It was clear to everyone that Lin Yu had put his full force behind this punch. If Gu Chenan were to take this punch head on, he would either die or become a vegetable at best.
Below the stage, everyone's eyes were wide open, some anticipating and some excited. The grievances and entanglements between a poor young man and a rich second generation elite was always a crowd pleaser.
Moreover, Gu Chenan had never had a good reputation, so there were many who were dissatisfied with him. Not to mention, many of the contestants today had complaints about Gu Chenan, a debauched heir, being a special guest. It was safe to say that except for Liu Mingrui and the Ye family, everyone else wanted to see Gu Chenan embarrassed.
As for Tang Yunjin, she was completely confused by the current situation.
Gu Chenan had previously been scared to death of Lin Yu, so why did he suddenly step forward now?
Could it be...
Tang Yunjin's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Mr. Gu came today specifically to prevent Lin Yu from winning the championship?
Mr. Gu and the Ye family were on good terms. He must have known beforehand that after Lin Yu won the championship, he would wipe out the entire Ye family, so he wanted to stop it!
Thinking of this, Tang Yunjin was overjoyed, but also somewhat puzzled.
She had never heard that Mr. Gu practiced ancient martial arts, yet he faced Lin Yu with a completely calm and composed expression. Could he be confident in defeating Lin Yu?
Before she could figure out the answer, she saw Lin Yu's figure flashing as he shot towards Gu Chenan's chest like an arrow, throwing out a punch with all his might.
With this punch, Lin Yu was going for the kill. He had put his utmost strength behind it.
However...
After throwing the punch, Lin Yu only felt like he had hit a ball of cotton—there was no impact at all.
And Gu Chenan's body didn't move an inch, still standing there with his hands in his pockets.
"What?!"
Lin Yu turned ghastly pale, his pupils also shaking.
But at this moment, an immense force like an abyssal whirlpool suddenly erupted from Gu Chenan's body and blasted towards Lin Yu's chest instantaneously!
Boom!
A loud noise. Lin Yu lost consciousness and flew backwards off the stage!
Silence!
The entire audience stared wide-eyed and gasped.
Lin Yu had just defeated countless top masters, easily taking down even the successor of the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Hand.
Yet now he had lost so thoroughly!
But...how exactly did Gu Chenan defeat Lin Yu?
From beginning to end, he had retained a completely nonchalant expression, without making any moves at all!
Could it be...
A frightening thought emerged in everyone's mind.
Could it be that Gu Chenan had been hiding his skills all along?!
Hiss~
Frightening, too frightening!
Everyone now looked at Gu Chenan with more admiration!
What they admired was not only Gu Chenan's unfathomable skills, but even more so his ability to keep it hidden for so long!
Previously, we had underestimated Young Master Gu!
Young Master Gu has such formidable skills, yet he has never used them to bully the weak!
He didn't even show a hint of it!
Ye Jinyuan and his son Ye Wenfei also stared dumbfounded at each other.
Previously Ye Jinyuan felt that if anything happened to the Ye family, they would not be able to rely on Gu Chenan.
But now it turns out Gu Chenan's skills were actually so powerful!
"Damn, Old Gu...you've hidden it so deeply?" Ye Wenfei couldn't help swallowing his saliva, completely disbelief.
As for Liu Mingrui, she was also surprised and covering her mouth. She thought she knew everything about Gu Chenan, but it turns out he still had this aspect she didn't know?
Tang Yunjin was no less shocked, staring with her mouth wide agape.
She did hope that Gu Chenan would defeat Lin Yu to prevent him from winning the championship.
But did Gu Chenan really have to win so strangely?
The innate true qi of the Tang family didn't seem to have any effect in front of Gu Chenan.
Everyone had different reactions - shock, tremors, puzzlement. However, in summary, there was one same thought in everyone's mind.
Young Master Gu may not be as simple as he looks!
How could a foppish second generation elite actually have such capabilities? Unimaginable!
Standing aloofly on the stage, Gu Chenan had an expression as majestic as a deity.
But in reality...
Looking at Lin Yu who had passed out under the stage, Gu Chenan felt extremely flustered internally.
[Damn, this has nothing to do with me!]
[It's because this old dragon Lin Yu used his full power against me.]
[This skill is Counter, not only defending but also reflecting back.]
[Having made the old dragon lose face this time, he will definitely come after me afterwards. Sigh.]
While ruminating inwardly, Gu Chenan actually felt somewhat regretful.
If Lin Yu didn't practice ancient martial arts or his physique was weaker, this Counter might have cost him his life.
Anyway, this was a skill given by the system, triggered passively. Even if he had countered the old dragon to death, it would have nothing to do with him.
"The victor has been decided. Young Master Gu is the winner!" At this time, Ye Wenfei walked onto the stage holding a script.
He looked around and announced, "So according to the prior agreement between Mr. Lin and Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu is the champion of this competition!"
Previously, when Lu Renjia was defeated, Ye Jinyuan and Ye Wenfei were scared out of their wits.
If they really had to hand out 50 million to Lin Yu, the already shriveling cash flow of the Ye family would probably be completely finished.
Fortunately, Gu Chenan had stepped forward!
He seemed to defeat Lin Yu and win the championship, but in actuality, he had indirectly saved the Ye family!
At this moment, aside from gratitude, what more Ye Jinyuan felt towards Gu Chenan was gratitude.
Ye Wenfei felt the same. He wished he could prostrate himself in front of Gu Chenan the moment he got off stage.
Young Master Gu had always kept his skills hidden, so why did he suddenly reveal them now?
Naturally, it was because he valued brotherhood highly and couldn't bear to see my Ye family go bankrupt. Hence, he didn't hesitate to expose his skills in order to defeat Lin Yu.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenfei's eyes reddened instantly.
Good brother, from now on, whatever you need this brother to do, just say one word!
Even if Young Master Gu took a liking to my butt, just give me a look without even having to speak, and I'd stick my butt out to be spanked without blinking an eye!
"Champion?"
Hearing Ye Wenfei's words, Gu Chenan was given a huge shock.
No, don't, anything but that.
Don't mess with the plot! My match with Lin Yu had nothing to do with the championship!
"Master Ye, I don't think this is appropriate. After all, I didn't sign up for the competition," Gu Chenan tried to decline.
"Very appropriate!" Ye Wenfei nodded heavily. Today you have to be the champion even if you actually aren't.
I don't want my dad to hand out 50 million to someone else. I still need to keep that money to have palm reading sessions with big-breasted girls!
Ye Wenfei looked towards the other contestants below the stage and announced loudly: "Anyone who disagrees is welcome to come up to challenge!"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's eyes constricted sharply.
[Damn you! Listen to what nonsense you're spewing!]
[I can only use that skill once. Now anyone below could come up and trash me thoroughly.]
[Are you trying to see what I'd look like after being beaten sh*tless?!]
But Gu Chenan's worries were redundant.
Everyone below looked at each other, but no one dared to go up.
Who would dare to? Lin Yu had just beaten them up earlier, and even took down Lu Renjia effortlessly.
Yet Gu Chenan had now thrashed Lin Yu.
By approximation, it was equivalent to Gu Chenan giving them two beatings!
Everyone shook their heads incessantly, only able to lament.
Young Master Gu, formidable beyond measure!
