After Gu Liang appeared.
He explained the purpose of this martial arts competition to everyone.
To select the strong.
To go to Kunlong Island.
To search for Dragon Blood!
When everyone learned about the efficacy of Dragon Blood, their eyes lit up with unprecedented brilliance.
Excited.
"So that's how it is!"
"My word, do true dragons really exist in this world?"
"How is that possible? I don't believe it anyway!"
"That's right, I don't believe it either, it's too far-fetched!"
"Sect Leader Gu, you're not joking with us, are you!"
"Exactly..."
There was constant discussion.
Hearing this, Gu Liang smiled faintly and said calmly, "Believe it and it exists, disbelieve it and it doesn't... Listen carefully everyone, the so-called Dragon Blood is just a lucky phrase, implying that everyone should compete with their hearts!"
"Haha, so that's how it is!"
"That makes sense now!"
"But speaking of which, is there really Dragon Blood on Kunlong Island?"
"I don't know, I don't even know about Kunlong Island, but the name sounds quite mysterious!"
"As for whether it truly exists or not, that remains to be seen!"
They chatted amongst themselves.
Gu Liang did not engage further, only speaking a few perfunctory words.
Today's competition had another purpose, which was to delineate the territories and bases of influence.
This way, the martial artists from the Thirty-Six Sects would not be in chaos!
Gu Liang added, "Our current competition has no restrictions; anyone can participate, but it will be conducted through challenging and defending a position. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Don't worry, we can manage this!"
"Haha, exactly..."
"Sect Leader Gu, thank you for your trouble!"
Gu Liang nodded, "Alright, let our Gu family start!"
"No problem!"
"We agree!"
"Let's start quickly, we can't wait!"
Thus, from the Gu Sect, the pride of the younger generation, Gu Yu, stepped forward.
This young man was at the age where his aura was like that of a dragon.
Gu Yu performed a fist-and-palm salute and added, "Everyone, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young woman stepped forward, "Hundred Flowers Sect, Zi Ying!"
This young woman possessed the spirit of a heroic woman.
Brave and valiant.
Gu Yu had not expected his first opponent to be a woman. He said, "Shall we stop when we reach a point, or..."
Zi Ying said casually, "Whatever, I'm fine with anything!"
This demeanor caused most of the people present to laugh heartily.
Cheering.
Gu Yu nodded, "Alright then, I won't hold back!"
"Come!"
The next moment, Gu Yu rushed forward and aimed a palm strike at Zi Ying.
His speed was very fast.
And this palm strike was powerful and heavy.
It exuded an aura of extreme might.
Seeing this, Zi Ying calmly responded. In a short while, she condensed her palm and sent out a corresponding attack.
Naturally, Zi Ying was not inferior to Gu Yu in the slightest...
At the beginning, they only used ordinary fist and foot techniques. However, after the initial exchange, they realized that ordinary attacks could not take down the opponent, so they resorted to internal energy...
Gu Yu released his internal energy fluctuation, which was at the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.
Before Zi Ying could fully react, she was repelled...
However, in the next second, internal energy surged around her, and her realm was the same as Gu Yu's...
Chen Fan and the old Taoist priest were watching. The old Taoist priest sighed, "To possess such strength at such a young age is truly surprising!"
