After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"You will adjust your rest time from the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in a moment."

Gao Hong looked at the two people on the stage with disdain in his eyes.

Since he felt that Gao Hong was unrefined in his actions, while his own swordsmanship was pure.

"Then I won't be so particular today. I want to see how long you can hold out."

As Elder Liu listened, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yushi, his face showing unease.

"The rest time used to be half an hour, but now it's been cut in half, isn't that too much...?"

Gao Hong glanced at him dismissively, his tone indifferent.

"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up. What do you have to worry about?"

Sensing the underlying threat in Gao Hong's tone, Elder Liu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Now that things have come to this, there's no way he can escape.

Only if Gao Hongzhen becomes the sect leader will there be a glimmer of hope!

.........................................

On the dueling platform, the situation was constantly changing.

Sword energy, sword light, and sword shadows filled the entire dueling stage, and Chu Luobai and Zhao Jingren moved at extreme speed.

At this moment, the competition has entered a heated phase.

The clash of spiritual energies created gusts of wind that swirled around them.

Dust filled the sky, and all the disciples stared intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Zhao Jingren felt that the spiritual energy in his body was about to be exhausted.

On the other hand, Chu Luobai on the opposite side still seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

"It seems that the gap between the early and middle stages of the Dao Integration Realm is still quite significant."

Zhao Jingren felt a chill and immediately reversed his sword stance.

The last remaining spiritual energy in his body was fully mobilized, and the moonlight shone brightly on the longsword.

Chu Luobai, hidden in the sea of ​​sword energy, had a glint in her eyes.

"Is this kid trying to make one last desperate attempt?"

"In that case, I will also..."

The sword shrieked, and the sea of ​​clouds formed by the sword energy instantly receded into the sword's body.

As he finished his swordplay, an overwhelming aura emanated from Chu Luobai.

On the stage, only Chu Luobai and Zhao Jingren remained standing facing each other, and the strange phenomena from before were no longer present.

However, the oppressive atmosphere in the air was even stronger than before.

At that moment, all the disciples couldn't help but swallow hard.

Zheng!

The two figures on the stage moved slightly.

Two powerful spiritual energies collided.

A crescent moon could be faintly seen appearing on the horizon, radiating dazzling light.

The moonlight shone brightly on the long sword in Zhao Jingren's hand, and the flowing clouds dispersed wherever the sword tip pointed!

Chu Luobai closed his eyes and concentrated. His sword heart stirred and his sword intent arose. His sword momentum changed, and the flowing clouds in the sky rose again.

In an instant, the flowing clouds and moonlight intertwined, the sword energy clashed, and the sword light burst forth.

"Oh!"

A loud bang erupted from the center of the dueling platform.

The two figures retreated almost simultaneously!

The disciples below the stage instinctively craned their necks.

I want to see who wins and who loses.

On the dueling platform, both of them retreated to the edge of the platform.

"cough!"

Suddenly, Zhao Jingren clutched his chest, and a mouthful of blood uncontrollably seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He swayed precariously, kneeling on one knee, barely supporting himself with his longsword.

Across from him, Chu Luobai sheathed his longsword, his expression calm.

The outcome of this contest is clearly decided.

Zhao Jingren gave a wry smile.

"Looks like there's still a significant gap. I concede defeat!"

"Boom--!"

The dull bell rang, and the logistics staff in charge of the refereeing snapped out of their daze and rushed onto the stage.

"The victor of this competition is Xiaoyao Peak Chu Luobai!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the disciples below the stage!

Chu Luobai stepped forward slowly, extended her right hand to Zhao Jingren, and pulled him up from the ground.

"Well, are you convinced now?"

Zhao Jingren pursed his lips.

"This is only for this time. Next time, I'll definitely be able to rank ahead of Xiaoyao Peak when I ask Lingfeng."

Instead of teasing me, you should think about what to do about that.

Chu Luobai followed Zhao Jingren's gaze and saw that Xiao Xuancheng, who had been sitting steadily on the high platform, had now stood up.

Looking down at Chu Luobai, a murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

On the other side, Elder Liu also calmly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the disciples below. Only after everyone had quieted down did he clear his throat.

"The champion of this sect competition has been decided: Chu Luobai, a disciple of Xiaoyao Peak!"

"According to the sect's rules, this year's sect champion can challenge the previous year's champion. If they do not challenge, both will be ranked first."

"If you take on the challenge, the countdown begins."

"Chu Luobai, have you decided whether to take the challenge or not?"

The arena fell into a deathly silence, all eyes fixed on Chu Luobai.

From the first match to the last, Chu Luobai challenged eight elite disciples in a row.

The spiritual energy consumed in this process can only be described as astonishing.

Now, she and Zhao Jingren had another exhilarating fight.

Without a doubt, Chu Luobai's spiritual energy was almost depleted, possibly even completely gone!

Whether she chooses to challenge Xiao Xuancheng or not is perfectly normal.

After all, the rewards for first and second place are vastly different.

Even if I were to tie for first place with Xiao Xuancheng and split the reward equally, it would still be better than coming in second.

Feeling the realization gathered around him, Chu Luobai smiled calmly.

"Of course..."

Lingxiao was drawn from its sheath, the tip of the sword flashing coldly, pointing directly at Xiao Xuancheng.

"I, Chu Luobai, will challenge Xiao Xuancheng of Qingyun Peak today!"

"A battle between a peak Dao Integration Realm cultivator and a mid-Dao Integration Realm cultivator. Whoever loses must admit to having a demon in their heart and be sent to guard the Sword Forest for a hundred years."

"Senior Brother Xiao, you wouldn't dare to do that, would you?"

"Humph, I don't know how to appreciate it."

Xiao Xuancheng snorted coldly. Could it be that Chu Luobai thinks he can challenge him just because he took one of his moves in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm?

Gao Hong's face darkened, and he said coldly.

"This is a sect competition, not a place for you, Chu Luobai, to indulge in brawls and fights."

“Hey, Master Gao, your statement is rather biased.”

Zhao Yushi also spoke up, his tone leisurely.

"If the disciples of my Sword Sect don't even have this much fighting spirit, how can they be worthy of the three-foot-long sword in their hands?"

Gao Hong was speechless. Zhao Yushi had brought up the entire sect, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute him.

"The matter of inner demons was still unresolved before, so let's resolve it together today."

"You, a disciple of Qingyun Peak at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, can't even beat Chu Luobai, who is at the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm?"

"If it weren't for my inner demons, I would have asked Elder Gao how he taught his disciples."

Zhao Yushi's eyes suddenly turned deep, and although he did not use his spiritual power, he exuded a compelling aura.

"How I teach my disciples is none of anyone else's business. Elder Zhao, you have overstepped your bounds."

Gao Hong did not expect Zhao Yushi to suddenly launch an attack.

For so many years, Zhao Yushi has obediently stayed by the sidelines of the arena and never participated in sect affairs.

Why did he have to appear at this particular time, and why did he have to stand up for Chu Luobai?

Could it be that they are about to leave the pass?

The thought of this possibility immediately set off alarm bells in Gao Hong's mind.
