As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar erupted throughout the venue.
Su Miaoyu’s gaze remained fixed on Long Chen. This guy had only been a Second-class Disciple for a short time, yet he dared to challenge all top ten powerhouses of the Spirit List at once? Thinking of this, her brows furrowed deeply. She found Long Chen more and more unfathomable.
"Senior Sister Su, in my opinion, this kid is just delusional!" the underling sitting next to Su Miaoyu said, intentionally belittling Long Chen while fawning over her. "Even you, with your Emperor Meridans, couldn’t do this back then, so what makes him think he can? It’s simply impossible!"
Su Miaoyu remained silent, a thought crossing her mind. Long Chen, if you are still relying on Elixir Pills to forcibly enhance your Realm to challenge the Spirit List, then you will have truly disappointed me. That said, I almost hope you do use them. That way, even if you manage to win this battle, it won’t be through your own true strength. A Long Chen like that poses no threat to me.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the nine experts on the Spirit List turned grim.
"What arrogance!"
"Kid, I want to see if you can actually back that up!"
"Take this!"
The eighth-ranked powerhouse on the Spirit List suddenly leaped forward, launching a punch straight at Long Chen’s face.
Seeing this, Long Chen stood his ground, motionless. Only when his opponent’s attack was about to land did he finally make his move.
The face of the Spirit List’s eighth-ranked fighter suddenly stiffened. His punch had been brought to a dead halt, firmly gripped in Long Chen’s hand.
Long Chen twisted with force.
A crisp snap echoed from the opponent’s wrist, and his face contorted in pain. Following that, Long Chen delivered a kick to his abdomen. The man felt bile rise in his throat as he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The entire exchange took no more than three seconds.
The crowd was stunned. Their perception of Long Chen had completely changed. They had originally thought that simply making it into the top ten of the Spirit List was an incredible feat for him. They had clearly underestimated him.
"Attack together!" the fifth-ranked expert on the Spirit List shouted, leading the others in an assault on Long Chen from all directions.
Long Chen simply took a step forward.
A terrifying ripple of energy suddenly swept out from him as the epicenter.
BOOM!
A powerful Qi Force swept through, and the shockwave stopped the advancing cultivators in their tracks.
Long Chen then threw a punch.
In an instant, a massive Fist Shadow materialized, hurtling toward them with an unstoppable, crushing force.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
In the next second, the cultivators who had just appeared so mighty and awe-inspiring were sent flying like kites with their strings cut. They crashed to the ground in a pitiful state, violently coughing up blood.
In the blink of an eye, only Long Chen and the top three powerhouses of the Spirit List remained standing.
Having witnessed Long Chen’s skill and strength, Zhang Changyuan and the other two narrowed their eyes. They felt an intensely strong sense of threat emanating from him.
"Boy, you truly are full of surprises," Zhang Changyuan said, staring coldly at Long Chen with a newfound wariness in his eyes.
"Only the three of you are left," Long Chen said bluntly. "Enough talk. Let’s make this quick. Don’t waste time."
