Chapter 113 The Name of a Prodigy
Lin Zhao smiled slightly, striking a provocative pose, "Senior, do you dare to give it a try?"

She asked Zhang Tao if a top ten student from the foreign language department dared to challenge her, a freshman.
Even Su Ye couldn't help but glance at her and advised, "Zhang Tao is quite strong."

Although it is only a Golden Radiance Golden Core, it is still a Golden Core Great Perfection, and in a real fight, it is still much stronger than the early stage of the Sun Radiance Golden Core.

Even for Yuan Yanghui, it's best to avoid his sharp edge in the early stages.

Lin Zhao gave him a reassuring look, but Su Ye still frowned. He wanted to say something, but Qu Shu stopped him. He looked at Qu Shu in confusion.

Qu Shu said, "Lin Zhao should be confident."

He was confident, of course. If it were just a Dark Radiance Golden Core cultivator, he wouldn't say anything, but...

Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Then let's go back to the academy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zou Zihan interrupted him, "What do you mean, 'go back to the academy'?! The Continental Competition is about to begin and you're still fighting amongst yourselves, especially you, Zhang Tao. How long have you been in the academy? Don't you know what's more important? Instead of competing with the freshmen, why don't you use your strength in the Continental Competition!"

Zhang Tao was singled out for criticism, his face turning pale and then red. He gave Lin Zhao a sinister look, indicating that this matter was not over.

Even though Lin Zhao argued with him, he was the only one who got scolded in the end. It really is a privilege that the academy gives to these chosen ones.

Despite harboring such resentment, Zhang Tao remained silent in front of Zou Zihan, but his gaze towards Lin Zhao grew increasingly dangerous.

Seeing this, Zou Zihan sighed helplessly. After all, he couldn't focus his attention on Zhang Tao. However, when it came to this matter, Zou Zihan also had some dissatisfaction with Lin Zhao.

Where did a freshman who has been in the college for less than a year get the audacity to challenge the top ten in the School of Foreign Languages?
Ultimately, it was because these teachers gave Lin Zhao far too many privileges, causing him to become arrogant even at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Zou Zihan still had a better grasp of the bigger picture than Zhang Tao. He looked at Lin Zhao with a slightly cold gaze and said, "I hope your talent and ability truly live up to the academy's cultivation of you and your arrogant tone. After all, in the Continental Competition, unlike in the academy where there are teachers to protect you, swords have no eyes, and deaths are not impossible."

Although Zou Zihan's words weren't very pleasant, Lin Zhao could tell that he was genuinely trying to give her some advice, so she nodded and didn't offer any further explanation.

Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.

After returning to the academy and resting for a few days, the group, led by Han Yan, took a teleportation array to a desert.

Zhang Tao looked around at the desolate desert, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Is this the Heavenly Phoenix Source? Why is it all sand?!"

Is this kind of environment truly the source of energy for a plane?
Han Yan said, "This is certainly not the Heavenly Phoenix Source. This is the gate to the Heavenly Phoenix Source. The Heavenly Phoenix Source is a small plane independent of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, and it is the spiritual source that controls the allocation of resources in the Heavenly Phoenix Plane. Only when you reach the Nascent Soul stage can you sense its location by using your perception of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's expression turned somewhat strange.

Ever since she was teleported here, she had a vague feeling that something in the northwest was calling to her.

With this in mind, Lin Zhao still spoke up: "Is Tianhuangyuan in our northwest direction?"

Han Yan looked at Lin Zhao in surprise: "Indeed."

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he probably guessed something, so he didn't say anything more.

Zou Zihan was also somewhat surprised. It was not hard to tell from Han Yan's words that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could only sense the Heavenly Phoenix Source and could not truly enter it alone. That was why Han Yan waited for people from other forces to arrive together before opening the gate of the Heavenly Phoenix Source.

But Lin Zhao is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, so how could he have any sense of the location of the Heavenly Phoenix Source?

Zhang Tao couldn't help but say sourly, "The academy really values ​​her, even giving her a treasure that can sense the Heavenly Phoenix Source."

Upon hearing this, everyone's doubts vanished. However, apart from the four freshmen and Gong Jue, the other senior students' gazes toward Lin Zhao grew increasingly dissatisfied under Zhang Tao's continued influence.

Lin Zhao seemed oblivious to the disapproving gazes of those around her, crossing her arms and closing her eyes. Zhang Tao's words were somewhat unintentional, as Lin Zhao didn't want to reveal too much about herself in front of others. She had only uttered those words to verify her suspicions, and immediately regretted not using telepathy afterward.

Rather than letting people think she has a special connection with Tianhuangyuan, it's better to let them believe that she possesses a treasure given to her by the higher-ups of the South China Sea Academy.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks to Lin Zhao when the voice of Thunder God Lei Yuan from the Thunder Palace came from not far away: "It seems that it is always you South China Sea Academy who are so eager to come."

Han Yan ignored him, so Zou Zihan could only bite the bullet and step forward to smooth things over: "The sooner you come, the sooner you can prepare. The early bird catches the worm."

Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable understood Han Yan's temperament, chuckled, and didn't take it to heart.

"You're already in a bad mood. What are you going to do when you meet Xuanji later?" Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable asked, clearly aware of the previous grudges between the two women.

Han Yan's expression instantly turned cold. "Do what needs to be done. My personal grudges with her will not affect the friendship between Liangyi Palace and Nanhai Academy."

Now that the influence of the Ancestral Dragon Continent has infiltrated the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, and other sub-continents are also eyeing the Heavenly Phoenix Continent's position of supreme power, it is not Han Yan's style to cause discord in the continental competition at this time because of what happened back then.

Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable sighed.

"Hopefully, our people can maintain this momentum this time."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan frowned.

In recent years, the strength of the sub-planes has been increasing, and correspondingly, the number of outstanding talents on the Tianhuang Continent has been declining. In the last continental competition, the Tianhuang Continent only narrowly won.

"I've heard that the four major sub-planes have joined forces this time," said Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable with some pessimism. "Back then, when they acted independently, they almost managed to knock us out of the top spot. This time, I'm afraid the odds are against us."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a charming female voice rang out from the air.

"Elder's words are a bit of boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own. Not to mention your Palace Master's first disciple, the Purple-Eyed Glazed Body that our Two Elements Palace has this time is definitely a powerful weapon."

The Celestial Venerable Xuanji, dressed in a purple dress, landed slowly with the people of Liangyi Palace. She looked at Hanyan with a half-smile and said, "As for the South Sea Academy, the strongest Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator is only at the Yanghui level. After this competition, I wonder if the South Sea Academy can retain its position as one of the three Venerables."

Han Yan's face turned cold: "Our affairs in the South China Sea are none of your business! Instead of worrying about the South China Sea Academy, you should think about how much of the legendary Holy Body's power your Purple-Eyed Glazed Body can actually unleash?"

Immortal Venerable Xuanji covered her mouth and laughed, "Even if Wen Gui can only exert one or two tenths of his strength, we still have a vice captain who is also at the Yuan Yang Hui level."

Han Yan glared angrily, but couldn't refute it, because talent, unlike strength, can't be improved gradually.

This is something that is innate; there's no way to change it by human intervention.

The students from the South China Sea Academy felt a burning pain on their faces when they received slightly mocking glances from the other disciples of the Liangyi Palace and the Thunder Palace.

However, there was no other way. As three of the most prestigious academies, the South China Sea Academy had superior talent. If it weren't for Su Ye saving face, they would have lost all face.

The most embarrassing thing is that other forces from the Tianhuang Continent will also be arriving soon. In comparison, will the South China Sea Academy still have its previous superior status in the Tianhuang Continent?
"At the Yuan Yang Hui level?"

Just as Han Yan and the disciples of the South China Sea Academy felt deeply humiliated and powerless, the girl's smiling voice rang out: "I wonder if the Special Yuan Yang Hui counts as Yuan Yang Hui?"

The three were shocked by the words.

The smugness and ease on Xuanji Immortal Venerable's face vanished completely after the phrase "Special Yuan Yang Radiance" was uttered.

"Special Yuan Yang Hui?! You?"
