The Sword Saint's presence in the fierce battles brought the atmosphere to its peak.

The million Outer Sect Disciple were all filled with excitement. Given their status, it was extremely difficult for them to see the most powerful figure from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land on ordinary days, and they only had the occasional opportunity to listen to the Sage preach.

Many of the Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy also had solemn expressions, filled with fervor and excitement. If they could demonstrate their talents and gain the Sword Saint's favor, they might have a chance to receive his teachings.

However, the most dazzling figure at this moment was a saintess standing before the Sword Saint Saintess.

Bian Ruxue.

As the youngest of the Saintess, she has been the center of attention since arriving at the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land. At this moment, she stands obediently in front of the Sword Saint, her beautiful face revealing a touch of composure and liveliness, making countless people envious.

Being able to directly become a disciple of the Sword Saint, among all the Saint Child and Saint Daughter, their backgrounds are all top-tier!

At this moment, with the announcement of the rules and the selection of the Top Hundred, the three selected teams of players quickly took to the field for their first match.

Two of the groups were duels between the Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy, while the other group was a duel between the Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy and Saint Child.

This Saint Child was none other than the Wuhen Saint Child whom Li Hao knew.

Li Hao and Qiu Wuhen had become acquainted while Angling at Sword Cliff, but their relationship was merely a casual conversation and not very deep.

Li Hao knew that his opponent was extremely powerful, having comprehended Sword Intent through Angling.

At this moment, as the Saint Child stepped onto the stage, most eyes turned to Past.

After twenty days of continuous fighting, the Saint Child and Saint Daughter have yet to participate, making this the first time we'll be able to witness their Saint Child prowess.

The Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy who faced off against Qiu Wuhen was Luo Cheng, the winner of the previous Arena-Holder Defense Battle, and was extremely famous among the inner disciple.

At this moment, as the Arena Stage's Magic Array solidified, the battle instantly began.

Compared to Qiu Wuhen's indifference, Luo Cheng's eyes were filled with cold arrogance, but he was not careless. Instead, he directly mobilized the Heaven and Earth Power and at the same time, activated his previous unrevealed Extreme Realm!

"It's the Divine Power Extreme Realm, and that vortex... it's the Heaven and Earth Meridian!"

The million Outer Sect Disciple below the stage gasped in astonishment; the Extreme Realm was the aspiration of Outer Sect Disciple.

After accumulating physical strength and the power of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Meridian, Luo Cheng unleashed his power, his body disappearing as if by teleportation!

The Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm!

This scene caused the six Half-Saint watching from the sidelines to narrow their eyes slightly.

Mastering the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm provides more than enough protection, and for now, few below the Half-Saint have the means to perceive the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm!

This is where mutual calculation and prediction are tested.

Puff!

The instant Return to Emptiness Teleportation to appear, Luo Cheng arrived beside Qiu Wuhen, not behind him, and suddenly slashed out with his sword, tearing Qiu Wuhen's shoulder apart. This was only because Qiu Wuhen reacted extremely quickly and dodged; otherwise, half of his body would have been gone!

The fact that the Saint Child was injured in their first encounter shocked the millions of disciples below the stage.

After a brief pause, Luo Cheng vanished again Return to Emptiness Teleportation. When he reappeared, he was right in front of Qiu Wuhen, still unleashing an extremely fierce and ruthless sword strike.

The Sword Light aimed straight for Qiu Wuhen's head, but Qiu Wuhen reacted extremely quickly. At the moment the Sword Light struck, he slightly tilted his head, causing the Sword Light to only graz his cheek.

Luo Cheng's expression turned cold. He used the Three Times Return to Emptiness Teleportation to appear above Qiu Wuhen's head, each attack coming from an extremely tricky angle.

This sword strike seemed poised to shatter the earth, but surprisingly, Qiu Wuhen managed to dodge it by slightly shifting his body to the side.

Luo Cheng's eyes widened in surprise.

He suddenly retreated, creating distance between himself and the enemy.

Outside the arena, Li Hao saw the Thousand Threads Sword intent gathering in the Arena Stage and shook his head slightly, knowing that Luo Cheng was about to be defeated unless he had other means.

"Wu Hen, that child, has truly mastered the Sword Intent!"

"The Thousand Threads Sword: Luo Cheng was unaware that he had already been entangled by Sword Intent."

"He actually managed to barely catch the movement of Return to Emptiness Teleportation with that Sword Intent. It seems the other Saint Child will have to be careful when fighting him next!"

The Half-Saint, including Ancestor Yao, were also watching the battle from the sidelines, their eyes showing a mixture of solemnity and emotion.

To be able to barely capture the Extreme Realm with just Sword Intent is terrifying.

At this moment, the million Outer Sect Disciple outside the Arena Stage were raising their arms and shouting Luo Cheng's name.

They were able to suppress the Saint Child; they were too powerful.

Whoosh!

Luo Cheng's fourth Return to Emptiness Teleportation appeared, this time again aimed directly at Qiu Wuhen.

But as his figure appeared, Qiu Wuhen suddenly drew his sword. The rusty, unsheathed Tetanus sword at his waist was suddenly flung out, the rust on it vibrating, and with a bang, it pierced through Luo Cheng's body.

With a single sword strike, he sent the opponent flying onto the blade!

The cheers from the audience froze abruptly, as if someone had slit their throat; everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Luo Cheng, who was just launching a strong offensive, has suddenly been linked up by someone!

"You..."

Luo Cheng also noticed the faint lines on his body at this moment, and immediately thought of the other party's name, his face turned ugly.

Qiu Wuhen's arm trembled, and he sheathed his sword. His eyes remained as calm and unwavering as when he stepped onto the stage.

Luo Cheng knew that his opponent had held back; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the subsequent attacks after the initial sword strike.

"I lost."

Luo Cheng lowered his head, his expression somewhat distressed. Was this the power of the Saint Child?

To his frustration, his opponent hadn't even revealed their Extreme Realm, yet they had defeated him solely through Sword Intent!

As the outcome was decided, the million disciples below the stage gradually came to their senses, all of them stunned.

At this moment, some people realized that Qiu Wuhen hadn't used his Extreme Realm at all; he hadn't truly gone all out!

"This is too powerful! Is this the strength of the Saint Child?"

"To defeat Extreme Realm with normalcy? That's too outrageous! I don't even understand it!"

"I sensed something was wrong a long time ago. The Wuhen Saint Child didn't use Return to the Ruins to hide, which probably means he doesn't intend to reveal himself."

"The Wuhen Saint Child is so strong, why didn't he use the Return to the Ruins to instantly dodge before attacking? He was injured one after another earlier, which was too embarrassing."

"Disheveled? What's disheveled about being injured? Didn't you see that the wounds of the Wuhen Saint Child have already healed?"

"But winning like this isn't very stylish, considering we had a chance to win Unharmed."

"Can being carefree put food on the table? What do you take the Saint Child for, someone who wastes his power just to show off? The Saint Child are all battle-hardened veterans; they'll stop at nothing to win, and winning is what being carefree means!"

The audience below was abuzz with discussion, all feeling the terrifying power of the Saint Child in this battle.

Qiu Wuhen turned and stepped off the stage. The dozen or so Saint Child and Saint Daughter in another area also had solemn expressions.

Only a few remained calm and unmoved.

Lin Qingying's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of contemplation. The opponent's Sword Intent was somewhat similar to her own Supreme Gentle Sword Intent, but there were also significant differences. If they were to meet, she didn't know if she could win.

In this battle, Qiu Wuhen only displayed his Swordsmanship, yet he already made many people feel a sense of pressure.

As soon as the Battle Stage became empty, new duels were quickly set to begin.

After several battles, another Saint Child was chosen to fight against the Inner Sect's Heavenly Prodigy.

However, this inner disciple had not mastered the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, but he possessed the three Extreme Realm of Divine Power, Heaven and Earth Meridian, and Primordial Spirit. After all of them were revealed, the Saint Child easily defeated him with a single sword strike using the Return to Emptiness Teleportation.

The ease with which this battle was fought made many people realize that compared to the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, other Extreme Realm seemed somewhat weak.

After all, there's no way to track them; they come and go without a trace, leaving you only able to passively take hits. You can't even catch up if you want to counterattack; it's simply unsolvable.

Watching these battles, Li Hao compared them to the six Dao Law Realm beings he had previously killed in the Great Yu Imperial Palace. One of them had also mastered the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, so he should be considered one of the top Heavenly Prodigy of the Inner Sect.

Back then, he was still in the Great Peace Dao Realm, and it took him a great deal of effort to finally defeat it with the help of the Heavenly Venerable Will. Now, he doesn't need to go through that trouble.

The fierce battles continued, with over twenty matches in succession. The Saint Child and Saint Daughter entered the fray one after another, and without exception, they all won their battles.

Some won easily with a single move, while others encountered formidable top Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy who had mastered the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm and had to expend considerable effort to win, which was already considered quite a humiliating defeat.

Soon, Lin Qingying also made her move, but her luck seemed to be a bit bad, as her opponent was actually a Saint Child!

With the competition nearly halfway through, the first clash between Saint Child and Saintess Maiden occurred, and the draw for this battle immediately ignited the atmosphere in the arena.

In previous clashes, they had rarely seen the Saint Child and Saint Daughter pushed to their limits. Now, in this battle between dragon and phoenix, there is clearly a chance to see that.

All the disciples were extremely curious about the limits of these top Heavenly Prodigy within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, wondering just how far they could go.

Lin Qingying frowned slightly, not expecting that he would have to use his True Power so soon.

Premature exposure makes it easier for others to detect us, which is disadvantageous for later battles, but there's no other way now.

"Oh dear, why is Qingying so unlucky?"

"Qingying, you absolutely must win!"

Beside Li Hao, Alchemist like Lin Shan Hai were so angry they slapped their thighs. Drawing Saint Child in the first round of the points battle was just too unlucky!

At this moment, Lin Qingying and the Dragon Slayer Saint Child she had drawn both Descent onto the Battle Stage.

They exchanged a glance, both aware of each other's situation, Dragon Slayer Saint Child sighed with regret:

"I didn't expect to face you so soon. Well, I'll warm up before I fight Bright Moon."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below gasped in surprise, some even shocked. To dare to speak so arrogantly in front of the Saintess —this Dragon Slayer Saint Child was far too domineering.

Lin Qingying remained indifferent, saying nothing, but slowly drew her sword and held it quietly.

With the Magic Array sealing off the area, the battle began.

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child's eyes were cold. He drew his sword, but instead of charging, he walked step by step toward Lin Qingying.

Such a display resembled that of an ordinary person making a move, but the disciples below the stage all knew that at this moment, even a feather falling on the stage would instantly trigger a thunderous explosion.

Lin Qingying and the Dragon Slayer Saint Child were both building up their own momentum. When the Dragon Slayer Saint Child stepped into the ten-zhang range, Lin Qingying's eyes narrowed slightly.

At the same moment, the Dragon Slayer Saint Child's body suddenly teleported away and disappeared in the instant she narrowed her eyes, Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm!

Bang!

Suddenly, a roar like a dragon's cry rang out, and the crimson-gold divine Divine Sword in the hand of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child erupted with a deafening whistling sound, appearing above Lin Qingying's head and slashing out fiercely!

The moment the opponent teleported away, Lin Qingying also teleported away. Therefore, when the Dragon Slayer Saint Child appeared, Lin Qingying's body had just disappeared and instead appeared behind him. She gently swung the green sword in her hand, as if she were flicking a Cloud Sleeve.

But the energy of the Heavenly Circuit instantly transformed into Sword-Ray, piercing out fiercely.

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child suddenly turned around and swung his Sword Light, seemingly anticipating Lin Qingying's sudden movement.

The cyan-gold Sword Light touched, but it did not produce the expected violent shock. The crimson-gold Sword Light seemed to be slashing at cotton, and even felt like it was sinking into it. Then, Lin Qingying's whole body burst out with golden Divine Power, and her arm strength exploded.

But the power it unleashed was like golden, shimmering clouds, soft and scattered, transforming into firefly-like light that enveloped the Dragon Slayer Saint Child.

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child's expression changed slightly. Return to Emptiness Teleportation, then reappeared behind Lin Qingying.

But this time, Lin Qingying did not choose to Return to the Ruins. Instead, she turned around gently. At the moment when the Sword Light of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child suddenly pierced through, her turn seemed intentional or unintentional, causing the sword to pass through her arm and waist. Her Sword Light, however, was like golden firelight, which was blown away on the other party's face.

With several soft thuds, the face of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child was as if it had been slashed open, instantly burning several holes, leaving it dripping with blood.

Damn it!

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child was somewhat shocked and angry. A domineering cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes. His Sword Dao carried an Imperial Emperor Aura. He had accumulated Sword Intent by slaying Dragon Clan. At this moment, he exuded the Sword Dao's intimidation, like a majestic god emperor standing in the field.

Even with the Magic Array blocking their way, the disciples below the stage all felt this intimidation, a sense of fear washing over them, and they wanted to kneel and worship.

Lin Qingying's eyes trembled slightly, and she was also affected, but her Supreme Gentle Sword Dao was subtle and pervasive. This intimidating effect was directed at her, yet it penetrated her body, as if she were untargetable.

Whoosh!

Her Sword Intent was like water, swiftly slashing out. Seemingly soft and gentle, it directly pierced through the domineering sword strike of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child, tearing another wound at his waist.

"The Supreme Gentle Sword Dao, with its gentle swordplay like water, is indeed difficult to deal with."

On another Saint Platform, more than a dozen Saint Child and Saint Daughter were also watching this battle intently, and they could all see that Lin Qingying's Sword Intent had been cultivated to near Perfection.

On the other hand, the Dragon Slayer Saint Child, though possessing great Imperial Emperor power, was somewhat restrained by the Supreme Gentleness Lin Qingying.

Bang!

Suddenly, a majestic Dharma Form slowly appeared on the Battle Stage. It was none other than the appearance of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child, but he wore a white and gold robe and held a giant sword, like a god or Imperial Emperor.

Its majestic presence caused the Cloudmist at the Mountain Summit to disperse and create ripples.

"The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form is the Extreme Realm sainthood!"

Many disciples exclaimed in surprise, "The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form is the Third Extreme Realm, but it is also known as the Extreme Realm sainthood, because only by reaching this Extreme Realm can one become a saint!"

The fact that he was able to condense the Third Extreme Realm is enough to show that he was an unparalleled Prodigy at the beginning of his cultivation path, with a heart that could encompass Heaven and Earth and a disdain for the world.

As the Dharma Form Image shone, an Anger Killing Aura appeared in the eyes of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child. He had originally planned to save these techniques for his battle against Bright Moon, but now he had to use them ahead of time.

"Sword Emperor Limitless, Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword!!"

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child roared, merging his Dharma Form into Unity, and simultaneously raised the Divine Sword in his hand, his Dao Domain expanding outwards, revealing itself to be a 21-layer Dao Domain!

With each layer stacked upon the last, Sword Qi crisscrossed the Dao Domain, filling the entire Battle Stage with the Sword Qi as it fell.

In an open area, one can escape directly with the power of the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, but on this Battle Stage, even with the Return to Emptiness Teleportation, one cannot stay inside for long and will inevitably have to reveal oneself, and once revealed, one will be subjected to indiscriminate attacks from this area!

It is precisely because of the consideration of the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm that Battle Stage was set up to limit the range; otherwise, if both sides kept traversing the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, they could fight for eternity.

Facing the endless Sword Qi from all directions, Lin Qingying's figure transformed into a streak of Azure Radiance, suddenly flashing into the Return to the Ruins, not to dodge, but to approach the Dragon Slayer Saint Child.

The Sword Light in his hand rose, and suddenly the sound of ocean Tide seemed to resound.

Then, an endless wave suddenly swept in, both Supreme Gentleness and powerful!

Softness can penetrate anywhere, but once it does, it becomes the most ferocious Sword Qi.

Puff puff puff puff!

Lin Qingying's Sword Qi also erupted into a wide area, enveloping the Dragon Slayer Saint Child. A wave of Sword Intent surged out, actually piercing through his Dharma Form and Dao Domain, leaving trails of blood mist in the Dragon Slayer Saint Child's body.

"You!"

The Dragon Slayer Saint Child was shocked, his eyes filled with Anger. Despite his severe injuries, he suddenly slashed down with his sword.

Lin Qingying's expression changed slightly. She raised her hand and swung her sword. This sword strike seemed to press down on the entire mountain and river, and with a bang, it sent her flying.

With a soft "poof, "Lin Qingying spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale. She then quickly teleported, transforming into an extreme Azure Radiance that suddenly pierced through the Dharma Form of the Dragon Slayer Saint Child.

The Sword Qi on the battlefield also ceased, the Imperial Emperor's Dharma Form dissipated, Dragon Slayer Saint Child's face turned pale. Looking at the Sword Light on his chest, his eyes revealed misery and unwillingness, but even more so, Anger towards himself.

Lin Qingying sheathed her sword, glanced at him, and then turned and left.

The battle is over, and the outcome is decided.

The million Outer Sect Disciple, including most of the inner disciple, were all somewhat astonished to see how Lin Qingying had finally shattered the Dharma Form. They were all taken aback by the fact that such a massive battle had ended in the blink of an eye.

However, the dozen or so Saint Child and Saint Daughter on the Saint Platform had solemn expressions.

They could all see that the sword strike was so fluid, almost merging with space itself, that it was quite terrifying!

As Lin Qingying returned to the Saint Platform, many Saint Child and Saint Daughter turned their gazes to her with solemn expressions.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Qingying win. Her Sword Intent had some minor flaws, yet she still managed to win. Fortunately, her opponent's Sword Intent was even more fragile, possessing only the arrogance of Imperial Emperor but lacking the true domineering and invincible aura of Imperial Emperor.

The imperial aura cultivated through slaying Dragon Clan was ultimately too weak.

True Imperial Emperor aura should be the Supreme domineering aura that makes one the only one worthy of respect in the Heaven and Earth, and even Sage bow down to it.

Li Hao shook his head slightly. Lin Qingying's battle was quite dangerous. He would help her with her Sword Dao issues when he had the chance.

As Li Hao pondered this, Ancestor Yao and the other six Half-Saint also smiled. They were gratified that the Saint Child and Saint Daughter of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land possessed such abilities.

Despite unleashing the Five Extremes Realm, the Dragon Slayer Saint Child was still defeated; his Sword Dao was inadequate, leading to his loss. Lin Qingying, on the other hand, did not display her Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, but her Sword Intent was close to Perfection, making her a once-in-a-millennium Sword Dao Heavenly Prodigy.

The battle on the stage continued. With each second move and the accumulation of points, Qiu Wuhen and Lin Qingying were chosen to fight again. They were both inner disciple and won easily.

Besides that, there were two other groups of Saint Child clashing together. One group fought fiercely, with both sides at the Five Extremes Realm, their Heaven and Earth Dharma Form wielding swords and clashing on the Battle Stage, creating a magnificent spectacle that lasted for half an hour. In the end, the other side suffered a crushing victory.

This battle thrilled many disciples, who were also deeply moved. These Saint Child and Saint Daughter seemed to possess the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.

The Five Extremes Realm seems to be the standard requirement for Saint Child!

The remaining skill levels depend on each other's Dao Domain, Dao Body, and so on.

The other group of Saint Child- level contests, however, ended very quickly.

"The Bright Moon Saint Child actually defeated the Purple Sun Saint Child with a single Crescent Moon sword strike! That's incredibly powerful!"

"I heard he practices the Sun and Moon Sword Art, seeking harmony between Heaven and Earth, and the eternal existence of the sun and moon."

"You all don't know this, do you? Among the Saint Child and Saint Daughter, the Bright Moon Saint Child is in a league of his own. I heard that his Dao Domain had already reached the thirtieth level thirty years ago!"

Thirty Dao Domain? No way!

"What's so special about that? The Bright Moon Saint Child is a born Sun and Moon Sword Body, possessing both Sun and Moon Sword Qi within him since birth. He is clearly a reincarnation of Sage, and he was born with Yin Yang Dual Meridians!"

"Compared to the Bright Moon Saint Child, someone like me, who was born with Yang Meridian, is like a mongrel."

Seeing that the Bright Moon Saint Child had made a move, the expressions of the other Saint Child and Saint Daughter all became solemn. The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form of the Purple Sun Saint Child, the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, was actually cut off by the Bright Moon Saint Child with just a single Crescent Moon sword.

Even the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm to Nothingness was avoided by the opponent; this method is unfathomable and somewhat terrifying!

"That Bright Moon Saint Child is too strong. I heard that thirty years ago, he was already the best among the Saint Child. Now, thirty years Past, his Swordsmanship is even more terrifying."

Alchemist like Lin Shan Hai were also discussing this with Li Hao.

Although they usually only refine elixirs, they are very knowledgeable about all kinds of gossip.

"He defeated the Saint Child with a single sword strike. If Qingying were to encounter him, she should either admit defeat outright, conserve her strength, and aim for second place."

Zhao Yingzhen looked worried and offered suggestions to Lin Shan Hai.

Lin Shan Hai's eyes were full of sorrow. He thought so too, but he knew his granddaughter's temper. To settle for second place? She seemed gentle and easy-going, but deep down she was extremely proud. How could she possibly bow her head!

The Battle Stage, but Yuwen Haoyue, with his tall and imposing figure and eyes that shone with a golden light, walked straight up to Lin Qingying.

"Well, have you thought it through about what I told you last time? Marry me."

Yuwen Haoyue stood in front of Lin Qingying, but said something surprising.

Upon hearing his words, the dozen or so Saint Child and Saint Daughter around him were all startled and couldn't help but look at him, and then at Lin Qingying.

Yuwen Haoyue is actually pursuing Lin Qingying?

This was earth-shattering news, and they only just found out.

"If you wish to use me to practice your swordsmanship, to sever ties of Many Emotions and achieve your Heaven and Earth Great Harmony Will, then please choose someone else. I will not accompany you."

Lin Qingying frowned and said coldly.

A glint of golden light appeared in Yuwen Haoyue's eyes as he gazed at her and said, "Your 'Supreme Gentle Sword Dao' is a minor path. If you submit to me, when I become a saint in the future, I will choose a path to Sage Entry for you as a reward, and also as my betrothal gift to you!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the other Saint Child and Saint Daughter' eyes flickered, and they suddenly realized why. No wonder, at their level, apart from the sword, they had few other emotions in their hearts, and when weighing the benefits, they would often choose to give them up.

It's clear that the Bright Moon Saint Child's pursuit of Lin Qingying is a losing proposition, since Lin Qingying also has her own Sword Dao and wouldn't easily agree. This pursuit is bound to be fruitless, or even exhausting. But now, listening to their conversation, it's understandable.

The words "a path to sainthood as a betrothal gift" caused the other Saintess' eyes to flicker slightly. Some showed no reaction, but others' eyes gleamed with admiration.

Ultimately, the goal of spiritual practice is nothing more than to become a saint and live forever!

Although they were all Saint Child Heavenly Prodigy with their own pride, it was clear that Yuwen Haoyue was far superior to them.

"My Sword Dao is no minor path; even if it were, I would cultivate it into the Great Dao!"

Seeing that the other party was belittling her Sword Dao, Lin Qingying's eyes grew even colder, and she said icily, "Don't force me to draw my sword now!"

Yuwen Haoyue frowned slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. "We'll see then!"

Having said that, he didn't say anything more and turned back to his seat.

Lin Qingying's face was cold. She turned her head away and ignored her.

The conversation was kept secret on the Saint Platform and did not get out. Apart from a dozen or so Saint Child and Saint Daughter who knew about it, the disciples below the platform remained focused on the fierce battle on the Battle Stage.

Sitting in his Floating Seats, Li Hao was bored, but he noticed this scene. However, due to the Barrier, he couldn't hear what was being said, but he did see that Lin Qingying's expression was not very pleasant.

After two days of intense competition, a battle of endurance and combat prowess, the points-based system finally came to an end.

Lin Qingying made five moves and won all of them, advancing to the top sixteen.

The other thirteen Saint Child and Saint Daughter were also among the top sixteen, and none of them were eliminated early.

Among the top sixteen, besides the fourteen Saint Child and Saint Daughter, there are two top Inner Sect Heavenly Prodigy with extremely strong combat power. In their previous battles against the other Saint Child and Saint Daughter, they only narrowly lost.

The round of 16 will begin tomorrow.

Today, after watching the battle for so long, many disciples are feeling a bit tired, their brains are swollen from absorbing so much information, and they need to go back and digest it properly.

Li Hao also returned with Lin Shan Hai and the other Alchemist, and did not go Angling with the Sword Master again today.

When Li Hao returned to the Alchemy Courtyard, he saw that Lin Qingying had already returned to the courtyard ahead of them. She was still in her usual spot, sitting cross-legged and resting, with her sword lying across her legs.

Li Hao thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I watched your fight today; it was very exciting and impressive."

Lin Qingying kept her eyes closed, seemingly unmoved and unresponsive.

Li Hao said, "But some of the poses aren't graceful enough. I'd like to draw them out for you to see, what do you think?"

Lin Qingying then opened her eyes. The last time Li Hao drew her Sword Dao flaws, he used the same words. "Beautiful..." This was the painter's description of her appearance.

Could it be that there's a flaw in my Sword Intent?

Lin Qingying looked at Li Hao, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"What about your own Swordsmanship? Haven't you been practicing it? I heard you passed Ancestor Yao's Trial and mastered the basics within ten days. Your Sword Dao talent is top-notch among the inner disciple. Don't you plan to practice it?"

How did you know?

Li Hao was surprised, because he hadn't publicized his success in passing the Ancestor Yao's test, and no one else even knew about it.

Lin Qingying frowned slightly, withdrew her gaze, and said calmly, "Go ahead and draw if you want."

Li Hao has a talent for Sword Dao and can also draw, so she can understand why he was able to draw out her Sword Dao flaws.

Seeing that she agreed, Li Hao immediately took out Drawing Board. He pondered for a moment, thinking that the battles would become more and more frequent, and that he might encounter extremely strong opponents at any time. He decided to draw all the flaws in the opponent's Sword Dao at once.
