Li Guanqi nodded slightly.

He turned his head to take another look at Lin Qingyu and had to admit that she was the most beautiful woman he had seen so far.

At this moment, however, the woman on the mountaintop lowered her head slightly to look at him.

Li Guanqi, with a blank stare, naturally turned his head and smiled faintly, saying, “Fellow senior brothers and sisters, the deal is done.”

Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar, urging Junior Brother Li to hurry up.

Li Guanqi didn’t waste words. He took a deep breath, and with a surge of blood energy, he forcefully stomped on the ground.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed as the rock beneath Li Guanqi’s feet suddenly shattered into a deep pit, creating several large cracks in the boulder that was about a zhang in size.

This scene shocked many onlookers, as nearly everyone here was a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm, capable of lifting a thousand jin.

But to smash a rock weighing tens of tons with mere physical strength was something only a few could achieve.

Li Guanqi moved with incredible speed, diving into the waterfall in the blink of an eye!

Feeling the oncoming water, the terrifying force nearly kept him out, but he managed to plunge in with the momentum of his leap!

“Ha-ha, Junior Brother Li has such a strong physique! To think he could dive in with just the power of his leap!”

“I knew betting on the second platform was the right choice!”

Boom!

At this moment, Li Guanqi’s hands were tightly gripping the cliff, letting the waterfall pour down on him.

The formidable power made him shiver inwardly, and he thought to himself, “Goodness, just the force near the top is almost a thousand jun!”

Soon, Li Guanqi, using hands and feet, descended to the first platform.

Although he could withstand the water flow here, he continued to climb down!

The smooth cliff made it hard to grip, but Li Guanqi’s fingers were like knives, firmly latching onto every crevice as he climbed down step by step.

He quickly passed the second platform, the roaring sound in his ears intensifying, making it impossible to hear anything from the outside world.

Outside the waterfall, everyone watched this scene with bated breath.

It was known that only a rare few at the Foundation Establishment stage could climb to this position with just their physical strength.

Many senior brothers pursed their lips, muttering, “Looks like the Spirit Stones are gone.”

But they were also curious to see if Li Guanqi could withstand the highest waterfall’s impact.

Li Guanqi moved cautiously with each step, the water hitting him like hammers, causing his whole body to ache.

The rapid water flow made it impossible to open his eyes, but at this moment, Li Guanqi felt an indistinct sensation.

Gradually, his muscles began to relax.

Boom!

A torrent of water poured down, hitting him and causing his figure to shake violently!

His foot slipped, and one hand suddenly came loose from the crevice!

Whoosh!

The onlookers gasped, but many noticed Li Guanqi’s sudden relaxation.

Lin Qingyu’s brows furrowed slightly, her face showing a hint of confusion.

“Could it be that he’s exhausted?”

Fortunately, Li Guanqi’s right hand was firmly wedged into the crevice, preventing him from falling.

However, Li Guanqi felt a surge of joy inside.

“So this is the power of water… so turbulent and fierce!”

Indeed, he had felt a unique momentum belonging to water within the waterfall!

Even the gentle stream could become so wild and rapid.

Li Guanqi, relaxed and letting the waterfall pour down, immersed himself in feeling the flow of the water.

His entire body swayed east and west, hanging on the cliff.

No one knew what he was doing, except Lin Qingyu’s eyes grew brighter as she seemed to understand Li Guanqi’s intention!

As time passed, some thought Li Guanqi had fainted against the cliff.

Suddenly!

Li Guanqi’s body twisted slightly, and feeling the change in the water flow below, he attempted to climb down!

In an instant, Li Guanqi’s figure, like a gecko, reached the third platform in just a few breaths!

Standing on the platform, Li Guanqi closed his eyes and concentrated, planting his feet firmly and beginning to practice his boxing!

Vapors rose from his robe, caused by the surge of blood energy within his body raising his temperature.

Each punch and kick seemed natural, following the waterfall’s flow as he freely executed his boxing form!

This scene utterly shocked everyone. Li Guanqi stood rooted to the spot, his movements agile and his boxing form unchaotic, even causing splashes where his punches passed!

Thus, Li Guanqi stood on the third platform, completing a full set of boxing forms!

The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement!

The impact of the waterfall on the third platform was more than five times stronger than that on the first!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples couldn’t even stand firm on the third platform, let alone perform a vigorous set of boxing forms.

Everyone was thoroughly convinced by their loss, even the disheveled man at the top of the waterfall praised endlessly!

“Damn, he’s really a monster…”

“His physique is on par with those martial cultivators who pursue the martial path!”

Thud!

Li Guanqi, having leaped onto the boulder, circulated his Primordial Energy to disperse the moisture on his body and, with a smile, said, “Good, good, good. Junior brother thanks all the senior brothers and sisters for their generous support.”

The crowd wasn’t annoyed and laughed, “Tsk tsk, this round goes to Junior Brother. To think he could gain insights under the waterfall! Admirable!”

“Is there no justice?! It’s one thing to cultivate diligently, but to have such exceptional talent too!”

“I’m convinced, truly convinced.”

After Li Guanqi finished tallying up, he found that he had won nearly five hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones from this bet.

Most of it, however, was contributed by Ye Feng.

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and then flashed over to the mountain where Lin Qingyu was, speaking softly, “Thank you, Senior Sister Lin, for trusting me. This is what you deserve.”

As he spoke, Li Guanqi handed over a Storage Bag containing one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.

Lin Qingyu, with a generous nature, didn’t demur. She took the Storage Bag and covered her face with a light laugh, “Hehe, I didn’t expect to end up earning something thanks to Junior Brother Li. Not bad.”

Li Guanqi smiled faintly, ready to leave with Ye Feng and the others.

At that moment, Lin Qingyu suddenly called out to Li Guanqi.

“Hey…”

Li Guanqi asked in a puzzled tone, “What’s wrong, Senior Sister?”

Lin Qingyu’s face showed difficulty, and she spoke softly with some embarrassment.

“I know you all want to participate in the Centennial competition among a hundred Sects. Can I join you for cultivation?”

Li Guanqi was slightly taken aback and murmured, “Uh… together? As a group?”

Lin Qingyu’s face turned a bit awkward as she said, “Yes, together.”
