A powerful burst of internal energy, carrying a broken big sword, charged forward.
It was a terrifying scene on this training ground. With the horrifying burst of internal energy, the broken long sword began to emit a faint light, and the terrifying internal energy attached to it started to ripple outward, actually cutting the training ground in half.
The sharp sword energy rose into the sky, and even from several tens of meters away, one could feel the sharp intent, as if a knife was coming towards them, with an extra sense of reality.
"You!"
Bai Changli's pupils shrank, sensing the impending danger.
A strong sense of crisis spread from his heart, and without hesitation, his internal energy resurged instantly, activated and applied altogether.
He was genuinely a proud genius, his cultivation level ranking high among the young generation of the Bai family. His mastery of internal energy was immediately displayed with terrifying power.
Clang!
A crisp sound erupted.
Bai Changli's golden long sword in his hand swung forward at an inexplicable angle, as if all the force of his body was put into this one strike.
Around him, the visible thick internal energy turned into white light, enveloping the weapon and emitting a faint golden light with the golden long sword.
However, despite this, Bai Changli's figure still moved backwards, directly pushed back.
"What!"
The surroundings were instantly shocked.
At that moment, people once again turned their attention to Chen An on the stage but found that he was already different from before.
On his sword, the massive internal energy burst out unabashedly, no longer just a little glossy as before, but extremely bright.
A discerning person could see at a glance that the internal energy on this young man's body was much stronger than what Bai Changli had displayed.
In other words,
"Completion of internal energy!"
At the top, Bai Changyuan suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes staring in disbelief, his face full of disbelief: "How is this possible!"
Yes, how is it possible?
Clearly just a weakling before, just an ordinary internal energy realm, how could it suddenly become a completion of internal energy?
It's like a rabbit suddenly turning into a tiger, a weak and powerless girl turning into a strong man, making people unable to help but be shocked, to think how is this possible.
Bai Changyuan's reaction was not strange.
Just not far from his seat, looking at the changes on the stage, even Bai Qing, the nominal ruler, was about to sit up, almost rising from her seat, showing a similar reaction to Bai Changyuan.
She did not react like Bai Changyuan, mostly because she was too shocked, to the point that she didn't react at all.
And when she reacted, she could naturally control her actions.
On the surface, Bai Qing just quietly sat in her seat, with no change from beginning to end, a mysterious smile on her face, as if mocking Bai Changyuan's reaction.
With this posture, it felt like she was confident and already knew the situation.
However, in reality, Bai Qing's shock was by no means weaker than that of others, even much stronger.
Because she was actually Chen An's guide, thinking she knew everything about Chen An's progress in cultivation.
But now, when Chen An turned around, he gave her such a big surprise.
This is really hard to say.
"When did this happen?"
Looking at Chen An standing alone on the training ground, Bai Qing suddenly felt that she, as the ruler, was somewhat negligent.
As the ruler, not even knowing the cultivation level of her close retainer, could there be anything more failed than this?
Her mood was complicated, with many thoughts flashing by.
While Bai Qing was lost in thought, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded beside her.
Bai Qing looked over, only to see Bai Mingli.
The old man had been observing the situation on the stage, but after watching the scene in front of him, he suddenly burst into laughter, his face full of joy: "Haha, Qing'er, you really gave this old man a big surprise!"
"I must thank you for sending such a great match for my granddaughter, Lan'er!"
He laughed heartily, looking satisfied, very pleased with himself.
At the beginning, Bai Qing was a bit puzzled by his smile.
What's going on?
Clearly, it's my person who performed outstandingly. Shouldn't I be the one happy?
What are you happy about?
Subconsciously, she had this doubt in her mind, then her face suddenly changed.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that just now, it seemed like she had just reached a verbal agreement with Bai Mingli, intending to have Chen An marry Bai Mingli's granddaughter.
At that time, Bai Qing's idea was not bad, she could use Chen An's marriage to connect with Bai Mingli and develop through the resources of the fourth house.
But things change.
Now the situation was different.
By now, Bai Qing looked up again, astonished to realize that what she had promised was not just an ordinary marriage of subordinates, but the right to marry an extraordinary genius!
A completion of internal energy under twenty years old can be considered a genius anywhere, and whoever holds such a person must carefully protect and be cautious.
Such a person's marriage, under normal circumstances, must be handled with extreme caution and care.
And now, she had given away the marriage of such a genius for a little benefit?
Thinking of this, Bai Qing's expression couldn't help but become erratic, now she wished she could go back and slap herself.
In the end, it was a matter of different importance.
After all, Chen An was not Bai Qing's own, but a close retainer she accepted later, and the relationship was not too stable.
Since the relationship was not absolutely stable, there was a possibility of being swayed.
For the simplest example, when Chen An marries Bai Zhi Lan, if there was a conflict between Bai Qing and Bai Mingli, Chen An, as the son-in-law of the fourth house, would he go to help his father-in-law or his master Bai Qing?
Whose relationship was closer?
Before she didn't worry about this, mainly because she didn't take it too seriously, that's why she operated like this.
But now, seeing it again, there's no need to think too much, it was definitely a loss.
Bai Mingli had gained such a grandson-in-law out of nowhere, how could he not be happy?
Thinking of this, Bai Qing fell silent, her expression gradually becoming gloomy.
At this moment, Bai Mingli's voice continued from the side: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the expression on Bai Qing's face, he smiled and teased, "Are you having regrets?"
"How... how could I?"
For a moment, Bai Qing almost wanted to nod, but in the end, she barely maintained her composure.
Sitting in her seat, she forced a smile, "He is being esteemed by you, grandfather, it is his fortune, how could I possibly regret?"
