"Brother Ling is amazing!"

Back in the rest area, Wang Xin said with a happy expression.

Kazilan's big, watery eyes were full of smiles, as if she was even happier than if she had won herself.

"Ling-ge'er, congratulations."

Wang Yu also looked quite surprised as she spoke.

Although I knew that Zhou Ling's strength would be considerable under Zi Ling's tutelage, I never expected that Zhou Ling would be able to enter the top four.

They displayed combat power that exceeded her expectations.

After all, they had only been cultivating at Maple Leaf Mountain for less than a year.

Furthermore, considering that Zhou Ling only possesses a low-grade spiritual root, his progress is truly astonishing!

Beside her, Li Ru's eyes were slightly red, and she was very excited. She never expected that her son would actually make it to the top four.

They were even able to defeat the four top disciples of Lingxia Immortal City.

Zhou Shan gently patted Zhou Ling's shoulder, too excited to speak.

"Ling'er, are you alright?" Li Ru asked with concern.

"Mother, I'm perfectly fine!"

Zhou Ling said with a broad smile.

Defeating Kong Jili and entering the semi-finals will qualify you for the reward.

Although the rule states that the third place is the only one, there are two spots for third place, so as long as you make it to the top four, you will receive a reward.

With the reward, Zhou Ling felt that the exertion of the afternoon's battle was worthwhile.

Moreover, because of Kong Jili, he has condensed a new talent, [Thunderous Aura], which can be used to assist in attack and defense.

Although the situation is still unclear.

But if they're associated with the Thunder, it's probably not much different.

"Zhou Ling, congratulations!"

A short while later, He Zijian also came over to congratulate him.

Behind him, He Lingyun looked pale and listless.

"How is Lingyun doing?"

Zhou Ling asked with concern.

He Lingyun shook her head and said helplessly, "We still lost!"

"The opponent is skilled in soul attacks and has strong defense, so the Haoyang Bird's attack did not cause him much damage."

"I was accidentally attacked by a divine attack, so I have no choice but to admit defeat!"

Seeing that He Lingyun seemed somewhat unwilling, Zhou Ling didn't know what to say.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, since He Lingyun's goal is Tianxia Dao Academy.

It would be very difficult for the best academy in the Dao Alliance to not make it into the top four.

"Little sister, you don't need to worry too much. After all, you only lost in terms of spiritual power!"

"Moreover, among the top four this time, I plan to go to the Flying Dragon Battle Academy, while Jin Sheng will definitely go to the Nine Heavens Sword Academy."

"And Zhou Ling passed the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy's assessment, so you still have a great chance!"

"Moreover, your spirit beast, the Haoyang Bird, has great potential and is expected to reach the fourth tier in the future, which is also a significant advantage!"

He Zijian smiled and comforted He Lingyun.

Upon hearing this, He Lingyun's pretty face lit up with joy, feeling that her elder brother's analysis made a lot of sense.

"Zhou Ling, be careful if you encounter Nan Feng tomorrow; his soul attacks are rather strange!"

After calming down, He Lingyun smiled and reminded Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling nodded. The "Qinghui Nourishing Spirit Technique" he cultivated was of a high grade, and it was aided by two talents: "Soul Training" and "Soul Like a Blade".

It won't be so easy for the opponent to defeat him in terms of spiritual power.

"Little sister, whether it's me or Zhou Ling who runs into him tomorrow, I'll help you get revenge!"

He Zijian said with a smile.

He had always thought Zhou Ling would make it into the top four, and now that things had turned out as he expected, he couldn't help but think even more highly of Zhou Ling.

Moreover, Zhou Ling is capable of refining soul imprints, so his spiritual cultivation is naturally not weak either.

That's why he said that.

Of course, my main purpose was to comfort the girl.

"Brother, Zhou Ling, whoever defeats Nan Feng, I'll treat you to dinner!"

He Lingyun smiled and nodded.

"Okay, it's a deal."

"We'll be in the semifinals tomorrow, and then we'll have to draw lots again. We don't know who will face Nanfeng." "As long as the two of us don't go up against each other, that'll be fine."

He Zijian laughed heartily.

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded.

Obviously, facing Nan Feng would be much better than encountering He Zijian or Jin Sheng.

It's hard to say what would happen if he encountered Jin Sheng, but if he didn't use his Beast Flame technique against He Zijian, he definitely wouldn't be a match for him.

Therefore, for him, Nanfeng was the most ideal location.

They might even make it to the finals.

The rewards for the top two places are far greater than those for the third and fourth places.

However, the specific situation will depend on the results of tomorrow's draw.

Then, everyone took their leave.

······.

Upon returning home, Zhou Ling went straight to his room and took the Qi-Harmony Pill and the Blood Essence Pill.

Restore the body's magical power and blood energy.

[You are refining the Blood Essence Pill. Medicinal stress +1, Blood Essence Pill efficacy +2]

[You are refining the Qi Harmony Pill. Medicinal stress response +1, Qi Harmony Pill efficacy +2]

[You are currently circulating your vital essence, restoring you to full health +1, recovery speed +2]

By evening, Zhou Ling felt that his spiritual energy had recovered to 70% and his blood energy had recovered to most of its original level. He should be fully recovered by tomorrow.

Then I felt my stomach growling, so I went out of the room.

The moon was already high in the sky, and its bright light shone into the courtyard, making it exceptionally bright.

The hall was quiet; both parents had gone to bed.

But there was food left on the table, packed in a food box.

Zhou Ling opened the food box; the meat and medicinal soup were still steaming.

Zhou Lingxuan immediately started eating.

After finishing her meal, Zhou Ling returned to her room.

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, I felt that I wasn't very sleepy.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately activated [Illusion Simulation].

This time, he plans to simulate a match against Kim Seung.

No matter who our opponent is tomorrow?
This person has grasped the essence of swordsmanship and is definitely a good opponent to improve one's combat skills.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The scene on the competition stage appeared.

Kim Seung-jung stood proudly on the competition platform.

"My name is Zhou Ling!"

"Jin Sheng!"

After briefly stating his name, Zhou Lingxuan immediately activated the Hundred Swords Formation.

Five magical swords shot out, circling around his body, instantly transforming into streams of five-colored sword energy that followed a specific trajectory, whistling down and condensing into a rain of sword light, scattering towards Jin Sheng.

The swordplay was astonishing.

Clearly, its power is far greater than the Hundred Swords Formation that Wang Xin used.

Not only is the quantity of sword beams condensed superior, but the quality of the sword energy is also a cut above.

But then, Jin Sheng let out a cold shout and pointed his finger, sending his fiery red magic sword flying out.

Then, the magic sword soared into the air, unleashing a sea of ​​fiery sword shadows, its sword energy vast and intensely powerful.

It also contains a fierce, annihilating sword intent.

Then, a sea of ​​fiery swords swept towards the sword net, and the five-colored sword beams were immediately shattered by the sharp and scorching sword beams.

Jin Sheng focused his mind again and pointed, the fiery sword light continued to slash down fiercely, the sea of ​​fiery swords carrying the sword intent of incineration and slashing into the sword net with unstoppable force.

"Boom boom!"

The fiery sword light and the five-colored sword light intertwined and clashed, with continuous bangs, and a terrifying sword aura whistled and flashed.

After several breaths, the five-colored sword net was finally defeated.

[You are observing the Furnace Sword Technique. Intermediate Observation +1, Incineration Sword Intent +1]

[You are analyzing the Furnace Sword Technique. Intermediate Analysis +1, Extinguishing Sword Intent +1]

"Incinerate the sword intent!"

Upon seeing the prompt, Zhou Ling was suddenly overjoyed.
