All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

These are all old rivals, let alone the official team members.

Even if it was a substitute, they had already investigated everything thoroughly. How could such a person have suddenly appeared?

The competition had reached its most crucial stage, and they absolutely could not allow such an accident to affect the subsequent stages, so they quickly began investigating.

Upon investigation, everyone was speechless.

Array Master?

Why would a perfectly good array master like her go to a sword cultivator's place and start a killing spree instead of competing in array formations? What is she trying to do?

Many people had complaints and went to the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Sect Leader Qin smiled and played the tai chi with the newcomer.

There's no rule saying that array masters can't participate in sword cultivator competitions; she was originally just a substitute or something.

This left everyone speechless.

The key point is that no one expected her to be able to cultivate both paths simultaneously and still be able to handle the final rounds with ease.

Unfortunately, there was no way to refute this, so they could only let them continue.

As soon as it was mentioned that he wouldn't be allowed to participate in the competition, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect started reasoning with everyone, making it impossible for anyone to object.

The main point was that he directly asked, "We've all made it to the finals, you wouldn't be afraid of a mere disciple in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, would you?"

That one sentence is enough to leave everyone speechless.

In the following competition, those in the know also paid attention to the competition among the formation masters.

I was even more speechless when I found out that she had also made it to the finals of the formation competition.

Where did this person come from? Which family released such a talented disciple to participate in this kind of competition?

Could it be that the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is promoting her?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to keep such a powerful weapon hidden until the very end?

Even worse, such people are hidden away and absolutely not allowed to be released.

Unable to understand, the crowd simply stopped thinking about it and continued to focus on the upcoming matches.

When it comes to the next round of written tests.

Only seven people remained in each competition.

Today is the final of all the competitions.

The first event was a competition for those at the Golden Core stage.

In the end, the Wuji Sect was chosen as the winner.

At the Nascent Soul stage, everyone knew that Feng Ning was a variable, so they intensively studied flying sword techniques and devised targeted tactics.

Most people would use their strongest forces to take down Feng Ning first.

After all, she was the weakest and easiest to bully.

Solving them one by one then becomes much simpler.

One team received a bye in this round.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect was fighting against the Water Moon Palace.

They dispatched their strongest fighters, who had also studied her flying sword techniques and devised a countermeasure.

Unfortunately, Feng Ning disappointed them.

They assumed she only had seven swords, but then she raised her hand and produced three more.

Fortunately, they were prepared, so they were able to handle even if they had to fight a few more rounds.

Feng Ning's lips curled slightly. Did you think I only knew swordsmanship?

She took a light step forward, and in the blink of an eye, the entire field was covered in ice and snow.

Everyone stared at the scene in astonishment.

"What happened? How could the weather suddenly change like this?"

Is it snowing outside?

Everyone looked up at the open sky, but there was nothing there.

They stared in shock at the stage, so the ice and snow were only on the stage?

The person closest to him felt it most clearly, because he felt as if his feet were frozen.

Feng Ning used her divine sense to control the flying sword to continue the attack. With her fingers pressing down, everyone's legs were frozen in place, and she directly controlled the entire scene.

Everyone stared at her in shock.

"Did she do it? That junior disciple in the mid-Nascent Soul stage?!"

"What kind of spiritual root does she have? Is there such a thing as a snow-type spiritual root?"

The person next to him glanced at him speechlessly, "Don't you have any knowledge? That's an ice-type, a mutated ice spirit root!"

In an instant, the entire audience cheered in shock. The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect proudly raised his head, knowing that this was a small but deadly weapon!

But after a moment of shock, the scene came to life again, and those with fire elemental roots began to melt their legs.

Some people tried to shatter the ice's confinement with their spiritual power, but the effect was minimal and the process was very slow.

Before they could untie themselves, Feng Ning's flying sword and ice needles were already perfectly placed on everyone's foreheads.

Won!

The crowd cheered, never expecting that a battle between Nascent Soul stage cultivators could be so thrilling.

The people competing later also became a little nervous.

Even if we win this time, how will we deal with her ice-like defenses next time?

Clearly, simple fire cannot melt her ice, and her flying sword technique can even hold back two people.

Immediately, everyone tensed up.

The competition to narrow down the field from seven to four has ended, leaving four teams remaining.

And all four teams became even more tense.

Alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formation making have reached their final stage.

Currently, only about ten people remain after the screening. Once this final round is completed, they will be among the top ten, and the process will be finished.

The Wood Shadow Sect is number one in alchemy.

The Xuan Shuang Sect is the best at weapon crafting.

The most important talisman is the Water Moon Palace.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is number one in formations.

This was something no one expected.

After all, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not particularly good at formations, and the reason they got the highest score this time is because all three of their disciples made it into the top ten.

Putting aside quality, just based on their quantity, they've already secured first place.

This infuriated the sects that specialized in formations.

But there's nothing you can do about it; they won it through their own strength.

The Nascent Soul stage competition has started again.

Next up is the quarterfinals.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect versus the Profound Frost Sect.

The Xuanshuang Sect is well prepared; they have countermeasures for both flying sword techniques and ice-based control.

Let the beast tamer deal with her. Firstly, the number of swords cannot suppress the actions of the spirit beasts. Secondly, most spirit beasts rely on themselves, and the control of spiritual power has little effect on them.

When Feng Ning saw them release a beast tamer, she suddenly laughed.

Come to think of it, she doesn't seem to have used the ability to control beasts much.

After evolving time and again, the little Vermilion Bird has now reached the stage of a sacred beast. It usually goes out to fight on its own, but since it has encountered this situation, it might as well give it a try.

Then, she released the little Vermilion Bird.

The person on the other side almost had a heart attack when they saw her summon a bird.

"How can she control beasts?!"

"No, she cheated! How could she have so many? How are we supposed to compete now?"

"Isn't this a bit too much, releasing such a monster?"

At the Xuan Shuang Gate location, a woman looked at the platform with a smile.

"You really are surprising. In such a short time, you have grown to such an extent. It seems I underestimated you."

Hearing her speak, someone nearby asked curiously, "Senior sister, do you know that woman?"

The woman shook her head. "Keep watching. I misjudged."

She had thought that she would use formations to fight.
