It can be said that none of the cultivators who made it to the third round after two rounds of selection were simple individuals.
This battle lasted three or four hours, consuming a large number of spirit talismans. Lin Xiuyuan almost couldn't resist summoning Huo Yun before he finally managed to defeat him, which can be described as extremely difficult.
After a few more days of rest, Lin Xiuyuan's opponent in the fourth round of the competition was a senior brother who had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and was just one step away from the late stage!
Previously, when Lin Xiuyuan was resting, he had paid attention to the situation of this person's fighting on the arena. In addition to his powerful cultivation, he also had a powerful magic weapon, which was an umbrella-shaped magic weapon that could be used for both offense and defense.
When used defensively, it is almost as good as a mid-grade magic shield.
The ability to switch from defense to offense is even more formidable, reaching the level of a top-grade offensive magic weapon. It is extremely difficult to defend against, and when it spins, it shoots out segments of seemingly transparent umbrella ribs, like white feather needles, concealing its aura and making it extremely difficult to detect.
Given the opponent's strength, they are basically guaranteed to secure a spot in this competition.
They're the kind of popular candidates, as long as they're not unlucky enough to encounter a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Clearly, the battle Lin Xiuyuan faces will not be easy!
Fortunately, he didn't encounter a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Otherwise, even with some physical strength, it would have been useless, and he wouldn't have been able to defeat him at all. Only if Huo Yun broke through to the mid-stage Foundation Establishment on the spot would there be any possibility of victory.
Facing such a formidable opponent now is difficult, but it is also a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Lin Xiuyuan was fully prepared to go all out. As soon as he entered the arena, he threw out a large number of talismans, as many as thirty. A small number of the wooden talismans exploded and merged into the sea of fire, with the wood fueling the fire and increasing the power of the fire dragon.
With such a strong offensive, Lin Xiuyuan directly unleashed the Spirit Armor Technique and activated the several-foot-long Xuanjia Spirit Talisman, while the magic shield emitted a faint yellow light that swirled around it.
He decided to focus on maintaining his own defenses first, since he was well aware of the power of the opponent's umbrella-shaped magic weapon.
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw small sections of white, transparent umbrella ribs, illuminated by the vast sea of fire and glowing red, burst through the air and pierced through the two fire dragons that were blocking his way, hurtling towards Lin Xiuyuan.
Fortunately, he had multiple layers of protection, allowing him to withstand the attack smoothly. Otherwise, if he had been careless and only relied on his magical shield for protection, he would have been defeated by now.
