C7 Cold as Water in the Night

"Yu'er, your father has never lost a single battle in his twenty years of roaming the Azure Lands. Who would've thought that all of his efforts would come to naught today?" Furthermore, it was a complete failure. " Gu Yun looked at the broken armor in front of his chest. His voice was like a whisper. He bent his body and used his hands to support a towering tree. His hands were deeply embedded into the trunk of the tree.

"Father …" The young Martial Cultivator shouted in despair. The armor on his body was now nothing more than pieces of metal, stained with large chunks of blood that had congealed into purple.

"Yu'er, hurry up and leave. If they catch up, none of us will be able to escape." Gu Yun pushed the young man away and said.

"Father, victory or defeat is a common occurrence in war. We will break out of this encirclement together and take back the shame we have suffered today." The young man's eyes were filled with tears. "He's also worthy of the ten thousand dead brothers …"

"Yu'er …" Gu Yun pondered and made a decision in his heart. This time, he said in a very calm tone, "You said we died in battle. It would be easier to die for our country." Or would it be easier to take revenge after we go back, endure the humiliation, get scolded by others, and get back on our feet? "

"This …"

He slightly raised his head and lightly said, "Father is already old. It's best if you leave the simpler tasks to me!"

Gu Yu was caught off guard and was thrown several hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. The only sound that could be heard was a cry that shook the heavens from the forest they were hiding in just a moment ago, and a resplendent Starlight rushed up to the sky: "Gu Yun is here, so come and die quickly!

Then, a sneer came from the sky, "Gu Yun, you are courting death, no wonder I …" A pitch-black sword beam descended from the sky, and the eerie sound of a ghost's howl pierced his eardrums.

"Ah!

Gu Fann suddenly sat up from the ground. His forehead was full of cold sweat. His breathing became rapid and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"Young master, you're awake." A young girl's voice sounded in his ears, like a nightingale.

When Gu Fann turned around, he saw a young girl wearing a silver mouse leather jacket standing obediently beside him. Gu Fann recognized her as one of his mother's servants, Liu'er.

"Madam said that when the young master wakes up, she wants me to inform the kitchen to prepare some food for you." Liu'er's crisp voice was extremely pleasing to Gu Fann's ears.

Gu Fann frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What time is it now?"

Liu'er replied in a low voice, "Young master, it's time to announce it …"

"What?" I actually slept until Shen Chao! " Gu Fann touched his painful forehead. In a trance, he felt that he didn't get a good rest.

"The Madam has instructed the Young Master to eat at the Western Flower Hall on time." Liu'er raised her head and looked at Gu Fann with her watery eyes. She said, "The Madam also told me to bring a message to Young Master that the body is the foundation of martial arts cultivation. You can't overdo it."

"Got it, you can go back." Gu Fann waved to Liu'er to leave, but a trace of warmth appeared in his heart.

"Yes, young master."

After the servant left, Gu Fann didn't go back to his room. He sat on the ground blankly as many scenes from his' past life 'flashed through his mind. In his memory, the battle that had caused Shang's death was too cruel and intense, to the point that it was barely discernible after the cycle of reincarnation.

Gu Fann's eyes were moist, the dream scene seemed to intersect in front of his eyes again. Even though he was a 7 foot tall man, his nose was still sore. If Gu Fann, who was beside him at that time, and a Star Pride Ranker like Gu Yu, then how could his Gu Family have fallen to such a state?

"In this life, this will never happen again!"

Gu Fann stood up and wiped away his tears. He did not return to his room to rest. Instead, he continued cultivating in the cold and clear wind.

"I am different from those who start from scratch and train in the martial way. I have all the resources a peerless expert should have, and I even have two lifetimes' worth of memories. The only thing I lack is a strong body. If even I can't grow up like this, Gu Yun, Gu Yun, are you still worthy to be a Star Rank Ranker? "

Just having a mind full of martial arts spirit and martial arts knowledge didn't have any practical benefits. If he really wanted to have a strong power, it was enough to change his destiny. He could only train hard and train harder than others, so that his body could return to its previous state as soon as possible.

Gu Fann stayed in the back garden for half a month. In this half month, besides the necessary food and drink, Gu Fann spent the rest of his time cultivating.

This kind of high-intensity training, coupled with the natural Expert of Martial Dao's experience, made Gu Fann train hard for a day, which was equivalent to three to five days of training for ordinary people. Gu Fann's hard work could even be described as crazy.

15 days later, night time.

Pingyuan Marquis's residence was in a secluded corner. The large platform here was used by clan priests, so normally, no one would come here. The lanterns hung from the tall trees, and the moonlight was already gone. However, a figure was still flying up and down the courtyard, like an immortal fairy who would never be tired.

Gu Fann was afraid of disturbing the rest's rest, so he chose to cultivate here for the next fifteen days.

"Golden Core Wu Zhao!" Gu Fann put his fist on his abdomen and punched out with his right fist that was the size of a wooden fish. Gu Fann put his foot on his abdomen and punched out his right fist that was the size of a wooden fish.

"Gale Grass!"

Gu Fann turned his fists into palms, crossed his legs, and spun in a circle in the air. The moment he landed, he hit the air, causing a large amount of air to explode and create a small hurricane. Gu Fann followed up with a kick and punched the air with both of his fists. Immediately, he performed the third move:

"Immeasurable Sea!"

Gu Fann yelled and opened his hands. The fist power tore through the air, as if it turned into a sea wave that created a straight air wave. Then, it turned into a boundless ocean.

After half a month of tough training, Gu Fann had already stepped into the Middle Heaven Level and entered the ranks of Martial Cultivator. This was also the basic difference between martial artists and ordinary people. And Gu Fann, relying on the foundation of his previous world's cultivation and his own unremitting efforts, actually had the strength to faintly break through the limits of his Heaven Level!

Five Element Fist, one move after another, was executed over and over again under Gu Fann's hands. The air around Gu Fann became more and more turbulent. The sound of air colliding with each other was like a monstrous wave, causing even the air around him to become viscous. Wherever the gust of wind from the fist passed by, a crisp crackling sound could be heard. The branches of the trees were all broken.

"Breaking Stone, breaking the clouds!"

Gu Fann kicked off the ground and his body soared into the sky. At this moment, his fists were like two iron hammers in his hands.

BOOM! "Boom!

There were two muffled sounds, and three steps away, two huge fake rocks had already turned into dust.

"Alright!" He only heard a familiar voice behind the fake mountain rock. Under the dim light of the lantern, the figure that Gu Fann saw was Gu Yu, who was dressed in black clothes.

In this half a month, no one from Gu Family saw Gu Yu, but Gu Yu seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world. This made Madam Yu Jue's heart burn with anxiety, but it was not easy for her to search everywhere, because in Tianjing City, the water was deep, and any rumors would be fabricated by someone with ulterior motives. Accumulation of feathers, loss of life, and destruction of bones were common in places like Tianjing City.

"Feather …" The moment Gu Fann saw Gu Fann, he became agitated and shouted, "Yu'er!" He almost blurted it out, but at this moment, he suddenly froze and recalled his current identity. He lowered his head and sighed, "It's good that you're back … Everyone's worried about you. " As Gu Fann spoke, his face turned slightly pale. The Cloud Piercing Technique consumed a lot of physical strength. Gu Fann had improved it these days, and combined with his own experience, he had gotten rid of a flashy aura. Even so, the consumption of physical strength was still enormous.

Gu Yu walked over quickly, patted Gu Fann on the shoulder and said, "I saw some foppish rich kids bullying good girls, so I went to beat them up. When I hit them, I hurt a guy's leg, I heard later that he was Assistant Minister Huang's nephew." Gu Yu looked at Gu Fann and laughed, "That brat didn't see my face clearly. In order to not cause trouble for our family, I hid within the Imperial Guards and didn't come back."

What Gu Yu said coincided with Madam Yu Jue and Gu Fann's guess. Gu Fann did not suspect anymore and looked at Gu Fann. He shook his head and said, "Yu, have you ever thought about how anxious our family would be? "You're not going to report your whereabouts to your family …" He sighed and continued, "You have caused so much trouble. In the past, my family would forgive you. Wouldn't they forgive you this time around?"

Hearing Gu Fann's words, Gu Yu looked at him with a strange expression. He frowned and said hesitantly, "Strange, Brother, why do I feel like Father said those words to me, and that he has the same attitude when he speaks to you …" He knocked himself on the forehead and said to himself, "Could it be that I made a mistake? "People always say that I'm like my father, and you're like my mother …"

Gu Fann immediately became alert when he heard Gu Yu's words. He was afraid that Gu Yu would see through him, so he coughed lightly and said to Gu Yu, "Big brother, you're too worried …"
