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

Leng Sha struggled to his feet, looking utterly disheveled. His face was ashen, and a large hole had been blasted through his chest by the violent pure yang energy, revealing the skin underneath, which was almost charred black.

Thanks to the protective spiritual power he had forcibly erected, Chen Changsheng's Yang Fire did not harm the foundation of his life.

But the excruciating pain that spread from the inside of his internal organs was enough to haunt him for a lifetime, and it planted an indelible shadow of fear in his mind.

At this moment, the bloodlust and contempt he had shown in his eyes when he looked at Chen Changsheng were completely gone.

All that remained was terror and shock.

Leng Sha lowered his head, dragging his heavy weapon, and walked back to his seat in the Shadow Killing Pavilion without saying a word.

He knew better than anyone else that he had become nothing more than a stepping stone for Chen Changsheng to climb to the top.

Looking back now, all the mockery and disdain I had shown towards Chen Changsheng were nothing but a bunch of jokes that slapped me hard in the face.

"Cold-blooded... he actually... lost!"

"This is terrifying! Leng Sha is a top-tier assassin at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment! Even he fell to Chen Changsheng!"

"At the first level of Foundation Establishment, his true energy is as powerful as a demonic beast, and his movement is as unpredictable as a ghost. He also possesses such a domineering and unparalleled fire-based technique!"

The fire-based technique he just used was completely different from the inheritances of the Blazing Fire Sect and ancient families; its level was exceptionally high…

He's only sixteen years old!

"Such talent and comprehension, even if it cannot compare to the renowned Li Han, is probably not far off!"

He might be comparable to the top geniuses in Cangwu City!

Looking at the younger generation of Cangwu City, Chen Changsheng's potential is enough to break into the top three!

From the members to the captains, everyone in the Shadow Killing Pavilion was lost in thought for a long time.

Because no one knew Leng Sha's methods and strength better than them, yet this almost invincible assassin was severely injured by a sixteen-year-old boy from Cangwu Academy in full view of everyone!

The intense visual and emotional impact left them so shocked that they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

Lei Zhen, Hong Lie, Feng Yu, and the others who had been defeated by Chen Changsheng earlier now had bulging eyes and dry throats.

When they were defeated by Chen Changsheng, they still harbored some sense of relief and resentment, but at this moment, they suddenly realized the truth.

When Chen Changsheng fought them before, he was simply hiding his true strength!

They probably didn't even use 30% of their combat strength!

If the other side gets serious, they will only lose faster and more miserably!

Looking back now, my previous arrogance and boasting in front of Chen Changsheng seems as ridiculous as an ignorant puppy barking unreasonably at a lion cub.

"Such near-monstrous talent is rare even among the seven top sects with their profound foundations, yet our Cangwu Academy has truly produced such an extraordinary disciple!"

The two academy deacons beside him nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

Geniuses are so rare in this world; just one is enough to bring glory to the entire sect and protect it for a hundred years!

As an academy established by the royal family, Cangwu Academy has not produced any outstanding talents who can rival the top powers for countless years. This is the fundamental reason why the academy has always been unable to hold its head high in the face of the major powers.

And this constraint that had suffocated the academy for decades was finally shattered today because of Chen Changsheng's sudden emergence!

Because of Chen Changsheng alone, Cangwu Academy was able to hold its head high and vent its anger at this banquet that should have been severely suppressed and given a warning!

The arrogance and disdain that the prodigies of the various sects had shown when they first entered the sect were gone from their eyes.

The students at the academy on the sidelines are still in a state of shock and disbelief.

Despite facing the formidable Leng Sha, the eldest cousin still emerged victorious!

A Foundation Establishment Level 1 cultivator can easily overcome several levels and crush a Foundation Establishment Level 5 cultivator – what an incredible combat ability!

These five consecutive exhilarating visual feasts, each more spectacular than the last, jolted everyone awake from their reverie.

"I used to consider myself a genius of the True Inheritance Academy, but compared to Junior Brother Chen today... sigh, I'm simply not worth mentioning."

During the gathering, many of the academy's elite disciples secretly felt ashamed and sighed.

They may have some pride, but after witnessing Chen Changsheng's five consecutive cross-border kills...

The pride I once felt had completely vanished, replaced by heartfelt admiration and respect.

"Is...is this really my cousin...?"

Tie Niu rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself for what seemed like the hundredth time, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

He came from a remote and impoverished village, and despite the lack of resources, he was able to display such extraordinary skills.

If he were given the cultivation resources of a top-tier sect, his achievements would undoubtedly be even more astonishing...

Looking at Chen Changsheng standing proudly on the stage, Nangong Yue's calm heart was stirred by intense ripples.

He... isn't he the destined one that Master once mentioned?

Thinking of this, an unusual light appeared in Nangong Yue's shimmering eyes, and her gaze towards Chen Changsheng subtly changed without her realizing it.

Having gone through five major battles in a row, Chen Changsheng's physical strength and true energy were obviously greatly depleted.

Despite his outward composure and nonchalance, he remained calm and collected.

But fine beads of sweat were already seeping from his forehead, and his breathing was slightly heavy.

The piercing wound on his left arm was particularly eye-catching, and the glaring blood stained most of his sleeve red.

Without the slightest hesitation, Nangong Yue quickly got up and took out all the top-grade healing medicines she carried with her.

She walked lightly to Chen Changsheng's side, her concern evident in her words:

"Junior Brother Chen, how badly is your arm injured? Let me take a look."

Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said softly, "It's nothing, just some superficial injuries. It didn't damage my bones or muscles, and my internal energy has already sealed my blood vessels. Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Nangong."

"Don't be stubborn, extend your hand."

Nangong Yue extended her slender, jade-like hand and gently supported Chen Changsheng's arm, then carefully examined the wound.

Then, a look of surprise appeared on her cold and beautiful face. The wound on Chen Changsheng's arm looked deep and long, but as he said, it had not damaged the bone at all.

That was a powerful, icy strike from Leng Sha, yet it only left a minor wound on Chen Changsheng!

Chen Changsheng took in the surprise in Nangong Yue's eyes, and a slight, teasing smile appeared on his lips:

"Senior sister, do you believe me now? My physical body is as strong as iron; I won't suffer a great loss so easily."

Nangong Yue chuckled at his appearance, glancing at him with her beautiful eyes: "You're fair-skinned and handsome, but where is your iron-like appearance? You look more like a pretty boy trying to win over girls."

"Cough...pretty boy?"

Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Nangong Yue's stunning profile so close to his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "It is my honor to be called a pretty boy by such a peerless beauty as Senior Sister Nangong."

"How about my senior sister takes care of me?"

"Pfft...you're so glib."

Nangong Yue gave a coquettish laugh, her pretty face slightly flushed as she glared at him: "I'm your senior sister. If you dare to tease your senior sister again, be careful I'll reveal your secret that you're already engaged, and then you won't be able to fool any girls anymore."

Chen Changsheng immediately looked helpless and touched his nose with a wry smile.

Seeing that Nangong Yue actually took the initiative to walk towards Chen Changsheng, she not only personally took out ointment to gently bandage and treat his wounds.

The two stood very close, and their conversation even carried a hint of playful banter, like that of two bickering lovers...

Sitting not far away, Dugu Cheng's face instantly darkened to the point of almost dripping water, his heart burning with jealousy!

In Cangwu Academy, everyone regarded him and Nangong Yue as a perfect couple.

But only he knew that Nangong Yue had always maintained a polite and distant distance from him, and had never treated him with such a gentle and coquettish attitude.

"Damn bastard! Chen Changsheng, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Dugu Cheng clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white and cracking from the excessive force, his eyes filled with unbearable jealousy.

Chen Changsheng seemed to keenly sense the venomous gaze that almost pierced through him.

Yu Guang glanced sideways in Dugu Cheng's direction, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Suddenly, a series of smooth and rhythmic claps rang out crisply in the hall, instantly breaking the surrounding noise.

Following the direction of the applause, everyone saw that the aloof young man who had been sitting in the main VIP seat had slowly stood up from his seat.

"Brilliant! What an eye-opening show!"

"I originally came on behalf of my father to congratulate Dean Liu on the opening of his residence. I never expected to have the privilege of witnessing the rise of a new star in this small Cangwu Academy."

The young man smiled and spoke slowly, standing with his hands behind his back, as he walked step by step toward Chen Changsheng in the center of the hall.

He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but his handsome and flawless face showed no trace of youthful immaturity. He exuded a suffocating aura of superiority and noble arrogance.

Upon seeing the aloof young man slowly walk into the arena, the once noisy hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant!

Everyone in the audience held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly!

Severe cold!

He is undoubtedly the supreme overlord among the younger generation of Cangwu City!

From the moment Li Han entered the main hall, he became the center of attention.

However, before this, no one expected him to step down.

Even though Chen Changsheng swept aside all the geniuses of his age from various sects, and all forces were at a loss, no one dared to associate him with Li Han.

Because Li Han's level has long surpassed that of the younger generation in Cangwu City!

Tie Zheng reached the third level of Foundation Establishment at the age of seventeen, and Leng Sha reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment at the age of eighteen. These two were already the pride of heaven, cherished by various prestigious families.

Li Han... was only eighteen years old, but his cultivation had already reached the astonishing ninth level of Foundation Establishment!

Li Han never participated in the sparring among the younger generation of various forces in Cangwu City, because no one of his peers was worthy of being his opponent, and no one was worth his personal attention.

Everyone understands that once he crosses this small Cangwu City, he will inevitably step into those unapproachable cultivation sects or even ancient aristocratic families!

That was a colossal thing that even the major sects of Cangwu City could only bow down and worship!

But now, this supreme genius, who was once so high and mighty, actually got up from his seat and started to approach Chen Changsheng, who was in the center of the arena, step by step!

The space seemed to freeze at that moment, and everyone's heart began to pound wildly.

Could it be... that he's actually going to personally crush Chen Changsheng?
