Chen Qingyuan took the cosmos bag and sent a wisp of spiritual sense into it, feeling slightly surprised.
There were thousands of top - quality spirit stones, over a hundred thousand high - quality spirit stones, and so on.
This guy is quite wealthy!
Chen Qingyuan's eyes sparkled. It was a huge profit!
Wang Qing's background must be extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a large fortune.
The Fuliu Star Field is indeed rather remote compared to those who live in the central area of the Northern Wilderness.
To be honest, when Wang Qing threw out all his belongings, it was quite painful for him. However, for the chance to enter the school, the price was worth it.
"Very sincere," Chen Qingyuan said as he put away the cosmos bag and spoke seriously, "Your Excellency wants to fight me to prove yourself worthy and enter the Dao - Yi School Palace, right?"
"Yes," Wang Qing thought for a moment and nodded.
"Since it's to prove yourself, you must perform excellently. Therefore, a battle at the same realm can truly show who is stronger," Chen Qingyuan dug a hole for Wang Qing by imposing this condition.
Wang Qing is a Nascent Soul - stage cultivator, while Chen Qingyuan has just entered the Golden Core Realm. If Chen Qingyuan doesn't expose the foundation of his Saint - grade Golden Core, he won't be Wang Qing's opponent.
However, a battle at the same realm would be much easier to handle.
"As you wish," Wang Qing said.
In front of everyone, Wang Qing cared about his reputation and didn't dare to use his cultivation level to oppress Chen Qingyuan. Moreover, he feared that if he won by relying on his cultivation advantage, Chen Qingyuan might renege.
"Truly a contemporary prodigy, so magnanimous!" Chen Qingyuan praised with a smile.
This guy is so stupid! You achieved a high cultivation level through your own cultivation. Why agree to a battle at the same realm?
Chen Qingyuan praised him outwardly, but inwardly thought the man was rather foolish.
The cultivation world is cruel, with people dying every moment. The simple - minded have little chance of reaching the end, and even living a peaceful life is a luxury.
"Oh no, he's been tricked," the lecturers in secret were speechless about Wang Qing's action. This isn't a friendly spar; why agree to a battle at the same realm? Such an act is giving the opponent an opportunity; it's extremely stupid.
"It seems the Wang family has coddled him too much. After hundreds of years of cultivation, he still acts like a novice, unaware of the world's perils."
Many in the school palace shook their heads secretly. This battle was no longer worth watching.
"If he relied on his cultivation advantage, Wang Qing might have a chance to hold his head high, but now it's uncertain."
Probably because Wang Qing was too eager to prove himself that he didn't reject Chen Qingyuan's proposal.
Zhao Yichuan also wanted to watch the fun, so he waved his hand and created an arena in the void for the two to spar.
The arena was vast, like a small spatial world.
"Come on!" Chen Qingyuan released the aura of the early - stage Golden Core Realm and took a fighting stance.
Wang Qing, being an honest person, really suppressed his cultivation level.
Then, Wang Qing turned into a stream of light and quickly reached Chen Qingyuan, throwing a punch.
Chen Qingyuan immediately dodged and pointed a finger, hitting Wang Qing's side.
"Boom!"
Wang Qing was repelled by a single finger, and a blood hole appeared on his shoulder.
With just one probing move, Wang Qing was at a disadvantage, which he found unbelievable.
They both had the cultivation level of the early - stage Golden Core Realm. Why was the strength disparity so obvious?
"Reveal!"
Without time to think, Wang Qing directly manifested his Golden Core foundation, planning to fight with all his strength.
A dazzling golden - core light emerged behind him, like a scorching sun descending to the earth, and the laws on it were clearly the patterns of a Heaven - grade Golden Core.
Being qualified to participate in the Dao - Yi School Palace's assessment, Wang Qing naturally had high talent.
A Heaven - grade Golden Core already surpasses countless cultivators in the world.
Immediately, Chen Qingyuan also displayed the vision of a Heaven - grade Golden Core and engaged in close - combat with Wang Qing.
With the jade bracelet given by the girl in the red dress, Chen Qingyuan concealed his true physical condition, which even the top - level powerhouses in the world couldn't detect.
After dozens of moves, Wang Qing found a suitable opportunity and used a divine ability.
The Taixuan Cangshan Seal!
Wang Qing slapped out with one palm, and a Dao pattern appeared in his palm, depicting a mountain. After activating the Dao technique, the palm - seal projection appeared in the void, fusing with the vision of the Heaven - grade Golden Core, like a ten - thousand - meter - high mountain crashing towards Chen Qingyuan.
The huge mountain fell rapidly, leaving Chen Qingyuan with no place to hide.
In an instant, the space around Chen Qingyuan darkened, and terrifying pressure hit his soul.
"I wanted to play with you for a while, but you're in such a hurry," Chen Qingyuan thought to himself, deciding to stop playing around and get serious.
On the surface, Chen Qingyuan had the foundation of a Heaven - grade Golden Core, but in fact, he had the Three - Pill Saint - grade. Even without using the vision of the Three - Pill Saint - grade, he could exert power far beyond the Heaven - grade level.
With a solid foundation, the power of the Dao techniques he cast would also be enhanced. Additionally, various physical functions were greatly improved, including the utilization rate of spiritual energy, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and higher comprehension.
"Break!"
Chen Qingyuan's right hand formed a sword with his fingers and thrust it upwards.
Swish!
With a single astonishing sword strike, he directly shattered the Taixuan Cangshan Seal.
Wang Qing suffered from the backlash of the Dao technique, staggered back several steps, and his qi and blood surged within his body.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Qingyuan moved like a ghost to Wang Qing's front, and an invisible sword pointed at the space between his eyebrows.
Everything happened so quickly that Wang Qing had no time to think or dodge.
"I...I lost," Wang Qing felt the cold sword intent between his eyebrows. Although reluctant, he bowed his head and admitted defeat.
Chen Qingyuan relaxed his right hand, and the three - foot - long sword he had condensed dissipated.
He gave Wang Qing a smile and then left the arena.
After this battle, those who were dissatisfied with Chen Qingyuan fell silent. Being able to be exceptionally admitted as a disciple by the Dao - Yi School Palace, he was indeed no ordinary person.
Everyone was very surprised. They thought it would be a fierce battle, but it ended so quickly. They looked at Chen Qingyuan with wariness and an unconcealed look of astonishment.
"Is there anyone else who wants to give it a try?"
If there was money to be made, Chen Qingyuan definitely wanted to have a few more fights. He looked at the group of failed candidates with a smile.
Everyone remained silent, not daring to step forward to fight Chen Qingyuan.
"If we don't have to fight at the same realm, I would be willing to give it a try," someone in the crowd said.
"No way. You are trying to prove that you are not weaker than others. How could you take advantage of your cultivation level?" Chen Qingyuan immediately rejected the proposal.
Letting you bully me with your Nascent Soul - realm cultivation? What's the point?
Although Chen Qingyuan's current cultivation level was indeed lower than that of everyone present, after the previous battle, no one dared to underestimate him.
Wang Qing, who had returned to the crowd, kept looking at Chen Qingyuan, without hatred but only reluctance. If he met Chen Qingyuan again in the future, he would definitely have another fight.
Until now, Wang Qing didn't know why he had lost. Clearly, both sides had the same cultivation level. Why did he lose so easily?
Wang Qing didn't understand, and neither did the people present, including the old - timers from the school palace.
"This little guy is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface," Zhao Yichuan observed Chen Qingyuan for a few moments and thought to himself.
