Douluo Dragon King: The stars of the heavens, transform me into king!

Guan Yue made the first move, leaning forward, and instantly, the space seemed to be torn apart with a mournful cry.

The Heavenly Spear appeared from nothingness, and ripples like water spread around its body, distorting and dissolving the surrounding scenery.

At that moment, everything in the hall seemed to pale in comparison.

The spear's gleam wasn't blinding; a pale golden light enveloped its shaft. Its movement was light and graceful, like morning mist flowing through the mountains. But behind this gentleness, everything in front of him was pierced, leaving only a vacuum.

Beyond the heavens, beyond the heavens, surpassing the sky.

This was the spear intent of Yue Tian Douluo; its speed was so fast that even Gu Yue Xingyan was amazed.

The gunshot split in the next second.

One becomes ten, ten become a hundred, and hundreds of pale golden spear beams bloom simultaneously, each one real and true, each one locking down every angle from which Gu Yuexingyan could dodge.

But amidst the shadows of gunfire, Guan Yue's figure was clearly visible.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuexingyan revealed a faint smile, a smile that conveyed absolute confidence in his own strength.

His eyes lit up; the golden light in his left eye was as intense as the midday sun, while the silver light in his right eye was as cool as the midnight full moon.

Instead of retreating, he advanced. The moment his foot touched the ground, a projection of a galaxy appeared behind him, with the phantom of the Big Dipper appearing behind him.

He clenched his right fist, the tip of which was wreathed in golden flames as hot as the sun. The flames condensed into the shape of a golden crow, baring its fangs and claws as it met the spear's edge.

The punch produced a deep, booming sound, and the air in its path was scorched by the high temperature, creating distorted ripples.

The fist collided with the tip of the gun.

A deafening explosion rang out. Golden flames spread upwards along the spear shaft, attempting to engulf the entire weapon.

Guan Yue flicked her wrist, dispelling the Sun True Fire. Immediately, the Heavenly Spear transformed into thirty-six interwoven spear shadows, piercing towards Gu Yuexingyan's vital points.

The young man slid back half a step, his hands crossing in front of him. Two crescent blades spun from his palms, their blades as thin as cicada wings, their edges flowing with liquid silver light.

The moon blade flew out, drawing two intersecting arcs in the air. Wherever the blade passed, the space was cleaved with jagged cracks.

The gunshot was forced to pierce into those spatial rifts, disappearing without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

"A very good move! It's a pity it's still a little short."

Gu Yuexingyan's voice was calm, and the star map behind him also shone brightly at this moment. The seven stars were arranged according to the Big Dipper and rotated slowly. With each rotation, the aura around him became more solid.

The rotunda trembled at that moment, and the earth began to crack under the force of this power.

Guan Yue's gaze remained unchanged, as if he had been prepared all along, and he sheathed the Heavenly Spear at his waist. He bowed slightly, his whole body resembling a fully drawn bow.

The next second, the spear thrust out again.

In an instant, it transformed into hundreds of spear beams, which burst forth simultaneously, each tearing through space and pointing directly at Gu Yuexingyan.

The circular hall instantly transformed into a thicket of thorns, surrounding Gu Yuexingyan within.

Gu Yuexingyan clasped his hands together, and the forces of the moon and the sun appeared behind him, obscuring the light of the stars.

The sun and moon shine together.

Gold and silver light surged forth from the stars, converging and swirling before him, condensing into a slowly rotating Tai Chi symbol.

The pattern was not huge, only three feet in diameter, but the force field it contained caused all the incoming spear beams to deflect and slow down, eventually shattering into countless fragments of light like raindrops hitting an invisible wall.

"Not bad move! But it's still a little lacking!"

Gu Yuexingyan moved forward again, and the Taiji diagram advanced accordingly. Wherever it passed, the spear light was annihilated, the space was calmed, and even the cracked ground of the training ground slowly healed under some kind of force.

He easily countered Guan Yue's moves, his steps unhurried, seemingly without feeling any pressure.

Guan Yue took a step back and realized once again the enormous gap between the two realms, as vast as heaven and earth, seemingly unreachable.

He gripped the gun with both hands, and the Heavenly Spear began to become transparent, disappearing from the tip to the butt, until only a faint outline remained.

He sighed deeply and said, "I'm not playing anymore! The gap in skill is truly significant!"

Upon hearing this, the light of the sun, moon, and stars on Gu Yuexingyan dissipated, and the gold and silver colors faded from his eyes, returning to their usual black.

The Tai Chi diagram in front of him shattered and dissipated at that moment, turning into specks of light in the air.

"It's alright!" Gu Yuexingyan smiled faintly, a smile that was shallow yet genuine, warmer than the smile he had during the battle. "You'll always have a chance to reach that level eventually."

Guan Yue didn't speak, but simply nodded to herself, seemingly appreciating the scenery of that realm.

Gu Yuexingyan suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the shadowy corners of the training ground. His eyes lingered on a few specific spots for a moment, as if he had already seen through everything.

"Stop watching the show, you're already here, come out!"

The silence lasted for three seconds.

A group of figures of varying builds, dressed in black outfits with red stripes, emerged from the shadows.

The first person to leap from the viewing platform was a burly, mountain-like middle-aged man, none other than Hao Ri Douluo Ao Rui. If we were to ask who among the spectators of this battle had the deepest insights, Hao Ri Douluo would undoubtedly be at the forefront.

"We were discovered as expected!" Hao Ri Douluo said helplessly.

Behind him was Emperor Sword Douluo Long Tianwu, followed by Dark Emperor Luo Yuhang, and then Demon Harp Douluo Mo Zihong.

"Long time no see!" Gu Yuexingyan smiled faintly, not angry at all.

The four war gods stood in a row and bowed in unison to Gu Yuexingyan: "Greetings, Speaker."

Guan Yue had already noticed the arrival of the four, but she wasn't angry; she simply treated it as a battle of moderate magnitude.

"A very exciting battle, Vice Hall Master!" Ao Rui said in a deep voice.

Long Tianwu chimed in, but her gaze fell on Gu Yuexingyan, "It's more than just amazing, I couldn't have taken a single shot from it."

Luo Yuhang didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly. He stared at the spot where Gu Yuexingyan had just stood, where there were several fine cracks on the floor, which were visibly repairing themselves.

It appears to be the work of Gu Yuexingyan.

Gu Yuexing waved his hand: "Let's talk another day. Guan Yue, tell Chen Xinjie about your matter and get a copy for my office." He glanced at his watch; the hands pointed to 10:15 AM. "I have a meeting; I'll be going now!"

He turned around, and a spatial rift opened up in front of him, which he stepped directly into.

Guan Yue sighed deeply; the gap between him and a quasi-god was truly enormous.

Meanwhile, in the other conference room, Yu Guanzhi, the commander of the Central Army Corps, was already waiting. He had a simple, unassuming face and a hooked nose. He was one of the top three high-ranking military officials.

At this moment, he was not the only one who actually attended the meeting; there was another person present, namely the commander of the Sea God Legion, the current head of the War God Temple, the vice chairman of the Douluo Federation, and the patriarch of the Sea God family.

—Chen Xinjie.

Suddenly, the space in front of the two shattered, and Gu Yuexingyan walked out naturally from it.
