I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"This senior brother's Azure Wave technique is truly masterful; I concede defeat..."

Su Changming feigned exhaustion and called out.

"I won?"

The disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect opposite looked somewhat puzzled.

This guy can even beat Senior Brother Song Zong, is he really an opponent he can defeat?

Seeing that Su Changming's fatigue did not seem to be "fake," he also had some understanding in his heart.

It seems that although this junior brother has mastered magic, he lacks sufficient magical power. Although his reactions are very sharp and he has accurately defended against my Azure Waves every time, he has also exhausted most of his spiritual energy. His defeat is inevitable, and it seems that he wants to save face at this moment.

"You flatter me, Junior Brother's Spirit Shield Technique has truly broadened my horizons."

Thinking of this, the senior brother also showed a hearty smile, cupped his hands and said.

"Thank you for your concession..."

Su Changming also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and walked away with a somewhat desolate air.

Seeing this, many disciples' initial awe of Su Changming diminished considerably.

The result is clear: this once-promising dark horse was just a paper tiger. Although he had mastered low-level spells well, he could be easily defeated once his spiritual energy was exhausted.

In this way... all you need to do is dodge his fully-developed wind blades...

Wait, did he just unleash another fully-developed spell, Wind Blade?

Perhaps it was because the other senior brother's attack was too fierce, and he could only defend with the Spirit Shield spell...

Wait a minute, is the other senior brother's attack really that fierce? And isn't Senior Brother Su also cultivating body tempering?

For a moment, these disciples were filled with doubt.

As for Su Changming himself, he had already gone to rest in an inconspicuous spot offstage.

Since I've already become Master He's disciple, why bother fighting to the death with them?

Having already demonstrated many skills, his current goal is to conceal his true abilities as much as possible.

Yesterday, I didn't use many techniques, and my strength was only revealed to be around the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining.

There is plenty of seawater to release today.

When encountering weaker opponents, Su Changming would simply defeat them in accordance with his character. However, when facing senior brothers who appeared to be quite powerful, Su Changming would deliberately hold back, mainly using his Spirit Shield Technique to defend himself, interspersed with some wind blades that would make the opponents feel that they were only slightly alarmed.

Finally, after several exchanges, he showed signs of exhaustion.

As a result, Su Changming's opponents all looked like they suddenly realized what had happened after winning.

It's not that they're too strong, but rather that Su Changming isn't actually that strong.

Soon, Su Changming faced a new opponent.

"As the points system progresses and we're eliminated, the disciples I encounter are getting stronger and stronger..."

Su Changming saw the confident look on his opponent's face and felt somewhat helpless.

Points are points, and these competitions are decided by drawing lots, so it's impossible to arrange evenly matched battles.

Some might be lucky enough to keep encountering disciples weaker than themselves who would give them easy points.

This is understandable, after all, luck has already proven itself to be part of cultivating immortality.

Therefore, the Liuyun Sect is happy to conduct this kind of selection based on luck.

Anyway, there will be an extra competition at the end.

"Senior brother, you flatter me..."

In just a moment, Su Changming's wind blades forced his opponent into a deadly situation several times.

In the end, the opponent was judged to have lost, with an incredulous expression on their face.

Su Changming was also somewhat helpless. This senior brother was even stronger than the previous opponent, but he had no more points to give away...

They were just unlucky.

In this way, Su Changming obtained a spot as an inner disciple while maintaining a score that was neither too high nor too low.

"Next, the top twenty disciples in terms of points, please step forward!"

"It is Gao Sheng, an inner sect deacon!"

Seeing this, Su Changming nodded in satisfaction and took a few steps back.

His ranking is already beyond forty; it's not his turn.

"At the same time, the sect leader personally selected a few disciples who were unlucky. Please come forward! Su Changming, Haiyuntang, Zhao Wei..."

The inner sect disciples called out a few more names.

Everyone except Su Changming looked like they had been hit with a surprise, but Su Changming looked completely shocked.

"Even with all this disguise, the sect leader still saw through me?"

Seeing the sect leader in the distance give a mocking smile, Su Changming knew that his true cultivation level had been discovered.

He was able to deceive those Qi Refining disciples simply because they were not strong enough. But what could he possibly hide from Foundation Establishment elders or even the Yuan Dan Sect Master?

"I made a stupid mistake..."

Su Changming shook his head helplessly.

"You little brat, you're actually hiding your true strength. We can see right through you."

A familiar voice rang out.

Su Changming looked up and found He Chongguang staring at him expressionlessly.

The technique of transmitting sound can only be used by Foundation Establishment cultivators who possess divine sense.

"Perform well tomorrow. If you can become the top disciple in the inner sect, I will teach you a technique to conceal your breath."

He Chongguang transmitted his voice again.

Upon hearing this, Su Changming immediately perked up.

He took it too easy this time to conceal his true abilities, but with the Breath Concealment Technique, things would be very different.

Is it really possible for him to win first place in the inner sect competition?

Although he did indeed hold back some of his strength, how much of a chance did he have against opponents who were already stronger than him and who possessed spiritual weapons or even magical artifacts?

Unless... relying on this Sword Soaring Technique.

Su Changming looked at Luo Xinyun, and she looked back at him as well.

I can ask Luo Xinyun for advice later...

"Tomorrow, gather here. The winner will become a disciple of the elders, and the top inner disciple will become my nominal disciple!"

The sect leader rose slightly and looked at the disciples.

Upon hearing that the top student in the inner sect could become the sect leader's disciple, the crowd in front of the stage was extremely excited.

Although it was a nominal appointment, he was still a Yuan Dan cultivator, a nominal disciple of the dignified Liu Yun Sect Master.

At this moment, regardless of whether they had a favorite elder or not, everyone was aiming for first place in the competition.

Besides Su Changming...

He glanced at Luo Xinyun, noticing her expressionless face, and wondered what she was thinking.

He then looked at Emperor Song and saw that the other party returned a smile.

Su Changming knew that the other party would not back down.

Both Song Zong and Su Changming knew in their hearts which was more important: becoming a disciple of a family elder to enter the inner sect, or becoming a disciple of the sect leader.

"It seems this competition is destined to be a fierce battle..."

Su Changming had a sudden realization.

"Senior Brother Su, how about we get together?"

After the meeting was dismissed, Luo Xinyun asked Su Changming.

A familiar face was standing next to her.

"Junior Brother Su, you've kept this from me for a long time. You're actually Junior Sister Luo's senior brother."

Emperor Song said with a hint of helplessness.

"It was just a coincidence; my strength is far inferior to Junior Sister Luo's."

Su Changming shook his head, knowing his own limitations.

"Let's go, let's have a get-together at Xianhelou."

Emperor Song smiled.

"There is nothing wrong with that."

Su Changming nodded.

It had been more than half a month since he last ate spirit fish at the Crane Tower. Compared to the earth dragon meat and the spirit sparrow meat, the golden carp meat that he had identified and upgraded was extremely sweet. If he weren't so poor that he couldn't afford it, he would have wanted to have one every meal.
