"What, what did you say, Zuo Tian was defeated by Zhang Er Gou?"
The entire inner sect was shaken. If Zhang Er Gou's defeat of Li Xu yesterday caused a sensation, then his defeat of Zuo Tian today caused the entire inner sect to tremble.
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, unknown and unheard of, had only entered the inner sect for half a year.
In just two days, he had consecutively defeated two experts on the inner sect ranking list.
Although Zuo Tian and Li Xu were both disciples ranked at the very bottom, they were still undeniably experts on the inner sect ranking list. Su Dan Novel Network.
When did the experts on the inner sect ranking list become so vulnerable?
...
Zuo Tian was carried back in the end. Those who witnessed Zhang Er Gou and Zuo Tian's battle firsthand gained a new understanding of Zhang Er Gou's ruthlessness.
Many people who watched the scene couldn't help but have a thought: it's better to provoke the King of Hell than Zhang Er Gou.
This was because Zuo Tian's condition at the end was too tragic, with no part of his body intact.
Not only were his skin and flesh torn all over, but his limbs were all broken by Zhang Er Gou. He certainly wouldn't recover in less than half a year to a year.
If Zhang Er Gou hadn't held himself back at the end, he might have crippled Zuo Tian directly.
...
"That kid Zhang Er Gou was too ruthless, wasn't he? Zuo Tian was barely breathing in the end!"
"Yeah, it was just a simple challenge match, did he have to be so brutal?"
"That's because you don't know how Zuo Tian and the others dealt with Zhang Er Gou. But even so, that kid Zhang Er Gou is indeed a bit too vicious!"
Criticism of Zhang Er Gou's ruthless attack was widespread.
However, the protagonist of this matter, Zhang Er Gou, was already preparing for his next challenge.
"Hey, can't you rest for a bit, kid? In such a hurry, are you rushing to reincarnate?"
Lin Yichen, Wang Teng, and others looked at the busy Zhang Er Gou with confusion.
Although Zhang Er Gou had vowed to challenge the experts on the inner sect ranking list, there was no need to be so hasty.
After winning two consecutive matches, shouldn't he rest and adjust?
"You guys know nothing. I have my reasons. Do you think I want to rush into the next challenge so quickly? Time waits for no one!"
After saying something cryptic, Zhang Er Gou ignored Lin Yichen and the others.
What they didn't know was that before Zhang Er Gou descended the mountain, Chi Yu had given him a strict order.
He had to find a way to enter the top twenty of the inner sect ranking list within a month.
This was an almost impossible task. Even if Zhang Er Gou challenged three people a day, it would take twenty-seven days, and he had to maintain a perfect winning streak.
Even a donkey on a collective farm wasn't worked this hard.
Yet, Zhang Er Gou was given such an order. When Zhang Er Gou complained with a bitter face that the task was impossible,
Chi Yu said that he could remove the armor he was wearing and use spiritual energy once he reached a certain stage.
However, it was best not to use them before reaching the top eighty on the inner sect ranking list, as it would not benefit him.
Zhang Er Gou followed Chi Yu's words unconditionally. He understood why Chi Yu wanted him to complete such an impossible challenge in such a short period.
For the past six months since entering Ling Yu Peak of the inner sect, Zhang Er Gou had been cultivating and training diligently every day.
Although his progress had been rapid during this period, his physical strength and speed had reached terrifying levels.
However, only through the baptism of battle could a cultivator truly grow. This was why Chi Yu insisted that he complete this impossible challenge.
He also had to publicize it widely in the inner sect, as if he couldn't even survive in the Misty Sect's inner sect, how could he venture into the outside world?
Of course, Chi Yu's intentions were naturally beyond the reach of others. Zhang Er Gou vaguely felt that he seemed to understand his master's intentions somewhat.
But he didn't understand the deeper meaning.
Lin Yichen and the others were even more unable to comprehend it.
However, whether they understood or not, Zhang Er Gou had no time to explain anything to them. Now, his mind was entirely focused on challenging the experts on the inner sect ranking list.
...
Half a day later, the ninety-eighth position on the inner sect ranking list changed. Zhang Er Gou successfully ascended to the ninety-eighth position.
"Zhang Er Gou is too much of a rogue! His moves in these few fights have all been simple punches. I can't even see his moves clearly."
"Yeah, it's so strange. Lin Yu lost so inexplicably. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought those two were acting!"
"Who's not? But the way Zhang Er Gou attacks is indeed bizarre. Have you noticed that Zhang Er Gou's attacks have no spiritual energy fluctuations at all?"
Some sharp-eyed spectators noticed the abnormality, but they weren't sure if what they observed was truly as they saw it.
"If you ask me, since Zhang Er Gou has such powerful skills, he should directly challenge the higher-ranked experts. Why waste time and effort?"
"You don't know about that. I guess Zhang Er Gou is cultivating a rare technique that requires battle to temper it."
"Secondly, doesn't Zhang Er Gou gain more shock value by challenging in this manner?"
The discussing disciples had their own opinions, but Zhang Er Gou had indeed become the biggest topic of conversation among the inner sect disciples.
"You guys don't know, right? Zhang Er Gou is going to challenge Zhuge Wen tonight!"
"Is he crazy? Fighting three consecutive battles in one day, is that something a normal person would do?"
"You can't look at Zhang Er Gou with normal eyes. Have you ever seen a normal person at the late stage of Foundation Establishment casually defeat a cultivator at the early stage of Golden Core?"
"And without sustaining any damage himself."
Everyone nodded in agreement...
In the evening, on the same battle platform, Zhang Er Gou and Zhuge Wen stood opposite each other.
The number of spectators today was even larger than on previous occasions, all because Zhang Er Gou's strange punch had been rumored to be miraculous.
Many inner sect disciples, unable to resist their curiosity, flocked to the scene to watch.
Of course, although the elders were also alerted by this matter, they refrained from attending the scene due to their status.
However, they were constantly monitoring the events unfolding on the battle platform.
Zhang Er Gou had undoubtedly become the biggest dark horse among the disciples who had entered the inner sect this term.
Not only were the inner sect disciples paying attention, but even the elders in charge of the major main peaks were also paying attention to this matter.
They thought more deeply than the disciples who were merely watching for entertainment, as they knew more profound things and thus had some understanding of Chi Yu's intentions.
The Grand Competition between the two sects was not far away, and the spots to participate had not yet been finalized. Anything was possible before then.
They were all ancient foxes, who didn't understand the nuances of the situation?
While the elders of the major main peaks of the inner sect had their own thoughts, the atmosphere on the battle platform had become quite mysterious.
"Do you think Zhang Er Gou will make Zhuge Wen suffer greatly this time?"
"Does that even need to be asked? Zhuge Wen will definitely receive the same treatment as Zuo Tian!"
On the battle platform, Zhuge Wen's face turned black. Before the fight even began, was his fate already sealed?
