On the White Cloud Lake, everyone was dumbfounded.

Originally,

they thought they understood Shi Potian's arrogance. But with those words, they realized they were gravely mistaken. This person was even more arrogant than they imagined!

He dared to challenge the five prodigies of the Celestial Peak Country with his own strength.

"Come on!"

"I don't know if the five of you together have the right to make me draw my sword!"

Shi Potian rested one hand behind his back and slightly raised the other.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Xinyu and the others were furious.

Although Shi Potian was incredibly powerful, they were also renowned experts in the Celestial Peak Country. Being belittled was an immense humiliation.

If they didn't trample this arrogant man, Celestial Peak Country would become a laughingstock across the entire Cyan Continent.

"Attack!"

A burst of angry shouts erupted.

The crowd of young geniuses attacked in unison.

Clang!

Zuo Xinyu was the first to act, drawing his long sword with a flourish.

His figure flickered, suddenly leaping into the air. In an instant, everyone felt afterimages flash by. Zuo Xinyu in mid-air transformed into sixteen figures, each wielding a sharp sword, forming a surrounding force, and charged towards Shi Potian.

"Light Splitting Illusionary Shadow Sword!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the move, leading to an outburst of gasps.

This was known as a Profound Grade Top sword technique. When mastered, it could transform into nine figures. Yet Zuo Xinyu had broken this limit, instantly transforming into sixteen, the true and false blending, as unpredictable as ghosts and gods.

"Hmph!"

Shen Wanjun snorted coldly, evidently provoked by Shi Potian's words.

With both hands clenched, a gigantic iron rod appeared in his grip. The iron rod surged forth like a Divine Dragon wagging its tail, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind. Wherever it passed, even space itself trembled.

Such a powerful strike could topple a small mountain.

Clang!

Duanmu Chengfei launched his assault with great momentum.

In the night sky, a brilliant blade light emerged, dazzling like a blazing flame, shining so brightly it was impossible to look at directly. Like a phoenix spreading its wings under the scorching sun.

The blade light, emanating tremendous power, followed with swift precision, cutting through space to strike Shi Potian.

The remaining Duan Yuan and Lingkong also joined the fray.

In an instant,

the top five bronze-tier warriors of the previous generation from Celestial Peak Country attacked in unison. The sheer power was terrifying, instantly shrouding the sky over White Cloud Lake. The flashing blades and swords dazzled the spectators.

Yet,

faced with the assault from these experts, Shi Potian instead laughed heartily, stepping forward instead of retreating.

"Get lost!"

With a swipe of his right hand, as nimble as a Spiritual Snake, he slashed through the air towards the pervasive afterimages.

Where his claw awed, everything was torn apart.

"Screech!"

A piercing tearing sound rang out.

With Shi Potian's grasp, the sixteen afterimages shattered instantly.

"Ah!"

Zuo Xinyu let out a miserable cry, falling from the air. Everyone gasped, seeing five wounds on Zuo Xinyu's chest, as if ripped by a sharp blade, bleeding profusely, bone-deep.

Before anyone could react in shock,

Shi Potian, after shattering Zuo Xinyu's Light Splitting Illusionary Shadow Sword, clenched his fist and struck directly. The punch, profound and mighty like a mountain collapsing, collided with Shen Wanjun's incoming massive club.

"Clang!"

A booming sound resonated like a grand bell, nearly rupturing the eardrums of everyone present.

Shi Potian, through physical might alone, endured Shen Wanjun's strike. Moreover, under the astonished gaze of the crowd, Shen Wanjun was forced to spit blood from the terrifying power, his feet skimming along the lake surface, retreating several hundred meters, raising a mighty white wave.

Yet Shi Potian showed not a hint of restraint.

Confronting Duanmu Chengfei's fiery blade, he thrust two fingers, striking forward like a sword.

A streak of sword light shot forth, tearing through the void, and pierced through the sweeping blade energy, instantly reaching Duanmu Chengfei.

"Not good!"

Duanmu Chengfei's complexion changed drastically.

He tried to withdraw his blade, already too late.

"Pffft!"

Blood splattered.

Duanmu Chengfei's shoulder was directly pierced by that gesture.

By this time,

Lingkong and Duan Yuan's assault arrived as well.

Facing the joint attack of the strongest two from the previous generation's bronze-tier, Shi Potian laughed loudly, thrusting his palms forward fiercely.

WHOOSH!

Then they saw it.

The lake water was suddenly stirred by an overwhelming force, transforming into two giant hands, reaching out towards the two of them. Although the water hands were formed from the soft lake waters, they were infused with Shi Potian's powerful True Qi, rendering them unbelievably solid.

"Break!"

Lingkong held a sword in his right hand, while Duan Yuan held a spear with both hands.

Immediately.

The two turned into streaks of light, blasting towards the terrifying hands.

BANG!

A shattering sound resounded.

Only to see.

The giant hands suddenly exploded, turning into a torrential downpour, crashing down.

But before the two could feel any excitement, a swift gust of wind rushed towards them, almost instantaneously reaching right in front of them. That figure was no other than Shi Potian.

As he reached them, Shi Potian's hands surged forth like dragons emerging from the sea, tearing through the void, and swiftly attacking.

"Not good!"

Seeing this scene.

Lingkong and Duan Yuan hesitated not even a moment, their toes tapped the ground as they shot backwards rapidly. But no matter how fast they were, how could they match Shi Potian?

In the incredulous eyes of the onlookers.

THUD! THUD!

Both fists hit them squarely.

On the spot.

Lingkong and Duan Yuan lost their balance, akin to cannonballs, being knocked back, and crashed into White Cloud Lake, sending two towering waves soaring high.

Silence engulfed the scene, a pin drop could be heard.

The crowd was almost popping their eyes out, finding it hard to believe everything they saw.

Shi Potian had effortlessly broken through the combined attack of the previous generation's five bronze list experts. And judging by his nonchalant demeanor, he clearly hadn't used his full strength.

"Hisssss!"

Snapping back to reality.

The crowd collectively gasped.

How could Shi Potian be so formidable? Just by himself, he had suppressed all the prodigies of Celestial Peak Country to the point they couldn't lift their heads.

"Haha, I've said all along, your Celestial Peak Country's prodigies are nothing special!"

"What bronze list? Still the previous generation's experts, yet they can't withstand even a casual strike from our Senior Brother Shi... If there are no stronger ones, hurry up and get lost!"

"When we call you trash, you don't believe it. Now what else can you say?"

Several Spirit Coffin Sect disciples laughed heartily, mocking without mercy.

Hearing these mocking remarks.

The crowd's faces turned red with both shame and rage.

Enraged that these Spirit Coffin Sect disciples were so sarcastic, seemingly tearing their country's dignity to shreds and stomping it into the ground.

Embarrassed that in the vast Celestial Peak Country, not a single youth could contend with Shi Potian.

Above White Cloud Lake.

Shi Potian, devoid of joy or sorrow, for others, the combined power of these five was enough to shake the heavens and the earth. But to him, it was merely child's play, solvable with a wave of his sleeve, his indifferent voice echoed across the scene:

"Ye Qingchen, it's your turn to step up!"

"Earlier, you said you only used twenty percent of your strength; now let me see what your full power really is!"

Inside the manor, silence reigned.

No one had expected.

That after defeating Duan Yuan, Lingkong, and the others, Shi Potian would still challenge Ye Qingchen in public.

However.

Many had already started shaking their heads secretly.

Though Ye Qingchen had been deemed invincible among his peers, that was only within Cyan Continent. Shi Potian, with his overwhelming aura, had descended upon them, displaying unmatched dominance, trampling Duan Yuan and Lingkong with ease; his terrifying strength, even Ye Qingchen wouldn't be his match.

Some, going further, sneered:

"That Ye Qingchen, likely seeing this scene, wouldn't dare to come out, would he?"

"After all, no matter how strong Ye Qingchen is, he can't shake this terrifying existence! By now, he's probably hiding like a turtle!"

Just as this thought crossed everyone's mind.

Suddenly.

A calm voice rose up:

"You want to challenge me?"

SWISH!

At this moment.

All eyes turned simultaneously.

To see a young man in a blue robe, with a long sword behind him, rising from his seat.
