Barrier of Light

"Brother Gu...he came too early."

Today was the finals of the rookie battle. Gong Zi successfully reached the finals, and Gu Shen also came to the venue as scheduled.

As soon as I entered the venue, I was greeted by people I didn’t recognize.

Gu Shen responded with a smile.

Brother Xiao Gu... This title has become a polite "common title" in the deep water forum.

Gu Shen clearly felt that the hostility towards him in the Snow Forbidden City had decreased a lot during this period.

Not long ago, the Baigu dispute that everyone was "looking forward to" did not happen. This incident caused a lot of controversy. The posts on the forum almost flooded the screen. It was probably because of the disappointment of both parties and the "disposal". dissatisfaction.

Finally, the Bai family witch posted a response using her own ID, ending the discussion thread.

Bai Lu's response was simple.

Baixiu and Gu Shen hit it off immediately and are now considered friends.

As soon as this post came out, most of the extraordinary people in the deep water area fell silent... The essential reason why so many challengers came to Chunyu Temple to ask for a fight was because they believed that Gu Shen was "not worthy" of S-class.

But what if Baixiu thinks it’s worthy?

After that day, many extraordinary people in the Snow Forbidden City became much less prejudiced against Gu Shen.

Putting aside the "preconceptions" and looking at Gu Shen again, most people have to sigh that he is indeed a good enough genius. He has been practicing for a short time and is powerful enough. He has also been favored by Master Qianye and has become a genius. "Heir of Divination".

Maybe he is not as dazzling as Baixiu.

But he... is indeed very low-key.

Except for fighting back when provoked at the beginning, Gu Shen never caused a big disturbance in the Snow Forbidden City. Most of the time, he practiced in his own small yard, and then went to Qingzhong to meditate.

Who would really want to be at odds with a "heir to the art of divination"?

Gu Shen walked towards the first row of the venue. Many people greeted him along the way. He deeply felt a truth.

When you become strong, the world will be full of your friends.

The finals of the rookie battle is a very grand and grand event. The seats in the first row of the venue have already been taken by the "big shots". The five masters of the three institutes, as well as a group of distinguished council officials in the Snow Forbidden City, have the first row of seats. Seating qualifications are a symbol of power and status.

And Gu Shen received this seat ticket early.

This is what Gong Zi used his special relationship to send to him... Even if they have good relationships with Mu Nan and Shen Li, they can only sit in the back seats. There is no way, even if they are qualified, they can't really do it. Take your seat.

The people sitting in the first row are all top figures with enough "prestige" in the Snow Forbidden City.

Like Mu Nan and Shen Li, they are still too young now.

They are not qualified enough.

However... youth is actually just an "excuse".

After Gu Shen took his seat, he looked around habitually. Not far away, he saw his acquaintance, the witch from the Bai family, and "Little Sleeve" who had returned from a long trip.

Those who truly have status and status and hold "power and authority" will not be restricted by age.

Just like myself, I am actually just a "young man" with relatively junior qualifications.

…

…

"Brother Gu, I didn't expect you to come too."

Gu Shen heard a message in his mind.

He looked across and saw Baixiu who greeted him proactively.

He nodded slowly, as if he had met before, and said with the same smile: "Gong Zi is my friend, I promised him that I will come to see him win the championship."

Baixiu also nodded slowly with a smile on his face.

Like Gu Shen, after he came back from the tundra, he devoted himself to cultivation without caring about worldly affairs. After experiencing the last assassination, Bai Xiu decided to practice in seclusion in the Snow Forbidden City for a period of time... Firstly, to prevent similar things from happening again. , The second is to consolidate one's spiritual realm. After all, this is the base camp of the Bai family, and there is no place more suitable for one's retreat than Nagano.

But this newbie battle is different from the past.

Bai Xiu also took a look at the three seventh-level extraordinary beings who stood out in the competition... Such strength has exceeded his expectations. These three can practice to this level, they are indeed geniuses among geniuses.

So on the final day, he was pulled out by Bai Lu.

The five masters of the three institutes hope that the "newbie battle" will be the most popular.

So... these two Bai Gu, even if they don't go out to fight in person, just need to meet at the venue to cause a lot of discussions.

"There are too many eyes outside, staring at me, and every move will be magnified..."

Bai Xiu whispered: "Brother Gu, in order to avoid trouble, I will quietly watch the battle."

"That's exactly what it should be." Gu Shen agreed with a smile.

He and Bai Xiu had "little contact" and had only met and spoken to each other a few times, but every time they met, they felt very relaxed in their hearts.

Maybe he knows that the other person is the same person as himself.

Neither fight nor fight.

Don’t fight with outsiders, fight with yourself.

What is not up for debate is which one is strong and which one is weak, which one is fast and which one is slow.

What we are competing for is day and night, sun and moon!

Such people are both opponents and friends.

…

…

When Bai Xiu and Gu Shen entered the venue, they were stared at by many people.

Although the discussion thread in the deep water area has been terminated.

But many people are still looking forward to something happening between these two people...whether it's a contradiction or a conflict, even if there is neither of these, at least they can have a few words.

But there was nothing.

The two of them just stood across the venue, each on their own side, nodding slowly to indicate that they had seen each other before.

The people who paid close attention to the two people were disappointed when they saw this scene.

After all, the relationship between "Bai Gu" is a major attraction besides the finals.

"Gu Shen!"

Shen Li came a little late. He sat in the back seat and said hello using his spiritual power. Gu Shen turned around and saw the little iron man sitting in the middle and back, smiled and nodded.

Shen Li sat beside a group of fellow disciples.

His master, the Fourth Inquisitor Li Yu, sat in the front row, very close to the Grand Inquisitor Mr. Shan.

"I'm a little worried...Gong Zi."

"Worry?"

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

When he heard the news that Gong Zi advanced to the finals, he left Qingzuka at the agreed time and rushed to the venue. He didn't pay attention to the rookie battle in the past few days.

Did something special happen?

"Yesterday's semi-finals, the seventh-level transcendent 'Chu Chen' from the command post met Lian Zhou——"

Shen Li's voice only reached half of the rumor and stopped abruptly.

A silent pressure enveloped him.

"Shuashuashua——"

Many people stood up at the venue to make way for "that person" walking in the corridor. In fact, the corridor was spacious enough, and the greater significance of getting up was to show their respect.

Mr. Gu Qilin, wearing a suit jacket, entered slowly with an expressionless face.

Next to him was the rising star of the command post, [Iron Hand] Luo Yu.

Fatty Luo no longer had the playful look in the villa, but his face was solemn. He put on the standard robe of the command post, and his aura seemed to be solidified... Wherever the two of them passed, one by one, members of the Third Institute stood up. .

"Chu Chen lost, Lian Zhou's methods were extremely cruel..."

When Shen Li saw the gloomy-looking commander, he shuddered. He quickly stood up and stood in respect. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said the last sentence: "I suggest you watch the video of that duel..."

Gu Qilin walked all the way.

Finally he came and sat down next to Gu Shen.

The surroundings were as silent as cicadas.

It was obvious that the old man was in a very bad mood.

Chu Ling immediately called up the video of Chu Chen's duel with Lian Zhou... The duel between the two seventh-level extraordinary beings should be very exciting, but the whole duel was briefly terrifying.

"All the opponents Lian Zhou encountered after the first day...all surrendered."

Chu Ling said: "But Chu Chen didn't."

Lian Zhou's previous opponents were all second-stage extraordinary beings... As long as these people had seen his brutal methods, how could they think of "fighting again"?

So far, all the extraordinary people who have fought against Lian Zhou have suffered severe injuries due to their bodies bursting and bleeding!

Surrendering directly is the wisest choice.

But for Chu Chen, it was different. Like Lian Zhou, he was an extraordinary person at the third stage of the seventh level of strength. He also had a master behind him, a gift of treasures, and means. Even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity.

How could it be possible to surrender without a fight?

So there was the "fierce battle" that followed...

At the beginning of the competition, Lian Zhou was different from the others in the duel. He did not leave any time for the opponent to react, and directly used all his previous methods. The air in the ring shattered, and Chu Chen's attack methods, including the sealed objects, did not have time to use. The body was "cut into pieces" and blood splattered——

This scene is extremely bloody!

In the past, the trauma suffered by those extraordinary people was only "a dozen cuts".

Chu Chen, on the other hand, encountered "hundreds of scissors" in an instant!

The battle has just begun and is already over... This young genius with outstanding qualifications is still receiving emergency treatment and is not out of danger yet.

After watching the video, Gu Shen frowned.

He is now very sure that Lian Zhou's favorite trick is a sealed object. Because Lian Zhou's previous opponent was too weak and the execution speed was too fast, it was over in an instant, so he didn't see it clearly.

This time "Blazing Fire" saw it clearly.

That sealed object... seems to be a "scissors"?

With the strength of the seventh level, it is possible to explode this level of lethality. The origin of this "sealed object" may not be simple.

However, the doubts in his heart deepened.

Is it necessary?

How could a mere newcomer battle be so cruel?

With Lian Zhou's strength...if he could control the "scissors" perfectly, why would he be so ruthless? He could just defeat his opponent just right.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

Not far from the venue opposite, Zhu Wang entered from another entrance.

The "Grand Adjudicator" was followed by his favorite disciple Han Dang. He entered the venue and took his seat directly. He didn't look at anyone during the whole process. He just closed his eyes and rested, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the game and was just going through the motions.

But Han Dang immediately looked at Gu Shen expressionlessly.

The two looked at each other in the distance.

it is more than words.

Mr. Gu sat next to Gu Shen and said slowly: "Although the boy yesterday is not my disciple...but he is a member of the command post after all. It is really angry to see one of his own being cut like this. thing."

"This game shouldn't be so tragic."

Gu Shen thought for a while and said, "You must have seen the video... that sealed artifact is not simple."

"Pseudo S-level sealed object, [Paper Cut]."

Gu Qilin looked at Zhu Wang, who was pretending to be calm with his eyes closed, sneered, and said slowly: "One of the trump cards of a certain temporary grand adjudicator is that he has spent his entire life on a dog, in order to compete for the rookie championship. , you don’t have to worry about it. This kind of sealed object is extremely lethal and consumes a lot of energy. If you can’t kill the opponent... your own mental power will be exhausted.”

【Paper scissors】?

Pseudo S-level sealed object?

No wonder the killing power is so terrifying... This should be the second time Gu Shen has seen such a high-rated sealed object. The last time he saw a sealed object with a rating exceeding A-level was probably during the review team exam, the Grand Judge's [Ghost Cage] 】.

"This is the reason why Lian Zhou didn't stop... He couldn't control [Paper Scissors] at all, let alone click to the end." Gu Shen secretly understood the reason in his heart, but he still had some doubts: "Since the consumption is so huge, the face Why use pseudo-S-level sealed objects against low-level extraordinary beings?"

This is really weird.

How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?

On the first day of the competition, Lian Zhou faced the extraordinary beings on the third floor of the deep water area, and both used the [paper scissors] as a powerful weapon!

If you just think of the "deterrence" effect, crushing with absolute strength is enough.

Why choose [paper scissors] that consume more money?

"Lin."

A deep voice sounded from behind.

An old man in a trench coat with a cane slowly came to Gu Qilin's side. The old man wore a deerstalker hat and sunglasses, and held a pipe in his mouth. He looked like a "detective" who spent the winter in the deep mountains and forests.

Gu Qilin stood up with a smile to show respect, and at the same time introduced to Gu Shen: "This is my old friend... Chairman of the Dongzhou Federal Security Council, Zhou Wei."

Chairman of the Dongzhou Federal Security Council?

This is the "Extraordinary Supervisory Organization" established by the Supreme Council. It is independent of the three five major organizations in Nagano and enjoys the central privileges of the Five Continents Federation.

The Security Committee is responsible for the investigation of "out of control" and the supervision of internal discipline and order of the "Extraordinary Organization". It is no exaggeration to say that the operation of the entire Eastern Continent Federation is inseparable from the supervision of the Security Committee.

Seeing this old man, Gu Shen was in awe.

"Mr. Zhou."

He immediately stood up with the old man and took the initiative to help President Zhou Wei sit down.

"well……"

Mr. Zhou sat down with a smile, looked at Gu Shen, and praised softly: "You are worthy of being S-class... You deserve the title..."

Mr. Zhou’s mental strength is extremely impressive!

The moment he stepped forward to help, Gu Shen felt a vast spiritual power brushing through his body.

Although this spiritual force is powerful, it is harmless.

With just one glance, Gu Shen had the illusion that he had been "seen through."

The four-season wilderness...seems to be seen.

However, the news that he had successfully practiced the Breath of Spring had already spread in Nagano Castle. If his spiritual power had not been deeply explored and he could see the real spiritual world, then this would not be a secret.

"The control inside and outside the venue took a lot of effort on my part." After Zhou Wei took his seat, he chuckled and said: "As you know, the committee has never had many people... Those who came to the venue today probably took time off from the Nagano branch. half."

This sentence did not avoid Gu Shen.

Gu Shen was startled when he heard this.

He looked at the old man in astonishment.

The safety committee was fully mobilized.

Is this... a real-name report?

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just looking for an old friend to watch a game." Gu Qilin put his arm around Zhou Wei's shoulders and said calmly: "After all, he is the head of the safety committee, and he brought some younger brothers to watch the game. ...This makes sense, right?”

Gu Shen nodded, with a complicated look on his face.

Zhou Wei smiled and said: "According to the committee's investigation, Lian Zhou's strength entered the country too quickly and was unreasonable... It took him three years to advance from the fifth level of the deep water zone to the sixth level, and the sixth level The promotion from the sixth floor to the seventh floor only took a short year. As far as I know, the breakthrough time from the sixth floor to the seventh floor was so fast that only one person has appeared in the Snow Forbidden City in the past ten years."

Mr. Zhou looked at the young man in white across the venue with a smile.

There is only one.

White sleeves!

"It's just that Bai Xiu was promoted from the fifth floor to the sixth floor in only eight months, four times as fast as him." Zhou Wei said with a smile: "It's not that the Security Committee has not doubted him... but that little guy He is a truly evil character, extremely mentally stable and extremely powerful."

"Actually, it doesn't matter how fast you are promoted. The stupid bird flies first, and once it becomes enlightened, it's not a strange thing."

Gu Qilin said slowly: "Lian Zhou can be a genius, or he can win the championship...but the premise is that he had better be the kind of genius who can win the championship."

Not long after.

Everyone took their seats.

The venue quickly became silent, and the finals of the rookie battle officially began at this moment.

At both ends of the venue, two figures slowly walked out.

Lian Zhou, Gong Zi.

The biggest focus of this rookie battle is the battle between the three seventh-level transcendents... However, after the battle where Lian Zhou "cut" Chu Chen, the prediction of the final battle has undergone an overwhelming change. .

That battle was really brutal.

Chu Chen, who is also a seventh-level transcendent, was cut to the point where he was unable to fight back... He is still receiving treatment, and he doesn't know if he can be rescued from the hell gate.

Many people called on the competition to prohibit Lian Zhou from using such cruel sealed objects.

These calls became louder and louder, and in just one day a protest took shape.

However, the rules of the newcomer battle have never changed.

The use of sealed objects has always been a decisive factor in winning, and the competition did not change the competition system due to protests.

As a result, some people emerged and suggested that Gong Zi give up the duel.

Nowadays, most of the posts on the Deep Water Forum are not optimistic about "Gong Zi". Even if this is the young master of the Gong family, he has a strong background and has experience in the semi-finals. There is a high probability that he will bring a very powerful sealed object. .

But because the fate of the seventh-level transcendent was so tragic... people's subconscious impression is really difficult to change.

Chu Chen also has a powerful sealed object!

But before he could use it, his entire body was cut off.

"Huh……"

Strange calls echoed throughout the spectator seats when Gong Zi appeared on the stage.

When they saw the young master of the Gong family, the eyes of many people in the venue changed.

Even Lian Zhou's eyes became strange.

He looked at the opponent in front of him, who was wearing a rough-looking but tightly wrapped iron coat, and bowed to him slowly.

Is this...his ultimate opponent?
