Utterly Outrageous—So What Exactly Are You?
Utterly Outrageous—So What Exactly Are You?
“Gu Changge, what are you doing here?”
Hearing those teasing words, Gu Xianer couldn’t help but ask with an icy expression. She had never once given Gu Changge a pleasant tone or a friendly face.
In front of others, she was always calm and composed, but only in front of Gu Changge would she be unable to hold back emotions like anger and fury.
“You still haven’t answered my question.”
Gu Changge spoke with a light chuckle, completely unbothered by Gu Xianer’s gaze, which looked as if she wanted to devour him whole.
Hearing this, Chu Wuji felt a wave of displeasure in his heart. What did he mean, he was Gu Xianer’s suitor?
As a prince of the Great Chu Celestial Dynasty, did he need to pursue anyone?
With a single word from him, what heaven-blessed maiden wouldn’t deliver herself to his door?
Although he knew this was just Gu Changge’s mockery, he was still annoyed, and his expression turned rather ugly—especially with the way Gu Changge was ignoring him.
“Shixiong Chu Wuji escorted me to the Skyward Path. He is not my suitor.”
Gu Xianer furrowed her delicate brows as she spoke, not understanding what trick Gu Changge was trying to pull this time.
Hearing this, Gu Changge put on a look of sudden realization.
Then, with a touch of regret, he said, “So that’s how it is. What a pity. As your brother, I was hoping you could help me vet him—otherwise, any random stray cat or dog would think they could set their sights on you.”
Gu Xianer scoffed at his words. Naturally, she didn’t believe a word of Gu Changge’s nonsense.
Though she did feel like he was implying something?
Could Gu Changge be standing up for her?
She found that hard to believe.
“Shimei Xianer is about to attempt the Skyward Path. Gu Changge, are you trying to stop her? This was the Great Elder’s instruction.”
At this moment, hearing Gu Changge actually call him some stray cat or dog,
Chu Wuji’s face immediately darkened as he addressed Gu Changge, directly invoking the Great Elder’s name.
No matter how much they had clashed before, Gu Changge had never spoken like this in front of a crowd.
“The Great Elder, so what? Do you think he would interfere in matters between peers?”
Gu Changge was utterly unconcerned at these words, sweeping a casual, indifferent glance over him.
“Besides, I’m talking with my sister. What exactly are you?”
These words instantly turned Chu Wuji’s face the color of pig liver, alternating between green and white, his fury no longer containable.
Being provoked and humiliated by Gu Changge again and again.
No matter how good his self-restraint or how deep his scheming, he couldn’t take it anymore.
And this was in public, in front of everyone.
If he swallowed this, how could he ever show his face in the Beyond again? He might as well throw his dignity away entirely.
They were both Young Prodigies—why should he endure his humiliation?
“Gu Changge, don’t you think you’re going too far?” Chu Wuji’s face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.
“And what if I am going too far against you?” Gu Changge remained as casual and unconcerned as ever.
He had long wanted to make a move against Chu Wuji; he just hadn’t found the right opportunity.
He refused to believe that Chu Wuji would still endure it in a situation like today’s.
“You...” Chu Wuji’s expression had turned unsightly to the extreme, his rage on the verge of erupting.
No matter how steady and calculating he usually was, at this moment he couldn’t hold back.
This scene immediately caused a huge uproar in the surroundings.
Before they got to see Gu Xianer ascend the Skyward Path, they first witnessed a clash between Gu Changge and another Direct Disciple.
Many people grew excited and thrilled—after all, a battle between Direct Disciples was a rare sight!
No one had expected Gu Changge’s attitude to be so arrogant, not putting Chu Wuji, a fellow Direct Disciple, in his eyes at all.
Everyone knew Gu Changge was strong.
But those who could become Direct Disciples naturally had their own strengths, outstanding talent, and were each a Young Prodigy in their own right.
Who among them was weak?
At this moment, many people grew excited and stirred—even quite a few elders were the same.
Conflict between peers was perfectly normal; it was just that rarely did anyone provoke someone so openly in public, looking ready to start a fight.
The other two Direct Disciples who had come here—one named Tian Yang, the other named Zhong Tianyuan—appeared atop the mountain peaks, shrouded in various radiances. Watching this scene, their expressions were now grave.
“Chu Wuji’s strength is unfathomable. One-on-one, we might not be his match, but Gu Changge is clearly even stronger...”
“In this battle, Chu Wuji’s chances of victory are slim. But if he backs down, his Dao Heart will surely be damaged.”
“Losing a battle is a small matter—one can break and rebuild. But once the Dao Heart is damaged, there will be no more chances in the future...”
As the two spoke, their expressions grew even more solemn.
As Young Prodigies, one must firmly believe in one’s own invincibility and sweep aside all peers. If he backed down just like this? Then what was there left to fight for?
So they were certain—this battle would definitely happen.
Without a doubt.
“I’d like to see where you get the ability to humiliate me like this!”
Chu Wuji roared in fury and struck out at Gu Changge directly.
Everyone nearby was shocked and retreated in haste.
Only Yin Mei felt in her heart that Chu Wuji was courting death.
Gu Changge’s strength was far beyond what he could imagine. Just the power he showed on the surface was not something an ordinary Young Prodigy could contend with.
At this moment, Gu Xianer also turned her full attention over. She wanted to know just how strong Gu Changge had become.
“Dragon Fist! That’s the famous signature technique of the Great Chu Celestial Dynasty!”
Someone couldn’t help but cry out, recognizing Chu Wuji’s move.
Boom!
As Chu Wuji thrust out this palm, it represented a supreme treasured technique.
Runes interwove upon it, forming the shape of a dragon, clawing toward Gu Changge—yet also like a crimson-gold millstone, capable of grinding away all enemies in the world!
That aura was extremely domineering.
Just its diffusion alone was enough to terrify—supremely hard, supremely yang.
Even from far away, many disciples felt as if their bodies were about to split apart.
“How terrifying. Is this the dreadfulness of a Young Prodigy?”
“An ordinary Partial-Enlightened Realm cultivator would be no match for Direct Disciple Chu. Remember, he’s only at the peak of the Honoured Lord Realm—two whole major realms away from Partial-Enlightened!”
“Too strong. This is the gap between Direct Disciples and us!”
Many disciples were stunned, horrified by this palm of Chu Wuji’s.
Earlier, Gu Changge had shattered Jin Yu’s Partial-Enlightened Realm old servant with a single palm.
But now, Chu Wuji’s palm clearly also carried Partial-Enlightened might—after all, for Young Prodigies, fighting above their realm was not difficult.
“Is this the confidence behind your attack on me? Who gave it to you?”
However.
Facing this palm, Gu Changge’s expression didn’t change much. He remained as casual as ever.
He likewise thrust out a palm, which transformed into a great golden seal.
Divine light billowed, cascading down from the great seal!
Boom!
The great seal and the millstone collided and exploded in an instant!
The moment these two Transcendent treasured techniques clashed, a shocking blast erupted!
It was like a meteor crashing down, making all the nearby mountain peaks tremble in unison. Cracks split the earth, and ripples of countless laws appeared.
Pfft!
Fresh blood splattered across the field.
Chu Wuji was sent flying backward, hair disheveled, his whole body covered in blood. Under the backlash of this shockwave alone, he was directly injured!
His expression was filled with disbelief and some horror. “Mid-stage Honoured King Realm?”
Among those of the same realm, it was already difficult for Young Prodigies to determine a victor—let alone when there was a complete gap in cultivation realms.
Back then, only Gu Changge at the early-stage Honoured Noble Realm had severely injured Jin Zhou, a Young Prodigy at the mid-stage Honoured Noble Realm, causing a huge sensation.
But he truly hadn’t expected that Gu Changge had already broken through to the mid-stage Honoured King Realm!
At this moment, everyone’s expression changed as they sucked in a cold breath.
Too powerful. A casual strike from Gu Changge was terrifying to this degree.
This was simply unbeatable!
“As expected of a True Celestial Being! With his cultivation crushing his opponent, Direct Disciple Chu is simply no match...”
“I really never thought Gu Changge had already broken through to the mid-stage Honoured King Realm...”
The two Young Prodigies, Tian Yang and Zhong Tianyuan, couldn’t help but be horrified as well, exchanging a glance, both unable to believe it.
“How is he this strong...” Gu Xianer’s expression also grew grave. Even if she caught up from behind, who knew how long it would take before she could surpass Gu Changge and take her revenge.
“So what if you’re at the mid-stage Honoured King Realm?”
At this moment, Chu Wuji suddenly let out a great shout. His entire body turned brilliantly golden, and a layer of dragon scales covered his body!
This was his Dragon Transformation Divine Talent, originally kept as a trump card, capable of greatly boosting his cultivation and physique for a period of time!
Before this, he had never used it in front of anyone.
But today, Chu Wuji couldn’t care about that anymore. He had only one thought now—he had to defeat Gu Changge to wash away today’s humiliation.
“Roar, roar, roar...”
A domineering, ancient dragon’s cry rang out.
A True Dragon wreathed in immortal qi, breathing clouds and mist, its entire body covered in golden scales like gold, appeared between heaven and earth!
This True Dragon was lifelike, its body boundlessly enormous.
It stretched a claw toward Gu Changge.
In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth flipped over, chaos rising and falling.
Mountains and rivers paled; the claw carried destructive power as it struck at Gu Changge.
At this moment, all the Cultivators before the mountain peak were once again shocked to their core, only able to sigh that Young Prodigies truly lived up to their name—their methods were simply endless.
If Chu Wuji hadn’t revealed it, probably no one would have imagined he still had such a trump card.
“Mid-stage Honoured King Realm, so what?”
“It’s enough to beat you until your Dao Heart ceases to exist.”
Facing this trump card of Chu Wuji’s, Gu Changge merely chuckled lightly.
Behind him, boundless, dazzling light directly emerged, and a vague Daoist Body manifested—immensely grand, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.
“The Daoist Body?” Gu Xianer’s expression changed, turning somewhat pale as she sensed that familiar aura.
She recognized it—this was the Divine Talent contained within her Great Dao Bone.
Boom!
At this moment, Gu Changge thrust out a palm, and the Daoist Body behind him struck out as well. A vast, boundless wave surged forth, as if an entire Great Dao was pressing down, capable of crushing the ages!
This wave of power made all the disciples and elders unable to keep from changing expression.
One palm to subdue the dragon!
It was as if stars were exploding one after another over there!
Boom-rumble!
A wave like a boundless sea erupted. All the mountain peaks shook, as if a great earthquake had struck.
All the disciples were trembling, resonating along with it, their hearts palpitating in fear, their very souls shuddering.
Everything over there seemed on the verge of being destroyed.
Finally, the radiance faded. Gu Changge’s palm pressed down, and the True Dragon form Chu Wuji had transformed into collapsed continuously. He coughed blood madly, his body crumbling inch by inch.
That palm continued to fall!
With a pfft!
Chu Wuji sprayed blood. His True Dragon form was broken, and half his body exploded on the spot.
His expression was filled with horror and disbelief. He had already used his strongest trump card, yet he was still utterly no match for Gu Changge.
“So, what exactly are you?”
Gu Changge finally withdrew his palm.
With a carefree, breezy expression, he appeared beside Chu Wuji, then planted a foot directly on his head.
Repeating those words once more.
