47: Ultimate Offensive Power: Hellfire Spear!
This place was an abyss.
Vast tides of swords surged in from all directions.
"Fortunately, these sword tides are churning around us. Where we're standing is a safe zone untouched by the sword tides. Otherwise, if we fell into that tide, none of us would have a grave to be buried in." Wang Yanggang from the Northern Border let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he looked at Gu Chen with gratitude.
If Gu Chen hadn't entered this place while bearing the Grade A pressure,
then these geniuses from the Northern Border would have definitely suffered heavy losses!
"What exactly do we need to do to clear the Sword Abyss?" Sun Qingqing looked around with some concern. Earlier, when discussing Ye Qingxuan, the geniuses from the Northern Border had paid more attention to her, so her mood was a bit more active now.
It must be said that this little fairy from the Imperial Capital was quite peculiar.
Just moments ago, she was questioning Gu Chen's strength.
However, after Gu Chen displayed superhuman abilities, she was now actually looking for opportunities to strike up a conversation with him.
"Brother Chen, you are the strongest; we'll all listen to you, heehee."
"In this fierce land, everyone should look out for each other. It doesn't matter who listens to whom."
"Brother Chen, look at the sword tide over there; it looks so beautiful."
"It's average."
"Brother Chen, my legs hurt so much. Did the pressure earlier compress my bones?"
"Grade C pressure broke your bones? Are you a Cuicuisha?"
Gu Chen responded effortlessly.
Seriously, don't get close to me.
Sun Qingqing did have some looks, but compared to truly beautiful women, she was really not worth mentioning. Setting aside Ye Qingxuan, even Yue Qingge here was enough to crush Sun Qingqing by several blocks.
The geniuses of the Northern Border all secretly wanted to laugh.
This Gu Chen really didn't leave any room for others when he spoke.
[Please shatter the Sword Heart Stone]
[The sword is for ultimate offense. Please use your power to shatter the Sword Heart Stone ahead. This must be done within three minutes; otherwise, the sword tide will tear this place apart.]
In front of them, a crystal-clear stone
was floating in the sky.
"So, we can only continue if we destroy the Sword Heart Stone. In the Sword Abyss, any delay that causes us to stop might lead to us being directly swallowed by the sword tide." Wang Yanggang had a burly build. After understanding the rules of this trial, he immediately stepped forward.
"Let me try first."
"Brother Wang's sword is very famous in our Northern Border. It's heavy and powerful, with astonishing destructive force."
A Sword Cultivator?
Wang Yanggang was a Martial Artist of the second limit break. It seemed Gu Chen wouldn't need to take action.
Gu Chen watched as Wang Yanggang took down a giant sword from his back. A heavy pressure spread out, and Gu Chen nodded slightly.
Regarding weapons, Gu Chen still preferred long spears.
Ever since the first time Gu Chen used the Prison Thunder Spear,
he had become accustomed to using long spears.
"Boom!"
A massive sound erupted!
Wang Yanggang circulated his entire body's blood Qi, unleashing an unprecedentedly terrifying sword attack. The offensive aura was indeed extremely frightening.
The Sword Heart Stone wobbled.
However, it did not shatter completely.
"He failed?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
"Didn't you say Wang Yanggang's sword was quite famous in your Northern Border? Yet that Sword Heart Stone didn't even budge." Sun Qingqing's words made the expressions of the Northern Border geniuses turn even more unsightly.
"I'll try too!"
One after another, the Northern Border Martial Arts Examinees who used swords began to step forward.
As it turned out, their swords didn't even have the qualification to make the Sword Heart Stone wobble.
Boom!
The last Martial Arts Examinee failed.
Despair clouded everyone's faces.
[Time Remaining: 5 minutes]
Only five minutes left.
Swish, swish, swish!
The surrounding sword tides began to surge violently, like an ocean under a raging storm, ready to open its maw and swallow everything at any moment.
"What should we do? We can't shatter the Sword Heart Stone!"
"In another five minutes, we'll all be swallowed by that sword tide."
Right at that moment,
"Let me try."
Gu Chen let out a sigh with a solemn expression.
He had thought Wang Yanggang could handle it.
He didn't expect
that he would still fail.
Wang Yanggang's sword wasn't weak.
It could only be said that the Sword Abyss, as an a-rank fierce land, indeed had terrifying weight to its name.
"But Gu Chen, you seem to have never used a sword before?" Yue Qingge said with some concern.
"It didn't specify that a sword must be used. It said offensive aura. When it comes to offense, it's not only swords that possess it." Gu Chen walked over and patted the shoulder of the guilt-ridden Wang Yanggang.
There were no more chances left.
Gu Chen decided to win in one blow.
Everyone watched Gu Chen.
"Can he succeed?"
"Brother Chen is the strongest among us. Now we can only rely on him."
"But in the Sword Abyss, without using a sword, can it really be done?"
Boom!
Divine Prison Gene—Prison Thunder Spear!
In Gu Chen's hand, a brilliant bolt of lightning erupted, transforming into a long spear. Gu Chen threw the spear, and as it shot through the air, the sky vibrated for an instant!
The Prison Thunder Spear was a super-powerful gene ability with sustainable growth.
Now that Gu Chen had grown to the second limit break,
when he unleashed it, it was countless times more powerful than when he first activated it in the Ancient God Forest!
Boom!
Crack, crack, crack!
As the Prison Thunder Spear crashed into the Sword Heart Stone,
the Sword Heart Stone suddenly shattered!
Success!
The people around him all showed shocked expressions.
Wang Yanggang and the others stood frozen, looking at Gu Chen with incredulous eyes.
"What ability is this?"
"It's not a Martial Skill. A Martial Skill wouldn't have this kind of trembling aura. And the destructive power just now was truly terrifying. Is that a gene ability?"
"Brother Gu is a Gene Warrior?"
A Gene Warrior.
No wonder he could be rated as a Grade A Sword Seed. The difference between a Gene Warrior and an ordinary Martial Artist was like the sun, moon, and stars compared to the dust on the ground. One was destined to shine brilliantly in the starry sky, while the other could only drift with the wind, unsettled for a lifetime.
For the Xia Country, the value of a Gene Warrior was immense.
There had been instances where several Glazed Realm experts risked their lives and died on the battlefield just to rescue a Genius who had unlocked their genes and gotten lost!
"I never thought there was a Gene Warrior among us. In this Martial Artist College Entrance Examination, I estimate the number of examinees who can unlock their genes is no more than ten."
Wang Yanggang's eyes were suddenly filled with admiration as he looked at Gu Chen.
And Sun Qingqing now truly felt it was unbelievable.
No. 13 Middle School.
A Gene Warrior?
Was it for real?
She hadn't seen it wrong, had she?
However, her eyes flickered with a strange light as she looked at Gu Chen. Her background was indeed good, at least enough to allow her to enjoy high-level Martial Artist resources, but those halos were not worth mentioning compared to a Gene Warrior. If the power behind her could attach itself to a Gene Warrior... then their status within the Imperial Capital
would also rise steadily.
Normally, many noble families invested in top geniuses, but for Gene Warriors, only the highest-level organization in Xia Country, the Purple Profound Pavilion, could invest in and manage them.
But she had other methods.
For example, selling her charms?
