The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Luo Qingcheng's current physical body is almost identical to that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Even with his dual spiritual roots of water and metal at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the inherent sharpness of metal, he still couldn't break through Luo Qingcheng's physical defenses.

Because Luo Qingcheng relentlessly tempered his spiritual power and physical body, forging the spiritual power and every inch of his flesh and blood into an inseparable bond.

The sword clashed with flesh, producing a striking sound like the sword striking iron!

Wu Hua was shocked!

He retreated swiftly into the mist, concealing himself once more.

Wu Hua never imagined that someone's spiritual power existed not in their meridians but in their flesh and blood. He was just wondering if Luo Qingcheng had any self-defense weapons.

"Junior Sister Luo, wouldn't it be unfair to us to use high-level defensive equipment in our competition?"

There's no way around it, Wu Hua is just the kind of person who likes to find things to talk about during competitions with others.

If he were to play a villain, he would inevitably die from talking too much.

Before Luo Qingcheng could reply.

A familiar voice came from behind, "No way, no way? He's only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he doesn't even complain about it being unfair to challenge a mortal, but he thinks it's unfair that the mortal is using a defensive weapon?"

Luo Qingcheng's eyes lit up.

This voice——

It's that mouth double from before!

Wu Hua wasn't one to care about saving face; he was only saying that to see if Luo Qingcheng would fall for it and put away the defensive weapon.

Although Luo Qingcheng didn't fall for it, it didn't mean he was helpless.

Defensive devices require spiritual energy to activate, and as everyone knows, Luo Qingcheng has no spiritual root, so he naturally cannot activate defensive devices. Defensive devices that use spirit stones for automatic defense can only be used a very limited number of times.

If he attacks a few more times, he'll eventually run out of attacks, and then Luo Qingcheng will still be his defeated opponent.

However, what happened next was beyond Wu Hua's expectations.

No matter how he attacked or from what angle, he couldn't harm Luo Qingcheng; instead, he was the one who was exhausted.

At first, Luo Qingcheng fought back and forth with him, but ever since Wu Hua started using the "Old Six" strategy of attacking and hiding, attacking and hiding again, and avoiding direct confrontation with Luo Qingcheng, Luo Qingcheng couldn't find him in the mist, so he simply gave up fighting and stood still, letting Wu Hua attack him.

Maintaining the water mist required a lot of spiritual power. Eventually, Wu Hua's spiritual power was exhausted, and the water mist dissipated. Luo Qingcheng held his sword in one hand and used the other hand to cover his open mouth as he yawned.

Still half-asleep, he asked, "Huh? Had enough?"

Wu Hua was furious.

The stand-in was still laughing non-stop.

This made Wu Hua even angrier.

The others laughed along with them.

Luo Qingcheng said seriously, "You've had enough, isn't it my turn?"

Exhausted of both spiritual and physical strength, Wu Hua stood still, trying to dodge Luo Qingcheng's attack but powerless to do so. In the end, Luo Qingcheng kicked him far away.

Just as Wu Hua was feeling dizzy and disoriented, Luo Qingcheng walked over, looked down at him, pointed his sword at Wu Hua's brow, and said, "I won."

He then left gracefully.

Wu Hua was internally weeping.

Now look what happened! Not only did they not use Luo Qingcheng as a stepping stone, but they were the ones who ended up using him as a stepping stone.

"If someone at the sixth level of Qi Refining can't even beat a mortal at full strength, if I were you, I'd want to crawl into a hole right now."

Mouth-swapping's offensive power is widely acknowledged.

After he said that, Wu Hua, who originally thought he was shameless, suddenly felt embarrassed.

He was eventually dragged back to the dormitory by his companions.

In contrast, Luo Qingcheng was warmly welcomed by a group of people.

Luo Qingcheng hugged Wanwan, who rushed into his arms, and said to Hu Muyu with a bright smile, "I won, Senior Sister Hu."

Hu Muyu had mixed feelings.

She was present when Zheng Li came to pick a fight with Luo Qingcheng, so she naturally knew that just a few days ago, Luo Qingcheng was a mortal who was almost killed by Zheng Li with a single sword strike. Now, in just a few days, she has been able to defeat a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining so beautifully.

For all the witnesses, it was as shocking as an ant easily defeating an elephant.

Because mortals are as powerless as ants before an elephant when they are in front of cultivators, even those who have just entered the Qi Refining stage.

Hu Muyu really wanted to know how Luo Qingcheng had managed to do it.

Luo Qingcheng said calmly, "If the choice is only to win or die, then it's equivalent to only being able to choose to win."

Hu Muyu only realized that she had inadvertently asked the question that was on her mind when she heard Luo Qingcheng's voice.

She recalled Luo Qingcheng's words: either win or die.

Hu Muyu seemed to understand something.

So it turns out she gave herself too many choices?

She possesses three spiritual roots: water generates wood, wood generates fire, but water counters fire. As a result, the three spiritual roots cannot coexist, and she cannot achieve a balance in her daily cultivation. The spiritual energy she absorbs cancels each other out, resulting in a waste of time without any effect.

In the end, even she gave up.

But did she really try to find a solution to the problem?

When Hu Muyu asked himself the question, the answer he finally got was no.

She felt sorry for herself and sometimes even envied her younger brother, who had an exceptional lightning spiritual root.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged and rushed towards Asato Muyu.

Luo Qingcheng couldn't see the spiritual energy, but she could feel the wind formed by it. Jianhu Muyu closed her eyes, and Luo Qingcheng silently stood beside her.

Ah, as expected of me, Feng Aotian.

One sentence made a woman realize something!

Regardless of what Luo Qingcheng was thinking, she maintained a cold expression and cautiously observed her fellow disciples who were gleaming with excitement.

Why are you always watching her like you can't get enough of the show?

They've already finished fighting, why don't they disperse?

The other disciples didn't care what Luo Qingcheng thought. They only saw that Luo Qingcheng not only easily defeated a fellow disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining with his mortal body, but also enlightened another disciple who had been a disciple for three years with just a few words.

You should know that sudden enlightenment is a rare thing for cultivators of average talent like them.

According to existing records, there are quite a few cultivators who have achieved enlightenment and advanced several levels in a row.

If they could achieve enlightenment just by talking to Luo Qingcheng, then from this moment on, they would wish to communicate with Luo Qingcheng properly until they could achieve enlightenment themselves.

So their eyes lit up with greed, and they stared at Luo Qingcheng like wolves eyeing meat.

Luo Qingcheng felt a chill run down his spine and hugged Wanwan in his arms to slightly alleviate the coldness emanating from her gaze.

Fortunately, these fellow disciples were quite sensible. No matter how excited they were, they didn't make a sound to disturb Hu Muyu. On the contrary, a few of them who knew formations even set up soundproof formations around Hu Muyu.

Seeing this, Luo Qingcheng relaxed a bit. After refusing several challenges, he took Wanwan and started practicing swordsmanship next to Hu Muyu.

The onlookers followed suit, imagining that Luo Qingcheng's strength came from sword practice, and began to practice swordsmanship as well.

The sword-training craze that arose because Luo Qingcheng, an ordinary person, passed the entrance exam gradually subsided, but it surged again because Luo Qingcheng successively defeated Zheng Li (rumored) and Wu Hua.

In a short time, the entire outer gate presented a thriving and prosperous situation.
