Chapter 447: Chapter 123: Gaining Fame in a Single Battle! Top Ten True Disciples!

“Yuan Qianyu has been defeated!”

With an exclamation of astonishment.

The entire Inner Sect Hall fell into a brief silence.

Everyone stared at the blood-spitting Yuan Qianyu and the completely unharmed Luo Cheng, momentarily frozen in place, their faces full of incredulity.

What did they just witness!

Luo Cheng, who was only at the Early Stage of Awakening Vein Second Level, had injured Yuan Qianyu, who was at the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Fifth Layer, with just a single strike!

One strike!

Their cultivations were separated by three Great Realms!

This was no longer a simple victory over higher cultivation.

It was outright domination across realms!

And Luo Cheng had awakened a Wasted Martial Soul!

Even though they saw it with their own eyes, the crowd could hardly believe it!

The events unfolding before them were all too shocking, too unfathomable!

The Inner Sect disciples from the Crown Prince Hall exchanged apprehensive glances, staring at Luo Cheng with an involuntary sense of dread growing in their hearts!

Clang!

Returning his sword to its sheath, Luo Cheng looked at Yuan Qianyu:

“The outcome has been decided. Get out!”

He was not as exhilarated as the crowd over his ability to injure Yuan Qianyu with a single strike; he even felt a tinge of disappointment.

After all, this was his strongest sword strike, his trump card!

A representation of the peak of his combat strength!

Yet going all out resulted in only a slight advantage.

If Yuan Qianyu had been more cautious, injuring him would have been much harder.

“Cultivation is the true path. Everything else is just embellishment.”

Inwardly sighing, Luo Cheng resolved to fully focus on breaking through to the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm as soon as possible. With a solid cultivation foundation, he could think of other strategies afterward.

Cough!

“Good! Very good! Luo Cheng, I will remember this strike!”

Yuan Qianyu gazed coldly at Luo Cheng, spitting blood fiercely onto the ground.

His injuries were not severe; it was the Sword Qi laced with Sword Intent that had stirred his Essence Energy and blood.

But losing to Luo Cheng brought him immense shame, pushing him to the brink of madness, his desire to dismember Luo Cheng palpable!

Having no face to remain in the hall, Yuan Qianyu left behind harsh words and stormed out in disgrace.

“Haha, to defeat a strong cultivator at the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Fifth Layer while being only at the Early Stage of Awakening Vein Second Level! Luo Cheng, you truly amaze this old man!”

The Ninth Elder stepped forward, exclaiming in awe.

At this moment, he had only one word to describe Luo Cheng.

Monster!

A monster that filled people with unending dread!

Chen Lingyu and Lin Xiaoyun were equally thrilled, their blood boiling.

“Even the Inner Sect Elders were stunned just now! Luo Cheng, you’ve truly made a name for yourself today!”

Chen Lingyu’s charming face was flushed with excitement.

No matter what Luo Cheng’s future held, today’s achievement was already dazzling, surpassing the vast majority of cultivators!

After this battle, Luo Cheng’s name was sure to resound throughout the Inner Sect; he would no longer be a nameless newcomer to the Inner Sect!

Those who underestimated him would have to reassess their judgments!

Luo Cheng smiled faintly; fame did not concern him. If Yuan Qianyu hadn’t targeted Chen Lingyu, he wouldn’t have bothered dealing with him.

Shifting his gaze, Luo Cheng looked at Elder Zhang Shenshui. “Elder Zhang…”

He had barely spoken when Zhang Shenshui, smiling broadly, stepped forward holding a Jade Box in his hands and said:

“Luo Cheng, I hadn’t properly assessed the situation earlier. The reward for your first-place win in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition is ready.”

“Here are three Meridian Opening Pills!”

The sudden change in attitude made Luo Cheng pause briefly before quickly grasping the reason.

His current strength wasn’t enough to intimidate an Inner Sect Elder.

No doubt, it was his identity as the disciple of the Supreme Elder Qingkui that was at play.

“It’s easier to get things done with someone backing you…”

Luo Cheng sighed inwardly and accepted the Jade Box.

Still smiling, Zhang Shenshui continued:

“As for the Essence Energy Pills, they’ll be directly credited to your Identity Token. In addition to the reward of eight thousand Essence Energy Pills, I’ve personally added one thousand as an apology. As for Qingkui Supreme Elder…”

Luo Cheng did not intend to waste more time on this matter and simply replied coolly:

“No need to worry; let’s consider today’s incident resolved.”

Finishing his words, Luo Cheng turned and left the hall.

Watching Luo Cheng and the others leave, Zhang Shenshui’s expression immediately darkened.

An Inner Sect disciple from the Crown Prince Hall remarked, “Elder Zhang, didn’t the Eighth Prince say not to give these rewards to Luo Cheng?”

“What choice do I have? Should I offend Qingkui Supreme Elder for his sake?”

Having lost a thousand Essence Energy Pills for nothing, Zhang Shenshui’s mood was sour. Staring in the direction Luo Cheng had left, his gaze gleamed coldly as he muttered:

“He got the rewards, but let’s see how long he can remain arrogant!”

“Yuan Qianyu suffered a humiliating defeat today; he certainly won’t let this lie! His elder brother, Yuan Qingying, was defeated by Yun Mengli and lost his status as one of the Ten True Disciples long ago, harboring deep resentment! Since Luo Cheng is Yun Mengli’s ally, if Yuan Qingying finds out about this… Heh!”

Outside the Inner Sect Hall.

“Oh? Yuan Qianyu is Yuan Qingying’s younger brother?”

Through the Ninth Elder, Luo Cheng learned of this as well and immediately smirked enigmatically:

“So, as soon as I joined the Inner Sect, I managed to offend not only the Eighth Prince Jin Min but also two Ten True Disciples, Nangong Jue and Yuan Qingying!”

The Ninth Elder reassured him, “Rest assured; you’re now Qingkui Supreme Elder’s disciple. Even Yuan Qingying wouldn’t dare act rashly toward you. Besides, geniuses have their pride; he wouldn’t lower himself to trouble you. What you need to watch out for is Yuan Qianyu!”

Luo Cheng nodded, showing no sign of fear.

Yuan Qianyu or Yuan Qingying.

He had already antagonized the leader of the Crown Prince Hall, Nangong Jue, so why worry about adding a former True Disciple!

Stopping, Luo Cheng took out two Meridian Opening Pills and handed them to Chen Lingyu and Lin Xiaoyun, respectively.

The two accepted them, inwardly vowing to retreat into cultivation immediately upon returning, determined to break through to the Awakening Vein Realm!

The Ninth Elder laughed heartily. “Luo Cheng, I once said if you could make it to the top two in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, I’d reward you generously. I never imagined you’d clinch first place! Go ahead, tell me what reward you’d like!”

Recalling those words, Luo Cheng shook his head. “I appreciate your kindness, Ninth Elder; you’ve already helped me enough. There’s no need for a reward.”

“That won’t do! The words of this Elder cannot be retracted!”

The Ninth Elder shook his head and pondered aloud, “You likely don’t lack Essence Energy Pills at the moment. Let me go back and see if I have anything that might benefit you!”

Unable to refuse further, Luo Cheng nodded. “Very well.”

Taking his leave of the three, Luo Cheng headed toward Mengli Peak, contemplating his next steps for cultivation.

“My Sword Intent won’t progress much in the short term. First, I’ll stabilize my realm and then head to the Washing Body Pond. I wonder how much my strength will improve through training at the Washing Body Pond!”

He muttered to himself, anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

Green Eagle Peak!

This was the mountain under Yuan Qingying’s domain, formerly one of the Ten True Disciples.

Though Yuan Qingying had lost his True Disciple status after being defeated by Yun Mengli, the mountain remained under his control.

The towering Green Eagle Peak stretched endlessly into the sky.

Atop the mountain stood an imposing palace shaped like a soaring eagle.

Inside the palace.

Yuan Qianyu, his body stained with blood, gazed up apprehensively at the figure on high, whose sharp eyes radiated lightning-like intensity:

“Big brother…”
