Soon, the teams participating in the battle were divided into three groups.

"Junior brother, you've got guts! You dare to participate in a battle even at the first level of the Golden Core stage!"

Among the group of cultivators from the first to the third level of the Golden Core stage, a disciple at the third level of the Golden Core stage spoke in a mocking tone.

"It's all about participation!"

Gao Yan wasn't angry; instead, he responded with a smile.

"I think you just want to show off in front of Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

The man at the third level of the Golden Core stage sneered.

Gao Yan wasn't going to argue with the other party, but he didn't expect them to push their luck. So, Gao Yan said calmly, "Senior brother, you should laugh a little longer now, otherwise you won't be able to laugh later!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyu's face darkened: "What do you mean by that?"

"No way, with such poor comprehension, how did you manage to cultivate to the third level of the Golden Core stage?" Gao Yan said disdainfully.

Upon hearing Gao Yan's words, the others all revealed their unkind smiles, but they did not rashly join in the bickering between the two, after all, it was none of their business!

Although Gao Yan is only at the first level of the Golden Core stage, his ability to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference indicates that he is not a simple person.

Liu Zhongyu just had to go and mock people.

It's one thing if someone doesn't hold a grudge after you mock them once, but if you take advantage of it, that's rather unkind.

"Alright, we'll see. When we meet in a magical duel, I'll show you how to make you cry!" Liu Zhongyu said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

Gao Yan responded calmly.

At this moment, the Floating Station announced that the first battle would be between the Golden Core First Stage and the Golden Core Third Stage teams.

They will be matched up and defeated by drawing lots!

However, since there are thirteen people, those who draw a blank lot will advance directly!

The lottery process ended quickly!

Gao Yan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the blank sign in his hand.

Liu Zhongyu was also lucky; the opponent he drew was only at the second level of the Golden Core stage!

As the saying goes, a true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Since it wasn't a life-or-death battle, the first contest ended quickly.

Liu Zhongyu also advanced.

But there was still one extra person in this draw.

As a result, blank signatures appeared again.

Coincidentally, Gao Yan was chosen again.

Seeing Gao Yan advance easily twice, Liu Zhongyu's face darkened.

This six-person competition took a little longer than usual.

After all, they were both evenly matched at the third level of the Golden Core stage.

Although Liu Zhongyu won, he was not very happy because that kid at the first level of the Golden Core stage had qualified for advancement without even making a move!

But what can you do when he's just lucky?

But was it really just luck?

If someone asks Gao Yan, he will confidently say, "It's definitely because I'm lucky!"

At this moment, Xiahou Meng sent someone to deliver a Di Yuan Pill to the three of them, so that they could recover their cultivation as soon as possible!

This made the three of them feel grateful.

"Senior Sister Fuyou, why don't I have one?"

Gao Yan suddenly shouted.

“You haven’t been fighting, so you don’t need to recover your spiritual power!” Fuyou said with amusement.

"I didn't fight, I was just lucky, but luck is also a kind of strength. All three of them obtained the Earth Origin Pill, so I should get one too!" Gao Yan argued.

"Give him one of those floating ones!"

Xiahou Meng spoke.

"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Senior Sister Fuyou!" Gao Yan said happily as he accepted the Earth Origin Pill.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhongyu's face darkened again. They had fought two battles with great effort to obtain one Earth Origin Pill, while that kid was just watching the fun from the sidelines and also obtained one Earth Origin Pill.

That's so unfair.

But he dared not say anything, after all, the Holy Maiden had agreed to give Gao Yan the Earth Origin Pill!

In truth, Gao Yan didn't lack such a Di Yuan Dan; he did this simply to leave a deep impression on Xiahou Meng.

Half an hour later.

After the three of them took the Earth Origin Pill, their spiritual energy was almost fully restored.

The battle of wits has begun again!

The opponent will still be chosen by drawing lots.

Gao Yan drew number two.

Liu Zhongyu, who also drew number two, grinned at Gao Yan: "Kid, just wait until you cry!"

"cut!"

Gao Yan sneered and ignored him, which infuriated Liu Zhongyu even more.

The two Golden Core Stage 3 cultivators who drew number one clashed first.

The battle lasted for about 15 minutes before it ended.

Next up are Gao Yan and Liu Zhongyu.

The two stepped into the formation together.

"You make the first move, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!" Liu Zhongyu sneered.

"idiot!"

Gao Yan cursed and immediately used the "One Thought Formation" technique.

Suddenly, a sword formation appeared, enveloping Liu Zhongyu.

At this moment, within the formation, sand and stones flew, and a fierce wind raged, almost obscuring the sun. Hidden in the darkness were streaks of elusive sword energy.

Liu Zhongyu cautiously summoned his magic weapon to envelop himself, forming a thick light shield.

But it was easily pierced by the sword energy.

In an instant, an incomparably sharp sword aura appeared between his brows, on his heart, and in his lower abdomen. A terrifying sword intent seeped directly into his body, making him stiff and unable to move at all.

"Will you admit defeat? If not, my sword energy will pierce your body!"

His words were witty and humorous.

"A formation can be created with a single thought; this junior brother has an exceptionally high level of skill in formations!"

"It's not a formation, it's a supernatural power!"

“Even the most skilled array master couldn’t set up an array so quickly!” said the knowledgeable disciple.

"Floating, what do you think?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiahou Meng's eyes.

"Your Highness, it should be a divine power, and quite powerful at that. I estimate that even a Golden Core cultivator at the fifth level would be at its mercy if they fell into the formation!" Fuyou's eyesight was quite astonishing; he made the judgment at a glance!
