Shenqing Zhenjun wanted to cover his forehead and sigh.

Why are they all starting to imitate that little rascal, Junior Brother?!

He corrupted my righteous spirit of "riding the wind on my sword to vanquish demons across the land"!

Now even his natal flying sword has become a deterrent; he relies entirely on the whetstone to strike people.

Well, on another note, where is the limit of this whetstone breaking through the protective aura?

Shenqing Zhenjun glanced at Guo Huai beside him and seemed to be deep in thought.

I'll definitely have to try it later.

I didn't mean anything by it; it was just pure curiosity.

Guo Huai could naturally sense the gaze of Shenqing Zhenjun.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my head.

He glanced warily at Shenqing Zhenjun, but said nothing.

After Mo Han was carried off the martial arts stage, another girl jumped up.

“Mo Yunyun, a disciple personally taught by the Pavilion Master of Chongxian Pavilion, has been cultivating for 49 years and is at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Wow?!

A chorus of exclamations erupted.

Even when Qingyun Temple participated in the sect competition, the highest level of its members was only the advanced stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!

That realm was already the highest realm in the entire state's sect competition.

This Mo Yunyun looks harmless, but she's already at the Nascent Soul stage?

Moreover, she was the fourth one to go up; what level of skill would the other one have to be at?

The Nascent Soul Realm and the Out-of-Body Realm both belong to the middle three realms. Although the difference between them is not as great as that between the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm, it is not as simple as just being one level apart.

If the Nascent Soul stage is about introspecting oneself and creating one's own world, then the Out-of-Body stage is about breaking free from one's own constraints and roaming freely between heaven and earth.

It's like having a perspective that's a whole new level higher.

The power of heaven and earth that can be mobilized is also greater.

Although Ningyue had seen the path ahead, she ultimately failed to break into that domain.

Moreover, her original injuries had not yet fully healed, so Shenqing Zhenjun naturally would not allow her to risk fighting.

Ningyue cupped her hands in greeting and withdrew from the arena.

Then, everyone's attention turned to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng originally just wanted to watch the excitement, but he never expected to have the opportunity to go on stage himself.

However, given my current level of understanding, it's a bit like bullying others.

Before eating those two golden dumplings, the two were at the same level, but the effects of those two golden dumplings were truly miraculous.

Although Shenqing Zhenjun knew that Ye Feng had definitely improved, he was still somewhat unsure of Ye Feng's true strength.

The truth is, this guy simply doesn't make a move.

Even when cooking, I can only control the pot with a trace of spiritual power and can't see much.

Of all the members of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, probably only Jian Qingfeng has some understanding of Ye Feng's cultivation level.

Jumping onto the arena, Ye Feng cupped his hands and said, "Ye Feng, mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

This level is the lowest he can suppress.

Whether others believe it or not, I believe it myself.

Mo Yunyun frowned and asked incredulously, "How long have you been cultivating?"

As a low-key person, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't say that he had been cultivating for less than two years.

But he doesn't like to lie.

So he said, "Less than 50 years."

"How much exactly!"

"What do you care how much I pay? As long as it's not overdue!"

It's really impossible to say for sure what Ye Feng's actual age is.

If someone is a genius, then everyone will admire them.

If he really becomes a monster, then it might be in some danger.

He understood the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind."

Guo Huai, standing below the martial arts arena, was also shocked.

Mo Yunyun is already the disciple with the best aptitude and the fastest cultivation speed in the Chongxian Sect in the past thousand years.

The other person who didn't take the stage was only at the high-level Nascent Soul stage.

It was only because they weren't confident in defeating Ningyue that they let Mo Yunyun go first.

Unexpectedly, the Shushan Sword Sect produced a prodigy who had cultivated for less than 50 years and was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"You wouldn't presume to use disciples who have exceeded their cultivation period to fill the quota, would you?"

Shenqing Zhenjun's smiling face suddenly turned cold.

"Although my Shushan Sword Sect has not been established as long as your Chongxian Sect, we have valued our reputation and integrity more than life itself for thousands of years. By slandering my sect's reputation, do you want to fight me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged, and he had unknowingly reached the high stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

The biting wind made his long robe flutter loudly, and an aura that seemed to pierce the sky locked onto Guo Huai.

Guo Huai was greatly shocked.

He never expected that this seemingly amiable sect leader of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had actually reached such a high level!

Sword cultivators are capable of fighting beyond their level, so what's the point of fighting someone whose cultivation level is higher than their own?

He quickly softened his tone and said, "Sect Master, please calm down. I only spoke without thinking. I hope you won't take offense."

"snort!"

With a cold snort, Shenqing Zhenjun withdrew his aura.

“I vouch for him. He has been on the mountain for no more than 50 years. If it has been more than 50 years, I am willing to endure the pain of being pierced by a thousand swords! What do you think?”

Guo Huai let out a long sigh of relief, only to find that the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.

Upon hearing Shenqing Zhenjun's words, he hurriedly replied, "With your guarantee, there is naturally no problem. I am just amazed by the extraordinary talent of your sect's disciples."

Holy crap!

Sword cultivators are indeed all good at counting explosives!

Not only do they explode at the slightest provocation, but they also frequently swear oaths of faith.

Furthermore, how exactly are such monstrous disciples cultivated?!

On the martial arts stage.

Mo Yunyun looked at Ye Feng as if facing a formidable enemy.

The person in front of me is probably the most accomplished person in my age group.

I just don't know how good his combat talent is.

If someone also has high combat talent, I'm afraid I won't have much of a chance.

Ye Feng himself doesn't really like fighting and killing.

So after Shenqing Zhenjun shouted for the competition to begin, he no longer intended to be human.

A swift and decisive victory begins with acting inhumanely.

Mo Yunyun had already gathered all her spiritual power in preparation for a close-range attack.

But what I saw next completely broke my composure.

I've come to the Shushan Sword Sect, right?

Why did the Shushan Sword Sect stop using flying swords and start using sticks and bricks instead?!

Look at all those hundreds of things surrounding you! Is that something a sword immortal should be playing with?!

Not only did she break through her defenses, but the disciples of Mount Shu were also instantly killed.

Although the technique of striking someone with a club was created by Junior Uncle, the difference is just too great, isn't it?

Even though Liu Yun is considered wealthy, he only has four.

These hundreds of birds flying around you, you're drooling with envy, okay??

"Damn, who wants to rob Junior Uncle with me tonight? I'm so excited I can't help but cry."

"Are you crazy? You think you can break through Junior Uncle's Hidden Blow Sword Formation?"

"Junior Uncle, I'm reporting someone! Someone's trying to knock you out!"

"Can this even work?! That's my beloved junior uncle, how can we just ambush him? Give him lots of quests and we'll have everything we need. Brothers, let's get to the quests!"

"What kind of mission is this? This is only the fourth round. Even if Mo Yunyun admits defeat, there's still someone whose cultivation level is unknown."
