Chapter 006: Genius, Nothing More

  "In front of him, Gu Chen was there......" Suddenly a loud shout came from the front, followed by a burst of footsteps, and several people rushed towards Gu Chen.

  Gu Zhen had already seen these people, four of them were the same young men who were with Gu Yang before, but now Gu Yang was nowhere to be found, and there was an additional slender and handsome young man with a proud expression, looking even younger than Gu Yang.

  Gu Chen recognized that the young man was Gu Cang, the youngest son of Gu Cang Yue, a genius disciple among the younger generation of the Gu family, who had already reached the sixth level of the Post-Heaven Realm at the age of 12.

  Gu Song and Gu Yang were about the same age, and they were also the younger grandsons of Da Zhanglao and Er Zhanglao. Since childhood, their relationship had been good. Upon learning from the four people on the side that Gu Yang had been slapped by Gu Chen, he immediately brought several people to take revenge.

  There were several bright palm prints on Gu Yang's face, which were quite obvious. He didn't dare to come out and lose face, but instead told Gu Song that this time he must give Gu Chen a severe lesson and avenge him.

  Nancheng belongs to the Yun family's sphere of influence. In order to regulate the market, fighting is prohibited in the city. However, due to the relationship between the Yun family and Gu Cangyue, if Gu Song wants to cause trouble in Nancheng, they will only turn a blind eye. Rules are made by humans, and whether they are effective or not depends on human decisions.

  Yun Chao's image in Nan Cheng is a vivid example.

  Several people quickly surrounded Gu Chen in the middle, Gu Song's sword eyebrows stood upright, pointing at Gu Chen and shouting: "You little bastard, you dare to hit your brother..."

  As the son of Gu Chongyue, the first person of the second generation of the Gu family, and himself a talented young man of the third generation of the Gu family, Gu Song was even more arrogant than Gu Yang.

  The loud shout of Gu Song made the pedestrians on the street turn around and gather to watch, and Yun Chao Yun Xue naturally ran over.

  "Gu Song Ge..." Yun Chao and Yun Xue exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with joy.

  Yun Chao's voice didn't faze Gu Chen in the slightest, but Yun Xue's voice still made him somewhat uncomfortable. Although there was no emotional connection between them, they were after all fiancé and fiancée. Earlier, Yun Xue had been silent towards him, her expression also quite disappointed. Now seeing Gu Chen, she was instead so delighted.

  Such a stark contrast, how can Gu Chen feel at ease in his heart? The feeling of Yunxue in his heart suddenly dropped a lot.

  "Yun Chao, Yun Xue's sister, wait for me to get rid of this trash, then I'll go visit your home."

  Gu Song smiled at the two of them, then turned his head to look at Gu Chen and revealed a fierce expression, saying: "Today I will let you know what is the true Gu family's martial arts. You little bastard from outside."

  Gu Song's body charged forward, and a fist struck towards Gu Chen's face.

  The day after tomorrow, six layers, with the power of six stones, compared to Gu Yang and Gu Song, their strength is a whole level higher. If you want to easily slap him a few times, unless you expose the strength of the third layer of the day after tomorrow, it's possible.

  Gu Chen would not expose his true strength, hitting Gu Yang several slaps and then fighting with Gu Song, enough to make him the focus of the entire Gu family. His ranking suddenly rose too fast, which would definitely attract special attention from some people, bringing danger to himself. With Gu Chen's current strength, he was far from being able to protect himself.

  Although he didn't want to continue being bullied in a low-key manner, he also wouldn't reveal all his secrets in front of others.

  So, facing Gu Song, Gu Chen still only used his acquired second-layer strength.

  Gu Chen's ability to easily defeat Gu Yang, who was at the Later Heaven Fifth Layer, wasn't because his strength had reached the Later Heaven Third Layer, but rather due to the accumulation of experience from his past life, his combat awareness, and his understanding of martial arts. In reality, Gu Chen's use of Later Heaven Third Layer strength didn't exceed that of the Later Heaven Second Layer by much.

  In Gu Chen's view, Gu Song's strength was strong, but his speed was too slow. In Gu Chen's eyes, it was completely like a slow motion. Although Gu Chen's current body couldn't compare to Gu Song's, dodging his attacks wouldn't be difficult either.

  Only to see Gu Song's fists bursting out with violent power, the fist shadows layered and overlapping, covering an area of one zhang in front of him.

  Gu Zhen in the boxing shadow suddenly left and right, like a lone boat on the sea, no matter how urgent the wind and waves come, that lone boat is tightly attached to the sea surface, with the waves rolling up and down, but will never sink.

  "Good... Song Ge's punch was too good, almost knocked his nose crooked."

  "Good... Brother Song's kick was too powerful, almost bursting his egg."

  "Good... Brother Song's palm strike was too good, almost chopped off his neck."

  ……

  To onlookers, Gu Song was launching a full-on attack, his fists flying in all directions, the momentum intimidating. Gu Chen was dodging and weaving through the dense flurry of punches, not daring to confront Gu Song head-on. It was clear that Gu Song had the upper hand, and every attack seemed capable of knocking Gu Chen down.

  So, every time Gu Song attacks, the four young men beside him cheer loudly. Everyone in the Gu family is convinced that Gu Cang Yue will become the head of the Gu family. These four young men naturally admire Gu Song more than Gu Yang.

  In the arena, there was only one person who felt a sense of foreboding, and that was Gǔ Sōng, who had been launching a full-on attack. At first, he thought it was just Gǔ Chén accidentally stumbling upon him and opening up his offense, but as they fought on, he realized that no matter how powerful or fast his punches were, Gǔ Chén's speed always seemed to be just a little bit faster, causing him to hit nothing but air.

  Ke Gu Chen's speed wasn't so fast that he couldn't touch his opponent, every time he brushed past the hem of their clothes. To outsiders, it looked extremely perilous, but seeing Ke Gu Chen's calm expression, Gu Song suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

  Fists brushed past Guchen's hem, and Guchen didn't even blink, apparently having a clear plan in mind, calculating GuSong's attack to a terrifyingly accurate degree. It wasn't that Guchen didn't want to dodge at all, but he thought dodging like this was enough to avoid GuSong's attack.

  Instead, Gu Song found that every time he could only brush against his opponent's clothes, thinking that his attack speed was just a little slower. So, he desperately strengthened his power and accelerated his attacks, unknowingly being guided by Gu Chen to exceed his maximum limit. Each attack was accompanied by a large loss of vital energy.

  Just after continuing the attack for twenty or so times, Gu Song felt his strength waning and a feeling of dizziness arose. The consecutive dozen or more extreme limit attacks had already caused him to lose nearly half of the spiritual energy within his body.

  Gu Song was shocked, and suddenly understood that he had been deceived by Gu Chen. He quickly controlled his attack to a range that he could bear, but the attack speed suddenly changed from extremely fast to slow. Gu Song's attack rhythm immediately fell apart, and an opening appeared.

  "Genius -- nothing more."

  At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly let out a loud shout, grasped the opportunity of Gu Song's momentary lapse, dodged Gu Song's attack, and before Gu Song could launch his next attack, his body suddenly stuck to Gu Song's side. With one move, 'Golden Vajra Wall', he thrust his right shoulder forward, hitting Gu Song's chest squarely.

  Rumor has it that the Buddha's Vajra body is indestructible, and with a single blow of his iron-like fist, he can knock down copper walls and iron fortresses. Gu Song received this one blow, and his body immediately flew backward, thrown out over ten feet away.

  "Ge Song... "

  "Brother Song..."

  Yun Chao, Yun Xue and Gu Jia's four young voices shouted out in unison.

  Just as Gu Song was about to fall to the ground, a figure suddenly appeared and caught his body. The man had a face like jade, handsome and extraordinary, and with a light push on Gu Song's back, he gently fell beside him.

  "Brother..." Yun Chao and Yun Xue exclaimed in unison.

  Gu Chen's eyes were fixed on the handsome young man in front of him, and from Yun Chao and Yun Xue's address, he already knew his identity. He was the young master of the Yun family, the eldest son of the patriarch Yun Jinghong, Yun Xuan, and the number one genius among all three generations of disciples of the Gu, Yun, and Liu families' three major cultivation clans. At just 18 years old, he had already reached the Second Heaven stage.

  "What a great phrase 'genius is nothing but this'."

  Yun Xuan snorted, his body moved, and he instantly appeared beside Gu Chen. Just as Gu Chen raised his hands, he felt them being tightly grasped, Yun Xuan's right palm sweeping over to firmly hold Gu Chen's hands in place.

  Gu Chen felt his two hands were grasped by an iron claw and couldn't move a single bit.

  Yun Xuan stared straight into Gu Chen's eyes and shouted: "Am I also just like this?"

  "Big brother, beat him to death..." Just now, Gu Song was defeated by Gu Chen, Yun Chao felt extremely unexpected, feeling like the sky had turned upside down, very unhappy. Now seeing Gu Chen being controlled by Yun Xuan, he suddenly cheered up.

  "You're nothing more than that." Gu Chen's hands were tied up, but his eyes looking at Yun Xuan didn't waver in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice.

  The onlookers' eyes widened in unison. Had they heard wrong? The first young genius of Leshui City was actually being described as 'nothing special'?

  As expected, Yun Xuan's hands tightened upon hearing this and he shouted: "You dare, just relying on you?"

  Leshui City is just a small border town compared to the Great Winning Dynasty. Gu Chen's vision is far beyond what people in Leshui City can compare with. In terms of talent, he has seen Cang Tianji in his previous life. At 18 years old, Cang Tianji had already surpassed the Xiantian realm and reached the ninth layer of Xiantian at just 10 years old. By 18 years old, he was about to break through the cycle of life and death and enter the ranks of high-ranking cultivators in the Mingquan realm.

  Compared with Cong Cang Tian Ji, what can Yun Xuan be considered as?

  Severe pain spread from his arm, Yun Xuan was already in the Innate Realm, and he could use magical tools, not to mention that the innate true energy inside his body was something Gu Chen couldn't withstand.

  However, Gu Chen didn't retreat in the slightest. His opponent in this life was Cang Tianji, and Yun Xuan wasn't even qualified to be his opponent. Gu Chen said in a deep voice, "I'll take him on."

  "Haha......" Yun Xuan was furious and laughed instead, saying: "Just because you are the number one waste of Leishui City."

  After saying this, Yun Xuan suddenly thought that it was this trash in his hand that defeated Gu Song, the genius. It seemed that calling him "trash" again didn't quite fit, and his expression became somewhat strange.

  "Don't deceive young people who are poor, Yunxuan. You were once a young person too..." Gu Chen gazed at Yunxuan.

  Yun Xuan was taken aback, then let go of his hands and burst out laughing: "Good... good sentence 'Don't bully young poor', today it's me bullying the younger one instead. I'd like to see what this young man will become in the future!"

  "You can't even imagine." Gu Chen thought to himself, ignoring the gazes of the surrounding crowd, and turned to head towards Dong City.
