The Gap Between Spirit Generals

In the central region of the Yuan Sect, there is a continuous mountain range.

Within this mountain range, several towering peaks rise into the clouds, shrouded in mist, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

At this moment, an astonishing clamor arose atop these normally tranquil giant peaks. These sounds converged and spread far and wide, clearly audible even a hundred miles away.

The annual Division Trial is the grandest competition held by the Yuan Sect each year, and the entire Yuan Sect, from its leaders to its disciples, attaches great importance to it.

When Lin Langtian arrived at this area, he raised his eyebrows as he looked at the magnificent scene, and then landed directly on the giant peak in the very center.

Because the number of disciples Division Trial was so large, the nearby peaks had a lot of competition venues. However, the one that truly attracted attention was the mountain that Lin Langtian landed on.

Therefore, the competitions among the outstanding disciples of the Eight Divisions will be held here, making this place far more popular than the other giant peaks.

Meanwhile, the giant peak was already filled with people. Lin Langtian glanced around and saw the area where the Fire Division disciples were located. He then headed down there.

"The Senior Brother is here!"

As Lin Langtian landed, some excited voices immediately arose among the disciples of the Fire Division, and then all the fiery and respectful gazes were cast upon Lin Langtian.

In the Fire Division today, Lin Langtian's reputation has completely surpassed that of the veteran Personal Disciple Grand Disciple.

Apart from Ling Chi and a few others like Zhang Hao, who had deep-seated conflicts with him, most of the Fire Division disciples willingly joined Lin Langtian's ranks.

However, even Ling Chi, Zhang Hao, and the others could only cautiously hide in a corner at this moment, not daring to provoke Lin Langtian in the slightest.

"Senior Brother..." Song Yun, Mo Tie, and other trusted confidants looked at Lin Langtian who had landed beside them and hurriedly stepped forward, smiling respectfully.

"Hmm, looks like we're not too late." Lin Langtian looked around and then smiled at Song Yun and the others.

"Haha, Senior Brother, with you here this time, my Fire Division will definitely surpass the Heaven Division in ranking and become the number one of the Eight Divisions," Pang Lie laughed in a deep voice.

Lin Langtian smiled faintly at these words, then looked up and gazed in another direction.

Not far from their Fire Division was the area where the disciples of the other Seven Divisions were located. In front of the Eight Divisions area, Lin Langtian also saw the three figures standing at the very front, who were also the most eye-catching figures in this area: the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings.

At this moment, all of Lei Qian's injuries had disappeared, and his aura had returned to its peak. Clearly, as the sect leader's personal disciple, Lei Qian was not short of healing elixirs.

As for Yuan Cang, he remained the most eye-catching presence in the entire venue, like the sun, attracting the attention of everyone present and inspiring awe.

When Lin Langtian looked over, Yuan Cang obviously noticed it as well. Then, the man in blue turned his head slightly, glanced at Lin Langtian from afar, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled noncommittally. This Yuan Cang really thought that his strength at the Life Profound Stage was enough to completely overpower him. In time, he would let him know what it meant to be outmatched.

"Senior Brother, the sect has been buzzing about your duel with Senior Brother Yuan Cang lately, it's even alarmed the Sect Leader. Do you think... there might be some unforeseen circumstances?" Song Yun and the others, who had also seen the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings in the distance, leaned closer and said in a deep voice.

Regardless of whether Lin Langtian could win the fight against Yuan Cang, even if he did, Yuan Cang was, after all, the Sect Leader's personal disciple, and would inevitably receive favoritism.

Lin Langtian glanced at Song Yun, his brows furrowing slightly, but then he shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, as long as I defeat Yuan Cang in public, the command of the sect's participating disciples will automatically fall into my hands. I'm sure the Sect Leader won't blatantly show favoritism."

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian looked at the seats directly in front of the platforms, where the Yuan Sect's high-ranking officials were seated. At this moment, the heads of the Eight Divisions had already taken their seats, and in the very center was Ren Yuanzi whose face was as calm as a still pool, whom he had met once before.

The atmosphere at the seats was not as lively as expected. The Eight Division Heads looked at each other, and finally Shi Dong snorted coldly, "Fen Cang, I heard that Lin Langtian is preparing to challenge Yuan Cang and seize the disciple command right in this Sect Tournament."

This is an overreach! Command authority has always been reserved for the sect Sect Leader's three closest disciples, the Three Young Kings. How dare Lin Langtian, a Spirit General, do this!

Upon hearing this, Fen Cang dared not be ambiguous about the matter. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but whisper, "Sect Leader, I am unaware of the details..."

"It's alright. We'll follow the rules. If Lin Langtian really does get first place in the Division Trial, what's wrong with giving him command? Our Yuan Sect has always respected strength." Ren Yuanzi didn't even lift his eyelids, speaking indifferently.

After he finished speaking, Ren Yuanzi waved his hand again and said, "It's almost time. Let's announce the start of the palace examination."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven Division Head nodded, then stood up. His sharp gaze swept across the endless sea of people on the mountain peak, and under his gaze, the originally noisy mountaintop gradually quieted down.

"I imagine the Division Trial departmental competition, so I won't repeat them here. In addition, those who excel in the departmental competition can participate in this sect competition, and the first place winner of the departmental competition will even gain the right to command disciples in the Sect Tournament!"

The thunderous shout of the Heaven Division Head resounded throughout the land, echoing across the massive mountain peaks. As he finished speaking, his gaze subtly swept towards Lin Langtian and Yuan Cang in the distance.

The entire Yuan Sect now knows that this command will most likely fall into the hands of either Lin Langtian or Yuan Cang.

One of them is Lin Langtian, a rising supernova who joined the Yuan Sect a year ago and has risen rapidly, and the other is Yuan Cang, the leader of the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings and a top genius in the Eastern Xuan Region.

The question of who would ultimately win first place in this Division Trial undoubtedly captivated the attention of all the disciples and even the higher-ups present.

"Before coming here, everyone should have received their assigned sessions from their respective departments. Next, we will proceed with the Division Trial according to the sessions!"

As soon as the Heaven Division Head finished speaking, the mountaintop erupted in excitement once again. Many disciples flipped their hands, and a jade piece appeared. Then, countless figures burst forth, landing on the more than one hundred platforms on the mountaintop.

Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian clenched his fist, and a jade piece appeared, on which were written the words "Bing Qi".

Lin Langtian glanced at the platform and venue on the jade tablet, then darted out and landed on a spacious platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Just as Lin Langtian landed on the platform, a surprised uproar suddenly arose around him, which startled Lin Langtian.

Then, he saw a familiar figure drift over and land in front of him.

Looking at the familiar face opposite him, Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback, then a cold smile appeared on his lips. He never expected that his opponent in the first match would be his enemy.

Gold Division Spirit General, Xia Yan.

Back in the Flame Demon Space, Xia Yan was arrogant, believing that Lin Langtian, a newcomer, was not worthy of being ranked among the Spirit General with them. Unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and now the first match of this competition is between the two of them.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly as she looked at Lin Langtian stepping onto the stage.

If he had thought back then that Lin Langtian had only gotten the title of Spirit General by chance, then now that the former had decisively defeated Little Thunder King and firmly secured the title of Little Flame King, his strength had far surpassed that of them, the Spirit General.

Thinking back to the humiliation he had inflicted on Lin Langtian, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel remorse. His expression changed slightly, and he had no choice but to lower his head and chuckle at Lin Langtian.

"Hehe, so it's Junior Brother Langtian. I didn't expect this match to be between you and me. What a coincidence! I hope Junior Brother Lin will go easy on me in the future."

"It is indeed fate..." Lin Langtian smiled slightly, then a playful smile appeared on his lips. "However, what Senior Brother Xia said back then still lingers in my ears."

Therefore, I hope Senior Brother Xia can display his abilities and show the prowess of Gold Division Spirit General; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"Oh, it seems Junior Brother Lin really doesn't give his senior brother any face." Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's expression immediately darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

He hadn't expected Lin Langtian to be so vindictive. After all, Lin Langtian was a Spirit General. Even if he wanted to fight against the Three Young Kings, he should at least try to win over Spirit General like them. Instead, he pushed them all away.

If Lin Langtian knew his thoughts, he would definitely scoff at them.

Even if he didn't take the Three Young Kings seriously, he wouldn't care about these opportunistic fence-sitters even if he were to rally people to fight against Three Young Kings.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lin Langtian's eyes turned icy cold. The Flame Furnace in his body started to operate, and Black-Red Fire Armguards appeared on his arms. With a whoosh, he appeared in front of Xia Yan like lightning, leaving behind a series of afterimages, and threw a fierce punch without any fancy moves.

The punch shattered the air, and an astonishing force instantly enveloped Xia Yan.

As Lin Langtian's fist wind enveloped them, Xia Yan's eyes narrowed instantly. He had clearly sensed the former's powerful strength. He immediately clenched his fist, and brilliant golden light burst forth from his palm, transforming directly into a Golden Shield in front of him.

Lin Langtian unleashed a powerful punch without hesitation, landing it on the Golden Shield. A mocking smile then appeared on his lips.

Bang!

A terrifying force poured out almost instantly, and the seemingly powerful Golden Shield only lasted for less than two breaths before cracks appeared, and then it was shattered with a bang.

"Such brute strength!"

Golden fragments burst forth from the sky, and Xia Yan's expression was extremely solemn. He clearly hadn't expected his defense to be so vulnerable in Lin Langtian's hands.

However, while he was in shock, Lin Langtian did not remain idle. In an instant, a powerful whip kick tore through the air, drawing a fiery arc in mid-air, and with a bang, it slammed hard into Xia Yan's body, who was about to retreat.

Bang!

The sound of air exploding resounded from Xia Yan's body, and his body shot backward like a cannonball, finally crashing heavily onto the field.

Bang!

Huge cracks spread rapidly from Xia Yan's center, the force of which made the surrounding disciples' pupils shrink.

In the previous lightning-fast exchange, everyone could see that Gold Division Spirit General Xia Yan was completely at a disadvantage!

At this moment, they finally understood the difference between the Spirit General Spirit General.

Fire Division Spirit General, truly worthy of being called the Little Flame King!

Lin Langtian remained calm in response. He had always been invincible among his peers, and now that he had advanced to the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, perhaps only a Life Profound Stage expert could put pressure on him.

"How can this guy be so powerful?!" Xia Yan gasped for breath, his face filled with shock.

Although I knew Lin Langtian was powerful, I didn't expect him to be this powerful!

"Damn it, you forced me to do this!" Xia Yan's expression kept changing, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say in a gloomy tone.

If he, a dignified Gold Division Spirit General, is defeated so easily by Lin Langtian, then he may as well give up his place in the Gold Division.

"The Golden Mountain Divine Canon, the Golden Mountain Suppresses Heaven and Earth!"

Faced with Lin Langtian's astonishing offensive, Xia Yan's expression became extremely solemn. He dared not be careless and unleashed all his Yuan Power. A surge of golden light erupted, transforming into a golden mountain, which then crashed down fiercely towards Lin Langtian.

"It's the ultimate technique of the Gold Division, the Golden Mountain Divine Canon!"

Seeing Xia Yan unleash a powerful killing move, it immediately caused an uproar among the audience. The Yuan Gate Eight Divisions each have their own unique skills, among which the Golden Mountain Divine Canon of the Gold Division is quite famous even in the vast Eastern Xuan Region.

However, Lin Langtian's expression did not change in the face of such a deadly move. He simply clenched his fist, and a vast and domineering force of fiery energy swept out of his body without reservation.

Then Lin Langtian stomped his foot on the ground, unleashing a fierce and powerful punch that seemed to be the embodiment of power, carrying an incredibly terrifying force that blasted through the air and carried an astonishing pressure as it hurtled towards the golden mountain.

"Boom!"

Under Lin Langtian's terrifying punch, the once imposing golden mountain, which seemed to be crushing down like Mount Tai, began to shake violently as if it had been struck by an earthquake.

The next moment, seemingly unable to withstand Lin Langtian's terrifying power, the massive mountain began to develop cracks, and in no time, it began to crumble and collapse inch by inch. Then, in the shocked gazes of countless people below, it instantly turned into golden fragments.

Bang! Bang!

At the same time, terrifying power ripples spread out, and Xia Yan's body was sent flying hundreds of meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura quickly weakened.

Boom!

Xia Yan's body shot backward again, the golden light on his body quickly dimmed, and finally he shot into the mountain below, leaving a deep mark hundreds of feet long on the ground before he fell unconscious.

The first match ended with Lin Langtian's decisive victory.
