Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

"Xiao Fan is only a freshman who has been in the inner academy for half a year, right? Is he really that terrifying?"

"If I remember correctly, Xiao Fan's strength is only seven-star Dou Ling, right? You have to know that Liu Qing is a peak Dou Ling, and he has one foot in Dou Wang."

......

Everyone was talking at once, and all their conversations revolved around Xiao Fan.

Even Xiao Yan, who was sitting in the corner of the stands, was filled with amazement.

Yes, Xiao Yan was not at all surprised that his senior brother could display such strength. In fact, he knew that his senior brother was definitely holding back.

After all, my senior brother had used the technique of fusing two different flames together.

"My senior brother's combat power is truly terrifying..."

Xiao Yan looked at the arena, which was still being impacted by various energy fluctuations. He couldn't see anything inside it at the moment and muttered to himself.

Even Xun'er, who was sitting next to Xiao Yan, showed a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes at this moment.

A glint of gold flashed in her eyes, and then she saw through everything in the stands.

This time, several minutes passed.

The scene within the formation then came into view.

Upon seeing the scene inside, everyone gasped again.

Then, with a look of shock and admiration, he looked at Xiao Fan, who was still standing in the arena.

The once enormous arena, which had been set up by the Grand Elder with a wave of his hand, was now mostly destroyed.

Moreover, it left a deep pit on the ground, which was more than ten feet in size.

Liu Qing, however, no longer possessed the domineering demeanor he had before.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and his hands, body, and patches of charred skin were visible to everyone.

His long hair had completely turned to ashes, leaving him with only a huge bald head, which looked somewhat comical under everyone's gaze.

"Is...is this really Liu Qing?"

Many people's faces twitched as they looked at the enormous bald head in the center of the arena.

When has Liu Qing, who has always been seen as domineering and powerful, ever shown such a disheveled state?

"Cousin...cousin..."

On the stands, Liu Fei stared at Liu Qing, who was lying face up on the ground, her face pale, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She covered her mouth with both hands, and large tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed silently.

Perhaps after this blow, the towering image of Liu Qing in her heart will crumble. Who knows if she will wake up from this setback?

Or perhaps, they remain immersed in their own world, clinging to their spoiled and arrogant ways.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Qing was lying on the ground.

At this moment, my whole body is filled with an indescribable soreness.

He coughed twice, successfully pulling the stunned crowd back to their senses.

"I never expected that I would underestimate you."

Liu Qing looked at Xiao Fan, who was still standing opposite him, and shook his head with a wry smile.

For the first time, I felt a lack of self-confidence. Even if I failed when facing Lin Xiuya, I wouldn't be this pathetic, would I?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan, a freshman who had just entered the inner academy, was defeated by him.

"I always thought that my only opponent was Lin Xiuya."

Liu Qing looked at Xiao Fan and said calmly, "I've been cultivating desperately, all for the sake of defeating Lin Xiuya in the Strong Ranking Competition. I never expected that I would be defeated by you before even meeting Lin Xiuya..."

Liu Qing's tone was somewhat wistful, then he shook his head and said helplessly, "I wonder who will win if you and Lin Xiuya face off?"

After a pause, Liu Qing's lips trembled slightly before he finally spoke, "I... admit defeat."

As Liu Qing finished speaking...

The entire venue fell into complete silence.

Only then did everyone realize that everything that had just happened was real.
