Offering my divine power to break my karma

After taking a soul-recovering pill and resting for a while, Lu Renjia and Lu Jiayao's bodies recovered to their best condition. They were ready to take part in the final battle in the foundation-building competition and compete for the second place.

The original order of the match should be that after Ling defeated Lu Renjia, Lu Renjia would play against Lu Jiayao first. Only after Lu Jiayao defeated Lu Renjia would she be eligible to play against Ling. This match would end no matter what.

However, the gap in strength between Zero and the other two was too great, and the result was obvious even without a fight.

Moreover, although Lu Renjia and Lu Jiayao both lost, Ling did not really injure them. The two of them could continue fighting after taking a soul-recovering pill, so there was no problem with the foundation-building competition ending early.

Therefore, the elder in charge of presiding over the competition did not stop Zero from disrupting the order of the competition.

As for why Ling fought with Lu Jiayao in advance?

Well, she is my junior sister after all. It’s okay if she loses to me, but when she loses to someone else, at least she shouldn’t lose too badly.

On the ring, Lu Jiayao and Lu Renjia introduced themselves to each other and prepared to fight.

Below the ring, Ling stood with his two senior brothers, watching the fight quietly.

The top three in the Jindan competition arena are Qingze's second disciple Li Yunji, who is in the great perfection of Jindan, Jin Heng, who is in the late Jindan stage, and Hua Yanjun, who is in the middle Jindan stage.

The outcome of the match seemed obvious given the strength of these three people, but Jin Heng, who was in the late Jindan stage, was born with a sword body and could cross the line to defeat his opponents.

Therefore, we will have to wait until the end of the Jindan competition to know what the ranking is.

The result of the Jindan competition today was that Jin Heng drew a bye, Hua Yanjun faced Li Yunji, and Li Yunji won.

Jin Heng will play against Hua Yanjun tomorrow, and it should be no surprise that Jin Heng will win this match.

Then the day after tomorrow will be the competition for the top spot in the Golden Core realm between Jin Heng and Li Yunji. One has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm, while the other has reached the late Golden Core realm and has a natural sword body. It is hard to guess who will win and who will lose. The expectations are really high.

Ling was thinking in his mind that since he didn't have to compete tomorrow, he must go to the Jindan arena to watch the game and gain some experience. However, his eyes never left the ring. Although it was a bit strenuous, Lu Jiayao was still able to fight back and forth with Lu Renjia.

Well, that was very good. Although the Liushuang sword technique was still clumsy and messy, it was a slight improvement over what she had seen a few days ago.

Although it's only a little bit, it's still progress.

As expected of the heroine, she is gifted and has a strong comprehension ability. She will make progress with just a little guidance. She is a good seedling for cultivation.

So, coming back to the point, how did such a promising youngster get turned into such a loser?

Ling glanced at the two senior brothers beside him with a chilling look. If he remembered correctly, it was the two senior brothers who had been teaching Lu Jiayao how to practice during this period of time!

Although it was very rude, Ling still silently cursed his two senior brothers: trash.

Jin Heng: "?"

Hua Yanjun: "?"

What's going on? Is it windy? Why do I suddenly feel a little chilly?

On the ring, Lu Jiayao, who subconsciously wanted to throw talismans whenever a fight started, suddenly thought of the scene when she was fighting with her senior sister. Her hand paused, and she inexplicably put the talisman back and chose to fight Lu Renjia on the opposite side with her own spirit sword.

Lu Jiayao watched several of her senior sister's games these days, and she seemed to have never seen her use talismans. She always used guns and the techniques she learned to fight her opponents.

Even when competing with Senior Sister Liu who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, Senior Sister Liu never used talismans or other things, and always relied on her spear skills as a spear cultivator.

Although she didn't quite understand her senior sister's behavior, after all, why not use the talisman, but Lu Jiayao had a strong intuition in her heart that as a spear cultivator, her senior sister's behavior was right, not like herself...

Without the assistance of the talisman, Lu Jiayao fought with all her might. Although she was still not proficient in the Liushuang sword technique, she had been knocked down countless times after the match with Ling, which made Lu Jiayao's body's reaction speed much faster.

Although it was very difficult, the improvement was visible to the naked eye and it was no longer like the previous few games.

Although Lu Jiayao won, she was flustered throughout the whole process and did not look like a swordsman in the middle stage of foundation building at all.

As the battle became more intense, Lu Jiayao suffered more and more wounds, but the sword in her hand became tighter and tighter, and her big almond eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, Lu Jiayao only felt that her brain was extremely clear. She was no longer confused like before and would do whatever others told her to do.

The disciples who had watched Lu Jiayao's previous matches were a little surprised to see Lu Jiayao's current performance.

To be honest, I witnessed Lu Jiayao's extreme luck throughout the whole process. She had almost no real strength and relied entirely on talismans, magic tools, and luck to make it to the end.

Although many disciples did not have a bad feeling towards Lu Jiayao because of her personality, appearance, and the inexplicable attraction she had, they still felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

Now that they saw that Lu Jiayao didn't use any talismans or magic weapons, and was fighting fairly well with Lu Renjia, who was in the late stage of foundation building, the disciples felt a little relieved.

However, the two senior brothers felt uncomfortable when they saw their junior sister was injured under the ring.

Looking at Lu Jiayao on the ring, who was already covered in wounds and still struggling to fight, Jin Heng frowned.

"Little Junior Sister, don't you have any talismans?"

Hua Yanjun also frowned and replied:

"How could it be? I stuffed a few more stacks of talismans into Junior Sister's pocket this morning, how could it be gone?"

"If you have it, why don't you use it? And doesn't Junior Sister have many magical instruments? Why don't you use them?"

Jin Heng asked in confusion.

"What is this girl trying to show off? She has talismans and magic tools but she doesn't even know how to use them."

Hua Yanjun was also puzzled by Lu Jiayao's behavior, but his tone was still doting and his eyes were full of worry.

Zero, who listened to the entire conversation between the two, said: "..."

Speechless, rolled eyes.

This is not a life-and-death duel. This kind of competition is obviously very suitable for practical training. It will not endanger lives, but it is not too easy.

Instead of letting Lu Jiayao, a rookie, train properly during such a good opportunity, he is just worrying about this and that.

If the rookie on the stage doesn't train anymore, what will he/she use to compete in the sect competition next year?

Could it be that in front of all the major sects, a sword cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building would be forced to use countless talismans and magical instruments to defeat the opponent?

Not to mention that he is the direct disciple of the Jade Sword Master and a sword practitioner, but he can't even use the sword properly. How embarrassing is that?

For example, in front of a truly powerful person, how long can those talismans and magic weapons last?

What’s more, Lu Jiayao is a newbie who is clumsy when using talismans and magic tools.

It’s true... a kind brother often spoils his sister!

Jin Heng: "..."

Hua Yanjun: "..."
