Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'm sorry I couldn't help you," Jiang Shi said with great remorse.

"It's alright, Junior Brother Jiang. I've already won one round anyway. Even if I lose now, it won't matter."

Lu Wenyi spoke up to comfort Jiang Shi.

"Besides, I'm not necessarily going to lose now."

Lu Wenyi was still somewhat confident today, having won yesterday.

In his heart, although it was Jiang Shi who came up with the idea yesterday, it was he who stepped onto the stage and won the match.

Who knows, he might be a genius at magical combat?

If Jiang Shi knew what Lu Wenyi was thinking, he would definitely say:

"It's obvious you're not that genius."

Lu Wenyi stepped onto the arena, intending to repeat his old tricks, but his opponent was prepared.

His opponent had only calculated his escape route in advance and used the most basic "Entanglement Technique" to take down Lu Wenyi.

Because Lu Wenyi was defeated so quickly, Jiang Shi didn't learn any magic techniques.

Jiang Shi shook his head helplessly and quickly left.

He needs to hurry up and learn the spells of other arenas.

The main purpose is to find the senior brothers who didn't participate in yesterday's competition.

Furthermore, if he continued to watch Lu Wenyi being hung up and beaten on the arena, Lu Wenyi might become angry and blame him when he finally noticed him.

She might get angry and blame him.

It's better to just walk away and pretend you don't know anything.

Today is different from yesterday. Many people have already fought, and Jiang Shi has secretly learned their techniques.

A person can only learn a spell once.

He cannot gain proficiency unless he can cast a second different spell.

He watched for a long time but didn't learn any new techniques; he only gained some proficiency.

Just then, a series of chaotic noises came from the arena in front.

Jiang Shi looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Lin Yanyi standing on the arena, holding a sword in one hand and facing off against someone.

Jiang Shi walked over quickly.

Lin Yanyi is at the late stage of Qi Refining, and it's unknown what kind of techniques can be obtained from her.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you've arrived." Zhou Yuan, Senior Brother Hu, and the others had already arrived.

"Huh? Isn't that the guard from the outer gate?"

Jiang Shi recognized the familiar face immediately.

That day, he and Li Ze were at the main gate of the outer gate when they were almost beaten to death by this person.

"That's right, he's Senior Brother Liang from the Dharma Protector Hall." Zhou Yuan nodded, speaking through gritted teeth.

"This person is violent and often finds excuses to suppress the handymen disciples. Once, if it weren't for Senior Sister Lin saving me, I would have been beaten to death on the spot."

"What are this person's skills like? Can Senior Sister Lin win with certainty?" Jiang Shi asked.

"Don't worry, this guy has been taught a lesson by Senior Sister Lin many times, without exception, he was always hung up and beaten."

Senior Brother Hu laughed heartily, his voice full of joy.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a single sentence on the stage caused the faces of all the servant disciples to change instantly.

"Junior Sister Lin, I know you are extremely strong in combat, but last month I broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, while you are still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. How do you expect to defeat me today?"

On the stage, Brother Liang unleashed his magical power, and a surge of powerful magic erupted forth.

The junior disciples on the stage, who were in the middle stage of Qi Refining, were startled by this magical power and took several steps back.

"Damn it! He's already broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!" Zhou Yuan shouted angrily.

"These scions of aristocratic families are all products of abundant resources. If Senior Sister Lin had such a background, she would have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It's not certain who will win or lose yet. Senior Sister Lin has mastered three techniques, and they've all reached a high level. With her Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivation, it's not impossible for her to defeat a Qi Refining Stage 8 cultivator."

Although Senior Brother Hu cares a lot about Lin Yanyi, he also has great confidence in her.

On the observation deck.

Master Lu of the Dharma Protectorate said with a smile, "Master Liang, who do you think will win today?"

"What an incredibly boring question! Can't you really tell that Lin Yanyi is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining?" Hall Master Liang said with a stern face.

Although Lin Yanyi possesses the aptitude of three spiritual roots, her overall talent is mediocre.

However, he has a very high level of comprehension and can learn ordinary techniques very quickly.

No one in his generation of the Liang family could compare to Lin Yanyi.

However, precisely because of this, the better Lin Yanyi performs, the less likely she is to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The three major families of Qingyun Sect are already saturated and cannot accommodate another Lin family to share the resources.

Lin Yanyi was unaware of this.

She only thought that with her own efforts, she would definitely be able to establish a foundation!

"Regardless, with an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator against a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, the odds are in my favor!"

After Brother Liang finished speaking, he gathered his magical power and swung his arm.

A gigantic fiery hand hurtled towards Lin Yanyi.

This move, a raging inferno, seemed poised to burn everything in its path.

"What a powerful Fiery Palm technique!"

"It's more than five times stronger than what I could unleash! Is this the power of the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, a qualitative leap in magic?"

The outer disciples below the stage were buzzing with discussion.

Zhou Yuan exclaimed in surprise, very worried.

Although Senior Brother Hu remained expressionless, his clenched fists betrayed his deep concern.

Lin Yanyi neither dodged nor avoided the raging fire palm strikes, which engulfed him in flames.

"Senior Sister Lin!" Zhou Yuan was about to jump onto the arena to save Lin Yanyi, who was engulfed in flames.

But Senior Brother Hu held him back tightly.

"Trust Senior Sister Lin! She will definitely find a way."

On stage, Senior Brother Liang looked delighted.

"You're too careless! If you fall for even one of my moves, you're doomed!"

Senior Brother Liang pressed his advantage, unleashing three more fiery palm strikes at Lin Yanyi, who was trapped in the flames.

"Is this all you've done?" Lin Yanyi, seemingly unaffected by the flames, asked calmly, her words revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Liang's expression instantly changed in shock.

"How is this possible?! The flames can't even burn her body!" an outer disciple exclaimed in shock.

The group discovered that the raging fire couldn't even burn a single strand of Lin Yanyi's hair.

Lin Yanyi moved amidst the raging flames.

Her white Taoist robe swayed gently with her movements.

The flames began to spin under Lin Yanyi's control, as if they had come to life.

It's like dancing.

Senior Brother Liang's Fiery Palm had no effect on Lin Yanyi; it couldn't harm her in the slightest, and Lin Yanyi even controlled it.

Every attack from Senior Brother Liang enhanced Lin Yanyi's strength.

"What have you done?!" Senior Brother Liang shouted hoarsely. Even though he had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, he was filled with despair at everything in front of him.

This is an opponent he can never defeat.

"Senior Brother Hu, what kind of magic did Senior Sister use?" Zhou Yuan had never seen such a powerful magic before, so he asked Senior Brother Hu.

Senior Brother Hu shook his head, then patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder.

"This must be Senior Sister Lin's unique technique. She might even have created it herself. Don't ask around."
