With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

To be fair, Wen Nanfeng's words did have some merit.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that he was indeed a man of good manners and could accept defeat gracefully; their initial surprise turned into admiration. Even though he lost the contest today, his character remained intact.

"Yes, the battle between me and Senior Sister Yun just now was too fast. I didn't expect her to have mastered a new sword move. I should have slowed down." Lin Ya said lightly, "Even Senior Brother Wen was having some trouble keeping up. I'm afraid I will also lose to Senior Sister Yun."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Lin Ya was being overly modest.

She's already at the peak of the Golden Core stage, just one step away from forming the Nascent Soul stage. Don't underestimate her just because she's only one realm higher than Wen Nanfeng; the higher one's cultivation level, the difference between even one realm is like heaven and earth.

If Yun Zhen were truly formidable, she wouldn't need to be slow; she could still defeat Lin Ya.

The only explanation for his swift defeat at Lin Ya's hands is that he was simply outmatched in skill.

Do you think the enemy will wait for you to be ready before making a move when it's a matter of life and death?
"Xiaoya, you're being too modest. In terms of cultivation, Tenth Sister is no match for you. If she were stronger than you, she wouldn't have been defeated so quickly." A handsome man stepped out from the crowd, his noble air innate and something no one could imitate.

"Senior Brother Yun, you flatter me." Lin Ya smiled. "Actually, I feel ashamed to say that I don't really like fighting and killing. I prefer to be carefree and especially admire those immortals in stories who do whatever they want. I want to cultivate immortality so that I can become a happy immortal. I know that only when I am strong can I truly do whatever I want. I don't really have any great ambitions."

“No wonder Xiaoya always makes decisive moves in the competitions, without much study of various techniques.” Yun Xuan chuckled. “Actually, as long as your cultivation is strong enough, the techniques don’t matter. Xiaoya’s performance today proves that point.”

“I really have a headache about those things.” Lin Ya pretended to be troubled. “I’ve thought about studying them, but maybe I really don’t have the talent, or maybe it’s just not the right time for me to use them. I’m not that nervous. Cultivation is all about following your heart. I can’t force myself to do those things. If I do something wrong, it might affect my state of mind.”

“Indeed, we cannot let small things cause us to lose big.” Wen Nanfeng took over the conversation, his gaze sweeping over Yun Xuan, his expression becoming somewhat cold. At the same time, he frowned slightly, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.

Yun Xuan just smiled, a smile that was clearly genuine, but her gaze towards Wen Nanfeng was anything but friendly.

Everyone could sense an unseen struggle and clash between the two. The sect disciples were actually quite used to this kind of scene.

Lin Ya is too beautiful, isn't it normal for people to like her?
She also possesses exceptional talent; who wouldn't want to become her Daoist partner? Let alone Yun Xuan and Wen Nanfeng of our sect, even the most outstanding talents in the entire cultivation world wouldn't overlook Lin Ya's existence. Even those without the intention of becoming her Daoist partner would rarely refuse to get to know her.

"Senior Brother Wen, how are your injuries? You should heal them quickly." Seeing Wen Nanfeng frown, Lin Ya became anxious. "I'll help you back."

"Thank you, Junior Sister Lin." Wen Nanfeng did not refuse and was led away from the martial arts arena by Lin Ya.

In fact, the sect competition had already continued while the group was talking.

After all, it's a sect competition, so it can't just be a single match. There needs to be continuous ranking, grouping, and then more matches. Many disciples participate in the sect competition. Participation brings rewards and increases contribution points, so generally, sect disciples won't miss it.

But now that it's almost over, it's almost finished.

The client was just unlucky; he was assigned to compete against Lin Ya at this time. If he lost, there would be no follow-up; only if he won could the competition continue.

Just now, Azhen and Wen Nanfeng had a match, which still caused a small shock to the sect. Even if there were no more matches, everyone would still remember that she defeated Wen Nanfeng in just seven moves today.

Wen Nanfeng had already competed and emerged victorious, meaning the competition could continue. As long as he continued to win, the sect disciples would inevitably remember that he had been defeated by Yun Zhen in seven moves today.

Of course, Wen Nanfeng was being taken back to his residence by Lin Ya at the moment and didn't think about so much. The elders in charge of this sect competition, however, were whispering among themselves, marveling at Azhen's talent, but also feeling that she was born at the wrong time, as Lin Ya had completely overshadowed her.

No matter how strong her comprehension is, and how well she can comprehend sword techniques like today, in the face of truly powerful strength, no technique is of any use.

At this moment, Azhen also returned to her residence.

Seeing the blood flowing continuously from her body, Ling Fang felt very distressed: "Your Highness, the sword techniques you used today seem a bit too much."

Why bother getting angry with that bitch Wen Nanfeng?

Azhen said nonchalantly, "Since I've already used it, I'm confident in my abilities, so there's no need to worry."

She deliberately didn't use much power to control those sword techniques. Otherwise, if she used such powerful sword techniques and the power she used exceeded her body's tolerance, yet she didn't suffer any damage, it would have aroused suspicion from the sect's higher-ups.

In this cultivation world, demons are invaders, evil, and extremely hostile to cultivators and mortals. They even prey on cultivators and ordinary people. Demons are universally hated here, and if any sect disciple exhibits abnormal behavior, the sect will conduct an investigation to prevent demons from infiltrating.

For example, when Lin Ya displayed her amazing strength, the entire sect carefully investigated and confirmed that she was indeed not related to the demon race, but only had special talents, which put their minds at ease.

Although A-Zhuang is not afraid of inspections, there is no need to create so much trouble.

“Your Highness will face Lin Ya ahead of time this time, so you won’t get a good ranking and won’t be able to make it into the top ten. It’s a pity.” Ling Fang was still somewhat unwilling.

Azhen said, "Luck is also a kind of strength. If it doesn't work this time, we'll try next time."

“Only if His Highness makes it into the top ten can he enter the sect’s secret realm,” Ling Fang sighed. “Wouldn’t that make it even more difficult for His Highness to catch up with Lin Ya? Didn’t His Highness say he wanted to defeat Lin Ya? I’m worried.”

"There's no need to rush. Being too fixated on it is not good. Let's wait for the right opportunity," Azhen comforted her. "The fact that we couldn't enter the sect's secret realm this time means that we don't have that opportunity for now. Why don't we wait until our injuries heal and then go outside to take a look? Maybe we'll find another opportunity?"

“Your Highness, you seem more insightful than before, which is a good thing.” Ling Fang finally smiled happily, and then said, “Your Highness, please heal your injuries. I will go outside to guard you. Don’t talk anymore.”

"Okay," Azhen agreed, and then focused on healing her injuries.

This injury was nothing to her; she was just wondering about Lin Ya's cultivation level.

In the client's memory, Lin Ya did not need to cultivate much for her cultivation level to increase. Although the increase was very slow, once a certain opportunity was reached, she would suddenly increase by several minor realms or even a major realm, which was quite astonishing.

The sect's experts attributed this situation to Lin Ya's unique cultivation method, and never restricted her in any way.

Such talent does indeed exist.

While recovering from her injuries, Azhen carefully recalled the client's memories, hoping to find some clues about Lin Ya.

Her intuition told her that Lin Ya's cultivation level increase was not so simple. (End of Chapter)
