172: Chapter 172 A Father-Son Scheme! Experience truly matters!
The number of people outside the Mountain Gate continued to increase!
In the distance, along the mountainside, people kept arriving in an endless stream. There were so many Spirit Beasts and flying Magical Artifacts that there was no longer any room to land!
Inside the Mountain Gate, the Disciples who had just finished moving supplies were looking down towards the foot of the mountain!
A Disciple who had just teleported back looked up in the direction of the Mountain Gate, his footsteps coming to an abrupt halt. "What the? Why are there so many people?"
They knew the Old Ancestor wanted to recruit, but how long had it been? It was already an endless sea of people!
This is just too ridiculous!
"This? Are they all here to participate in the selection? Isn't this a bit too many people?"
At this moment, a Disciple beside him also glanced in that direction. "I heard the news spread fast, but I didn't expect this many! This isn't a Disciple selection; it's an invasion!"
There was a hint of awe in his tone, but not much worry.
Daring to attack the Gu Family's Mountain Gate was nothing but wishful thinking!
Just then, another Disciple walked over from behind them. "That's not even the half of it! I heard the Clan Chief is also recruiting handymen this time, with a minimum requirement of the Saint Realm! It's a good thing we joined early!"
"If even handymen need to be in the Saint Realm, just imagine how high the threshold for the Gu Family will be in the future!"
"Then we must hurry and Cultivate! Otherwise, in a few years, we won't even be able to get a turn to Move supplies! We'll be left crying without tears by then!"
Several people nearby chuckled; after all, moving supplies for the Gu Family provided twenty percent of the income!
If they couldn't Move supplies in the future, it would definitely be a huge loss!!
"Right, starting tomorrow, we'll increase our training. No more slacking off!"
Just then, the voice of a Gu Family Disciple came from the plaza!
"Look quickly! The Clan Chief has been beaten into a pig's head by the Young Lord again!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone looked up in unison!
To think there was such entertainment!
How could they not watch this properly?
Inside the translucent walls of the God-Locking Tower, two figures were rapidly interweaving!
Gu Chen dodged a punch from Clan Leader Gu Tianhua, then backhanded a palm strike onto Clan Leader Gu Tianhua's shoulder!
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was forced to stagger half a step to the side. Just as he steadied himself, Gu Chen's next punch had already arrived!
"Old man! This punch is going to hurt!!"
Hiss!!
Outside the God-Locking Tower, several Disciples lowered their voices to discuss!
"Why do you think the Clan Chief is being beaten so badly?"
A Disciple nearby kept his eyes fixed on the tower. "The Young Lord's Cultivation seems to be catching up to the Clan Chief's again!"
"Isn't that perfect? In a few years, the Young Lord will be able to rightfully take over for the Clan Chief, right? By then, the Clan Chief can retire and be a grandfather in peace!"
As they were speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from inside the tower!
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was forced back several steps by the force of the punch. Although he wasn't injured, the expression on his Face was already a bit off!
"That hurt like hell! To think someone is badmouthing me!"
He didn't look at Gu Chen, but instead turned his head to scan the direction of those figures outside the tower. "You two, what are you saying? Wait until I come out, and I'll deal with you!"
Those Gu Family Disciples immediately fell silent and ran away, afraid of being remembered!
But those Disciples moving supplies were watching with great interest!
This was a very rare father-son duel!
A real father-son duel!!
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua stretched his limbs, his expression becoming a bit more serious. "I wasn't serious just now. This time, don't blame your father for not giving you any Face!!"
"Hehe! Bring it on!"
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua stepped forward, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, his power erupting. His speed and attacks increased significantly!
He looked extremely imposing!
But in Gu Chen's eyes, there were flaws everywhere!
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua's punch whistled past, carrying the pressure of a full-force attack!
He shouted loudly, "Watch closely! This Move is called the Great Sun Tiger-Subduing Fist!!"
Hah!!
The name sounded intimidating, and the Aura was also quite strong!
Gu Chen only took one look and realized something was wrong; the opening of that Move was too direct, and the flaws were as exposed as someone wearing split-crotch pants!
Gu Chen looked at the fist force charging straight at him, having already clearly seen the flaw in his mind!
He thought, is that it?
As expected, it had Aura but no substance in its Move!
He prepared to dodge and then counterattack. The moment he moved away, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua was waiting for exactly this moment!
That straight-charging fist quickly retracted, followed by a teleportation straight toward Gu Chen!
Gu Chen's pupils constricted slightly. He had to abandon his original chosen path and forcibly twist his body!
At the same time, he retreated half a step, opening up the distance again!
He glanced at his body where the Spiritual Qi had grazed him; it had actually torn a gash!
Clan Leader Gu Tianhua retracted his fist, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "Do you think your father is truly old?"
The Disciples outside the tower who had been whispering to each other suddenly fell silent!
Inside the translucent walls of the God-Locking Tower, the light from the collision of Spiritual Qi was more than a level brighter than before!
The movement speed of the two figures had clearly increased by a notch!
"Damn! Was the Clan Chief hiding his Move just now? The older ginger is indeed spicier! He almost tricked the Young Lord!"
"I completely didn't expect it. I thought the Clan Chief was going to be beaten into a pig's head by the Young Lord again!"
"It seems the Clan Chief was deliberately playing weak to ambush the Young Lord!"
"The Clan Chief wasn't serious at all just now, right? The power of this Move is completely different from before!"
"I knew it! How could the Clan Chief have held his position for so many years if he were so easily defeated!"
"Deliberately letting the Young Lord lower his guard, then landing a heavy blow! Brilliant! Truly brilliant! This tactic of feigning weakness even fooled us bystanders!"
"If it weren't for the Young Lord's quick reactions, if that had been me just now, I'd probably already be lying on the ground!"
"It's really hard to say who will win or lose this round! Both the Clan Chief and the Young Lord are serious now!"
The collision inside the God-Locking Tower continued for dozens of Moves!
It was truly Spiritual Qi radiating everywhere, with constant explosions; it was clear that both of their powers were terrifying!
But while it looked like they were evenly matched, it was clear that Clan Leader Gu Tianhua's fists were not as hard as Gu Chen's!
However, to avoid losing Face, after all, there were so many Disciples watching outside!
No matter what, he was the Clan Chief!
Suddenly, he raised a hand. "Alright, alright, that's enough for today!"
"Your father is hungry; let's eat something first. Today, I just wanted to tell you that the older ginger is spicier! I'll let you off today; next time, it won't be so easy!"
After saying this, he turned and walked out, as if this segment had been planned long ago!
He left gracefully, directly vanishing!
If he kept fighting, he might really make a fool of himself!
He had to maintain his dignity as the Clan Chief; he couldn't let himself appear too disheveled in front of so many Disciples!
The area outside the tower was silent for a moment.
A Disciple whispered, "Hungry? The Clan Chief found that excuse quite naturally!"
"Be careful, don't let the Clan Chief hear you! The Clan Chief definitely still has ultimate Moves he hasn't used yet!"
"That must be it, just think about the Clan Chief's strength!"
Gu Chen didn't expect that his father could say that without even blushing!
In two more Moves, Clan Leader Gu Tianhua would have been defeated!
As expected, the older ginger is spicier; he said that without even feeling guilty!
