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

Not long after Chen Changsheng left, in the main hall of Cangwu Academy.

A woman dressed in pure white, with a graceful and ethereal appearance, slowly walked out from behind the hall.

Liu Qianfeng was still immersed in Chen Changsheng's shocking remarks and terrifying schemes when he saw the woman approaching, and his expression suddenly froze.

Immediately, the newly appointed dean of Cangwu Academy, the highest authority in the entire academy, showed boundless respect on his face.

He hurriedly stood up from the armchair and stepped forward, stopping three steps away, bowing and saying, "Your Highness."

If other elders or instructors from the academy were present, they would be astonished to see the high-ranking and powerful Liu Qianfeng performing such a grand gesture of respect to a young woman.

The masked woman nodded slightly, her voice clear and cold like the clash of jade: "Dean Liu, what is your opinion of Chen Changsheng?"

After carefully considering his words, Liu Qianfeng cautiously said, "With the cultivation of the first level of Foundation Establishment, he successively crossed several minor realms and even fought against the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and even crippled Li Han with a single punch."

Such a talent, almost monstrous, is something I have never seen before in my life.

If he had been born into a major sect, he would probably be famous throughout the world by now.

This child's future achievements are absolutely limitless.

"That's what I think too."

The woman sighed softly, her tone calm, "However, he has really stirred up a hornet's nest today."

If nothing unexpected happens, the Li family will come knocking on our door in full force within two hours.

"At that time, Dean Liu, please do everything in your power to stop him and save Chen Changsheng's life."

"this……"

Liu Qianfeng was slightly taken aback. "Could it be that Your Highness... has taken a liking to him?"

The woman nodded gently and sighed, "Over the past few years, I have traveled to various cities and martial arts academies, but I have still not been able to find a satisfactory successor."

But this Chen Changsheng really caught my eye.

"However, although Chen Changsheng has shown amazing combat power, he is only a teenager and has not been cultivating for long. He is only at the Foundation Establishment stage."

There are not many days left until that grand gathering of geniuses. His current talent is considered top-notch in Cangwu City, but compared with the freakish talents of those ancient lineages in Zhongzhou... he is still far behind.

Even compared to the top disciples of the imperial city's elite sects, there is an insurmountable gap. Liu Qianfeng was somewhat puzzled.

The masked woman calmly replied, "Because he used the power of the Foundation Establishment stage, under extreme strain, to cripple Li Han, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, in one move."

He accomplished something that none of the most brilliant geniuses I've ever seen could do, and that alone is enough.

Although his cultivation level is still low, the moment he crippled Li Han, I had a feeling that he would soon reach a height that would astound everyone.

At this point, she smiled and said, "You know, the most accurate thing in the world is a woman's intuition."

Liu Qianfeng pondered for a moment, then lowered his head respectfully and said:

"I understand. Since it is His Highness's will, I will do everything in my power to ensure his safety."

I will also make it easy for him to access the cultivation resources in the academy.

However… regarding his background…”

"There's no need to worry about that."

The woman spoke calmly, "Now I am all alone. I entered Cangwu Academy through my grandfather's old acquaintance in order to find a place to stay."

His background is extremely simple and innocent.

I have already had people verify these things..."

The woman smiled faintly, "Whether he's lying or not, you can see through it at a glance."

"However, I have only chosen him temporarily. In the coming days, I will stay at Cangwu Academy and personally investigate and get to know him."

If he ultimately proves unworthy of his reputation, I will find someone else.

"Dean Liu, you'll be working hard these next few days. Although the Li family branch is just a branch of an ancient family, it shouldn't be underestimated when they get serious."

"Hehe, Your Highness, please rest assured. I have dealt with the main branches of ancient families. What do I have to fear from a mere local branch?"

However... it's unclear how Chen Changsheng developed his character; despite his young age, his cunning is terrifyingly deep.

Everything he does and says is driven by a strong purpose.

Just now, I spoke with him. He was clearly standing right in front of me, yet I couldn't see through him at all; his eyes were as calm as an ancient well.

Liu Qianfeng shook his head with a wry smile:

"Even the number one on the Imperial City's Prodigy Ranking, who is always unsmiling, has never given me such a strange sense of oppression."

I feel that this is someone who is absolutely impossible to be manipulated or controlled by others.

Leaving aside whether he can meet His Highness's expectations in the future, just persuading him to serve His Highness is an extremely difficult task.

Your Highness should understand that his entry into Cangwu Academy was entirely without any intention of submitting to the royal family.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this assessment, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's beautiful eyes, followed by a smile:

"Don't worry, Dean Liu, I will handle this matter personally. I trust my judgment and, more importantly, my skills."

In the southern suburbs of Cangwu City, there is a branch mansion of the Li family.

The usually solemn and dignified Li family mansion was now shrouded in deathly silence and panic.

"Make way! Make way, everyone! The young master is seriously injured! Quickly call the patriarch and the head of the medicine hall! Hurry!"

The elder guard, carrying the half-crippled Li Han on his back, rushed into the Li family mansion like a madman and headed straight for the medicine hall.

The attendants behind him were all drenched in sweat and their faces were ashen.

Before long, Li Yunheng, the head of a branch of the Li family, led several elders and arrived in a whirlwind.

Upon seeing Li Yunheng, the elder guard knelt on the ground with a thud, crying out in tears, "Master! Please save the young master! The young master... his bones are broken, even his dantian... has collapsed..."

Seeing the blood-soaked, unconscious Li Han on the back of the guard elder, Li Yunheng and the other elders were immediately shocked.

Li Yunheng stepped forward and took Li Han's pulse. The moment he touched him, he withdrew his hand as if struck by lightning!

Li Yunheng's previously composed face instantly twisted into an extremely ferocious expression. He grabbed the guard elder by the collar and roared like a raging beast, "Who? Who did this! Who dares to hurt my son!"

With a burst of energy from his palm, the mahogany table next to him was shattered by his violent force, sending wood chips flying everywhere!

"It's...it's Chen Changsheng, the new disciple from Cangwu Academy!"

The elder guard trembled violently. "That brat used deadly force during the sparring! Young Master... Young Master's bones are shattered, his dantian is cracked, and his cultivation is completely ruined!"

"Cangwu Academy?"

Li Yunheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely angry. "Bullshit! Which of those useless disciples in the academy can hurt Han'er!"

"Gather all the Black Armor Guards and raze Cangwu Academy to the ground!"

Cangwu Academy, a small courtyard on the back mountain.

After returning to his residence, Chen Changsheng sat cross-legged on the couch and quickly entered a meditative state, guiding the meager spiritual energy within his body to slowly repair his depleted meridians.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he opened his eyes again, night had already enveloped the earth.

Although the spiritual energy in his body had recovered to 30-40%, the soreness and stinging sensation caused by forcibly unleashing the power of the Two Yangs still spread throughout his body.

"Phew... I can finally catch my breath."

Chen Changsheng stretched his stiff joints and exhaled a breath of stale air. "The pain from this backlash is really quite severe."

"That's because your cultivation level is insufficient, and it's the consequence of forcibly controlling the second level of the Pure Yang Overlord Body's power."

Mu Qing'er's cold voice rang in my mind, "Fortunately, you finished quickly and only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour."

"If it had lasted any longer, you wouldn't just be experiencing soreness now; your muscles would be torn apart and your bones would be broken!"

"It's alright. I know my body best and I can handle things properly."

Chen Changsheng smiled calmly, then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, "However, the amplification of the dual yang power of this Pure Yang Overlord Body is indeed exceptionally domineering, actually allowing me to cripple my ninth level of Foundation Establishment with only the first level."

"The Pure Yang Overlord Body is an ancient and sacred body-refining technique, possessing ultimate Yang energy and unparalleled strength!"

Mu Qing'er explained, "The first level, One Yang Opens the Tai, can instantly double the strength of your physical body's blood and spiritual power."

The second level, Two Yangs Burning Heaven, can double the power.

The third triple Yang convergence can triple the effect!

If one could cultivate to the highest level of the Nine Yang Realm, destroying the heavens and the earth would be merely a thought away.

"With your current Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, forcibly activating the power of the Second Yang is already the limit. If you forcibly activate the Third Yang, your body will explode and die instantly."

Only when your cultivation reaches the mid-Foundation Establishment stage will you be able to control the power of the Two Yangs freely. As for the third level, you'll need to at least reach the Golden Core stage before you can even touch the threshold.

"I see." Chen Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.

With such divine power protecting him, it's not impossible for him to kill enemies even if he crosses a major realm in the future!

However, at that very moment...

"boom!!"

A deafening roar erupted from the direction of the Cangwu Academy's mountain gate, followed by a violent roar filled with boundless killing intent and rage, carrying a powerful Foundation Establishment aura that made the entire academy's buildings hum and vibrate.

"Hand over Chen Changsheng! Otherwise, tonight my Li family will massacre your Cangwu Academy!"

Under the silent night sky, the sounds of armor clashing and heavy footsteps surged in like a tidal wave. The Li family's iron cavalry had completely surrounded the Cangwu Academy!

Hearing the furious roar from afar, Chen Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and he leaped off the bed.

He stroked his chin with one hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.

Although Liu Qianfeng has stated that he will openly protect him, given Chen Changsheng's personality, he will naturally not entrust his life and fortune entirely to someone else.

Moreover, he didn't entirely believe that Liu Qianfeng would completely break ties with the Li family, the local power in Cangwu City, for the sake of a newly initiated disciple.

Today, Liu Qianfeng's act of protecting him in public is already an act of great kindness and righteousness.

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open.

Gu Dashan, still wrapped in bandages, rushed in, panting heavily. His face, already pale from internal injuries, was now filled with fear.

He grabbed Chen Changsheng's arm and said anxiously, "Brother Changsheng, run! The Li family is coming! They are shameless and don't care about the promise of not pursuing the matter."

You'd better escape through the back door... It's all my fault for being stupid!

I should have dragged you away as soon as the banquet ended!

"Dashan, don't panic." Chen Changsheng patted the back of his hand.

"How could I not panic! That's the Li family! The Li family!"

Brother, you may be powerful, but how could we possibly afford to offend the entire Li family?

If it falls into their hands, then... then...

Gu Dashan was so anxious that his hands and feet trembled, his face flushed, and he desperately pulled Chen Changsheng away.

"Since they've come to capture me in such a grand manner, they certainly won't give me an easy chance to escape."

Chen Changsheng remained extremely calm and analyzed lightly: "There are a large number of people at the main gate, and the back gate and all the side gates must have been sealed off by their experts long ago."

Even the city gates leading out of Cangwu City are likely guarded by spies from the Li family. Running towards the back gate in such a panic is tantamount to walking into a trap.

Gu Dashan was completely stunned, clutching his hair frantically and pacing around anxiously: "What do we do... what are we going to do?!"

Chen Changsheng turned around and pressed down on his shoulder, comforting him:

"Don't worry, our new Dean Liu is no ordinary person. He should be able to handle this wave."

Even if I can't stop them, I have a way to escape. Go to the front gate and find out what's going on. Be careful and stay hidden.

If a fight breaks out, the farther away you are, the better.

At this moment, flames were raging in front of the main gate of Cangwu Academy, and the atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Li Yunheng, the head of the Li family branch, personally led the team, followed by guard elders and hundreds of elite armored soldiers of the Li family. Their murderous aura filled the air, blocking the entire street.

The heavy mahogany gate of the academy, a symbol of dignity, had long been blasted into pieces by the violent true energy.

The disciples guarding the gate were covered in cold sweat, huddled to the side in fear, not daring to breathe.

Normally, they would dwarf any member of the Li family they encountered, but tonight, the head of the Li family himself had arrived, and they were so frightened that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

With a whooshing sound, Liu Qianfeng, along with the academy's elders and instructors, finally arrived.

Before he even arrived, Liu Qianfeng's fierce shouts echoed through the night: "Who goes there! How dare you be so insolent in front of my Cangwu Academy!"

"Li family, Li Yunheng! You are Liu Qianfeng, the new dean of Cangwu Academy?" Li Yunheng's face was dark, and his voice was as cold as ice.

Li Yunheng thought that announcing his name would be enough to intimidate the new dean who had just arrived.

What infuriated him was that Liu Qianfeng not only didn't show any surprise, but instead stroked his beard and laughed: "So you are the current head of a branch of the Li family."

In the evening, I heard your son mention that the head of the family was unwell and unable to attend the banquet.

I had planned to bring a small gift and pay my respects tomorrow, but it seems I was overthinking it.

"snort!"

Li Yunheng's face twisted violently. "You dare mention my son! Liu Qianfeng, I'd like to see what kind of explanation you have for today!"

"Explanation? What explanation?"

Liu Qianfeng's smile vanished, replaced by anger. "Your Li family broke into my Cangwu Academy without cause, destroyed our gates, and even threatened to raze this place to the ground! If anyone should give an explanation, it should be you, Li Yunheng, who should give Cangwu Academy an explanation!"

"Breaking in at night without cause?"

Li Yunheng laughed in anger and said sternly, "I have long heard that Dean Liu comes from Zhongzhou and has a noble status and upright character. But after meeting him today, I find that he is nothing but a liar who turns black into white and speaks nonsense!"

Your academy disciple Chen Changsheng poisoned and severely injured my son Li Han, causing his sternum to collapse and his dantian to crack, rendering him a complete cripple!

This blood feud is so deep that even if I were to tear Chen Changsheng to pieces and have his soul extracted and refined, it would still be impossible to quell the hatred in my heart!

"Oh, you mean this?"

Liu Qianfeng looked as if he had just realized something, then said with a puzzled expression, "I was there at the time and saw it clearly."

Could it be that the head of the Li family was so furious about this?

Hehe, then I don't understand.

Before our disciple Chen Changsheng sparred with your son, he publicly established the rule that it would be a life-or-death duel.

Both sides agreed that they would rely on their own abilities and that no one would blame the other for any deaths or injuries.

This agreement was heard and witnessed by hundreds of people from various prominent families present!

Even the elder guard behind you heard it all clearly!
