"I don't think so. That's just a temporary display of power. The real attack is still in the knife in his hand."

After a while, the dust settled, and the energy returned to calm.

To their surprise, Xiao Fan remained standing quietly in place, while Yao Jianfeng lay on the ground some distance away, a bitter smile on his face.

"I am no match for you. Thank you for showing mercy."

Although Yao Jianfeng knew that his elders and the sect leader would not let him perish in this battle, they were holding back, so he could suffer less pain.

The bitter truth for him was that he couldn't beat Xiao Fan.

I thought I could take advantage of my recent progress in cultivation to achieve something and show off, but I never expected to become someone else's stepping stone.

Snap, snap snap, snap snap snap.

Thunderous applause erupted and lasted for quite a while.

Shen Qianjun stepped forward and addressed everyone:

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Both of you are quite remarkable, and the competition was also very exciting. Xiao Fan has truly broadened my horizons. At such a young age and with such a small frame, he possesses incredible power. Not bad, not bad at all. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Xiao Fan exited the battle mode and reverted to his somewhat simple and honest demeanor.

However, the people of Lingyan Pavilion dare not underestimate Xiao Fan now.

Then Shen Qianjun looked at Yao Jianfeng, who seemed somewhat dejected, and said:

"Yao Jianfeng, your performance was also very good. Although you lost by a small margin, temporary wins and losses are not important. The future is still promising. Keep up the good work and don't be discouraged."

Hearing the Second Pavilion Master's encouragement, Yao Jianfeng's expression brightened. He then subconsciously looked at Shen Mengying, who nodded at him.

Yao Jianfeng was instantly revitalized, feeling like he could do it again.

At this moment, a somewhat faint yet authoritative voice rang out.

"Sect Master Shen is right, Yao Jianfeng. Don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work. The road ahead is long. That young friend Xiao Fan taught you a lesson. Don't underestimate people in the future."

Qin Feng looked over with some curiosity and saw an elderly man in a wheelchair, with a pale face and injuries on his body.

Upon hearing the voice and seeing the newcomer, the people of Lingyan Pavilion quickly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Grand Pavilion Master."
