Clan Cultivation: Starting with Plundering Demonic Beast Talents

The other three seeded players also obtained some information during the three hours they spent recovering their mana.

Although communication is not allowed outside the venue, it is allowed inside, as each team has sent two participants.

Lin Qingping was right next to Lin Qingyang at that moment.

"Liu Yutong is also a body cultivator. Her magic sword is extremely heavy. She has the ability to fight in close combat. My cold iron shield was easily knocked away by her magic power and physical strength in just three to five breaths."

"So, if you run into her, it's best not to give her a chance to get close."

"As for Su Xiaotian, his opponent is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. When I saw him use his final killing move, he seemed to have a two or three-breath period of weakness. At this time, using a magic weapon to entangle him might have a miraculous effect."

Lin Qingping's combat skills were not weak. Apart from cultivating, she went to the Scripture Pavilion on Qingchi Mountain and read almost all the combat experience there.

As for Yuan He's intelligence, she didn't mention it, nor did she have any information. She basically overwhelmed him with the quality of her top-grade magical artifacts and talismans.

A top-tier array master is absolutely at the bottom in the arena of magical combat, so she is an opponent that all three sides want to match with. This means that she doesn't have to fight fiercely with other seeded players and can conserve more energy in the finals.

At this point, she had shared all the intelligence she had gathered with Lin Qingyang, and was the last to step off the platform.

The second-ranked players from the other three teams had very little information, basically only information about their opponents, and had long since returned to their private rooms on the second floor.

For example, the Su family who tames beasts.

"Clan leader, I apologize. Lin Qingyang's offensive capabilities are too strong. I should have attacked with all my might from the start, which might have given me a chance to damage his defensive magic artifacts."

Lin Xiaofei looked rather dejected. With the help of a high-grade spirit beast, he was the strongest among the second-ranked contestants of the four families, yet he was the first to be defeated.

Clan Chief Su Chengjun waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright. You've already done well by choosing to let the Azure Scale Serpent attack the opponent's main body when you were locked by three high-grade spirit talismans."

"I see that his defensive magic artifact is already 30% damaged, and your cousin might even be matched with that little girl from the Yuan family. Nanhezhai is basically in our hands now."

Yes, in this Foundation Establishment cultivator's eyes, being matched with a pseudo-seed player like Yuan He is an advantage!

It even essentially determined the final victory.

In his eyes, regardless of the consumption of magical power, for example, if Su Xiaotian and Lin Qingyang fought, even if Su Xiaotian won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory and the defensive magical artifacts would certainly be damaged. However, refining a new magical artifact would take at least several days.

Next, the chances of winning against Liu Yutong, who has defensive magical artifacts, will be very low.

The monks watching from the sidelines also understood this principle.

So, several Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a hundred Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators looked towards Jiang Shihua on the stage, wanting to see how this Qingyuan Sect cultivator would decide the list of participants for the second round of battles.

"Three hours have passed, and the second round of the competition is about to begin."

Jiang Shihua stepped out, took out a wooden tube from her bosom, inside which were four wooden sticks. After she channeled her magic power into them, each stick lit up with a ten-zhang-long beam of light. At the end of the beams were two "A" characters and two "B" characters.

"This divination slip is made of second-tier forbidden divine wood. Foundation Establishment cultivators present can examine it with their divine sense."

As soon as he finished speaking, several powerful divine senses probed the wooden tube and the wooden sticks several times.

"There's nothing wrong with the bamboo skewers."

The Foundation Establishment cultivators from the four major families responded in unison.

Jiang Shihua nodded, then raised her hand to mix the wooden sticks and tossed them into the air.

Because there was no spiritual energy input, the pillar of light disappeared instantly, and the four wooden sticks were exactly the same.

Lin Qingyang and the others also randomly picked one and infused it with their mana.

Four beams of light lit up, signaling a duel between the two A's and the two B's.

Inside the Foundation Establishment private room, Clan Chief Lin Yaojiang laughed heartily, "My lad's luck is pretty good, he has a great chance!"

Yes, Lin Qingyang is facing Yuan He!

The Yuan family patriarch, however, remained expressionless. "Brother Lin, my little daughter is mischievous. We certainly won't be able to get Nanhezhai, but if she injures Lin Qingyang and affects the final battle, don't blame us."

As soon as he said this, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators looked over, and at that moment, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered in a private room.

"Of course we can't hold grudges. The reason our sect created this competition is to encourage us to nurture future generations."

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family were also present. They smiled and offered a word of support to the Yuan family. They couldn't accept the Lin family's victory, and it would be best if Yuan He could create an obstacle.

Only when the Lin family is eliminated can the Zhao family re-enter the circle of the four great families, and more importantly, gain the recognition of the Qingyuan Sect.

At that time, they will also be able to get involved in interests like those of Nanhezhai.

……

The second-tier barrier separated the east and west battle platforms.

East Platform, the battle will begin in ten breaths.

Lin Qingyang bowed respectfully, "Fairy Yuan, it's been half a year since we last met. Your cultivation has broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, which is truly enviable."

"Unlike Fellow Daoist Qingyang, who defeated his enemy in ten breaths, how long do you plan to take to defeat me this time?"

Yuan He smiled and, without waiting for his reply, said directly, "I've only come here to test a move. You're Sister Liu's good friend, so be careful."

Her words were not concealed, and everyone heard them, immediately diverting some attention from the battle platform between Liu Yutong and Su Xiaotian.

Just ten breaths later, the onlookers showed strange expressions.

The moment the battle began, Yuan He raised his hand and threw out eight spherical magic artifacts, half crimson and half deep purple, each possessing the aura of a first-grade high-level magic artifact.

In just a moment, the crimson and deep purple spheres appeared intermittently distributed, forming a vertical ring.

The ring slowly rotated, absorbing the fire and lightning spiritual energy in the air, which was then refined into flames and purple lightning, and began to connect with each other in strands.

The late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the front row, separated by a defensive barrier, felt inexplicably uneasy and couldn't help but step back.

The referee above, Jiang Shi, appeared solemn, his relaxed demeanor gone. A deep blue shield appeared in his palm, and his magical power surged around him, continuously flowing towards him, ready to provide assistance at any moment.

Something was wrong; everyone realized it.

Even Su Xiaotian and Liu Yutong from another battle group tacitly withdrew some of their magic power. Originally, the two of them fought to the death, and the winner was seriously injured. They would probably be defeated by Lin Qingyang.

Now that the situation has changed, they naturally won't miss out.

Lin Qingyang felt uneasy from the start of the battle and tried to stop Yuan He from casting his spell.

At the very first moment of the battle, he threw out three water arrow talismans, unleashing the full power of the Azure Netherworld Mother-Child Blade. He even used the water arrow talent that he hadn't used in the previous round.

More than sixty water arrows, each as thick as a tree trunk, including two purple arrows, which, combined with magic, transformed into deep blue giant pincers and densely packed saber teeth.

This is his strongest attack formation to date, and even the Azure Deer King of Qishuitan back then wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on.
