Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

In the ensuing battles, Li Guanqi's performance did not impress the disciples with his strength.

Instead, they witnessed a display that could only be described as…

Despicable, unscrupulous, shameless, underhanded, and employing every means possible… a brazenly audacious fight.

Nevertheless, Li Guanqi accomplished the feat of taking on ten opponents single-handedly, with less than thirty percent of his inner power depleted.

When the last youth was pinned by Li Guanqi's sword at his throat, the disciples below had yet to grasp what had just transpired.

These battles truly made them understand the meaning of 'astounding'.

Using his status as an elder to make promises, exploiting the betrayal of teammates, and then going back on his word.

Eye-gouging and groin-kicking were mere child's play; more often, he manipulated people's hearts and minds.

Feigning surrender to inflict severe injuries, pretending to be hurt to call for a pause, only to suddenly launch an attack.

Everything was unbelievable, even filling many with animosity towards the young man.

Standing on the platform, Li Guanqi naturally saw the expressions of everyone below.

Looking at the silent crowd of onlookers, Li Guanqi shrugged helplessly.

"Why do you all look so shocked?"

"What I've shown is nothing."

"If you really go out there, the methods of those rogue cultivators are a thousand times more insidious than mine."

Upon hearing this, a disciple couldn't help but say, "Alarmist…"

Li Guanqi didn't waste words and directly recounted his encounter with the dwarf in the mountains with Ye Feng.

Coupled with the image stone in his hand, it was extremely convincing.

When the image from the stone disappeared, all the disciples felt a chill down their spines.

Because they realized that if they were in that situation, they would probably have made the same choice as Ye Feng.

Even if some suspected something and might have chosen to kill the woman with a sword,

the infant in the woman's arms was something none of them had considered.

The thought of the dwarf's sudden attack sent a chill through everyone's hearts.

Li Guanqi even showed them the scene of over a hundred Golden Core realm cultivators surrounding and attacking him.

Only then did they understand how terrifying the young man on the stage truly was!!!

That kind of power… it simply made it impossible to muster any resistance.

Gradually, the disciples began to ponder everything that had just happened on the stage.

However, the more they pondered, the more they realized how amazing Li Guanqi really was…

The escape routes, the psychological warfare, the consumption of inner power.

Everything was under his control. Throughout the entire battle, he barely spoke any unnecessary words, nor made any meaningless movements or gestures.

Almost every action, every glance, had a profound meaning.

At this moment, many people realized something.

If they were to put themselves in Li Guanqi's place, and react as he did…

It seemed… they could also simultaneously defeat ten cultivators of the same realm and counter-kill them one by one!!

When they understood this, they couldn't help but gasp.

The whole thing seemed absurd, but thinking about it carefully.

If they really encountered such a tricky situation outside, it seemed… they could really escape the deadly trap!!

Even those who were still unconvinced on the stage lowered their heads in thought.

Seeing this, Li Guanqi smiled slightly, and without even looking at the group of elders in the air, he said, "Alright, back to the main hall, and I'll give you a recap."

Li Guanqi's battle completely subdued all the inner disciples!

Even those who had wanted to cause trouble like Tang Chuan hurriedly flew towards the main hall.

Compared to showing off, they were more concerned with surviving in the future!

And this young man could teach them these things!!

When Li Guanqi returned to the main hall again, the places that had been somewhat empty were now densely packed with people.

Some people even simply flew up into the air on their swords!

Layer upon layer, the entire hall had five layers of people stacked in the air…

When Li Guanqi arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Elder Li, who had originally wanted to watch the fun, was directly pulled away by a group of disciples.

The already crowded main hall, filled with both outer and inner disciples, was forcibly split in the middle, creating a path that was more than ten feet wide!

Li Guanqi smiled slightly and slowly walked towards the high platform.

At this moment, the disciples behind him all stood up and respectfully saluted, saying loudly, "Greetings, Elder Li!"

Li Guanqi had won the respect of all the disciples with his powerful strength!

A gentle smile appeared on Li Guanqi's face as he slowly sat down on the futon on the high platform.

He gently pressed down with his hand, and all the disciples sat cross-legged on the ground, with the disciples in the air also sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

Then, Li Guanqi raised his hand slightly and took out the image stone.

He began to explain every detail of the entire battle, including the meaning behind each time he looked in a different direction.

After the explanation, many people's doubts were resolved.

During this time, many people asked questions, and Li Guanqi answered them one by one.

Because of this, everyone was even more amazed by Li Guanqi's strength and composure.

They had never imagined that a person could still think about so many things during a battle!

Li Guanqi said softly, "When fighting and killing people, you must maintain your composure."

"Once your head gets hot, you will fall into a passive position!"

There were nearly a thousand people below, but only Li Guanqi's voice was slowly spreading in the hall, and there was complete silence.

When Li Guanqi had finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause from below!

From their bright eyes, Li Guanqi saw their desire for strength.

They were not lazy by nature.

How could there be any real trash among those who were selected from this vast sea of people to enter the Wind and Thunder Sect?

However, at this time, Li Guanqi said softly, "I have now remembered the strength and realm of all of you."

"From today until a month later when I leave the Wind and Thunder Sect."

"I want all of you… to improve by one realm!!"

Hiss!!!

As soon as these words came out, the crowd below became a little commotion.

Li Guanqi allowed them to discuss, and after a while, the noise gradually subsided before he continued.

"Those who can't do it, or the ten outer disciples and ten inner disciples with the least progress, will all be kicked out of the Wind and Thunder Sect!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall exploded.

No one thought that Li Guanqi would make such a harsh request!

"What??? How is this possible?"

"Bullshit!! How can this be done? I'm already at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, doesn't that mean I have to break through to the Golden Core realm within a month??"

Li Guanqi's mouth curled up slightly as he said softly, "Regardless of realm, I will also break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm within this month!"

"Huh??? Is he crazy… Nascent Soul, that's!!!"

"Gulp… I thought he was cruel enough to us, but I didn't expect him to be even crueler to himself."
