The Cyan Tornado struck the cyan shield, producing a muffled thud. The cyan shield shook violently, multiple cracks appeared on its surface, and its spiritual light dimmed.

Two Giant Fireball, each five zhang in diameter, shot towards the blue shield, engulfing it in flames. Before the flames had even subsided, two more Giant Fireball hurtled towards it.

A deafening roar, and waves of heat.

Liu Sheng made a hand seal, and the cyan shield emitted a dazzling cyan light, while the flames slowly dissipated.

The blue shield had multiple cracks on its surface, indicating it was badly damaged.

Two white ice spikes, each about two zhang long, flew towards the shield and struck it accurately, producing two muffled thuds and a puff of blue smoke. The cracks on the surface of the shield widened.

A Giant Wind Blade, over ten zhang long, shot out and struck the cyan shield, splitting it in two. The Giant Wind Blade then struck the Cyan Light Screen surrounding Liu Sheng's body, producing a muffled thud.

"The Great Perfection of Wind Sweeps Away Clouds all obstacles!"

Liu Sheng frowned. This was Second-Rank Spell, and Shen Long had actually mastered it to perfection.

That's not all. Judging from Shen Long's casting speed, he has also mastered Wind Blade Technique and Ice Spike Technique to Great Perfection.

Shen Long raised his right hand, and a Cyan Tornado swept out, instantly reaching Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng quickly summoned five Cyan Flying Knife; judging from their Spiritual Qi fluctuations, they were all High-grade Magical Tool.

The five Cyan Flying Knife merged into one, transforming into a giant blade shimmering with cyan light, which slashed towards the Cyan Tornado.

With a deafening roar, the Cyan Tornado was shattered, and hundreds of Giant Wind Blade shot out. Most of these Giant Wind Blade struck Liu Sheng's Body-Protecting Spirit Light, producing a muffled thud, and Liu Sheng's Body-Protecting Spirit Light dimmed.

Two Giant Fireball hurtled towards us, unleashing a wave of heat.

Just as Liu Sheng was about to cast a spell to defend himself, a sharp screech rang out, and his head began to spin.

The Giant Fireball slammed into his Body-Protecting Spirit Light, exploded, and engulfed Liu Sheng's figure, making it appear and disappear.

Five Yellow Flying Knife shot out, easily piercing through Liu Sheng's Body-Protecting Spirit Light and flying past him from the Liu Sheng and right sides.

Liu Sheng was unharmed, but broke out in a cold sweat.

"Thank you for your mercy, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Liu Sheng clasped his hands in greeting and made a hand seal. The lid of the Cyan Giant Cauldron flew off, and the Gold-Eating Ant flew out and returned to Shen Long's side.

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Liu."

Shen Long said modestly, and put away the Spirit Insect.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Little Friend Shen has actually mastered the Wind Control Technique, Fireball Technique, Water Shield Technique, Ice Spike Technique, Wind Wall Technique, Wind Blade Technique, and Wind Sweeps Away Clouds to the Great Perfection. Not bad!"

True Man Ganyang praised it.

"Daoist Chen is too kind. Nephew Shen is still quite far behind my Gan Xiaoyou."

Master Ice Silkworm spoke modestly, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Shen Long to have mastered multiple Law Technique to the Great Perfection, which was extremely rare even among the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect.

"He has already made it into the top 16, and I feel he can make it into the top 10."

"That's what the True Man Golden Blade said."

After this round of competition, Ye Yuqing and Lin Sisi were eliminated, and the sixteen Foundation Establishment Cultivator drew lots again for the next round.

Apart from Shen Long, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator were at least in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and some were at the Great Perfection Foundation Establishment.

"Shen Long! I've never heard of him!"

"Yes! When did this person appear in the Spirit Control Sect?"

"This person has mastered several wind-based Law Technique to the Great Perfection, and should be using Spirit Bird as a second-tier Spirit Bird. However, Wind Sweeps Away Clouds Wind Wall Technique are difficult to cultivate. This person is very talented in magic!"

The cultivators were abuzz with discussion, talking about Shen Long.

"Hmph, Senior Brother Shen is one of the 72 Talents of our Spirit Control Sect. He is devoted to cultivation and is also Alchemist. He is just being low-key."

Qian Dafu looked smug.

The more capable Shen Long is, the more face Qian Dafu has.

"One of the 72 Talents! Alchemist!"

The cultivators suddenly understood and their faces showed admiration.

Sixteen Foundation Establishment Cultivator drew lots to compete. This time, Shen Long's opponent was a Purple-Skirted Woman.

As soon as the competition began, the Purple-Skirted Woman produced Talisman that shimmered with Zhang Qing, which transformed into a Cyan Tornado and instantly appeared in front of Shen Long.

Shen Long reacted quickly, raising his right hand to create a Cyan Wind Wall in front of him, while a thick Blue Water Screen appeared around him, protecting his entire body.

The Cyan Tornado crashed into the Cyan Wind Wall with a muffled thud. The Cyan Tornado exploded, and numerous Giant Wind Blade shot out, striking the cyan Cyan Wind Wall Cyan Wind Wall one after another, causing it to collapse.

Some Giant Wind Blade struck the Blue Water Screen Blue Water Screen, causing ripples to spread across it.

Shen Long frowned and quickly retreated. Numerous Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground and rushed towards him.

He raised both hands simultaneously, and two Giant Fireball flew out, smashing into the Cyan Vine Cyan Vine, which burned to ashes.

A beam of azure light shone from Shen Long's back, and a pair of Cyan Feather Wings appeared. With a gentle flap, he took off and flew into the air.

With a wave of his hands in the air, a huge Crimson Fireball appeared, radiating terrifying heat, and headed straight for the Purple-Skirted Woman below.

Even before the Giant Fireball got close, a terrifyingly high temperature hit them head-on.

Just as the Purple-Skirted Woman was about to cast a spell to defend herself, a sharp screech rang out, and Giant Fireball slammed into her Body-Protecting Spirit Light, instantly exploding into billowing flames that engulfed the Purple-Skirted Woman.

Before the flames had even subsided, a second Giant Fireball hurtled towards them, accompanied by Cyan Tornado.

Shen Long raised both hands simultaneously, unleashing Cyan Wind Blade, ice spikes, Cyan Tornado, and Giant Fireball to attack the Purple-Skirted Woman.

The Purple-Skirted Woman unleashed Law Artifact to attack Shen Long, Shen Long in turn unleashed his Law Artifact to defend himself.

"Fellow Daoist, stop! I concede."

The Purple-Skirted Woman couldn't hold out for long and finally admitted defeat.

"He's gained another Flying Technique. This is getting more and more interesting. Just how many more techniques will he master to Great Perfection?"

True Man Ganyang looked on with curiosity.

"Even with the assistance of his Life-Bound Spirit Bird, he is still quite young. To have mastered so many wind-based Law Technique to the Great Perfection shows that he has considerable talent in magic. It's a pity he didn't join our Purple Firmament Gate."

"Master Jinqian said in a regretful tone."

"Nephew Shen can receive the same excellent training in our Spirit Control Sect."

Xu Yang said.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Shen! You've made it into the top ten!"

Qian Dafu offered his congratulations, his face beaming with joy.

Ye Yuqing and other acquaintances congratulated Shen Long. Lin Sisi also came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations! Junior Brother Shen, it would be even better if you could make it into the top five."

"I'll try."

Shen Long said seriously.

Sixteen Foundation Establishment Cultivator drew lots to compete. The winners advanced to the top eight, while the losers continued to compete. Two of them were selected to become the top ten.

Five of the top ten are disciples of the Mystic Yang Sect, two are from the Spirit Control Sect, and one each from the Tyrant Blade Villa, Purple Firmament Gate, and Seven Rosy Clouds Sect. Among them, Shen Long stands out the most.

The match was decided by drawing lots, and Shen Long's opponent was a burly Red-Shirted Man. As soon as the match began, the Red-Shirted Man brandished a long Red Long Staff that shimmered with red light and swung it at Shen Long.

A beam of azure light shone from Shen Long's back, and a pair of Cyan Feather Wings appeared. With a gentle flap, he soared into the air, dodging the Red Long Staff.

With a flick of his right hand, a Cyan Tornado swept out and headed straight for the Red-Shirted Man.

The Red-Shirted Man swung his Red Long Staff and charged forward, smashing the Cyan Tornado to pieces. Hundreds of Giant Wind Blade shot out, but he managed to block most of them. Several Giant Wind Blade struck the Red-Shirted Man's body, producing a muffled thud, and leaving several faint bloodstains on his skin.

"Body Cultivator!"

Shen Long frowned.

If it were a life-or-death duel, that would be easy; he wouldn't hold back. But this is just a friendly exchange.

"Use whatever means you have, just spare his life."

The voice of Master Ice Silkworm rang in Shen Long's ears.

Shen Long nodded, raised both hands, and two Giant Fireball flew out, crashing towards the Red-Shirted Man.

Just as the Red-Shirted Man was about to make a move, a sharp screech rang out. This time, the Divine Sense Attack was ineffective. The Red-Shirted Man swung his Red Long Staff and smashed the Giant Fireball to pieces.

"A magical Law Artifact for defending against Divine Sense Attack!"

Shen Long frowned, his gaze falling on the red jade Red Jade Pendant on the chest of the Red-Shirted Man.

One trick can't guarantee success forever, Divine Sense Attack aren't invincible.

Previously, Shen Long was able to defeat his enemies largely thanks to the Iron Tail Scorpion's Divine Sense Attack. This time, however, the Divine Sense Attack failed, and his opponent was Body Cultivator, making things difficult.

As Shen Long unleashed Giant Fireball at the Red-Shirted Man, he landed on the ground.

He released more than 20,000 Gold-Eating Ant, which coalesced into a long, gleaming golden spear that shot straight toward the Red-Shirted Man at great speed.

The Red-Shirted Man wielded a long Red Long Staff, conjuring countless staff shadows that smashed the Golden Spear to pieces, turning it into more than 20,000 Gold-Eating Ant.

They suddenly solidified, transforming into Golden Arrow.

A dense Golden Arrow hurtled towards the Red-Shirted Man, Red-Shirted Man swung his Red Long Staff Golden Arrow block them.

Shen Long used his Wind Control Technique to appear behind the Red-Shirted Man and summoned a small, shimmering golden mirror.

The Golden Condensation Mirror High-grade Magical Tool obtained from Xu Yunfeng. It can temporarily immobilize enemies or Law Artifact.

He infused his Law Power, and a golden light shot out from the surface of the Golden Condensation Mirror, heading straight for the Red-Shirted Man.

Just as the Red-Shirted Man was about to dodge, several thick, Cyan Vine sprouted from the ground, binding his feet and preventing him from moving away. Golden rays of light fell upon the Red-Shirted Man.

The Red-Shirted Man felt as if he couldn't move, as if an invisible hand had grabbed him.

Shen Long summoned a Blue Seal, infused it with a magic spell, and the Blue Seal instantly expanded, smashing towards the Red-Shirted Man.

"Stop! Fellow Daoist Shen, stop! You've won!"

The referee quickly announced.

If that thing were to fall, even if the Red-Shirted Man were Body Cultivator, he would perish.

"Thank you for the concession."

Shen Long clasped his hands in greeting, put away the Spirit Insect and Law Artifact, and stepped off the arena.

Among the crowd, a short, stout young man in a yellow shirt turned his gaze and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Shen Long successfully entered the top five, which is a very good result. There are two Mystic Yang Sect disciples in the top five: Shen Long, Yu Tianhong, and Wei Tianming.

Wei Tianming is Wei Tianbao's uncle. He is a Body Cultivator and defeated Yang Xue.

Yu Tianhong is a descendant of Fairy Yuncai and has the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage.

"This is interesting. Daoist Chen lost, but each of our three sects has one disciple who made it into the top five. How should this be calculated?"

"That's what the True Man Golden Blade said."

"Why don't we let the three of them have a competition and see who comes in first place?"

"It was suggested by the Fairy Yuncai."

Both Master Ice Silkworm and True Man Golden Blade had no objections and agreed.

The three contestants, including Shen Long, drew lots to determine the winner. Shen Long drew a blank number and advanced directly to the next round.

Yu Tianhong sparred with Wei Tianming. He possessed a set of top-grade Top-Grade Dharma Artifact Top-Grade Dharma Artifact, and Wei Tianming was no match for their attacks, losing to Yu Tianhong.

"That's not fair, Madam Yu. Yu!"

"True Man Golden Blade frowned and said."

"How is it unfair? I can't let my descendants have Top-Grade Dharma Artifact and not use them!"

The Fairy Yuncai disagreed.

"Nephew Shen is only in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. It's simply unfair for young friend Yu to use a complete set of top-grade Top-Grade Dharma Artifact."

Master Ice Silkworm frowned and said.

"He doesn't need a complete set of top-grade Top-Grade Dharma Artifact; using a single piece is fine, right? Don't tell me he can't even use a single top- Top-Grade Dharma Artifact."

"That's what the Fairy Yuncai said."

"Single item is fine."

Master Ice Silkworm agreed.

Shen Long and Yu Tianhong sparred, and the winner would be third place.

As soon as the match began, Shen Long raised both hands, and two Giant Fireball shot out, crashing into the opponent.

Yu Tianhong quickly summoned a Golden Shield to block the two Giant Fireball, but the flames engulfed the Golden Shield.

He brandished a Golden Curved Blade, heading straight for Shen Long; this was Top-Grade Dharma Artifact.

With a flick of his wrist, Shen Long caused the Five Spirit Beads to emit a dazzling five-colored spiritual light, and a thick Five-Colored Light Screen appeared to protect his entire body.

The power of Top-Grade Dharma Artifact is immense; even Wind Wall Technique cannot withstand it.

The Golden Curved Blade struck the Five-Colored Light Screen, producing a muffled thud.

A shimmering golden orb flew towards Shen Long and arrived in front of him in an instant.

Shen Long raised his right hand, and a Giant Wind Blade shot out, slashing towards the Golden Orb.

The Golden Orb emitted a dazzling golden light, then exploded, transforming into a massive Golden Thunder Light that engulfed Shen Long's figure, and most of the arena was submerged in the Golden Thunder Light.

Yu Tianhong was about to use other methods, his Divine Sense detected Shen Long appearing behind him.

Just as he was about to make his move, two Giant Fireball slammed into his Body-Protecting Spirit Light, engulfing his figure in flames and dimming the Body-Protecting Spirit Light.

With a muffled thud, his Body-Protecting Spirit Light shattered, and a Golden Light Flowing Spear, flew out from behind him, brushing past him.

Yu Tianhong broke out in a cold sweat; if it were a life-or-death battle, he would already be dead.

"I give up."

Yu Tianhong said.

He couldn't figure out how Shen Long had suddenly appeared behind him; if they had fought head-on, he wouldn't have lost so quickly.

"Whirlwind Technique at its Great Perfection! Fellow Daoist Lin, this disciple of your Spirit Control Sect has exceptionally high magical talent!"

True Man Ganyang praised it.

Shen Long used his Whirlwind Technique to evade Yu Tianhong's attack, then appeared behind Yu Tianhong and launched a sneak attack to win the victory.

Master Ice Silkworm showed an approving expression and said, "Nephew Shen is indeed quite good, haha, fellow Daoists, thank you very much."

He became the biggest winner, taking all the bets.

The competition has now ended, with Shen Long securing third place, becoming the biggest dark horse of this Mystic Yang Dharma Assembly and successfully gaining the attention of three Core Formation Cultivator, including Master Ice Silkworm.
