Chapter 178: Single-Handedly Suppressing the Instructor

‘Don’t panic!’

‘Gu Qing’s Physical Strength is just higher than mine!’

‘His Spiritual Strength isn’t as good as mine!’

‘I can project my spirit to attack his consciousness from a distance!’

‘I will win!’

Liu Yue did her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she immediately unleashed her ultimate spiritual killing move at top speed.

Her eyes narrowed in concentration.

The next moment.

An incredibly dense surge of Spiritual Power instantly erupted from her head.

It transformed into a long, thin spiritual viper.

It slithered through the air like lightning.

And shot toward the spot between Gu Qing’s eyebrows at extreme speed.

Hm?

Gu Qing sensed the spiritual fluctuations in the air and realized Liu Yue had made her move.

But he was confident. He didn’t dodge, choosing to take the hit head-on.

“PFFT!”

There was a faint sound.

Gu Qing felt a slight itch between his eyebrows.

In a dimension he couldn’t see,

an invisible spiritual viper had accurately struck the spot between his eyebrows, instantly burrowing into his brain.

‘I won!’

Seeing her attack land and successfully invade Gu Qing’s brain, Liu Yue couldn’t help but smile in delight.

She didn’t waste even a millisecond, immediately manipulating the invisible spiritual viper remotely at top speed to wreak havoc in Gu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

She was about to perform an incredibly stunning, no-contact victory for everyone present.

But the very instant she made her move,

a majestic force of spiritual backlash suddenly erupted from the depths of Gu Qing’s mind. It followed the path the spiritual viper had taken, rushing all the way back to her own brain.

Before she could even react,

the next second,

she felt as if her head had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

A splitting headache instantly assaulted her.

With a thud, she collapsed to her knees.

Then, her body went limp and she crumpled completely to the ground.

“It hurts, it hurts so much!”

“So painful!”

“Argh—!!”

Liu Yue felt like her brain was about to explode. The pain twisted her features as she clutched her head, writhing on the ground and moaning incessantly.

Seeing this scene unfold, Xia Shuran was completely stunned.

Why was this American-born Chinese girl, who had been perfectly fine a moment ago, suddenly on the ground, clutching her head and writhing in pain?

Seeing the confusion on her face, Zhao Chuan, who was on the steps, explained,

“Liu Yue just projected her spirit to attack your senior, but her Spiritual Strength was far inferior to his, so she suffered a spiritual backlash.”

‘Spirit projection?’

‘Spiritual backlash?’

Xia Shuran’s eyes lit up. Her gaze shifted from Liu Yue, who was still writhing on the ground, to Gu Qing, who hadn’t moved a single step the entire time. A trace of adoration appeared in her eyes.

‘Senior is so strong…’

‘He just stood there from beginning to end, and those two Extraordinary Awakened defeated themselves…’

‘Can I become as strong as Senior in the future?’

‘Yes, I must train hard from now on. I can’t let Senior leave me too far behind.’

‘Let’s do this!’

Xia Shuran cheered herself on internally.

At that moment, Zhao Chuan walked down from the steps and headed straight for Gu Qing.

He strolled unhurriedly until he was ten meters in front of Gu Qing, then stopped, a faint, unreadable smile on his face.

“Gu Qing, you really didn’t disappoint me.”

“Not only is your Biological Level at the peak of Tier Nine Great Perfection, but you’re also a rare Qi Blood Spirit Dual Cultivator.”

“No wonder Steward Tian thinks so highly of you, even breaking the rules to place you in the Awakened Squad.”

As Zhao Chuan spoke,

Wu Jiahao, who had previously knocked himself unconscious, groggily came to on the floor.

And Liu Yue, who had been writhing on the ground with a headache just moments ago, also began to recover.

Both of them heard Zhao Chuan’s words, and their hearts filled with shock. Disbelief was written all over their faces.

‘Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection?’

‘Qi Blood Spirit Dual Cultivation?’

‘How is that possible?!’

‘Gu Qing is just an Extraordinary Contactor! How could he possibly be so strong?!’

‘There must be a mistake somewhere!!’

Whether it was Wu Jiahao or Liu Yue, as Extraordinary Awakened, neither of them was willing to accept the reality before them. They were just deceiving themselves.

But you couldn’t blame them. The truth was simply too outrageous.

As an Extraordinary Contactor of the same age as them, Gu Qing’s Biological Level logically shouldn’t be as high as Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection.

And it was even more impossible for him to be a Qi Blood Spirit Dual Cultivator.

After all, it was a well-known law of this world that Extraordinary Awakened were superior to Extraordinary Contactors.

It was just that Gu Qing had secretly used cheats, completely shattering this law.

Just then, Zhao Chuan, the Awakened Squad’s instructor, smiled at Gu Qing and said,

“Gu Qing, my Biological Level is also at Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection. Just like you, I’m only one step away from becoming an Advanced Creature.”

“Since our Levels are the same, how about we have a sparring match?”

“Of course, for fairness’s sake, I won’t use my Superpower. How about it?”

The moment he said this, everyone present was visibly stunned, momentarily wondering if they had misheard.

‘What is going on?!’

‘A dignified instructor is actually challenging a member of his own team?’

‘Is this plot development even right?!’

Wu Jiahao was shocked. Liu Yue was shocked. Xia Shuran was shocked too.

Gu Qing wasn’t shocked, just a little surprised.

But he wasn’t surprised that Zhao Chuan challenged him. He was surprised that Zhao Chuan’s strength was so pathetic.

‘This is the instructor of an Awakened Squad, and his strength is only Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection?’

‘Isn’t that a bit too low?’

But on second thought, it actually wasn’t that low.

After all, Advanced Creatures were, at minimum, powerhouses at the Vice Captain Level.

And this Zhao Chuan was just the instructor of a newly formed Awakened Squad.

It was perfectly normal for his strength to only be at Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection.

‘The abnormal one is actually me.’
