At eighty, the Holy Sect's enchanting woman aided in achieving longevity.

The seemingly inevitable, deadly strike missed, causing Leng Sha's originally sinister expression to freeze completely on his face.

His eyes flashed with ferocity, and with a twist of his waist, the cold, sharp blade in his hand swirled and slashed without pause, creating an extremely sharp sound of wind breaking, aiming straight for Chen Changsheng's neck!

Swords and blades possess their domineering and sharp nature; Leng Sha's sword strike stirred up a chilling, sinister wind.

Like a venomous viper lurking in the darkness, it suddenly pounces and bites at the enemy's vitals.

Chen Changsheng remained calm and composed, taking a slight step back to avoid the fatal second blow.

With a loud hiss, the violent sword energy missed its target.

It carved a deep trench, several meters long, into the hard bluestone floor of the main hall.

The aftershocks of the sword energy caused many of the young disciples present to gasp in shock.

"Leng Sha showed no mercy in this move, each strike aimed directly at vital points... He clearly intended to kill!"

"To openly commit murder in the main hall of Cangwu Academy, I'm afraid only the cold-faced killer of the Shadow Killing Pavilion would dare to do such a thing."

If this fight continues, Chen Changsheng is likely to die here today.

In the main hall, the academy's dean, Liu Qianfeng, sat upright in the chairman's seat.

He calmly gazed at the two combatants on the field.

Despite Gu Canghai's repeated winks, hoping the dean would intervene to stop this extremely unfair contest with such a disparity in cultivation levels, Liu Qianfeng ignored them and made no attempt to stop it.

Liu Qianfeng's deep gaze was fixed on Chen Changsheng, his heart churning with turbulent emotions...

The cultivation level emanating from the young man before them was indeed only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, in the blink of an eye, the quality and explosive power of that true energy were incredibly strong.

Could it be that this little guy has been deliberately hiding his true strength?

To defeat the young master of the Iron Sword Sect at such a young age and with such a high level of skill is enough to shake the entire Cangwu City.

If he can cross the border and defeat Leng Sha, who is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, today... then he might be witnessing the rise of a future powerhouse with his own eyes at this grand banquet!

From the very beginning, this young man displayed extreme arrogance, even to the point of being somewhat unscrupulous.

But is he really that arrogant and conceited by nature?

When facing the sincere Tie Zheng, he displayed a completely different attitude of humility and openness.

True arrogance is often characterized by restlessness and impetuosity, but this young man's aura and gaze remained calm throughout, like a timeless ice pool, a composure far beyond what a sixteen-year-old could possess.

The only explanation is that his initial arrogance was a deliberate attempt to hide his weaknesses and feign weakness!

Even deliberately provoking and offending major powers was a game he orchestrated!

Having decided to join the Cangwu Academy, yet deliberately provoking the hatred of all major forces, what kind of earth-shattering scheme is this kid plotting?

Liu Qianfeng's thoughts raced, his eyes revealing an undisguised deep interest and appreciation.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng was completely enveloped by the cold, impenetrable sword shadows in the center of the arena.

Leng Sha's attacks became faster and faster. Although he only had a long sword in his hand, he managed to unleash dozens of chilling, illusory streaks of light.

At the heart of that suffocating storm of sword energy, Chen Changsheng was like a small boat navigating a tempestuous storm.

Relying on the mysterious trajectory of the Nine Shadows of the Heavenly Fox, it constantly drifted and shifted.

The sword light whistled past, but it could not leave even the slightest mark on him.

This undoubtedly means that Chen Changsheng's speed in dodging and moving... is faster than Leng Sha's sword, which is at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage!

The disciples inside the hall were completely dumbfounded.

Everyone initially thought Chen Changsheng would be instantly killed or severely injured by this assassin, and Leng Sha's attacks were indeed ruthless and unparalleled...

But now, after nearly a hundred moves, Leng Sha hasn't even managed to touch the hem of Chen Changsheng's clothes for a moment.

Whenever Leng Sha's assassination attempt landed, Chen Changsheng's figure would shift by the millimeter, causing Leng Sha's deadly strikes to hit only the remaining afterimages time and time again.

By using the minimal displacement of the Nine Shadows of the Heavenly Fox, Chen Changsheng reduced the consumption of his true energy to the extreme.

The prerequisite for doing all this is his extraordinary perception ability, which is far beyond that of ordinary people. He can accurately predict the cutting trajectory of the sword in a fraction of a second when the opponent throws the sword!

"No wonder..."

Gu Canghai stared blankly for a long time, then couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:

"He actually made predictions and senses based on subtle changes in airflow and the surrounding atmosphere!"

In the early stages of cultivation, vision is the primary means of discerning techniques. To be able to predict techniques instinctively based entirely on the flow of true qi, one needs to accumulate at least several decades of combat experience...

Only a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, over thirty years old, could do that!

No one among the younger generation present could match her. How did she manage to do it?

Moreover, he was so adept at it, remaining calm and composed even when faced with a deadly situation!

Just as streaks of cold, sharp sword light whistled past him, a clear, admonishing voice suddenly echoed from the depths of Chen Changsheng's mind:

"Quickly finish this battle! You have only recently awakened the power of the Two Yangs and have already engaged in a series of high-intensity battles. Your physical body is already nearing its limit."

With your current physical condition, you can only maintain the second Yang state for a maximum of thirty seconds!

Exceeding this time limit will inevitably damage the meridians!

Chen Changsheng's heart tightened slightly, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"You damn good-for-nothing, all you know how to do is hide like a rat?"

After unleashing over a hundred moves without even scratching a hair on his opponent's head, Leng Sha's eyes turned red with rage, and he roared furiously.

Enraged, Leng Sha frantically unleashed the spiritual power of the fifth level of Foundation Establishment within his body, making his sword strikes increasingly violent. The rampaging sword energy shattered the bluestone on the floor of the main hall, sending stones flying everywhere!

As if Leng Sha's roar had taken effect, when he thrust his sword down again, Chen Changsheng did not choose to use his strange movement technique to dodge. Instead, he suddenly lunged forward and forcefully attacked Leng Sha's face, meeting the cold light head-on!

Leng Sha was overjoyed at the sight and roared in his heart: You idiot, you're asking for death!

Chi!

The longsword slashed fiercely diagonally across Chen Changsheng's left arm, and blood splattered everywhere!

However, when Leng Sha saw that his sword had only left a bloody mark on the other's arm, he was more surprised than pleased.

His sword strike, imbued with the spiritual power of the peak fifth level of Foundation Establishment, was actually withstood by Chen Changsheng's rock-solid domineering body energy. Not only did it not sever his entire arm, it didn't even manage to damage his bones!

How could this kid's protective aura be so powerful?

Before Leng Sha could recover from his shock, Chen Changsheng's counterattack, earned by enduring a sword strike, had already landed!

He had already secretly activated the Heavenly Deception Technique, attaching an extremely compressed and refined pure Yang fire seed to his right palm. Taking advantage of Leng Sha's momentary lapse in concentration, he pressed his palm against Leng Sha's chest!

boom!

The thick protective aura on Leng Sha's chest collapsed the moment it came into contact with this palm strike, and he felt a heavy, immense force rushing towards him.

The shock caused his internal organs to churn violently, and he staggered back seven or eight steps in a disheveled state.

However, before Leng Sha could calm down and prepare to unleash a killing move to get revenge, he suddenly saw Chen Changsheng slowly extend his right hand towards him, a strange and cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"burst!!"

Chen Changsheng suddenly clenched his outstretched fingers, facing Leng Sha, and uttered a deep, thunderous word.

Just as everyone was puzzled by this move, a muffled "boom" suddenly came from Leng Sha's body!

"Ughhhhhh!"

A heart-wrenching scream instantly shattered the silence of the entire hall!

A burst of crimson-gold flames suddenly exploded from Leng Sha's chest without warning!

That was the pure yang fire seed that Chen Changsheng had silently implanted into his body using the "Deceiving Heaven Technique of All Heavens"!

A raging pure yang fire erupted from the depths of Leng Sha's chest, devouring his flesh, bones, and even meridians!

Leng Sha collapsed to the ground in agony, rolling around frantically, desperately pounding his chest with his hands, trying to extinguish the strange, demonic fire that had appeared out of nowhere.

However, this fire was directly ignited by Chen Changsheng's extremely pure Yang Qi inside his body. Unless he cuts open his chest, it is impossible to extinguish!

To see a cold-faced killer, known for his bloodthirstiness and cruelty, wail and be tortured to this state, shows just how devastating and unparalleled the pain he is enduring is!

The flames ignited from the depths of their internal organs, and the faces of everyone in the hall changed instantly. Some turned ashen, some were as pale as paper, and many of the younger disciples trembled like leaves in fear.

"It's a fire-based technique... He's even proficient in fire-based spells!"

"My God! This is a profound technique that involves injecting true energy into the enemy's body and detonating it remotely!"

"How could Chen Changsheng, that monster... possibly have mastered such a terrifying fire control technique at the age of sixteen!"

"So that's how it is! No wonder Hong Lie of the Blazing Fire Sect was defeated so inexplicably before!"

It wasn't a mistake at all; Chen Changsheng's expertise in fire magic far surpassed his!

Hong Lie was playing with fire in front of him; it was like showing off his skills before an expert!

Seeing the crimson-gold flames completely explode in Leng Sha's chest, the elders of the various forces suddenly realized the truth amidst their shock.

Hong Lie, who had been defeated earlier, stood frozen in place, his face ashen, finally realizing that his defeat was not unjust at all.

If Leng Sha hadn't been so focused on killing after being hit, and instead had immediately circulated his true energy to expel the foreign true energy from his body, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

Chen Changsheng walked step by step to Leng Sha, looking down at him as he screamed and rolled on the ground, his eyes filled with only indifference and pity.

"I've said it before, I have absolutely no interest in the name of someone like you."

"You possess the cultivation level of the fifth stage of Foundation Establishment, yet you can't even defeat someone like me who is only at the first stage. A piece of trash like you, all show and no substance, doesn't deserve my attention."

After saying that, Chen Changsheng sneered, flicked his fingers lightly in the air, and withdrew the wisp of pure yang true energy that had been lodged in Leng Sha's chest. The nightmarish raging fire finally went out.

Leng Sha collapsed to his knees, convulsing, his body covered in blood and charred marks. The bloodlust and arrogance that had once filled his eyes were gone.

All that remained was a deep-seated panic and fear from the very depths of one's soul.

At this moment, the entire main hall was completely silent. Chen Changsheng's fame and prestige had reached their peak with this explosion!
