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

Li Han's sudden act of stepping forward took everyone's surprise.

Although Chen Changsheng has emerged today and amazed everyone with five consecutive victories, in terms of reputation and foundation, he still cannot compare with Li Han, who has long been the best in Cangwu City.

While Chen Changsheng's extraordinary talent allowed him to easily defeat the younger generation of Cangwu City, Li Han was already a prodigy who had reached the level of a top-tier genius from a prestigious family.

If Chen Changsheng, in his youthful arrogance, had taken the initiative to challenge Li Han, people would have at most laughed at him for overestimating his abilities.

But now, Li Han has surprisingly taken the initiative to approach the other party, and the deeper meaning behind this is quite intriguing...

Could it be that this supreme overlord wants to spar with Chen Changsheng?

No, absolutely not!

Given Li Han's noble status, boundless arrogance, and terrifying combat power, how could he willingly lower himself to spar with a junior disciple of the academy?

But if not, what exactly is his intention in stepping forward now?

Li Han took the initiative to step forward, his deep gaze fixed on Chen Changsheng, which caused a strange look to flash in Chen Changsheng's eyes.

He smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Young Master Li is too kind. I am just an ordinary disciple of Cangwu Academy and am certainly not worthy of the title of rising star."

In this Cangwu City, only Young Master Li truly deserves to be called a star.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Han laughed heartily, a laugh that subtly carried an air of superiority and nobility, completely unlike the voice of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old:

"Brother Chen, please don't be too modest. After these fierce battles, the name Chen Changsheng will surely resound throughout Cangwu City, and his future achievements will be limitless."

"It is a great honor for me to be here in person to witness this today."

Chen Changsheng looked flattered and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Young Master Li, your words are too kind."

My meager skills are nothing more than a firefly before the bright moon in front of Young Master Li; they are not worth mentioning.

I wonder what advice Young Master Li has for stepping forward this time?

I'm all ears.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, there's really no need to be so modest."

Whether it is firefly light or the bright moon, the seniors and colleagues present naturally know the answer.

The reason I have taken the liberty of approaching you is because I have a favor to ask.

Having just witnessed Brother Chen's extraordinary prowess in defeating five sect leaders in succession, I was not only amazed and impressed, but also itching to try my hand at the game.

"Brother Chen, would you be willing to spar with me?"

Li Han stared directly at Chen Changsheng, a smile playing on his lips, his posture flawless.

Upon hearing this, a murmur of barely suppressed noise erupted in the hall, and even Chen Changsheng was momentarily stunned.

"Li Han actually wants to challenge... no, I mean, spar with Chen Changsheng? This... this is just too absurd!"

"Chen Changsheng is indeed a monster that appears only once in a century, but Li Han has already stepped into another level. Why would he take the initiative to condescend to fight him?"

This is completely illogical.

"Could it be that because the major sects have lost face today, Young Master Li is planning to personally take action to get revenge?"

And incidentally, let this arrogant newcomer understand what a true, ultimate, decisive blow really is.

Chen Changsheng did not respond immediately, but stood quietly in place, as if he was stunned by the sudden challenge.

Yet, in this deathly silence, his eyes were fixed on Li Han's eyes like sharp blades.

Li Han stood five steps away, his aura as steady as a mountain, exuding an undisguised transcendence and nobility.

However, what secretly alarmed Chen Changsheng was that beneath this gentle and harmless exterior lay a hidden depth.

The internal energy within him was incredibly powerful, faintly radiating an invisible pressure that was suffocating.

He was like an ancient ferocious beast lurking at the bottom of an abyss; once he made his move, he would devour the heavens and the earth!

But these are secondary; the most fatal flaw is...

In the deepest part of his dark pupils, Chen Changsheng keenly caught a fleeting glimpse of bloodlust and malice!

Chen Changsheng was all too familiar with this kind of insidious killing intent that came from the depths of his bones.

This Li Han... wants to use the guise of sparring to completely cripple me!

Chen Changsheng instantly came to this cruel conclusion, his mind sinking into an icy abyss.

But why?

He had no prior connection with her, nor any conflict of interest; it was only their first meeting. He had absolutely no reason to harm her.

Was it merely to personally stifle a rising star who might pose a threat to him in the future?

In other words, his sensational performance today had ultimately aroused a trace of fear in this supreme overlord.

If that's true, then this seemingly gentle and refined young man is more cunning and ruthless than a demon!

Upon realizing this, Chen Changsheng immediately showed a look of panic and said in fear:

"Young Master Li actually wants to spar with me?"

This... is not me being self-deprecating. Although I have only been in Cangwu City for a short time, I am well aware that Young Master Li has already taken one step into the Golden Core stage at the young age of eighteen.

My shallow skills are far inferior to Young Master Li's; I am truly terrified to spar with you.

But before anyone could laugh, he suddenly changed his tone, straightened his face, and raised his head, saying:

"However, since Young Master Li thinks so highly of me, how could I dare to be ungrateful?"

It is a great honor for me to spar with the renowned Young Master Li!

"good!"

Li Han smiled and nodded with satisfaction, saying gently, "Since it's a friendly exchange, fairness should naturally come first."

Brother Chen has fought five battles in a row, and his strength has been greatly depleted and his left arm has been injured.

Before we fight, Brother Chen, why don't you sit down and meditate to regulate your breathing? Once your true energy has returned to its peak, then we can have a fair and square contest.

No, there's no need for that.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Changsheng rejected Li Han's reasonable and entirely favorable proposal without hesitation!

"Although I have expended a lot of energy, I still have some trump cards left, which should be enough to keep up with Young Master Li for a few rounds."

As for the minor injuries on my arms, they are just superficial wounds and not worth mentioning.

Besides, it's just a casual sparring match, not a life-or-death duel, so how can there be any absolute fairness?

Why let my insignificant injuries spoil the enjoyment of Young Master Li and all the seniors present?

Chen Changsheng's words were so powerful that they left everyone in the hall speechless!

Because anyone who isn't deaf can hear an overwhelming sense of absolute confidence and pride in Chen Changsheng's seemingly casual words!

"My God, has Chen Changsheng... gone mad?"

"What do you mean by having some strength left over, enough to go through a few moves with Young Master Li?"

Who does he think he is?

Who does he take Li Han for?

"Chen Changsheng is indeed a peerless genius, but he dares to be so arrogant in front of Li Han. He's simply ignorant of his own limitations and has brought shame upon himself! If Li Han is truly enraged, he could cripple him with a single hand!"

"Sigh, I guess he's only been in Cangwu City for a few days. He's only heard of Li Han's name and has no idea how terrifying that monster really is."

I bet if he knew more about it, he wouldn't dare say such a boast even if he had ten lives!

"Hehe, this is going to be fun."

Li Han was incredibly arrogant; upon hearing these words, he would surely be filled with rage.

"Who knows, Chen Changsheng might suffer a terrible fate in a little while... Hey, this is going to be good!"

"Junior Brother Chen!"

Nangong Yue frowned and hurriedly whispered a word of advice: "Although Li Han is about the same age as you, he is not on the same level as those people just now!"

You absolutely mustn't be arrogant and try to tough it out...

"Don't worry, Senior Sister."

Chen Changsheng interrupted her directly, saying calmly, "My current state is not as bad as you think."

Besides, it's just a sparring match with Young Master Li; what does it matter if I win or lose?

"But……"

Nangong Yue wanted to persuade him further, but she met Chen Changsheng's incredibly calm and confident gaze. She could only sigh inwardly and silently retreat to her seat with great worry.

Chen Changsheng turned around and looked directly at Li Han, saying, "Young Master Li, shall we begin now?"

Now that things have come to this, Chen Changsheng's harsh words have left him with no way out.

Li Han's smile became slightly stiff.

Having been particular his whole life, this was probably the first time he had ever encountered a peer who dared to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Since Brother Chen insists so much, I will naturally respect your wishes."

However, your current condition is truly worrying. After five rounds of continuous battles, your true energy is depleted, and your protective techniques are likely to collapse easily.

"What if I accidentally injure you in one move later...?"

"Haha, Young Master Li is overthinking it."

Chen Changsheng laughed heartily, "In friendly sparring, injuries and fatalities are inevitable."

If I were to suffer a serious injury due to the slightest mistake, it would be because my skills were inferior to others, and since I insisted on leaving the arena, I would certainly not blame Young Master Li in the slightest.

Everyone present can testify, so Young Master Li, please go all out so that I, a newcomer to Cangwu City, can experience the unparalleled prowess of the number one among the younger generation!

These words startled several instructors at Cangwu Academy so much that they nearly fell off their chairs!

Meanwhile, the supporters of the major sects, especially the ancient families, were already laughing unrestrainedly, some even laughing so hard they couldn't close their mouths, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Only Nangong Yue and Dashan looked anxious and flustered, while Dugu Cheng gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing unbridled joy...

This idiot actually dug his own hole and jumped right in!

Li Han, you absolutely must cripple this kid completely!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Han laughed loudly, saying, "If I were to be injured by Brother Chen by sheer luck, it is due to my lack of skill, and naturally I cannot blame Brother Chen. Everyone present can attest to that!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than one of the elders leading the Blazing Fire Sect shouted:

"Gentlemen, please rest assured. Today, with renowned figures from all sides here as witnesses, neither of you shall hold the other accountable for any serious injury sustained during the sparring match! Otherwise, you would be a treacherous and untrustworthy person!"

The various sects rose up in response, and these words were clearly meant for Cangwu Academy... because in their eyes, even Chen Changsheng in his prime had no chance of winning, let alone a cripple with greatly depleted true energy and a wounded body.

Little guy... what kind of trump card are you hiding?

Liu Qianfeng thought to himself.

Just then, a warning message from Mu Qing'er suddenly rang in Chen Changsheng's mind:

"Immortality!"

We must not be careless!

"I just sensed the aura of a Golden Core-level protective magic treasure hidden beneath Li Han's robes! If you were to attack according to normal methods, you wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest; instead, you would fall into his deadly trap!"

A Golden Core level protective magic weapon?!

Chen Changsheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a murderous intent surged in his heart!

No wonder this bastard dared to sign a contract with me so confidently, leaving his life and death to fate. It turns out he had already donned the Golden Core level tortoise shell!

He wanted to use absolute defense to withstand one of his own attacks, and then use swift and decisive methods to completely cripple him!

What a treacherous and ruthless number one!

The arrogance and smile in Chen Changsheng's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by an extremely violent and ruthless edge!

Since this bastard is heartless first, then don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!

"good!"

Li Han gracefully clasped his hands in a fist salute, then chuckled gratingly, "Since that's the case, I'll have to ask Brother Chen for a lesson. I beg you... to go easy on me."

Show mercy?

Chen Changsheng's lips curled into a cold and cruel smile, too lazy to waste any words.

His internal energy exploded instantly without reservation!

The second level of the Pure Yang Overlord Body... The power of the two Yangs burst forth!

At the same time, the hidden trump card of the Myriad Descendants Longevity Realm, which was lurking deep within his soul, was also forcibly activated. The vast and mighty power of the realm transformed into a tremendous blessing, silently and frantically pouring into his meridians!

A terrifying, murderous light erupted from Chen Changsheng's eyes...

I have no grudge against you, yet you try to use a friendly sparring match to destroy my foundation.

Since you're going to ruin me...

Then I'll take the first step... and completely cripple you!
