At this time, besides those who were on the last mission, many outer disciples also became Lin Yitang's admirers. This is the benefit of strength.

Lin Yitang remained on the arena for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, but still no one dared to challenge her. Everyone was terrified by her Fire Phoenix Technique and knew they couldn't withstand it.

In addition, those who are stronger than her are ranked ahead of her and will not challenge her for being ranked thirty-ninth.

She sighed and had no choice but to step down from the ring and turn to challenge the others.

She chose a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator ranked eighteenth. Being able to rank among the top twenty in the outer sect of a major sect clearly meant they were no ordinary people.

Like Lin Yitang, this outer disciple did not belong to any specific peak, but rather to an outer peak that all outer disciples of the Taique Sect entered together.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Lin Yitang, and then the fight began.

Lin Yitang quickly achieved victory.

Although these powerful outer disciples were all fierce warriors who fought their way up from the bottom, they did not have enough qualifications and resources. Their spiritual energy purity and content were far inferior to Lin Yitang's. Lin Yitang defeated them using only basic five-element spells.

Lin Yitang then challenged several other people, all of whom were ranked in the top 20 at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the winners and losers were determined very quickly.

This relieved Lin Yitang. It seemed she had been overly cautious. Her strength was indeed far superior to that of others of the same level, so there was no need to worry so much.

By noon, she had reached eleventh place, just one place away from the top ten.

She has now challenged all the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators on the top 100 list, including the highest-ranked ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, truly achieving invincibility among her peers in the outer sect of the Tai Que Sect.

Those above her now are mostly experts at the tenth level of Qi Refining or the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

To be honest, she has no problem challenging opponents of the same level, but she struggles against those at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Even within the Qi Refining stage, the difference between levels is still as vast as a mountain. She could only slightly defeat a Dan cultivator like Nie Muqing, let alone those Qi Refining level 10 cultivators who specialize in combat.

Without using advanced magic, there's no doubt she's no match for her opponent!

Should I use advanced magic or not? I'm troubled.

If you use advanced spells too early, the moment your opponent reacts and defends against the attack will definitely be the moment you fall into a disadvantageous position.

Her goal is to be in the top three, but the eleven people ahead of her are all at the tenth level of Qi Refining or at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. How can she possibly reach the top three?

After thinking for a while, she made up her mind and decided to try to challenge the top three people directly.

Her original spiritual energy reserves were comparable to those of an ordinary Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator, but now she needs to suppress demonic energy and cannot use her full strength. If she uses advanced spells, she can only use them a maximum of twice.

She could only take a gamble, hoping that two advanced spells could defeat a peak Qi Refining level 10 cultivator!

Last time, she was at the eighth level of Qi Refining and defeated a peak third-tier snake demon, using a total of four high-level spells.

But this time she is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and a cultivator's body is more fragile than a demon beast's. As long as she doesn't let him react in time, she might be able to succeed.

With that in mind, she walked toward the arena of the third-ranked cultivator.

The cultivator currently in third place is an older cultivator, and he is probably participating in the disciple competition for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The audience was in an uproar when Lin Yitang challenged the top three strongest opponents.

"Has she gone mad? She actually challenged one of the top three experts!"

"Even if she's quite strong, the difference between the ninth level of Qi Refining and the peak of the tenth level is enormous. She's courting death!"

"Perhaps she wanted to show off in front of the peak masters and catch their attention."

"But she has already obtained the title of invincible among her peers, so she should be qualified to be selected to enter the inner sect. If she challenges someone with such a high cultivation level now and gets badly beaten, it might backfire."

Some people scoffed at Lin Yitang and sneered.

"I think she probably just wanted to attract attention and make the peak leaders think she was brave. But little did she know that this would only ruin other people's goodwill."

However, some of the disciples who had previously done group tasks with Lin Yitang had their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation as they cheered and encouraged each other from below the arena.

"Go, Senior Sister Lin! We believe in you!"

The cultivator ranked third was already middle-aged, and it seemed that he would run out of lifespan if he didn't establish his foundation soon.

He looked at Lin Yitang and said earnestly, "Young friend, I advise you to give up. Although your strength is not bad, it is still somewhat inferior to mine. Continuing to fight will only result in serious injury."

Lin Yitang smiled and said, "We've come this far, which cultivator would give up? How would we know if we can win if we don't try? There's one good thing about this competition: even if you fail, you won't die, and if you succeed, you can move forward. Anyone who doesn't try is a fool."

However, the middle-aged cultivator gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Seeing how energetic you young people are, I really have to admire you. You young people still have a chance, but for us who are about to run out of lifespan, this may be the last chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill. If we fail, we can only stop at a hundred years old and will never be able to continue on the path of immortality."

Lin Yitang remained unmoved and said, "Cultivation is all about who is strong survives to the end. If you truly have the strength, why worry about these things? Besides, aren't you already in third place?"

Seeing that Lin Yitang remained unmoved by either persuasion or coercion, the middle-aged cultivator sighed again and said, "Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight. I hope you won't regret it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged cultivator moved and his aura suddenly increased.

He threw a punch at Lin Yitang, the force of which was fierce and terrifying.

Lin Yitang's pupils contracted slightly; this person was actually a body cultivator!

Body cultivation is a very special cultivation method in the cultivation world. They do not cultivate spiritual energy, but instead enhance their strength through body tempering. Body cultivators possess extremely strong bodies, making them difficult to penetrate with ordinary attacks. Moreover, body cultivators are extremely rare, almost one in ten thousand.

Lin Yitang knew of the existence of body cultivators, but had never actually seen one. She never expected that the third-ranked cultivator would be a body cultivator.

Facing the middle-aged cultivator's fist, Lin Yitang dared not be careless. She quickly activated her spiritual power, condensing several earthen shields in front of her.

boom!

The fist collided with the earthen shield, producing a deafening roar. Lin Yitang felt a jolt throughout her body as the earthen shield shattered instantly. She was forced back by the force, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

The middle-aged cultivator, having landed a successful blow, sneered. He turned and launched a relentless barrage of punches and kicks at Lin Yitang.

Lin Yitang quickly used her movement technique to dodge, while simultaneously channeling her spiritual energy to counterattack. However, the middle-aged cultivator's physical body was simply too strong, and her attacks were unable to penetrate his defenses.

After only a few rounds, Lin Yitang was defeated and suffered several bruises and internal organ turmoil.

She gritted her teeth, tried her best to defend herself, and looked for an opportunity.

The audience shook their heads and sighed upon seeing this.

"It seems Lin Yitang has met her match this time. The physical bodies of body cultivators are incredibly strong, and she simply cannot break through them."

"Yes, and this middle-aged cultivator is experienced and ruthless in every move. Although Lin Yitang is courageous, he is ultimately too young and impetuous, and overestimates his abilities."

"If she had played it safe, she could have made it into the top ten. But now, she'll probably be lying in her cave for months."
