Meanwhile, Gojo who had been silently observing the youth finally opened his mouth and laughed a little. "Oi, has anyone ever told you, your face is so stupidly annoying? Seriously, I can't fathom what it's like to be born with a face that gives people the ick whenever you talk to them.."
And with that, the whole Hall went silent. Gojo finished his words with a little laugh, and the youth, Luo Li's face transitioned from a victorious smile into an ugly expression in a split second.
His words weren't loud, yet it was audible enough for the entire hall to hear.
"Bastard who doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!! If you leave this place alive, I, Luo Li will renounce my name!!"
'Ah, he said it, he said it...'
Luo Li's rage was reaching into the Heavens, meanwhile, Gojo was cracking up from the overused and cliché Chinese manhua quotes.
"Hold on, are you not going to add that I have eyes but I can't see Mt. Tai or that I don't know how death is spelt? Go on, say it .." Gojo spoke in between his laughs and was even wheezing at this point, while Luo Li was fuming.
"Chen Zhen really has eyes but cannot see Mt. Tai. Luo Li is at the 5th layer of the Body Tempering realm and is not knowing to be the forgiving type."
"Yeah. He's probably just going to die in one move. After all, how strong could he be?"
Meanwhile, as the commentators began their discussions, Luo Li had already made a move.
"Courting Death!!"
With a loud roar, Luo Li's clenched right fist smashed out with immense ferocity. Insane power and strength, packed into one punch for a devastating result.
"Heavenly Luo Fist!!"
*BANG!*
"Not good. Luo Li's going all out right from the beginning. He really intends of killing Chen Zhen!"
The bystanders quickly recognised the killing signature move Luo Li used right off the bat. But Gojo was unfazed. The six eyes' god like perception made it so that an instant in reality for an ordinary person was akin to a minute for him.
The air itself was torn apart from the insane force, as the ground beneath their feet shattered. The dust settled, revealing Luo Li in a punching pose, yet rather than what he expected, there was no bloodied Chen Zhen sprawled out on the ground from his attack..
"You know, I'm used to being untouchable."
Luo Li's eyes widened in shock when he recognised a voice behind his ear. Gojo now stood behind him, their backs touching, with his hands still in his pockets and a smirk on his face.
"What? How did he?!!"
"How did Chen Zhen get so fast, I thought he couldn't cultivate?!"
The bystanders were stunned by the result, yet Luo Li's face turned even darker. A backhanded punch smashed towards Gojo's head followed by multiple two piece and three piece combos that were powerful enough to tear apart anyone below the 5th layer of the Body Tempering realm. But, while Gojo was a layer lower than Luo Li, the sheer concentration and sharpness of his physical strength and the advantage of the six eyes granted him the ability to fight above his realm.
As for what his limits were, even he had no idea.
His body moved like a leaf in the wind. None of the attacks even came close to touching his robes. He twisted and turned as if he was break dancing, evading every single punch and kick with minimal effort and a carefree smile on his face.
"Stop running and fight back!!"
Luo Li roared out in annoyance. He just couldn't believe what was happening. How could this bloody fool transform from a complete cripple to someone who was able to go toe to toe with him in just a few days.
"Oh say less.."
Letting out a laugh, he blitzed towards Luo Li in a burst of speed, appearing before the youth in the split of a second, and got in his face, bypassing his guard easily.
"So fast!!"
"Chen Zhen isn't even using any martial techniques, it's just pure power?!"
"How the hell is he doing all of this with a blindfold on?"
The bystanders were amazed at his display. Yet he knew it was all thanks to the six eyes. Due to its unique abilities his efficiency in his speed and other parameters was close to a 100 percent. The six eyes could calculate exactly how much strength he would need to operate with, within his cultivation realm and this made him unstoppable, as he knew just how much force he would knew to achieve devastating effects. Unlike most cultivators who could barely summon all of their strength. The six eyes was the ultimate cheat code.
"You!!"
Even Luo Li was stunned by just how quickly Gojo had bypassed his guard. In haste, he took a wrong step back and nearly tripped, as another punch swept out, attempting to force the white haired youth back.
However this time, Gojo didn't evade. He simply stretched out his hand and grabbed Luo Li's punch. With a laugh, he forced the youth's hand open and interlocked their fingers and then..
*BANG!*
A palm smashed into the youth's abdomen, the strength that accompanied it caused his skin to ripple, knocking the wind out of his lungs instantly and a blood mist burst out from his mouth as a scream was ripped from his throat.
Gojo interlocked their fingers, so he wouldn't go flying off after that one attack.
"There's more where that came from!" A devious smile was plastered all over Gojo's handsome face.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
Two palms smashed into the youth's abdomen, one after the other, all drawing blood and the combo was finished off with a spin kick that sent him crashing into a pillar. By the time he landed on the ground, he was already unconscious.
"Sigh, I'm getting rusty.."
Gojo instead of celebrating, began stretching his waist and cracking his neck, with a little hint of regret on his face. The gap between the fourth and fifth layer of the body tempering realm was unusually wide. While the first four layers focused on the skin, the fifth, focused on strengthening the bones and muscles. Luo Li who had been a fifth layered body tempering cultivator for a while had obviously bad ample time to temper his bones and muscles, yet that combo from Gojo took him out completely.
And this was without a martial technique. Gojo descended into deep thought for a moment there. Wondering just how strong he would be if he could had a martial technique in his arsenal. He had seen the effects of Luo Li's Luo God palm. From the little he gleaned from the technique, he saw it triple Luo Li's punching force and take his strength to the extreme for a moment there.
It was indeed worthy of being a killer signature move.
With a deep breath, he patted his robes and walked back to the elder with a wide smile on his face.
"You didn't kill him, did you?" The elder asked with a hint of concern on his face. Luo Li, wasn't the forgiving type, just like his brother and his father. For people like them who couldn't deal with humiliation, they'd get back at someone for the least mistake. He'd seen many geniuses fall at their wicked hands, yet he was powerless to change anything.
"No no. I held back. Truth to be told, I think I'm getting rusty.." Gojo wrapped his hand around the back of his neck and spoke with a sorrowful expression that caused the elder's face to blacken once more.
"What layer of body tempering have you reached? To be able to knock Luo Li out like that, you must be at least a layer or two higher than him no?" The elder attempted to probe, yet Gojo smiled and released his aura for everyone present to see his cultivation realm.
"Beginning stages of the fourth layer?"
"What?!!"
"Dear God!!"
"Monster!"
The bystanders were gobsmacked. Of course it wasn't that of a big deal to jump layers and fight those ahead, yet the manner in which Gojo had done it was shocking. Luo Li was completely outclassed by someone who was in the beginning stages of the fourth layer and the person had done it without a single martial technique and with a bloody blindfold on. The disrespect was insane.
"Haha" Gojo laughed awkwardly and turned to the gobsmacked elder. "Can I get registered now? I'm hungry and I'm sleepy." Gojo faked a yawn, and the elder shook his head and continued filling out his form.
"Here. Your new home is Cave 32B. You can find it in District 15. Also.."
The old man tossed him a small tag that contained his apartment's number and then a small round bag that could be tied to the waist.
"Hold on, is that.."
Gojo touched the small bag and sent his consciousness into it for a moment and his face beamed into a wide smile. It was a Qiankun bag. An inventory type spiritual treasure.
"Inside of the Qiankun bag you'll find your sect badge, a copy of the rule of law, 20 spiritual stones and an additional 2 Pure Yuan pills."
The old man spoke and forced a small smile. He had to be generous to this blindfolded brat even though his attitude stank.
"Why thank you.." Gojo bowed his gently and placed the Qiankun bag in his pocket under the envious gazes of everyone present.
"Also all outer disciples are required to go on missions at least once a month. Upon Successful completion of missions you will be rewarded handsomely by the sect." The old man finished his words and reclined in his seat once more, closing his eyes.
"You know, elder Feng, I have a feeling you and I will become great friends in future.." Gojo saw the old man lift a brow at his words yet didn't bother to reply, as he walked away.
"Chen Zhen!"
He was about several meters away from the entrance of the Registration Hall when he heard someone call out his name. As he turned his head to the person, his gaze finally landed on an otherworldly beauty dressed in a long white and gold robe. Her luscious black hair flowed down to her waist, her face like it was carved by angels, soft pink lips that were pursed and a figure that would every model on Earth to shame.
The bystanders quickly gathered around for the commotion, and began gossiping instantly. The reunion of two former lovers.
