"Alright, injuries are inevitable in martial arts competitions. I know Guo Zishan is your disciple, and you are heartbroken that he is injured. How about this, let the best pharmacist in the gang treat his body."

Chen Longhai pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.

This martial arts competition was nominally to determine the top three young disciples of the inner sect, but in reality, it was to select the most outstanding young disciple to be given to the main gang as a talent. As the head of the Qingfeng Gang's branch, he naturally had to cooperate with the main gang's requirements, otherwise how could he explain it to the main gang? Naturally, he could not punish Lin Xiaofei.

"Not only did I lose, but I also lost all my martial arts skills?"

Guo Zishan endured the excruciating pain, gritted his teeth, and muttered to himself.

This time, he was very confident. With his greatly increased strength and a treasured sword, he thought he could defeat Lin Xiaofei, but he didn't expect this outcome.

Meanwhile, some outer disciples around the training ground looked surprised and began to discuss amongst themselves, which sounded very jarring to him.

How could Guo Zishan lose?

His master personally corrected his weaknesses, greatly improving his strength, and even gifted him a treasured sword. With such formidable power, how could he still be no match for Lin Xiaofei?

A complex look flashed in Zhu San's eyes, and he was surprised.

"very good!"

Zhou Huanshan's eyes lit up as he thought to himself.

He never expected that his disciple would defeat Guo Zishan so easily.

Lin Xiaofei had asked him about the advanced cultivation techniques several times, and he had scolded him each time, hoping that Lin Xiaofei would cultivate diligently and not be overly ambitious.

Who would have thought that Lin Xiaofei's combat strength was so strong? Ordinary peak combat strength? No, it surpassed ordinary peak combat strength, possessing the strength of the early stage of the Stream-Entry Realm. Only with such strength could he severely injure, or even cripple, Guo Zishan, who was at the late stage of the ordinary realm, in one move.

Lin Xiaofei gave him a big surprise.

Guo Zishan's sword strikes were domineering and fierce, his swordsmanship possessing an overwhelming momentum and the power of an ordinary peak-level strike.

Chen, the sect leader standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Lin Xiaofei's swordsmanship and palm techniques were as swift as lightning, and his movements were breathtaking. Lin Xiaofei was even more surprised by what he saw. His palm technique was extremely smooth and perfect, and it was clear that it had reached the level of perfection.

"In this competition, Lin Xiaofei won the final victory and took first place in the martial arts competition."

Sect Leader Chen stood up, glanced around the training ground, and a loud voice rang out.

"Haha, I knew Senior Brother Lin would defeat Guo Zishan."

"I never expected that Guo Zishan would suffer such a crushing defeat."

"......"

Soon, many disciples gathered together, discussing and exchanging various opinions, or talking about the fighting scenes of Lin Xiaofei and others, as if they wanted to learn from the combat experience.

"Xiao Fei, your strength has surprised your master a bit!"

Zhou Huanshan approached Lin Xiaofei, looked him up and down, and asked:

You just sent Guo Zishan flying with a single palm strike; that palm technique was truly beautiful. What level have you reached in your cultivation of that technique?

“Master, I have discovered that I am particularly suited to practicing palm techniques, and I have an extremely high talent for them. Before I knew it, I had already cultivated this martial art called the Flowing Palm to perfection.”

Lin Xiaofei said with a smile.

These explanations were made up on the spot. After all, he felt that talent was something that could be described in any way, and he believed that his master could only be attributed to talent, otherwise how could he have mastered a martial art to perfection in just a few years?

In reality, he had already begun practicing the Stream-Entry Technique, but he couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would arouse his master's suspicion.

Of course, he only demonstrated a palm technique at a perfect level, which surprised some people, but was still within an acceptable range.

After all, everyone knows that Lin Xiaofei is a martial arts genius with exceptional talent.

"Haha, you defeated Guo Zishan, which is a slap in the face to the Left Protector in the face. I'm sure Qian Ming will be very unhappy. You've also helped me get revenge."

However, Qian Ming is a narrow-minded person, and he might secretly plot against you at any time.

Of course, as long as I'm still in the Qingfeng Gang, he won't dare to openly deal with you.

Furthermore, now that you have won first place in the martial arts competition, as your master, I have nothing to give you. However, I have already consulted with Sect Leader Chen, and it is agreed that whoever wins first place in this martial arts competition will be able to choose a treasure from the sect's treasury.

As for the second and third place winners, they are not eligible to choose any treasures.

Zhou Huanshan smiled and said.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Xiaofei quickly said.

Zhou Huanshan had been the Right Protector for seven or eight years and knew that the sect's treasure trove contained many valuable items. Therefore, before the martial arts competition, he had asked Sect Leader Chen for permission to reward the top three disciples with some items.

"Lin Xiaofei, you have won first place in this martial arts competition."

From this day forward, you will be a young prodigy in the main gang. In a little over a month, you can report to the main gang.

At this moment, Sect Leader Chen walked over and said.

"What's the latest I should go?"

Lin Xiaofei's mind raced, and he quickly asked.

"You must report to the main sect no later than 42 days later. Otherwise, you will be punished if you go to the main sect. That is, you will start as an outer disciple."

Sect Leader Chen said calmly.

"Understood, I will definitely go to the general office on time."

Lin Xiaofei quickly said.

He was eager to go to the main force to seek development and broaden his horizons, but he still had some matters to attend to in Qingshan Town.

Sect Leader Chen smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

After Sect Leader Chen announced the end of the martial arts competition, everyone dispersed, some to cultivate, others to practice their fists.

A short while later, seeing his master Zhou Huanshan leave, Lin Xiaofei headed towards the gang's treasure vault.

He felt a surge of excitement, wondering what treasures he would find in the vault this time.

Soon, Lin Xiaofei entered an exquisite and ancient treasure vault pavilion and handed his identity token to an old man for a look.

"So you're the winner of this martial arts competition."

Master Chen said that you can choose any item, but you can only choose one item.

This treasure vault has three floors and contains many valuable items, including all sorts of rare and precious treasures, but you can only choose from the items on the first floor.

An elderly man guarding the vault said, pointing to the vault on the first floor.

Lin Xiaofei glanced around the treasure vault on the first floor, his eyes lighting up. He saw many fine items displayed on the shelves, making him envious.

On one of the square tables were various pearls and agates, which were precious and rare items to Lin Xiaofei, including many beautiful jade treasures.

He was captivated by just one glance.

Immediately afterward, Lin Xiaofei stepped directly into the treasure vault. The first floor alone contained many fine items, and he couldn't help but say with a smile, "

"Senior, everything here is a treasure! It's truly an eye-opener for me."

The old man smiled and said:

Not all of them are treasures; some are just ordinary items.

However, since you've been granted the right to choose the treasures yourself, I can't tell you directly which one is the most valuable. So you'll have to choose slowly and carefully.

Lin Xiaofei nodded and started reading.
