I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

"She's even starting to provoke us?" Shen Ziwei touched her nose.

After two moves, there was only one move left. The first two moves were stronger than the last, which reflected the terrible mood of the Sword Inquiry Sect Master.

"You haven't been beaten up, have you?" Qin Huai's voice was calm, tinged with a hint of interest. "I've heard that the Changming Sect's training methods are very humane."

Unlike other sects that would throw out a sword technique and practice it themselves at the drop of a hat, they are more adept at cultivating their disciples' close combat and resilience, and they teach one-on-one.

Duan Yu was measured in his actions, while Qin Fanfan took a gradual approach, never immediately making her realize the difference between them, lest she damage her disciple's confidence.

The Sword Inquiry Sect does the opposite. Even a genius like Ye Qinghan is not spared when discipline is necessary; they believe in the principle of "spare the rod and spoil the child." What if a disciple rebels? A beating will do the trick.

Ye Qiao's provocation only fueled the anger of the Sword Inquiry Sect's leader.

"Aren't your sect's disciples going to do anything about it?" He suppressed the coldness in his voice.

"It's nothing." Qin Fanfan waved her hand, her voice quite calm. "Isn't there still one move left? Just do it. Smash her and let her know what's what. If you can't smash her, then let Ye Qiao lead the team."

Su Zhuo clicked his tongue. "They seem quite confident and fearless?"

Song Hansheng: "It's obvious."

The arrogant remarks of the Changming Sect members drew a cold laugh from the sect leader of the Wenjian Sect.

He flicked his sleeve, and a standard large palm print condensed. He didn't hold back any force in the first two moves, and in the third move, he decisively poured in more spiritual energy. After all, it was just a test, not to kill them, so he held back when he made his moves.

The third palm strike condensed into a large palm print. He suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeve, and struck the palm print in front of her. The strike of the Tribulation Transcending stage spread out, and the strong white light and powerful aura were extremely oppressive.

The light in the entire hall was so bright it made people dizzy. Ye Qiao, who was in the center, was completely swallowed up by this powerful attack and didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.

He thought that Ye Qiao was able to withstand two moves because she had some kind of external spiritual artifact that she could use. He simply used his power to control Ye Qiao so that she could not make any small movements.

"That damned old Bi Deng." Duan Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but curse under his breath, and actually put aside his pride to bully Ye Qiao.

"How is it? How is it?" Mingxuan asked frantically. They couldn't understand this kind of contest, and those who were slow to react couldn't even catch the moves. They could only keep asking their senior brother.

No matter how wide they opened their eyes, they couldn't see clearly what was inside.

"In this situation, I can't see clearly either." After all, the two were exchanging blows, and their techniques were superior to his. Zhou Xingyun observed intently for a few seconds, then spoke with exceptional caution, "But judging from the situation, Junior Sister is either dead or alive."

"..." Where did you learn this nonsense?

They weren't too worried.

This month, I've gotten used to seeing Ye Qiao being slapped around so many times. In the past few days, when Qin Fanfan was training to beat Ye Qiao, she didn't seem to hold back at all, even after several slaps.

The back mountain was full of potholes and palm prints from his palm strikes. If she couldn't withstand even one of his moves, her master would smash her down with a palm strike. However, even when she was knocked into the ground, she was still lively and energetic.

Thus, they reached a consensus that Ye Qiao was very resilient.

The moment they collided, the spiritual energy within her body automatically gathered, and Ye Qiao was forced back. During this time, she was unable to lift her hand at all. For someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage, suppressing a person was a simple matter. The strong airflow seemed to be blowing her to the ground.

Then, a palm strike landed on Ye Qiao after hitting the barrier, but Ye Qiao did not retreat at all. The fierce attack seemed to turn into nothingness, and after hitting her, it turned into air currents and was suddenly dispersed.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the near-Tribulation Transcending stage caused the disciples sitting close to Ye Qiao to involuntarily shrink their necks slightly.

Being close by is terrifying.

It goes without saying how powerful it is right in the center.

She wasn't knocked away?

Ye Qiao suppressed the grimaces that were almost caused by the beating. To be honest, this sect leader was really ruthless.

The oppressive aura of the Tribulation Transcending stage finally lifted from her shoulders, and Ye Qiao could finally move. Looking at the Sword Inquiry Sect Master, whose anger had subsided and who now gazed at her thoughtfully, Ye Qiao calmly asked, "Now I'm qualified to lead a team, aren't I?"

"..."

Everyone present remained silent, not daring to respond to the question.

Ye Qiao's blatant provocation was a slap in the face to anyone who responded.

"Yes." After a long pause, the Sword Sect Master finally withdrew his hand with a complex expression, standing with his hands behind his back as he sized her up. "However, your cultivation level..."

Is he in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm? Or at its peak? He swallowed those words.

Everyone says this year's class is the most talented ever, a view he used to scoff at, but now he agrees with it.

Other generations at this age are still hovering around the Golden Core stage, while this year's direct disciples may even reach the Nascent Soul stage or higher.

Ye Qiao is definitely not just at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The sect leaders were well aware of the situation.

The matter was resolved happily for all. Since she could withstand three moves from the sect leader, it meant her abilities were unparalleled. Entrusting her to Ye Qiao was at least reassuring, and Ye Qinghan could now lead the team in the secret realm without any problems.

What still puzzles them is how Ye Qiao managed to withstand three blows from a Nascent Soul cultivator without relying on any external force.

Not only did he receive all three blows steadily, but he was also completely calm and composed.

"I'd like to ask, what exactly is Ye Qiao's cultivation level?" The Chengfeng Sect Master smiled deeply. It was truly unbelievable; among the five sects, the Wenjian Sect Master was undoubtedly the strongest.

However, the three moves were passed down by a mere teenager.

Her early Nascent Soul stage is questionable no matter how you look at it.

The sect leader of the Azure Water Sect, intrigued, rubbed his hands together and couldn't help but ask Yun Hen, "Yun Hen, do you believe she's only in the early Nascent Soul stage?"

The fact that a disciple of the Changming Sect could withstand three moves from the sect leader made them feel uncomfortable about being outdone by other sects, so they could only seek solace from someone who was even more upset.

"Do I look like a moron?" Yunhen gave me a cold look, his face showing indifference.

The sect leader of the Azure Water Sect said sincerely, "It really does look somewhat similar."

Yunhen: "..."

However, they were all very curious about how Ye Qiao, this brat, managed to withstand three moves from the Sword Inquiry Sect Master in one go.

Others may not know the sect leader's level in the Sword Inquiry Sect, but they know it perfectly well.

She could withstand three moves from a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator without flinching.

Yunhen closed his eyes for a moment, calmly asking, "Has Ye Qiao reached the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Ye Qiao had somehow managed to completely conceal her presence; without careful observation, it would be difficult to detect her existence.

The sect leader of the Sword Inquiry Sect stared at her palm thoughtfully for a few seconds. In fact, he was also somewhat shocked when she withstood the third move. After thinking for a moment, he speculated: "I can sense that three palms may not be the limit for Ye Qiao."

The Sword Inquiry Sect Master's raging anger subsided with the end of the three blows. A disciple who could withstand three of his moves was truly an unexpected delight.

She took it too easily.

This person clearly came prepared.

In the end, it was his carelessness that caused the problem.

Ye Qiao rubbed her injured abdomen and returned to her seat. She was poked and turned her head to meet Ye Qinghan's gaze. She was stunned for a moment.

Their eyes met, and Ye Qinghan subconsciously lowered his gaze, avoiding her eyes for a moment, and said somewhat shyly, "Thank you."

With Ye Qiao having withstood three moves, the matter was already settled, and she would lead the team in the next training exercise.

The other disciples dared not express their dissatisfaction, and none of them dared to look at Ye Qiao for fear of being beaten up.

After all, this is a ruthless person who can withstand three moves from the sect leader.

Qin Huai was dissatisfied with failing to lead the team again. His gaze wandered and he caught a glimpse of the undercurrent between the two. He curled his lips into a slightly sarcastic comment: "Ye Qinghan, you look as awkward as a virgin."

Chu Xingzhi immediately shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"

"My senior brother is clearly a pure virgin!"
