Stone Spirit Physique, Standing Upon the Earth, Is One Invincible?

Liu Ruyan clenched her hands tightly, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

"Junior Brother Chen... this is too dazzling!"

Qing Yang stared fixedly at the arena, his heart shaken as he silently sighed:

"He was hiding this much all along?"

Elder Willow Wood squinted slightly upon seeing this, unable to help but praise:

"That kid Changqing always manages to surprise people at critical moments!"

At that moment, True Person Tianbo, hovering midair, felt a flicker of interest stir within him.

"The limit of Body Refining?"

A trace of surprise flashed in True Person Tianbo's eyes.

As a Nascent Soul existence, he naturally saw through Chen Changqing's situation.

"An ordinary Outer Disciple, yet able to reach the limit of Body Refining?"

"This kid counts as something of a genius."

"To use Foundation Establishment Early Stage to clash head-on with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Body Cultivator is indeed rare."

True Person Tianbo murmured to himself, feeling that this Outer Sect Competition had gained some flavor.

While the crowd was still stunned.

On the arena, Chen Changqing and Shi Tian continued their clash.

"Boom!"

Under the earth-shattering collision, explosions burst forth, and shockwaves swept outward.

After the exchange, both retreated more than ten paces simultaneously.

Stabilizing himself, Shi Tian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning blood and qi within him.

"Chen Changqing, you're the first opponent to push me this far."

Shi Tian stared straight at Chen Changqing, as if he was about to start taking things seriously.

"Likewise."

Chen Changqing replied flatly.

If not for the powerful technique he cultivated, he would have no way to contend with Shi Tian.

At this moment, Chen Changqing deeply realized.

Even with the system at his side, the geniuses of this world were absolutely not to be underestimated.

Hearing Chen Changqing's words, Shi Tian's lips curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"In that case... let's fight with everything we've got!"

Shi Tian roared!

Immediately after, his upper garment suddenly burst apart, revealing a body as sturdy as iron.

"Today, I'll show you my true strength!"

"Boom!"

A strange sound rang out, and Shi Tian's skin began to transform eerily, in an instant turning into a gray-white, rocky texture.

"Stone Man Physique!"

An elder exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, Shi Tian was like a stone statue come to life, exuding a suffocating pressure from his entire being.

"Rumble!"

With the transformation of Shi Tian's body, the arena trembled, and gravel flew everywhere!

Chen Changqing furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze locked onto Shi Tian.

Looking closely, he could see that Shi Tian's skin had completely turned into gray-white rock, his entire body shrouded in dense earth-attribute spiritual power.

Just as Chen Changqing was observing Shi Tian's change, Shi Tian spoke coldly:

"Junior Brother!"

"I possess the Stone Spirit Physique, capable of absorbing all earth-attribute things to cultivate and strengthen myself. Standing on the earth, I am invincible!"

As Shi Tian's words fell, the elders and disciples present were all shocked.

"Stone Spirit Physique?"

"A Special Physique?"

"Who would have thought that besides being a Body Cultivator, Shi Tian actually possesses such a physique!"

"He was just toying with Chen Changqing earlier; now he's getting serious?"

"Chen Changqing is in real danger now!"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their faces full of disbelief.

After all, special physiques were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the immortal cultivation world—each one possessed heaven-defying power!

And the Stone Spirit Physique was hailed as a top-tier physique, boasting the claim that "as long as the earth remains, the body is indestructible"!

True Person Tianbo, hovering midair, saw this and his eyes instantly blazed with sharp light, truly moved.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

"I never expected this Outer Sect Competition to uncover such an uncut gem!"

"This counts as a major gain!"

True Person Tianbo sighed inwardly with admiration.

After all, special physiques were extremely difficult to manifest.

Even within the Inner Sect, disciples with special physiques could be counted on one hand.

Now, to witness one here in the Outer Sect Competition, it made True Person Tianbo's eyes light up, stirring his interest.

In the Seven Courtyards' area.

The disciples, upon seeing Shi Tian reveal his special physique, all held their breath with tension.

"I didn't expect Shi Tian to have a hidden card."

"Can Junior Brother still hold on?"

"..."

The crowd was sweating for Chen Changqing.

On the arena, Chen Changqing looked at Shi Tian, who now resembled a stone man, with no great fluctuation in his expression.

"So what if it's a special physique?"

"Today, I'll test it myself!"

"Do you truly believe that standing on the earth makes you invincible?"

With a light shout, Chen Changqing made the first move.

"Thunderclap Divine Fist!"

Lightning flickered around his fists as he shot forward, his punches raining down on Shi Tian like a storm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Each terrifying punch was enough to shatter mountains and rocks.

Yet, to Chen Changqing's surprise, his fierce barrage of attacks landed on Shi Tian, only to send up a few stray sparks.

He couldn't even break through Shi Tian's defense.

The First Courtyard disciples saw this and erupted in excitement.

"Haha!"

"Perfect, Senior Brother Shi Tian is serious now!"

"Chen Changqing can't even break through Senior Brother's defense."

"Give up, you kid from the Seventh Courtyard!"

"Earlier, Senior Brother Shi Tian was just toying with you—did you really think you were his match?"

"..."

The First Courtyard disciples cheered joyfully.

Earlier, when they saw Chen Changqing trading blows with Shi Tian, they had been on edge.

Now, seeing Shi Tian unleash his special physique and Chen Changqing immediately fall on the back foot, they were naturally delighted.

"It's useless."

Shi Tian glanced at Chen Changqing indifferently and said smugly:

"I told you, standing on the earth, I am invincible!"

The moment his words faded, Shi Tian suddenly stomped his foot.

"Crack!"

With that single stomp, the ground beneath his feet split apart directly.

In just a few breaths, the arena around Shi Tian shattered with a thunderous crash.

Before the crowd could react, the countless fragments of stone moved like living things, rapidly gathering together.

In less than a few breaths, under Shi Tian's control, they formed a towering Rock Giant dozens of zhang high!

The Rock Giant appeared, casting the entire arena into shadow.

Chen Changqing stood beneath it, his expression somewhat grave.

"Junior Brother, you should just concede!"

"I've already activated the Stone Spirit Physique. You're no match for me."

"If you insist on fighting, even if you don't die, you'll be severely injured!"

Shi Tian's voice rang out.

Hearing this, the elders and disciples watching from the sidelines all felt a chill in their hearts.

They could sense the terrifying pressure radiating from the massive stone man on the arena.

In the Seven Courtyards Area.

The disciples' faces all turned grim. The hope that had just flared up was instantly snuffed out by Shi Tian's Stone Spirit Physique.

They had been fantasizing that Chen Changqing could defeat Shi Tian and claim first place in this outer sect Grand Tournament.

But now, it seemed unlikely.

Liu Ruyan's heart tightened as she stared fixedly at Chen Changqing, silently hoping:

"Maybe Junior Brother can still create a miracle!"

Just then, on the arena.

Chen Changqing slowly raised his hand, flicked the dust off his robes, and met Shi Tian's gaze along with the massive Rock Giant.

"I have to admit, Shi Tian, you're really strong."

"But unfortunately..."

"I'm taking first place in this Grand Tournament!"

As his words faded, Chen Changqing moved his mind.

Clang!

A clear, resonant sword cry rang through heaven and earth.

The moment the Chengying Sword appeared, the surrounding light dimmed.

When they looked again, Chen Changqing had already bent forward, assuming a stance to draw his sword!
