Taking advantage of the situation, Duan Yunlin charged towards Sun Shan, unleashing a terrifying pressure that swept across the area. His physical body seemed to be forged in flames, brimming with explosive power.
The Xuan Yang Immortal Body controls the Profound Yang True Fire, and its physical body is incredibly terrifying. Although Sun Shan knew he was no match for it, as the last face of the Haoran Sect, he certainly couldn't back down.
Sun Shan drew his sword and charged towards Duan Yunlin.
"Bang!"
A terrifying explosion rang out, and Sun Shan was sent flying backward. His body was almost torn apart, and a Palm Seal was dented on his chest.
Blood spurted from his mouth, and Sun Shan's expression was extremely ugly.
We lost!
He was defeated in just the first move. Is the difference in skill really that great?
Sun Shan's eyes were filled with resentment.
At this moment, there was an ordinary-looking person in the Spectator Stand, dressed in the robes of Disciple of the Haoran Sect.
Upon seeing Sun Shan's defeat, he immediately added a sentence to the end of the book in his hand.
"Remember: the premise of all low-key behavior is to avoid enemies you cannot defeat, while simultaneously making them lower their guard."
After Li Yaoguan finished adding that sentence, he nodded in satisfaction. In his hand was the second edition of 'Thirty-Six Moves of Low Profile and Three Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Three Details'.
Compared to the first edition, this second edition is twice as thick, with richer content and more details.
Sun Shan's defeat plunged everyone in the Haoran Sect into despair.
The gap is too big.
While the Haoran Sect had won in the past, it had never been this easy.
But this time, their Haoran Sect was defeated without any suspense, completely crushed, and not even in the same league. This blow was too great, and the Haoran Sect Disciple, who were originally somewhat confident, suddenly became somewhat dejected.
The Haoran Sect was their pride, and now that their pride is shattered, it's a really hard feeling to bear.
However, Li Yaoguang remained remarkably calm in the face of the Haoran Sect's defeat, even feeling that it was to be expected.
In fact, he believed that the Haoran Sect should not be so high-profile. They should always be defeated, which would be in line with the Way of the Coward. Reputation is not equal to strength, and the Haoran Sect's poor reputation would not affect its strength.
However, a bad reputation will affect the quality of Disciple. While Disciple are the Future, the higher-ups within the sect are the real guarantee.
Li Yaoguang believed that finding Disciple depended on fate. Whether or not one could find a good Disciple was not a matter of reputation. For example, the Jinyang Sect was clearly weaker than the Haoran Sect, yet Duan Yunlin went to the Jinyang Sect.
Do you think Jinyang Sect and Duan Yunlin's Constitution are compatible?
It's definitely a perfect match.
However, the Haoran Sect also possesses Cultivation Method compatible with the Golden Sun Immortal Body.
Therefore, luck is very important.
According to his concept, luck is a high-risk factor in the Way of the Coward, and everything done should exclude luck, meaning it must be either possible or impossible.
It must be 100%, or infinitely close to 100%.
Being low-key, steady, and cautious can almost completely eliminate the element of luck.
Breaking through realms in the Immortal Stage Realm is risky; a slight mistake could Cultivation Level complete loss of one's cultivation. His strategy was to break through realms in ten stages, advancing a little bit each time.
Basically, there won't be any unexpected problems.
To this end, Li Yaoguang even wrote a book specifically about how to divide realm breakthroughs into ten stages.
In Li Yaoguang's philosophy, what's the point of fighting for Heavenly Mandate? Living long is the most important thing; only by living long can one possess unlimited possibilities.
It was by relying on this point that he smoothly broke through to the half-step Immortal King.
Not many people in the Haoran Sect know Li Yaoguang now, apart from the veteran Disciple, but when he first entered the sect, his talent was indeed extremely extraordinary.
Twenty-first on the Immortal Body Ranking, Revolving Immortal Body!
Li Yaoguang looked at Su Chen, scrutinized him carefully, and then shook his head, commenting, "All show and no substance. Although he's certainly good at hiding his true abilities and Cowardly Way of the fittest' strategy, it's a pity his strength is lacking. Without real power, hiding is no fun."
He actually had a solution to this situation.
It's very simple.
Sleazy.
Just stay out of it, and then reappear in the next term, or the one after that, or simply don't participate at all. Wouldn't that be better?
Li Yaoguang's definition of Gou is not really vulgar, vulgarity only occurs when there is really no other way. Most of the time, he is mainly low-key, that is, inconspicuous, a passerby, ordinary and other similar states.
In another part of the Spectator Stand.
The Jinyang Sect Master wore a smile, his face calm and composed, showing no surprise whatsoever at Duan Yunlin's victory over him.
He turned to look at Yun Mo, only to see that the latter was about to erupt like a volcano. The Jinyang Sect Master stopped his sarcasm. There's a limit to how much you can go on these things. If he were to mock Yun Mo might just start hitting him.
Although he was the one who ultimately lost face, it might mean that the Three Sect Grand Competition would never happen again.
In order to ensure a steady stream of attacks and allow him to mock Yun Mo at every subsequent Three Sects Assembly, he kept his mouth shut, but his expression was one of a half-smile as he looked at Yun Mo.
In the next Three Sect Grand Competition, Haoran Sect only had one person left, while the other sects had seven people left. Moreover, in everyone's eyes, Su Chen only made it to this round because of his good luck; otherwise, all eight of them would have been from the two major sects.
The host adjusted his mindset and continued leading the contestants in the draw.
"Pang He of the Yan Yue Yan Yue Sect versus Li Xiu of the Jinyang Sect."
Among the Disciple the Jinyang Sect, a young man's face immediately fell. If he had to pick the person he least wanted to encounter, it would definitely be Pang He. Although he knew he couldn't possibly get last place, he didn't want to fall so soon.
Duan Yunlin patted his shoulder. "It's alright, I'll help my junior brother defeat him."
Li Xiu could only nod helplessly upon hearing this. Since he had already encountered Pang He, all he could do was test him as much as possible in order to gain the upper hand for Duan Yunlin.
"Su Chen of the Haoran Sect will face off against Zhou Xiaoqin of the Yan Yue Sect."
Upon hearing this sound, many people frowned.
Zhou Xiaoqing's strength among the eight is perhaps only slightly stronger than Su Chen's. The reason he was able to stay is because the opponents he encountered before were not strong. How did these two mediocre people end up together again?
Will Su Chen make it to the semifinals?
Many people frowned, not wanting Su Chen to make it into the top four. He could have given the Haoran Sect a resounding slap in the face, but this way, the effect of striking the Haoran Sect wouldn't be as good.
The players were quickly selected after four rounds of matches.
Pang He and Li Xiu were the first to start. There was a big difference in strength between the two. Li Xiu was only at the Heavenly Immortal Late Stage, but Pang He was at the perfect stage of the Heavenly Immortal Perfection realm. More importantly, he also had an extremely terrifying Immortal Body.
In just three moves, Li Xiu was defeated, failing to force Pang He to reveal any of his hidden tricks.
What followed was a clash between Su Chen and Zhou Xiaoqing, who were both quite nervous. Zhou Xiaoqing, being a woman, was also a little nervous when facing Su Chen.
The two exchanged hundreds of blows, unleashing magical energy and employing a variety of techniques in a dazzling display, but unfortunately, it had no effect.
However, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Su Chen was at a disadvantage and was about to lose.
