System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Such a scene came into view.

Even Senior Sister Tian Shuang felt a bit uneasy. She looked at Chen Xuan with her bright, beautiful eyes and muttered to herself, "Monster! It took me many years to comprehend the One Mind for Three Uses, plus the Dao Domain Realm, to become the second person of the third generation of disciples."

You know best how much you've expended.

But Chen Xuan, the junior brother opposite him, seemed to have maintained this calm and composed expression from the very beginning, as if he hadn't suffered any significant energy expenditure.

As their battles deepened, Chen Xuan became like a bottomless abyss in Senior Sister Tian Shuang's mind, his true abilities remaining hidden.

Even with her unwavering Dao heart, Senior Sister Tian Shuang was starting to get anxious seeing Chen Xuan like this.

"I'm using my full power to control my weapons. This state is taking a huge toll on my mental energy. This battle needs to be won quickly!"

As both sides displayed the power of their respective Dao Realms, they engaged in a fierce and intense battle that lasted for an unknown period of time.

However, as the high-intensity mid-to-long-range control continued, Senior Sister Tian Shuang, whose face was originally rosy, became increasingly pale.

The Dao Proof Hall uses puppets to discuss the Dao, which consumes not the spiritual energy of each person's Purple Mansion Lake, but a large amount of essence, energy, and spirit.

In such a closely contested battle, both sides were almost completely absorbed in their own battles.

As a new disciple of Xuanqing Palace, Chen Xuan was already harboring resentment due to the suppression he faced from the senior disciples.

Today is the day for Chen Xuan to prove himself and the new disciples.

However, Tian Shuang still has her own obsession. As a senior disciple who has been studying for decades, she is also the second strongest among the three generations of disciples.

Having fought to such an extent with a new disciple, as a senior disciple, she was naturally not convinced.

Unfortunately, despite her excellent qualities in all aspects, how could Senior Sister Tian Shuang compare to Chen Xuan, who possesses the Crimson Bright Divine Body and has already awakened the ability to travel a thousand miles in a single thought, in terms of divine body, soul, and energy?

In the end, to the astonishment of all the senior disciples, Senior Sister Tian Shuang was mentally exhausted, and the power of her seventy-two nine-inch flying needles diminished, forcing her to admit defeat.

"I can no longer concentrate on controlling the flying needles or using weapon control techniques." The flying needles fell to the ground, and Senior Sister Tian Shuang's high chest heaved violently. Her face was slightly pale as she looked at Chen Xuan, shook her head weakly, and said, "I am no longer able to fight. I concede defeat in this battle."

As Senior Sister Tian Shuang voluntarily conceded defeat, the puppet referee, who was conducting the evaluation and discussion, also announced in a deep voice, "Nine Swords Puppet versus Weapon Controlling Puppet, Chen Xuan wins!"

"Senior Sister Tian Shuang has admitted it!"

As the protective array descended, Chen Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in thanks to Senior Sister Tian Shuang, saying, "In this discussion, I have truly witnessed the terrifying power of weapon control. Thank you, Senior Sister."

He not only did not become arrogant and conceited when he surpassed two of the top-ranked disciples among the third generation, but also immediately expressed his gratitude for the guidance.

At this moment, Senior Sister Tian Shuang looked at Chen Xuan, who was relaxed, with a complex gaze and couldn't help but admire him.

“Junior brother’s Gale Domain is invisible and colorless, yet extremely sharp. My weapon-controlling flying needles can never break through your sword momentum. It’s only a matter of time before I give up after my mind is exhausted.”

Seemingly genuinely appreciating Chen Xuan's character, Senior Sister Tian Shuang smiled and said to Chen Xuan, "Once Junior Brother finishes his Dao Attainment Hall and formally becomes Master's disciple, Senior Sister will personally ascend Beiming Peak to ask for a cup of immortal wine."

With such an amazing junior brother, given Tian Shuang's understanding of the sect, the Nascent Soul Daoist who will be taking on disciples is probably someone whose Nascent Soul Daoist strength is comparable to the sect's patriarch. As a tribal prodigy, she would naturally want to befriend such a junior brother with extraordinary potential and a promising future.

“In that case, junior brother must prepare immortal wine and spiritual fruits in advance, and look forward to senior sister’s arrival.” Chen Xuanlang replied with a smile, his tone steady and his eyes clear.

Tian Shuang smoothed her dark hair at her temples and smiled at Chen Xuan, saying, "Junior Brother, the Dao Proof Hall's debate with new disciples is a rule established when my Xuanqing Palace was founded. This battle will not end with me, so be careful."

Chen Xuan naturally knew all this, and nodded and smiled.

At this moment, Tian Shuang also floated away from the jade platform. In mid-air, she looked at her senior brother Tian Shui, who was surrounded by a group of third-generation disciples.

She laughed heartily and said, "Senior Brother Tianshui, it's up to you now."

At this moment, the senior disciples in the spectator stands were still in shock at Chen Xuan's decisive victory over Senior Sister Tian Shuang.

After regaining their senses, the way they looked at Chen Xuan was clear and bright, unlike the disdain they had shown when Chen Xuan first arrived.

"Senior Sister Tian Shuang actually lost too?"

"Does this mean that Junior Brother Chen Xuan already possesses the strength to be ranked second among the third-generation disciples, right after joining the sect?"

"Unbelievable! Truly a prodigy, a monster!"

"Yes, outsiders say that every disciple who can enter my Xuanqing Palace is a prodigy. Hehe, but we know better than anyone else that among our fellow disciples, in front of those real prodigies, we are nothing."

"Indeed a prodigy. I wonder if Senior Brother Tianshui will join the battle today."

……

As the three generations of disciples discussed amongst themselves, Senior Brother Tianshui shook his head with a wry smile. He was indeed stronger than Junior Sister Tianshuang in his understanding of the Dao, but to be honest, the difference was very limited.

When the two usually discuss philosophy, they each have their own winners and losers.

But what if we do that?

This junior brother Chen Xuan first defeated Haoyue, and then, without resting or recovering at all, defeated Tianshuang again.

That's fine.

But look at Chen Xuan's face and expression right now, where is there even a trace of fatigue after a great battle?

"With such mental and physical energy, this Junior Brother Chen Xuan is probably not a god or demon."

As Tian Shuang landed beside him, he immediately heard Tian Shui mutter to himself.

"The estimate is probably correct, otherwise, a Qi Refining cultivator would find it impossible to sustain such mental exertion." Tian Shuang said in a low voice. After all, she represented the old disciples' camp, so it was normal for her to speculate about Chen Xuan's background in advance.

"Third Uncle, this..." Compared to the shock and disbelief of Tianshui and the other third-generation disciples, the uncle and nephew standing on the other side were relatively calm.

Of course, it's only relative.

Heming entered the sect relatively late, and his strength was only about the same as Haoyue's. He had discussed the Dao with Senior Sister Tianshuang and knew how terrifying and difficult to resist Tianshuang's weapon control technique was.

"As expected, he won. This junior brother Chen Xuan is indeed worthy of being publicly acknowledged as a brother by Prince Qingtian Xiaolin." Xuanming looked at Chen Xuan, who was the center of attention in the arena, and said with some envy, "After this battle, he will definitely be able to become a disciple of a truly powerful Yuan Shen Daoist."

"Hmm, that's incredible. I can hardly believe that this is the same newcomer who once participated in the life-or-death duel at Wanbao Mountain," He Ming said, shaking his head.

As the battle came to an end, some powerful Nascent Soul cultivators in various caves of the sect, who had watched the battle using the Water Mirror Technique, all began to consider taking Chen Xuan as their disciple.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Chen Xuan's fate had already been decided internally.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, is there anyone else who would like to step forward and offer guidance?"
