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

In an instant, a fiery phoenix, entirely crimson and composed of fire elemental energy, flew out from her hand.

The fire phoenix was magnificent and majestic in appearance, with wingspans nearly ten feet. Its entire body was composed of crimson flames, radiating intense heat. Waves of heat and oppressive force swept through the area, affecting even the audience, who felt the intense heat. Its temperature distorted the air, creating a strong sense of oppression and suffocation.

It roared to the sky, flames swirling around it, and charged straight toward Nie Muqing with terrifying momentum.

Nie Muqing was hit by the Fire Phoenix Technique. Before she could even react, the flames of the Fire Phoenix had already enveloped her.

The flames cut into her body like sharp blades, and she let out a shrill scream, but she was powerless to resist. In a short while, she was charred black by the flames and collapsed to the ground, even triggering the protection of the wooden plaque.

The disciples in the audience were all stunned by what they saw.

They never expected that Lin Yitang had such a powerful trump card.

"My God, what kind of magic is that? It's so powerful!"

"Junior Sister Lin is truly a hidden talent. Even inner disciples would find it difficult to unleash such a powerful spell."

"The aftershocks of this fire spell are so terrifying; it's unimaginable how horrific the center of the attack must be. Nie Muqing has really bitten off more than he can chew this time. I've never seen a spell with such power before."

"Lin Yitang truly lives up to his reputation as the original disciple; his strength is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and they were all impressed by Lin Yitang's abilities.

Meanwhile, the direct disciples in the audience seats of the peak masters and elders were also stunned.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and awe, and discussed the competition in small groups.

"This legendary Junior Sister Lin is truly powerful. She's just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, yet she can cast spells of this level!"

"I didn't expect to see a fight of this level in the outer sect. This trip was worthwhile. If I were still at the tenth level of Qi Refining, I might not have been able to withstand this move."

"Isn't this a battle between Foundation Establishment stage cultivators? The fight between these two just now could easily be described as a Foundation Establishment stage duel."

Some people were not very familiar with magic and hurriedly asked their masters about spells, their eyes filled with amazement.

"Master, what kind of magic is this? I have never seen it before. Could you please teach me a thing or two?"

The master replied, "This is the Fire Phoenix Technique, one of the advanced Five Elements spells, and its power is extraordinary."

"As a high-level fire-attribute spell, its attack power far exceeds that of ordinary low- to mid-level spells. However, to cultivate this spell, one not only needs extremely high talent, but also a great deal of time and effort to comprehend and master it. It is truly remarkable that Junior Sister Lin has been able to cultivate this spell to such a level; it is estimated that it will take at least five or six years to practice."

"If you want to learn, it's not impossible. But you must improve your understanding of magic to a certain level. Otherwise, even if I teach you, you will find it difficult to unleash even one-tenth of its power."

"Moreover, five or six years is a conservative estimate. In reality, the difficulty of cultivating advanced spells far exceeds your imagination. Some people spend their entire lives and still cannot grasp its mysteries. Junior Sister Lin was able to cultivate it at the Qi Refining stage, so she probably has a strong talent for spell cultivation. Those who do not follow the path of spell cultivation should not try it lightly, so as not to waste their time."

The disciples were even more shocked when they heard this.

Looking into the arena, True Monarch Zilan had already captured Nie Muqing, whose body was charred black.

Nie Muqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a beast-like roar, staring fiercely at Zi Lan with a ferocious expression, completely devoid of consciousness.

After looking at it for a while, Zi Lan shook her head and said, "It's hopeless. It has completely gone mad. If released, it will only attack others randomly. The only options are to kill it or let it die in the back mountain."

Lin Yitang's appearance at this time was no less than Nie Muqing's, and it was a terrible sight.

Her clothes were tattered and stained with blood and dust. Her exposed skin was covered with wounds, some deep and some shallow, some so deep that bone was visible, and blood was flowing freely. Her face was as pale as paper from blood loss, and she sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Just now, her final attack had used up one-third of the spiritual energy remaining in her body. Now, all she could see was white light, and dizziness and weakness swept over her, making it impossible for her to stand.

However, her eyes were fixed intently on the list, and she didn't even bother with her treatment.

All she wanted to know now was whether her desperate strike before leaving the ring had defeated Nie Muqing.

Because she cast her spell and left the arena almost simultaneously, the timing was uncertain. If Nie Muqing hadn't fallen before she left the arena, then she would have lost the match.

She prayed that the wooden sign wouldn't indicate she was the first to leave the ring.

Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the top 100 list.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the words above.

Before the fight even started, Lin Yitang was ranked 53rd, while Nie Muqing was ranked 39th.

Now that she has defeated Nie Muqing, her ranking has changed from Nie Muqing's to thirty-ninth!

She really did defeat her opponent before leaving the ring!

In her excitement, she felt her blood flow accelerate, and her anemia returned.

A sudden dizziness struck, and Lin Yitang felt her vision go black, as if she was about to faint.

Among the crowd nearby, several people who had previously fought alongside Lin Yitang rushed over.

"Junior Sister Lin, are you alright?"

"Quick, help her to the side!"

Fan Niannian quickly gave Lin Yitang a bottle of medicine and used a healing technique to treat the wound.

"Thank you so much for saving me, True Monarch Zilan!" Fan Niannian thanked True Monarch Zilan while treating Lin Yitang.

True Monarch Zilan shook his head and said, "No need to be polite. If it weren't for True Monarch Xuanhui of Thousand Peaks' discerning eyes that discovered Nie Muqing's demonic possession in time, Lin Yitang's situation would have been even more dangerous. If you want to thank me, you should thank True Monarch Xuanhui."

Just then, Xuan Hui arrived with the disciples of the Enforcement Peak.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he immediately ordered the disciples of the Enforcement Peak to take away the possessed Nie Muqing.

The disciples used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie Nie Muqing up tightly, walking away while looking at her with regret.

While it is common for cultivators to suffer from demonic possession, once they do, it is irreversible, and they can only become man-eating monsters.

A genius of the outer sect has passed away.

Seeing the two groups leave, Xuan Hui turned to Zi Lan and said, "Zi Lan, we owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for your quick action and timely intervention, Nie Muqing might have prevented Lin Yitang from cultivating. You did a great job."

Zi Lan smiled and said, "Senior brother, you're too kind. Protecting my disciple is my responsibility, how could I stand idly by? And please stop teasing me. If you want to take her in, then the person I saved is your future personal disciple, essentially my niece. Don't miss out on such a powerful magical genius; it would be a waste of her talent if you didn't take her in."

Xuan Hui smiled and returned to his seat, saying, "Then you'll have to bring a gift for the disciple-acceptance ceremony, something really nice. I've had my eye on your Beast Taming Bell for a long time."

Zi Lan fell silent. She pouted and said, "Let's forget about it then. Junior Sister Lin is only ranked thirty-ninth right now, not even in the top ten. Let's talk about this when she gets into the top ten."
