57: Chapter 57 Versailles infuriates Chu Youcai, his emotional value surpasses 100,000.

Faced with Chu Youcai's arrogant remarks, many female Disciples showed indignation, while the male Disciples wore complex expressions.

Chen Yaojia's pretty face flushed with anger, and just as she was about to rebuke him, Li Siwen gently took her hand.

Facing that powerful Aura and humiliation, Li Siwen's figure remained motionless, not even the corner of his clothing fluttering.

He raised his eyes to look at the seemingly crazed Chu Youcai on the stage, his gaze carrying a faint trace of... pity and mockery?

"Chu Youcai!" Li Siwen's voice remained calm and waveless, yet it carried an inexplicable penetrating power. "You always have so much nonsense to say."

"If you want to fight, then fight. Why act like a shrew, relying solely on a sharp tongue?"

"Or is it..." He paused slightly, a hint of mockery in his tone, "that you are afraid?"

Chu Youcai was choked by these understated words, his face turning ashen and the veins on his forehead bulging!

"Good! Good! Good! Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit and are bent on seeking death! I will grant your wish!" He roared, turned abruptly, and shouted at the adjudicator by the ring: "Referee! You may begin!"

The person in charge of the arbitration for this ring match was none other than the Outer Sect Chief Adjudicator, Liu Qing.

His expression was solemn as his gaze swept over Li Siwen and Chu Youcai. Especially when he felt Chu Youcai's steady and powerful Refining Viscera Perfection Aura, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

He stepped forward and announced in a deep voice: "Outer Sect Disciple Li Shiwen challenges Outer Sect Disciple Chu Youcai. The ring battle begins now!"

"Both parties, take the stage!"

As his voice fell, the atmosphere of the entire venue instantly tightened to the extreme, with all eyes focused on the ring!

Chen Yaojia's beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "Siwen! Go up there and teach him a lesson! Even if you cripple him, my Chen family will cover for you! Let's see who dares to touch you!"

Feeling her protective intent, Li Siwen felt a warmth in his heart. He gently patted the back of her hand, his expression remaining calm and indifferent as he simply nodded: "Understood."

His nonchalance caused many to look sideways, secretly feeling a sense of admiration.

Before he prepared to take the stage, Chen Yaojia couldn't help but pull him back, lowering her voice and instructing with eyes full of concern: "Be very careful... He is, after all, at Refining Viscera Perfection, and his strength far exceeds what it was before. Do not be careless."

Li Siwen gave her a reassuring look and whispered: "Rest assured, Senior Sister. I have my own measure."

At this moment, Chu Youcai on the stage had long been impatient and urged sharply: "Li Shiwen! What are you dawdling for?! If you're afraid, hurry up and kneel to beg for mercy! Stop stalling for time there!"

Li Siwen said no more, nodded slightly at Chen Yaojia, and then his figure moved.

There were no exaggerated movements; he merely tapped his toes lightly on the ground, his posture as light as a feather.

It was also like a wisp of ethereal floating cloud as he drifted onto the ring.

His posture was extremely graceful and composed, completely different from the situation he was about to face against a strong enemy.

And the moment his figure landed steadily on the ring, a vigorous, steady, and perfectly rounded Aura naturally emanated from his body, clearly presented to the perception of all onlookers!

This Aura was Mid-stage Marrow Cleansing!

"Hum—!"

An irrepressible wave of gasps and uproar erupted from below the stage!

"What is going on? Wasn't it said that Li Shiwen was at Early stage of Marrow Cleansing?"

"It's only been three days! And she's already gone from Early stage to Middle Stage of Marrow Cleansing?!"

"This... is this Cultivation speed even human?!"

"Peerless Grade Foundation... terrifying indeed!"

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

Those who were well-informed and had been following Li Shiwen immediately explained to the confused people around them: "What are you making a fuss about! Don't you know? Over a month ago, this Junior Sister Li was just a Utility Disciple who had just started to Cultivate!"

"Half a month ago, she suddenly skyrocketed from Early stage Body Tempering to Body Tempering Perfection! Afterward, it was like she received an ancient Legacy, her cultivation base soaring all the way! Changing every few days! From Pulse Forging to Aperture Opening, then to Marrow Cleansing, and now to the Middle Stage, is it strange? For her, this is normal!"

These words caused everyone to gasp, and they looked at Li Shiwen as if looking at a monster.

[Extreme shock from Onlooking Disciple A + 55]

[Incredulity from Outer Sect Disciple B + 50]

[Horror from Inner Sect Disciple C + 60]

...

emotion points ushered in another peak!

Chu Youcai, on the opposite side of the ring, felt the Mid-stage Marrow Cleansing cultivation Aura on Li Siwen, his pupils shrinking slightly, and a trace of obvious surprise flashed across his face.

But immediately, this surprise was replaced by even thicker disdain and mockery.

"Mid-stage Marrow Cleansing?" Chu Youcai sneered, his tone full of contempt. "Heh... you really scared me to death!"

"Li Shiwen, is this your confidence? From Early stage to Middle Stage? Indeed, your Cultivation speed can be called shocking, and your talent is the strongest I, Chu Youcai, have ever seen in my life."

He changed the subject, his voice suddenly becoming cold and arrogant: "But! So what?!"

"No matter how Heaven-Defying your talent is, without background or resources, you will eventually only become a stepping stone for the strong! I have seen many geniuses who died halfway!"

"Whether it's Early stage or Middle Stage Marrow Cleansing, in front of my Refining Viscera Perfection, there is no difference at all! You are all ants!"

"Going against me, Chu Youcai, is the most stupid and wrong thing you have ever done in your life! Today, I will make you understand this truth thoroughly!"

Facing Chu Youcai's roaring and belittling, Li Siwen's expression remained calm.

He even had the leisure to gently straighten the cuffs of his moonlight tassel dress, as if the opponent's terrifying Refining Viscera Perfection Aura and vicious words were not worth as much attention as a wrinkle on his clothing.

After Chu Youcai finished speaking, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at the other party with a calm gaze, his tone so indifferent as if he were discussing the weather:

"Senior Brother Chu must have put a lot of effort into today, begged for many Medicinal Pills, and even... troubled your elders to act, right?"

He paused, a very faint arc curling up the corner of his mouth, enough to make Chu Youcai jump with rage.

"You've really worked hard."

"Unlike me, I have been relaxed these past few days, not taking this matter too much to heart, and have not practiced deliberately. Otherwise..."

Li Siwen's voice was light, but it clearly reached everyone's ears:

"...perhaps I would already be at the Refining Viscera stage by now."

"..."

Silence!

Deathly silence!

The entire Martial Arts Field, a place where tens of thousands of people gathered, was now so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard!

Everyone was stunned, their minds blank, by this understated yet extremely pretentious statement!

Didn't take it seriously? Didn't practice deliberately?

Otherwise... would have also reached Refining Viscera?!!

Is this human language?!

How arrogant! How confident! And what... suffocating maneuvering!

[Collective confusion and extreme shock from the entire audience + 99999!]

[Ding! emotion points instantly exploded! Exceeding 100,000 points!]

In Li Siwen's mind, the System's notification sound was almost about to explode, as a wave of unimaginably large emotion points flooded in crazily!

Chu Youcai, upon hearing this, had his entire face first flush to the color of pig liver, then turn ashen, and finally go completely pale!

He was trembling with anger, pointing his finger at Li Siwen, his lips quivering, but he couldn't say a single word!

"You... you...!" He was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath!

"Arrogant! Simply extremely arrogant!"

Below the stage, Chu Youcai's lackeys finally reacted and jumped up to curse angrily, but their voices seemed so pale and powerless in the deathly silent scene.

More Disciples, after the extreme shock, erupted into even more fanatical discussions and expectations!

"My god! That is too daring to say!"

"Pretentious! Keep pretending! But why do I feel like she might actually be able to do it?!"

"This Li Shiwen... has such personality! I love it!"

"Chu Youcai's face has turned green with anger!"

"The ring battle hasn't even started yet, and the momentum has already been crushed!"

Chen Yaojia, below the stage, was first stunned, then couldn't help but let out a "pfft" laugh.

Looking at the calm and composed figure on the stage, her beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, and the worry in her heart inexplicably dissipated by more than half.

Even the referee, Liu Qing, who had always been serious, twitched the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and his gaze toward Li Siwen carried a hint of indescribable, strange expression.

Li Siwen seemed unaware of all the commotion below the stage, simply looking calmly at Chu Youcai, who was almost driven mad by anger, slightly raising his hand in a "please" gesture.

"Senior Brother Chu, please!"

"Stop wasting everyone's time!"
