47: Chapter 47 One move defeats the Marrow Cleansing Technique, Chen Yaojia Opens the Yuan Realm to Overwhelm the Scene

Chu Youcai merely crossed his arms and sneered, not stopping the actions of the Marrow Cleansing Stage Outer Sect Disciple, Wang Ping; clearly, he had tacitly approved.

He wanted to use this naked intimidation to completely crush the ridiculous pride and resistance in "Li Shiwen," giving her one last chance to recognize reality!

The surrounding Disciples dared not speak despite their anger, the atmosphere stifling to the extreme.

Someone couldn't help but say indignantly in a low voice: "Do they... do they just ignore Sect rules like this? Publicly attacking a fellow Disciple?"

Chu Youcai, with sharp ears, overheard this and sneered disdainfully, retorting loudly: "Rules? Hmph! It is not I, Chu Youcai, who is attacking! Junior Brother Wang cannot stand by and is voluntarily offering guidance to a Junior Sister who doesn't understand the rules. What is wrong with that? As for Sect punishment? ..."

Wang Ping immediately cooperated with a sinister laugh, staring at Li Siwen (Li Shiwen) and saying: "I am more than happy to share the burden for Senior Brother Chu! What is a mere punishment? Li Shiwen, I will give you three breaths of time to consider!"

Facing this arrogant rhetoric from those acting in collusion and treating Sect rules as nothing, all the watching Disciples felt a chill and a sense of powerlessness.

However, Li Siwen, who was at the center of the storm, seemed to have completely ignored their threats and the commotion around him.

He didn't even glance at the aggressive Wang Ping, his gaze remaining calmly on Chu Youcai, as if merely stating an established fact.

"Chu Youcai, you talk too much. I won't say it a third time. Once I promote to the Outer Sect, I will wait for you on the arena!"

After speaking, he completely ignored the Marrow Cleansing Stage opponent poised before him, stepping forward as if to walk right past him and continue on his way to Yu Qing's residence!

This extreme disregard was more impactful than any verbal humiliation!

"You are courting death!" Wang Ping was thoroughly enraged; he felt he had been subjected to unprecedented contempt!

Three breaths? He couldn't even wait for one!

With a roar, the Internal Energy within his body surged, his right hand forming a claw. With a sharp whistling sound and enough power to crack stone, he viciously clawed at Li Siwen's shoulder!

If this claw landed, it would be enough to instantly cripple an arm!

A cruel, fierce look flashed in Chu Youcai's eyes; he had no intention of stopping it.

If he couldn't have it, he would rather destroy it than leave it for others!

The onlookers gasped, many unable to bear watching and closing their eyes.

Just as the sharp claw wind was about to touch his clothes—

Li Siwen finally moved!

His movements were so fast that only an afterimage remained!

Without any visible preparation, he shifted his feet mysteriously, his figure swaying like a ghost, and in the nick of time, he effortlessly dodged the sure-hit claw!

At the same time, Li Siwen's left hand, which had been hanging at his side, lifted seemingly casually. His fingers formed a sword, and a strand of invisible Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, suddenly spat out from his fingertips!

Chi!

A barely audible sound!

Wang Ping's sure-hit claw missed instantly. Just as astonishment rose in his heart, he felt a sudden numbness in his wrist, and a sharp, fierce, yet extremely condensed sword power instantly penetrated!

The Meridians and Internal Energy flow in his entire arm were instantly interrupted and scattered by this incredibly precise strike!

"Ugh!"

He groaned, his entire right arm feeling sore, numb, and painful, instantly losing all strength and hanging limply.

His body was even forced to stagger back three steps by the clever force contained within, barely managing to stand firm!

Wang Ping clutched his painfully numb wrist, looked up abruptly at Li Siwen, his Face filled with shock, disbelief, and a trace of fear!

One move!

Just one move! The opponent had even only used one finger!

A dignified Cultivator at the Marrow Cleansing Stage had actually been effortlessly repelled by an Aperture Opening Completion Utility Disciple with a single finger, and had even suffered a minor loss?!

How was this possible?!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Throughout the forest clearing, all the watching Disciples, including Chu Youcai and his followers, were dumbstruck, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world!

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the still-calm "Li Shiwen," who looked as if he had just casually swatted away a fly!

The next moment, a huge uproar erupted!

"Did... did I see that right?!"

"Senior Brother Wang... was... repelled by one finger?!"

"How did she do it?! That was the Marrow Cleansing Stage!"

"What... what an amazing movement technique! What terrifying finger strength!"

"Is this really the strength an Aperture Opening Completion can have?!"

"No wonder! No wonder she dared to challenge Senior Brother Chu!"

[Extreme shock from Spectator Disciple A + 40]

[Incredulity from Spectator Disciple B + 35]

[Admiration from Spectator Disciple C + 30]

[Shock and shame-rage from Wang Ping + 50]

[Horror from Chu Youcai's other followers + 25]

...

A large amount of emotion points instantly flooded the screen!

The sneer and pleasure on Chu Youcai's Face completely froze, replaced by massive bewilderment and a trace of undetectable suspicion!

He stared fixedly at Li Siwen, his eyes shifting uncertainly.

This woman... what exactly is going on?! This strength is definitely not right!

Li Siwen slowly retracted his finger, his gaze still resting on Chu Youcai, his tone calm and waveless, as if he had just done a trivial thing: "Now, can I leave?"

He paused and added: "Or, does anyone else want to 'offer me guidance'?"

Chu Youcai's Face turned livid. His lips moved, but he couldn't speak for a moment.

His followers behind him looked at each other, and not one dared to step forward again!

Even Wang Ping at the Marrow Cleansing Stage was repelled by one finger; wouldn't they just be asking for trouble if they went up?

Seeing no response, Li Siwen said no more and turned to leave.

"Stop!"

Chu Youcai finally reacted, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger and a trace of bluster, shouting sternly: "Li Shiwen! Don't be too arrogant! Even if you have some evil tricks, what of it? You are, after all, just at the Aperture Opening!"

As if to convince himself, his voice rose sharply, full of superiority and malice: "Let alone Aperture Opening! Even if you were at Marrow Cleansing, Organ Refining... here in the Xuanjian Sect, who dares not give my Chu family Face? Who dares to touch me, Chu Youcai?!"

"What are you? Just a bottom-feeding ant with a bit of luck! Do you really think you can flip the sky? Crushing you is easier than crushing an ant!"

His roar echoed in the clearing, but it sounded inexplicably hollow and weak.

Just then—

"Chu Youcai! What great majesty you have!"

A cold, clear reprimand came from not far away!

Two figures were seen approaching quickly: Chen Yaojia and her brother, Chen Mingtao!

Chen Yaojia had clearly just come out of seclusion, her Kaiyuan Realm cultivation not yet fully retracted, her Aura majestic.

Her pretty Face was cold, her beautiful eyes glaring angrily at Chu Youcai: "Always talking about crushing this and crushing that? Is your Chu family the master of the Sect?!"

Chen Mingtao followed closely behind, his expression serious. His gaze swept over the scene, lingering for a moment on Wang Ping, whose wrist was still trembling, and on the calm Li Siwen, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He then looked at Chu Youcai and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Chu, gathering a crowd to coerce a fellow Disciple, and even condoning your subordinates to attack others—do you really think Sect rules are just for show?"

Seeing the Chen siblings, especially feeling the undisguised Kaiyuan Realm Aura on Chen Yaojia, Chu Youcai's Face looked even worse.

He sneered and braced himself: "Chen Mingtao, Chen Yaojia, stop meddling! We were just 'exchanging pointers' between fellow Disciples. Where is the coercion or injury?"

"Exchange pointers?" Chen Yaojia pointed at Wang Ping, who was still rubbing his wrist, and sneered: "Marrow Cleansing against Aperture Opening, you call that exchanging pointers? Chu Youcai, have you no shame?"

Chu Youcai was choked and speechless for a moment.

Chen Mingtao ignored him and turned to look at Li Siwen, his tone much gentler: "Junior Sister Li, are you alright?"

Li Siwen shook his head slightly and said: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother and Senior Sister. I am fine."

Chen Mingtao nodded and, in front of everyone, announced loudly: "It just so happens, Junior Sister Li, the Disciples' Hall has approved your promotion application. The Outer Sect promotion assessment begins immediately. You are ordered to report to the Outer Sect Martial Arts Field at once!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar again!

The assessment is starting now? Based on her performance just now, wouldn't the Outer Sect promotion assessment be a piece of cake?

Chu Youcai's eyes sharpened, staring fixedly at Li Siwen.

Li Siwen looked at Chu Youcai and said calmly: "Chu Youcai, after the assessment, I will be an Outer Sect Disciple."

After speaking, he stopped looking at Chu Youcai's twisted expression, nodded slightly to Chen Mingtao and Chen Yaojia, and turned to walk straight toward the Outer Sect Martial Arts Field.

Chu Youcai stood on the spot, his Face so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it, his fists clenched tight, nails almost digging into his flesh.

He had lost so much Face today! He let out a silent roar in his heart—

"Li! Shi! Wen! Just you wait!"
