After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 114 Chen Xinyue's Challenge
Lei Yuan Immortal Venerable also showed a look of shock, but he quickly understood.

"No wonder he needs such a powerful tribulation of lightning; he has truly terrifying talent."

The disciples of Thunder Palace looked at Lin Zhao in a completely different way. Before, they were only afraid of Lin Zhao because of Su Bai, but now they were wary of Lin Zhao because of his own terrifying power.

Xuanji Immortal Venerable curled her lips. Even someone as proud as her wouldn't dare say that the Special Yuan Yang Radiance was inferior to the Purple Eye Glazed Body.

After a long while, she exclaimed, "Nanhai Academy is truly blessed with good fortune."

At this critical juncture, the South China Sea Academy actually managed to force out two Yuan Yanghui, and even one special Yuan Yanghui!

With these two people—no, with Lin Zhao, this special Yuan Yanghui—as long as Lin Zhao doesn't perish prematurely, the South China Sea Academy can at least maintain its prosperity for another thousand years.

She now honestly regrets it a little. If she had known earlier that Lin Zhao had this talent, she would have snatched him away at all costs before he actually entered the South China Sea Academy.

Unfortunately, there's no going back. The South China Sea Academy has already included Lin Zhao in its protection scope. With the South China Sea Academy's unwavering support and unconditional protection of her family, Immortal Venerable Xuanji understands that, given Lin Zhao's personality, there's nothing she can do now to take her away again.

Han Yan was also in shock at the moment. After a long while, she came to her senses and looked at Lin Zhao with a gaze so intense it seemed to burn. "Good, good, good! You're very good!"

The fact that even someone with Han Yan's personality could utter such incoherent praise shows the impact Lin Zhao had on her.

It should be noted that although Han Yan had previously shown Lin Zhao a lot of care and favor, this was mainly due to her appreciation of Lin Zhao's personality and instructions from the higher-ups. But now, she truly understood why those old monsters at the South China Sea Academy valued Lin Zhao so much.

Upon hearing this, Zou Zihan and the others had extremely strange expressions. They had just had some issues with Lin Zhao because she had provoked Zhang Tao, and now they were being told that Lin Zhao was the legendary Yuan Yanghui?!

No wonder he dared to challenge Zhang Tao even in the early stages of the Golden Core realm.

"Is this what a true prodigy is?" Zou Zihan gave a bitter smile and exchanged a glance with Gong Jue: "Now I understand why you looked down on Shen Yuhan and liked Lin Zhao back then."

Judging from Shen Yuhan's current appearance, she is not even worthy of carrying Lin Zhao's shoes, both in terms of status and qualifications.

Gong Jue crossed his arms and said, "People don't recognize the towering tree; they only acknowledge its height when it reaches the clouds. You are not as discerning as I am in recognizing its value."

Su Yuchang, the boy next to Zou Zihan, couldn't stand her anymore and exposed her, saying, "Isn't it just because you have the luck of the Great Wind Bird Phoenix that you have a natural affinity for Lin Zhao? It's enough to be smug for a while, don't get too big for your britches."

Upon hearing this, Gong Jue raised an eyebrow: "What, you, the second-in-command of the outer courtyard, have a problem with me, the third-in-command?"

Su Yuchang chuckled and said nothing more.

It wasn't that he couldn't beat Gong Jue, it's just that this crazy woman's fighting style was like her Great Wind Bird Phoenix Luck, never-ending. Even if he won every time, he wouldn't feel good. Over time, the only one in the outer courtyard who could keep Gong Jue in check was Zou Zihan.

However, Zou Zihan was not a competitive person, which allowed Gong Jue to act more and more recklessly.

In fact, Zou Zihan's first place in the outer academy wasn't because he cared so much about the title, but because he was truly invincible among his generation, which forced him to sit in that position. Therefore, he remained very composed when Lin Zhao and Su Ye's aptitudes were revealed, and was even more relieved.

After all, if he were to enter Yanghui Academy based solely on his qualifications, he would likely ruin the accumulated achievements of Nanhai Academy over the years.

After the people from other forces on the Tianhuang Continent arrived and reported the strength of the younger generation, Zou Zihan felt even more fortunate.

Because the Holy Son from Penglai Holy Land was actually at the Yanghui level, while the one from Yaochi Holy Land was a tall woman in green, whose gaze toward Lin Zhao was far from friendly.

Upon seeing this person, Qu Shu subconsciously stood to Lin Zhao's side: "That is Chen Xinyue, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land. She is also at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage."

"Let me introduce myself instead." Chen Xinyue looked at Lin Zhao with a cold expression: "I am Shen Yuhan's senior sister, with a cultivation level of Golden Core Great Perfection and Golden Core quality of Kaiyang Radiance."

The mere mention of "Entering Yanghui" drew the attention of everyone else. In the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, aside from the three supreme rulers who could send fifteen disciples, other transcendent forces could only send five, first-rate forces three, and other forces only one. Among these countless forces, only the Ji family, the Zhao family, and the Penglai Holy Land had produced Golden Core cultivators at the Yanghui level of the Great Perfection stage; the highest others had reached was only the Golden Radiance Golden Core Great Perfection stage.

And this Chen Xinyue actually has the aptitude of Kaiyanghui level?
Such talent would make him a top-tier contender even among the three great masters.

Lin Zhao's reaction was different from everyone else's; her attention was focused on Chen Xinyue's first sentence.

Shen Yuhan's senior sister.

Although Lin Zhao had absolutely no good feelings towards Shen Yuhan, he had to admit that everyone around Shen Yuhan was devoted to him.

Whether it's the somewhat eerie Lingyao Immortal Venerable or the so-called female lead Chen Luoluo from before.

Even he, who was controlled by the system, had to pretend to be deeply in love with Shen Yuhan.

It was as if the people around him should revolve around him, and they would be completely different without Shen Yuhan.

Of course, Lin Zhao understood that Chen Xinyue's targeting and hostility towards her was not solely due to Shen Yuhan.

More importantly, with the disappearance of the Immortal Venerable Lingyao from the Yaochi Holy Land, the South China Sea Academy forced them to return the person, and their status on the continent had plummeted.

Even if Chen Xinyue is at the Kaiyanghui stage, she is still too insignificant in front of the South China Sea Academy.

If anyone is to blame, blame the Yaochi Holy Land for condoning Lingyao Immortal Venerable and Shen Yuhan's humiliation of Lin Zhao and for colluding with the Ancestral Dragon Continent.

The former prompted the South China Sea Academy to spare no effort in suppressing the Yaochi Holy Land, while the latter made the other two giants wary of the Yaochi Holy Land. Now, all the powerful figures of the Yaochi Holy Land have been locked onto by the three giants. If they make any moves, the three giants, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," will likely cause the Yaochi Holy Land to collapse completely.

In other words, even with Chen Xinyue present, the Yaochi Holy Land now only retains the name of a transcendent power, and has lost its former majesty and reverence.

Chen Xinyue looked at Lin Zhao, her eyes slightly red: "Although I know that the current situation of our Yaochi Holy Land, and the fate of my junior brother, are all his own fault."

This statement surprised Lin Zhao. She hadn't expected that Chen Xinyue would still be rational amidst such a turmoil at Yaochi Holy Land.

“However, I still think you should bear some responsibility.” Chen Xinyue gripped the curved sword at her waist tightly. “I know I’m unreasonable, but as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, I don’t want to reason about this.”

Lin Zhao said, "With the Continental Grand Competition just around the corner, are you sure you want to fight me?"

“Then after the competition,” Chen Xinyue stared intently at her, “I want to fight you.”

Lin Zhao understood that the challenge was not unfounded, and asked directly, "What do you want?"

"If I win, you must promise me that the South China Sea Academy will never again suppress my Yaochi Holy Land because of the Lin family. Of course, I can also promise you, as the next Holy Lord of the Yaochi Holy Land, that no one else in the Yaochi Holy Land has any hostility towards the Lin family."

Lin Zhao's expression gradually turned serious.

Even Shen Yuhan back then only dared to claim the title of Holy Son and say that he was the ruler of Yaochi Holy Land, but he dared not touch the position of Yaochi Holy Lord.

And this Chen Xinyue... it seems she is the true successor chosen by the Holy Master of Yaochi.

Under Chen Xinyue's somewhat aggressive gaze, Lin Zhao said, "I really have no interest in whether or not I suppress your Yaochi Holy Land. If you can guarantee that others will not be hostile to my Lin family, I will accept this challenge."

Facing the sacred Yaochi, all she ever wanted was to protect her family.
