309: Low-grade Immortal Weapon
Su Changqing ascended the stage, instantly drawing countless gazes.
Of course, pity was evident in everyone's eyes.
Because this unknown boy actually encountered Wang Chengye, the second Prodigy of the Wang Family, in the first round, making victory utterly impossible for him.
"Just surrender yourself."
Wang Chengye said calmly, his face devoid of any expression.
Although it would be difficult for him to contend for a top three spot this time, his strength was at least among the top five, so he naturally wasn't someone just any random person could compare to.
Su Changqing frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes.
What's this guy on about?
So much nonsense.
"You only get one chance to strike."
Su Changqing said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chengye's face immediately showed a touch of anger.
Good boy, you're even more arrogant than me.
In that case, I'll send you down!
He grunted, not hesitating, and his figure flickered as he charged towards Su Changqing, a pair of iron fists slamming out fiercely, and terrifying power instantly swept across the entire arena.
It was clear that Wang Chengye had held nothing back in this punch.
Below the stage, Zheng Qian, the Clan Chief of the Zheng Family, chuckled and said:
"Clan Chief Wang, your Chengye will probably defeat his opponent in one move this round."
Wang Nan said with a chuckle:
"Usually one..."
However, Wang Nan's remaining word was left unspoken as the smile on his face abruptly froze.
Wang Chengye's attack landed on Su Changqing, yet it caused no ripple whatsoever.
Immediately after, a loud bang was heard.
Wang Chengye's body suddenly flew backward, then crashed heavily to the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
What's happening?
What happened?
Wasn't Wang Chengye just attacking Su Changqing? Why was he the one sent flying?
Countless Martial Artists below the stage exchanged bewildered glances.
Only Wang Chengye, who was still on the stage, suddenly felt a surge of fear in his heart.
That's right!
It was fear.
When his iron fists landed on Su Changqing just now, he felt a terrifying surge of immense power emanating from the other party.
It was as if he wasn't facing a person, but a humanoid beast; his fists felt like they had struck an iron plate, and intense pain shot through his knuckles.
Su Changqing smiled faintly, and with a thought, he instantly appeared before Wang Chengye.
And then.
He lifted his foot.
"Bang!"
With a kick, Wang Chengye's body instantly flew backward, crashing heavily off the stage.
Lost... lost?
He lost just like that?
Everyone was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
With one kick, he defeated Wang Chengye, the second Prodigy of the Wang Family and a Middle Stage Emperor Realm expert.
Such strength, looking across the entire Moon Spirit City, there was probably no second person who could achieve it.
What was the origin of this person?
The three Clan Chiefs also showed expressions of disbelief.
Zheng Kun's expression was grave, and so was Wang Teng's.
Both of them were Late Stage Emperor Realm cultivators, yet even they would be utterly unable to defeat Wang Chengye so effortlessly.
Easily defeating Wang Chengye, Su Changqing didn't take it seriously, casually stepping off the stage, at which point the Early Stage Human Immortal referee finally reacted and quickly declared Su Changqing the victor.
At this moment, City Lord Lord Zhang also couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
He knew all the Prodigies, big and small, within Moon Spirit City, but he had absolutely no impression of Su Changqing.
He summoned his subordinate.
"What is the origin of that boy just now?"
"Reporting to City Lord, that person is named Su Changqing. It is said that he arrived in Moon Spirit City about a month ago and has been staying at the Yi Yue Inn. As for his other experiences, they are currently unknown."
Oh?
Hearing this, Lord Zhang's face showed a hint of curiosity.
An outsider.
And he's participating in Moon Spirit City's Ascension Conference.
Moreover, his previous whereabouts couldn't be traced.
That's rather interesting.
However, as the City Lord, Lord Zhang naturally wouldn't stop him; on the contrary, he was somewhat pleased.
Because if this Su Changqing was outstanding enough to enter the Immortal Wind Sect, then the Sect would undoubtedly reward him greatly.
As for whether Su Changqing harbored ill intentions and intended to enter the Sect to cause destruction, he wasn't worried about that at all.
Because during the Sect's entrance examination, there would be relevant assessments, and if any malicious intent was discovered, he would absolutely not be able to enter the Sect, and might even be executed on the spot.
Therefore.
As long as Su Changqing performed well enough, Lord Zhang not only had no resistance but was eager to send him into the Sect to gain rewards, perhaps even allowing himself to achieve another Breakthrough.
Soon, after Su Changqing left the stage, a series of continuous matches unfolded.
It took a full two hours for the first round of matches to conclude.
Ultimately, one hundred and twenty-eight people were selected to proceed to the second round of assessment.
With Su Changqing's strength, he encountered no problems in the subsequent three rounds; every opponent was kicked down with one blow, and he advanced.
As Su Changqing's strength was displayed, more and more Martial Artists noticed him.
Even the Martial Artists from the three major Families looked at Su Changqing with grave expressions.
Because this guy was incredibly relaxed in every match, and no one managed to test his true strength.
The next match was the quarter-finals, advancing to the semi-finals, which was an extremely important match.
Everyone's faces flickered with excitement.
Su Changqing's opponent in this round was Zheng Kun, the Zheng Family's top Prodigy.
This guy's strength originally had a chance to enter the top three, but unfortunately, he encountered a monster like Su Changqing.
And when Zheng Kun learned that his opponent for this round was Su Changqing, his face was also filled with gravity.
No other reason, it was simply that the strength Su Changqing displayed was too terrifying; no matter what kind of opponent he faced, he ended the battle with one kick. How could anyone possibly withstand that?
"Father, this boy is a bit strange."
Below the stage, Zheng Kun said with a grave expression, gritting his teeth.
Zheng Qian, who was beside him, glanced at the calm and composed Su Changqing, then snorted lightly and said:
"Don't worry, no matter how strong this boy is, his cultivation cannot exceed the Human Immortal Realm. This Low Grade Immortal Artifact is called the Soul Piercing Needle. I obtained it years ago in a Secret Realm, and it specifically targets a Martial Artist's Divine Soul. Any Martial Artist below the Human Immortal Realm who is hit by it will surely die."
Zheng Qian's hand revealed a palm-sized silver needle, which looked unremarkable.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Kun's face immediately showed surprise and joy.
Certain death for anyone below Human Immortal!?
Good!
This is simply too good.
Clutching this Low Grade Immortal Artifact, Zheng Kun was incredibly excited.
One must know that Immortal Artifacts are extremely precious, and even the lowest grade Low Grade Immortal Artifacts are difficult for ordinary Human Immortal Realm Martial Artists to possess.
And this silver needle was obtained by Zheng Qian accidentally in a certain Secret Realm back then.
Otherwise, even as the Clan Chief of one of Moon Spirit City's three major Families, he would find it difficult to own a Low Grade Immortal Artifact.
As for Medium Grade Immortal Artifacts, there's even less to think about; only Heavenly Immortal or even True Immortal powerhouses would possess those.
Clutching the Low Grade Immortal Artifact in his hand, Zheng Kun immediately felt a surge of heroic spirit.
