Chapter 126: Death of the charm of wood

Confessing defeat…..

Fang Yuan's words were still lingering in the ears of the crowd.

Instantly, almost all of Master Gu ranked two under the stone building looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

Fang Yuan ignored them; he held his hand and stood on the spot with an indifferent expression.

“Acknowledging defeat? He immediately admitted defeat, did I hear wrong?”

“He is Fang Yuan? He didn't even have the guts to come out, haha. ”

“We acknowledge Xiong Li's strength, he is indeed strong. But even if you want to admit defeat, at least do that after a formality. By admitting defeat directly, not only did he show that he was a coward, he even desecrated the clan.”

The whisper was like a ripple in a calm lake.

Gu Masters' gaze turned from surprised to hateful, scornful, and self-indulgent.

Many Gu clan masters of the Gu Yue felt uneasy; the gazes of the Xiong and Bai clan's Master Gu were like invisible needles, piercing their pride.

Fang Yuan was a member of the Gu Yue clan, with him directly admitting defeat, this made them feel completely humiliated.

“How can you admit defeat? Fang Yuan, you are a man from Gu Yue village, stand up and fight bravely with Xiong Li!”

"Even if you lose, it won't be anything serious."

"If you don't even have the guts to get out, then it will really throw away our dignity!"

Some Gu clan master Gu Yue shouted and urged Fang Yuan to accept the challenge.

Fang Yuan was indifferent; to him, these words were like a barking dog.

The so-called name, face, and honor were simply cakes painted on paper; shackles used by the higher-ups to bind members of the organization.

Master Gu is also a tied dog.

Xiong Li looked at Fang Yuan and suddenly laughed, “I'm really disappointed. Is this the courage of Gu Yue village?”

The Gu Yue Clan, Gu Masters looked unsightly when they heard this.

The sound of laughter came from the side of Xiong village, and even Master Gu of Bai village looked at the Gu Yue clan with ridicule.

The people around Fang Yuan started to drift away. Everyone made a distance from him; their faces were filled with shame.

Immediately, there was no one within five steps of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan stood alone. My way or highway (1), his expression was calm compared to the surroundings.

The others liked his bold reputation, but Fang Yuan scoffed at him. It makes others hate it.

Since Fang Yuan hated fame, he rejected the values of society. Denying this value system means rejecting people who live their lives by following these values.

Other people will naturally not deny their own values, otherwise they will feel that they are living the wrong way. Thus, they subconsciously began to reject and boycott Fang Yuan.

The faint-hearted will be defeated by such rejection and they will change themselves to fit the public.

However, Fang Yuan needed such a refusal. He has too many secrets on him and he has to be alone. At the same time, these people were not worthy of being friends. In his memories, the three villages of Qing Mao Mountain barely survived the wolf tide, but an accident two years later would completely destroy them and turn the entire Qing Mao Mountain into a remote area.

All Fang Yuan needed was to use this time to improve himself as much as possible, then leave the clan and avoid a fatal disaster.

Gu Yue Qing Shu – Master Gu ranked second number one in the Gu Yue Clan – inevitably stood looking at this situation.

"Xiong Li, how about arguing with me?"

“Hehe, what will we fight?” Xiong Li smiled, but his expression was serious.

Gu Yue Qing Shu did not stare at Xiong Li; she slightly raised her palm and quietly moved her ancient essence, her eyes vigilantly looking at the green vine that was slowly growing out of her palm.

He calmly said, “Let's compete with your strength. If you can break away from my green wine ties, I will admit defeat. Is that okay?"

“Hehe, good suggestion, let's do it like that.” Xiong Li grinned, his eyes emitting a bright light.

He inwardly thought, I already have the strength of a bear and combining it with the increase in strength from Grand Bear Gu, I have the strength of two bears. Even though the green vine is hard, I have absolute assurance of destroying it with the power of two bears. Xiong Jiang won against Bai Bing Yi and if I defeat Qing Shu, it will give us a great reputation!

Qing Shu gently smiled. Without speaking, he stretched out both of his hands; two green vines sprouted from his palm. Like two nimble green pythons, the two vines climbed up Xiong Li and twisted its body.

Xiong Li's hands were at his waist; green vines coiled up on both of his arms and instantly made a dozen circles around them, tightly tying his hands with his back.

Master Gu at the scene could not take his eyes off this contest.

"Please." Qing Shu said to Xiong Li.

Xiong Li opened his eyes. He tightly clenched his fists and began to give strength.

Every muscle in his body seemed to protrude like a lump on top of a huge rock.

Bear power!

Explosions.

The green vines began to break under his overwhelming strength.

“Hahaha, brother Qing Shu, it seems like the winner of this contest is mine!” Xiong Li used his strength to break free, but he still had enough energy to carry on a conversation.

The other Gu clan master Gu Yue was also the same. Gu Yue Qing Shu was the number one person among them and if she lost the contest, the Gu Yue Clan would really lose their face this time around!

"Not necessarily." Gu Yue Qing Shu smiled, her eyes showing confidence.

When he finished speaking, the green vines in his hand started to change. The jade color that was originally like green suddenly turned into a dark green color. At the same time, the vines also became thicker and wide green leaves began to grow on it.

Xiong Li's face changed, he felt the circular power of the green wine had increased by more than tenfold.

What made him even more worried was that the green vines he had broken down started to grow and reconnect with the damaged area.

Great Bear Gu!

He sensed the situation was going bad and immediately used Grand Bear Gu in his hole.

Soon, his hair began to stiffen like steel needles. The muscles all over his body enlarged and he seemed to become much taller and bigger.

The power of two bears!

The green vines let out a creaking sound but were still able to withstand this terrifying strength, firmly restraining Xiong Li.

Xiong Li's face became extremely red, and he exerted all his strength to break the green vines. But in the end, he could only break one green tendril and could not continue anymore.

"I'm lost." He unleashed the support power of Grand Bear Gu and said while panting.

"You let me win." Qing Shu cupped her hands and took the green vines.

"Senior Qing Shu, you are the best." The Gu Clan Master Gu Yue was overjoyed.

“Senior Qing Shu really deserves her name. Brother can't compare to him at all. ” Fang Zheng stood beside Qing Shu and looked at Qing Shu respectfully.

Xiong Li's gaze was complicated as he looked at Gu Yue Qing Shu. He had progressed and obtained the Brown Bear Innate Strength Gu, but Qing Shu had also progressed. Although he did not know what the latter used, but this was his true rival. As for that Fang Yuan, he was only a beginner and there was nothing to worry about.

"That's really Gu Wood Charm," Fang Yuan thought as he observed Qing Shu from afar.

Xiong Li found nothing while facing Gu Yue Qing Shu. Two emerald green leaves grew in Gu Yue Qing Shu's hair.

This was a sign of the use of the Wood Charms Gu.

The so-called Wood Spell was a tree spirit.

Using Wood Charm Gu could let one battle as a tree spirit.

The tree spirit was an unusual creature. It could directly absorb the natural essence in the air and use it.

Master Gu could not do this, they could only use the primordial essence in their aperture.

When one used the Wood Spell gu, they could be the embodiment of the Wood Spell tree spirit and would be able to directly absorb the natural essence in the air and replenish their primordial essence. It was the same as absorbing the primordial essence from the ancient stone.

When normal Master Gu fought, they were unable to divide their minds and absorb the primordial essence of the ancient stone while fighting.

But as the embodiment of the tree spirit, the absorption of the nature essence was instinctual and there was no need to divide their minds. This meant that the Gu Master who used the Wood Charm Gu was an expert in friction warfare. Although one could not say that they could use natural essence endlessly, they could fight for as much as three times longer due to the continuous charging.

And once one becomes the embodiment of a tree spirit, Gu worms like Green Vine Gu and Pine Needle Gu will also be strengthened in strength.

Fang Yuan directly connect the dots, “The fusion speed of Wood Charm Gu can be said to be one of the most wasteful progress routes. It was a rank three Gu and needed to fuse with a hundred year Old Gu to ascend to a Rank four hundred year Gu Wood Spell. The hundred year old Gu Wood Spell needed to fuse with the thousand year Lifetime Gu in order to ascend to the five thousand year rank Gu Wood Spell. Everyone knew of this fusion route, but Gu Masters rarely used this recipe. The reason was because of the preciousness of Lifespan Gu. When Gu Master found Lifespan Gu, they would usually use it directly to increase their own lifespan.”

In this world, humans could live for at most a hundred years if they did not have an accident or illness. One hundred years is the limit of human life.

But Lifespan Gu can increase lifespan.

One hundred years of Age Gu can increase one's lifespan by one hundred years and one thousand years of Age Gu can increase it by one thousand years.

Gu's age was extremely rare and everyone was looking for him.

One hundred years of Age Gu can increase one's lifespan by one hundred years and one thousand years of Age Gu can increase it by one thousand years.

Gu's age was extremely rare and everyone was looking for him.

Fang Yuan had lived for five hundred years in his previous life because he used five hundred years of Age Gu in his previous life, thus adding five hundred years to his lifespan — the lifespan of a hundred years has changed to six hundred years. But in the end halfway through, he was attacked by the right factions and had no choice but to blow himself up and die.

Lifespan Gu represents 'long life' and can let people live long, but that doesn't mean 'immortal'.

“People of Wood Gu are very strong but have weaknesses; master Gu cannot use them for a long time. If they used it for too long, the strength of the Wood Gu Spell would affect their bodies and would turn their bodies into wood, eventually turning the bodies into wooden corpses. In my previous life, Gu Yue Qing Shu had died this way.”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes twinkled.

Usually, the powerful Gu worm has great side effects and needs to be used with other Gu worms. Otherwise, there would be a harmful influence on Master Gu's body.

Zombie Roaming Gu Xiong Jiang is best used with Bloodline gu. Otherwise, the blood in his body would have been reduced if used for too long and he would have turned into a true zombie.

Xiong Li's group returned to their camp. They first won against Bai Bing Yi, then lost against Qing Shu. Even so, the group still received a lot of applause and praise.

"Mo Yan, I challenge you."

“Come, Xiong Jiao Man, I will fight you!”

After Xiong Li's group, the entire scene suddenly became noisy. Many Master Gu constantly came out and challenged the strong opponents in their minds, showing their courage.

The Alliance's slopes go awry, and all kinds of brilliant and diverse battles of Gu take place.

The real battle of Gu had begun.
