Chapter 275
Since several elders have all arrived.
In my opinion, the Six-Clan Grand Competition might as well begin now?
The one in charge of presiding over this Six-Clan Grand Competition is the Gu Family's Third Elder, Gu Ren.
Originally, given Gu Ren's strength and standing, he was not qualified to be the host of this event.
But because the Gu Family now holds a status in Han Shan Cheng that surpasses the other five great families.
And Gu Ren is the Gu Family's public spokesperson, so the other families had no objection.
Zhang Family's Great Elder Zhang Chang nodded slightly and asked in a low voice,
"Elder Gu, your Gu Family surely won't renege—let Gu Han and Gu Chen go up?"
The Great Elders of the other great families also turned their gazes over.
The strength of the Gu Han brothers is plain for all to see.
If either Gu Han or Gu Chen steps onto the stage, the five great families have absolutely no chance of winning!
Gu Ren had long anticipated this question from the other great families, and he immediately chuckled,
"Rest assured, since it's the Gu Family's word, we naturally won't renege—but..."
Upon hearing Gu Ren's words, Zhang Chang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
But upon hearing the unfinished second half of Gu Ren's sentence, their hearts leapt to their throats.
Seeing the crowd's faces constantly shifting expressions, Gu Ren gave a knowing smile,
"I propose that this sparring be grouped by major realm: Martial Apprentice, Martial Practitioner, Martial Master, and Great Martial Master—four tiers."
"The lower tier may actively challenge those in higher tiers, while those in higher tiers may only challenge those in the same or higher tier—what do you think?"
Zhang Chang and the others thought for a moment, then immediately nodded.
Compared to dividing by age, dividing by major realm has its own advantages and disadvantages.
It also gives those of average talent but diligent in cultivation some opportunities.
At the same realm, as long as they can defeat those geniuses, they will naturally also gain their families' regard.
And they also have no objection to the idea of lower-ranked challenging higher-ranked.
It's impossible for every Gu Family member to be like the Gu Han brothers.
Can they fight across major realms?
Since everyone has no objection, I now declare that this Six-Clan Grand Competition begins now!
The Six-Clan Grand Competition doesn't involve much idle talk.
As Gu Ren's words fell,
Any clan descendant eager to show face before the clan elders immediately leapt onto the Martial Arts Platform to begin sparring.
The Six-Clan Grand Competition features ten Martial Arts Platforms running simultaneously.
Not only the main lines of the great families, but also branch lines and even subordinates can participate.
As long as you have confidence in your combat ability!
If one's strength is lacking, they'll be knocked off the stage in a few moves after stepping up—nothing but embarrassment.
The spectators from Han Shan Cheng numbered in the thousands.
A dense, dark crowd surrounded the Martial Arts Platform, the noise booming.
Listening to the surrounding cheers and applause.
Every person who steps onto the Martial Arts Platform feels as if their whole body is heating up!
No one can refuse the opportunity to shine brilliantly under the gaze of ten thousand eyes!
And the Gu Family descendants also rolled up their sleeves, eagerly jumping onto the Martial Arts Platform.
After all, the Gu Family hails from Wu Shan Cheng; although their top disciples may not be much inferior to those of the five great families.
But in overall strength, they fall short compared to the five great families of Han Shan Cheng by a notch.
The younger generation of the five great families are also proud and high-spirited.
When sparring with the Gu Family descendants, they employ every means, hoping to blast them off the stage as quickly as possible!
Having Gu Han and Gu Chen pressing down on them is already enough.
They won't allow someone from a small place to easily press down on them.
But once they engage in combat, they find they can't even speak of swiftly defeating the Gu Family descendants.
They can't even guarantee holding an advantage!
How can the strength of these Gu Family descendants be so great?
The younger generation of the several great families who fought them trembled in their hearts.
They discovered that although the Gu Family descendants' realm and mastery of martial techniques are not outstanding.
But their combat techniques are so strong as to be hair-raising!
Basically, each of their attacks will be dodged by the opponent.
Then these Gu Family descendants will launch a fierce attack at their vital points!
Making it impossible to defend against!
Among them, those who can defeat the Gu Family descendants are less than half!
This is absolutely something they find hard to accept!
On the host's seat, Zhang Chang and the other families' Great Elders all showed surprise in their eyes, looking toward Gu Ren in turn.
Yet they found Gu Ren showed no expression of surprise.
It seemed all of this was taken for granted.
Could it be that Gu Han and Gu Chen brothers gave these Gu Family descendants private tutoring?
They were all secretly guessing in their hearts.
Besides this explanation, they could think of no other reason for the Gu family juniors' rapid progress.
However, there is a barrier between geniuses and ordinary people.
To a genius, a single point is clear; after one glance they can grasp it.
To ordinary people, it is often hard to understand.
Therefore, in ordinary forces, those responsible for teaching the younger generation are often elders with deep foundations.
These elders' talents cannot compare to those of the utmost geniuses.
However, regarding their understanding of realms, they can teach the younger generation more profoundly and accessibly.
Even if Gu Chen and Gu Han were willing to waste their own time teaching these Gu family juniors.
According to reason, the effect would not be stronger than that of elders specially tasked with passing on experience.
Amid the confusion of the various families, Gu Qianyue and the others finally stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform.
"Let them see that our long special training was not for nothing!"
Gu Lin, excited, rubbed his fists and palms, jumped onto the Martial Arts Platform, and immediately engaged the opponent in a melee.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Punch met flesh; the heavy impact sounds indicated fierce sparring.
After a few exchanges, Gu Lin easily kicked the opponent, a novice Martial Master, off the stage.
"Hehe, with the help of Gu Han and Gu Pan, my strength has long since become incomparable to before!"
When previously sparring with Gu Pan, Gu Lin was still only an advanced Martial Practitioner.
But now, he has already entered the Martial Master realm!
This certainly would not have been possible without Gu Han's personal guidance and that vast amount of resources!
Although everyone is a member of the Gu family.
But aside from his mother and sister, the people closest to Gu Han are Gu Chen and Gu Lin and the like.
Even Gu Qianyue's relationship with Gu Han pales compared to that of Gu Lin and the others.
Gu Han's personal tutoring naturally allowed them to make rapid progress!
Moreover, frequently sparring with Gu Pan also greatly benefited their combat experience!
After all, after being used as a punching bag many times, even if one cannot beat others, at least one should have learned how to dodge!
Every day they faced opponents as strong as Gu Pan.
Now facing ordinary members of other families.
For Gu Lin and the others, it was completely easy and enjoyable!
It took less than half a cup of tea's time.
Gu Lin, Gu Fan, Gu Jing and the others successively won three straight victories!
