Previously, Li Qinghe had only glanced down from upstairs and hadn't actually seen Ye Feng's face.
Now that Wang Liang has identified the suspect, it will be immediately confirmed.
Ye Feng is the one who came to participate in the assessment...
The battle quickly progressed to its final stage.
Yu Man had exhausted too much of her magical power in the battle with Ye Feng, and her mind was also shaken; she lost two more matches.
Currently, only Ye Feng and Yang Fan remain undefeated!
The rankings of everyone else are basically set; this match is the most crucial one.
Whoever wins will be first, and the other person will have to be second.
Although the battles on the arena are even more intense in the late-stage Qi Refining realm, not a single person could maintain nine wins.
As strength increases, the types of spells and combat methods gradually become fixed.
No one can guarantee mastery of all spells, and there are also various elemental weaknesses and strengths, so those who can guarantee five wins are extremely rare.
This further underscores the importance of this battle.
"Ye Feng, you're very capable. It's truly remarkable that a disciple from the menial tasks area has reached this level."
"You flatter me! The same goes for you."
Yang Fan shook his head.
"Since you're in the menial tasks area, it means your spiritual roots can't be dual spiritual roots, while mine are both top-grade."
But you've managed to find a different path and study magic to this extent..."
Ye Feng smiled upon hearing this.
If everyone were this good at imagining things, I wouldn't have to keep it to myself.
"Do you see those stands over there? Those are the positions of the Foundation Establishment deacons. They're watching us right now, selecting disciples."
Ye Feng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye; of course he knew about these things.
There seems to be some kind of argument going on over there right now...
"Cultivators value wealth, methods, companions, and location. Only with a good master can one go further. Therefore, I will go all out in this battle."
After speaking, Yang Fan took out his storage bag and pulled out a magic sword...
Ye Feng: ....? Is that okay?
The referee was also somewhat stunned by what he saw.
A Qi Refining disciple! How come he has a magic sword?
The moment this magic sword was drawn, not only the surrounding arenas but also the outer sect competition areas drew everyone's attention.
"The sect leader said that unless one intentionally injures a fellow disciple, standing on the arena is the ultimate victory. My specialty is swordsmanship, so... I apologize for the inconvenience!"
That's certainly true. More importantly, Yang Fan used his magic sword to deal with Ye Feng... this rule-breaker.
Referee Jiang Wei, too lazy to ask for instructions again, looked directly at Ye Feng.
It's as if it's saying: Do you want to surrender now?
Seeing that the referee wasn't going to say anything, Ye Feng had no choice but to accept it.
We absolutely have to get first place...
Jiang Wei watched as Ye Feng pulled out a storage bag from his robes and drew out a low-grade magic sword. His eyelids twitched slightly.
So many Qi Refining disciples who had already become disciples weren't short of money to buy magic swords.
However, his magical power was shallow, and he had not learned any special sword techniques. When he wielded a sword, he fought like an ordinary person.
Besides, there has never been a sword duel immediately after advancing to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
But those two guys who hadn't even formally become apprentices drew their swords...
"The match begins!"
Since the two sides were to engage in a fair duel, there was no need to consider anything else. Jiang Wei made a direct announcement, and then commanded his magical sword to fly into the air.
This time, both men drew their swords, so the referee had to be even more careful, otherwise, casualties could easily occur...
Yang Fan was visibly surprised to see Ye Feng also draw his magic sword, but he quickly composed himself, his eyes revealing determination.
Originally intended as a trump card against Ye Feng, now that he also possesses a magic sword, there's no choice but to face it head-on.
Everyone is fair and just, and no one will think I won unfairly!
At the referee's signal, Yang Fan immediately charged forward with his sword drawn.
For someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining, a distance of ten meters or so can be covered in a single sprint.
However, Ye Feng's spells were faster.
Now that their mastery of fireball magic has been revealed, there's no need to hide it anymore.
Holding the sword in his right hand and making a hand seal with his left, five small fireballs flew towards Yang Fan from all directions: up, down, left, and right.
"Pfft... Pfft pfft"
This Yang Fan actually knows some martial arts skills.
With skillful movement, he dodged two fireballs and used his sword to scatter the other three.
Before Ye Feng could regain his composure, he rushed forward and thrust his sword forward.
In the instant Ye Feng parried with his sword, the straight thrust of the blade turned into a diagonal slash.
Both were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and their reaction speeds were essentially identical.
Even Ye Feng's vision became sharper due to his cultivation of the Decomposition Technique.
With the addition of the second level of body refinement, his strength far surpasses that of others.
Although he looked a bit disheveled, he could still unleash fireballs whenever he had an opening, then use the opportunity to attack or retreat.
For a time, the two fought fiercely, exchanging blows with great skill and flair...
Meanwhile, at the Foundation Establishment stage, the argument among the Foundation Establishment deacons had also reached a fever pitch.
"We, Qingxue Peak, want Ye Feng."
Li Qinghe said without any politeness,
"I think it would be more suitable for him to join the Weapon Refining Hall. Let me take him as my disciple!"
Although Chu Shi didn't explicitly say that Ye Feng should join Ironwood Peak, taking him as a disciple was essentially the same thing.
Li Wentai sat speechlessly in the middle, watching the competition below.
Such excellent fighting talents, and before he could even speak, the two alchemists and weapon forgers started arguing about them.
"Your Qingxue Peak is all female disciples. Even if you take him in, it would be inconvenient to settle him at the foot of the mountain for teaching and training. It's more suitable for him to stay with me!"
Chu Shi said with a confident smile,
"You...I will personally take him as my disciple and teach him alchemy!"
Li Qinghe said, her face slightly flushed.
Indeed, Ye Feng would be a better fit for Ironwood Peak.
But she had finally found a talented disciple; how could she give up so easily? This was her trump card in her battle against Green Grass Peak...
There were also people from Green Grass Peak present. As a secondary peak specializing in alchemy, they generally never considered combat talent. They never expected Li Qinghe to be planning to take on a disciple to teach alchemy...
The group exchanged glances, then looked down at Ye Feng's face.
While not exactly dashingly handsome, he's certainly good-looking. Could it be...?
A knowing smile appeared on their faces.
Seeing the two arguing more and more fiercely, Li Wentai interjected,
"Look at him, he's an expert in both swordsmanship and martial arts. It would be more suitable for him to join the Enforcement Hall!"
"No!" *2
The two spoke at the same time, and their shouts were heard not only by the inner disciples below, but also by the sect leader.
Vice Sect Master Xu Hai frowned, then got up and went over.
Under the oppressive aura of the Golden Core cultivator, both Li Qinghe and Chu Shi shut their mouths.
"This Ye Feng has four mixed spiritual roots, all of which are of low quality. The sect's resources cannot be wasted!"
"Once you are accepted as disciples, you will enjoy the benefits of an inner disciple, and your future achievements will also be affected! You should think it over carefully first."
A mixed spiritual root of four elements!
It would be extremely difficult for a disciple like this to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, even with the support of the sect.
Outside, being able to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining would be a cause for great celebration.
After Xu Hai finished speaking, not only Chu Shi and Li Qinghe, but even Li Wentai stopped talking.
It's actually a low-grade spiritual root of the fourth element... Even for a menial disciple, that's considered a very small number.
Li Qinghe looked down at Ye Feng and sighed helplessly...
