A sword that cleaves the heavens!
Although it was only a sword technique for the Qi Refining stage, the mid-grade magic sword combined with the Foundation Establishment cultivation, when fully activated, still possessed considerable power.
In an instant, an extremely powerful offensive was formed, engulfing the opponent.
With such a large number of spirit talismans, unless the opponent is a genius with powerful techniques, how could they possibly withstand it?
Ultimately, as expected, Lin Xiuyuan won the battle!
Lin Xiuyuan is now a "celebrity" to some extent, and all eyes have been drawn to his arena.
Upon seeing this scene, many people's expressions changed slightly.
"He's indeed very strong. His Taoist techniques seem quite ordinary, and his sword skills are even more commonplace. But he's a spirit talisman master, which isn't important. The key lies in his spirit talismans, and his spirit talismans are truly powerful!"
"What kind of secret talisman is that? It seems to be comparable to the secret talisman techniques of the Lingxiao lineage, right?"
"Moreover, according to Senior Sister Xu, he also possesses a fire python spirit beast at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and can even activate an ancient treasure passed down through generations... With such strength, apart from the genius disciples of the main branch, he would probably be hard-pressed to find a match among those of similar cultivation levels!"
"In fact, if his Daoist techniques were even more powerful, wouldn't he be able to hold his own against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"…………"
For a moment, everyone was shocked, their eyes fixed on Lin Xiuyuan with deep apprehension.
Many people even began to regret their previous sarcastic remarks towards Lin Xiuyuan...
Although it may not seem like much for now, if the other party's talent is not too bad, with such a foundation and methods, how high can they go in the future?
Even if Lin Xiuyuan is unlucky this time and fails to enter the main lineage, with such a solid foundation, he will eventually be able to enter the main lineage after one or two more competitions.
That's the main lineage! The selection process is incredibly rigorous: outer sect, inner sect, Nine Heavens Mountain, and the grand competition. Anyone who enters the main lineage is a top-tier cultivator, possessing unique abilities. It's the core training sequence of the sect, receiving countless resources. Just by doing so, the chance of reaching the Purple Mansion stage is already over 50%!
Therefore, as long as Lin Xiuyuan's spiritual root is not too bad, he will eventually soar to great heights.
If Lin Xiuyuan keeps this matter in mind in the future... I'm afraid none of the people present will escape!
For a moment, a group of people fell silent, their eyes filled with apprehension and a hint of regret.
And among them was Zhong Hao…
Although he had no regrets, he was still somewhat wary.
Having witnessed Lin Xiuyuan's performance firsthand, and knowing that this was not even the opponent's full strength, how could Zhong Hao not feel troubled?
Although he is currently a minor realm higher than Lin Xiuyuan, the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses. Moreover, the difference is only a minor realm, so it wouldn't be too difficult for Lin Xiuyuan to catch up.
He has already shown an overwhelming presence among those of the same realm. Compared to the core disciples of the main lineage, Zhong Hao is confident that he will not be a match for such a person if he breaks through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
At this moment, how could he not feel apprehensive?
"This guy is really overconfident! He actually has the nerve to be such a terrifying person."
Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan appears to have only just broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and is still a long way from the late stage.
Perhaps he will reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm first, then he will naturally have nothing to fear.
The main reason is that Xu Hua made it clear from the beginning that he was targeting Lin Xiuyuan, and I think there was some exaggeration involved.
But looking at it now, it seems that it wasn't an exaggeration at all, and may even have been an understatement.
It's unclear whether Lin Xiuyuan appears to be unskilled in Taoist magic and secret arts, but that's at least on the surface. As for the truth, that remains to be seen.
But the power of the talisman alone was enough to astound people.
Such a powerful talisman is probably comparable to the secret talismans on Mount Lingxiao, right?
It is unknown how many kinds of talismans Lin Xiuyuan, this talisman master, possesses, or how many secret talismans he may have.
With such powerful secret talismans, and given their sheer quantity, one would be virtually invincible against opponents of the same realm.
Not to mention, Lin Xiuyuan's methods include at least a fire python and an ancient treasure passed down through generations!
That's absolutely overwhelming combat power compared to others in the same realm!
For a moment, the group that had been there earlier fell silent, an unspeakable atmosphere filling the air...
...
The second round was faster, with far fewer participants, and it was over quickly.
However, the start of the third round of the competition was delayed for several days.
Because in the second round, the opponents are all using real skills, it's normal to have most or even all your magic power depleted after a battle.
After one day, three full days passed to allow the disciples to rest and recuperate before the third round of the competition began.
This time.
Lin Xiuyuan's opponents are no longer as weak as before.
This is a senior brother with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, only one step away from the completion of a minor realm.
Clearly, the Foundation Establishment disciples who have made it to the third round are all extraordinary individuals, either possessing high cultivation levels or astonishing combat abilities.
The remaining small group of weaker cultivators, like Lin Xiuyuan, possess unique skills. For example, he has special talismans and is powerful in battle. These people are either talisman masters who have mastered talismans, or they have unique and powerful magic weapons, or they are geniuses in array formation, or they are beast tamers who control powerful spirit beasts.
