Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

In the deepest part of Qingyun Academy, an ancient hall sat enshrouded in a sacred aura that seemed serene and transcendent, with strands of chaotic energy intertwined.

At this moment, after sensing the aura released by the mysterious gauntlet, Dean Situ Yin of Qingyun Academy was greatly shaken.

His eyes blazing, he glanced over and saw the grand battle between Gu Chen and Zhang Ling on the arena.

Time seemed to stand still in the eyes of this ultimate being as he saw through everything, even to Gu Chen's flesh and bones, discovering the mysterious gauntlet hidden at the deepest part of his left palm.

"There's no mistake... indeed, it is a Divine Weapon," said Dean Situ Yin of Qingyun Academy, trembling slightly even with his status as a Great Power.

This clearly showed how excited he was at the time.

And all of this excitement was naturally due to the mysterious gauntlet!

However, on the other side, on the battlefield, Gu Chen, who was in combat, had no idea about this. He marshaled the mysterious gauntlet, which unleashed tremendous energy, causing his left palm to radiate light, burning like a blazing sun.

Boom!

The terrifying surge of energy was like waves crashing on the shore, a deluge bursting forth. Coupled with the mysterious gauntlet's ability to suppress all kinds of divine weapons, even the innate spirit treasure wielded by Zhang Ling, a scion of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, was naturally blocked.

Even the innate spirit treasure that hovered mid-air, due to the flourishing aura of the mysterious gauntlet, found its own brilliance dimmed at that moment, flickering uncertainly.

Indistinctly, it conveyed a sense of fear to Zhang Ling.

"Why, what kind of thing can instill fear in an innate spirit treasure?!" Zhang Ling was stupefied, having not expected that even this could not kill Gu Chen.

It was his last resort.

Bang!

At that time, a vigorous figure like a true dragon appeared out of nowhere and swung a punch at Zhang Ling's chest. Instantly, Zhang Ling coughed up blood and was sent flying backwards.

However, in a flash, Gu Chen grabbed Zhang Ling's ankle, then with a fierce swing, smashed Zhang Ling straight into the ground for an intimate encounter with the hard arena.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, a chorus of bone-cracking and screams echoed simultaneously, and Zhang Ling was in so much pain he nearly passed out.

"Gu..."

Zhang Ling began to speak, intending to use his background to strongarm Gu Chen into submission, but he didn't expect that Gu Chen would not give him the chance, fiercely swinging his arm again, smashing him into the ground in another direction.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Ling spat blood; although his physical body was formidable, the arena of Qingyun Academy was reinforced by formations that even the Great Powers of the heaven realm would struggle to break.

Thus, the one to suffer from a collision with such a hard arena could only be Zhang Ling himself.

In an instant, through two collisions, his face became a blurred mess of flesh and blood, and all his teeth fell out of his mouth.

At the same time, the bones within his body continually broke, and even his internal organs developed cracks.

"This... this is too vicious," students from Qingyun Academy watching below exclaimed in horror, marveling at Gu Chen's method.

"He deserves it, he was acting so arrogant, hmph!" At this moment, the demonic genius Ao Guang from the forefront of the Chi Dragon clan spoke up, the first to express support for Gu Chen.

"Indeed… I feel a bit of dark satisfaction!" Wang Yuan of the Zifu School also nodded in agreement.

Just then, Zhang Ling, leveraging his background and strength, had been so arrogant that everyone from Qingyun Academy was rendered speechless, now to see him end up in such a state, many found it immensely satisfying.

"This kid, well done, to my liking!" Even several Great Powers of the academy openly expressed their admiration for Gu Chen.

Seeing this, Cui Ji was somewhat helpless, but he did find it quite gratifying. He only hoped that Gu Chen had some sense of measure, that no life would be lost.

Bang bang bang!

At that moment, Zhang Ling, a direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, was like a human-shaped punching bag in Gu Chen's hands, being continuously swung and smashed into the ground on either side, with such formidable force that even the formation-protected arena trembled unstoppably.

This showed just how severe the impact on the human-shaped punching bag, Zhang Ling, was; even a top-notch monster of the Fusion Realm couldn't withstand it!

In the end, Zhang Ling couldn't even scream anymore. He was completely out of strength, most of his bones were broken, large portions of his organs were shattered, and he lay there like a lump of mud, covered in blood and frothing at the mouth.

His state was truly as miserable as one could imagine.

If someone uninformed came upon this scene, no one would believe he was a bona fide successor of the Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

What a joke, could a direct successor be beaten to such an extent? Calling him a pig's head would be an understatement; he didn't even look human anymore!

"Good, good."

But upon seeing this, Cui Ji, one of the academy's Great Powers, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. As long as no life was lost, that was enough for him.

After all, he had seen Gu Chen's methods before, when slaughtering the stronghold of the Holy Gates, he was decisively terrifying.

Cui Ji was also worried that Gu Chen would kill, considering the victim came from the Ten Thousand Stars Palace. If he really killed him and they came asking for accountability, Qingyun Academy would have had a difficult time dealing with it.

Of course, Gu Chen was aware of this, so he didn't kill Zhang Ling but gave him a thorough lesson instead.
