Barrier of Light

Lost?

Gong Zi stayed where she was.

The crazy urge to fight was still accumulated in his chest, turning into hot blood, ready to be poured out at any time, but he knew that everything was over.

Defeated.

My momentum has been superimposed to the highest level and cannot be higher.

This is Baixiu's "laissez-faire".

He wanted to see how far he could go.

So Gong Zi "cherished" the opportunity given by Bai Xiu.

Just like he "cherishes" this battle!

The moment he invited Bai Xiu to fight with him... Gong Zi was prepared to fail. He wanted to see how big the gap between himself and Nagano Invincible was.

But the real results came out.

Something seemed to be broken in his heart.

Gong Zi knew... Baixiu's way of letting him superimpose his fighting spirit was not humiliation, but respect.

Bai Xiu wants to see his full power.

He tried his best, but it wasn't even close.

A complete victory in physical skills.

The difference in control of combat timing.

And the crushing of the final field showdown.

"Every link" involved in this battle... he lost miserably, and the most painful thing for Gong Zi was that he faced Bai Xiu, who was on an equal footing with him and was on the "seventh floor of the deep water zone".

He could see that from the beginning to the end of this battle, Bai Xiu did not use power higher than the "seventh level" to attack him.

After saying "acceptance", Bai Xiu left the venue.

Everyone in the audience had complicated expressions as they stood up and prepared to leave.

The newcomer war has ended.

The battle between Gong Zi and Bai Xiu...has also ended.

Today is a very "memorable" day.

There is no doubt that this is the highest-quality rookie battle in the past twenty years. However, Lian Zhou was defeated, the young master of the Gong family who successfully understood the Dream of Fire, and countless geniuses who fell along the way... all became Bai. Sleeve foil.

…

…

Gong Zi stood alone.

The joy of comprehending the "Dream of Fire" in my heart was shattered into pieces and disappeared.

He lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Standing alone in the middle of the venue.

Zhou Wei, chairman of the committee, patted the young man on the shoulder and withdrew from the final field without saying anything.

The figures dispersed one after another, and there were not many people left in the huge venue.

Gu Shen is still there, Shen Li is still there, the elders of the Gong family are still there...

In addition, Gong Zi's "best friend" Mu Nan is also there, but everyone in the Mu family has almost left.

Gu Shen noticed that there was a young woman sitting where the Mu family was sitting. She sat quietly in the corner and did not leave, choosing to wait silently.

Shen Li came to Gu Shen's side.

The little iron man said in a complicated voice: "Although he lost... he was already amazing..."

He didn't dare to say this to Gong Zi, so he could only whisper to Gu Shen.

This is actually what he really thinks.

Losing is not scary, but being timid before fighting is scary!

Facing Baixiu, how many people dare to challenge Gong Zi head-on?

Finally, he won the championship of the rookie battle and understood the "Dream of Fire". This is a great opportunity to build momentum once in ten years. I would rather give up than choose to challenge Baixiu... This kind of thing, ask yourself, Shen Li thought. Do it, but can’t do it.

Gu Shen was about to speak but stopped.

He didn't say anything, just sat silently in the first row, waiting for Gong Zi to recover.

The elders of the Gong family did not dare to step forward, let alone disturb him.

After a long time.

Gong Zi took a deep breath and regained her energy.

He immediately walked towards the first row, but he did not go in the direction of his family, but in the direction of Gu Shen.

This comes as a surprise to many people.

"Brother Gu..."

Gong Zi held Tie Yi, calmed down her emotions, and said slowly: "Without your Tie Yi, I would not have won so easily against Lian Zhou."

"polite……"

Gu Shen shook his head, took the iron coat, and said seriously: "You deserve to win the championship."

Judging from the killing power that Gong Zi unleashed when facing Baixiu.

Even without the iron suit.

This battle...he will most likely win!

Lian Zhou was able to break through the "pseudo-seventh level" by relying on his mental link authority. To put it bluntly, his mental power was not stable... If he fought with all his strength, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long and he would be defeated.

What's more, apart from the iron clothes, Gong Zi still has the protection of a top-notch sealed object like [Phoenix Bell].

Without the Iron Clothes, [Paper Scissors] will most likely cut into pieces [Phoenix Bell], and both sealed objects will suffer huge damage. Then Gong Zi will win with strength... It will indeed cost more, but the result will not change. .

"In addition, I also want to thank you..."

Gong Zi took a deep breath again and said: "If it weren't for you... Bai Xiu wouldn't have fought with me."

Hear this.

Shen Li was startled and looked at Gu Shen in surprise.

What does it mean?

Bai Xiu's attitude at the beginning did not look like he wanted to fight... Was it Gu Shen's reason for agreeing to fight in the end?

Gong Zi saw it clearly.

His attention was always on Bai Xiu... It was obvious that Bai Xiu didn't want to fight with him.

It was only at the last moment that I heard something.

Only then did I choose to stand up.

Gong Zi caught Bai Xiu's inadvertent expression change.

He was not stupid, and he could vaguely guess that Gu Shen must have said something on his behalf.

"no need to thank me."

Gu Shen still shook his head and said softly: "This is the battle you deserve."

Although most of the time, I am in retreat.

But Gu Shen saw what happened in the yard, and he knew very well... Gong Zi had put a lot of effort into the "Dream of Fire" and the "Newcomer Battle". In fact, the mountain that Gong Zi really had to face was... It's not the green fire of enlightenment, nor the competition in the Snow Forbidden City.

But white sleeves.

This is the mountain that countless geniuses who dream of becoming the "God Throne" must overcome!

Inevitable.

That man stood on top of a mountain in front of thousands of people.

…

…

The Gong family still held a "celebration banquet".

Although he lost to Baixiu, Gong Zi is still the well-deserved "top genius" in the Snow Forbidden City. Understanding the "Dream of Fire" is quite a big news.

In the Deepwater Forum, those who did not come to the finals in person sighed.

After Gong Zi won the rookie battle championship, she was defeated miserably by Bai Xiu. This news caused an uproar.

Some people lamented that if purple is born, why should sleeves be born?

Some comments also mentioned "Gu Shen"... Many people thought that if Gu Shen participated, he would be like this, and he might not even be Gong Zi's opponent.

Not long ago, Gong Zi invited Gu Shen to attend a dinner party at the Gong family.

At that time, Gu Shen excused himself once on the grounds that he was "busy with work."

But this time, he didn't shirk.

Of course, part of the reason is that things have been quiet recently.

Another bigger reason is that Gu Shen is sincerely happy for Gong Zi...

The dinner was held in a manor in the Snow Forbidden City.

The arrangements for the entire dinner were very relaxed. The Gong family had set up seats on the lawn, so you could sit and take your meals freely.

Gu Shen stood alone in the corner.

He habitually found a remote and deserted place and silently watched the flow of people gathered at the banquet not far away. It can only be said that he is worthy of being one of the five great families. The Miya family's celebration banquet tonight attracted many "celebrities" from Nagano's aristocratic families.

He saw many familiar faces.

Many people from the top five families and the younger generation came here.

"Brother Gu."

Bai Lu changed into a white evening dress, changing her previous image of a "witch" with pure makeup. She came to Gu Shen holding a wine glass. The moment she spoke, Gu Shen almost didn't recognize her.

"Miss Bai." Gu Shen clinked glasses politely.

Since the last time Bai Lu came to Chunyuguan and thanked Xiao Xiu, his impression of this crazy woman has changed a lot.

Recalling that when she first came to Nagano, Shiro had made many obstacles to herself...but in the end, she always ended up at a disadvantage.

In Gu Shen's view, Bai Lu's little tricks were nothing compared to Han Dang.

Since I have taken the name of "S-class", I have to bear part of the hostility.

In fact, there is no "grievance" between him and Bai Lu. After explaining the words and resolving the hostility, Liang Zi will naturally be gone.

One more enemy is worse than one more friend.

"Little Sleeve is willing to fight today... It should be you. What did you say?" Bai Lu took a sip of wine and spoke softly.

Gu Shen smiled, neither denying nor admitting.

"Anyway, thank you." Bai Lu said seriously: "Xiaoxiu is a very stubborn person, and it is difficult to change the things he decides. Without your words...he will most likely not go to war."

"No need to thank me." Gu Shen wrote lightly: "I didn't say those words to consider the reputation of the Bai family."

Bai Lu was slightly startled.

Gu Shen saw it clearly.

At the last moment, Bai Lu persuaded Bai Xiu to fight... probably because he was worried about the consequences of "refusing to fight". The Bai family was at the height of its power. If Bai Xiu did not accept the challenge of "Rookie Battle Champion", even if he was famous, he would still be questioned.

Baixiu doesn't care about these names.

But the Bai family cares.

"Sometimes, it's better for people to live more relaxedly." Gu Shen said lightly: "But you, Miss Bai, dare to come to the Gong family's celebration banquet. You are really brave..."

Looking around, it seemed that only one person from the Bai family appeared.

Thinking about it carefully, the appearance of the Bai family at the Gong family's celebration banquet is really inappropriate... Bai Xiu had just defeated Gong Zi, and the popularity of this incident almost overshadowed the news of comprehending the Dream of Fire.

If the Bai family attends this celebration banquet again, it will inevitably be a bit overwhelming.

Even somewhat provocative.

"So I'm the only one here."

"I came here specifically to see you, and I will leave after drinking this glass of wine." Bai Lu smiled slightly, looked around the venue, and said softly: "I guess no one will argue with a... crazy woman like me, right?"

She reread the words "crazy woman" mockingly.

"In this situation, the word "weak woman" is more suitable for you. Don't worry, the Gong family will not argue with you." Gu Shen rarely added another word to the situation, but replaced the three words and said softly: "But... ...If you want to see me, you can do it at any time. There is no need to come to the celebration party to meet me."

"Is necessary."

Bai Lu's smile gradually faded, and she said slowly: "The reason why I came to see you today is because Xiaoxiu has begun to retreat. In the next year, she should not leave the Bai clan's ancestral hall."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

"Xiaoxiu asked me to bring you a message."

Bai Lu looked complicated and said word by word: "If possible, he would like to fight with you in the days to come."

If this sentence spreads, I am afraid it will cause an uproar.

After the rookie battle.

S-level Gu Shen has been forgotten by many people... Now almost no one goes to Chunyu Temple to challenge this "Nagano newcomer". Part of the reason is that Gu Shen is low-key enough, and part of the reason is that most people in the Snow Forbidden City do not He thinks Gu Shen is a monster as famous as Bai Xiu.

A mountain-top figure like Baixiu is already an invincible evil genius in everyone's mind.

Are there really any opponents who want to fight?

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, even Bai Lu himself wouldn't believe it.

She knew that Gu Shen had extraordinary potential, and she had personally tested this young man's true and false abilities in the "Dream of Thorns"... But no matter how she looked at him, she should not be able to catch Xiao Xiu's eyes.

She has always been proud of Xiaoxiu's achievements.

So when Gu Shen stepped into Nagano, obtained the name of "S-level", and was compared with Shirayuki, she felt dissatisfied.

Now these hostilities have been resolved.

She still couldn't quite understand the importance Xiaoxiu attached to Gu Shen.

What kind of feeling is this?

Cherish each other, are we both enemies and friends?

But in the final analysis, these two people should have only met twice!

Gu Shen's next answer resolved the difficulty in Bai Lu's heart.

Gu Shen smiled and said calmly: "When I catch up, I will fight him."

The road to spiritual practice requires climbing to the top of a mountain.

Although there are thousands of people, I will go.

Gu Shen knew very well that the white sleeves that stood in front of countless geniuses in Nagano were also a big mountain standing in front of him!

Bai Lu was startled.

Gu Shen used the word "chasing".

This shows that... he also knows that there is a big gap between himself and Xiaoxiu.

Do not know why.

Hearing Gu Shen admit that she was not as good as Xiaoxiu, Bai Lu was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile. She drank the wine in one gulp and said with a sweet smile: "Very good...I will pass this sentence on unchanged." Small sleeves.”

Looking at Bai Lu's retreating figure.

Gu Shen was a little confused.

Which of the last words he said touched this crazy woman's nerves? Why are you so happy?

…

…

"Brother Gu, why are you so reserved! What are you doing there... We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

After Bai Lu left, Mu Nan walked over quickly, and he eagerly greeted Gu Shen to sit down with him.

Gu Shen followed.

After arriving, I realized that this table was filled with acquaintances who often came to the small courtyard... Shen Li, Fatty Luo, Senior Sister Nan Jin, Li Qingsui, and Uncle Gao who was always escorting the little girl Qingsui.

"They're all here, and I'm the only one missing?" Gu Shen was startled, a little surprised.

"Of course, sit down quickly." Mu Nan chuckled and said, "If that witch hadn't looked so scary, I would have dragged you away..."

Gu Shen smiled helplessly.

It turns out that Mu Nan is afraid of Bai Lu... But that's true. At this moment, this crazy woman dares to go to the banquet alone. Even the people passing by want to stay away for fear of provoking someone.

After sitting down, Gu Shen drank a glass of wine and found out that there was a strange woman.

This is a young woman with short hair, wearing a plain dress, with an elegant face and light makeup. She is sitting with Lu Nanjin. Senior Sister Nanjin, who has always said little, actually smiles for the first time, even though it is just a faint smile. But it's surprising enough.

The two of them were whispering and talking about something.

Take a closer look.

This is not a "strange woman" either... Gu Shen had seen her once when the meeting ended today.

When they looked at each other, the short-haired woman Mu Ya stood up and bowed to Gu Shen.

"I've met Brother Gu." She smiled very cleanly, with shallow dimples on both sides of her cheeks, and her voice was soft and soft.

People from the five major families all like to practice ancient etiquette.

"You're welcome." Gu Shen quickly returned the salute and asked with a smile, "Who is this?"

"This is my sister, Mu Ya." Mu Nan scratched his head and quickly introduced her, not forgetting to add, "Sister."

Gu Shen was slightly startled.

Sister, biological sister?

Although I guessed the approximate identity, this was really beyond my expectation...

Because the image between the two is very different.

Moonan was probably as wide as four or five of his sisters.

"Really?" Shen Li leaned over and patted Munan's Maitreya Buddha-like belly, pretending to be serious: "I don't believe it."

Mu Nan was not angry at all, he laughed and said: "Are you envious? In fact, we are still twins..."

twin?

Gu Shen's expression became more complicated.

Chu Ling's voice rang in his mind: "As far as I know, there is a certain probability of differences between fraternal twins... But with such a big image gap, I can only say that it requires considerable effort."

"Our table was deliberately arranged by Lao Gong." Mu Nan said with a smile: "He said that after today, it will be difficult to see the big people gathering together in the courtyard of Chunyu Temple, so I hope everyone can have a good gathering today. Come back."

"That's what you said..." Li Qingsui held the juice and smacked his mouth, "Why does it sound weird?"

"Old Palace, he decided... to leave Nagano and go out for training."

Mu Nan lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

This news surprised everyone...

"Shh, don't spread the word. Lao Gong just told me about this person." Seeing the strange expressions on several people's faces, Mu Nan quickly raised his index finger.

next moment.

An arm wrapped around Mu Nan's neck.

"How many times have I told you...don't call me, Lao Gong..."

Gong Zi didn't know when he appeared behind Mu Nan. He casually glanced at the people on the table. They were all familiar old friends of Chun Yu Guan. He gritted his teeth and hugged Mu Nan.

"Sister...save me..."

Mu Nan's voice came out with difficulty.

sister?

Only then did Gong Zi catch a glimpse of someone else on the table. He quickly let go of his hand, smiled sheepishly at the elegant woman, and quickly explained: "That... is actually just a joke..."

Perhaps because of drinking a little wine, Mu Ya's cheeks turned slightly red.

"Um……"

She glanced at Mu Nan, who was blushing and relieved, and said understandingly, "It's okay, as long as he's not dead."

Mu Nan: "???"
