So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Lei Tingyi's performance in the preliminary round was stunning. He challenged several disciples in succession. No matter they were veteran disciples with profound cultivation or emerging rookies, none of them could gain any advantage against him.

When the bell for the last match rang, announcing the end of the preliminary round, Lei Tingyi slowly walked down the ring.

There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes revealed determination and confidence.

But this is just the beginning, the real challenge is yet to come.

Lei Shi looked at Lei Tingyi who was walking down the stage and spoke with a smile.

"I didn't expect that during this period of time, Junior Brother's cultivation has made great progress. It's really impressive."

Remi also joked.

"You know, before Junior Brother went to Juling City, he had been stagnant at the peak of the Golden Core stage for two years, without any signs of a breakthrough. After going to Juling City and meeting Miss Ling, he reached the Spirit Severing stage in less than a year. It seems that Miss Ling is the one who brought him the most blessings!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyi showed an awkward smile on his face.

He looked at Ling Jiuan and found that she was also looking at him with a smile.

He felt warm in his heart, knowing that the results of his practice during this period were not only due to his own efforts, but also because some of Ling Jiuan's words gave him an epiphany.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior brothers. I just did what I should do."

Lei Tingyi responded modestly.

"Also, the road of cultivation is still long, and I cannot become complacent just because of a temporary victory. In the next competition, I will work harder and strive to win more honors for the Lei Xiao Sect."

Remi and Lei Shi smiled at each other.

They knew that this junior brother was not only powerful, but also had a heart that constantly pursued progress.

After Lei Shi and Remi left, the crowd around the ring gradually dispersed, leaving only Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan.

Ling Jiuan looked at Lei Tingyi, his eyes flashing with concern.

"Are you tired? Although the preliminary round is over, the next round will be even more difficult."

Lei Tingyi shook his head and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"I'm not tired, just a little excited. Today's game makes me look forward to the next challenge even more."

Ling Jiuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and thought secretly in his heart.

She knew that although Lei Tingyi looked relaxed on the surface, he must have put in a lot of effort to achieve his current results.

After a while, Lei Tingyi suggested.

"I'll take you to the back mountain to practice. The environment there is quiet and peaceful, and the spiritual energy is abundant. It's a good place to practice. We'll come and watch the finals of the sect competition."

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She knew that Lei Tingyi's suggestion was not only to provide her with a better environment for cultivation, but also to allow her to relax and adjust her state.

So, she nodded.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

The two smiled at each other and walked towards the back mountain.

Not far away, the two maids Liuzhu and Liuying quietly watched their master Ling Jiuan leaving with Lei Tingyi, with a hint of helplessness and smile in their eyes.

"Since the master recovered from his injury, he has been very busy. He either went to the library to read books or went around with Master Lei. He almost forgot about us."

Liu Zhu complained softly, but there was no real blame in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Liuying chuckled, with a gentle light flashing in her eyes.

"That's good too. Young Master Lei is a good match. We are relieved that our master can be with him."

Liu Zhu nodded in agreement.

They all knew that the friendship between Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi was not formed overnight.

Ever since that rescue, the relationship between the two has gradually become subtle.

Now, seeing them getting along so well, Liuzhu and Liuying both feel very relieved.

"I hope the master will be happy." Liuying said softly, her eyes full of blessings.

Ling Jiuan and Lei Tingyi came to the back mountain together. The environment here was quiet, the trees were lush, and the air was filled with a faint spiritual energy.

Ling Jiuan looked around and found that there was no one here, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"There is so much spiritual energy here, why doesn't anyone come here to practice?"

Lei Tingyi smiled softly when he heard this.

"This is usually where the injured disciples of the Lei Xiao Sect recuperate, so few people come to disturb them. Don't worry about practicing here, no one will disturb you."

After hearing this, Ling Jiuan suddenly understood.

She nodded and looked at Lei Tingyi gratefully.

"I see. Thank you for bringing me here. I will cherish this opportunity and practice hard."

Lei Tingyi looked at Ling Jiuan's serious expression and just smiled.

"You're welcome. We are friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other. Also, I hope you can become stronger so that we can go to more places to train together."

The two smiled at each other, and then began their respective training.

Ling Jiuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock, closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy.

She took a deep breath, slowly absorbed the spiritual energy into her body, and began to practice her own cultivation method.

Three days later, outside the mountain gate of Lei Xiao Sect, Yu Lingxi, Chen Yan and Pei Ling slowly arrived.

Yu Lingxi held tightly in her hand a token engraved with exquisite patterns. It was the symbol of the Yu family and also the proof of her visit.

She walked up to the gatekeeper disciple, handed him the token politely, and spoke softly.

"I am Yu Lingxi from the Yu family, and I have come to visit you specially. These two are my friends, Chen Yan and Pei Ling. They are also friends of your young master."

The gatekeeper disciple took the token, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a look of respect appeared on his face.

He bowed quickly.

"So you are the distinguished guests of the Yu family. I am so sorry for the disrespect. Please follow me. I will take you to see the young master."

Yu Lingxi nodded and looked at the gatekeeper disciple with gratitude.

She turned and said to Chen Yan and Pei Ling.

"Let's go. It looks like we can meet Lei Tingyi smoothly this time."

The three followed the gatekeeper disciple, passed through the mountain gate of Lei Xiao Sect, and walked forward along the winding mountain road.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery of Lei Xiao Sect and felt the unique atmosphere here.

Soon, they arrived at the inner gate area of ​​Lei Xiao Sect.

The gatekeeper disciple brought them to a magnificent hall and spoke respectfully.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the young master."

After saying this, he turned and walked into the hall.

After a while, Lei Tingyi hurried out with a look of surprise on his face.

When he saw Yu Lingxi and the other two, he hurried over to greet them.

"Lingxi, why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance so that I could go and greet you."

Yu Lingxi smiled.

"We wanted to come and see you, and bring you some news from home. Also, Chen Yan and Pei Ling wanted to see how your friend is doing."
