Chapter 50: Victory Assured at the Strategic Pass

Wait until Yuqitian loses, and only the one named Gu Chen will advance to the top ten.

Du Heng secretly thought viciously,

"I want to see what waves a single Gu Chen can stir up!"

Li Kai had the same thought.

Under the secret instigation of the two, the people of the two camps began to frantically target Yuqitian.

Not long after, Yuqitian unwillingly lost in the wheel battle.

He was even kicked by a fellow sixth-stage martial disciple combat soldier, breaking two ribs and spitting blood!

"Referee, aren't you being too biased?"

After the Second Camp's combat soldiers rushed forward to help Yuqitian up, they glared at the referee with sorrow and indignation.

"Every time our camp is about to win, you step in to help the other camp block attacks!"

"But when our camp is at a disadvantage, you ignore it—isn't that unfair?"

Many combat soldiers followed behind, glaring angrily at the referee.

Although no one spoke, they all expressed the same meaning.

That is, they believed the referee was targeting them.

"Liu Liang's attack wasn't fatal to Yuqitian, and besides, he hadn't lost his combat ability at that time."

However, the referee merely gave a cold snort and said lightly,

"If I step in to save Yuqitian, and if Yuqitian refuses to admit defeat, what should I do then?"

"But at that time Yuqitian was clearly injured by Liu Liang, even pressed to the ground, losing all ability to fight back!"

The people of the Second Camp had a good relationship with Yuqitian, and they all stepped forward to speak up for him.

But the referee still held to his view,

"As long as he doesn't admit defeat, I can only assume he still has the ability to resist; otherwise it would be unfair to the fight."

"Unless it's like Gu Chen, who threatens the opponent's life, only then can I intervene."

The referee's two sentences lightly defined the whole matter.

Gu Chen struck ruthlessly, each move threatening the lives of his comrades.

Although the people of the other camps held the advantage, all their actions followed the rules, with no violations!

That clearly meant the Second Camp was not following the rules!

"Damn, it's clearly Yuqitian who's injured, yet your words inside and out are favoring Liu Liang!"

"Someone like you who shows bias—what qualifies you to be a referee?"

The Second Camp's people were filled with righteous indignation, but could do nothing about it.

They were insignificant and powerless; no matter what the referee said, being a Martial Master, who would believe them?

"Forget it, this time I accept the loss; everyone, let's go back."

The field medic had already come to lift Yuqitian onto a stretcher.

Before leaving, Yuqitian used his last strength to urge everyone to settle the matter peacefully.

Although everyone still felt it was unfair for Yuqitian, they could only helplessly choose to give up, urging him to rest and recover.

"Old Yu, take good care of your wounds."

Just then, Gu Chen walked over from afar to help the medical staff lift Yuqitian's stretcher,

"These people clearly come with ill intent; your grudge, I will avenge for you."

Pale-faced Yuqitian forced a smile, but it tugged at his wounds, causing sharp pain,

"Old Gu, with those words from you, I can rest easy."

In the Second Camp, the only person Yuqitian admires is Gu Chen!

With Gu Chen making a move, these people will definitely not come out well.

After Yuqitian left, Gu Chen walked onto the martial arts platform where Liu Liang was.

However, Liu Liang, like a mouse seeing a cat, turned pale and jumped down from the martial arts platform.

"The fight just now exhausted me too much; I need to rest!"

Gu Chen's face turned grim as he watched Liu Liang walk down the martial arts hall.

But bound by the rules, he could not stop the other's normal rest.

Gu Chen looked around, his voice low,

"I don't know why you're all targeting my Second Camp's people, but I will accept any challenge."

"Even if it's a wheel battle, I'll take them all on!"

"Whether it's three, five, or ten, as long as you have the guts, come at me!"

Gu Chen's words instantly enraged the combat soldiers of the other camps.

"Damn, Gu Chen is actually so arrogant!"

"It's just that I don't want to waste energy on you—do you really think you're invincible?"

"You dare to call for a wheel battle—what big talk!"

"Whoever goes up to teach him a lesson, let him know there are always people stronger and heavens beyond heavens!"

Zhang Chuang in the crowd gave a sinister smile,

"Gu Chen, you really played right into my hands."

Before, he wanted to use a wheel battle to crush Gu Chen and Yuqitian.

But Gu Chen's strength was terrifying; no one dared to actively challenge him.

But now Gu Chen shouted, if no one challenges him, it's equivalent to him alone riding on the heads of the other camps' combat soldier unit!

Everyone is high-spirited and proud; who would admit to being inferior?

Even if Gu Chen were ironclad, he would surely lose today!

At the general's seat.

Li Kai and Du Heng secretly gloated, looking at Guan Shan ahead.

This will surely give you a headache!

The chief instructor of the First Camp is Zhou Kuan.

Zhou Kuan does not worry about other camps challenging his position, nor does he scheme like Li Kai and them to vie for the Second Camp's spot.

He sat beside Guan Shan, smiling faintly as he spoke.

Old Guan, your camp's Gu Chen is capable but not sensible enough.

Anyone can see that other camps indeed treat the Second Camp as an imaginary enemy, targeting it.

But for one person to challenge everyone in other camps is somewhat too imprudent.

Yet what surprised him was that Guan Shan still wore a calm, composed expression.

He showed no sign of being shaken by Gu Chen's intention to fight many alone.

Old Zhou, just wait and see.

Guan Shan smiled.

Old Li and Old Du, they'll soon be broken through.

Zhou Kuan stared at Guan Shan curiously.

He didn't understand where Guan Shan got his confidence.

Not to mention Gu Chen, even a combat soldier from the First Camp wouldn't dare speak so arrogantly!

Could it be that Guan Shan personally took Gu Chen as a disciple and personally instructed him?

Zhou Kuan secretly speculated.

The chief instructor taking a combat soldier as a disciple actually does not break the rules.

This is also the only reason he could imagine for Guan Shan trusting Gu Chen so much.

Meanwhile, on the Martial Arts Platform, battles erupted one after another.

Gu Chen took to heart what the referee had said earlier.

This time he did not point his sword at the opponent's vital spot with each strike.

Instead, when facing each opponent, he displayed strength that appeared evenly matched.

Only after a fierce struggle did he break the opponent's ribs, snap the arm, and kick the opponent off the Martial Arts Platform.

Precisely because Gu Chen did not show overwhelming strength, it gave others hope of victory.

People went up the Martial Arts Platform one after another, only to be kicked down one after another.

Damn, is this fellow ironclad?

Each time he falls just short; this fellow obviously hasn't rested, just how strong is his will?

Each time I thought I had seen his limit, yet Gu Chen wins every time—it's uncanny!

In response, the referee's face turned grim, and he barely restrained himself from going up to stop Gu Chen's actions.

As the Second Camp's people had guessed, he indeed accepted benefits from the other camps.

But he did not change the rules; he merely offered slight protection to the other camps' people within the rules.

This was not against the rules, and he felt no guilt at all.

But by doing this, Gu Chen cut off his source of income!
