Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 1459 - 1104: Strength Determines Confidence!
"You... Immortal Lady, what did you say? Participating in the contest?" The servant boy was momentarily taken aback, his expression filled with surprise and doubt, "Haven’t you already passed Master Miao Wu’s three challenges and advanced directly to the semifinals?"
"But I’m just a fresh newcomer, so I think it’s better to know my opponents thoroughly!" Gu Changsheng shrugged, saying matter-of-factly, "Thus, I voluntarily give up the chance to go straight to the semifinals!"
"Huh?" The messenger boy was stunned, and there were a few snorts from the next room.
"Immortal Lady, are you saying you’d give up the opportunity to get directly into the semifinals? Did I get it wrong? This is a chance and glory that many dream of!"
"That’s right! I want to give up the chance to go directly into the semifinals! I’ll start from the first round of the Nirvana Martial Contest and fight all the way up!" Gu Changsheng smiled upon hearing this.
She had another thing unsaid, that she wanted to use her strength to prove that while she could rely on her looks, what she truly relied on was her power!
Power!
Do you understand?
Screw you, I’m going to use my actions to shatter your despicable faces and the sordid rumors that I won by relying on Shi Wujue’s influence!
Is it that hard to admit you’re not as good as me?
In other words, losing to me should be seen as an honor for those prodigious sons of the Hidden World Clan!
A bunch of blind fools!
Hmph!
For some reason, as soon as the messenger boy heard Gu Changsheng say she would fight round by round, he felt a chill instinctively.
Whether it was because of Gu Changsheng’s slightly oppressive tone, or his subconscious reaction after recalling the Immortal Lady’s fierce manner yesterday!
In any case, the messenger boy suddenly felt a bit sorry for those noble family scions who were about to compete. In the initial rounds, it’s an elimination contest with uneven strengths—who would be unfortunate enough to draw the Immortal Lady?
If one happens to be weak, wouldn’t they be completely overpowered?
As the thought ran through the messenger boy’s mind, so did it through the minds of the dozens of youth from the Hidden World Clan seated on either side of the arena.
In fact, quite a few had already wilted like frostbitten eggplants upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s decision to compete from the very first round.
Outside rumors flew wild, saying half of the Hidden World Clan conspired due to Shi Wujue’s reputation to let her pass deliberately, but they were clear that Gu Changsheng, who kicked down several people consecutively, able even to kick Helan Family’s eldest son Helan Bailong sky-high, could not have done so by fluke!
If managing to knock those few down was luck, then overcoming three moves from Master Miao Wu and snatching the horsetail whisk from her hands was enough to demonstrate Gu Changsheng’s strength!
The fact that Master Miao Wu is called the Goddess of Mercy doesn’t spring out of thin air; her capabilities are indeed formidable, and she doesn’t give face to anyone—letting Gu Changsheng through deliberately for Shi Wujue’s sake? That’s basically impossible!
However, the underlying facts behind these events remain known only to the Hidden World Clan scions, while the common folk spectating below remain oblivious, easily misled, aren’t they?
Yet, now, just thinking about Gu Changsheng partaking in the first few elimination rounds of the Nirvana Martial Contest, how could the young geniuses competing not feel uneasy?
What if they indeed have the misfortune to draw her as an opponent?
All they could do was silently pray internally for luck to favor them, for their fortune to peak, hoping to not encounter Gu Changsheng in the initial rounds!
After all, there’s more than sixty participants in the Nirvana Martial Contest, and the odds of facing Gu Changsheng are incredibly slim!
Among them, particularly those scions of the families Gu Changsheng has offended, they felt even more uneasy!
For other families, it wasn’t too bad—among the five families Gu Changsheng offended, it seemed, perhaps, maybe, they were in for some harsh treatment...
Bear in mind that on the Nirvana Martial Contest arena, it has been stated beforehand that life and death are not accounted for...
Although the scions of the ten great families secretly have a mutual understanding to avoid fatal blows, unless reaching critical moments in the finals...
But...
But this emergent Immortal Lady from Medicine King Valley seemed utterly unwilling to partake in such conventions!
So what then?
What if one truly got beaten to death?
Dead is dead!
Even if one’s family could seek revenge afterward, death is irrevocable—what’s the point of avenging a deceased loved one?
Fear of death is innate to humans!
Thus, half the youths from the Hidden World Clan who knew their martial arts were inferior and weren’t matches for Gu Changsheng felt very anxious!
Not only were those youths anxious, but even the elders on the main stand were deeply troubled!
This Immortal is surely no pushover!
Her incident, over merely a seat, showing willingness to resort to violence, already proves she’s not someone to mess with! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Suppose a clan’s youth meets her during the early elimination rounds—wouldn’t that be like a sheep stepping into a tiger’s mouth, walking to certain death?
It has to be said, those Hidden World Clan Elders whom Gu Changsheng had mocked felt unanimously that Gu Changsheng would definitely not adhere to gentlemen’s agreements—after all, she dared mock even the clan elders, is there anything she wouldn’t do?
