If it was Chu Tian, then so be it. He had always been known as a genius, but Li Qingshan was a school disciple they had mocked for a very long time. He was a clown that satisfied their sense of superiority. Perhaps it was because of the three of them, but no one treated him as a genius.
At this moment, reality told them that Li Qingshan was a true genius, a genius that could rival Chu Tian. Their mohist mockery was so foolish. Their sense of superiority immediately collapsed.
On the platform where the mohist disciples stood, Hao Pingyang patted Zhang Lanqing's shoulder. "I knew this kid had other tricks up his sleeve."
Zhang Lanqing smiled at ease as well. He had been worried for a very long time in the past three days. He Yishi stood in a corner of the platform and gazed at Li Qingshan on the Cloud Ridge Giant. All he felt was fear.
Yu Zijian praised, "So powerful!" Hua Chenglu said, "This guy really is something else. I knew it. With my insight, how could I be wrong?"
Wu Gen asked himself. Could he, an eighth layer Qi Practitioner, be the opponent of either one of them? He glanced at Qian Rongzhi. She had been smiling the entire time. She was neither worried nor surprised, as if she had predicted everything. This only added to her strange charm.
He had once believed himself to be a conqueror, but only now did he suddenly discover that he had been attracted by her strength. There was no confusion, no hesitation, and no laziness in her "strength".
Perhaps it was time for him to cast everything aside and focus on cultivation. Perhaps he needed to be like Li Qingshan and enter secluded cultivation for a while.
"Old Wang, what do you think?" Hwa Seung-zan looked back and smiled.
"Interesting, but it's still nowhere near enough!"
"Then let's see how it goes!"
Chu Tian and Li Qingshan's gazes clashed in the air above the Main Martial Arts stadium.
"So I've been watching you the entire time," Chu Tian said in some disbelief.
"Likewise. I'm very surprised that you can say that," Li Qingshan said calmly.
"But if you think you can defeat me like this, you're far too naive. What Cloud Ridge Giant? It's just a facade. Watch as my Earthen Strongman shatters it!"
Dong dong dong dong. The Earthen Divine Strongmen charged toward the Cloud Ridge Giant with heavy footsteps, like the beating of war drums.
Although the Grand Martial Arts Practice Field had the word 'big' in it, it was only relative to the size of a human. For these two enormous creatures, it was like a narrow arena, with no way to escape or dodge.
The giant fist was like ten thousand tons of earth and rocks pouring down from the top of the mountain. It smashed towards the Cloud Ridge Giant's head, or more accurately, Li Qingshan, who was next to the giant's head.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Li Qingshan smiled. He had noticed this a long time ago. Chu Tian did not know any fighting techniques. Just Just Now, if he was the one controlling the Earth Strongman, he would have already grabbed the cloud and wouldn't have been hit by the fist. When he punched out now, there was no pattern to it. It was purely the fighting style of an ordinary person.
Chu Tian could kill the vast majority of Qi Practitioners with his spells. There was no need for him to train his muscles and bones or learn any combat techniques. With the size of the Earthen Strongman. This kind of fighting style was enough.
But today was not enough.
The Cloud Ridge Giant tilted its head, and the Earthen Strongman's punch missed. A cloud pillar soared into the sky, and a vicious uppercut smashed the Earthen Strongman's jaw.
The Cloud Ridge Giant was too huge, and it only had a blurry humanoid shape. Its eyes and mouth were only three sunken nests. And no legs at all. It was just a long tail of clouds.
It was also impossible for Li Qingshan to use all of his martial arts, but as long as he recognized the form, he would be able to use it. After making a good judgment, boxing was enough to bully a layman like Chu Tian.
Taking advantage of the Earthen Strongman's loss of balance, the Cloud Ridge Giant floated forward and punched the Earthen Strongman's face. With a boom, the Earthen Strongman's nose was shattered.
If it was a human, this would have been painful, but the Earthen Strongman was not made of flesh and blood, so it did not know pain or dizziness. Under Chu Tian's control, it threw a punch at the Cloud Ridge Giant's chest.
With such a huge body, it was impossible for it to dodge. Li Qingshan did not have any intentions of dodging. The Cloud Ridge Giant welcomed the punch and continued to charge forward, sending the Earthen Strongman flying.
The Earthen Strongman's punch pierced through the Cloud Ridge Giant, creating a hole in it. Chu Tian laughed, "Die for me!"
What responded to him was a combination of punches. A left jab, a right hook, all in one go, forcing the Earthen Strongman back. Its face was already completely blurry.
Li Qingshan laughed and said, "Idiot."
Inheriting the water element's weakness in fighting, the Cloud Ridge Giant was not good at fighting. Its destructive power could not compare to the Earthen Strongman's. Even in terms of defense, it was different from the Earthen Strongman's defense. It was better at absorbing and dispersing damage.
Clouds surged over and filled up the hole in the blink of an eye. The weak Cloud Ridge Giant happened to counter the Earthen Strongman that won through brute force.
On the stands, everyone was stunned. They had never thought that Li Qingshan would gain the upper hand as soon as he did. He would be fine until now. He was not being arrogant by letting you attack three times. Was he really a disciple of his family?
"Hit him! Hit him! "Hua Chenglu called out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The Cloud Ridge Giant forced the Earthen Strongman to the edge of the stadium and swung its fists to its heart's content.
The Earthen Strongman retaliated desperately, but it was unable to break free from its predicament. Instead, it seemed weak and powerless.
The slovenly daoist priest laughed aloud. "Juechenzi, this is what they call using softness to overcome hardness. Interesting, interesting. What a pity, what a pity."
"Li Qingshan, you've truly angered me. You will pay the price!" Chu Tian's hands flashed as he formed seals again.
With a caw, a huge bird of fire unfurled its wings and rushed into the air, lunging towards the Cloud Ridge Giant.
It was even larger than the one Just Now. Chu Tian rode on the bird's back. The flames dyed him scarlet-red as tongues of fire revolved around him. At that moment, no one cared about his lack of handsomeness. He seemed like a god that could control fire.
Liu Changqing stroked his beard and smiled. Just this move was enough to vaporize the Cloud Ridge Giant completely.
At this moment, a dragon's roar drowned out the caw. A water dragon stabbed over and bit the bird's neck.
The dragon's horns, scales, claws, and teeth were all formed from flowing water.
Waterfall Dragon.
This was the most destructive technique Li Qingshan had grasped so far.
The water dragon bit the fire bird and rushed into the sky, slamming heavily against the screen of light. The screen seemed to shake.
Chu Tian looked down in shock and saw Li Qingshan standing between the dragon's horns. The azure water swirled around his robe, but he wasn't wet at all. He wore a faint smile on his face, as if he were laughing at his powerlessness.
Chu Tian gritted his teeth and roared inwardly, "How dare you laugh at me! How dare you, a mere mortal, laugh at me! I'm a Celestial!"
Flames rose from the fire bird's body as it pecked the dragon's head, breaking its horns. Its two claws tore through the dragon's scales. The water that contained the water dragon's life force poured down, but was evaporated before it could reach the ground.
The waterfall dragon coiled around the fire bird and pierced its claws deep into its body. Feathers fell from the sky and turned to ashes.
With a sizzling sound, a large cloud of steam spread out. On the ground, the Cloud Ridge Giant and the Earthen Strongman were still waving their fists.
Many of the Qi Practitioners on the spectator stands had their mouths wide open, as if they had been struck dumb. It was as if they were on a primordial battlefield. In the sky, divine beasts rode on water and fire, while on the ground, giants fought endlessly with spears in their hands.
There were also many people who clenched their fists and made up their minds to focus on cultivation.
Qi Practitioners of this era rarely got to see battles between cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage. This kind of battle was a huge blow to their minds.
Liu Changqing looked around the spectator stands and saw everyone's expressions. No matter who won or lost, this battle was a good thing for the Hundred Schools of Thought. It would allow the disciples, who were used to peace, to see what a real battle of magical power was like.
It seemed that he needed to hold more duels like this in the future. Based on the information he had recently received, he could vaguely smell the scent of war.
The outcome of this battle had been obvious from the beginning. It all depended on when Chu Tian would give up on his meaningless arrogance.
As the dragon and the bird fought, Li Qingshan and Chu Tian were closer than ever. They could clearly see the anger and smiles on each other's faces.
"Li Qingshan!" Chu Tian roared as he charged toward Li Qingshan on the back of the bird. Five-colored true energy appeared around him, forming a giant five-colored hand that slammed down toward Li Qingshan.
"Palm of the Five Elements!"
Li Qingshan stood on the dragon's head and rushed into the air. The true energy in his sea of qi surged, fusing it all into the punch. Like a tsunami, he punched out.
Liu Changqing said, "The outcome has been determined."
The fist and palm collided, and the water dispersed.
At this moment, the water dragon that was locked in a stalemate with the fire bird dispersed as well, evaporating into surging steam.
Although the Cloud Ridge Giant had gained the upper hand in close combat with the Earthen Strongman, dispersing most of the Earthen Strongman, its body had been greatly depleted. Both of them were only around ten or twenty feet tall. They could no longer attract attention, much less decide the outcome of the battle.
All everyone saw was Li Qingshan rapidly fall down, plunging into the mist and vanishing.
Li Qingshan had lost. His full-powered punch could not stop Chu Tian's cultivation method, the Palm of the Five Elements.
Hua Chenglu suddenly felt sad. Indeed, no matter how hard ordinary people worked, they could never defeat a genius, let alone a Reincarnated Celestial like Chu Tian.
Many Qi Practitioners on the other platforms felt gloomy as well. They had originally come to watch Li Qingshan make a fool of himself, but when Li Qingshan truly demonstrated the strength to take on Chu Tian, they subconsciously leaned towards Li Qingshan.
This was because Li Qingshan was a "weakling". Compared to Chu Tian, he was a "mortal" like them. They wanted to see a mortal defeat a genius, just like how ordinary people always looked forward to miracles.
Chu Tian descended from the sky and used the Five Element Palm Seal to shatter the Cloud Ridge Giant. He looked around and gave a cold laugh in his heart, "Truly an idiot, daring to scold me. Facing my Five Element Palm Seal head on, you're probably half dead by now!" You've actually reduced me to such a horrible state. Watch as I take your life with a single palm strike.
Hua Chenglu stood up and arrived on the platform where Han Anjun stood. "Uncle Han, please decide the outcome!"
However, Han Anjun, who had always been unsmiling and as cold as a rock, curled his lips slightly. "The outcome has been determined."
