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

The two had barely finished greeting each other when Yao Feibai immediately began to act.

He knew, of course, that Feng Ning was not someone to be trifled with.

He had carefully observed the previous battles, but Feng Ning always defeated him with a single move, leaving him no chance to learn from the experience.

We can only be extremely careful.

A powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from his palm, like a dazzling firework, causing the air to ripple in the direction of his finger, and rushing straight towards Feng Ning.

Feng Ning leaped up, activated the Illusion Technique, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Yao Feibai knew about this move and had already prepared a countermeasure. "Let's try this move."

Then, small flames appeared in both of his palms.

In an instant, spiritual energy surged, and a cloud of fire gathered in the sky, which then began to rain down fire.

Each tiny flame fell from the sky like raindrops onto the battle arena.

Feng Ning felt the air around her begin to heat up.

Even with the enhancement of the Illusion Technique, her range of movement was still constantly shrinking.

Each tiny flame seemed to have eyes, attacking her from several directions.

Feng Ning's figure moved so fast that she was almost invisible a moment later.

She turned on her toes and leaped directly to Yao Feibai's side, stabbing several ice needles straight at him.

Yao Feibai tried to defend himself, but he was still stabbed several times.

She was closer now, but that was a good thing for Yao Feibai.

Because they are closer, his attack will be more concentrated and more powerful than the previous rain of fire.

"Crimson Flame Fire Dragon!"

Feng Ning gave a soft snort, and then erected an ice wall in front of her.

No matter how powerful his fire dragon was, it couldn't break through even a fraction of its strength.

Water and fire are inherently in a perfect state of restraint.

Unfortunately, he was facing an ice-type opponent, which gave him no chance of winning; he was completely suppressed.

With a flick of her wrist, Feng Ning unleashed a surge of spiritual energy. As he released the next fire dragon, she waited no longer and continued her attack with ice needles.

Yao Feibai was quite surprised, not expecting that she could respond so quickly under such a fierce attack.

He actually found it somewhat admirable.

But this time, he's determined to win!

He is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If he can't even beat someone in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"I admit you are indeed talented, and your ice-type spiritual root is very strong, but I will not lose!"

Feng Ning smiled. "Then do you think I will lose?"

The two began fighting again.

However, the battle between fire and ice has become somewhat intense.

The two were locked in a stalemate, so Yao Feibai gave up using fire-type spiritual power and took out a longsword.

"Since you are also a sword cultivator, let's resolve this battle in the way of sword cultivators, and decide the outcome with a single sword strike."

Feng Ning smiled and took out the Shadow Dancer as well.

"Okay."

Then, the two unleashed their strongest sword strikes, using almost all of their spiritual power to decide the outcome of the battle.

Violent gales were whipped up by the air currents from all directions.

As the two sword energies collided, both of them were forced to retreat several steps. Just as Feng Ning regained his footing, he heard a series of exclamations from the surrounding area.

Yao Feibai was blasted off the stage by the sword energy, fell to the ground, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Yao Feibai!"

Feng Ning was also startled; she hadn't intended to hurt him!

The arena immediately erupted in noise as the elder announced, "Number 250 wins! The winner of this disciple-acceptance ceremony is Feng Ning!"

Cheers erupted in the stadium, some people were happy while others were sad.

Feng Ning immediately jumped off the stage and set up a formation on Yao Feibai.

Yao Feibai had just taken the pill and was about to go to his resting place to recover when Feng Ning arrived unexpectedly.

He looked up in surprise, then looked down again.

"You don't need to do that. Winning and losing are normal. I won't blame you."

Feng Ning smiled and said, "You are a very good opponent. I don't want you to die like this. Take good care of yourself and recover well."

Yao Feibai's lips twitched. "That's not how you use the phrase 'fragrant life dies'."

Feng Ning gave an awkward laugh. "Hehe, I was just saying it casually. Get well soon, I'm leaving."

As soon as she turned around, she heard Yao Feibai say behind her, "I will defeat you."

Feng Ning didn't stop walking. "Okay, then I'll wait."

He then jumped directly onto the viewing platform.

With her hands behind her back and her chin raised, she said, "Master, did you see that? I said I'd get you first place, and I did. I'll even become an elite disciple."

Nian Zhao gave her a thumbs up, "Okay, I'll wait."

Feng Ning then sat down in the chair behind her.

Nian Zhao turned her head and ruffled her hair, her eyes full of doting affection.

Feng Ning quickly straightened her hair. "Master, don't mess it up. I won't be able to comb it properly if you do."

Nian Zhao was speechless. "It's no big deal. I'll just comb your hair."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "Really? Don't just talk the talk. You'll start making excuses again when I can't comb my hair."

"Alright, alright, I'll comb your hair now, okay?"

What kind of mentor acts like this? Is she trying to find a father figure for herself?

Being her master and having to tie her hair? He'd lived for over thirty years and had never heard of such a thing.

As the two were talking, the announcement of the end of the competition was made.

Next up is the apprenticeship ceremony, the real highlight.

The other elders looked at the Fourth Elder with resentment.

This kid is really lucky. How did he manage to take such a young genius away?

Seeing that the master and apprentice were getting along quite well, they didn't want to poach the girl, but they really wanted to take her in.

The word "envy" is no longer enough to express their feelings.

That's it.

Haven't you heard what they say? They've already kowtowed to the gods; now they can only look on at other little geniuses.

To be honest, this girl seems pretty good, but the others aren't bad either.

Just like Duan Menghua, Yao Feibai, and Liu Yuanxiu, these three are also top-notch genius disciples.

Especially Yao Feibai, no one knows where he was recruited from, but he was a disciple in the late stage of Foundation Establishment as soon as he entered the door.

This person is perfectly qualified to enter the inner gate.

Although the other two were not as powerful as him, they were both at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, so entering the inner sect would not be a problem for them.

On the field, all the disciples were waiting in the waiting area, waiting for the elders to accept them as disciples.

Of course, only the seven who entered the fourth round could be accepted as disciples by the elders.

If any of these seven people are accepted as personal disciples, they can directly enter the inner sect for cultivation.

If not, one must enter the outer sect to cultivate, and only when the advancement competition is held will there be a chance to become an inner sect disciple.

As for the others, they went directly through the outer gate.

That's how cruel it is. If you can't even get into the top seven, you're not qualified to enter the inner sect for study, nor are you qualified to enjoy those good resources.
