35: The inner disciple was defeated in an instant, and then the protagonist entered the fray.

Hearing these words, the Xuanji Sect Disciples instantly became furious, and quite a few began to curse loudly.

"This girl is too arrogant."

"Our Senior Brother Lu is a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul First Layer Realm!"

"Exactly, she looks so pretty, but her brain must be faulty!"

"Senior Brother Lu, don't be gentle with her, beat her soundly for me!"

Lu Siqi also heard this remark, and the Spiritual Energy inside his body erupted.

The Sword Light circling around him grew more and more numerous.

Originally, he intended to hold back, as the girl opposite him was only at the Golden Core Tenth Layer Realm.

Moreover, she looked very young, suggesting high talent and limitless future potential.

It wouldn't be good if he, being in the Nascent Soul Realm, severely injured her using his full strength.

But since she was so arrogant, he didn't need to hold back; teaching her a lesson was the right thing to do.

"Take this, little sister!"

The High Grade Spiritual Blade in Lu Siqi's hand swept forcefully towards the ground.

The white Sword Light surrounding him, as if receiving an order, shot down simultaneously.

It instantly enveloped Mu Wanning and attacked.

The white Sword Light bombarded the arena, immediately creating numerous holes on the surface.

The entire arena let out a massive sound under the intense attack.

"So powerful, is this Senior Brother Lu's blade technique?"

"Senior Brother Lu is the strongest among our Inner Sect. Even when he was at the Golden Core Realm, his blade technique defeated five Inner Sect Disciples of the same Realm."

"That girl from the Lingfa Sect is going to be unlucky!"

Su Yun listened to the discussions of the surrounding Xuanji Sect Disciples but inwardly disagreed.

Because he noticed a faint purple light flickering within the descending Sword Light.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Suddenly, several Xuanji Sect Disciples beside him looked as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Su Yun also looked towards the position where Mu Wanning had been standing on the arena again.

He saw that Mu Wanning was still standing there, having not moved a single step, and her clothes were completely undamaged.

And besides the spot where she stood, which remained intact, everywhere else was pitted and uneven.

Lu Siqi, suspended in the air, also had his eyes wide open, and the hand holding the High Grade Spiritual Blade trembled slightly.

"You must have used some life-saving trump card!"

"Otherwise, you couldn't have taken my attack."

"Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Lu Siqi transformed into a streak of light and shot rapidly towards Mu Wanning.

The High Grade Spiritual Blade in his hand radiated a dazzling white light under the influence of Spiritual Energy.

"Rending Shadow Raging Wind Slash."

While halfway in the air, he swung the spiritual blade, causing streaks of white Sword Light to converge, forming a raging wind.

"Still too weak."

Mu Wanning smiled faintly, and deep purple lightning flashed across her body.

She moved her lotus steps lightly, flashing to Lu Siqi's side in one movement.

"What?"

Lu Siqi instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This speed was achievable by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator?

He hurriedly raised his High Grade Spiritual Blade and circulated his Spiritual Energy Barrier.

Countless streaks of Sword Light surrounded him, defending against surrounding attacks.

"One move is enough to deal with you!"

Mu Wanning's figure flickered unpredictably.

She suddenly appeared at six positions around Lu Siqi: above, below, left, right, front, and back.

A faint sense of unease arose in Lu Siqi's heart.

Logically, his Spiritual Energy Barrier at the Nascent Soul Realm shouldn't be breakable by someone at the Golden Core Realm.

But seeing Mu Wanning suddenly appear in six directions gave him a feeling of extreme danger.

"Clone?"

"No, these are afterimages!"

Just as he hadn't figured it out, Mu Wanning launched her attack.

"Lightning Orb!"

It seemed as if every figure of Mu Wanning raised a slender jade finger.

Dozens of massive thunder orbs appeared around Lu Siqi from various directions.

"Such dark thunder orbs? And they are so huge!"

"Not good!"

By the time Lu Siqi realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The Spiritual Energy Barrier around him suddenly cracked with a 'kacha' sound, showing numerous fissures.

Several streaks of purple lightning invaded the barrier.

Lu Siqi felt a tingling numbness throughout his body, and his Spiritual Energy could no longer circulate.

"No!"

A huge explosion sounded, causing the Spiritual Energy Barrier surrounding the arena to tremble slightly.

Lu Siqi was scorched black and fell from the sky, collapsing onto the ground.

"Mu Wanning wins!"

After shouting the result of the match, He Mingyuan immediately instructed the Deacons to check Lu Siqi's injuries.

Several Deacons stepped forward and immediately began healing using Spells.

"Elder, Lu Siqi is fine. He was only knocked unconscious by the shockwave from the lightning Spiritual Energy explosion."

"He has some superficial wounds, but none of these have damaged his Foundation."

"After treatment with Spells, he will recover in three days at most."

A Deacon respectfully reported to He Mingyuan.

He Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, no vital areas were harmed.

However, the Disciples from the Lingfa Sect were indeed formidable, capable of defeating someone a whole major Realm above her.

It seems our Sect's Disciples have run into a tough opponent.

What should be done about this?

The Xuanji Sect Disciples in the audience stared with disbelief upon witnessing this scene.

"Impossible, Senior Brother Lu lost?"

"A Golden Core Stage Cultivator defeating a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator in one move—is this an illusion?"

"Perhaps this girl is just too powerful!"

"I don't believe the other few Inner Sect Disciples are as strong!"

Several Xuanji Sect Inner Sect Disciples rushed towards the other arenas simultaneously.

The fights on the other arenas also began.

Unfortunately, while the thought was good, the result was cruel.

Although the other nine Lingfa Sect Inner Sect Disciples were not as strong as Mu Wanning,

each of them possessed Spiritual Energy intensity exceeding their own Realm, and their use of Spells was exceptionally potent.

The Xuanji Sect Disciples who went up flew onto the stage, but they were carried off lying down.

"The Lingfa Sect's Inner Sect Disciples are so formidable, but I refuse to believe their Outer Sect Disciples are also that strong!"

Several Xuanji Sect Outer Sect Disciples at the Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer all stepped onto the arena.

The result was the same as with the Inner Sect Disciples; within the time it takes to burn one stick of incense, they all conceded defeat.

After an hour, almost all the Xuanji Sect Disciples in the audience hung their heads in dejection.

Not a single one of them had won.

Especially the Inner Sect Disciples, they couldn't even bear to face the Lingfa Sect's Outer Sect Disciples.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight the Lingfa Sect's Inner Sect Disciples, but they were simply no match for them.

"Is there really no one who can defeat the Lingfa Sect Disciples?"

"I'll do it!"

A youth with an unremarkable appearance, dressed in gray clothes, flew onto the stage Riding a Sword.

"Xuanji Sect Outer Sect Disciple Zhang Tian!"

Zhang Tian had been observing from below for a long time and saw his fellow Inner and Outer Sect Disciples fall one after another.

He knew his opportunity had arrived.

In the Sect, he had always been called Trash.

Due to his engagement, he was also ostracized by many envious Disciples.

Recently, he had finally managed to slightly wash away the reputation of being Trash and joined the Outer Sect.

But that wasn't enough; earlier, he had also fallen out with An Yuyao.

To apologize, he decided to challenge an Outer Sect Disciple; if he won, he could enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a Cultivation Technique.

He decided to pick a Cultivation Technique to give to An Yuyao as a peace offering for his apology.

This way, he could surely reconcile with An Yuyao.
