The Scarlet Flame Giant Bear was trembling with fear. Under the terrifying pressure of the Winged Tiger of Dragon Bones, it couldn't even move.
The Winged Tiger of Dragon Bones raised its massive paw and slammed it down toward the Scarlet Flame Giant Bear. Wind howled from the force of the strike.
BOOM!
Under that terrifying power, the Scarlet Flame Giant Bear was smashed flat against the ground, its thick legs twitching endlessly.
A Divine-growth Scarlet Flame Giant Bear was only slightly inferior to an Excellent-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit. Moreover,
Yet under the Winged Tiger of Dragon Bones' attack, a single blow was enough to completely flatten it.
Seeing this,
He could hardly conceal the shock in his heart. He understood full well what a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit truly meant.
A Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit represented peak pillar-level strength. Once it fully grew, its owner would inevitably become a figure of tremendous importance within the Feathered God Sect.
Over the past few years, the Gu Family had continuously hunted demon beasts in the Great World, and in total they had only managed to obtain two Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirits. One had been given to
But now, the Gu Family had suddenly and inexplicably acquired another Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit!
Where had Gu Bei gotten his Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit?
Under normal circumstances, Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirits were held exclusively by major families, because they were simply too difficult to obtain. Generally, one would have to hunt tens of thousands of Dragon Blood Demon Beasts before a single Excellent-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit appeared among them. As for Divine-growth ones, it was purely a matter of luck — the entire family would continuously hunt Dragon Blood Demon Beasts over the course of years before they might possibly come across one.
And yet Gu Bei actually possessed a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit!
No one knew where Gu Bei had gotten it. But one thing was certain: with a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit, Gu Bei would definitely be ranked as the Gu Family's second-heir-in-line. And even the position of first-heir-in-line would need to be carefully reconsidered.
Though Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirits were extraordinarily rare, there was always the possibility that someone with outrageous luck could obtain one from slaying a single Dragon Blood Demon Beast — after all, it was a matter of probability. How Gu Bei had obtained his no longer mattered. What mattered was that a new genius had emerged in the Gu Family!
This matter would shake the entire clan!
Beside them, the look in Gu Heng's eyes could no longer conceal his shock. This guy Gu Bei had actually gotten his hands on a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit! Gu Heng suddenly had the unsettling feeling that his own position was no longer so secure.
All this time, Gu Heng had never taken Gu Bei seriously. But now, Gu Bei had suddenly become a tremendous threat.
One sibling had been crippled and yet refused to accept it, and now the second one wanted to try his hand as well?
A vicious glint flashed through Gu Heng's eyes. Since Gu Bei had decided to step forward and compete for the position, he must have some degree of confidence. Very well then — I'll play along with you! Gu Heng knew that poisoning Gu Bei again was no longer an option. First, Gu Bei would certainly be on his guard. And second, if both siblings suffered blocked meridians, that would obviously be suspicious, and the family would inevitably investigate to the very end. He would be identified as the prime suspect, ruining his standing within the family.
He had to find another way to stop Gu Bei from rising!
If Gu Bei wanted to compete for the position, he would inevitably have to go to the Great World to build his own forces. And once he was in the Great World, Gu Heng would absolutely not give Gu Bei even the slightest chance!
Seated in her chair, Gu Lan's gaze swept over Gu Heng, her expression calm and unreadable. No one could tell what she was thinking. Gu Heng would probably never have guessed that Gu Lan had already recovered — his enemy was not just Gu Bei alone, but both Gu Bei and Gu Lan together!
With even Gu Bing, a Three-Life Realm powerhouse, defeated, the surrounding Gu Family disciples all turned to Gu Ya, wanting to see whether he would send anyone else to test Gu Bei.
But Gu Ya simply waved his hand and let out a hearty laugh. "The testing of Gu Bei ends here! We will convene an emergency Elder Council. All Gu Family disciples, hear this: Gu Bei will be our family's heir. As for which succession rank he holds, we will decide that separately!"
Gu Heng stood up and laughed. "Congratulations to my cousin Gu Bei on obtaining a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit and securing the heir's position! I never expected that Cousin Gu Bei would truly give us all such a surprise!"
Hearing Gu Ya's words, the crowd of Gu Family disciples burst into animated discussion.
"Gu Bei's Winged Tiger of Dragon Bones is a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit?"
"Where did he get a Divine-growth Dragon Blood Demon Spirit?"
