Bamboo Mound

He then turned to Ning Chang and said, "There are four disciples who can fight this time. If no one challenges you afterward, you will become the first personal disciple, Bai Ke'er will be second, and the other two personal disciples will not be ranked."

Before he finished speaking, another young man rushed from the direction of the Huayu Sect's viewing platform and stepped onto the battle stage in a few steps.

"You're Ning Chang?!" As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he pointed at Ning Chang and asked in a accusatory tone.

"Otherwise what?" Seeing the other party's harsh tone, he didn't give him a pleasant look either. After all, just now, he sensed that this guy was only at the fifth level of the Spirit Fusion Realm.

The Huayu Sect mostly relies on spiritual power to sustain combat, and not many of them cultivate martial arts techniques. With Ning Chang's methods, he can easily fight against opponents of different levels.

"How dare you injure Junior Sister Bai like that! Unforgivable! Next, I'm going to personally let you experience what it feels like to be pinned to the ground and have needles threaded through your fingers!"

"It's just a depletion of spiritual energy and a few needle pricks..." Ning Chang was about to retort when he was interrupted, "...just a minor injury..."

"No matter how much you beg for mercy, I will not let you go. I will make you kneel before Junior Sister Bai and kowtow to apologize!"

He made his pre-war declaration with great conviction and fierce fervor.

"Elementary school student..." Upon hearing the youth's declaration, Ning Chang suddenly didn't want to fight anymore.

"How come all the top-tier talents are in the Huayu Sect? Wait, how come the Huayu Sect is so good at recruiting top-tier talents?!"

First there was the guy who lost two matches and went mad, then his protégé turned out to be a scheming woman, and now this kid with a childlike mentality and a sycophantic attitude...

If it weren't for that green tea master not causing him trouble, he would have already concluded that there weren't many normal people in the Huayu Sect.

Seeing that Ning Chang did not respond and was just staring at him quietly, he became furious.

"How dare you ignore me!"

"Remember this! The one who will crush you is Ye Xingyun, the disciple of the Second Elder of the Huayu Sect!"

After saying that, the host left the battle stage, because according to the rules, the battle would begin once the two sides learned each other's names.

However, from the moment Ye Xingyun took the stage, Ning Chang's spiritual power began to invade his body. Now that the battle has begun, the disguised spiritual power in his body has reached half of what is ultimately needed!

Of course, if Ye Xingyun were to use half of the spiritual power in his dantian now, the existing disguised spiritual power would be sufficient.

However, Ning Chang did not take any immediate action. After all, he had just drained Kong Ke'er's spiritual power, and the finger needles still felt too weak. He now thought of a more impactful method.

Although Ye Xingyun was arrogant and conceited, he actually had some skillful techniques when he fought.

First, he affixed several speed talismans and spirit-guiding talismans, then began to draw an array with spiritual power flowing from his feet. He threw out a few hidden darts, then took out a standard spirit sword and attacked Ning Chang.

"The idea was good, but unfortunately, it was wrong from the start." While thinking this, Ning Chang leisurely activated the Qingyun Sect to evade.

Even with the use of multiple speed talismans, Ye Xingyun's speed was only about half that of Ning Chang's full-force use of the Azure Cloud Step.

He dodged the flying dart to the side, and Ye Xingyun, wielding a sword, was about to arrive in front of him.

Just as he swung his sword at Ning Chang, Ning Chang took a step behind Ye Xingyun and casually threw a handful of bamboo leaves at his face.

Suddenly hit in the face by bamboo leaves, Ye Xingyun lost all vision and was momentarily confused. He then wiped his face with his hand and swept the bamboo leaves away.

Since it wasn't needed for the time being, he let the bamboo leaves fall freely without controlling them.

Ye Xingyun turned around and saw that Ning Chang had already arrived on the other side of the battle stage.

Looking at the corner of Ye Xingyun's dark green array pattern, Ning Chang couldn't help but chuckle.

This is clearly the formation that Ning Chang learned yesterday!

Sensing the spiritual power mixed within it, he decided to wait until Ye Xingyun finished drawing before directly seizing control of the formation and seeing how the brat would react.

Feeling that Ning Chang had played a trick on him, Ye Xingyun pointed his sword at Ning Chang and roared:

"How dare you mock me! All you can do is hide!"

Then he threw out several more darts, which, along with the previous ones, flew towards Ning Chang.

"You only know how to hide, right? Wait until my Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation is complete, then let's see how you hide!"

As he thought this, he continued to charge towards Ning Chang, swinging his sword.

"Tsk, why does the Huayu Sect always throw darts? It's so annoying."

He cursed under his breath, easily dodged the hidden dart, threw a handful of bamboo leaves at Ye Xingyun's face as he rushed over, and then slipped away.

Ye Xingyun was about to strike with his sword when he was blindfolded by bamboo leaves, which enraged him.

At that moment, the resistance from the sword made him instantly delighted.

"Got it!"

"Kid, let's see how you dodge this time!"

As the bamboo leaves fell, his joyful expression froze on his face.

What he had cut down was a tightly packed clump of bamboo leaves!

While he was in a daze, the clump of bamboo leaves suddenly burst open, scattering and landing on his head, body, and the ground.

One breath... two breaths...

Ye Xingyun's eyes gradually widened, his skin began to turn red, and his breathing became increasingly labored.

He turned abruptly and roared, "Unforgivable!"

"Ah, it's already red-hot?" Ning Chang, standing on the other side, shrugged when he saw Ye Xingyun's face was flushed.

He began to draw the array beneath his feet at an accelerated pace. Once he activated the Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array, Ning Chang would have nowhere to escape under the array's absorption of spiritual energy and the effect of its spiritual light, leaving him at his mercy!

The array patterns, which were already mostly complete, were condensed and finished in no time under his focused drawing.

"Five Elements Dragon-Trapping Formation! Activate!" he roared, then divided his spiritual energy into five groups, injecting it into the five circles.

However, just as the spiritual energy was about to be injected into the formation, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"So this formation is called Five Elements Trapping Dragon. Thank you for helping to draw the formation and for providing the activation power. But why are you all using only one attribute to activate it?"

"Is it because you lack the ability?" Ning Chang asked, arms crossed. This was his first conversation with Ye Xingyun.

The sudden turn of events left Ye Xingyun looking bewildered.

"What did you do! Why can't I control my spiritual power anymore?"

"No, this is impossible! How could you use the Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation!" He exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ning Chang's actions.

Ning Chang then poured the five orbs of spiritual energy into the formation, and the formation enveloped the entire battle arena, drawing out five orbs of spiritual light of corresponding sizes.

"It seems that the quality of the spiritual light is directly proportional to the amount of spiritual energy injected." Having confirmed the Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation, Ning Chang looked up and stared directly at Ye Xingyun.

"Nothing is impossible. This formation is so simple that you can learn it at a glance."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a small Five Elements Dragon-Trapping Array instantly appeared in his palm. Then, with a flash of light, it was successfully activated.

Upon seeing this, the elders of the Huayu Sect who were watching from the stands all stood up instantly.

"What's going on? How did he activate the Five Elements Dragon Trapping Formation? And he can even draw the formation patterns!"
