Mortal Cultivation: Starting from Hiding in the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion

A glint of light flashed in Su Xiaoyuan's eyes!

Another treasure trove of martial arts techniques has been discovered!

Chen Lingxi has really delivered a great gift this time.

The next morning, sunlight shone on the training ground, and the assessment continued.

Only forty-six people remain in today's competition.

Among them, there are eight people in the early stage of Qi Refining, twenty-one people in the middle stage of Qi Refining, ten people in the late stage of Qi Refining, and seven people in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Those who have made it this far are basically the favorites to win the championship as predicted before the competition.

In everyone's eyes, Su Xiaoyuan was the biggest dark horse.

The stands at the martial arts arena were packed with people, even more than in the previous days, with many non-participants also coming to watch the excitement.

It was the turn of the mid-stage Qi Refining faction, and the names of the opponents slowly appeared in the air.

Su Xiaoyuan will face off against Bu Nianke.

Su Xiaoyuan was stunned.

She could face anyone, so why Bu Nianke of all people?

An eleven-year-old girl!

She's a surprisingly talented eleven-year-old girl!

She's the sect leader's daughter... her buffs are fully stacked.

Go all out? Who would be willing to go all out for an eleven-year-old girl?

Go easy on them? You're kidding! Their strength is undeniable!

An eleven-year-old girl personally trained by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and a girl with extremely high talent.

If you're not careful, you'll be the one who loses.

Su Xiaoyuan felt a chill run down her spine.

Guo Zhanyuan came over and patted his shoulder with a sympathetic look: "Brother, take care."

Lu Ji sighed beside him, "If it really doesn't work out, just admit defeat. We won't laugh at you."

Nonsense! If we lose, these guys will definitely laugh at us!

Su Xiaoyuan glared at them irritably, took a deep breath, and stepped into the range of the magic array.

Across from them, a petite figure was already standing there.

Bu Nianke's appearance on stage was met with cheers.

As a favored daughter of heaven, possessing considerable strength and an exceptionally cute appearance, Bu Nianke naturally wins the favor of others.

She was dressed in a light blue, close-fitting outfit, with a long sword hanging at her waist that seemed disproportionate to her size.

The scabbard was entirely blue-green, with a faint shimmering light; it was clearly no ordinary item.

She wore her hair in two buns, had a round face, and still had a touch of childishness in her eyes, but her eyes were unusually bright, revealing a composure and sharpness beyond her years.

When she saw Su Xiaoyuan walk onto the stage, she first gave a proper bow and said in a clear voice, "Bu Nianke from Guiyuan Peak, please give me your guidance, Junior Brother."

Su Xiaoyuan quickly returned the greeting: "Su Xiaoyuan from the Miscellaneous Service Office, please guide me, Senior Sister."

He called her "senior sister" reluctantly.

There's no way around it; that's just how things are within the Nine Mysteries Sect. Among peers, strength determines who is superior.

At the steward's command, the duel officially began.

Bu Nian didn't waste any words. He gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist with his right hand and gently pulled it out.

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the arena.

The moment the longsword named Qingni was drawn from its sheath, it seemed as if a stream of blue light flowed across the blade, reflecting the morning light and refracting a shimmering brilliance.

Bu Nianke's posture in holding the sword was extremely natural, as if the sword was originally a part of her body, perfectly natural.

Su Xiaoyuan's expression was solemn.

He spent the last few days catching up on information about the remaining fellow disciples.

He knew that the sword was called the Azure Rainbow Sword.

Bu Nianke has been accompanied by this Qingni sword since childhood. The sword and the person are already connected by blood and can be used as an extension of each other.

Bu Nianke swayed and floated towards Su Xiaoyuan using the Nine Profound Lightness Steps.

Her sword, carrying a chilling aura, pierced straight at Su Xiaoyuan's face!

Su Xiaoyuan dared not be negligent and quickly activated the Qingfeng Technique, slipping and dodging to the side.

But Bu Nianke's swordplay did not stop there. With a flick of her wrist, the Qingni sword drew a graceful arc in the air, like a nimble snake, chasing after Su Xiaoyuan's throat!

Su Xiaoyuan used her black staff to block the sword.

"Ding!"

The sword and staff clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang.

Su Xiaoyuan felt a cold spiritual energy travel along the black stick, which made his skin sting.

He was startled and quickly took a few steps back to create some distance.

Bu Nianke closed in, the Qingni Sword in her hands was like a living thing, sometimes like a cold wind sweeping away snow, sometimes like an ice spike breaking ice, one move after another, without end.

Her swordsmanship carried a chilling aura; with each thrust, the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees.

Nine Profound Frost Sword Technique!

The swordsmanship personally taught by Sect Leader Bu Tianyi is indeed well-deserved of its reputation.

Su Xiaoyuan was put on the defensive from the very beginning.

He could only rely on the agility of the Qingfeng Technique and the exquisite skill of the Nine-Turn Dragon Staff to struggle and look for an opportunity to counterattack.

But Bu Nianke's swordsmanship was too tight, giving him almost no room to breathe. Several times, the blade of the Qingni sword almost grazed his skin.

From the stands, Guo Zhanyuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "How can we possibly win like this?"

Wang Pan frowned and said, "Although Xiao Yuan's staff technique is exquisite, Bu Nianke's sword technique is not bad either. Moreover, her Qingni sword is obviously much more agile than Xiao Yuan's black staff. An inch longer is an inch stronger, but an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. Bu Nianke's sword technique takes the path of seeking victory in danger. Xiao Yuan is being suppressed by her, and sooner or later something bad will happen to her."

Meng Hao also shook his head: "The hopes of the entire village are about to be dashed by the sect leader's daughter."

Su Xiaoyuan's situation on the field is indeed not optimistic.

He discovered that Bu Nianke's sword was unpredictable, always attacking from unbelievable angles.

He's been so focused on defense that he hasn't managed a single decent attack so far.

We must find a way to break her rhythm!

While dodging Bu Nianke's sword moves, Su Xiaoyuan secretly activated her divine sense, trying to capture her sword path.

Just then, Bu Nianke thrust her sword at him again, the tip pointing directly at his chest.

A glint flashed in Su Xiaoyuan's eyes, and instead of retreating, she advanced!

He turned his body slightly to the side, holding the black staff upright in front of his chest. The Azure Rainbow Sword grazed the staff, sparking a string of sparks!

Then Su Xiaoyuan stepped forward, her elbow forming a blade, and smashed towards Bu Nianke's face!

It wasn't that he didn't want to attack other places, but Bu Nianke's height meant he could only attack her head...

Bu Nianke was clearly taken aback by Su Xiaoyuan's move. She paused for a moment, then instinctively sheathed her sword and retreated.

Su Xiaoyuan seized the opportunity, flicked the black stick, and unleashed the "Pick" technique of the Nine-Turn Swimming Dragon Stick, striking Bu Nianke's wrist directly!

Bu Nianke couldn't stop in time and suddenly released her right hand!

The Azure Rainbow Sword trembled slightly without anyone controlling it, and its tip turned around, stabbing towards Su Xiaoyuan's arm along the shaft of the staff!

Su Xiaoyuan broke out in a cold sweat! Unable to continue using the "Pick" technique, she withdrew and retreated.

Then he struck the blade of the Azure Rainbow Sword with a stick.

The Azure Rainbow Sword spun once in the air and floated back into Bu Nianke's hand.

A cheer erupted from the stands!

That's flying on a sword!

Bu Nianke can unleash a sword attack with a cultivation level of six in Qi Refining. This talent is truly terrifying!
