"Greetings, senior brother. Please show mercy."
After Lin Xiuyuan stepped onto the arena, he saw another young man walking onto the opposite side and bowed respectfully.
The young man opposite him, seeing that Lin Xiuyuan was of similar age and his spiritual energy fluctuations were slightly weaker, suggesting that he had only recently broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, smiled slightly and returned the bow:
"Greetings, junior brother. Don't worry, we're just having a martial arts competition. Our senior uncle is watching over us, so I'll definitely take care of you."
After saying that, he gestured and said, "Junior brother, please go first."
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and casually waved his hand, instantly causing ten spirit talismans to explode.
Suddenly, a burst of red light erupted on the arena, flames surged forth, and terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations spread outwards.
In an instant, it swept across the entire arena, followed by a deafening roar as raging flames erupted, transforming the arena into a sea of fire that swept upwards.
This immediately turned the senior brother's face green. He looked at the ten fire dragons that condensed from the sea of fire, so lifelike, surrounded by flames, forming a continuous sea of fire that instantly engulfed the entire arena, which was no more than thirty feet long.
The fire spread, and the scorching heat swept down.
Instantly, the protective aura around this senior brother flickered, as if it were about to be swallowed up by the sea of fire.
His face turned green, and he was immediately filled with shock and anger. He hurriedly activated his spirit shield to defend against the raging sea of fire. But when he turned around, he saw ten fire dragons roaring in and intertwining as they descended.
"Is this guy from some powerful family? He started with ten spirit talismans?! Judging by his appearance, he's probably not simple. Bah, he even said he was going to hold back... He looks ordinary, but he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
This senior student was cursing under his breath.
Perhaps they felt that Lin Xiuyuan was not simple, or perhaps they felt that the chances of winning against such a "scion of a powerful family" were not high. It is more likely that they acted hastily and lost the initiative, and were overwhelmed with the situation.
Ten fire dragons intertwined and descended, forcing him to use all his strength to activate his spirit shield to defend against them.
Immediately afterward, Lin Xiuyuan unleashed his magic sword, hurtling towards them, and several talismans appeared in his hand, seemingly ready to be activated at any moment.
He sensed that he was about to be caught in a series of attacks. He had lost the initiative and could only passively take the beatings, slowly looking for an opportunity to break the deadlock and switch from defense to offense.
If it were an ordinary opponent, this would naturally be the most appropriate strategy.
But at this moment, in his eyes, Lin Xiuyuan was already a "scion of a noble family". Otherwise, who would give ten spirit talismans at the start? Even a spirit talisman master wouldn't be so generous!
It's still a mid-grade initial level spirit talisman, and it looks like a secret talisman. Among spirit talismans of this grade, its power is among the best.
Tens of thousands of spirit stones were thrown out at once!
This is only the power of the talisman. What about the inherited Dao techniques? What about the sword techniques? He is even having difficulty resisting the talisman. As a fellow disciple of Jiuxiao Mountain, he naturally knows the power of the superior Dao techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.
He naturally had no idea that Lin Xiuyuan hadn't actually practiced any superior magic at all...
So, after all these thoughts flashed through his mind, he felt that his chances of winning were slim, and immediately said, "I concede!"
"Huh?" Lin Xiuyuan was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The opponent was caught off guard at the start, with ten Fire Dragon Talismans drawn immediately. The aim was to seize the initiative and then gradually defeat them.
Therefore, he thought that defeating his senior brother would not be a problem, but he did not expect the other party to admit defeat so quickly, which was quite unexpected.
Of course, he had no idea that so many thoughts were flashing through the other person's mind; otherwise, he probably would have found it hard not to chuckle.
"You're too kind!"
Lin Xiuyuan immediately waved his hand to disperse the talismans, put away his magic sword, and cupped his hands in a smile.
The other person's expression shifted between light and dark, filled with resentment, but ultimately a smile appeared on their face.
Although in his opinion, Lin Xiuyuan's move was rather unfair. At first, he thought that Lin Xiuyuan was just a junior brother who had just broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and that he was unremarkable. He had never even heard of this person before, so he did not take him seriously and even put on a show of demeanor by giving up the initiative.
But unexpectedly, ten spirit talismans erupted right from the start...
From another perspective, he probably wouldn't be able to beat such a "scion of a powerful family." Moreover, he knew that his chances of securing one of the thirty spots in this competition were slim, because his strength was mediocre. If he wanted to become a disciple of the main lineage, he would probably have to wait for the next one or two competitions before he could have any hope of becoming a disciple of the main lineage!
This idea is shared by many Foundation Establishment cultivators participating in this competition; they see it as a way to accumulate experience and increase their combat abilities.
However, losing so quickly is truly embarrassing...
But upon realizing this, his resentment subsided, and he forced a smile, saying, "Junior brother is truly a man of hidden talent. It was senior brother who made a fool of himself. Please forgive me!"
"Haha, what are you saying? It was just a little trick I used. If it weren't for that, with my cultivation level, I would probably have had to fight you for a long time before I could win with the help of the talisman."
Lin Xiuyuan made a polite and modest remark before stepping off the stage.
But at that moment, most of the eyes in the room immediately turned to him.
Especially the Foundation Establishment disciple sitting cross-legged in front of the arena, whose eyes were fixed on Lin Xiuyuan.
"They've already won? That was a bit too fast..."
