One night, in the darkness, he sat cross-legged beneath a tree in the courtyard, his eyes closed, his expression solemn. A powerful wave of energy permeated his surroundings.

As the Yuan force continued to gather, Chen Han felt a pressure spreading across his body.

Suddenly, Chen Han's inner energy surged like a tide, reaching a critical point. With a loud bang, it was as if an invisible barrier had been breached by his own energy. Chen Han's body trembled slightly, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

At this moment, Chen Han successfully broke through to the late Yuanhai realm.

Chen Han opened his eyes and stood up, feeling the stronger power in his body. He said, "My physical strength is 9,200 kilograms. Sister Jingzi, I have made a breakthrough."

The Dark Ring in the mirror responded, "Yes, the breakthrough was timely. Now you have a certain ability to protect yourself."

The next second, Chen Han frowned, "Speaking of which, Sister Jingzi, that sect competition... are we really going to go?"

The mirror flickered faintly and said, "Of course you have to go. After all, you've been targeted. If you run away now, there will be more trouble hidden in the dark later. This is a challenge, and challenges also contain adventures. What are you afraid of with me here?"

After listening to Ming Jie's words, Chen Han pondered for a moment and nodded: "Sister Jingzi is right. I will do my best, but I can't take it lightly."

"That's right. Be prepared these days. It's getting late, so take a rest."

"Ah."

...

Time flew by, and soon the day of the inner sect's sect competition finally arrived. The entire sect was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.

The martial arts arena was bustling with people, many disciples rubbing their hands, eager to try. Chen Han stood in the crowd, his expression calm, but his heart was not at ease.

With the sound of a bell, the sect competition officially began. The presiding elder stepped onto the stage and announced the rules and rewards. Inner disciples who achieved outstanding results would receive precious treasures, while outer disciples would have the opportunity to enter the inner sect and gain access to better training resources.

Then all the disciples in the field applauded.

"Sister Mirror, you really have a way. This way I can get away." Chen Han smiled as he looked at Mingjie at this moment.

At this time, the soul body of Mingjie used the Hundred Transformations Technique to transform into the appearance of a female inner disciple of the sect, holding Xiao Mengyue's hand.

"I've already told you this secret technique is very useful and flexible. Just focus on your performance today. I'll be watching over Xiao Mengyue."

Soon, one showdown after another began on the stage...

The competition is based on a winning streak system. The more consecutive wins you have, the richer the rewards you will get. If the champion is defeated, the current winning streak reward of the champion will be won by the challenger, and the winning streak will be reset.

At this time, a male inner disciple in the late Yuanhai stage on the stage had won three consecutive games.

"Would you like to continue your winning streak and increase your stakes, or take the treasures as a reward for three consecutive wins and leave?" the female disciple in charge asked with a smile.

At this time, the audience was very excited, and they all said, "Keep defending! Keep defending!"

The Yuanhai disciple thought for a moment and raised his hand, saying, "I choose to continue defending the ring."

"Okay!" The presiding disciple nodded slightly upon seeing this.

But not long after, at this moment, two people suddenly flew over from the air not far away, their figures getting closer and closer and then falling down. They were Han Mengyun and Ye Mingci.

As soon as Ye Mingci appeared, he immediately revealed the pressure of the five Taoist flowers. The disciples in the field immediately exclaimed: "So powerful!"

The powerful pressure instantly made the atmosphere in the entire martial arts arena tense. Chen Han looked at the two people in the sky, his heart tightening. He knew that Han Mengyun's appearance must be no good.

"What a strong talent." Mingjie couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chen Han's heart tightened when he heard this.

The elders on the viewing platform showed expressions of relief when they saw Ye Mingci display the power of the five Taoist flowers.

A white-haired elder stroked his beard and said, "This boy has extraordinary talent and a promising future."

Another elder nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, at such a young age, he already has five Dao Flowers. Given time, he will surely become a great man, a famous porcelain with the potential to become an emperor."

"It seems that our sect is going to have another outstanding disciple." Another elder said with a smile.

Han Mengyun looked towards Chen Han with a smile on her face and nodded slightly, saying, "Junior Brother Chen Han, how are you? By the way, Junior Brother, who is she?" She looked at the Ming Ring beside her.

Chen Han just glanced at her coldly and said, "My friend."

Han Mengyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Chen Han felt a wave of disgust, not wanting to get entangled with her any further. He turned his gaze and saw the defender on the stage, and something clicked in his mind. To escape Han Mengyun's sight, Chen Han leaped without hesitation, directly onto the martial arts stage.

The presiding disciple was slightly startled, then reacted and said, "Outer sect disciple, are you going to challenge the defender?"

Chen Han stepped forward and bowed, "Junior brother, I'm sure."

As soon as Chen Han finished speaking, the disciples in the audience began to laugh and talk.

"Hmph, a mere outer sect disciple dares to challenge the superior inner sect disciples. You are really overestimating yourself." An inner sect disciple said with disdain.

"That's right. The gap between outer disciples and inner disciples is huge. This kid is too arrogant." Another disciple echoed.

"I guess this outer disciple is crazy about becoming famous, and doesn't even consider his own abilities."

"Just wait and see him get beaten to a pulp." Many disciples were in the mood to watch the joke.

Han Mengyun and Mu Qing stared at the stage as if they were looking forward to the show.

Chen Han listened to the laughter from the audience, his expression indifferent. He gently circulated his Yuanli, and instantly emanated a pressure that belonged to the middle stage of Yuanhai. He did not display the strength of the late Yuanhai realm.

This sudden change stunned everyone present.

The disciples who had just been laughing at Chen Han now opened their mouths wide in disbelief. "How... is this possible? An outer disciple actually possesses the strength of a mid-stage Yuan Hai!"

"It's so unexpected. Did we make a mistake?"

The opinions of the crowd in the audience changed instantly. "This outer sect disciple is no ordinary person."

"It seems we can't underestimate the people from the outer sect."

Even the elders on the stage were shocked. One of the elders narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Han carefully, then sighed and said, "He has good talent, but it's a pity that he is practicing useless skills. It will be difficult for him to achieve great things." The other elders also nodded in regret.

The disciple defending the ring, who had just looked at Chen Han with contempt, became serious the next second.

At the command of the presiding disciple, the battle erupted instantly. The inner disciple defending the ring had a stern look in his eyes, and he launched the first attack. With lightning speed, he rushed towards Chen Han, brandishing his longsword, and a sharp sword energy rushed towards Chen Han.

Thunder element? Chen Han thought to himself.

He remained calm, his footsteps shifting slightly, easily dodging the sword energy. He wasn't in a rush to counterattack, but calmly observed his opponent's movements. The defending disciple, seeing his strike miss, felt a slight rage in his heart. He swung his sword again, and the sword energy surged towards Chen Han like a violent storm.

Chen Han remained calm, weaving in and out of the sword energy nimbly like a fish. Whenever the sword energy was about to hit him, he would dodge it accurately.

The inner sect disciple did not panic, "Let me see if you can dodge this attack!"

The inner sect disciple roared angrily and quickly formed seals with his hands. Lightning flashed in his palms and the surrounding air was instantly filled with lightning, making a crackling sound.

"Try my secret thunderstorm technique!" the inner sect disciple shouted, and a thick bolt of lightning swooped down towards Chen Han like a roaring thunder dragon. Wherever the lightning passed, the air was ionized, the light was dazzling, and the powerful pressure shocked everyone in the audience.

Chen Han's heart tightened. This attack was incredibly fast and powerful, making it impossible to dodge. His eyes narrowed. At this critical moment, he didn't want to reveal the secret of his ability to control plants in front of too many people.

If he used the physical strength of his own holy body to take the hit, he would probably be exposed, and a minor injury would reveal his flaws to Han Mengyun.

Forced into a corner, he activated the spiritual energy.

A powerful aura instantly erupted from Chen Han's body, and the Yuling Gangqi formed a layer of golden protective aura on his body. He rushed forward towards the lightning, and the Thunder Dragon collided with the Yuling Gangqi, emitting a deafening roar.

But the Yuling Gangqi stubbornly resisted the lightning attack. Chen Han seized the opportunity, while the inner sect disciple was still shocked by the resistance of the Thunderstorm Secret Art, he rushed towards the inner sect disciple like lightning, and fiercely punched him in the face of the opponent's attack.

This punch was powerful and so fast that it was difficult for people to react.

The inner disciple could never have imagined that an outer disciple could actually counterattack against his secret technique.

His eyes widened instantly. Chen Han's speed was so fast that it was difficult for him to react. With one punch, the inner disciple was knocked off the stage.
