Chapter 61: The Final Battle!

  The first match of the semifinals, Gu Chuyi defeated Gu Yu, a strong contender for the championship, causing countless discussions.

  This is also the time when insiders look at the doorway and outsiders watch the excitement.

  Tao Zhi County could see the ferocity of Gu Chao, and among the three Gus - Gu Fang De, Gu Fang Zhi, and Gu Fang Ti - these three people, although they didn't understand martial arts, there were some things that didn't necessarily require understanding martial arts to be seen. These three people themselves were seasoned merchants with keen eyesight.

  "Big brother, this son of yours is quite something. He's got a mind like a sharp blade, wisdom, and methods that are unmatched. We can't see it in his martial arts skills, but with such a mind, wisdom, and methods, he'd be a great asset even if he were to go into business."

  "This child's martial arts talent is not too bad. If he doesn't die young, he will definitely become a great figure."

  "Big brother, when did you hide such an awesome son? Why didn't you bring him out to show us before?"

  Gu Fang De let out a sigh: "I didn't hide anything from you two uncles, Gu Chao's original appearance, you both know. This kid only suddenly rose to prominence after arriving at the Tai Shan Sect. Honestly, before this family competition, I had no idea he was so formidable. Some people reveal their talent from the start, while others only reveal it when their environment changes. It seems that Gu Chao is the latter."

  "Hmm, it's possible, Gu Chao is worth focusing on cultivating." Gu Fang nodded.

  At the time of San Gu brothers' discussion, Mrs. San was already in a dreamlike state, with a large pile of congratulatory voices around her, but she found herself trapped in a dreamlike state as well. Had her son Gu Chao really defeated one of the favorites to win the championship, Gu Yu, and entered the final two? Mrs. San recalled the image of Chao'er in her mind, only to find that the weak and timid boy in her memory was completely different from the confident and majestic boy before her now. But no matter what, he was still her son.

  Hou Er didn't dare to be confident either, and it wasn't until after a long while that Hou Er suddenly burst out with a loud shout: "Chao Ge, well done!"

  Hou Da sat on one side and said in a loud voice: "Hou Er, I remember that you have always had a good relationship with Gu Chao, right?"

  Hou nodded: "Right."

  "Keep it up." Lord Hou nodded and said: "Gu Chao, this son of yours, has a bright future ahead of him."

  Hou Er lived in a merchant family, and since childhood, he was influenced by this environment. He couldn't possibly be completely ignorant of human relationships. With a hearty laugh, he said: "I and Chao Ge are naturally compatible, born to be brothers. Father, rest assured." This wasn't about taking advantage of Gu Chao, but rather that he was naturally compatible with Gu Chao, which made them friends who mutually benefited each other.

  There are two kinds of friends.

  One is a friend who can be entrusted with life and death, but not benefit from it at all. However, such friends are extremely rare, and ordinary people may not even have one in their lifetime. At least, I don't have any now.

  There is also a kind of beneficial friend, Gu Chao and Hou Er are this type. To say it, it's indeed a bit vulgar, but it's very realistic. Everyone is a living person, when they become friends, there are more or less some benefits in between.

  As they were talking, Wang Po said in a deep voice: "Next is the second match of the semi-finals, Class 2A against Class 2B."

  Originally still had to guess who the opponent was, now completely don't need to guess anymore.

  As for the remaining two people, they were naturally Gu Mengmeng and Gu Ping.

  Gu Mengmeng, from the Golden Rank sect Yue Nu Jian Zong.

  Gu Ping, from the White Silver rank sect, Cangshan Sect.

  The two men were already standing on the stage.

  Gu Ping made a joke: "Gu Mengmeng, this time you can show some mercy."

  "Sorry, I don't have the habit of showing mercy." Gu Momo retorted with a cold and proud tone. Not everyone understands human relationships, like Gu Momo who doesn't comprehend them. She is a talented girl who has always been pampered wherever she goes, so naturally she hasn't learned about human relationships yet. Her sword flashed out of its scabbard in an instant, transforming into a flowing light that shot straight towards Gu Ping.

  Gu Ping immediately welcomed the enemy and performed a first-class martial art, Mo Jian Swordsmanship. For a moment, the sword light and shadow seemed to merge into the ink, and the sky became gloomy, with the sword merging into the ink.

  However, Gu Ping's sword was still in good condition, while Gu Mo's sword had already stabbed towards Gu Ping's throat. Gu Ping's ink sword parried with a backhand move, and the two swords clashed. Gu Ping's ink sword light flickered, after all his internal strength was far inferior to Gu Mo's. And Gu Mo's sword tip aimed at the throat again, Gu Mo's sword tip was extremely fast, while Gu Ping's sword light had not yet readjusted, Gu Mo's sword already lay across Gu Ping's throat.

  Two moves!

  Against the four strong men, Gu Ping was defeated by Gu Momo with just two moves. The powerful Gu Momo is indeed worthy of being a descendant of the Golden Gate School.

  This battle was not as long as Gu Chao's battle against Gu Yu, and it also showed Gu Mengmeng's absolute strength.

  Wang Botou declared: "This battle, Gu Momo wins."

  "The two who finally advanced to the family's grand final match were Gu Chao and Gu Mengmeng. Next, they will rest for a short while before starting the last match." Wang Bao Tou had been acting as the referee and was also getting excited, after all, he was also a martial artist, and as a martial artist, he could see the exchange between two strong martial artists, Wang Bao Tou's blood was also boiling.

  But everything still has to wait until after one stick of incense has been burned.

  After one round of competition, rest for a short while, this is the rule.

  But to say it again, for such a wonderful final battle, waiting for just one incense stick's worth of time is indeed not long.

  Gu Chao and Gu Momo both sat cross-legged.

  Gu Chao naturally didn't dare to underestimate Gu Mo, who was the heir of a golden-level sect. His strength was absolutely extraordinary, and from start to finish, Gu Chao hadn't been able to see through Gu Mo's ultimate technique. Every time Gu Mo defeated an opponent, it was too quick, and his ultimate move couldn't be seen clearly.

  Gu Momo didn't dare to underestimate Gu Chao, after all, Gu Chao had defeated the championship favorite Gu Yu. However, in Gu Momo's opinion, Gu Chao could at most cause some interference, but wanting to win over himself was out of the question.

  ……

  Meanwhile, people waiting on the side also began discussing the final battle of the Gu family's grand competition.

  "Who will win this final battle? Gu Momo or Gu Chao?"

  "I think Gu MuMu has a much greater chance of winning, after all, she is one of the two biggest favorites to win the championship." said someone who supports Gu MuMu.

  "This is not necessarily the case, Gu Mengmeng is one of the two hottest contenders for the championship, but have you seen the other contender, Gu Yu? He was also defeated by Gu Chao." Some supporters of Gu Chao dissatisfied with the opposition said that Gu Chao originally had no supporters, but after three consecutive victories, especially the last victory over Gu Yu, he gained many supporters. After all, Gu Chao's heroic and majestic appearance with a knife is quite handsome, although due to his young age, there is still some childishness, combining two kinds of temperament into one.

  "Gǔ Mèi and Gǔ Yù are not on the same level, Gǔ Yù is a white silver-level sect, with ordinary innate talent. Gǔ Mèi, on the other hand, is from a golden-level sect, known as a child prodigy. Those who support Gǔ Mèi say: 'Moreover, even if Gǔ Chāo and Gǔ Mèi are evenly matched in strength, Gǔ Mèi has yet to reveal her true abilities, not even what sword technique she uses is known. Meanwhile, Gǔ Chāo has already revealed his hand too early, exposing his knife skills in the battle with Gǔ Yù. In terms of intelligence, Gǔ Chāo is at a disadvantage, so Gǔ Mèi's chances of winning are greater, occupying 80%, while Gǔ Chāo's chances of winning are at most 20%."

  "In this way, it also makes sense, and in terms of winning face, Gu Mengmeng is indeed at an advantage."

  "But for now, nothing has started yet, everything is still unknown, we are still waiting with bated breath, waiting for these two people to fight."

  "We'll be keeping an eye out."

  "This stick of incense is taking so long to burn." Someone complained about the time being too long.
