Gu Xiaonan smiled and said, No, I am Gu Xiaonan, a partic.i.p.ant from the Gu family.

He lifted the badge hanging from his waist to show his ident.i.ty.

Gu Xiaonan? Wasnt he the one who advanced by default in the previous round? Could such a young kid really represent the Gu family?

Isnt he too young to be sent by the family to partic.i.p.ate in this tournament?

In a family, there were only fifteen slots, and the Gu family had actually wasted one of them!

The conversation between the two caught the attention of the spectators around them.

Does the Gu family have such a young child? Why havent I heard about him before?

Maybe hes from a branch of the family?

No way! Hes the son of the Gu familys first lady!

Wow! The Gu familys young miss hasnt married yet, right? Where did the son come from?

Did you forget? Five years ago, the Gu familys first lady had a child out of wedlock. The family head was furious and drove her out of the house. I guess that child must be the one they are talking about.

Oh my goodness, how dare she show her face with the child! Doesnt the Gu family care about this scandal? And they wasted such a precious spot in the selection tournament. What was the family head thinking?

I think the family head wants this illegitimate child to die on the arena. Otherwise, keeping him around would always remind everyone of the familys shame.

Oh f.u.c.k, now that you mention it, it does make sense!

But wait, if the family head wanted harm, would the first lady of the Gu family agree?

That Im not sure.

Well, in any case, this kid is just here to make up the numbers. Lets hope his opponent shows mercy.

I have a feeling thats unlikely. The opponent is from the Tang family, and they have always been at odds with the Gu family. They might go all out, causing the Gu family to lose dignity.

Gu Xiaonans opponent was Tang Donglai, a member of the Tang familys branch. He was twenty-two years old and already at the Eighth stage of the Earth Realm, with decent talent.

For someone his age to reach the eighth stage of the Earth Realm was considered quite impressive.

Tang Donglai couldnt gauge Gu Xiaonans cultivation level and saw him as an easy target.

If it were other partic.i.p.ants from the Gu family, Tang Donglai would certainly not hold back.

However, when he saw how young the boy was, he couldnt bring himself to go all out.

Are you Gu Xiaonan? In the arena, there are no friends, and bloodshed is common. Its not suitable for a kid like you to play here. Did the people from the Gu family trick you into coming up? Dont listen to them; quickly step down, Tang Donglai advised.

He had also heard the discussions from the spectators around him and suspected that Gu Xiaonan might have been misled.

Gu Xiaonan shook his head and replied, No one tricked me; I wanted to partic.i.p.ate myself. Uncle, lets not waste each others time. Make your move.

Tang Donglai chuckled. Alright, if you wont step down, Ill send you down myself!

With a push of his feet, he dashed towards Gu Xiaonan like a rocket.

The audience gasped in shock.

Tang Donglais strength was widely known; he could kill a second-stage spiritual beast with a single punch. This young kid was in for trouble!

Some timid individuals covered their eyes in fear.

Seated among the Tang family members, Tang s.h.i.+jun anxiously stood up and said, Tang Donglai, go easy on him! Dont hurt even a single hair on the little guy, do you hear?

Before she could finish her words, her voice got stuck, her mouth gaping as if it could fit an egg, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Not only Tang s.h.i.+jun, but also the majority of spectators on the field were left dumbfounded.

The b.l.o.o.d.y scene they imagined did not materialize.

With a whoosh, Gu Xiaonan disappeared from his original position.

His speed was surprisingly fast, catching everyone off guard.

He must have real skills!

Tang Donglai lunged forward but found himself grasping at thin air, leaving him stunned.

His perception was more acute than others.

The opponents speed was simply too fast!

Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind came from behind..
