Just as Lin Xiao was pondering the voice from the ring.
Under the auspices of Sect Leader True Master Ziyun, the competition officially comnced with one-on-one duels.
As luck would have it, Lin Xiao was paired with Zhu Wanning.
As for Ye Chen, he was set to compete against Xu Zhengqing of Dragon Head Peak.
Truthfully, this Senior Brother Xu, as the head disciple of Dragon Head Peak, was considered one of the top talents among the younger generation of the Qinglan Sect. However, compared to Jiang Yuan, the true Eldest Senior Brother of Dragon Head Peak, he was leagues behind. Therefore, Lin Xiao didn't think Xu Zhengqing could defeat Ye Chen in this round. After all, Ye Chen's exceptional skills all stemd from top-tier legacies in the Upper Realm.
As stipulated beforehand, Sword Control was forbidden; the competition was purely a contest of movent techniques.
After the five contestants had put away their swords, they all moved to the front.
The first match, a contest between the head disciple of Phoenix Caw Peak and the head disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, officially began!
Zhu Wanning executed the Seven Star Step, her figure flashing out like lightning!
In an instant, she soared dozens of zhang into the air!
Only a hand's breadth away from the Demon Subduing Ring on the bronze gate!
"So fast!"
"Senior Sister Zhu is too powerful!"
"As expected of the one personally chosen by Sect Leader True Master Ziyun—the most outstanding genius the Qinglan Sect has seen in a century!"
"She's both beautiful and strong! I adore such a senior sister!"
"With Senior Sister Zhu's prowess, she's a strong contender for the next Five Branches Martial et!"
The audience erupted in sounds of amazent.
Many newly initiated disciples stared, starstruck, as if witnessing a goddess descend to the mortal realm.
BANG!
Zhu Wanning reached out her slender hand, plucked the Demon Subduing Ring, then leaped back, landing as gracefully as a swallow amidst the crowd.
The entire audience burst into spontaneous applause!
"Senior Brother Lin, Wanning... I've made a poor showing."
Ignoring the chorus of praise, Zhu Wanning, with her long, elegant legs, strode directly to Lin Xiao's side.
"Junior Sister Zhu, you're too modest. I'm not sure I could best you either."
Lin Xiao replied politely.
At that mont, the three junior sisters by his side rushed up and simultaneously grasped his hand, their faces etched with worry.
"Alright, Junior Sisters, you know your Eldest Senior Brother. I never enter a fight I'm not confident of winning."
Lin Xiao chuckled and was about to step forward when a tall, stunning figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Xiao'er, just do your best," Xiao Hongling said, her expression worried.
"You've already won the Five Branches Martial et and earned True Monarch Taiwu's esteem, making you the foremost among the younger generation. The reputation of our Divine Phoenix Peak won't be tarnished by such a minor contest, understand?"
"Also... your "Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step" is indeed a profound movent technique, but it's designed for combat, not for contests of speed."
She could naturally sense that Zhu Wanning had used her full strength just now—a display on a completely different level compared to her match against Guo Yourong during the Five Branches Martial et!
"Haha, Master, do you truly believe your disciple has been rely idling away on Divine Phoenix Peak for over a decade?"
"There are many things... you're unaware of."
"Relax, my good Master."
Lin Xiao winked at her.
He wasn't actually exaggerating. Having played the villain for over a decade, the lousy system had cramd him with a plethora of cultivation arts and secret manuals. However, to maintain his persona as a re lackey, he, Lin Xiao, had kept them all tucked away in his storage space.
Imdiately after his awakening during the Five Branches Martial et, he had spent the entire night assimilating all the essential techniques!
Among them was an active movent technique just as formidable as the passive "Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step"!
Instantly, his handso eyes turned sharp. He took a step, and True Qi erupted from his body, coalescing into crackling, incandescent lightning!
The next mont, before the astonished eyes of everyone present—including the Elders and Chairn—the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak transford into a bolt of lightning, streaking a hundred zhang into the sky!
The entire process took but a fleeting instant! Unbelievably fast!
Before anyone could react, the Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak, whose fa had recently soared, was already standing in the midst of the crowd, iron ring in hand. He had descended from the top of the bronze gate like a living thunderbolt, trailing sparks and lightning!
That petty Lin Xiao... he's truly not simple! We can't let him continue like this! This ti, when we enter the Sword Tomb and find that esteed person, we must ask for their guidance to utterly eliminate him!
Ye Chen, the young man in black beside them, clenched his fists.
Seeing Lin Xiao already holding the iron ring, standing in the center of the crowd, a stunned silence fell. Everyone seed frozen, like statues.
What an earth-shattering movent technique!
If Zhu Wanning's movent technique monts ago had pushed the limits of what cultivators at her level could achieve, then the movent technique displayed by this Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak had shattered the very constraints of cultivation realms! It was no less profound than that of Nascent Soul old eccentrics capable of forming their Nascent Soul externally and having their Spirit Body migrate!
"Wow! Eldest Senior Brother, what movent technique was that just now?" Little Junior Sister Lu Yingying was the first to rush forward, her eyes sparkling.
"Hahahaha, that's a secret for now. Perhaps another day."
Lin Xiao ruffled her hair, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. Heh, as if I'd tell you I've mastered 'Three Thousand Thunder,' a supre movent technique from another world?
Lin Xiao gently patted Lu Yingying's cheek and was about to walk towards his Master when he noticed sothing.
This little minx... she must have done it on purpose. From this angle, her collar is cut deliberately low, and she isn't wearing... Sigh, this girl has completely changed. She definitely needs so strict discipline later!
