Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 227 Shen Youqing was also a talisman master.
Looking at Shen Qiuluo's confident and determined expression, Xia Zhirou's thoughts began to waver.

Soul bones, such rare and precious treasures, have been extinct for countless years.

Shen Youqing doesn't have any extraordinary luck, so it's not necessarily true that she obtained a soul bone.

But the series of sudden realizations I had last night...

Could it be that Shen Youqing really obtained the soul bone?
"Senior Sister Xia, we're in the same boat." Shen Qiuluo's gentle voice pulled Xia Zhirou back from her thoughts.

Seeing Xia Zhirou's gaze, she said, "Whether Shen Youqing obtains the soul bone or not is entirely up to Senior Sister Xia."

Seeing Shen Qiuluo trying to use her as a pawn again, a ruthless glint flashed in Xia Zhirou's eyes, but her face remained gentle. "According to the rumors, soul bones are something that countless cultivators would flock to. I came to ask because I was worried about Junior Sister Qiuluo. Since Junior Sister doesn't have a soul bone, then I'm relieved."

Looking at Xia Zhirou, who was so eloquent, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Shen Qiuluo's eyes.

They should just admit they covet the soul bones; this pretentious act is truly disgusting.

"I've already given the answer to Senior Sister Xia." Shen Qiuluo didn't say anything more. "I'm going to the herb field now."

Xia Zhirou nodded and watched Shen Qiuluo leave.

……

After finishing his fight with Shen Quelin, Shen Youqing was about to leave the arena when he saw the sword cultivators eyeing him menacingly from all sides.

Looking at those expectant eyes brimming with fighting spirit, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

It gives me the illusion that I'm going to live in the ring!

"Junior Sister Youqing!" Ming Jixue grabbed Ji Fuchuan with her left hand and pressed down on Hua Ci with her right, leaping onto the arena with the air of one man guarding a pass against ten thousand. "I wonder if Junior Sister Youqing would do me the honor of a friendly spar?"

Looking at Ming Jixue on the arena, Jiang Zhi felt completely bewildered.

How did Fourth Junior Brother manage to climb up there?!
She was bolder than Ming Jixue on the stage, yet somewhat timid, her face showing both anticipation and trepidation.

Shen Youqing raised his hand in a salute, "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother Ming."

Hearing this, Ming Jixue breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Junior Sister Youqing can rest and adjust her breathing for a while."

Shen Youqing shook her head. "No need."

Seeing that she was about to make a move, Ming Jixue didn't say anything more. He drew his long sword and launched the first attack.

Watching the two fighting on the ring, Ji Fuchuan gritted his teeth and said, "They're not even human!"

"Fourth Senior Brother really..." Hua Ci said with a hint of resentment, "He's so ruthless in his pursuit of sparring that he doesn't even recognize his own family!"

Looking at his two junior brothers' expressions, which were both amused and annoyed, Jiang Zhi asked curiously, "Wasn't he chatting with you? When did he jump up there?"

"Just now... where is Senior Sister?" Hua Ci looked around and then saw Shen Xingzhi's figure on the next arena.

"When did Senior Sister go to spar with Young Master Shen?" Ji Fuchuan asked in surprise.

Jiang Zhi: ...

None of these four fellow disciples are any good!

The arena was bustling with activity, and Chi Guyuan and his companions stopped drawing talismans and decided to come and join in the fun.

When Xiao Ke finished his training and came over from the courtyard, he saw Shen Youqing sparring with Xie Changting on the arena.

Xie Changting suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of the Golden Core realm. At the same cultivation level, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Shen Youqing.

Xiao Ke stood a little distance away from the crowd and watched.

Shen Youqing suppressed his increasingly intense fighting spirit and lost to Xie Changting without leaving a trace.

Xie Changting stopped short of harming Shen Youqing.

However, he could sense that Shen Youqing suddenly softened as she hit him, and she stopped hitting him so hard.

"I hope to have a good fight with Miss Shen next time." Xie Changting sheathed his sword, bowed to Shen Youqing, and spoke in a gentle voice like a spring breeze.

Shen Youqing raised her hand in a salute, and after Xie Changting stepped down from the arena, her gaze drifted across the crowd to Xiao Ke behind the crowd.

The sharpness in Danfeng's eyes lessened considerably, and her gaze softened.

"May I ask my junior sister for some pointers?" Xiao Ke raised his hand in a salute, his demeanor refined and elegant, like a graceful young gentleman.

Shen Youqing responded.

Isn't Xiao Ke a fragile alchemist?
Why is he here to join in the fun?
Everyone was curious. Xiao Ke, who had walked onto the arena, bowed to Shen Youqing, then drew his longsword and launched the first attack.

"Ok??"

Gu Xingluan looked at Xiao Ke, who was holding a long sword, with shock in her eyes. "Isn't Fellow Daoist Xiao a pill refiner? When did he switch to sword cultivation?"

Aren't all the direct disciples of the Hehuan Sect more and more undisciplined than the last?

What's going on now?
“It seems he cultivates both alchemy and swordsmanship.” Lu Ye looked at Xiao Ke on the arena. “Fellow Daoist Xiao may have only been cultivating for a short time, and his mastery of swordsmanship is still quite rough.”

The battle on the arena was not as intense as expected; Shen Youqing was mostly feeding Xiao Ke his moves.

The same sword technique manifests differently in the hands of Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke.

"Compared to Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Xiao's swordsmanship is like child's play," Hua Ci couldn't help but comment sharply.

Jiang Zhi disagreed, saying, "Fifth Junior Brother, it's not appropriate for you to say that."

The word "play" is like saying that Fellow Daoist Xiao did not practice swordsmanship seriously, but you can tell from the way he swings his sword that he is not slacking off and is very serious about his training.

It's not that Xiao Ke wasn't good enough, it's just that Shen Youqing was too outrageous.

"It was my wording that was inaccurate." After being reminded by his second senior sister, Hua Ci also felt that his wording was not quite right. He considered it for a moment and said, "Immature, Fellow Daoist Xiao's swordsmanship is still rather immature."

Jiang Zhi nodded.

"Your swordsmanship is a bit immature, but your basic sword moves are very solid," Ji Fuchuan suggested. "Fifth Junior Brother, your sword moves need improvement. Why don't you spar with Fellow Daoist Xiao a few times?"

Hua Ci nodded.

The feeling of fighting in the ring is different from fighting in the yard.

When Xiao Ke faced Shen Youqing's sword aura for the first time, he felt that it was so sharp and powerful that it was awe-inspiring.

After the exchange, Xiao Ke had benefited greatly.

"How is it?" Shen Youqing asked. "Have you gained any insights or made any progress?"

If he doesn't improve after being fed so many moves, then his senior brother's innate sword bone is definitely fake!

"Have."

After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he prepared to leave so as not to disturb Shen Youqing's continued sparring. At the same time, he also needed to digest his thoughts for a while.

Seeing Xiao Ke come down from the arena, Hua Ci went up to him and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, may I ask for your guidance?"

Xiao Ke wanted to refuse, but he felt a gaze fixed on him.

He glanced at Shen Youqing, and seeing the look in her eyes, he turned his gaze back to Hua Ci and bowed, saying, "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Hua."

Hua Ci and Xiao Ke went to another arena to fight.

Shen Youqing was greeted by... Jiang Chenying.

"Joining in the fun?" Shen Youqing said quietly.

Jiang Chenying coldly asked, "Are you trying to discriminate?"

"..." Shen Youqing raised his hand to salute Jiang Chenying, and then directly slashed at him with his sword.

Jiang Chenying hadn't even had time to draw her sword yet, so she could only dodge first, and then draw her sword and charge forward.

"I haven't drawn my sword yet." Jiang Chenying's cold voice was almost torn apart by the sword energy.

Shen Youqing barely managed to hear it clearly, and then said, "It's alright, I won't kill you."

Jiang Chenying: ...

Seeing her 'I did it on purpose' look, Jiang Chenying suddenly became a bit more ruthless.

Shen Youqing was forced to the edge of the arena.

Just when everyone thought Shen Youqing would be forced off the stage, Jiang Chenying retreated first because he was trapped by the talisman array thrown at him!

At that moment, everyone realized what was happening.

Shen Youqing is a talisman master!
