At this moment, Qi Shaohua was in a miserable state. His chest had been blasted into a bloody mess, and he was heavily injured from that single sword strike. The inner armor that he wore under his clothes was also blasted into pieces.

Qi Shaohua coughed up a mouthful of blood. All his internal organs were heavily injured. In fact, if not for his inner armor blocking most of the damage, this strike would have been fatal.

Qi Shaohua’s eyes were filled with incomparable shock. Chu Yunfan stood in front of the crowd like a raging tidal wave. With his sword in hand, he looked like a heavenly god.

Chu Yufan was able to suppress the entire crowd with just his aura. Even a character like Qi Shaohua was stunned by this.

Previously, everyone was trying to figure out who would win and who would lose. However, now that everything was about to be settled, they began to feel uncomfortable.

In a situation that no one had expected, Chu Yunfan, who had fought alone, had defeated Qi Shaohua and the other four experts. Moreover, he defeated them without much effort.

Chu Yunfan had swept through all of them. None of them could last more than a few moves.

This ended the idea some people had of wanting to take advantage of the situation. The Heaven’s Pride Invite was something that many people wanted to obtain, but after seeing Chu Yunfan perform like a god, everyone ceased to think this any further.

At first, many were puzzled as to why the Heavenly Dragon Elder would send an invitation to Chu Yunfan. This was the first time in history that a person who was less than twenty years old had been invited. Now, it seemed that Chu Yunfan indeed had the qualifications. No one could compare to him.

“Qi Shaohua actually lost. He really lost!” Liu Qingqing said with a shocked expression and somewhat bitter expression on her face.

There were still Qi Shaohua and Jiang Lingxiao, who were experts of the same generation, in front of Liu Qingqing. From behind her, Chu Yunfan had caught up with her with lightning speed, and even surpassed her.

Among the billions of people in the human race, Liu Qingqing’s talent was top-notch. She could be called a genius. However, there were times when geniuses were inferior because some people were just monsters.

For example, Chu Yunfan was one of those monsters. Even if Liu Qingqing did not want to admit it, she had to. Some people really could not be measured by common sense.

If even Liu Qingqing had these thoughts, let alone others. She was in complete shock and could not calm down.

“He really won. He became famous after one battle. He really became famous after one battle!”

“From now on, he’ll be invincible among his peers!”

Situ Ziying, Le Yuzhu, and the others were even more dumbfounded.

With their talent, they could naturally step into the Innate Stage. The only difference was that they had reached that stage only in their fourth year. This became their only criterion to measure everything.

However, even though they had stepped into the Innate Stage, it was clear that there was no comparison between them and Chu Yunfan. Chu Yunfan had already surpassed them and reached a level that they needed to look up to.

From the battle between him and Qi Shaohua, it could be seen that even among Innate Stage experts, Chu Yunfan was definitely not weak.

No one knew just how strong Chu Yunfan had become.

They were unwilling, but they had to admit that it might be very difficult to surpass Chu Yunfan in the future. Even Mei Haiyun and Dong Fanghao were not enough to make them have such thoughts.

Though talent was born, how could someone like Chu Yunfan who could suppress a whole generation exist?

“Lili, this old classmate of yours is so powerful!” Du Yue’er said as she looked at Yang Lili. She could not believe that there was such a powerful existence among Yang Lili’s old classmates.

Although Du Yue’er did not quite understand the meaning behind Chu Yunfan’s instant kill of Qi Shaohua, she could understand how powerful and terrifying Chu Yunfan was.

“Lili, you don’t have a boyfriend. If you can catch this old classmate of yours, you won’t have to be afraid of anything in the future,” Du Yue’er urged. Chu Yunfan was so dazzling at the moment. If she did not have a boyfriend—and if was not because their relationship was very strong—she was afraid that even her heart would have changed.

An outstanding girl could attract countless men to throw themselves at her like moths to a flame, and an outstanding man exactly was the same.

“Stop seeing with me!” There was a bitter smile on Yang Lili’s pretty face. Chu Yunfan had not been good enough for her in the past, but she knew herself well now. Although she was good-looking, she was not a great beauty. How could she be good enough for the current dazzling Chu Yunfan?

“We have to befriend him!”

If these students were shocked, then the CEOs of various companies and the elders of various sects only had one thought, and that was to befriend Chu Yunfan.

Befriending such an expert would only bring benefits. There would certainly be no disadvantages.

With Chu Yunfan’s stunning performance, he definitely had a chance to reach the top. How could frosted cake be more effective than sending charcoal in the snow? As the saying went, rare goods could be reaped. Since ancient times, countless people who invested in these peerless experts would reap unimaginable returns in the future.

What was fate? This was fate. As Chu Yunfan became stronger and stronger and defeated more and more experts along the way, a huge force would form behind him. This was the grand trend.

This was why no one dared to relax in the competition among their peers. Once one fell behind, one would only continue to fall. The stronger a person was, the more disasters they would face. Consequently, the faster they grew, the more people would come to protect him, and the harder it would be to compete with him.

In middle school and high school, many had started from the same starting point. It could be said that geniuses were like salmon swimming upriver. There was almost no difference between them. However, the further one got, the fewer people were qualified to compete. Finally, one person would reach the top and dominate the world.

And now, Chu Yunfan was that person. He was just like Jiang Lingxiao from before. No, it should be said that he was even more dazzling.

This was especially so in the eyes of the various people present. This was because Chu Yunfan had no background and did not have a deep connection with the Chus.

No matter how they invested in Jiang Lingxiao, they would only receive some returns. After all, Jiang Lingxiao, the next clan leader of the Jiang family, was a member of the Jiangs at the end of the day.

But Chu Yunfan was different. He was a nobody and no one supported him. At this time, investing even one percent would naturally result in a twenty percent return.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan was not aware of the changes in everyone’s hearts. He only said, “Qi Shaohua, you’re as famous as Jiang Lingxiao, yet you’re so weak. You couldn’t even withstand a single blow.”

Chu Yunfan thought that Qi Shaohua was as famous as Jiang Lingxiao and was known as the twin prodigies of Federation University. Although Qi Shaohua was slightly weaker than Jiang Lingxiao, he should have been quite the character.

However, Qi Shaohua turned out to be so weak.
