CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 471: I AM THE WEAKEST

She had a very delicate appearance, with a pair of dark, clear eyes that always conveyed sincerity and kindness when she looked at someone. Furthermore, judging by her height, she appeared to be only about eleven or twelve years old.

Truthfully, those who didn’t know her wouldn’t take her seriously at all.

But those who knew her were aware of her extraordinary background and formidable combat power. Not only that, but she had even revealed an Emperor Weapon not long ago.

Despite the questions, the mere suspicion was enough to silence countless people.

At this moment, she repeatedly influenced Li Qi, attracting the attention of many. Some who recognized Zi Ji even wore expressions of shock.

"It’s her."

"You know her?"

"Chen Pingping’s little martial sister."

"I know that."

"She once revealed an Emperor Weapon."

"..."

The people in this area were stunned.

Actually, the "strength" of the Wuji Sect extended far beyond that: there was Chen Pingping’s Quasi-Emperor Weapon, the Wuji Sect Elders connected to the three coffins, and also Yu Changfeng.

But Star Sea was also prepared. For this day, they had waited too long and paid a heavy price.

Therefore, Star Sea would not retreat merely because of a suspicion.

While waiting for Mr. Shisan, Star Sea’s leadership had also formulated a series of plans.

The one who stepped forward to accept the challenge, Li Qi, was Chen Pingping’s only disciple. If they could kill him, it would undoubtedly strike a blow to the Wuji Sect’s overall morale.

And that young girl who was boasting earlier—she was Chen Pingping’s little martial sister.

"Our Star Sea has brought over twenty young prodigies this time, ranging from Divine Kings to Lords. Killing one Li Qi and one Zi Ji shouldn’t be a problem," a Star Sea Elder said with a smile.

"Yes!"

"Let’s start with Li Qi."

"Elder, this youth is somewhat peculiar. I believe it would be best to directly dispatch a Lord-realm cultivator to confront him."

"That’s not appropriate..." someone objected. "Challenges among the younger generation can have age gaps, but not overly large ones. There can be differences in cultivation realms, but not crossing a major realm. If we send a Lord to fight, Fairy Valley might intervene."

"They’ll intervene?" a young man scoffed. "Judging by how Fairy Valley treats the Wuji Sect, they’d be thrilled if the entire Wuji Sect died here."

Many people had seen through this. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been Li Qi who accepted the challenge just now, but a young prodigy from Fairy Valley.

A Saint Realm Elder chuckled, "What’s there to fear? The Scholar isn’t here; there’s only Bai Yisheng."

Indeed! The top young prodigies of Fairy Valley were not present. As for the Fairy, she was one of Star Sea’s own; even if she were here, she wouldn’t fight.

「...」

"Star Sea wants to suppress the Wuji Sect’s morale," someone in the watching crowd deduced.

"Difficult..."

No one knew the Wuji Sect’s true depth; everyone wanted to test it.

But they overlooked Fairy Valley, which was standing aside.

Although Fairy Valley had merged with the Wuji Sect, and grievances existed between them, Fairy Valley could not erase the fact that they had entered the City of Extinction together.

From that moment on, their fates were bound to the Wuji Sect.

If Star Sea went too far, Fairy Valley would definitely take action.

This was inevitable.

BANG!

While they were speaking, a young prodigy from Star Sea made his move, channeling Star Power to unleash a potent Divine Skill.

Divine Brilliance burst forth, making him appear utterly divine and sacred. From afar, he looked like a god incarnate.

"How will you kill me?" The man’s gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Li Qi, Zi Ji’s words—kill him—echoing in his mind.

HEH! Did he really think he was invincible? Just a mere cultivator of the Emperor Dao Third Heaven, that’s all.

He manifested Divine Skills, wreathed in Divine Brilliance, and stepped towards Li Qi.

Intense killing intent, mingled with Divine Might, swept down and blanketed the area, instantly sealing the battlefield.

He was very strong. Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Fairy Valley’s leadership also narrowed their eyes, choosing to watch quietly how things would unfold.

Bai Yisheng glanced at Zi Ji. Seeing her calm demeanor, he sighed inwardly, Li Qi, ah! To be saddled with such a little martial aunt, you’ve really got your hands full.

The first bout ended in Du Xiaoke’s defeat due to underestimation. So, what about the second match? The opponent is an expert at the Peak State of the Emperor Dao Realm! Now that he has unleashed his Divine Skill and the full might of his realm, his killing intent is resolute. How will you defend against it? If I were Zi Ji, I wouldn’t let Li Qi fight this second battle. What a pity.

Bai Yisheng was secretly on alert, ready to rescue Li Qi at a moment’s notice should the tide of battle turn.

Because he was unsure if Fairy Valley’s leadership would intervene.

Everyone wanted to test the waters, forgetting they were all in the same boat. If Star Sea annihilated the Wuji Sect, they certainly wouldn’t spare Fairy Valley either.

"You’re very strong," Li Qi said.

"And you?" the man scoffed.

"I’m not good enough," Li Qi’s insecurity surfaced again. "My master doesn’t let me cultivate, nor does he teach me the Tao."

"What are you trying to say?"

"In the Wuji Sect, I’m the weakest," he said earnestly. "Really. That’s why I envy all of you, being able to do whatever you want."

He rambled on, voicing his complaints while his opponent’s Divine Skill had yet to fully envelop him. It was unclear whether this was due to fear or an attempt to distract his opponent.

But it seemed useless. The willpower of every genius is firm; they wouldn’t waver over a few words, especially words that had nothing to do with them.

The man said disdainfully, "So, are you ready to die?"

Li Qi shook his head and sighed. "My master said I am the hope of the Wuji Sect and that I will shoulder great responsibility, so I cannot die yet."

HAHA!

Many people laughed upon hearing this.

Chen Pingping actually didn’t allow him to cultivate, didn’t teach him the Tao, and then topped it off by saying, "You are the hope of the Wuji Sect, you will shoulder great responsibility."

They could almost picture the scene. Chen Pingping was known for duping people like this. They never imagined this fellow could be so ruthless as to not even spare his own disciple...

What a beast, truly!

"This?" Bai Yisheng looked towards Zi Ji. "This can’t be true, right?"

Zi Ji looked bewildered. "I have no idea!"

She hadn’t received such treatment.

Within Qingfeng’s lineage, she was the one Chen Pingping doted on the most. From the very beginning, she had anything she wanted.

Guang Xiaoyu had even told her several times, "I’m truly envious of you."

Zi Ji would ask, puzzled, "What are you envious of?"

Guang Xiaoyu said, "I envy you for being the youngest..."

Actually, she wasn’t entirely without her guesses as to the reason. Zi Ji was a Qi Refiner, so giving her more resources was pointless. She, Guang Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was a Demon cultivator and often needed more self-restraint. Of course, in Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes, her Senior Brother definitely loved her the most. There was no doubting it.

Bai Yisheng was speechless.

The powerful Divine Skill had already descended, dense killing intent filling every inch of space.

Just when everyone thought Li Qi was about to give up, he suddenly snapped his eyes open. A burst of golden Divine Brilliance erupted from him, and he too unleashed a Divine Skill.

The True Solar Scripture.

Yes. A Divine Skill!

A black sun rose from behind him.

The Power of Heaven and Earth, Spirit Qi, and the Power of Laws surged toward him from all directions, continuously empowering that black sun.

Even more bizarrely, the Divine Brilliance he himself emitted was golden, a stark contrast to the black sun.

People gaped.

Many Saint Realm powerhouses were also dumbfounded.

The attacking Star Sea genius was also stunned. What is this thing?

The True Solar Scripture blazed fiercely. Golden and black light erupted simultaneously, illuminating this expanse of heaven and earth. Not only that, but it also blocked the opponent’s Divine Skill.

Although his opponent’s cultivation realm was higher, and the Divine Skill he unleashed was clearly more powerful, Li Qi possessed the Solar Saint Body.

The moment Li Qi activated his Dantian, the sun deep within him began to burn furiously. An endless stream of power surged out, merging perfectly with his Divine Skill.

In just a few breaths, he completely suppressed the Star Sea genius’s Divine Skill.

"What did he just say?" a man asked.

"He said his master doesn’t let him cultivate and doesn’t teach him the Tao..."

"He also said he’s the weakest in the Wuji Sect."

Everyone was utterly bewildered.
