Invincible Amongst Peers? Who Else! Seven Courtyards, Chen Changqing!

Seeing this, the disciples of every courtyard watching the battle were utterly terrified.

"This?"

"Senior Brother Qing Yang lost just like that?"

"How is that possible?"

"Is Shi Tian really that strong?"

"Qing Yang is at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and under his hands, he could only be crushed?"

"A Body Cultivator is this terrifying!"

"..."

In the First Courtyard area, the disciples all cheered and celebrated.

"Well done!"

"Senior Brother Shi Tian is too powerful."

"So what if he's at Foundation Establishment Late Stage? In Senior Brother Shi Tian's hands, he's weak and helpless!"

"'Invincible at the same stage' isn't just empty talk!"

"Now the Seven Courtyards have no one left to fight."

"..."

At the same time, Qing Yang dragged his injured body back to the Seven Courtyards area, his expression despondent.

"Elder, I..."

Qing Yang looked at Elder Willow Wood with a gloomy face.

Elder Willow Wood smiled faintly, reaching out to lightly pat Qing Yang's shoulder:

"It's fine. Body Cultivators are inherently strong, and this child is also first on the Scoreboard."

"In this Outer Sect Competition, to have achieved this much, this old man is already content. Our Seven Courtyards have finally made a name in the Outer Courtyard!"

As he said this, Elder Willow Wood's face was full of relief.

After all, in this Outer Sect Competition, three people from the Seven Courtyards had entered the top twenty on the Scoreboard.

Among them, Chen Changqing was ranked second on the Scoreboard.

Hearing what Elder Willow Wood said, Qing Yang let out a long sigh, then sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries on the spot.

Just as the Seven Courtyards disciples were feeling dejected.

Chen Changqing slowly took a step forward.

"Junior Brother, what are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan instinctively reached out and grabbed the corner of Chen Changqing's robe.

Earlier in the Void Realm, she had also witnessed Chen Changqing's strength.

He had even defeated Cui Hao, a Foundation Establishment disciple from the Second Courtyard, with a single punch.

But that Cui Hao was only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

On the arena, Shi Tian was at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and even Qing Yang had been easily crushed by him.

"I want to go try. What if I manage to defeat him?"

Chen Changqing looked calmly at the arena, his expression utterly unruffled.

Before Liu Ruyan could respond, Qing Yang had already shouted in a deep voice:

"Impossible!"

"Junior Brother Chen, you're only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage. Shi Tian is a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Body Cultivator, his flesh comparable to a Magical Artifact!"

Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

"It's fine."

"Besides, if you don't even try, how can you know whether you can do it or not?"

When Qing Yang heard Chen Changqing's words, he was immediately struck speechless.

Seeing this, the Seven Courtyards disciples all looked toward Chen Changqing.

"Junior Brother Chen is right."

"Even if it's a failure, you have to fail in the challenge."

"If you don't even have the courage to step onto the stage, that's the real failure!"

"Junior Brother Chen, go! We support you!"

"That's right! So what if he's a Body Cultivator? I don't believe he's truly invincible at the same stage!"

"..."

The Seven Courtyards disciples were stirred with excitement.

At this moment, Elder Willow Wood let out a helpless sigh, then looked at Chen Changqing and said:

"Changqing, go ahead."

Chen Changqing nodded, turned, and fixed his gaze on Shi Tian atop the arena platform.

On the platform, Shi Tian stood like a mountain, surveying all directions with a haughty air.

"Who else?"

His voice rang out like a thunderclap, echoing across the square and making the air hum.

Below the stage, there was dead silence.

Disciples from every courtyard lowered their heads, none daring to step onto the platform and clash with his edge.

After all, the strength Shi Tian had just displayed was far too terrifying.

Even someone like Qing Yang, at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, could only be crushed under his hand.

What could they accomplish by going up?

In the end, they would only be humiliated by Shi Tian, losing face in front of so many Outer Sect disciples.

In the Second Courtyard area.

Wen Liang's expression was grim.

Earlier, when he saw Qing Yang take the stage and suppress Jiang An, he had thought of going up to spar with Qing Yang himself.

Who would have guessed that Shi Tian from the First Courtyard would beat him to it?

That was bad enough, but the strength Shi Tian displayed was terrifyingly formidable.

"Even if I step onto that platform, I'm no match for Shi Tian."

"This time... is the First Courtyard going to take first place in the Outer Sect Competition again?"

Wen Liang was filled with unwillingness, yet he could do nothing about it.

Meanwhile, Meng Zhou from the Fourth Courtyard sighed inwardly as he watched.

His cultivation was the same as Wen Liang and Qing Yang's—Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

And earlier in the Void Realm, they had even clashed over treasure disputes.

Meng Zhou had a high opinion of Qing Yang's strength, but what he never expected was...

That when facing Shi Tian, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Body Cultivator, Qing Yang would lose so decisively.

"Body Cultivators are truly formidable!"

Meng Zhou silently lamented, choosing not to step onto the platform, knowing he was no match for Shi Tian either.

Seeing the disciples from every courtyard cowed by Shi Tian.

The disciples of the First Courtyard all held their heads high, smugness written all over their faces.

"Haha!"

"That's our Senior Brother Shi Tian!"

"With just one appearance, he's stunned everyone from the other courtyards."

"With Senior Brother Shi Tian here, it looks like we're taking first place again this year."

"Those trash from the Seven Courtyards—do they even deserve to compete?"

"..."

The First Courtyard elder, seeing this, stroked his beard with a self-satisfied smile, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.

"Shi Tian's true strength is far from what's shown on the surface!"

As an elder of the First Courtyard, he naturally knew Shi Tian's real situation.

Just now, when he fought Qing Yang and effortlessly suppressed him, Shi Tian had only revealed a fraction of his true capabilities!

High in the sky, seeing that no one dared to challenge Shi Tian, True Person Tianbo's eyes flickered with boredom, and he was about to declare the competition over.

But before True Person Tianbo could speak, a voice suddenly came from the west.

"Chen Changqing of the Seven Courtyards requests your guidance."

The moment the words fell, everyone present was jolted.

In an instant, countless gazes turned sharply toward the figure slowly ascending the platform.

"Chen Changqing?"

"He's Chen Changqing?"

"The one ranked second on the Scoreboard?"

"From the Seven Courtyards?"

"It's him!!"

"So what if he's second? He's only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage—how could he possibly be a match for Shi Tian?"

"Looking to die?"

"..."

The disciples of each courtyard were stunned.

No one had expected that Chen Changqing would choose to step onto the stage and challenge Shi Tian at the very last moment.

And his cultivation was only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

In the First Courtyard area.

Li Yang stared fixedly at Chen Changqing, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

"It's him?"

"This bastard stole my opportunity!"

Li Yang roared inwardly.

He recalled what had happened in the Void Realm before.

Back then, he, Qing Yang, Wen Liang, and Meng Zhou had been locked in a standoff above a valley, none of them willing to miss out on the treasure within.

In the end, they had even clashed fiercely.

No one had expected that, while their fierce battle was in full swing, Chen Changqing would quietly slip into the valley.

And snatch the opportunity right out from under them.

"Hmph!"

"This kid dares to challenge Shi Tian? Isn't that just asking for death?"

Li Yang said coldly, actually hoping that Shi Tian would strike and kill that little thief Chen Changqing.
