Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

This sudden result surprised everyone.

After all, one more step and they could reach the finals.

Surprisingly, the members of the Ancient Daoist sect remained calm, seemingly unaware of any problem.

Qingyue asked curiously, "What, aren't you going to give it a try?"

Although she felt that she could easily resolve the issue with him, she figured she could at least put up a little more effort.

Chen waved his hand and said without hesitation.

"Forget it, I just did a divination for myself."

"What is the hexagram?"

"The divination says I need to stay in bed for half a month."

Chen sighed and looked at her, saying, "I don't want to be beaten up by a woman, no, a girl. It's just too unrefined."

"Uh, okay..."

Although Qingyue originally intended to give him a good beating.

In reality, the main principle for cultivators of the Ancient Daoist Sect is to follow the will of Heaven, and they would never do something they know is impossible.

For this reason, the Ancient Dao Sect is the oldest of the five major forces and has encountered the fewest crises!

But this means that half of the semi-finals are over before they even begin.

Jian Changhong was speechless and shook his head.

"In that case, Qingyue advances. Please move on to the second group."

In fact, this battle was the focus of everyone's attention, because Han Ziming's performance in the previous match was too amazing.

On the judges' stand, Xingwu glanced at Lin Yun and said with a smile in her voice.

"If you're going to beg for mercy, you'd better do it quickly, lest you seriously injure her and then hold a grudge against me."

Clearly, she believed that Bai Xiaoxue had no chance of winning and even planned to take the opportunity to win over Lin Yun.

Lin Yun smiled and replied with a playful tone.

"It's not certain who will be the one to beg for mercy."

Only he knew just how much strength Bai Xiaoxue was hiding!

Seeing this, Xingwu didn't say anything more and decided to just wait and see the results.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxue and Han Ziming had both arrived on the field, holding their swords and looking at each other, neither of them making any provocative moves.

A sharp sword aura swept out from Han Ziming, and the sword intent contained in the sword's edge even caused the surrounding air to be divided.

For a moment, a sense of solemnity and impending doom filled the air!

Upon seeing this, the people around started talking amongst themselves.

"This Bai Xiaoxue is quite good. She doesn't seem to be weaker than the other party in terms of aura."

"She's quite impressive, but she's still too inexperienced. She'd definitely win in the next competition."

"Alas, after all, when sword cultivators duel, one side lacks sword intent, which is a complete dimensional reduction attack."

"Indeed, this difference is really..."

But just as this person was speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Holy crap, what is this?!"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaoxue, who was in the arena, also exuded a sharp aura!

Her eyes gleamed, her hair and dress fluttered without wind, and she held a long sword, giving her an air of a sword immortal!

The key was the sharp aura emanating from him, which quickly suppressed Han Ziming!

"Hiss, sword intent again?!"

They were all too familiar with this sharp aura; it was clearly sword intent, and it was coming from a fourteen-year-old girl!

"Something's not right..."

But soon, some people noticed the difference.

"Is this just my imagination? How come this girl's sword intent seems so much stronger than the one opposite her?!"

Although they are both sword intents, the intensity of the sword intent itself is more than three times that of Han Zimo!

However, there were many powerful sword cultivators present, who quickly provided an explanation to everyone.

"The sword intent used by this girl is not at the beginner level, but has reached the intermediate level."

"How is that possible? Comprehending mid-level sword intent at the age of fourteen? There's never been anyone like that in history, right?"

"That's the truth. This little girl, could she be some kind of empress reincarnated?"

"I think it's very possible! Otherwise, how could they be so powerful?!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all stunned by Bai Xiaoxue's mid-level sword intent.

This time, even the judges stood up and stared at Bai Xiaoxue in disbelief, their eyes burning with intense passion!

"A genius! This is a true swordsmanship genius!"

"If this continues to grow, it might even reach the level of Empress Chi Yuan in the future, right?"

"It's possible, very likely!"

"This person is definitely the number one genius of our time, isn't he?"

This is probably the first time in all these years that the five major powers have reached such a consensus!

Almost every faction had the idea of ​​bringing Bai Xiaoxue under their control.

If we were to ask who was the most heartbroken, it would undoubtedly be the Zhao family members, whose faces turned pale as they looked on.

In hindsight, their initial concerns were entirely correct.

But now it seems impossible to kill her even if we wanted to. It's likely that these five villains, no, these five major forces, would agree...

In fact, even Xingwu was surprised by Bai Xiaoxue's talent.

"This little girl is really surprising..."

What's strange is that, given her ability to judge people, Bai Xiaoxue seems quite ordinary in every way; she shouldn't be so outstanding.

Just then, Xingwu couldn't help but look at Lin Yun. Could it be because of him?

With her achievements, let alone in the last few thousand years, even in ancient times when profound energy was more abundant, few sword geniuses could achieve this...

And just then, the battle began!

Without any fancy moves, both sides unleashed their full power and charged out with their swords, colliding head-on like two shooting stars!

Boom boom boom! ! !

A series of loud explosions, accompanied by hurricane-like aftershocks, continuously impacted the surrounding light screen!

Many cultivators with lower cultivation levels could only see two afterimages constantly intersecting each other, and they couldn't even see the shadows clearly!

Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.

"Holy crap, you're telling me this is a battle between beings below the extraordinary level? It feels like a battle between king-level experts to me!"

Among them, Bai Xiaoxue's sword intent amplification is high, and her sword technique is more powerful.

Han Ziming has a higher cultivation level, and his strength and speed are also superior. He is evenly matched with Bai Xiaoxue by relying on his basic attributes!

Even many strong figures couldn't say for sure who would win.

Seeing this, Xingwu raised an eyebrow.

"Interesting, let's make it a bit more difficult."

As she spoke, she looked at Han Ziming and murmured something.

"Restrictions lifted."

That's right, this so-called contestant was nothing more than a puppet she created herself.

Furthermore, considering the need for authenticity, she limited her cultivation level to half-step transcendent, but just to be on the safe side, she left a backdoor in case of unforeseen circumstances.

I thought I wouldn't need to deal with these kids, but unexpectedly, this amazing little girl appeared.

Xingwu smiled slightly and said softly.

"Little toy, break through!"

Suddenly, red light burst forth from Han Ziming's body, and he let out a long roar, his aura rising steadily!

Everyone was stunned by this sight.

"This... he actually broke through before battle?"

In the blink of an eye, Han Zimo's own Xuan Qi strength crossed the threshold of the extraordinary, and his body was almost covered by blood-red light!

The aura emanating from the longsword almost completely suppressed Bai Xiaoxue!

The realm of the extraordinary is one that transcends the mortal body.

It can be said to be the greatest chasm in the early stages of cultivation. On one side, one remains a mortal, while on the other side, one has officially stepped into the hall of cultivation!

Therefore, the previous evenly matched situation was completely shattered the moment Han Zimo broke through!

"It's a bit bad..."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Xiaoxue.

"How will this girl handle this?"
