Stone Spirit Physique, Standing on the Great Earth, Invincible?

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

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

Qingyang stared fixedly at the arena, his heart shaken as he secretly sighed:

Has he been hiding his true strength all this time?

Elder Liu Mu caught sight of this and narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to help but praise:

"This kid Changqing always manages to surprise people at the most critical moments!"

At this juncture, True Person Tianbo, who was hovering in mid-air, felt a sudden spark of interest.

"The limit of body tempering?"

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

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

"A mere outer sect disciple, yet able to reach the limit of body tempering?"

"This kid can truly be considered a genius."

"To be able to go head-to-head with a late-stage Foundation Establishment body cultivator while only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment is indeed rare."

True Person Tianbo whispered to himself, feeling that this Outer Sect Grand Competition had finally become interesting.

Just as the crowd was in shock, Chen Changqing and Shi Tian collided once again on the arena.

"Boom!"

Under the earth-shattering impact, explosions erupted and shockwaves swept across the stage.

Following the clash, both men retreated more than ten steps simultaneously.

After steadying his figure, Shi Tian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the roiling blood within his body.

"Chen Changqing, you are the first opponent to force me to this extent."

Shi Tian stared straight at Chen Changqing, seemingly ready to start taking things seriously.

"Likewise."

Chen Changqing replied indifferently.

If it weren't for the powerful cultivation technique he practiced, it would have been impossible to contend with Shi Tian.

At this moment, Chen Changqing realized deeply that even with the system by his side, the geniuses of this world were not to be underestimated.

Hearing Chen Changqing's words, the corners of Shi Tian's mouth curled up, revealing an intriguing smile.

"Since that's the case... then let us fight without restraint!"

Shi Tian roared!

Immediately following, his upper garment suddenly burst apart, revealing a physique as sturdy as iron.

"Today, I will let you witness my true strength!"

"Rumble!"

A strange sound rang out, and Shi Tian's skin began to change eerily, transforming into the texture of gray-white rock in the blink of an eye.

"Stone Man Body!"

An elder exclaimed aloud.

At this moment, Shi Tian resembled a resurrected stone statue, his entire body radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Rumble!"

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

Chen Changqing frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Shi Tian.

Looking closely, one could see that his skin had completely turned into gray-white rock, with heavy earth-attribute spiritual energy swirling around him.

Just as Chen Changqing was observing Shi Tian's transformation, Shi Tian said coldly:

"Junior Brother!"

"I possess the Stone Spirit Physique. I can absorb all earth-attribute matter to cultivate and strengthen myself. As long as I stand upon the earth, I am invincible!"

As Shi Tian spoke, the elders and disciples present were all shocked.

"Stone Spirit Physique?"

"A special constitution?"

"I never expected that besides being a body cultivator, this Shi Tian actually possessed such a constitution!"

"Was he just playing around with Chen Changqing before? Is he finally getting serious now?"

"Chen Changqing is in danger now!"

The crowd discussed it fervently, their faces filled with disbelief.

One had to know that special physiques were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the cultivation world, each possessing heaven-defying abilities!

And the Stone Spirit Physique was known as a top-tier constitution, claiming that "as long as the earth remains, the physical body shall not perish!"

True Person Tianbo, hovering in mid-air, saw this and his eyes suddenly flared with a brilliant light; he was truly moved.

"Good! Good!"

"I never expected to discover such an unpolished gem in this Outer Sect Grand Competition!"

"This can truly be considered a great harvest!"

True Person Tianbo sighed inwardly.

One had to know that such special physiques were extremely difficult to manifest.

Even in the Inner Sect, disciples possessing special physiques could be counted on one's fingers.

Seeing one now in the Outer Sect Grand Competition made True Person Tianbo's eyes light up, and he began to harbor intentions.

In the area where the Seven Courtyards were located.

Seeing Shi Tian reveal his special physique, the disciples all felt their hearts tighten.

"I never thought Shi Tian still had a trump card."

"Can Junior Brother still hold his own?"

The crowd broke into a cold sweat for Chen Changqing.

On the arena, Chen Changqing looked at Shi Tian, who now resembled a stone man, his expression showing little fluctuation.

"So what if you have a special physique?"

"Today, I shall put it to the test!"

"Are you truly invincible just by standing on the earth?"

With a soft shout, Chen Changqing chose to strike first.

"Thunder Fist!"

His fists flickered with lightning as he lunged forward, his strikes raining down upon Shi Tian like a torrential downpour.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The terrifying force of his punches was enough to shatter boulders.

However, to Chen Changqing's surprise, his fierce and wild barrage of attacks only sparked scattered embers upon Shi Tian's body.

He hadn't even managed to break through Shi Tian's defense.

The disciples of the First Courtyard were ecstatic at the sight.

"Haha!"

"Excellent, Senior Brother Shi Tian is getting serious!"

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

"Just admit defeat, you brat from the Seven Courtyards!"

"Senior Brother Shi Tian was just playing with you before; did you really think you were his match?"

The First Courtyard disciples cheered and jumped for joy.

Having seen Chen Changqing trade blows evenly with Shi Tian earlier, they had been on edge.

Now, seeing Shi Tian unleash his special physique and Chen Changqing fall into a disadvantage, they were naturally overjoyed.

"It's useless."

Shi Tian looked at Chen Changqing indifferently and said smugly:

"I said it before: standing on the earth, I am invincible!"

As his words faded, Shi Tian stomped his foot violently.

"Crack!"

With that single step, the ground beneath him shattered instantly.

Within a few short breaths, the arena around Shi Tian collapsed with a roar.

Before the crowd could even react, they saw the countless fragments of stone gathering rapidly as if they were living things.

In less than a few breaths, under Shi Tian's control, they transformed into a Rock Giant dozens of feet tall!

The Rock Giant manifested, instantly casting the entire arena into shadow.

Chen Changqing stood beneath it, his expression turning grave.

"Junior brother, you should just concede!"

"I have already activated my Stone Spirit Physique; you are no match for me."

"If you insist on continuing this fight, even if you don't die, you will be severely injured!"

Shi Tian's voice boomed out.

Hearing these words, the elders and disciples watching from the sidelines felt a tremor in their hearts.

They could feel the terrifying pressure radiating from the massive stone figure on the stage.

In the Seven Courtyards section.

The disciples all wore grim expressions; the hope that had just ignited was extinguished by Shi Tian's Stone Spirit Physique.

They had originally fantasized that Chen Changqing could defeat Shi Tian and take first place in this outer sect tournament.

But looking at it now, that seemed unlikely.

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

Perhaps junior brother can still create a miracle!

Just then, on the arena.

Chen Changqing slowly raised his hand to brush the dust off his clothes, looking straight at Shi Tian and the giant stone figure.

"I have to admit, Shi Tian, you are truly strong."

"But it's a pity..."

"This tournament's first place, I am determined to take it!"

As his words faded, Chen Changqing focused his intent.

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant sword hum rang out, echoing across the heavens and earth.

The moment the Shadow-Bearing Sword appeared, the surrounding light seemed to dim.

When they looked again, Chen Changqing was already hunched over, poised in a stance to draw his blade!
