Chapter 238 204
```
The battlefield was silent as Gu Chen stood tall, his long hair disheveled and reaching down to his waist, his body lithe as a savage dragon, translucent and glistening with a pale golden hue. He harbored vast and terrifying spiritual energy, imposing like a mountain, an overwhelming presence indeed.
In the distance, the powerful Ananda lay on the ground, spasms wracking his body, fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His once-red kasaya was now tattered and bloodstained, with bleeding wounds all over his body.
Both the people of Da Xia and those of the Great Yuan were shocked, the so-called "Buddha's son" from the Dragon Elephant Monastery of the Great Snow Mountain, an incarnation of a living Buddha, had been defeated. He was not a match for Gu Chen and was grievously injured.
Not long ago, Ananda had been sitting cross-legged on the stage outside Tiandu, undefeated by any youngster in the city and boasting that he would sweep through Tiandu. Yet now, he was defeated by Gu Chen, whose cultivation level was not even as high as his own.
At first, not a single person from the Great Yuan, and even those from Da Xia, thought highly of Gu Chen. But as the battle commenced, with a fierce clash between the two mighty fighters, and especially after Gu Chen displayed his indestructible Vajra body, many were taken aback.
Now that Gu Chen had sent Ananda flying, everyone was frozen in place, their disbelief palpable.
Zha Jiedunzhu was the first to snap out of it. He leaped to his feet, his gaze toward Gu Chen murderous, his fists clenched, ready to take action himself.
At this moment, the officials and nobles of Da Xia, as well as the commoners, came to their senses too, releasing their pent-up frustration with elated expressions, shouting Gu Chen's name continuously.
The crown prince was also thrilled, pumping his fist vigorously, a gesture that didn't fit his status. He was so excited that he didn't even realize it.
"We won, we won, Mistress, Big Brother won!" Xu Qinge and Gu Qingyan, mother and daughter, also had faces full of joy.
Gu Qingyan looked at Gu Chen's tall and lithe figure in the arena, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
Of course, it wasn't just her; all the women present, including ladies like Lu Xinlan of Da Xia's nobility, had a certain indescribable meaning in their eyes as they watched Gu Chen.
In the midst of the battlefield, Gu Chen radiated dazzling golden light from his body and hair, shining with eye-catching brilliance. At this moment, his physique was like a divine furnace, radiating astonishing spiritual energy.
Gu Chen stepped forward, embodying the supreme power to subdue dragons and demons, his eyes extremely bright as he approached the prone Ananda.
Then, the crowd saw the bloodied Ananda, still bleeding, sit up again. His legs were crossed, hands forming seals, with a buddhic light flickering around him. The wounds on his skin began to slowly heal.
Moreover, the rate of healing was incredibly fast, and Ananda's aura went from weak to increasingly strong.
Zha Jiedunzhu let out a relieved breath upon seeing this—it was the secret "Inner Lion Seal" from the Dragon Elephant Monastery of the Great Snow Mountain.
This seal was primarily used to accelerate the healing of one's own body and to treat injuries.
Legend has it that there are nine variations of this seal, but within the Dragon Elephant Monastery, there were only two or three types, incomplete.
This was because the seal originated from one of the six major sacred lands, the Sumeru Monastery. When the founder of the Dragon Elephant Monastery left Sumeru, he could only take these few seals with him.
Even so, it was enough for those who mastered it to benefit for a lifetime. Indeed, it wasn't necessary to learn them all—mastering just one was enough to dominate the world.
It was said that even within the Sumeru Monastery, there were very few who could practice all nine seals.
At this moment, as Gu Chen approached, his body lit up, with dazzling radiant flames emerging from his surface, covering him from head to toe, giving off palpitations-inducing vibrations.
But Ananda seemed well-prepared, calm and collected. As he shifted the seal in his hands, he uttered in a low voice, "Great Vajra Wheel Seal!"
With a rumble, the Gangqi of dragons and elephants within Ananda converged, forming a massive wheel with a large dragon elephant apparition upon it, its menacing gaze fixed on Gu Chen.
"Dragon Tiger Roar!"
Gu Chen shouted, and the images of a real dragon and a white tiger reappeared, this time intertwining around Gu Chen's body. He threw a punch, fierce and unmatched, with the overwhelming force of the world collapsing imbued within it!
With a bang, Gu Chen's translucent and pale golden fist, as if forged from divine metal, collided with the Great Vajra Wheel Seal released by Ananda, sending sparks flying everywhere and a wild Gang Wind swept up.
Seeing this, Ananda immediately retreated. He had already experienced Gu Chen's physical power; he was no match. Now Ananda had resolved to avoid close combat with Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen wasn't going to let him get away that easily. He flashed forward, his feet pounding the ground with explosive force, and in an instant, he charged forward.
Boom!
Gu Chen struck out with his fist seal, the radiant light reflecting and illuminating all directions. Ananda was still grievously injured, and even with the mysterious seal repairing his body, he was no longer a threat.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
In just an instant, Ananda was sent flying again, coughing up blood incessantly.
