"Who will come out to fight me?" he asserted, sweeping his gaze around with an air of dominance.

Shi Yao, of the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan—a top hundred clan in the upper realm—was the most formidable prodigy of his generation within the clan. Bloodline was highly esteemed among other races, and his was of an ancestral level, with his deep green pupils serving as the best testament to this.

Even rumors suggested that once one's cultivation reached a certain level, the pupils of the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan could harbor extremely potent innate divine powers!

His presence was powerful and his bravery unmatched; his giant stature towered over the average person by at least two or three heads, making him incredibly intimidating.

Wild and unrestrained—these were the best descriptors for the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan.

"If no one dares to fight me, then I won't be polite in taking the God-nourishing flower and the God-fostering pill for myself!" Shi Yao's hair was wild, and even in human form, he radiated a savage aura.

At that moment, seeing no one from Zhulu Academy responding, he rushed straight toward the heavens, intent on seizing a round of "sunlight" in his hands.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort sounded. From within Zhulu Academy, a fiendish figure Ascended to Heaven to intercept Shi Yao.

"Golden Armored Wild Bull Clan!"

Bai Yu and the other four immediately recognized the origin of the man contending with Shi Yao from the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan.

The Golden Armored Wild Bull Clan was equally a powerful clan of the upper realm, and that male individual's build was formidable, virtually rivaling Shi Yao.

Moreover, he also possessed a pair of bull horns, which were one of his clan's strongest methods.

"Moo!"

A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth, causing the very island they were on to tremble. The monster from the Golden Armored Wild Bull Clan let out a mighty bellow, creating ripples in the void, aimed at Shi Yao of the Green-eyed Golden Lion Clan.

"Roar!"

Shi Yao, of course, was not one to show weakness. In response to the opponent's bellow, he countered with a lion's roar.

Boom!

The sound waves emitted by the two clashed mid-air, causing a tremendous tremor. Cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation could hardly bear it; even those merely observing from the side were forced to spit out blood.

Seeing Shi Yao and the other person start to fight, Bai Yu and the remaining four no longer waited, each soaring into the sky.

For the clash of prodigious fiends like these, other cultivators simply couldn't join in and could only watch from a distance.

At the same time, Yan Qi and others from Qingyun Academy couldn't help but turn their attention to Gu Chen. The once top figure of the academy could now only stand by as an observer. If they were in his shoes, their hearts would undoubtedly be suffering.

As soon as Bai Yu and the others joined the battle, Gu Chen, who had been quite conspicuous before, suddenly seemed like an extra, as if he had fallen from the clouds to the ground.

Such a discrepancy was not something just anyone could endure.

However, when Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and others saw that Gu Chen could still stand there and observe the battle with a usual expression, they couldn't help but secretly admire his extraordinary temperament, which was far superior to their own.

"Aren't you going to take action?" At this moment, Princess Xidie, who knew Gu Chen's strength well, sent a telepathic message to him. Her bright eyes fluttered, her lashes like butterfly wings, her pupils clear and profound, reflecting images as if in a mirror, and she looked at him with curiosity.

"No rush," Gu Chen replied, his expression tranquil.

"Are you the once number one person of Qingyun Academy, Gu Bai?"

Just then, a distant voice reached them, and it was the last God Transformation Realm great perfectionist from Zhulu Academy, locking his gaze on Gu Chen.

"It's over!"

Seeing this scene, Yan Qi and the others couldn't help but change their expressions, never expecting that man to target Gu Chen, undoubtedly because of the fame associated with being the number one of Qingyun Academy.

They all recognized the man. It was Wu Qi, who had jeered at everyone not long ago. He, too, was from the Human Clan, unmatched in the five domains, with formidable talent and strength.

Although Gu Chen's strength was not lacking, the other was a God Transformation Realm great perfectionist after all. The disparity in their realms was obvious. As both were geniuses, naturally it was extremely difficult to bridge the gap.

To Gu Chen's surprise, Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and others actually came to his side to face the challenge together. He was truly taken aback.

"What are you doing?" Princess Xidie was also slightly taken aback.

"As members of the same academy, and you having saved our lives, how could we stand by and watch you be ambushed?" Yan Qi and Ao Guang said, their voices grave.

Although there had been some conflicts between Gu Chen and Yan Qi before, now, in the face of an external enemy, all that no longer mattered.

"A bunch of country bumpkins, that's all," Wu Qi said with a faint smile. Watching Yan Qi and the others standing together with Gu Chen, he didn't care in the slightest and even stopped the early God Transformation Realm reinforcements from Zhulu Academy from coming over.

"I appreciate the gesture," Gu Chen nodded at them, then took a step forward, arriving in front of Wu Qi.

"Gu Bai, he has been undefeated across the five domains, and now he has even reached the great completion of the God Transformation Realm. It will be difficult for you to match him before you make your own breakthrough!" Yan Qi shouted anxiously, his expression taut.

They did not deny Gu Chen's strength; during their trip to the Canglei Ancient Ruins, Gu Chen had clashed with Bai Yu, but back then, Bai Yu was only in the later stages of the God Transformation Realm.

For these exceptional geniuses, each minor realm's advancement could make an enormous difference.

That was why they were so worried.

"It's fine," Gu Chen said calmly, signaling them not to worry.

"Your composure is commendable," Wu Qi said with a light smile, confidence in his chest. He extended one hand and slapped at Gu Chen's face.

This action was extremely insulting, a total humiliation of Gu Chen!

But this was the effect Wu Qi wanted. After all, Qingyun Academy and Zhulu Academy were sworn enemies. No matter how excessive he was, it wouldn't be considered too much, and he might even be rewarded by Zhulu Academy for it.

Moreover, no matter what, Gu Chen was once the top figure of Qingyun Academy. A slap on his face was like a slap on the academy itself. The news would cause quite a stir if it spread.

Seeing Wu Qi's excessive behavior, Princess Xidie's flawless face also showed a trace of anger.

The Holy Son of the Boundless Dao, Zhen Yuan, also frowned slightly.

"It's over!"

Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and the others were even more anxious. As members of Qingyun Academy, they shared in its glory, not to mention that Gu Chen had saved them. Naturally, they didn't want to see this happen.

Slap!

The next moment, as expected, a loud slapping sound rang out, crisp and clear. The noise here even drew the attention of Bai Yu and the others who were fighting in the distance.

"You..." Wu Qi's eyes were wide with disbelief as he stood there, stupefied.

Because it wasn't Gu Chen who had been slapped. It was him. The other's hand had landed on his face, the searing pain leaving Wu Qi completely dumbstruck!

Slap!

Another crisp sound followed. Before Wu Qi could react, Gu Chen had slapped him again, swelling the other cheek with a bright red handprint.

"Now it's symmetrical," Gu Chen observed, commenting on his own actions.

The second slap indeed snapped Wu Qi out of it. He glared at Gu Chen, eyes blazing with rage, almost going mad.

"There's some skill," Tang Yu from Misty Palace, Su Yiqing from Hao Tian Sect, Qu Ping from Wonderful Law Hall, Shi Yao from the Green eyed Golden Lion Clan, and even a few of the God Transformation Realm great completion geniuses from Zhulu Academy, all narrowed their eyes a fraction.

If they hadn't paid attention to the first slap, the second made them see nothing but a blur.

"Even though his realm hasn't broken through, why do I feel that his combat strength has increased a lot compared to when I first met him?" Bai Yu from the Tian Yu Clan frowned deeply as he looked at Gu Chen, his mind stirring with a sense of crisis.

He even felt that this might not be Gu Chen's full strength!

"This..."

Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and the others who had no idea what was happening were utterly astounded. They couldn't believe that Wu Qi, at the great completion of the God Transformation Realm, was actually slapped twice by Gu Chen?

If one had to describe it, it was domineering, and utterly so!

However, such behavior would undoubtedly displease Zhulu Academy. What could be done now to settle the aftermath?
