Martial Arts to Supremacy

The participating disciples' cultivation, Dharma form, and foundation in techniques completely overwhelmed those of the outer sect. The Gathering Aspect Realm was already commonplace, and there were many with profound foundations and outstanding talents.

The fighting techniques were exquisite and ruthless, and the collision of spiritual energy was even more violent. The array on the fighting platform flashed frequently, making the scene far more thrilling than that of the outer sect.

The first match on the first day of the competition was highly anticipated.

One of the inner disciples who stepped onto the stage had awakened a high-grade Yellow Rank Dharma Aspect, and his cultivation level had reached the late stage of the Gathering Aspect Realm. He had a solid foundation and skillful martial arts, and he was considered one of the best among the inner disciples.

His opponent was only at the mid-stage of the Gathering Aspect Realm, and his Dharma Aspect was only at the middle-grade Yellow Rank. The difference between the two was obvious.

As soon as the match began, the two launched an immediate offensive.

The superior Dharma image shone brightly, its power overwhelming the entire scene, and its spiritual energy surged and swelled. Every collision caused the stone platform to tremble slightly.

Although the disciple in the mid-stage of the Gathering Phase Realm knew he was no match for the opponent, he did not back down. He relied on his exquisite movement techniques to struggle and resist stubbornly.

The entire battle was a stalemate for dozens of rounds, with back-and-forth fighting going on and on. Although the defense was solid, it was always difficult to reverse the disadvantage.

As his spiritual energy was depleted, his movements became increasingly sluggish, and he developed more and more openings in his defenses.

After a fierce clash, he finally ran out of energy and his protective spiritual energy was shattered by his opponent's attack. He was defeated in a sorry state and had no choice but to leave the field.

The outcome was no surprise, yet it thrilled all the disciples present.

Li An stood quietly in the corner, his sharp gaze taking in the entire battle.

At the late stage of the Gathering Aspect Realm, with a superior Dharma Aspect, this is already top-tier in the inner sect, but compared to the direct disciples of the seven main peaks, it is still not considered top-notch.

He secretly compared his own cultivation level with the Bamboo Leaf Sword Technique, and became increasingly aware of the gap in levels between the sect's disciples. At the same time, he looked forward to the appearance of even stronger individuals in the future.

The inner sect is full of geniuses, the battles are unpredictable, and various rare Dharma forms and unique martial arts are performed one after another. Every match is full of danger and opportunity.

As Li An watched, he silently reviewed the flaws in the moves, the rhythm of the spiritual energy circulation, and the timing of the offensive and defensive transitions, memorizing many combat insights and integrating them into his own bamboo leaf sword intent.

Amidst the bustling square, the young man remained calm and composed, exuding an elegant air, yet still attracting little attention.

The Inner Sect Grand Competition was progressing rapidly. In the following days, talented disciples took to the field one after another, making the competition increasingly exciting and drawing gasps from the audience.

Compared to the first day's competition, the contestants in the subsequent rounds were even stronger, their cultivation techniques became more refined, and their martial arts skills became more cunning, with the booming sounds of spiritual energy colliding constantly filling the air.

The defensive formation of the bluestone arena constantly emanated a faint spiritual light, resisting one powerful attack after another.

In a highly anticipated match, the situation on the field ignited the entire audience, and for the first time, Ang Lee, who had been watching the game with a calm demeanor, was truly impressed.

The young man who took the stage was dressed in a dark blue inner sect uniform, with a cold and stern face, and surrounded by an incomparably sharp aura. He was Jam Hsiao, an inner sect member.

He stood on the dueling platform, and his spiritual energy suddenly erupted. A pale golden spiritual light shot into the sky, and a Dharma image resembling a hawk with sharp golden wings slowly emerged. It was a low-grade Xuan-level Dharma image, the Golden-feathered Hawk!

Mysterious Rank Dharma Form!

The entire audience erupted in uproar. It should be noted that the Xuan-rank Dharma Aspect is far superior to the Huang-rank. Even if it is only a low-grade Xuan-rank, it is still considered to be exceptionally talented, a cultivation prodigy who is one in ten thousand, and extremely rare among the inner disciples!

What's even more astonishing is that Jam Hsiao's aura is thick and refined, indicating that he has already firmly entered the early stage of the Transformation Realm, far surpassing the vast majority of the Gathering Aspect Realm disciples in the inner sect.

Although his opponent was a well-known genius in the inner sect and had reached the peak of the Gathering Aspect Realm, he had little strength left to resist under the absolute pressure of the Profound Rank Dharma Aspect and Transformation Realm cultivation.

With a detached gaze, Jam Hsiao raised his hand and the Golden Feathered Eagle Dharma Image flapped its wings, unleashing countless sharp bursts of energy. His moves were swift and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation.

His opponent hastily activated his Dharma form to defend, but after only three rounds, his protective spiritual energy was shattered by the force of the energy, and he was directly knocked off the arena without even a chance to fight back.

Defeated the enemy in one move, overwhelming strength!

Jam Hsiao stood on the stage, his aura of Dharma light receding, causing a stir among the disciples below. Countless people cast awe-inspiring glances at him. At this point in the Inner Sect Competition, he was undoubtedly the most dazzling rising star.

Li An was slightly surprised, his gaze fixed on Jam Hsiao.

With a profound-level Dharma form and early-stage Transformation Realm cultivation, such strength would rank him among the upper-middle level even among the direct disciples of the seven main peaks.

This was the first truly strong opponent he had encountered since he began watching the competition, and his fighting rhythm and the power of his moves were worth studying carefully.

Since then, Jam Hsiao has made great strides, and almost every match he appears in is a quick victory, with few opponents able to last more than ten rounds. He is clearly the biggest favorite to win the Inner Gate Tournament.

Several days later, he finally met his match, Mu Bai, who was evenly matched.

Mu Bai was dressed in a plain white robe and had a gentle temperament. Although he had only awakened the Yellow-Rank High-Grade Dharma Aspect Netherworld White Tiger, his cultivation was still stable at the early stage of the Transformation Realm.

With an extremely solid foundation and having cultivated top-tier inner sect techniques, he overcame all obstacles and never suffered a defeat.

The duel between two early-stage Transformation Realm experts instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. The arena was packed with people, and even the sect elders who were overseeing the competition raised their eyes slightly, showing some interest.

As soon as the competition began, the two simultaneously activated their spiritual energy and summoned their own Dharma forms.

Jam Hsiao's golden eagle form spread its wings and soared into the sky, its sharp aura sweeping across the entire arena, each attack carrying an overwhelming force.

Although Mu Bai's Xuanhu Dharma Form was only a high-grade Yellow Rank, he had cultivated it to perfection. Its roars were powerful, and its defensive and explosive forces were both remarkable.

The two figures moved swiftly across the stage, the sound of spiritual energy exploding deafeningly. Their moves were endless, and their exquisite martial arts skills and Dharma power were perfectly integrated. Sometimes they attacked fiercely, and sometimes they defended. They fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

The shouts from the audience were deafening; this duel was arguably the most exciting battle since the start of the Inner Sect Tournament.

After a hundred rounds, Mu Bai gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Ultimately, there was a difference in the quality of the Dharma Aspect. After a long and fierce battle, the spiritual energy consumed by the Dharma Aspect far exceeded that of Jam Hsiao, and the moves gradually showed flaws.

Xiao Jingteng seized the opportunity and activated the Golden Feathered Eagle Dharma Form to launch a fatal attack. Golden feather blades shot out and instantly shattered Mu Bai's defense.

Mu Bai staggered and had no choice but to admit defeat, ultimately losing to Jam Hsiao.

Besides Jam Hsiao and Mu Bai, three more disciples have shown their talent in the subsequent Inner Sect Competition.

Their cultivation had all reached the early stage of the Transformation Realm, and they had won all the previous matches. However, after encountering Jam Hsiao, they were all defeated and stopped before the finals.

Several days later, the grand inner sect competition finally came to a complete end.

The top ten inner disciples all received generous rewards from the sect, including high-grade elixirs, exquisite spiritual weapons, and rare cultivation technique jade slips.

According to sect tradition, the top ten disciples in the inner sect competition are qualified to be selected by the seven main peaks to enter the peaks.

Apart from Xiaozhu Peak, which is usually quiet and rarely recruits disciples, the elders of the other six main peaks all appeared and each selected disciples with outstanding aptitude and potential to be taken under their wing.

The champion, Jam Hsiao, with his formidable strength as a low-grade Xuan-level Dharma Avatar and an early-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, was sought after by various major peaks.

Ultimately, he chose to join Thunder Peak, a sect known for its fierce thunder magic and formidable combat power, and became its newly appointed personal disciple.

Seeing this, Ang Lee, standing in the corner of the crowd, couldn't help but smile mischievously.

He knew very well that Senior Brother Lin Feng of Thunder Peak was always arrogant and competitive, and loved to challenge the talented disciples of other peaks. Now that Xiao Jingteng had joined Thunder Peak, he would inevitably be pestered by Senior Brother Lin Feng to compete and spar in the future.

The thought of Jam Hsiao struggling to cope with challenges from his senior brother Lin Feng in the future is quite amusing to Ang Lee.

He secretly looked forward to the start of the competition for direct disciples of the seven main peaks, hoping to have a good sparring session with his senior brother Lin Feng.

With the inner sect competition concluded, the entire Xuantian Sect's attention gradually shifted to the final showdown between the direct disciples of the seven main peaks.
