The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

As the suona horn sounded to signal the start of the competition, the two began their formal duel.

Liu Hong made a hand gesture and chanted an incantation. Large numbers of stone figures launched an attack, waving their fists and rushing forward. Their movements were incredibly smooth and swift, just like real people!

This Liu Hong is not only a puppeteer, but also a puppeteer with extremely high skill. It can be said that even those on the Earth Ranking are probably not at this level!

Lin Yitang had no choice but to summon Duan Sui and start taking things seriously.

The "Year-Breaking Technique" is her life-bound magic weapon, which she wouldn't easily use unless faced with a major event. The fact that she summoned it immediately shows how strong the pressure Liu Hong exerted on her.

The stone figure at the very front of the cleaver was only left with a shallow mark and did not cause any damage.

This made Lin Yitang's eyes widen slightly.

This stone is very hard!

She originally intended to cut off the stone man's entire arm, but when she struck it hard, it only created a scratch and didn't even penetrate the bone.

Although she didn't use sword energy or magic, she did use some of her own spiritual power, but it had no effect whatsoever.

What is her spiritual energy?

Chaotic spiritual energy!

Everyone says that earth-type characters are best at defense, and this time, she has finally met a true master.

There's no way around it; this is a diamond from the cultivation world, definitely different from the diamonds of the mortal realm. It might even be the hardest stone in the cultivation world.

Well done, Tianyan Sect! You've given her a tough challenge!

The stone figure, as if scratched and unaffected by the attack, twisted its neck. Then, a fist the size of a human head slammed down towards Lin Yitang.

boom!

Lin Yitang nimbly dodged, and the ground where the stone figure crashed instantly cracked with countless fissures, even affecting the arena itself. Keep in mind, this was an arena, made of an extremely hard material. The stone figure's rock was even harder than the arena floor; this was something neither Lin Yitang nor the onlookers had ever seen before.

I never expected Liu Hong's puppet to be not only so powerful in defense, but also so powerful in attack! Who would believe this guy isn't on the Earth Ranking?

Even the members of the Taique Sect couldn't help but swallow hard, worried about Lin Yitang.

Senior Sister Lin is the face of the new generation of disciples of Tai Que Sect, a rising star in the cultivation world, and a figure that all sects pay attention to. Tai Que Sect cannot do without her.

But Liu Hong is too powerful. Is this really not the Tianyan Sect targeting her?

This sect actually sent someone who was hiding his strength to attack Lin Yitang!

I wonder if Senior Sister Lin can survive this ordeal.

However, Lin Yitang was not flustered. Although the puppet was strong, it was still within her tolerance.

Because Liu Hong wasn't the only one hiding his true strength.

She instantly channeled her sword energy into Duan Sui, simultaneously adding fire magic to unleash the Fire Phoenix Technique, and slashed down with her sword.

In an instant, the strike infused with sword energy was several times more powerful than the previous probing strike, and a sword energy several meters long struck the stone figure at the very front.

Then...whoosh!

Three or four stone figures fell down, and Lin Yitang cleaved them in two at the waist, rendering them unable to move!

Liu Hong's eyes flashed. This Lin fellow was quite formidable. He actually knew the stone man's weakness and accurately struck the spirit stone inside the stone man's chest cavity.

That's right. Even the most powerful puppets are driven and powered by spirit stones, and controlled by the puppeteer with the spirit stones at their center.

Simply put, the spirit stone is the heart of the stone puppet; once it is shattered, the puppet can no longer be controlled.

However, finding this heart is no easy task. A spirit stone is only the size of a thumb, and the puppet is so huge, covered with layers of diamonds, that it is extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the heart, let alone hit it with an attack.

This guy surnamed Lin probably possesses the most advanced spiritual energy sensing ability in the cultivation world! Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hit the hearts of three or four stone figures so accurately at the same time!

Lin Yitang also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the thing emitting spiritual energy that she had sensed earlier was indeed the puppet's weakness. She had finally found a way to break the puppet.

Her tireless cultivation of sword energy was worthwhile; its power was far greater than it had been three months ago!

Yes, during this time, in addition to studying spiritual power and magic, I have also been constantly practicing sword energy.

She knew that sometimes magic was useless against certain things, such as hard objects like stone statues, which could not be harmed by fire, water, or wood and vines; the only way to damage them was by cutting.

Therefore, she never gave up cultivating the Broken Sky Blade.

However, she didn't need divine magic at this point; she discovered that she could cleave the stone golem in two using only her sword energy.

After analyzing this, she unleashed her sword energy twice more.

He cleaved one stone figure in two with a single stroke, and before the stone figure could retaliate, he immediately chopped down the next one.

At this moment, all the onlookers bared their teeth.

Although they weren't there and didn't know how strong the stone statue's defenses were, it looked quite tough. They were surprised that Lin Yitang could cut it like tofu; it seemed this puppet wasn't all that impressive after all.

As Lin Yitang continued to reduce the number of stone figures, Liu Hong's expression became much more serious.

He pinched his finger and said, "Stone Dragon, go!"

The next moment, all the remaining stone men and the stone dragon moved and launched a joint attack on Lin Yitang!

Lin Yitang quickly stepped in to defend, planting Duan Sui into the ground and using the Imprisonment Technique.

Without needing to judge, it's obvious to the naked eye that this stone dragon is even stronger than the stone man, and trying to withstand it head-on would definitely result in suffering.

The Prison Confinement Technique can not only trap people, but also resist external attacks. Mu Xiuran used this move in the Twin Lotus Cave before. People inside could not get out, and people outside could not get in. It is incredibly strong, combining trapping and defense.

Lin Yitang originally knew the most powerful defensive earth magic, but who could understand earth magic better than Liu Hong?

Therefore, she did not use the ordinary earth-based prison technique, but the Five Elements Prison Technique!

It is a cage woven from chaotic spiritual energy, within which the five elements of spiritual energy, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining, flow and interact, forming a defensive force that is stronger than the defense of a single element.

Therefore, Liu Hong's attack naturally missed.

Seeing Lin Yitang block his strongest attack, Liu Hong frowned. How could there be a spell in this world stronger than his earth-based defense?

Earth-based magic has always been known for its defensive capabilities, yet Lin Yitang managed to block his puppets' all-out attack with just a single high-level spell. This female cultivator is indeed troublesome!

However, after a moment's thought, he came up with an excuse.

Earth-based elements are strong in defense, but their offensive power is not as good as water or fire-based elements. It's likely that their attack power was insufficient to break through Lin Yitang's defense. But that won't be the case anymore. As long as he keeps attacking, this Lin fellow won't be able to hold out indefinitely.

If we keep at it, we can eventually break through this cage.

The surrounding crowd had also realized Liu Hong's intention: to wear Lin Yitang down through sheer force of wills, relying on a strong defense. It had turned into a protracted battle!

This left many people sweating profusely. They thought Liu Hong, who had been hiding his strength, was already formidable, but they hadn't expected Lin Yitang to be no pushover either. Truly worthy of being called...

Lin Yitang naturally understood Liu Hong's thoughts, but was she the kind of person who would sit idly by and wait for death?

Since she transmigrated into this book, she has never waited for things to happen before taking action. Every time, she takes the initiative, makes the first move, and disrupts the plot.

Only by scrambling can we seize a glimmer of hope.

She drew her sword, the Broken Years technique, and withdrew the Imprisonment spell, saying in a deep voice, "Broken Void."

The next moment, sword energy surged forth.
