"How did Ling'er become so amazing?"

Li Ru asked with a look of surprise.

She knew her son had a great talent for inscription, but she never expected him to be so good at it in actual combat.

It has also condensed such a powerful secret technique!

"Master Ziling taught me the best!"

Zhou Shan thought for a moment and said.

He used to spend many years searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains. When he encountered monsters, he mostly relied on the Great Yang Fist to fight them.

But now it seems that he is not as skilled as his son.

Therefore, he guessed that his son must have received guidance from his master to reach such a level.

After all, even if my son practiced the Great Yang Fist every day, he wouldn't be able to achieve this level of proficiency at his age.

"Then we really have to thank Master Ziling!"

Li Ru nodded, feeling that this was the only way to explain it, since no matter how talented her son was, he couldn't possibly be self-taught.

He secretly thought to himself that he should brew several more jars of good wine for Ziling when he got back.

"I haven't actually used any of the things my master taught me yet!"

Hearing his parents' conversation, Zhou Ling, who had been cultivating for more than ten cycles and whose spiritual power had been mostly restored, thought to himself.

Of course, the reason why the Five Elements Spirit Flame was able to condense was also because of the "Five Elements Qianyang True Technique" given by the master.

As for actual combat, Zhou Ling mainly improved by fighting against monsters and opponents in the [Illusion Simulation].

Although most of his opponents in this battle were at a higher level than him, not to mention He Zijian, who was a combat powerhouse at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

But even among disciples like He Lingyun, who were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, none of them were easy to deal with.

However, having gained practical experience from the [Illusion Simulation], and knowing his actual combat strength, Zhou Ling still felt confident when facing a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After all, the [Illusion Simulation] is exactly the same as the life-and-death trials.

Of course, there were also drawbacks in this process.

If Zhou Ling is killed in it, his soul will also experience excruciating pain as if it were being torn apart.

Therefore, it's best to exit safely.

"Xin'er, how did you discover the weakness in the opponent's protective aura?"

At this moment, Wang Xin had already defeated her opponent and returned to the rest area.

Wang Yu asked with a look of surprise.

Xin'er's opponent in this competition is much stronger than in the first round.

The resulting Vajra shield was even stronger than a typical first-grade high-quality robe.

But it was actually pierced through by Xin'er's talisman sword.

When did Xin'er develop such amazing observational skills?

Moreover, even with her Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual cultivation, she couldn't easily discover the weak points in the opponent's protective aura.

"Mother, I don't know either. I just focused my attention and noticed it naturally!"

Xin'er hadn't lied much, and as soon as she finished speaking, her pretty face turned bright red, and she looked at Zhou Ling with her big, bright eyes pleadingly.

Zhou Ling had specifically told her not to tell anyone.

Fortunately, Wang Yu didn't ask any more questions and told Wang Xin to rest.

Wang Xin then sat down on the futon next to Zhou Ling and whispered, "Brother Ling, you're amazing!"

Zhou Ling looked pleased and patted his chest, "Of course!"

"Xin'er, take a rest for a while, and I'll analyze the afternoon's opponent for you!"

"Mm!" Xin'er nodded, then sat cross-legged, took the pill, and began to recover.

Zhou Ling's gaze swept towards the competition stage.

Using the talents of [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], observe carefully.

Wang Xin's next opponent is a sword cultivator. Although he has not yet comprehended sword intent, he is calm, cautious, and steady.

He was extremely skilled in using the Lotus Sword Technique, and Zhou Ling felt that he had already reached the first level of mastery.

With a single sword strike, he could create three sword lotuses, demonstrating considerable strength.

Moreover, if fully unleashed, it could even unleash four sword lotuses.

"It will be quite difficult for Xin'er to defeat this sword cultivator using only sword talismans!"

"However, setting up the Hundred Swords Formation shouldn't be too difficult!"

Based on the intermediate analysis just now, Zhou Ling, taking into account Xin'er's situation, secretly analyzed the situation in his mind.

If she defeats this person, she will enter the top 16, so Xin'er no longer needs to hide her strength.

We still need to ensure we have the strength to win.

Using the Hundred Swords Formation, combined with his observation of several obvious weaknesses in his opponent.

"Xin'er still has a very good chance of winning!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

His opponent in the next round is a beast tamer with the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He has two late-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts in his possession.

One is a sword-claw wolf that focuses on attack, and the other is a tricolor butterfly that focuses on speed and concealing its aura.

The two complement each other, and their combined power is considerable.

However, Zhou Ling's [Beast Pressure] is now at the second level, and with the assistance of his powerful divine soul, he is able to detect the existence of the three-colored butterfly.

Therefore, he wasn't too worried about this opponent.

Instead, the fact that he will be facing his opponent tomorrow will make him take it seriously.

This opponent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is none other than Li Yinfeng.

And it happens to be a crucial battle for advancing to the quarterfinals.

Zhou Ling had just watched Li Yinfeng's match.

This child's blood spirit root is becoming increasingly strange. In the battle just now, it even triggered a strange blood demon phenomenon, directly suppressing the opponent.

This leaves the opponent with no chance to retaliate.

"This blood spirit root is indeed very strange!"

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

However, he was naturally not afraid.

At noon, all the competitions had ended, and the remaining thirty-two disciples were able to rest until late afternoon.

Then the third round of the competition began.

The quarterfinals will be decided tomorrow morning, and the semifinals will be decided in the afternoon.

The day after tomorrow is the day to determine the champion of this competition.

Although it was already noon and it was June, the weather was unusually hot and humid.

But the square was shrouded in a magic circle.

The people in the rest area did not feel stuffy at all; on the contrary, they felt a cool breeze.

Li Ru took out the food box from the storage bag.

Spirit rice, fried beast meat, spirit chicken medicinal soup, spirit fruits and vegetables, etc., are all valuable spiritual foods specially prepared for my son.

Zhou Ling was already hungry, so she grabbed the food box and started eating.

Wang Yu also prepared two food boxes, with more exquisite food and more abundant spiritual energy.

Because of two major battles in succession in the morning.

Most of the disciples were eliminated, leaving significantly fewer people.

However, due to the abundance of spiritual energy in the Lingxia Sect.

Many people stayed behind.

Most of the disciples who continued the competition in the afternoon sat cross-legged in the rest area after lunch to recover their internal magical power.

Zhou Ling and Wang Xin had already recovered.

Zhou Ling then quietly described the situation of their opponent that afternoon to Wang Xin.

None of those who made it to the third round were easy to deal with.

Moreover, most of them are disciples at the eighth level of Qi Refining, or those who have been at the seventh level of Qi Refining for some time.

Wang Xin, for example, has been at the seventh level of Qi Refining for almost a year, and is only one step away from the eighth level.

There is only one person at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Zhou Ling.

Moreover, he was a disciple of a wandering monk.

Therefore, it stands out even more.

Fortunately, both of them were lucky and did not encounter the four seeded players at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Based on the ranking of the opponents, the four disciples at the ninth level of Qi Refining will be the seeded players.

To prevent the four of them from meeting prematurely.

So if you make it to the quarterfinals, you'll basically face one of these four players.

However, Zhou Ling was not worried about these things.

If Xin'er can make it into the top eight, coupled with her outstanding performance in the skills assessment, it will be enough to guarantee her entry into Xuan Yuan Dao Academy. After all, Xuan Yuan Dao Academy places even greater emphasis on skills assessment.

The contest of skills is just a reference.

Moreover, Xin'er also demonstrated powerful array formation abilities in this battle of magic.

Therefore, as long as you make it into the top eight, you are guaranteed to enter the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy.

······.

clang!clang!clang!
As the melodious and ancient sound began.

The third round of competition has begun!

Zhou Ling's opponent is named Chen Nan, who is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and is a Beast Tamer.

Originally, he commanded two late-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts, making him quite powerful.

However, in the battle that morning, the sword-clawed wolf was seriously injured, and its combat strength was greatly reduced.

As for the other tricolor butterfly, it posed no threat to Zhou Ling whatsoever.

Zhou Ling simply unleashed a regular palm strike of fire and lightning, combined with [Beast Pressure], and directly defeated the two beasts.

The boy had no choice but to admit defeat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he finished the battle.

Zhou Ling returned to the rest area, and Zhou Shan and his wife now knew their son's strength.

I'm not as worried as I was this morning.

"This kid's fighting strength is probably underestimated. I think getting into the top eight won't be a problem!"

Watching Zhou Ling walk off the competition stage with ease, Instructor Xiao said with a look of praise.

"What does it matter if we make it into the top eight? I've already been accepted into my Xuan Yuan Dao Academy!"

Seeing that Instructor Xiao still seemed to be staring at Zhou Ling, Instructor Hu also reminded him.

"The disciples from Lingxia Immortal City are all quite good this year, and the competition for the top eight tomorrow will be even more intense!"

"Zhou Ling is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so it will be difficult for him to advance further!"

"I don't think so. This kid is very clever. I think he can make it into the top eight!"

"Fellow Daoist Hu, if he makes it into the top eight, how about you give him to my Flying Dragon Battle Academy?"

"no!"

The judges on the panel were discussing quietly.

Zhou Ling returned to the rest area, greeted his parents, and then focused on Wang Xin's competition.

Wang Xin's opponent was a boy named Cao Jin.

He wielded a cyan magic sword and unleashed three sword lotus attacks with a single strike, though he had not yet mastered sword intent.

Its power was equally impressive; one sword strike after another was incredibly sharp, and its power was in no way inferior to a late-stage first-tier spell.

Wang Xin immediately activated her personal sword formation, following Zhou Ling's instructions.

It condenses into a sword beam to attack.

Both sides went all out from the very beginning in this match.

The swords flashed and crisscrossed on the arena.

Although Cao Jin tried his best to use his sword technique, he managed to condense four sword lotuses to attack.

Compared to the twenty sword beams condensed by Wang Xin's sword formation, it quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Furthermore, Wang Xin has already roughly figured out the weaknesses of its sword lotus.

Therefore, at the moment Cao Jin switched from offense to defense, Wang Xin keenly grasped the weakness of the sword lotus that Zhou Ling had mentioned.

Take decisive action.

The moment the opponent's defensive sword lotus took shape, the sword light slashed, and several gusts of wind tore through the air, shattering the opponent's sword lotus defense that had not yet been formed.

Although the sword lotus was shattered, Cao Jin did not panic and immediately used a sword technique to reassemble it.

However, in an instant, Wang Xin's sword formation condensed into a huge sword light, unleashing a powerful attack.

He slashed directly at his opponent.

boom!
With a single sword strike, dust billowed up!

This time, Cao Jin could no longer hold on and was blasted off the competition stage.

"Wang Xinsheng!"

As the judges' voices faded.

Wang Xin then stepped off the competition platform, panting heavily; clearly, this battle had taken a toll on her.

Back in the rest area, Wang Yu quickly took out a Qi-regulating pill, gave it to her, and had her sit quietly to recover.

Zhou Ling, meanwhile, continued to observe the situation of Wang Xin's next opponent.

In arena number ten, the two were still fighting, but the girl whose body could change unpredictably was clearly in the lead.

This woman possesses the wind elemental root and is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Her magical attacks are extremely fast; she hits and runs, never engaging in prolonged combat.

Her opponent was an earth-attribute boy. Although he was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he was unable to defend against the girl's speed and could only passively take hits.

In the end, they had no choice but to surrender!

Zhou Ling was not too worried about this opponent.

After all, Xin'er's sword formation attack range has now reached seven or eight zhang, as long as the opponent is covered within the sword formation.

No matter how unpredictable her movements are, she can't escape.

So there's no need for any tactics, just go straight into battle.

After Xin'er recovered, the other matches were also nearing their end.

In less than half an hour, the top 16 teams were decided.

Then, on the judges' panel, the Lingxia Sect leader, who was in charge of the competition, announced the details of tomorrow's matches to everyone.

Zhou Ling's opponent is none other than Li Yinfeng!
Afterwards, Wang Yu discussed tomorrow's tactics with them before leaving Lingxia Sect.

······.

In the evening, Zhou Ling finished dinner and returned to her room.

Then, the [Illusion Simulation] was activated. This time, the opponent was Li Yinfeng, whom I had seen on the competition stage today.

Upon seeing that it was Zhou Ling, Li Yinfeng didn't waste any words. He accelerated and threw a punch directly at Zhou Ling.

The fist's energy roared, condensing into a blood-red vortex, within which a devouring power emanated.

Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened slightly. At this moment, he felt that this power was even stronger than Li Mu's Black Fiend Fist.

Zhou Ling then unleashed the Great Yang Technique, gathering dazzling Great Yang Fist energy to directly confront the Black Fiend Fist.

Rumble!
The two powerful forces clashed fiercely, and neither gained the upper hand for the time being.

As the two clashed, a powerful vortex of blood energy condensed within the Blood Fiend Fist's aura, frantically devouring the blood energy power on Zhou Ling's body.

Zhou Ling's blood and qi suddenly stagnated. Originally, with the help of the Five Elements Spirit Flame, he was not afraid of the evil poison contained in the Black Fiend Fist.

However, this devouring power caused his blood and energy to drain away rapidly and involuntarily, and his whole body began to stiffen.

This is the effect of the opponent's Blood Spirit Root activating its fist energy, which can suppress and devour the opponent's blood energy.
In terms of using the Great Yang Fist against the Black Fiend Fist, Zhou Ling held an absolute advantage.

Moreover, after multiple [illusion simulations], Zhou Ling had already mastered the Black Fiend Fist, and no change could escape his eyes.

However, now that Li Yinfeng's Black Fiend Fist is enhanced by the Blood Spirit Root, its attack effect is significantly different.

If this continues, the Great Yang Fist will soon be suppressed.

Moreover, one's own blood and energy will be rapidly depleted, and combat power will decline sharply.

Ultimately, it will also fail.

Zhou Ling felt his body becoming increasingly heavy, and dared not delay, so he did his best to activate the blazing sun essence blood that had been condensed within his body.

As if a blazing sun were rising within him, a powerful and fierce force condensed and surged forth like a raging torrent, unleashing a punch like a miniature sun towards his opponent.

At the same time, Li Yinfeng's blood energy also erupted.

A powerful and incredibly fast fist strike was unleashed.

boom!
Two terrifying fist energies clashed violently!

······.

"what!"

On the wooden bed, Zhou Ling, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly let out a scream, then opened his eyes, his forehead covered in sweat.

The [Illusion Simulation] he just experienced almost completely depleted his spiritual energy.

[You are currently practicing the Great Yang Fist. Your physique has evolved by +1, your blood energy by +2, and your constitution by +2.]

[You are currently engaged in a simulated battle within an illusion. Illusion Simulation +1, Divine Sense +2]

[You are currently practicing the Great Sun Fist. Blazing Sun Blood Circulation +1, Great Sun Fist Power +1, Blazing Sun Essence Blood +1]

[Effect: The Blazing Sun Blood Transfer talent reaches Tier 2, allowing the body to condense 100 drops of Blazing Sun essence blood, thus gathering the power of the Blazing Sun]

[Note: This technique, imbued with the essence of the Blazing Sun Fist, exerts immense pressure on the opponent.]

[Total number of times blood has been moved: 101/1000]

"The [Blazing Sun Blood Transfer] talent has reached the second tier, and it has even condensed the power of the blazing sun!"

Feeling the obvious changes in the blood and qi within his body, Zhou Ling was overjoyed.
