"However, I have never actually considered you an opponent."

Li Qi's words were very plain, but they conveyed a wonderful feeling: that there was no falsehood in his words.

"oh?!"

"Is this your way to invincibility? To be invincible without an opponent?"

"But this is nothing but self-deception!"

"The causes and conditions of this world are intertwined and never end. As long as people live in this world, they have to compete for time, space, and resources. As long as there is competition, there will be cause and effect, and there will be karmic entanglements. It is impossible to be pure or invincible!"

At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou's suddenly raised tone revealed an aura of the survival of the fittest and the clear justice of nature.

It seemed that Li Qi's words were contrary to the principles he held in his heart.

That makes sense, though. He honed his skills in the business world, and in business, the strong prey on the weak; how could he possibly be invincible?!
However, Li Qi did not refute Zhuang Buzhou, nor did he intend to explain. The reason why Li Qi did not regard Zhuang Buzhou as an opponent was that he was now comparing himself to the Three Sages. In Li Qi's eyes, the Seven Immortals were not even in a good enough position, let alone Zhuang Buzhou.

He would never have fought the other person if they hadn't happened to be standing in front of him.

Almost at the same time the two were speaking, a red mark appeared between Zhuang Buzhou's eyebrows, gradually becoming more pronounced.

Although Zhuang Buzhou was confident of victory, he still prepared in advance, just as a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.

This is his life principle, no matter how big the gap in strength may seem on the surface!

We may be dismissive in words, but we must take them seriously tactically!

"In the Ming Domain, and even the entire Southern Continent, the future may well belong to Zhuang Buzhou..."

Upon seeing Zhuang Buzhou's behavior, a prominent figure from Mingcheng muttered to himself.

Not only is his martial arts skill exceptional, but his temperament is also remarkable; combined, he is practically invincible.

"Indeed, this man is a man of both literary and martial talents. In the future, he may very well be able to..."

An important figure chimed in, seemingly responding, but also seemingly talking to himself.

But at that moment, many people suddenly felt as if a light drizzle was falling in the stadium, and the rain seemed to wash away the restlessness and oppression in the stadium.

"Um?!"

Many people subconsciously looked up, but there was nothing there; no water was falling. However, when their gaze returned to the arena, the feeling of rain returned.

"This is……"

In the contestant area, a master at the peak of the entry level suddenly became serious.

"A light drizzle is indeed falling outside, but this is a venue. What kind of sentiment and spirit is this? It's practically a close encounter with the Tao, a fusion with all things!"

At this moment, a master of the Ming Dynasty's Daoist level saw through the trick.

"Theoretically speaking, a master who has broken through the three major limits can indeed, by chance, touch the pinnacle of life for a few moments and resonate with all things for a few instants. But that requires extremely strong mental strength. What kind of monster is Li Qi? His mind is so strong that he can turn an instant into eternity!"

"What exactly did he go through during the demonic tribulation to temper his soul to this extent?!"

A highly skilled practitioner exclaimed in surprise, having guessed something. Undoubtedly, in cultivation, the mind is the most difficult to temper, and once tempered, while aptitude is important, it is no longer the decisive factor.

"Incredible! Incredible!"

"Your heart..."

For the first time, Zhuang Buzhou, who had always been in complete control, showed a dramatic change in demeanor.

At this moment, as he watched Li Qi suddenly transform into wind and rain, harmonizing with the heavens and earth, he sensed the powerful core of Li Qi's spirit.

In this world, many things can be altered by external forces. Talent can be recreated through various means, and there are also shortcuts to spiritual cultivation. But the mind is too ethereal and elusive; it can only be sought internally, with no way to seek it externally.

This is why the old man from the Divine Heaven Path was able to determine at a glance that Li Qi was a dragon, even when Li Qi's talent was still mediocre.

The heavenly gate to sainthood is to have one's soul bear the weight of an era without becoming lost!
If the mind is not strong enough, everything will come to an end.

Li Qi's extraordinary performance in this regard was undoubtedly the result of careful consideration, and it is the most reasonable explanation for his victory over Zhuang Buzhou.

It may still raise some questions in the end, but it doesn't completely break the rules of common sense.

Being half a step ahead makes you a prodigy, but being too far ahead is a big problem.

"The length of time is not important. Some people study hard until they are sixty years old and still fail the imperial examinations, while others pass the examinations at the young age of seventeen. If time is of any use, one should grow stronger with age..."

"So, you can lose now!"

At that moment, the countdown on the big screen suddenly reached zero, and at the same time, Li Qi drew his long sword and slowly turned it over.

Li Qi's movements were not fast, but where his blade passed, ripples appeared like water, as if invisible energy was stirring the air.

With just this one move, countless people's pupils constricted and their fists clenched; the skill level of this move was incredibly high.

Even though there was clearly no wind in the arena, Li Qi's robes billowed as if a strong wind was stirring within them with a slight movement.

This phenomenon represents an extremely powerful exertion; if one's mental strength is even slightly insufficient, no matter how strong one's physical strength is, one cannot produce such an effect.

This movement immediately put Zhuang Buzhou under unprecedented pressure. In his view, Li Qi's physical strength and vitality were weaker than his own, but his strong will had condensed all his power into a peak that he could not reach at all.

The immense pressure impacted his mind and the myriad spirits and deities within him, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible. As the God Lord, he rules over all the gods and spirits, and none can defy him. But now, the operation of his Thirty-Three Heavens God and Spirit Karma Chart has been found to have a man-made flaw.

What he considered perfect turned out to be flawed under such circumstances.

But he was no ordinary man after all. In the blink of an eye, his mind focused, and the mark between his brows became an extremely vibrant red.

In an instant, many people in the room felt as if ghosts and gods were roaring, as if they were proclaiming the majesty of the natural order!
Then, Zhuang Buzhou suddenly drew his sword. In an instant, he became one with the spirits and gods, and he seemed to transform into the legendary Buzhou Mountain!

In ancient legends, it was the pillar that supported heaven and earth, and the key to supporting the thirty-three heavens.

Undoubtedly, this is the essence of the Thirty-Three Heavens Ghost and God Karma Chart; the transformations of ghosts and gods are all contained within Buzhou!
This is also the origin of his name, Zhuang Buzhou.

For his very first move, Li Qi actually forced him to use his trump card.
