Xu Ying, wins!

However, Hua Yunfeng was not someone who didn't know the gravity of the situation.

Within the Beidou Holy Land, if one bullied the weak or even wantonly killed fellow Disciples,

whether a True Disciple or an inner Elder, they would be arrested by the Holy Land and severely punished.

This rule has been etched into the Beidou Holy Land's million-year history.

After all, over millions of years, even in a righteous place like the Beidou Holy Land, it was inevitable for a few malicious individuals to appear.

Precisely because of this, Hua Yunfeng still had a warning line in his heart.

Within this Beidou Holy Land, while there were some things he couldn't do personally, he had plenty of ways to make others do his bidding.

"Hmph, a mere Disciple from a small Family."

"So what if he has a Hegemonic Body? A Saint Body that hasn't grown up isn't a Saint Body!"

"I hope you can cling to life until the day I become a Saint and marry Chi Qingning!"

Hua Yunfeng's heart surged with renewed confidence.

After all, there was a difference of about ten years between the two, and among Prodigies, a decade's distance could create a significant gap.

...

...

"You have successfully passed the fifth stage. Do you wish to continue?"

"Continue!"

Xu Ying said calmly.

So far, he had cleared five stages.

From the first to the fifth stage, all were Yao Beast checkpoints.

The biggest problem between each stage was the quantity; it was fine in the second stage with only five.

But by the fifth stage, over a thousand Howling Moon Heavenly Wolves appeared.

Although the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolves projected within the Tianjiao Pavilion did not manifest their true strength,

a thousand Howling Moon Heavenly Wolves, even if a cultivator of the same Realm came, would instantly be overwhelmed by this group tactic.

However, what kind of person was Xu Ying? His mentality was stable after years of tempering.

Coupled with the Awakening of his Hegemonic Body, he also had a faint desire for battle.

Only after facing a thousand Howling Moon Heavenly Wolves did he truly understand the meaning of his Hegemonic Body.

"Killing a thousand Howling Moon Heavenly Wolves is as easy as eating and drinking for me!"

"Is this the Hegemonic Body?"

"Moreover, the Hegemonic Body factors within me are even promoting the growth of my Divine Bridge!"

Xu Ying was visibly excited, not expecting that intense combat could also stimulate Hegemonic Body factors, making his cultivation speed even faster.

Thinking of this, he inexplicably looked forward to the next stage's trial.

However, he also noticed a problem: originally, after passing each stage, the next assessment would appear quickly.

But this time, Xu Ying had to wait for a while.

"I just don't know if the next stage will give me a greater number of Yao Beasts?"

"Or will it give me stronger Yao Beasts?"

"Could this be what Senior Sister Chi told me to experience for myself!?"

Xu Ying stroked his chin, his gaze beginning to scan around.

And just at this moment, that familiar voice rang out again in his ear.

"Prodigy matching successful. Your opponent is the second on the Ranking (ranking) — Nie Jingyun!"

After the voice fell, Xu Ying's expression was momentarily stunned.

He finally understood the meaning behind Chi Qingning's words; so that was it.

After the fifth stage, it was a confrontation between Prodigies.

Evidently, Xu Ying found this method of competition more like the games from his previous Reincarnation.

In the Tianjiao Pavilion.

A flash of light flickered, slowly appearing in the Void Realm.

This ball of light finally transformed into a line of majestic, flowing characters.

"Xu Ying — Nie Jingyun!"

Upon seeing this line of characters, the crowd present was instantly ignited.

They immediately cast aside the rule of silence.

"Holy crap, Xu Ying actually passed the fifth stage?!"

"No, your focus is wrong!"

"It's his first time challenging, and he actually encountered Nie Jingyun?!"

"Tsk tsk, no matter how much of a Prodigy Xu Ying is, he still suffers from having cultivated for too short a time. You should know that Nie Jingyun is the second Prodigy within our Divine Bridge Realm!"

"He's known by the nickname, Hundred-Pace Flying Sword!"

Listening to the crowd's jeering, it was clear they didn't favor Xu Ying.

Chi Qingning, however, suddenly let out a laugh, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"Let me see how strong your Hegemonic Body is!"

She didn't think Xu Ying would lose at all; she was only more concerned with how long it would take Xu Ying to win this battle, or whether he could fully unleash the power of his Hegemonic Body.

"Nie Jingyun, huh?"

"If I can crush this Hegemonic Body's Dao Heart, that would be for the best!"

"This is a good saber; I can make contact with him later."

Hua Yunfeng raised an eyebrow upon hearing Nie Jingyun's name.

Evidently, he didn't believe Xu Ying could defeat Nie Jingyun.

After all, without Saint Body-level talent, others couldn't comprehend the power of a Saint Body-level.

Chi Qingning, beside him, shook her head slightly, casting aside the Disciples' discussions and instead focusing intently on the words floating in mid-air.

Waiting for the result.

...

...

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Flying Swords suddenly shot forth, but Xu Ying's expression remained calm, his figure swaying slightly.

He vanished from his original spot, and in the next breath, a long sword arced through the Void Realm.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, all the Flying Swords in the Void Realm were cut down by the Dominating Saber First Style.

"Hiss!"

Not far away, Nie Jingyun, dressed in white, frowned deeply.

He looked at the man in black tight-fitting clothes with purple hair flowing, feeling a sense of unease.

As the second-ranked Disciple in the Divine Bridge Realm, his Hundred-Pace Flying Sword technique dominated most fellow Disciples of the same Realm within the inner sect.

He had only ever lost to that monster who was ranked first!

Nie Jingyun couldn't understand why, after only seven days of secluded cultivation, such an outrageous Prodigy had appeared in the inner sect.

His Hundred-Pace Flying Sword had been completely cut down in an instant.

"Junior Brother, could you tell me your name?!"

Nie Jingyun felt a surge of pressure and quickly asked.

But he had yet to hear the other party's reply.

He only felt a chill at his neck, and a saber light instantly covered his vision.

"You lose!"

Scarlet characters appeared before his eyes, and Nie Jingyun, in a daze, exited that fantastical world.

He subconsciously touched the back of his neck, then let out a sigh of relief.

"Too strong!"

"My Divine Bridge is over two hundred zhang, and my vast spiritual Qi couldn't be fully unleashed, and I just lost like that!"

"Who exactly is he?"

Nie Jingyun smiled bitterly, quickly stood up, and walked outside.

At the same time.

In the Tianjiao Garden, the characters in the air also began to change.

"Xu Ying wins!"

After these simple three characters appeared, everyone present was surprised.

Some people, who had words on the tip of their tongues, stopped abruptly, their faces flushing red.

"How could it be so fast!"

"Nie Jingyun is truly useless!"

"Damn it!"

Hua Yunfeng's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.
