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

On the stage, Chen Qi stood tall and proud, his tone full of arrogance: "Lin Yitang, make your move. I'll give you a three-move head start since you're a woman."

Lin Yitang snorted coldly. Of course, she wasn't naive enough to think she could easily defeat Chen Qi. But she wasn't unprepared for the competition either.

The reason she dared to challenge the seventh level of Qi Refining was actually because she discovered a surprising secret during her cultivation last night.

She can move the spiritual flower directly into her body with her mind, without needing to take it out and put it in her mouth. Moreover, once it touches her dantian, the spiritual energy within the flower will instantly be converted into cultivation energy or spiritual energy, without needing to absorb it deliberately, saving the time of spiritual energy conversion!

She named this spiritual flower "Five-Petal Begonia" because it looked like the white begonia she had seen in her previous life, and each flower had five petals.

With this discovery, Lin Yitang's confidence increased greatly. She thought that if the spiritual energy in her body ran out, she could simply use the Five Cauldrons Begonia to replenish it, so she didn't have to worry about not having enough spiritual energy.

Anyway, Chen Qi was just bullying her, who was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, because he was at the seventh level of Qi Refining. It wouldn't be too much for her to use her cheat ability, right?

Lin Yitang replied, "No need. Senior Brother Chen is confident in his strength and gave me three moves. I'm afraid I might hurt him badly. If that happens, Senior Sister Ye will feel guilty. After all, I'm Senior Sister Ye's good friend, and I can't bear to see her like that."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi's face darkened, feeling that he had been underestimated.

"Fine, what arrogance!" he sneered. "Since that's how it is, then I won't hold back! I'll show you what real strength is!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qi moved swiftly and instantly appeared in front of Lin Yitang. He formed a hand seal, and golden spiritual energy flowed rapidly in his hands, eventually condensing into ten golden spiritual swords.

The golden sword gleamed with a yellow light, appearing incredibly sharp. Ten spirit swords were arranged in a circle, radiating terrifying power. This was Chen Qi's signature move, the Ten Swords Formation!

Looking at the ten spirit swords floating in the air, Lin Yitang frowned.

Chen Qi possesses the three spiritual roots of metal, wood, and earth. According to the Tai Que Sect's rules for accepting disciples, those entering the outer sect generally need three or four spiritual roots, while those entering the inner sect generally need one or two. Entering the inner sect is already a minority, and among them, only a small minority will be chosen as personal disciples by Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation experts. Therefore, Chen Qi is indeed a genius among his generation, and judging from the quality of his spiritual energy, he is indeed a person who has practiced diligently.

Chen Qi channeled his spiritual energy, causing the spirit swords to hum and emit terrifying light. With a swift turn, ten spirit swords, carrying a powerful gust of wind, shot towards Lin Yitang.

This sword strike incorporated all the power of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, making it incredibly powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

The outer disciples below the stage couldn't help but gasp when they saw this.

“Such a strong spiritual energy!”

"As expected of Senior Brother Chen, his moves and the quality of his spiritual energy are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve."

"Lin Yitang is probably going to suffer a great loss this time."

However, Lin Yitang was not afraid and also made a hand gesture.

She quickly learned the casting process of the fireball spell and mobilized the fire elemental energy within her body.

Although the original owner was a sword cultivator, the ordinary spiritual sword she used, which was provided by the inner sect, shattered due to the spiritual energy she couldn't withstand during practice some time ago, so she didn't have a suitable weapon to use.

She could only try the basic Five Elements spells she had learned in class today.

Lin Yitang's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals. Spiritual energy flowed rapidly in her hands, eventually coalescing into a fireball the size of a fist. The fireball was entirely crimson, its surface crackling with flames and radiating intense heat.

She hurled the fireball at Chen Qi's spirit sword. The fireball arced through the air and collided violently with the golden sword.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the fireball and the spirit sword erupted with a blinding light and a scorching shockwave. The flames and sword light intertwined, emitting a series of sharp whistling sounds as they cut through the air.

When the smoke cleared, everyone was astonished to find that Lin Yitang's fireball had actually blocked Chen Qi's spirit sword!

Not only that, after the fireball defeated the golden sword, its remaining spiritual energy rushed towards Chen Qi, striking him squarely in the chest. The force was like a heavy hammer blow.

Chen Qi felt a tightness in his chest, his blood surging, a sweet taste in his throat, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood.

His face was grim; he hadn't expected Lin Yitang to be so strong.

Lin Yitang hadn't expected her spiritual power to be so great.

She had thought she would need the power of Wu Dingtang to defeat Chen Qi, but it seems that she doesn't need it now.

She instantly understood the principle behind it.

The original owner stayed at the fifth level of Qi Refining for five years, a full five years. It's impossible that there was no progress at all.

She's simply stuck at this cultivation level because of a psychological barrier preventing her from breaking through to the next realm. In reality, her spiritual energy has been continuously growing and refining, never ceasing.

Her skills are also constantly improving.

Compared to the spiritual energy content and quality of Chen Qi's attack, Lin Yitang possesses enough spiritual energy to defeat a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator two levels higher without needing any external assistance.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yitang smiled.

Since she has this kind of strength, she doesn't need to resort to tricks; a normal duel will suffice!

Lin Yitang then tried four other basic Five Elements spells, each of which forced Chen Qi to retreat repeatedly.

The disciples watching were dumbfounded. They never expected that a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining could chase and beat a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"Lin Yitang's spiritual energy is of such high quality. How many times did she compress it during her cultivation to produce this spiritual energy?"

"And the amount of spiritual energy is also so much. Look at Chen Qi, he turned pale after using the Ten Swords Formation only two or three times, and his spiritual energy was almost gone. Lin Yitang, on the other hand, is still radiant, as if she has an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy."

"Is this the strength of an inner disciple? It seems that the outer disciples are still no match for the inner disciples. This is too abnormal."

"This kind of leap in skill level is comparable to Senior Sister Ye's, isn't it?"

"No, she's even more monstrous than Senior Sister Ye. Although Senior Sister Ye is strong, there's no precedent for her challenging opponents two levels higher. But Lin Yitang, with her fifth-level Qi Refining cultivation, actually defeated Chen Qi, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, without giving him a chance to fight back!"

As the battle progressed, Chen Qi gradually lost his strength. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned pale. Each swing of the golden sword was extremely strenuous.

After using his golden sword to defend against Lin Yitang's water arrow for the last time, he completely exhausted his spiritual energy. His body went limp, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yitang was also panting heavily, her spiritual energy was also greatly depleted, but she was very happy inside.

It worked!

She won her first ever sparring match!

Although she won by relying on the original owner's cultivation achievements, she used the basic Five Elements spells that she had just learned. As she used them more often, she became more and more proficient in the basic Five Elements spells. At first, they were a bit shaky and unstable, but in the end, she was able to control them freely.

She won her first indirect confrontation with Ye Qiuli!
