19: Unrivaled Combat Power
As Chu Xuan's words fell, everyone present was stunned.
What did she mean?
"My Little Junior Brother, with his Mortal Shedding Realm cultivation, also wishes to compete. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Su Changqing.
Peak of the Mortal Shedding Realm cultivation.
He was under twenty-five years old, naturally meeting the competition requirements.
Moreover, since Chu Xuan herself had spoken, no one dared to refuse.
"Naturally, that is acceptable."
"No problem, absolutely no problem."
"… … … …"
"… …"
Everyone looked at Su Changqing.
He slowly rose, a faint smile on his face, and then calmly walked towards the arena.
Chu Xuan's face showed intense interest.
She might not be interested in other people's matches, but she was very interested in her Little Junior Brother's strength.
Below the stage, Zhao Kai pouted, a hint of disdain on his face.
How could a mere Martial Artist at the Peak of the Mortal Shedding Realm be his opponent?
Although the other party was a Tai Xuan Sect Disciple, what did that matter?
The gap between the Wheel Sea Realm and the Mortal Shedding Realm was not insignificant; it was a chasm-like difference that could only be felt after a Breakthrough.
Zhao Kai's only opponent was Bai Ruochu.
"However… this guy is the City Lord's Junior Brother. If I can defeat him in front of so many people, I might even gain the City Lord's favor."
Thinking of this, the disdain on Zhao Kai's face instantly vanished, replaced by a gleam in his eyes and a look of delight.
Bai Ruochu looked in Su Changqing's direction, her gaze calm, seemingly not considering him an opponent.
After all, the Realm difference between them was considerable.
She tilted her head slightly, a hint of pride in her demeanor.
So what if he was a Tai Xuan Sect True Disciple?
He still couldn't compare to her.
Su Changqing stood smiling on the arena, his gaze calm as he looked at the ten people.
To be honest, he had no interest in competing for the title of Prodigy with them.
They were too weak.
They couldn't even compare to Li Yunsheng.
If not for the System's reward, he wouldn't bother stepping onto the stage.
"Don't blame me for bullying you; all ten of you can attack together."
Hiss!
His calm words immediately caused countless people below the stage to gasp.
What arrogance!
He actually told everyone present to attack him together.
One must know that everyone present was a top Prodigy Martial Artist from Feiyun City, with the weakest cultivation being Mortal Shedding Realm Late Stage, and there were even two Wheel Sea Realm Martial Artists.
This kid's tone was far too arrogant.
"Kid, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a Tai Xuan Sect Disciple. Today, I'll show you the difference between the Wheel Sea Realm and the Mortal Shedding Realm."
Zhao Kai sneered, then his figure rapidly disappeared from his original spot.
Although he had forcibly broken through to the Wheel Sea Realm Early Stage with Medicinal Pills, he was still a genuine Wheel Sea Realm Martial Artist, so his strength was naturally not bad.
But Su Changqing merely glanced at him indifferently, a faint smile on his lips, without even drawing the longsword in his hand.
Then, he threw a punch.
A terrifying force carrying a dreadful Qi directly sent him flying.
"Boom!"
In an instant, Zhao Kai's eyes widened, and he was sent flying backward, then heavily crashed below the arena, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and almost fainting.
"Too slow, and too weak."
Su Changqing chuckled, his words carrying a hint of disdain.
The sudden scene directly shocked everyone present.
The three Clan Chiefs on the stage had eyes flickering with profound disbelief.
What the hell?
What was that?
A single punch directly severely injured a Martial Artist at the Wheel Sea Realm Early Stage.
This strength, was it not too Heaven-Defying?
Chu Xuan's face showed deep interest.
Others might not have seen it, but she observed clearly that her Little Junior Brother's move just now didn't even use True Qi; it was purely raw power.
Relying solely on strength, one punch directly severely injured a Wheel Sea Realm Martial Artist.
This strength, it was somewhat terrifying.
Chu Xuan clicked her tongue, seemingly finding it understandable that Su Changqing could cross a major Realm to kill the Heavenly Ice Python.
Bai Ruochu and the other nine stood on the arena, now all feeling nervous.
The power Su Changqing had unleashed exceeded their imagination.
Everyone was now in a dilemma.
"What, you don't dare to make a move?"
Su Changqing's face held a faint, almost mocking smile.
Bai Ruochu bit her lip upon hearing this, then spoke:
"Let's go together!"
Only then did everyone react.
"Yes, let's go together!"
"I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can't defeat just one of him."
"Exactly!"
"… … …"
Everyone reacted and prepared to join forces.
The nine figures swiftly moved, attacking towards Su Changqing.
Bai Ruochu was the fastest, her sword technique the most fierce, seemingly wanting to defeat Su Changqing with a single sword strike.
"These are mere trivial tricks; let's end this battle quickly."
"Intercepting Heaven Nine Swords, First Sword!"
In an instant.
The longsword in Su Changqing's hand was unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and the temperature of the entire space seemed to drop significantly.
A lightning-fast sword shadow flashed, and not to mention Bai Ruochu and the others, even the three Clan Chiefs could not fully capture the movement of the longsword in Su Changqing's hand.
Fast!
Extremely fast.
"This… how is this possible? What a fast sword."
Chu Xuan's eyes widened, flickering with profound disbelief.
"No, Little Junior Brother's sword technique is exquisite and absolutely a Profound Grade sword technique, and… it has already been Cultivated to the Perfection level."
Chu Xuan gasped.
How old was Su Changqing? He had only been in the Tai Xuan Sect for a few months, yet he had already Cultivated a Profound Grade Cultivation Technique to the Perfection level.
What kind of talent was this, dammit?
It was too terrifying!!
What Chu Xuan didn't know was that this wasn't the result of Su Changqing's months of Cultivation, but his less than one day of Cultivation.
If she knew, she would probably drop her jaw.
"Boom!"
Terrifying Sword Qi surged.
On the arena, Bai Ruochu and the others saw a terrifying Sword Qi approaching, and then they were all sent flying.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"… …"
In an instant, the nine people were directly blasted off the arena by Su Changqing's single sword strike, each spitting out fresh blood, their entire bodies extremely weak.
They lost!
They were utterly defeated.
They had originally thought that the combined efforts of the nine of them would surely guarantee victory, or at least be a Dragon-Tiger battle.
They never expected the opponent to defeat everyone with just one sword strike.
The gap between them was too vast.
Bai Ruochu's originally proud face instantly lowered, feeling a surge of shame.
She didn't expect the gap between herself and Su Changqing to be so immense.
The opponent was only at the Peak of the Mortal Shedding Realm cultivation.
"Is this what a true Prodigy is? It turns out I was just a frog in a well before."
Bai Ruochu muttered, her eyes showing a hint of self-mockery.
Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Su Changqing put away his longsword, and the System's voice sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Profound Grade High Grade Martial Art, 'Nianhua Finger'!"
