After dodging, Lin Jingge glanced back at Tang Cheng and, seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, quickly shouted, "Watch out!"

"Huh?" Tang Cheng responded subconsciously.

This happened in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jingge acted faster than she thought, drawing a circle in the air with her hand, and the green light at her fingertips condensed with her movement.

With a push, the green aura shot directly toward the fireball.

Upon contact, the green light quickly enveloped the fireball.

The fireball that was already in front of Tang Cheng was blocked by the green light. After the two collided, bursts of energy were released, causing a wind to blow around them. This blew Tang Cheng's bangs back.

Looking at the fireball completely enveloped in green light, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had escaped a calamity.

"This...this thing can turn?!" she muttered blankly.

Seeing that Tang Cheng was staring at the fireball enveloped in green light without moving, Lin Jingge frowned, and in a flash, she leaped towards Tang Cheng and pulled her away.

The next second after she pulled Tang Cheng away, a fireball burst through the green light and hurtled towards the two of them.

"It's time to end this." Lin Jingge stared at the fireball in front of her, suddenly laughed, picked up Tang Cheng, and leaped into the air.

The fireball couldn't stop in time and collided head-on with the fireball chasing Lin Jingge.

When they collide, they cancel each other out.

With a loud bang, the two fireballs disappeared.

Tang Cheng then realized what was happening, and she suddenly wrapped her limbs around Lin Jingge like a koala: "Waaah, Gege, thank goodness you're here."

Zhou and Lin Fu dealt with the fireball faster than Lin Jingge.

"Heh, looks like your new trick isn't working. You haven't even encountered a Grand Spirit Master." A voice sounded behind Lin Jingge.

The moment the sound rang out, Lin Jingge pulled Tang Cheng and quickly retreated towards Zhouxuan.

The speaker was a tall man in white, holding a silver folding fan. He slowly descended from the sky and stood still in mid-air.

The person being referred to also appeared beside the tall man in white.

Lin Jingge then realized that the other party could actually become invisible.

She glanced quickly at the two people in front of her, only to find that she couldn't see through their levels of cultivation at all.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Fu and Zhou Xuan: "Is it the Spirit Sect or the Spirit King?"

“Two Spirit Masters,” Zhou Xuan said calmly, then immediately leaped up and released the small golden pagoda in his hand.

His golden pagoda nearly collided with the flying silver folding fan.

"Zheng—"

Lin Fu also rushed forward.

The four did not immediately come into contact, but instead instantly unleashed their magical artifacts, which collided with each other.

"Four Spirit Masters so young, when did Spirit Masters under twenty become so common?!" Tang Cheng tugged at Lin Jingge's sleeve and murmured softly.

Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed intently on the battle ahead.

"Do you know how many Spirit Masters there are this time?" Lin Jingge asked, glancing sideways at Tang Cheng after hearing her words.

Tang Cheng shook her head. Although she had inquired about a lot of information before registering, she still didn't have the ability to find out the information from the admissions offices of the four cities.

“No less than ten,” Lin Jingge said. She was giving the most conservative estimate.

Not to mention there are two Spirit Kings.

This year's group is simply genius among geniuses.

In previous years, let alone a Spirit King, even the appearance of one or two Spirit Masters would be treated as treasures by various academies who would fight tooth and nail for them.

But this year, they've appeared in huge numbers, which is quite unusual. No wonder the academy launched a test.

"Do you think we should go help them? I feel like Lin Fu and the others are at a disadvantage." Tang Cheng stared intently at the battle.

She dared not step forward rashly, fearing she might do more harm than good and become a burden. After all, this was a battle between Spirit Sects!

Lin Jingge: "Let me think about it again."

Lin Jingge frowned, just like Tang Cheng, her eyes glued to the battle.

Naturally, she could also see that Lin Fu and Zhou Xuan were at a disadvantage.

In fact, she noticed even more than Tang Cheng, such as the fact that the other party had an advantage in terms of magical artifacts.

The golden pagoda, which I had previously thought was very impressive, has developed cracks after several uses.

It wasn't that she was afraid to step forward, but rather that she shared Tang Cheng's concern—that she might hold them back.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingge clenched her hands tightly.

She thought she was already enjoying her cultivation, but who knew that outside of Canglan, she was nothing!

[Xiao Shi, can you tell why they were at a disadvantage in the fight?] Lin Jingge asked in her mind.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." But at this moment, apart from helping Xiao Shi with the analysis, she couldn't offer any other assistance.

[It's actually quite obvious. Those two used several martial arts techniques. Given their similar skill levels and awareness, it's normal for Zhou Xuan and his companions to be at a disadvantage.]

In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Xuan and Lin Fu's extensive combat skills, Luo Yu's disadvantage would probably have been even more obvious.

Lin Jingge: [Martial arts?]

"It's a combat technique, similar in principle to the Wood Spirit Technique you learned from Granny Lin, except that the Wood Spirit Technique leans more towards functionality," Xiao Shi explained. "The Heavenly Book says that almost all martial arts techniques have disappeared in this world, except for a few aristocratic families that have some inheritance."

Xiao Shi: [The reason so many people risk their lives to enroll is because the four major academies and the Cloud Cauldron Sect preserve the most cultivation techniques, and most of these techniques can be exchanged for using contribution points.]

Xiao Shi explained as he watched the battle above.

It and Lin Jingge absorbed the lessons of interstellar travel from a young age, and even after eighteen years in this other world, there are still many things they cannot understand for a while.

Even it had to consult a celestial book to find out.

Cultivation technique?

As Lin Jingge thought to herself, her hands, which were hanging at her sides and clenched into fists, suddenly loosened slightly.

A pale green light shone in Lin Jin's palm, though it was not very noticeable under the blazing sun.

With a slight movement of her hands, a set of Wood Spirit Techniques had already taken shape in her palms.

This exercise was taught to her by her grandmother Lin, and it was the one she was most familiar with.

It is very smooth to use.

Above, the four did not engage in close combat.

Zhou Xuan was facing a white-clad man holding a folding fan.

The fan surface, made of some unknown material, gleamed coldly under the blazing sun. The fan ribs protruded and were sharpened into pointed weapons; any contact with them would draw blood instantly.

Many of Zhou Xuan's wounds were caused by this folding fan.

Lin Fu's situation was equally challenging.

This person seemed to be born to restrain him.

His teleportation technique completely lost its advantage against the opponent's shadow-body technique, and was even completely ineffective.

He never knew where the other person would appear next, and what followed was a string of fireballs.
