The Weak Defeat the Strong! Return to Evergreen Peak

In the blink of an eye, the Cyan Steel Sword had transformed into a streak of green light and pierced straight into Xue Feng's chest.

"Boom!"

The powerful Sword Qi arrived suddenly, startling Xue Feng.

Without time to think further, he drew his Mountain-Severing Broadsword, and quickly sheathed it, holding it horizontally in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar resounded.

"Puff..."

The next moment, Xue Feng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily off the stage.

The Mountain-Severing Sword that he had been holding also slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground as he flew backward.

Upon witnessing this scene, the entire audience fell into a deathly silence.

Nobody expected it.

Xue Feng was actually defeated by Lin Yuan.

Amidst the initial shock, a torrent of discussion erupted at the scene:

"This?"

"Lin Yuan... won?"

How is that possible?

"Senior Brother Xue Feng is at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!"

"Lin Yuan has only just Foundation Establishment, yet he actually won?"

"Isn't that a bit too much? If he had made even a slight mistake just now, he would probably have died a gruesome death under Senior Brother Xue Feng's sword."

"What a madman!"

"..."

Many Outer Sect disciples exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.

Before this, no one had any high hopes for Lin Yuan, a disciple who had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment.

Those from the Seventh Courtyard Outer Sect cheered with joy upon seeing Lin Yuan's victory.

We won!

"Great! Senior Brother Lin Yuan won!"

"Foundation Establishment Early Stage defeating Foundation Establishment Late Stage —it's practically a miracle!"

"As expected of a disciple of my Seventh Courtyard."

"..."

On the arena, Lin Yuan knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

He just now risked everything, even at the cost of serious injury, to seize that sliver of opportunity and pull off an incredible comeback!

The wounds on his body were still bleeding, staining the bluestone beneath his feet red.

Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention, slowly stood up, turned his gaze to Xue Feng was slumped down below the arena, and said coldly:

"Senior Brother Xue, you're too kind!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xue Feng, who was slumped on the ground, gritted his teeth in hatred, his whole body trembling with rage.

"No!"

How is that possible?

"I... I actually lost to him?"

Xue Feng was secretly indignant, his heart filled with resentment.

Before the competition, he never imagined that he would be defeated by a Cultivator had just Foundation Establishment.

Keep in mind, he's at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He is only one step away from Core Formation.

But now, they have lost to Lin Yuan.

Although I'm reluctant to admit my defeat, the facts speak for themselves.

Lin Yuan didn't pay any attention to this. He raised his gaze and looked at Chen Changqing was floating in the void.

Upon seeing this, his eyes lit up with a bright light, and a warm smile appeared on his lips.

Upon catching Lin Yuan's gaze, Chen Changqing's heart stirred slightly.

With his current strength, he naturally figured it out.

If it had been anyone else, they would have undoubtedly lost the match against Xue Feng's final sword strike.

But Lin Yuan, with his extraordinary temperament and courage, did not retreat but advanced, risking serious injury and even death to successfully turn the tide.

"This Lin Yuan is quite a promising talent."

"It seems I wasn't wrong back then."

Chen Changqing sighed quietly.

Immediately afterwards, he casually waved his hand, and a pill flew straight into Lin Yuan's hand.

"Take this pill; it will help you recover from your injuries."

As he spoke, Chen Changqing pointed at the void, and the Top-grade Spirit Treasure Frost-Condensing Sword, which had been floating above the arena, immediately flew down in front of Lin Yuan.

"This prize is yours."

"Oh, and don't forget what I told you before!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changqing glanced at True Person Tianbo, then left without lingering, taking Xiaoqian with him.

"Call!"

Watching Chen Changqing leave, True Person Tianbo let out a long sigh and thought to himself:

"Mount Shu is about to emerge from Mount Shu!"

Then, he composed himself and, without further ado, announced:

"The winner of this Outer Sect Disciple Competition is Lin Yuan from the Seventh Courtyard!"

As soon as True Person Tianbo made the announcement, a roar of cheers erupted from below the arena.

The Seventh Courtyard, in particular, was incredibly enthusiastic.

Following Chen Changqing's leadership in the rise of the Outer Sect Seventh Courtyard, the Seventh Courtyard once again won the Champion the Outer Sect Disciple Competition.

Lin Yuan stood on the arena, ignoring the cheers, his gaze fixed intently on the direction Chen Changqing had left.

"Senior Brother Changqing!"

"It won't be long before I report to the Inner Sect's Evergreen Peak!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, his eyes unwavering.

He had not forgotten the promise he made to Chen Changqing.

On the other side, Chen Changqing led Xiaoqian into the Inner Sect of Mount Shu.

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Evergreen Peak.

As soon as they landed, two powerful auras emanated from within the mountain gate.

"Boom!"

Upon closer inspection, two figures appeared.

The two people were a man and a woman; the man was burly and strong, and the woman was charming and alluring.

These were none other than the two powerful demons that Chen Changqing had subdued earlier: the Black Bear and the Mystic Serpent!

Upon seeing that the visitor was Chen Changqing, Black Bear and Xuan Se's eyes lit up, and they quickly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Master!"

Chen Changqing nodded and hummed in agreement:

"Come with me!"

After saying that, Chen Changqing didn't linger and led Xiaoqian straight into Evergreen Peak.

The Black Bear and the Mystic Serpent paused for a moment, then followed closely behind Chen Changqing.

"Master's cultivation has improved since his last trip. Could he have broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage?"

The Black Bear secretly transmitted its voice to the Mystic Serpent.

It was then discovered that Chen Changqing's aura was perfectly unified.

"It should be a breakthrough."

"This cultivation speed is ridiculously fast."

The Mystic Serpent silently responded, and deep down, it felt even more awe towards Chen Changqing.

Xiaoqian, who was following behind Chen Changqing, was also greatly shocked.

"Under your command, guarding the mountain gate are... two powerful Demon Kings!"

Xiaoqian was deeply shocked.

They naturally realized that the Black Bear and the Mystic Serpent were not weak, both being Demon Kings Demon Race, and that they were guarding the mountain gate at Evergreen Peak.

Before long, Chen Changqing led Xiaoqian and the others to Evergreen Peak.

"Senior Brother Changqing!!"

Ran Hua was the first to spot Chen Changqing. With a startled cry, she quickly ran towards Chen Changqing.

Upon approaching, filled with excitement, he quickly bowed deeply to Chen Changqing:

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

Chen Changqing smiled and nodded, immediately noticing that Ran Hua's cultivation had already Core Formation, which wasn't slow considering Ran Hua's aptitude.

Soon, everyone else on Evergreen Peak sensed Chen Changqing's return and came to pay their respects immediately.

Wang Yang, Shi Tian, Liu Mu, Qingyang.

And of course, there's that Little Black Dog wandering around outside.

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

"Master, you're back!"

"..."

Everyone was overjoyed to see Chen Changqing.
