“I’m going to fight them all!”
Jun Changxiao’s arrogant and domineering voice resounded outside the main hall, immediately shocking everyone!
According to the ancestral rules, the Young Clan Leader only needed to win ten matches, so there was no need to fight them all.
“Young Master.”
The Grand Tutor said: “With so many warriors, fighting one by one would be too time-consuming.”
“Fighting them all at once won’t be time-consuming,” Jun Changxiao said.
The Grand Tutor was immediately dumbfounded.
The Young Clan Leader wanted to fight several thousand people alone?
“…”
The Stone Statue Clan Leader’s face nearly turned green with anger.
She had already arranged ten actors for him, requiring only a performance before everyone, yet he took it upon himself to fight them all, and even fight them all at once—how could he be so capable?
“The Young Clan Leader is too fierce!”
“One against several thousand, unprecedented!”
The Stone Statue Clan members who came to watch whispered among themselves.
“Of course.”
Jun Changxiao added: “If I lose, naturally I won’t inherit the Clan Leader position!”
If not for the large number of clan members present, the Stone Statue Clan Leader would definitely have flown over and kicked him to the Earth Spirit Evil Valley.
Young people.
Being a bit arrogant is fine.
However, behavior like her son’s could completely be classified as ‘courting death.’
“Young Clan Leader.”
The Grand Guardian said gravely: “The Sacred Battle is very sacred. Please treat it seriously.”
He thought Jun Changxiao was joking.
The truth?
Dog Sheng had never been more serious!
Because… the task triggered yesterday, with the content being: challenge all warriors in the Sacred Battle and achieve final victory.
This explained well why Jun Changxiao suddenly manned up.
You should know, after arriving in the Upper Realm, his main route was lying low when possible. Even when truly arrogant, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to fight several thousand people, especially since this was just sparring, not a life-and-death battle—completely unnecessary to work so hard!
Dog Sheng without a task and Dog Sheng with a task were like two different people.
Most importantly.
What came wasn’t a branch task but an epic task!
Jun Changxiao might not care about contribution points since the system had collapsed, but epic tasks linked to realm advancement—regardless of difficulty—absolutely had to be completed desperately!
“I.”
Dog Sheng stood proudly on the combat platform, his tone serious: “Am not joking!”
“This Young Master is quite interesting.”
The several thousand warriors standing outside the combat platform, their gazes instantly became burning.
They were all elites carefully selected by the Stone Statue Clan. Though not very old, they all possessed considerable strength and potential.
Especially, they had high spirits.
If the Young Clan Leader wanted to challenge everyone, they were naturally happy to oblige!
In a human clan environment, let alone a Young Master, even a young lord would have servants being respectful and obedient, not daring to offend.
In the Stone Statue Clan, though the Young Clan Leader’s status was very noble and clan members would respect him, to gain their recognition required absolute strength!
“Clan Leader, what do you think…”
“Think what? My child wants to fight them all, so fight them all!”
The Stone Statue Clan Leader was obviously somewhat sulking, her tone showing impatience.
“Very well.”
The Grand Tutor announced loudly: “All warriors, step forward!”
“Step!”
“Step!”
In an instant, nearly three thousand Stone Statue Clan elites strode forward, their gazes and bodies gathering intense battle intent.
…
Outside the Clan Hall was a vast martial arts field.
At this moment, Jun Changxiao stood on one side, while several thousand warriors stood on the other.
The arena was initially designed for one-on-one combat, but now it had evolved into a group fighting one person, naturally requiring a change of venue.
The camera provided a distant view.
One person facing several thousand people—the image was quite shocking.
“Clan Leader!”
The Grand Tutor praised: “The Young Clan Leader’s courage commands our utmost respect!”
“…”
The Stone Statue Clan Leader’s face remained dark throughout.
She had originally planned to quickly pass the Clan Leader position to her son, but with things developing to this point, if he lost to the warriors, the succession would definitely be delayed.
No!
There was no ‘if.’
He definitely couldn’t win!
The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers thought the same, because too many warriors had come, and even a Truth-Seeking Realm cultivator would find it hard to overcome such numbers.
“Sigh.”
Gongsun Hou sighed inwardly: “The Young Master was reckless.”
At this moment, none of the Stone Statue Clan members present were optimistic about Dog Sheng winning, only Hua Meigui firmly believed her husband could achieve victory, because during their time together, she had gradually learned that he wouldn’t do things he wasn’t confident about.
“Sacred Battle, beg…”
“Wait a moment.”
Jun Changxiao interrupted the referee, turning back to look at the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers before the hall: “I’ve been cultivating in the outside world and learned external martial arts. Does winning with them count?”
“It counts.”
The Grand Tutor said: “Our Stone Statue Clan believes in strength, regardless of what martial arts are cultivated.”
“Can I use weapons and equipment?”
“Yes.”
Having received clear answers, Jun Changxiao donned the Great Sage equipment set, holding the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Tyrannical Sky Spear horizontally before him, his gaze flashing with intense battle intent.
The Tyrannical Sky Spear was jointly forged by Star Fall Continent craftsmen. Due to materials from the Upper Realm, its power had always been difficult to manifest in the lower realm, so after ascending to the Upper Realm, Dog Sheng had given it to Fan Yezi for modification, and it had long since undergone qualitative change.
“Hall Master Fan is busy with mecha parts and battle armor research all day—when would he have time to modify weapons? This method of temporarily applying enhancement patches is too shameless!” the system roared.
…
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
Several thousand warriors began flexing their muscles.
Being able to accompany the Young Clan Leader in battle was supreme honor, so they must give their all!
“Sacred Battle!”
The referee drew out the call, shouting: “Begin—”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, several thousand warriors released their full cultivation, torrential energy gathering on the martial arts field, creating an immensely grand spectacle!
The Stone Statue Clan’s carefully selected young elites were truly impressive, not only all possessing Core Formation Realm cultivation, but many even at the eighth or ninth rotation or even peak level!
Theoretically speaking, Jun Changxiao, who hadn’t entered the Truth-Seeking Realm, wanting to defeat several thousand people was completely impossible.
“Charge!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The Stone Statue Clan warriors surged forward.
Various energies gathered, the generated energy waves completely disrupting space.
“It’s over.”
The Stone Statue Clan Leader shook her head.
With so many people, each giving one kick could leave her son unable to care for himself in life.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the martial arts field, shocking her into looking quickly. She saw Jun Changxiao rising into the air, his long spear in a vertical chopping stance pressing down, his entire face gradually contorting, gradually transforming into a monkey, his battle armor like boiling molten lava, a crimson flame cape gathering on his shoulders.
Molten lava as armor, flames waving as cape.
That man had arrived!
“Boom—”
The powerful and heavy Tyrannical Sky Spear, like the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, fiercely struck the ground, visible energy ripples wildly undulating.
In slow motion, the faces of the thousands of charging warriors showed gradually increasing shock, then under the raging energy waves and ground tremors, they flew up one after another, unlocking various new poses.
“This…”
The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers’s eyes widened.
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao withdrew the Tyrannical Sky Spear, gracefully spinning it several times, then with a “Bang!” held it horizontally before him, gently raising his head, the corner of his mouth curling into an evil smile: “Finished.”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
In an instant, as if in slow motion, the thousands of warriors suspended in various poses all blasted away, then fell scattered like rain outside the martial arts field in embarrassment.
Pre-battle preparation: ten minutes.
Battle conclusion: one second.
This was—The Great Sage’s Return!
