So What If He's Reached the Golden Core Realm? It's Not Like I Haven't Killed One Before!

As Bai Hao's aura continued to rise, everyone watching was shocked.

"Hateful!"

"Isn't this... cheating?"

Wang Yang saw this and stomped his feet in anger.

I never expected Bai Hao to be so shameless.

He actually chose to use elixirs to forcibly break through his cultivation level, hoping to defeat Chen Changqing in the process.

Upon seeing this, Liu Mu's expression immediately became serious.

Previously, Chen Changqing had used his Technique Method Divine Ability to directly overpower Bai Hao.

He thought the battle was over.

Who would have thought that Bai Hao had a backup plan?

After a moment's thought, Liu Mu took a deep breath and sighed inwardly:

"This Bai Hao is a disciple of Ji Changkong, the Tenth Sequence Holy Son. How could he be defeated so easily?"

As he said this, Liu Mu turned his gaze and looked at Ji Changkong.

He knew very well that Ji Changkong must be taking this sparring match very seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to watch the game in person.

The Breakthrough Pill that Bai Hao took out was most likely given to him by Ji Changkong.

After all, such elixirs are not ordinary things.

Even Inner Sect Elder like Liu Mu didn't have it.

"Snort!"

On the other side, Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed red.

"That Bai Hao is truly shameless!"

"Unable to defeat Changqing Brother Changqing, he actually chose to rely on elixirs to break through his cultivation level in the heat of battle."

The more Liu Ruyan thought about it, the angrier she became, and her jade-like hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

Upon hearing this, the old woman who served her personally said with a solemn expression:

"Miss, don't you find this strange?"

"Um?"

Liu Ruyan was slightly surprised and looked at the old woman with confusion.

The old woman glanced at herself and then said:

Judging from Chen Changqing's expression, he didn't seem to intend to stop them.

"Instead... they're waiting for Bai Hao to advance to the Golden Core stage."

Only after the old woman said this did Liu Ruyan realize that something was wrong.

"Yes!"

"We all noticed that Bai Hao is about to break through, so why is Changqing Brother Changqing not making any moves?"

Liu Ruyan frowned, her face full of confusion.

In her view, if Chen Changqing intervened in time, he could still stop Bai Hao.

If we wait until Bai Hao forms his Golden Core, it will be too late to make a move.

At the same time, Qingyang looked very unhappy upon seeing this.

"How shameless!"

"To win, they resort to such despicable means?"

Qingyang was indignant and scoffed at Bai Hao's decision to break through to the next realm by taking a pill at the last minute.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shi Tian's brow furrowed, and he said coldly:

"Taking a pill to break through to a higher realm shows their determination to win this competition!"

"But such methods are rather underhanded."

At this point, Shi Tian paused briefly before continuing:

"Chen Changqing, don't worry!"

"I, Shi Tian, will defeat you, and I will do so honorably."

At this moment, many inner disciples were also whispering among themselves.

"Isn't what Senior Brother Bai Hao did somewhat dishonorable?"

"There's nothing we can do. Who knew Chen Changqing wasn't as weak as we thought?"

"What's so dishonorable about it? The victor is king, the loser is villain!"

"That's right, if I remember correctly, the rules of the Battle of the Top Hundred don't prohibit drug use."

Is it really okay to use any means necessary to win?

"..."

The disciples whispered among themselves.

Some people felt that Bai Hao's behavior was very dishonorable.

However, some people believe that it is perfectly acceptable.

On the stands, Bai Yifei, the Ninth Sequence Holy Son, saw this and couldn't help but chuckle, then looked towards Ji Changkong.

"Junior Brother Ji."

"Is this all the talent you have under your command?"

"To force a breakthrough using elixirs, that's truly... unexpected!"

While others dared not mock Ji Changkong, the Tenth Sequence Holy Son, Bai Yifei was different.

After all, he was the Ninth Sequence Holy Son.

Moreover, he and Ji Changkong have never gotten along well.

Seeing that Ji Changkong's subordinates were relying on pills to break through their cultivation levels in the competition, how could Bai Yifei miss such a good opportunity to mock them?

"Um?"

Upon hearing what Bai Yifei said, Ji Changkong's face turned ashen.

However, he did not refute Bai Yifei's statement.

In his view, as long as he can win, the means he uses are secondary.

Meanwhile, on the arena...

Chen Changqing naturally noticed that Bai Hao was breaking through to a higher realm.

He originally had the opportunity to interrupt, but Chen Changqing did not do so, instead waiting quietly.

That calm and composed demeanor certainly had the air of a master.

It seemed that even if Bai Hao advanced to the Golden Core level, he would not be afraid at all.

"So what if it's Golden Core?"

"It's not like I haven't killed them before."

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

Previously, when accompanying Ran Hua back to Green Mountain Town, Li Ran, the ancestor of the Li Family, was Golden Core Realm, but was killed by Chen Changqing.

Later, Chen Changqing went on a solo training trip and encountered three great Demon Kings.

That Rat Demon King was Half-Step Demon General, equivalent to the Half-Step Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator in the Human Race, yet he still died at its hands.

Then they encountered the Granny Ghost of the Ghost Race, who was also comparable to a human Golden Core expert, and were killed by her.

Although Chen Changqing used some external means to kill these beings.

However, if we only look at the results, he did indeed kill several Golden Core experts.

With Bai Hao breaking through to a higher realm with the help of external elixirs, Chen Changqing remained calm.

He possesses a multitude of skills; any one of them would be sufficient to handle the situation.

"Boom..."

Just then, golden light burst forth from Bai Hao's body, and the ninety thousand True Qi within him had completely solidified into a Golden Core.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure from a Golden Core cultivator erupted, causing the protective arrays around the arena to tremble violently under its force.

"Ha ha!"

Bai Hao stood in mid-air, feeling the immense power within him, and couldn't help but laugh heartily:

"Chen Changqing!"

"I'll give you one last chance. Admit defeat now, and I might let you go."

Hearing Bai Hao's words, Chen Changqing chuckled coldly, a disdainful glint in his eyes, and replied:

"You?"

"A defeated opponent dares to spout such nonsense?"

"You..."

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Bai Hao flew into a rage, staring coldly at Chen Changqing and saying:

"Good!"

"Since you're so ungrateful, then let me show you what a difference really is!"

Before Chen Changqing could even reply, Bai Hao unleashed his Golden Core Stage power without reservation.

The next moment, he suddenly waved his hand, and a Law Artifact longsword appeared in his hand.

The blade of this longsword gleamed with a cold light, exuding an awe-inspiring power.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterward, Bai Hao didn't hesitate and slashed at Chen Changqing with his sword.

As the sword was drawn, a burst of Sword Qi, spanning dozens of feet, suddenly erupted.

Looking up, one could see a vast river of Sword Qi, like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Chen Changqing.

The terrifying power cleaved a trench several feet deep into the arena floor, and the protective array flickered violently, looking as if it were about to collapse.

Seeing this, Chen Changqing remained completely calm and said indifferently:

Is that all you've got?

With that, he casually waved his hand, and the Rainbow Sword instantly appeared in his grasp.

The moment the longsword was in hand, a dazzling crimson Sword-Ray erupted.

"Boom!"

Immediately afterward, Chen Changqing had a thought and directly unleashed his Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent shot straight into the sky, extremely sharp, as if it would cleave this entire world in two!

"Waaaaah..."

At that moment, the swords of everyone present trembled simultaneously, emitting a clear and melodious clang.
