Chapter 83: Where is Gu Chao?

  The top of Zhongxi Peak is breathtakingly beautiful.

  Here, white clouds are swirling, and white cranes are flying.

  Faintly visible, as if an immortal realm.

  Here is a dilapidated wooden pavilion, the peeling red paint on the pavilion reveals the marks of time, the pavilion has no name, and ten elderly people are sitting in the middle of the pavilion.

  The inner disciples of the Taishan Sect are not many, and the elders are all promoted from the inner disciples, so there are even fewer elders. There are only a few dozen elders in the Taishan Sect. At this time, ten elders were seated here, who were exactly the ten elders in charge of the ten major mountain mansions of Zhongxi Peak.

  "The annual battle for supremacy has begun again." An elderly man with a white beard said somewhat nostalgically, he was nostalgic for his youth, no mistake, his current strength had increased, and his position was high and powerful, but no matter how high and powerful, youth would never return, sometimes this old man really envied those young people.

  "Nor does anyone know how many of the twenty people who initially obtained the quota tokens can keep their tokens in the end." Another elder said with emotion.

  "The little rascals from Eighth Mountain Manor, Ninth Mountain Manor and Tenth Mountain Manor are probably unable to keep this token safe."

  "No matter how many people can keep the token, the one who finally gets the token must be a strong man among the post-heaven disciples of Zhongxi Peak." said an elder.

  "Haha, let's just wait and see, wait for the final outcome."

  "It's said that the Yashan Sect has been quite active lately." Ximen Can took a sip of tea: "After the recent task of exterminating the sand snakes was completed, according to the news that came back, Gong Yangyuan, the elder of the Yashan Sect, brought his disciple Wanxie on a trip to Linhe County."

  "Ten thousand demons, that one has only been in the sect for a year and has already cultivated to the pre-heavenly realm, what a genius!" There's no need to mention names again, everyone present is a mastermind, who doesn't understand the intentions of the Ya Shan Sect?

  "By the way, I recently heard that Xuan Yuan Wu Li, the commander of the 9th legion of the Six Nations Army, went to the East Sea and killed a level 10 demon beast - the Touching Dragon God."

  "Xuanyuan Wuli, this big shot has made a move, unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet this big shot standing at the top of the world." For the extremely rare elder of the Taishan Sect, Xuanyuan Wuli is still a big shot standing high in the clouds.

  "Our Taishan sect is still too weak, and every year a certain number of people from the Jixia Academy are sent to the Six Nations Army."

  The elderly men appear quite dignified in front of their disciples, but essentially they are also human and will gossip.

  ……

  The fifth day of the battle for dominance has begun!

  Among the twenty token holders, the three worst ones - Zhuang Feihe, Gu Chao and Murong Ying. Among them, Zhuang Feihe had his token taken away half an hour after the competition started, while Murong Ying was found on the fourth afternoon and had her token taken away. Of course, it's already impressive that Murong Ying, a lousy bird, could last until the fourth afternoon.

  But a problem has arisen, two of the three big newcomers have already been knocked down, where is the other newcomer Gu Chao?

  On Zhongxi Peak, over a hundred people were searching for Gu Chao's trail, and they had searched every possible place in Xinyue Mountain Villa, but still couldn't find him. They also searched other places on Zhongxi Peak, but still couldn't find Gu Chao. This guy named Gu Chao was really good at hiding.

  Of course, knowing how to hide is not a derogatory term, it's also a skill. In the jianghu, if you can avoid being killed by your enemies, that's already a feat. Among the twenty people who obtained the nameplate tokens, most of them initially chose to hide as their strategy, hiding and accumulating energy, only striking when discovered later. After all, there are countless opponents, too many, while one person's internal strength has its limits, so many people choose this approach. Anyway, as long as you can keep the token safe for thirty days, that's considered a win.

  But Gu Chao Ming was a junior who came to Zhong Xi Feng for only ten months, and he actually hid so well that many senior brothers and sisters couldn't find him, what a thorny situation.

  Where is Gu Chao hiding?

  Gurgling! The sound of running water, where Gu Chao is has the sound of running water.

  Of course it's not by the river, the goal by the river is too obvious, Gu Chao hid behind the waterfall.

  The day before the battle, Gu Chao thought that if a war broke out, where would be a good place to hide in Zhongxi Peak. After thinking about it for a while without coming up with a solution, various idle thoughts suddenly popped into his mind, and he remembered Journey to the West, wasn't Sun Wukong's Water Curtain Cave behind a waterfall?

  Behind the waterfall, it's really a good place, hidden tightly. At that time, Gu Chao found some waterfalls and discovered that almost all of them behind Zhongxi Peak had no location, no cave.

  No cave can create a cave by itself, so Gu Chao dug some caves.

  The excavated soil is transported to a relatively distant place for processing, and after being processed, the traces here will not be discovered by people.

  So, when the battle for the treasure began, others couldn't find Gu Chao anywhere, while he was leisurely waiting in a cave behind the waterfall. Sometimes, outer sect disciples would pass by and from their conversations, Gu Chao had already learned that Zhuang Feihe and Murong Ying had both fallen, leaving only himself as the last one standing.

  Gu Chao sat in a newly dug cave, looking at the waterfall thundering down from the sky not far in front of him.

  Waterfall cascades down one by one, rumbling loudly towards the sky.

  Gǔ Chāo gazed at the waterfall, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He had learned from nature to master the 72 routes of knife techniques of the first rank and the swift wind knife technique of the second rank. Now, could he learn from nature again, observe the waterfall in front of him, and create a new set of second-rank martial arts? The waterfall originated from the top of the mountain, rushing straight down, regardless of whether it was rocks or cliffs, they were all impacted flat by the waterfall, this was the power of water.

  The power of water is very gentle.

  But turned into a waterfall above, it became the most powerful force.

  Majestic and powerful, with a mighty atmosphere, this is a waterfall.

  Rumbling and roaring, as if countless white dragons were swinging their whiskers, galloping wildly, bellowing angrily, spewing clouds and spitting pearls, sweeping across the sky and earth.

  Gu Chao kept watching the waterfall flowing down from morning till night, except when he was sleeping.

  As he watched, Gu Chao also stood up and drew out the red copper long knife to practice his swordplay. Here, he didn't have to worry about the sound of his practice being discovered by outsiders, after all, the sound of the waterfall was too loud and covered everything.

  Ancient super practice knife, there is only one move. This move, from top to bottom, the knife light is like a dragon.

  Ku Chao decided to name this move "Waterfall Style", a rare and powerful style. In Ku Chao's knife technique, there was actually no powerful move, the Gust Knife Technique was an agile knife style, this move made up for this weakness.

  Gu Chao was practicing the waterfall technique over and over again. This waterfall knife was not only fast, but also extremely fierce.

  It's unknown how long he practiced, but Gu Chao finally let out a sigh of relief as he mastered the Waterfall Slash. From now on, this move could be considered one of his ultimate techniques. With the addition of the Waterfall Slash, he felt more confident in facing numerous powerful enemies. Looking at the ground beside him, four characters were carved into the dirt - one character per day for five days. Unbeknownst to him, twenty days had already passed.

  Gu Chao didn't plan on hiding forever, he was just conserving his energy and waiting for the right moment to strike.

  It has been twenty days since the battle began, and now it is considered to be in the later stage of the competition. Should I go out and try my hand in these two days? Or should I wait a few more days before going out to try my hand?

  "Haha, so you were hiding behind the waterfall. What a great hiding spot." Just as Gu Chao was about to go out and try his luck, a sneering laugh sounded, and it seemed that someone had already discovered him. The person who discovered Gu Chao was nicknamed "Fierce Dog King Ben". This King Ben, along with Hunting Dog Qin Yao, were known as the "Double Dogs" of the outer sect disciples. Both of their noses were extremely sensitive, but King Ben's skills in investigation were actually better than Qin Yao's, because he was a root bone of the investigation department, and was skilled at reconnaissance. However, even so, it was only by chance that he had discovered someone hiding behind the waterfall.

  Has anyone discovered himself? Gu Chao shrugged, he had planned to take action anyway. The twenty-day period of nourishing his spirit and accumulating energy was almost over, it was time to make a move. Since someone had discovered him at this critical moment, Gu Chao didn't hesitate, carrying his long knife on his shoulder, he walked out of the waterfall with ease. Whoosh! The water from the waterfall splashed all over Gu Chao's body, soaking him completely.

  The ferocious dog king rushed towards Gu Chao.

  One on one.
