domineering, unruly, and violent, and having drunk quite a bit of alcohol, his jealousy flared wildly upon seeing Gu Chen and Princess Xidie in close contact, almost driving him mad.

"Gu Bai, I'll kill you!"

Finally, unable to contain himself, Tobu Jun violently broke free from Tuobu Jade's restraint and charged straight to the front.

Gu Chen was talking with Princess Xidie when Tobu Jun abruptly appeared, his eyes bloodshot, staring fiercely at Gu Chen like a wild beast choosing its prey.

Upon seeing this, Princess Xidie's eyebrows subtly knit together, and she took a slight step back.

"You bumpkin, I will kill you!" Tobu Jun roared, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, glowering at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen remained calm, if not for Qingyun Academy's rules against allowing students to fight to the death easily, he would have slapped Tobu Jun to death the moment he charged at him.

If the parties wanted a duel to the death, they had to sign a life-and-death agreement and go to a designated arena to fight.

"Do you want to take this opportunity to duel me to the death?" Gu Chen asked.

His forthrightness stunned Tobu Jun, causing a chill to run down his spine and clearing his mind significantly.

"I… I…" he hesitated for a long while, unable to utter a complete sentence.

On the side, the three guardians wanted to intervene but were stopped by Gu Chen.

Meanwhile, members of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, like Yan Qi, looked on with some disdain at Tobu Jun. However, curious about Gu Chen's true strength, they refrained from commenting further.

After all, they all knew each other well to some degree, but Gu Chen's true capabilities were something they were eager to ascertain.

"Not daring? Then hurry up and get lost," Gu Chen said coldly, without any courtesy.

He had intended to keep a low profile at Qingyun Academy and focus on his cultivation, but inevitably, he always encountered setbacks.

But such is life, where things often don't go as planned, rarely ever going smoothly.

"Do you dare to fight my elder brother?!" Tobu Jun suddenly shouted after a long pause.

"Who is your older brother?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Among the current generation of the Tuoba family, there were three outstanding figures, and the most distinguished were Tobu Jun and Tuobu Jade's elder brother, named Tuoba Ying. This year, at thirty-two, he was on the verge of completely mastering the Cave Heaven Realm, having developed three hundred and sixty-five celestial veins.

However, as a newcomer, Gu Chen naturally was not very familiar with this.

Now that Tuoba Ying had successfully joined Qingyun Academy, he directly began his seclusion, and although he had not topped the White Jade Stairs, his strength was nevertheless formidable.

Many people also tensed up upon hearing this, eager to see how Gu Chen would respond.

"Tuoba Ying, it might also reveal a bit about his strength," thought Yan Qi and other prodigies from the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan.

"You don't dare fight me yourself, want your brother to fight in your stead?" Gu Chen looked at Tobu Jun oddly.

Others might betray their fathers, but this was a betrayal of his brother; who knew what Tuoba Ying would think if he learned of this.

"Indeed, do you dare to fight my brother Tuoba Ying?!" Tobu Jun stood tall, radiating tremendous pride, his head held high, trying to show off his "heroic spirit" in front of Princess Xidie.

It was as though, the one facing Gu Chen in a duel to the death wasn't his brother, but he himself, so full of arrogance.
