Not just the Outer Sect disciples, even the elders present were dumbstruck as they watched Luo Cheng move as if walking through an empty battlefield.
This included the Fifth Elder, who had a favorable impression of Luo Cheng.
The Fifth Elder indeed had certain expectations for Luo Cheng, believing that his willingness to proactively challenge others must co with so level of confidence and that he wouldn’t crumble in an instant.
But his approval only went so far—he never imagined that Luo Cheng could persist against such overwhelming numbers, let alone sweep through them all!
The Fifth Elder even started to question whether his own eyes were deceiving him.
Standing nearby, the Seventh Elder took a deep breath and exclaid in amazent:
"We truly misjudged him this ti. This reminds of Yun ngli when she first broke through to the Tongxuan Realm..."
The Fifth Elder nodded and, looking at Luo Cheng, said, "I’m beginning to wonder if this is his true strength."
At those words, soone imdiately objected: "Fifth Elder, are you saying this isn’t Luo Cheng’s combat limit? That’s impossible!"
The Fifth Elder remained silent.
This was rely his instinct.
Even though that instinct seed a bit absurd, even to him.
Elsewhere, Qin Douyuan’s face was sullen. He had been anticipating the scene of Luo Cheng being overwheld and killed by the many mbers of the Crown Prince Hall. However, the outco was utterly contrary to his desires. He let out a cold snort and said:
"Being strong now does not an he will remain strong in the future! Awakening a Wasted Martial Soul seals his fate—his path in Martial Arts is dood to be short-lived. It’s just a fleeting bloom at best!"
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder and others revealed expressions of pity and regret.
The importance of a Martial Soul is known to all.
If Luo Cheng had been entirely diocre, it wouldn’t have mattered. But for soone displaying such remarkable talent and brilliance, only to have his future shrouded in darkness, how could they not lant?
On the stage.
The brutal combat continued.
"This brat is only at the Middle Stage of the First Layer of the Tongxuan Realm; he definitely won’t last much longer. Everyone, attack together! Don’t stop!"
"Exactly! We have so many people; don’t give him even a mont to breathe! Let’s see if he survives this!"
"Daring to offend our Crown Prince Hall—he’s on a path of certain death!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Luo Cheng’s imnse strength only served to infla the Crown Prince Hall disciples further. One by one, their eyes reddened, their montum surged, and they rushed at Luo Cheng, unleashing bursts of powerful Qi Force.
As the crowd charged toward him, Luo Cheng’s face remained impassive.
The disparity in strength was already vast, and with the Purple-Blue Soft Armor protecting him, these people—no matter how nurous—could no longer pose any threat to him.
In Luo Cheng’s eyes, these attackers were nothing more than walking sources of wealth!
"Co!"
A faint smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as Luo Cheng gripped his sword and threw himself into the crowd, slashing horizontally in one swift motion.
Boom!
A terrifying blade of sword energy tore through the air, imdiately sending several Crown Prince Hall disciples flying back, coughing up blood and losing their ability to fight.
Thirty people!
Forty people!
Sixty people!
Eighty people!
Ninety people!
Luo Cheng’s dominance was unstoppable. Whether it was a Middle Stage Tongxuan Realm Second Layer martial artist or a Peak Second Layer martial artist, none could endure more than two moves against him!
In just monts, over ninety Crown Prince Hall disciples had been defeated, sprawled across the ground in disarray, wailing in agony.
At the sa ti, Luo Cheng’s wealth expanded at a geotric rate.
These mbers of the Crown Prince Hall were either extrely wealthy, highly talented, or both. Even the poorest among them had assets worth at least one to two million taels, which Luo Cheng plundered like a hurricane, stowing it all in the storage rings he had seized.
By now, the number of Crown Prince Hall disciples who could still stand on the stage had dwindled to fewer than ten.
"This Luo Cheng is terrifying. Beneath the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, he is unmatched! Run!"
The few remaining Crown Prince Hall disciples were utterly terrified. A man and a woman standing on the edge of the arena looked at each other in panic before leaping off the stage in desperation.
As her feet hit the ground, the female disciple glanced back. Her eyes widened in shock.
In the blink of an eye, the only figure left standing on the stage was Luo Cheng, his icy stare sending chills down her spine.
"Run!"
The female disciple’s expression changed drastically. Terrified that Luo Cheng might continue his attacks, she fled frantically toward Qi Guyun and the others.
"Pretty quick on your feet!"
Watching the two fleeing figures, Luo Cheng sneered but showed no intention of giving chase.
On the stage, he could attack without restraint.
If he pursued them off the stage, however, he would be violating Sect Rules.
The cunning Tongxuan Third Layer masters of the Crown Prince Hall would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to strike.
At his current strength, he could dominate all martial artists beneath the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm.
But when it ca to facing a Third Layer master, the outco was uncertain.
Not to ntion, people like Ren Xiaoguang weren’t ordinary Tongxuan Third Layer fighters!
Qi Guyun, even more so, was the strongest among the Outer Sect.
For now, Luo Cheng couldn’t disregard him.
Of course, this situation wouldn’t last for long.
"As soon as I perfect the nine Essence Energy Vortices, I’ll be ready to break through to the Second Layer of the Tongxuan Realm!"
Retracting his gaze, Luo Cheng resud looting the treasures of the recently fallen Crown Prince Hall disciples.
The Martial Arts Square was dead silent.
Yuan Zhilan opened her mouth but found no words to say.
A Middle Stage Tongxuan First Layer martial artist had swept through over a hundred Tongxuan Second Layer Crown Prince Hall disciples!
Such an achievent was beyond her ntal capacity to process—beyond her imagination!
The spectators were similarly numb, their internal shock indescribable.
Soone sighed emotionally: "Single-handedly, he challenged over a hundred opponents and triumphed! Beneath the Tongxuan Third Layer, Luo Cheng is an invincible force!"
The Outer Sect of the Xuanyuan Sect boasted over 100,000 disciples, with countless geniuses!
Aside from Qi Guyun, who would dare lay claim to the word ’invincible’?
Even being called invincible within one’s tier was regarded as sheer arrogance or madness!
In this mont, claiming Luo Cheng as invincible beneath the Tongxuan Third Layer drew no objections.
The evidence was irrefutable.
"What a pity his Realm is too low. If he could advance to the Tongxuan Third Layer, he’d surely claim a spot in the top hundred during this Outer Sect competition."
"Not necessarily. He’s likely had so fateful opportunity that allowed him to cultivate up to the Golden Body Realm, resulting in this kind of strength. But the higher his cultivation, the more crucial a Martial Soul becos. Tongxuan Third Layer martial artists can open the Divine Power Heavenly Gate and connect with the heavens and earth through their Martial Soul! By then, the flaws of his Wasted Martial Soul will beco glaringly obvious, and he will quickly fade into obscurity."
"That’s true."
"Either way, he’s made a na for himself today!"
The crowd buzzed with chatter, many marveling at Luo Cheng’s power in awe and amazent.
However, no one expressed optimism about Luo Cheng’s future.
Even those who had awakened Advanced or Super Martial Souls didn’t always manage to beco top-tier powerhouses.
As for soone who had awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, no one had ever seen or even heard of such a person climbing to the pinnacle of power.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the crowd discussed, two Crown Prince Hall disciples arrived at Qi Guyun and the others’ side.
Only at this mont did the two of them exhale deeply.
Unknowingly, cold sweat had soaked through their entire bodies, as if they had just returned from the brink of death.
Looking back at Luo Cheng on the stage, the female disciple’s face was pale: "Luo Cheng hid his strength so well. He doesn’t seem even remotely exhausted..."
The other disciple said angrily, "Indeed! This man absolutely did it on purpose. He’s scheming to rob us of our wealth! Despicable! Simply despicable!"
Ren Xiaoguang’s expression was ashen.
By now, how could he not understand? Everything Luo Cheng had done earlier had been an act. And he had fallen for it completely!
He’d been utterly played like a fool!
Bang!
Roiling rage and humiliation drove Ren Xiaoguang into a frenzy. With a single step, he stord onto the stage, bellowing:
"You’ve gone too far, brat! Let teach you a lesson about respect!"
Boom!
As he spoke, Ren Xiaoguang unleashed a fearso palm strike toward Luo Cheng!
