Barrier of Light

"Iron clothes..."

When Mr. Gu saw the iron coat on Gong Zi's body, his expression became wonderful.

This thing appeared on Gong Zi's body...

There is only one reason.

Gu Qilin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, trying hard to suppress a smile, and looked at Gu Shen meaningfully, his eyes full of admiration for the younger generation.

What a good boy, he is indeed the one I like!

"That iron coat seems to be very rough..."

Mr. Zhou pressed his crutches with both hands and murmured: "The little guy from the Gong family is not a reckless person...bringing such a sealed object to the battle...does it have a special effect?"

Mr. Zhou noticed the hidden smile on Gu Qilin's lips and was slightly startled: "Is there anything special about this iron coat?"

Gu Qilin smiled and said nothing.

…

…

Lian Zhou narrowed his eyes.

He stared at the iron coat... Out of caution, he used his mental power to sense it carefully.

But no matter how you look at it, there seems to be nothing strange about the iron coat.

Just an ordinary iron suit?

He moved his head slightly and looked for help at "Senior Brother Han Dang" on the side of the venue. The latter had no expression on his face, tapped his knees in a subtle manner, and moved his two fingers together slowly across.

The meaning is obvious.

This is a signal to Lian Zhou... to end the battle quickly.

Just like yesterday’s semi-final——

Explode [Paper Cutting] with all your strength and win the final showdown!

And this action was actually equivalent to telling Lian Zhou... that the iron coat was not some extraordinary sealed object.

Just do it!

"call……"

Lian Zhou took a deep breath and bowed slowly to Gong Zi.

This is considered etiquette before the fight begins.

After bowing, he did not hesitate and directly took out [Paper Scissors], only to see a wisp of unintentional shadow appear in his palm——

The majestic spiritual power is injected into it!

In the center of the venue, there was a sound of tearing air!

next moment!

The invisible shadow disappeared from Lian Zhou's palm.

[Paper Cutting] is so fast that it is unbelievable. In just a moment, the ground was cut and the air exploded——

The spectator seats at the venue erupted with exclamations of surprise!

When this [Paper Cut] appeared again, it was on Gong Zi's shoulder!

It's just different from the previous scene where the body of the extraordinary person on the seventh floor of the command post was directly cut into pieces. This time the [Paper Scissors] completely revealed its prototype. This scissors seal was only the size of a palm, and the texture of the paper looked like thin scissor blades. , but it is extremely sharp!

It's just that... the [Iron Arrow] at this moment did not explode with the lethality of dozens or hundreds of hits in an instant!

Just the first time, I hit a wall!

There was a "buzz" sound.

The extremely heavy and harsh crashing sound made people frown.

Lian Zhou's expression suddenly changed.

He never imagined that the semi-S-level sealed object [Paper Scissors] that he had injected a lot of mental power into would make such a sound when cut on the iron coat... Couldn't it be cut into pieces?

How can it be!

My own [paper scissors] can even cut hills!

"Is this the method you prepared... It is indeed a weird sealed object!"

Lian Zhou took a deep breath and looked at the iron coat with some fear.

"But...that's all!"

…

…

The harsh impact sound also startled Gong Zi.

Even though Gong Zi had prepared for this battle long ago... she didn't expect that this cut would come so quickly.

Before I could react, it was all over!

Gong Zi took a deep breath, the iron coat given by Gu Shen... was really a big help!

Without hesitation, he rushed forward quickly!

This was a "ring battle" with limited space. The combat environment of the entire venue was quite narrow. Gong Zi tiptoed and shot out like a sharp arrow.

"Tear-"

Lian Zhou reacted immediately.

He retreated suddenly, and at the same time manipulated the [Paper Scissors] to pull away from the iron coat, but with an inadvertent glance after he stopped his hand... his heart froze.

This sealed object is so terrifying, it is probably also a top-notch A-level object!

Just once! The indestructible [Paper Scissors] actually broke a small corner at the sharp tip!

No time to think.

He used [Paper Scissors] again. Although Gong Zi had an iron coat to protect him, no matter how the iron coat shrouded him, it could not cover his whole body... This time he no longer cared about Gong Zi's eldest son. Identity, directly manipulate [Paper Scissors] to chop off the opponent's head!

This scene was seen by the extraordinary beings of the Gong family.

The head of the Gong family had a gloomy expression and looked at the interim grand adjudicator Zhu Wang, who was sitting across from the venue. The latter closed his eyes to rest and pretended not to hear, obviously not planning to make any move to stop him.

There was a "whoosh" sound.

Above the head, a very light tearing sound sounded again!

Gong Zi's flying body suddenly stopped for a moment.

A phantom of scissors appeared in front of him. The phantom of scissors came so fast that it appeared at this position in just a moment. Looking at it at a slower speed, it looked like Gong Zi had bumped into the paper scissors.

This move is too fast and impossible to dodge...

In fact, this was the reason why Han Dang had previously signaled Lian Zhou to take action.

Now that I have decided to win the championship of this rookie battle.

Then... the process is no longer important, offending the command post and the Gong family? If you want to win the championship, this is an inevitable fact.

Ending all this quickly is the most important thing!

[Paper Cutting] Such a sealed object is really difficult to defend. With such an object, even if I tell you clearly... I am going to attack, there is nothing you can do.

With the power of a seventh-level transcendent, it is simply impossible to dodge the attack of [Paper Scissors]!

Can't hide.

Can't bear it.

Then the result... is to lose!

Amidst the explosive sound of "buzz".

Gong Zi's pupils reflected the image of the paper scissors closing tightly!

He didn't have time to hide.

There was no hiding at all.

At the last moment... he punched out, and the majestic extraordinary source of energy condensed out, aiming at Lian Zhou's head as well.

He chose to fight!

…

…

At the moment when the second paper cut was made, Zhu Wang opened his eyes.

He looked at the palace family members across the venue.

Among the five families, Gu Bai took the lead, followed by the Gong family. As Nagano's well-deserved "giant family", the Gong family has been pursuing the principle of balance in these years.

If others do not offend me, I will not offend others.

At this moment, the expressions of the high-level transcendental beings sitting around the head of the Gong family as they looked at the seat where the ruling was being made obviously changed.

These people looked somber.

But...it was just a gloomy expression.

Unlike "Chu Chen" in the semi-finals, Gong Zi is backed by the entire Gong family. The identity of this young master determines the fact... He may lose this newcomer battle, but he will never face what Chu Chen did yesterday. That kind of trauma.

These Gong family masters did not intervene and forcibly interfered with [Paper Scissors]'s headshot.

obviously……

They were not worried that Gong Zi would be hurt by [Paper Scissors].

Zhu Wang frowned.

next moment!

"珰——"

A long and ear-splitting roar erupted in the center of the venue, and an invisible shadow of a big bell spread over the venue. The blazing fire shrouded Gong Zi's whole body, and wisps of flowing fire wrapped around her body. A huge phoenix phantom. The shadow was perched on the looming big clock, and the broken blade of [Paper Scissors] was stuck on the surface of the big clock.

Gong Zi's whole body was burning with red phoenix fire.

All his clothes were boiling in the flames, but the iron clothes were not ignited. So the original seemingly clumsy iron clothes... now showed a unique gilded color against the background of the phoenix flames. , like the legendary armor of ancient gods.

The smoke and dust in the venue slowly dispersed.

Everyone can clearly see the situation at this moment——

The two were extremely close and maintained their final confrontation.

[Paper Scissors] finally hovered at the center of Gong Zi's eyebrows. A gap was cut into the surface of a large gilt clock with a phoenix entwined in it. Countless phoenix flames flowed and gathered inward.

[Phoenix Bell] was cut by [Paper Scissors].

Perhaps it was because he suffered a setback before... The full force of [Paper Scissors] only cut a gap in [Phoenix Bell], but did not really break through the layer of defense.

On the other hand, [Paper Scissors] experienced two bruises, but its tip was completely broken.

At this moment, the extraordinary origins of the two top-level sealed objects poured out. The two energies were like water and fire, like silent undercurrents, forming a fierce struggle... On the other side of the confrontation, Gong Zi's fist was slightly deflected to one side. A little.

last moment.

He did not choose to smash Lian Zhou's head with one punch.

Instead, it shifted slightly.

Part of the reason is "mercy", and part of the reason is that the battle has been decided.

If this punch does not change the direction...then it will be an injury in exchange for death!

Under the protection of [Phoenix Bell].

Even if [Paper Scissors] can cut oneself, the damage caused is only limited.

And his punch was enough to kill Lian Zhou without the protection of the sealed object.

Gong Zi spoke expressionlessly.

Lian Zhou was in a daze, watching the fist slowly withdrawing from the side of his cheek...

"You lost."

…

…

After the smoke and dust dispersed, the venue was briefly silent for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards.

Usher in a huge explosion.

"This is... a semi-S-level sealed object [Phoenix Bell]!"

"There's also [Paper Cutting]! It's also a former S-class sealed object!"

Someone recognized the big clock and the origin of the little scissors.

The uproar suddenly became noisy.

The federal government's rating of sealed objects is very strict. According to the degree of lethality and the amount of source material contained, they are divided into S-level, A-level, B-level... several levels downwards.

A-class sealed objects are already extremely powerful and extremely forbidden objects. If they cannot be fully controlled, they will be sealed in the federal government's object confinement room to prevent them from escaping and threatening order and security.

As for the rumored "S-level" sealed objects, they are even rarer.

Very few people can see true "S-level" sealed objects because they are too difficult to control. Therefore, even if they exist, they are strictly guarded by the federal government... Looking at the entire East Continent, there are very few forces qualified to manage high-level sealed objects. And little.

Of course, the three and five schools in Nagano fall into this “very few” category.

In the past, the appearance of "A-level" sealed objects in newcomer battles was already considered big news.

This time, it was [Paper Scissors] first, and then [Phoenix Bell]. Both of these items were "former artifacts" that had fallen from the S-level rating, but no matter how you look at it... they shouldn't have appeared in the third stage of transcendence. objects in the hands of the person.

"I heard that the [Paper Cut] is Judge Zhu Wang's secret treasure... In order to win the championship, he actually gave such treasures to his disciples..."

"Are you crazy? You can also be called the Adjudicator? Now you want to be called the Grand Adjudicator!"

"Tsk...temporary..."

"Fortunately, the young master of the Gong family was prepared in advance. With the double insurance of [Phoenix Bell] and the iron coat... he could win this game..."

These whispering voices echoed throughout the smoke-filled venue.

When these sounds came into his ears, Zhu Wang, who used to have a calm expression, now looked vaguely ugly.

"The game isn't over yet!"

A feminine voice suddenly sounded.

Han Dang stood up.

The noisy venue suddenly became quiet because of Han Dang's appearance.

A powerful mental power passed through hundreds of seats. Han Dang released his [Mantra] field, but he was very measured. In front of all the big bosses, he only suppressed the noise of the venue with his mental power. The voice was recovered again.

"I want to report... someone violated the rules!"

He was expressionless and pointed out a very serious issue.

"The rules for newbie battles are that you are only allowed to bring one sealed item into the battle... This Gong family member brought two items, what should I do?"

Many noisy voices in the venue disappeared...not just because of the suppression of the [Mantra] field.

Because these spectators also realized the problem Han Dang said. If the sealed object that blocked the fatal blow of [Paper Scissors] in the end was [Phoenix Bell], then what about the iron coat at the beginning?

It’s clearly stated in the rules for newcomer battles.

All contestants are only allowed to bring one sealed item into the battle!

"Mr. Zhou... may I ask how to deal with cheaters who violate the rules in the rookie battle?"

Han Dang looked at the Chairman of the Federal Security Council across the venue.

One after another, eyes stared down.

Mr. Zhou frowned and slowly spoke out the federal regulations: "Those who violate the rules and cheat... will be expelled from the competition and have their combat results cancelled..."

Han Dang continued to ask: "So, does it count as cheating if Gong Zi carries two sealed items?"

Mr. Zhou has not spoken yet.

Beside him, a young figure slowly stood up, and at the same time, the calm voice echoed throughout the venue.

"certainly……"

"It doesn't count."

…

…

"Gu Shen..."

Han Dang stared at the young man in front of him.

His expression didn't change much, but in fact the anger in his heart was already overwhelming. In the past few days, he had stopped making trouble and did not go to trouble Gu Shen... Instead, Gu Shen took the initiative to stand up!

"I lent this iron coat to Brother Gong." Gu Shen said calmly: "This is not a sealed object at all. At best, it can only be said to be harder than ordinary steel..."

"fart!"

When Han Dang heard this, he subconsciously spoke angrily. Then he immediately realized his gaffe, quickly adjusted his expression, and asked coldly: "If you can block the attack of [Paper Scissors], do you think this is not a sealed object?"

Gu Shen smiled.

He said softly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the safety committee to investigate and test the ingredients... Mr. Zhou, why don't you go and check it now?"

Mr. Zhou looked meaningfully at Gu Shen and then at Gu Qilin.

He thought of the smiles the two of them had when they saw Tieyi...as if they understood something.

In front of the entire venue, everyone, Mr. Zhou came to Gong Zi... The flowing fire of [Phoenix Bell] slowly disappeared, [Paper Scissors] clattered to the ground, and the iron coat that was contrasted with the blazing red was no longer bright and bright. The eyes returned to their original clumsy and ugly appearance.

Mr. Zhou stretched out his finger and tapped it.

Then he used his mental power to investigate carefully.

He shook his head and said solemnly: "This is indeed just a... mortal item. It is not a sealed object."

As soon as this statement came out.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Han Dang looked stunned and in disbelief.

"May I ask Mr. Zhou... In the rookie battle competition, wearing iron clothes to fight is considered a violation of the rules?" Gu Shen said seriously and asked carefully.

"Of course it doesn't count." Mr. Zhou said slowly: "As long as it is not a sealed object... you can bring it into the venue. This is the freedom of the contestants."

Ordinary iron, no matter how processed, cannot withstand the power of extraordinary beings!

In important duels, everyone will wear some protective gear...

This iron suit is considered a "conventional protective gear", but its appearance is much uglier than those thin alloy armors.

It’s ugly, what kind of violation is this?

Zhu Wang, who never spoke, looked extremely sad.

Just now [Paper Scissors] was used for the first time.

He could see clearly.

My own treasure was defeated by Tie Yi in just one move!

Tell me, is this an ordinary product?

I really couldn't accept it... Zhu Wang couldn't sit still. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "President Zhou, you might as well take a closer look. Are you sure... you read it correctly?"

Zhou Wei's originally gentle face turned cold after hearing this.

In yesterday's duel, Lian Zhou used [paper scissors] to injure Chu Chen. It was the worst injury incident in the rookie battle in the Snow Forbidden City in the past ten years... As the chairman of the Safety Committee, Zhou Wei heard that When I heard the news, I first felt heartbroken for the poor young child, and then felt angry for my old friend Gu Qilin.

It is really unimaginable that in order to win, it was just a "point-to-point" competition, but Zhu Wang's disciples resorted to such extreme means.

But due to "express rules".

Using a pseudo-S-level sealed object [paper scissors] is not considered a violation.

No matter how much we care about this matter, it can only be regarded as Lian Zhou's "ignorance of martial ethics".

It's just [paper cutting] that hurts people... It's impossible for the Safety Committee to really take any substantive action.

So he came here today.

It was not only an explanation to an old friend, but also an expression of the safety committee's attitude... When he came to the meeting today, he told himself not to let what happened yesterday happen again.

At this moment, Zhou Wei suppressed his anger and asked softly word by word: "This... temporary grand adjudicator, are you questioning my ruling?"

The word "temporary" made the cloud on Zhu Wang's face thicker.

He stood up slowly.

The huge Grand Adjudicator's robes fluttered in the sunlight at the venue.

Zhu Wang was condescending, looking at the center of the venue under the railings.

Huge pressure oppressed the entire venue.

Zhu Wang suddenly frowned.

The [Paper Scissors] lying on the ground, with a gap broken... suddenly moved.

The lost Lian Zhou slowly raised his head.

He looked at Gong Zi.

The [paper cutouts] on the ground disappeared instantly!

The next moment, the [Paper Scissors] burst out from the void with full force, aimed at Gong Zi's forehead, and started to cut!

Ah...explain the update promised this morning.

Why do you coo? Actually there is a reason.

I have been stuck with my biological clock recently. No matter how late I sleep, I always wake up around 7am.

I originally thought about getting up and continuing writing.

Perhaps because of too little sleep, I felt uncomfortable with my heart when I woke up this morning. I didn't dare to continue writing, so I just went to catch up on my sleep... This sleep was like a blur.

Okay, I really don’t dare to set the flag randomly. 10,000 words a day is unbeatable, more updates will be made, I won’t say harsh words until I have the manuscript saved.
