Barrier of Light

White sleeves.

A name that weighs down all the new generation of young people in Nagano.

After Bai Xiu came to Nagano and started practicing, another meaning of this name was "invincible".

…

…

Flying red fire swayed over the dojo.

Gong Zi's voice echoed.

At this moment, he expressed the deep thoughts of many geniuses in Nagano.

The young geniuses practicing in the Snow Forbidden City are like mountaineers. Whenever they look up, they will find... someone has already reached the top of the mountain.

And that person is Baixiu.

Who doesn’t want to challenge Baixiu?

It's just that most geniuses are very clear in their hearts...the huge gap between themselves and the man on the top of the mountain.

"Little Lord……"

The expressions of the elders of the Gong family who were originally crying with joy changed.

They had no idea that after successfully comprehending the Dream of Fire, Gong Zi would challenge Bai Xiu in front of everyone!

From the perspective of family interests, this is not a wise move.

As the first genius to comprehend the Dream of Fire in Nagano for twenty years, after completing the rookie battle and enlightenment... everything should be over. The Gong family will hold the highest-level celebration banquet for Gong Zi, and make a high-profile announcement at the banquet. Gong Zi’s inheritance as the head of the family.

Today, Nagano focuses on one person.

The head of the Gong family had a slightly complicated expression, and he gestured to the elders of the Gong family to keep quiet.

"Feel sorry……"

Gong Zi's voice came to the head of the family's ears.

"Father, this is what I've always wanted to do."

Gong Zi's eyes were firmer than ever before.

Before joining the war, there was a voice that often lingered in his mind.

If... everything he did was for the dream of becoming the "God Seat".

So why avoid White Sleeves?

Avoid White Sleeves and win the Dream of Fire... If the enlightenment is successful, it seems that you have passed the first test of the "God's Throne".

But in reality?

He can't get over the hurdle in his heart!

Even though tens of thousands of people have come to me for the name of the God’s Throne!

If you are afraid of the person standing on the top of the mountain, then...why go hiking again?

But now, Gong Zi has successfully understood the "Dream of Fire" and surpassed all the geniuses in the Snow Forbidden City over the years, but he only has one thought in his heart.

That is...battle!

He wants to challenge Baixiu, even if he loses...it doesn't matter!

When she said that sentence, Gong Zi's voice was trembling faintly.

Both excited and nervous.

Everyone sitting in the audience looked at each other, and then the entire venue quickly became excited... What is your biggest regret this year?

Baixiu did not participate in the war!

And the rookie champion challenges Baixiu in public... isn't this what everyone wants to see?

"Is he... crazy?"

Shen Li murmured to himself. He looked at Gong Zi standing proudly in the center of the field, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

This guy... seems to be different from the one I usually know.

Immediately, Shen Li's fingers sank into his palm.

He knew that it actually took a lot of courage to say such a light sentence.

If...it was him who was standing here today, would he dare to say this?

The answer seems obvious.

He calls himself a "martial fool"...but facing Baixiu on the top of the mountain, he doesn't even have the courage to fight.

…

…

[Huang Zhong] was put aside by Gong Zi.

Tie Yi was also thrown to the ground by Gong Zi.

Gu Shen knew... this was to have a "fair fight" with Bai Xiu. The real purpose was not to win.

For most extraordinary people, the road to spiritual practice is a long road with no end in sight.

In practice, the most important thing is to cultivate the "heart".

If possible, people would avoid the fear in their hearts and wait until they are stronger before standing up and facing that primitive fear.

This is a natural reaction.

Gu Shen also knew that when he came to Nagano, the reason why there was a bustling crowd in front of Chunyu Temple and everyone wanted to challenge him... was because they were not afraid of him.

In front of Bai Xiu's door, it was deserted.

It's because... over the years, he has become a shadow in the hearts of the geniuses in the Snow Forbidden City.

Gu Shen still remembered Gong Zi's unwillingness and bitterness when she mentioned Bai Xiu's name in the small courtyard.

A proud genius, knowing that he was bound to lose, faced an invincible person and said the word "battle".

Presumably... Gong Zi must have gone through a lot of struggles in her heart.

"war……"

"war!"

"war!"

In the spectator seats at the venue, someone shouted in agreement, and soon the sound echoed like a wave. Nagano was eager to fight, and everyone in the three schools and five schools also encouraged the extraordinary people under their command to compete with each other.

And Baixiu, who had been standing on the top of the mountain for a long time, had not made a move for a long time.

He has no opponent.

Countless voices swept the venue.

Gong Zi quietly waited for his opponent's response, his eyes locked on the boy in white in the first row.

Bai Xiu's expression remained unchanged.

Facing the calls for battle and the expectations of countless people... he remained indifferent, as if he was not ready to stand up or accept the challenge.

Bai Lu, who was beside him, whispered: "Xiaoxiu, aren't you ready to take action?"

Baixiu shook his head: "It's unfair for me to take action..."

This answer... is actually very true.

After returning from the tundra, he has reached the realm of great perfection on the ninth level of the deep water area. This is almost the fastest practice record in the history of the Eastern Continent Federation. And with Baixiu's own ability, I am afraid that he can cross the border and reach the tenth level at this moment. There is not much pressure in fighting.

Compared with Gong Zi, he is the one who truly stands on the top of the mountain.

In his opinion, it makes no difference whether the geniuses in the Snow Forbidden City, those hard-working climbers...are halfway up the mountain or at the bottom.

Too far off.

"I'm afraid it's not good for so many people to refuse the war..."

Bai Lu said softly: "The reputation of the Bai family..."

Baixiu's expression remained unchanged.

His attitude seemed very determined.

Seeing this situation, Bai Lu could only sigh.

Although the mental transmission between the two people was not heard by outsiders, their reactions were seen by others.

Bai Lu persuaded something.

And Bai Xiu shook his head.

This action... seems obvious.

Is this to...reject?

He stared at Baixiu nervously, waiting for the other party's response...

After seeing this subtle movement, Gong Zi's eyes were a little disappointed.

And the next moment.

Baixiu seemed to hear something.

Baixiu raised his head slightly, his expression calm, but there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. His eyes quickly glanced at the opposite position of the venue...that was Gu Shen's position.

Amidst the tide of shouts.

Baixiu slowly stood up.

It was beyond Bai Lu's expectation.

Baixiu spoke softly and said only one word: "Okay."

…

…

Bai Xiu stood up from the first row and came to the venue.

He bowed slightly to President Zhou Wei and said softly: "Please, Mr. Zhou...as a witness of this battle, please open the territory in advance to avoid affecting innocent people."

Zhou Wei smiled and nodded.

He slowly stepped back, and at the same time raised his crutch and lightly touched the ground.

A layer of ripples immediately spread out, and the invisible water wave spread out from the center of the venue, like a huge bubble, covering the two of them.

Gong Zi took a deep breath.

He didn't say much, opened his fists, looked directly at the young man in white in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Gong family, Gong Zi!"

After comprehending the Dream of Fire, Gong Zi's mental power was at an unprecedented peak.

There was a faint flame lingering around his body.

That was not the remnant of the [Phoenix Bell], but the blazing flames carried by his own ability. The strands of crimson phoenix fire vaguely formed a huge divine shadow behind him.

It was like a floating and upright divine figure with a human face and a feather crown, its huge wings slowly spread out, and the falling flames were like divine radiance.

"[Garuda]."

spectating seats.

Gu Qilin smiled and spoke softly to Gu Shen: "This is one of the totems of the Gong family. If you can dig through the fog in the clear tomb, you can see that among the ruins of the giant statue... there is a statue of a god, carved It’s this ancient god.”

Sit in the front row.

Even with Zhou Wei's domain protection, Gu Shen still felt the hot wind blowing towards his face.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the divine figure.

It is also "fire", but Blazing Fire has no reaction to it... It seems that its own flames are not swallowing everything. This is a completely different power from "Blood Fire", and it seems to be purely natural.

According to what Mr. Gu said, this Garuda was carved on the stone sculpture of the Colossus ruins?

Then the origin of the Miya family's bloodline... is probably related to the history of Nagano six hundred years ago.

Hot wind lingers.

Fire and rain splashed.

Standing opposite Gong Zi in white clothes and sleeves.

He raised his head and looked up at the huge ancient god, his expression still calm, without awe or blasphemy.

He still bowed slightly.

"Bai family, Baixiu."

Between the two of them, there were not too many words, and there were no polite words or greetings.

They just bowed to each other.

This is all "communication".

next moment.

The huge divine figure roared angrily, its wings suddenly extended, and struck hard at Baixiu. The two huge wings soared dozens of meters in an instant, almost embracing the entire venue in its "embrace", a pair of fire The wings slid close to the ground. Along the way, countless earth and rocks exploded, and fire and wind splashed, as if they were about to scrape three inches of the ground, killing people in these wings!

At the same time, Gong Zi started running.

His speed was faster than the double attack speed of the fire wings. He rushed to Bai Xiu in just a moment. He delivered dozens or hundreds of punches in one go. Countless fist shadows burst out from the center of the fire wind in the venue!

Just a moment!

The roaring sound of the fists penetrated the air, shattering all the tempered glass inside and outside the venue. Gong Zi's fists penetrated and hit the bubble field. The water rippled and the punches were raised one by one. print.

As Baixiu said.

This battle...if there is no domain protection, then it is very likely that innocent people in the spectator seats will be injured!

The fire and wind burst out like a tornado!

Most of the spectators lost their vision. They could only see two figures submerged in the blazing fire. One of the figures punched extremely fast, and the speed could no longer be captured. The sound in Chuanyin's ear was penetrating. There was a roaring and muffled sound from the field, as well as the sound of shattering large swaths of glass outside the venue!

Judging from the blurred vision.

The scene seemed completely suppressed!

The person who punched almost had all the opportunities -

However, those extraordinary people sitting in the first row and those with powerful strength can penetrate the field with their eyes and see the scene inside extremely clearly. The scene they see in their eyes is not a one-sided suppression.

Every punch Gong Zi throws is very fast.

And it's very stable.

He is indeed worthy of being the rookie champion of this year, and he is worthy of the reputation of being the first person to realize the "Dream of Fire" in twenty years.

With such punching power, in the final showdown, it only takes one blow to break Lian Zhou's head!

only……

This time he faced Bai Xiu.

The figure in white clothes had never moved a step since he entered the venue. His feet were on the stone surface of the venue, and he did not even move forward or backward.

He just stood here.

He calmly welcomed Gong Zi's "attack" like a sudden storm!

His upper body suddenly shook, and countless shadows appeared. This was a very small "trembling". Every "trembling" could avoid Gong Zi's fist, no more, no less, his cheeks, body, arms, every Every hit point was perfectly dodged... If you moved a little less, you would be hit, if you moved a little more, it would be too much.

"Gong Zi's winning rate is...0.01%."

Chu Ling's voice came to her mind. She was also watching this battle and used [Deep Sea] to simulate Gong Zi's real-time winning rate.

From an outsider’s perspective.

It was Gong Zi who took control of the situation and suppressed it.

But from the perspective of [Deep Sea], Gong Zi's winning rate in this battle is only one in ten thousand, and the remaining "one" may be the database's conservative estimate of the unknown situation.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shen's expression changed slightly.

He suddenly thought of an old friend.

Song Ci.

Song Ci's physical skills were unrivaled in the metropolitan area, and this guy would also experience similar "tremors" during battles. His own explanation for this phenomenon was...an innate reaction.

Indeed, Song Ci was born to be a prodigy in physical combat.

Judging from Baixiu's reaction...this seems to be not only a talent, but also a fighting skill.

"This kind of trembling is called [complete flash]."

Mr. Gu Qilin glanced at Gu Shen and noticed the subtle change in the latter's expression. Youyou said, "[Full Flash] is an extremely high state after the perfect coordination of mental power and physical body. Mastering [Full Flash], almost It can be considered that under the title, one is invincible at the same level. From now on, the winner can be decided... The little guy from the Gong family is very courageous, but the gap between him and Baixiu is really too big."

Complete flash...

Gu Shen remembered what Mu Nan once said. In a friendly family battle, Mu Nan and Bai Xiu fought against each other, and Mu Nan, who was famous for his physical skills, lost completely.

Baixiu's strength lies not only in ability.

His physical skills...are also invincible.

…

…

In the violent wind and rain, Bai Xiu could only dodge but not attack. He allowed Gong Zi's attacks to cover up one layer after another, and his momentum surged one after another.

This seems to mean "letting" the opponent continue to increase his fighting spirit.

In a duel, momentum is a very important thing.

If you can have "power", you can "win" under certain circumstances!

Gong Zi took a deep breath. He seized the opportunity given to him by Baixiu, tried his best to burn all his strength, and unleashed a more powerful attack than before. His fists, elbows and knees, and his whole body turned into sharp weapons. Three feet away, he attacked Baixiu crazily.

But this time, he still couldn't touch that corner of the sleeve.

Baixiu's [Full Flash] frequency became even higher, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a shadow, with a vague thundering figure, as if it had never really existed in this world!

Gong Zi is in the waves.

Baixiu just let the other party pile up the waves.

No matter how high Gong Zi stacks up... Baixiu will always be a little taller than him.

Always a little higher.

That's... very high.

All this happened in a very short time. Just when Gong Zi was about to run out of breath, [Garuda]'s double-wing attack finally arrived——

Countless rocks and heat waves tightly closed the space in front of Gong Zi. There would be no chance of escape this time!

The wings of the ancient god fold together!

Like a big cocoon, completely closed!

Bai Xiu no longer dodges.

The shadows all over his body froze at the moment before his wings closed together, and he just watched calmly as Gong Zi's last punch hit him in the face!

There was a "buzz" sound.

…

…

The whole world is quiet.

All the glass above the venue was broken.

The ground of the gymnasium was also plowed, opening up hundreds of ravines.

Gong Zi's fist did not fall on Bai Xiu's face.

The punch was empty.

No one saw how Bai Xiu moved.

He disappeared in front of Gong Zi.

Appeared behind Gong Zi.

Two fingers gently pressed against the back of Gong Zi's neck.

Zhou Wei's blister field was almost deformed by the support, and there were two huge fingers that stretched the field to the point of bursting.

And the huge ancient god [Garuda] spread out his wings and tightly closed the space in front of him... From the perspective of the spectator seats, this posture was more like hugging Gong Zi with his back. Protecting Gong Zi.

Two fingers of white sleeves.

It doesn't look aggressive at all.

It was just a gentle pressure on the back of Gong Zi's neck...but in fact, the contact was already a victory.

Gong Zi, who summoned [Garuda], has a "domain" of his own.

And this area has been broken through.

The power of those two fingers tore apart all the "flesh" of [Garuda]. The ancient god's drooped head was silent, but there was a faint look of pain on his face, and the huge fire wings flashed with thunder. , after struggling for a moment, he was finally unable to hang down.

The two fire wings were shattered into pieces.

And [Garuda] finally disappeared in the sky above the gym in the posture of "embracing" Gong Zi.

The venue was so quiet that you could hear the needle drop.

Baixiu slowly retracted his fingers.

The judges, presiding judges, commanders, family heads, elders... everyone sitting in the first row had complicated expressions.

Compared to the outcome of this battle.

They were more concerned about Baixiu's strength... and they could see it in the showdown with Gong Zi just now.

Baixiu didn't use high-level power at all.

He suppressed his own strength and dropped to the same level as Gong Zi.

The seventh floor, to the seventh floor.

This is a very fair fight.

Judging from the results of this battle... it is no longer appropriate to use the word victory.

It should be, crush.

After the young man in white stopped his attack, he still bowed his head as before, and spoke softly, saying two words.

"Concession."
