Make your ex-boyfriend cry? That's easy!

Hearing this answer, the crowd exclaimed again.

The late Nascent Soul stage is already a very high realm in this world where spiritual power is obscure, but Jiang Yan's sword intent and spiritual power are so pure and profound, which shows how talented he is.

At this moment, Yun Gui poked his head out from the small balcony upstairs and added on behalf of his junior brother with a smug look on his face:

"Wen Qiu is only one step away from breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. He just needs that final push."

His tone was full of pride and boasting, as if Jiang Yan was his pride.

Indeed, having such a promising junior brother is really worth showing off.

Jiang Yan bowed and took his leave. He lightly tapped his toes and his body was as light as a bird, and he flew to the second floor in an instant.

"Brother, small noodles."

The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of anticipation.

Yun Gui happily put his arm around the shoulder of his beloved junior apprentice, who had been showing off in front of everyone for most of the morning without realizing it.

"Let's go, Senior Brother, go back to the mountain now and cook some noodles for us Yanyan!"

****

The opening ceremony of the sect competition.

The so-called opening ceremony, in simple terms, is that all the disciples gather in the arena, and each sect selects the best disciples from within the sect. The selected disciples then take turns to go on stage and perform their most beautiful moves.

This is like a gorgeous peacock spreading its feathers, and every disciple wants to show his or her strength and style to attract the audience's attention.

As a young disciple who was just one step away from entering the Spirit Transformation Stage among his peers, Jiang Yan undoubtedly became the focus.

The headmaster grinned so hard that his mouth was crooked, and he stroked his beard in great joy: "Hahaha, this year's champion is definitely from our Taiheng Sect again, hahahaha."

He was well aware of Jiang Yan's potential and ability and had full confidence in him.

The sect competition explicitly stipulates that only disciples below the Spiritual Transformation stage can participate. This rule is intended to level the playing field and give young disciples more opportunities to showcase themselves.

And Jiang Yan just meets this condition.

Of course, Jiang Yan would not be present at the opening ceremony, as he had already become famous throughout the various sects. To show the other sects that he had other formidable disciples, Tai Heng Sect Master Jin had specially sent another talented disciple from his sect, Fu Qing.

Fu Qing was taken into the sect by Sect Master Jin during his travels. Originally a casual cultivator, he was spotted by Sect Master Jin while hunting a demon beast. Impressed by his skill, he chased him for a long time before finally accepting him as his disciple.

He is only twenty years old this year, but he is about to break through to the late stage from the middle stage of Nascent Soul. At this age and with this level of cultivation, he is already an outstanding genius.

It's this name that seems to be taking advantage of others.

All I saw was the colorful spiritual energy exploding in the martial arts arena, which dazzled the onlookers and made them praise it endlessly.

Look at that swordsman who broke through the clouds with his sword, and suddenly there was a crackling sound of fine hail falling to the ground.

He turned around and looked at another alchemist who was refining an elixir on the spot. In just a moment, a golden light flashed, and a seventh-grade Dingling Pill was suddenly formed, and the fragrance of the pill filled the air.

Then, the next weapon cultivator summoned the magic weapon he had cultivated for so long, transforming it into a flying boat, a spiritual needle, and then a long sword...

There were exclamations from the disciples in the audience.

The master went on a journey, and Yun Gui should have sat with the elders in his place, but Yun Gui was rebellious and insisted on squeezing in with his junior brother and sharing a table with him.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "If my junior brother were to come up, what move would you use?"

When there are outsiders around, Yun Gui always calls Jiang Yan Wen Qiu. On weekdays, he will only call Yan Yan when there are only two of them or when there are close elders present.

Jiang Yan didn't understand why Yun Gui asked this, but he still responded obediently: "I learned a new sword technique a few days ago."

"Cherishing Flowers." Yun Gui shook his head, with a look of pity on his face.

"That set of moves is both beautiful and brutal. If some spiritual energy were attached to the sword, I wonder how much more beautiful it would be when Wen Qiu performs the moves. He would definitely be the best on the field. It's a pity that we won't be able to see it."

Jiang Yan didn't know what his senior brother was regretting, but he was already very skilled in smoothing things over: "When I get back, I'll show you my sword dance again, and I'll do 'Cherishing Flowers'."

——"Cherishing Flowers" is the sword technique that Jiang Yan learned a few days ago.

"Okay!" Yun Gui heard what he wanted to hear and said happily, "Ask us some steamed cakes when the time comes."

Jiang Yan's eyes immediately lit up.

……

The next person to come on stage was Fu Qing.

Fu Qing is a talisman cultivator, and a very outstanding one.

He stood in the center of the martial arts arena and nodded to everyone, "Tai Heng Sect's Hua Liushan, Fu Qing, is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

As he finished speaking, the originally quiet crowd began to stir.

"It's actually Fu Qing! He's the genius talisman cultivator from our Taiheng Sect!"

"Yes, he is hailed as one of the people with the greatest hope of becoming a Divine Transformation cultivator besides the Little Immortal Lord Wen Qiu!"

"I heard that he has been practicing in seclusion recently, and his strength has reached a new level!"

Amidst exclamations, Fu Qing raised his hand and concentrated his spiritual power on his fingertips. His fingers gently moved in the air, as if drawing a mysterious pattern in the air.

As he moved, a powerful force surged from his fingertips, resonating with the surrounding air.

Two fingers slid freely in the air, and the golden spiritual power stayed in the air along with the fingertips, forming complex and beautiful runes.

These runes sparkle with dazzling light, like bright stars in the night sky.

But in the blink of an eye, a lightning talisman quickly took shape and transformed into a solid object. It was held between Fu Qing's two fingers. Soon, he threw the lightning talisman towards the sky with force.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds gathered and the sky and the earth became gloomy, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

Then, thick streaks of lightning shuttled through the clouds like silver snakes, making a deafening roar.

However, surprisingly, these lightning bolts did not harm Fu Qing at all. He stood there, unharmed, as if he had become one with nature.

He raised his hand again and drew a water talisman. In an instant, a very thin stream of water wrapped around the lightning, and even guided the lightning to change its shape.

In a flash, a vivid thunder dragon, its body shimmering with water, hovered above the martial arts arena. The thunder dragon was lifelike, as if it had life itself, its scales gleaming with lightning, and its body was enormous and mighty.

Everyone was amazed.

"Oh my god, he can actually draw talismans so effortlessly and effortlessly, and they are such powerful talismans..."

"It's so terrifying. How much energy and powerful spiritual power must have been consumed to draw such a talisman? How could such a person be only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"

"This person will definitely have great potential in the future!"

Then, Fu Qing continued to calmly dance his fingers in the air. Rays of spiritual light flickered, forming mysterious runes. These runes danced in the air like living things, and finally merged into Fu Qing's body.
