It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

The next moment, Chu Xuantian gritted his teeth and charged towards Xiao Rufeng.

As the number one young person in the Qingxuan Sect, why would he be afraid?

boom!

The two violent auras clashed once again, causing the entire arena to shake violently.

Those disciples who were closest to the scene all changed color and retreated to a distance.

They didn't want to be injured by the aftershocks of the two's battle; not only would it be a loss, but it would also make them look too useless.

Then, the arena gradually calmed down.

The dust settled slowly.

The two figures gradually came into view.

Immediately afterward, everyone who saw what happened on the stage gaped open, their faces filled with disbelief.

Some people were so shocked and excited that they even found it difficult to breathe.

Their pride, the number one young talent of the Qingxuan Sect, has actually been defeated!

The scene on the arena was striking: Xiao Rufeng still stood proudly upright, while Chu Xuantian, due to his severe injuries, was unable to stand up and lay flat on the ground.

Xiao Rufeng's expression remained calm at this moment.

He hadn't expected Chu Xuantian to be weaker than he had imagined.

The battle did not satisfy him, and Xiao Rufeng was somewhat disappointed.

He then glanced at Chu Xuantian, who was lying on the ground with his head down.

Although Chu Xuantian's injuries were not minor, he was not completely unable to move.

He deliberately buried his head deep, his eyes filled with utter desolation.

He dared not raise his head, dared not look at his fellow disciples, elders, and peak masters of the Qingxuan Sect, dared not face the gazes that had once held him in such high regard.

All the past glory, applause, and adoration have vanished in an instant, shattered completely in this defeat.

He dared not face his master, Gu Qingxuan.

He actually lost? How could he lose?

He even lost to Xiao Rufeng, who was younger and had a lower level of cultivation.

Xiao Rufeng looked at the disheveled Chu Xuantian, his face expressionless, and said casually:

"My master is not someone you can challenge; you are too weak."

After Xiao Rufeng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Ye Qingxue also sneered. Chu Xuantian was ignorant of his own limitations and dared to provoke her master. He deserved to end up like this.

Moreover, Chu Xuantian is not qualified to challenge Chen Ping at all. If Chu Xuantian really faces Chen Ping, he will only be more desperate.

Afterwards, Ye Qingxue ignored Chu Xuantian on the ground and stood side by side with Xiao Rufeng.

The two disciples drifted away amidst the shocked and awe-inspiring gazes of the entire audience.

Everyone watched Xiao Rufeng and Ye Qingxue leave with great composure, their eyes filled with complex emotions, before turning their gaze to the lonely figure on the arena.

Chu Xuantian actually lost, and lost so decisively.

How could this be?

Those followers and admirers of Chu Xuantian clutched their chests, unable to accept the fact, seeing his disheveled appearance.

They couldn't accept Chu Xuantian's defeat, but rather they couldn't accept that Chu Xuantian had been defeated by Xiao Rufeng.

Because Xiao Rufeng is Chen Ping's disciple, and he has only been practicing cultivation for a month.

One person in the crowd gave Chu Xuantian a deep look, then hurried off toward the sect master's hall.

Anyone with eyes can see that Chu Xuantian's Dao heart has been shattered at this moment.

If not handled properly, Chu Xuantian's cultivation path may come to an end, making it difficult to make any further progress, and he will live in pain and depression every day.

Qingxuan Sect, Sect Master's Hall.

Gu Qingxuan sat upright in the main seat, his face dignified, as he reviewed the messages sent by the other three peak masters.

The Four Sects Grand Competition is approaching. Every year at this time, each sect will offer rare cultivation resources and exotic treasures as rewards for the competition.

Of course, only the top ten genius disciples are eligible to receive these rewards.

If a sect doesn't even have a single genius disciple who can squeeze into the top ten, all the cultivation resources it has prepared will have to be handed over to the other three major sects.

The Qingxuan Sect has the shallowest foundation and the weakest strength, and has been at the bottom of the four sects competition for many years.

Later, Gu Qingxuan met Chu Xuantian by chance and immediately recognized his exceptional talent, so he took him as his disciple.

As expected, Chu Xuantian displayed extraordinary talent from a young age, winning numerous awards for the Qingxuan Sect.

He consistently ranked in the top ten in the four annual grand competitions. Later, when Chu Xuantian broke through to the Void Realm, his ranking remained firmly in the top five.

Gu Qingxuan is now pouring all his energy into Chu Xuantian, hoping that he can bring honor to the Qingxuan Sect.

At that very moment, a disciple rushed into the main hall, his face filled with anxiety, and reported:

"Something terrible has happened, Sect Master! Senior Brother Chu Xuantian is in trouble!"

Upon hearing his disciple's report, Gu Qingxuan immediately frowned.

What?

His beloved disciple, Chu Xuantian, had gotten into trouble? What could have happened to him?

Within the Qingxuan Sect, who would dare to touch him?

Gu Qingxuan frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

The disciple quickly explained the whole story.

A moment later, Gu Qingxuan's gaze became extremely strange.

What?

Chu Xuantian actually lost?

Moreover, he was defeated by Xiao Rufeng, Chen Ping's apprentice.

He remembered Xiao Rufeng, who was a disciple accepted by Chen Ping at the last disciple-acceptance ceremony, and had only been practicing for a month.

Gu Qingxuan dared not hesitate any longer. If this was true, Chu Xuantian's situation would be extremely bad.

If this matter is not handled properly, Qingxuan Sect will forever lose a top genius, and he will also lose his beloved disciple on whom he placed great hopes.

He flashed and disappeared from the sect leader's hall in an instant.

In a short while, Gu Qingxuan appeared at the martial arts arena.

Whether it was because the Qingxuan Sect disciples could not accept the fact that Chu Xuantian had lost, the arena was still surrounded by disciples.

The crowd remained where they were, watching Chu Xuantian on the arena, their emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

Upon seeing Gu Qingxuan arrive, everyone bowed in respect.

"metropolitan!"

Everyone knew that only Gu Qingxuan could comfort and help Chu Xuantian right now.

Gu Qingxuan ignored the disciples around him and looked straight at the martial arts stage. The moment he saw the scene, his eyes widened in shock.

Even though he had already heard the news, Gu Qingxuan was still shocked when he saw the extremely disheveled figure on the arena.

"Xuantian".

He quickly walked up to Chu Xuantian and reached out to help him up.

But at this moment, Chu Xuantian was very resistant, feeling that he had no face to face Gu Qingxuan.

"It's alright, Xuantian, Master is here."

Gu Qingxuan looked at Chu Xuantian's appearance with a grim expression.

The once spirited young man is now shrouded in a deathly aura, his will is broken, and he looks utterly hopeless.

"It's just one loss, don't be discouraged, and don't give up on yourself."

Chu Xuantian's world was shrouded in darkness at this moment; he simply could not accept the fact that he had suffered such a crushing defeat.

He once boasted of being a genius and considered himself the number one among the younger generation of the Qingxuan Sect. All his past glory has now become a huge joke.

But Gu Qingxuan still did not give up on Chu Xuantian. He actually understood Chu Xuantian's state of mind very well because he himself had experienced such a desperate moment.

Only he knew the utter despair Chu Xuantian felt at that moment.

Gu Qingxuan sighed softly, then with a flick of his sleeve, he and Chu Xuantian disappeared from the arena.
