Chapter 197
Su Changge, dressed in a light blue robe, stood tall and elegant, with a gentle smile on his face, resembling a refined young gentleman.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Ye Ruoshui frowned slightly. She hated this kind of seemingly refined but actually rotten person the most.
Su Changge looked embarrassed, then said, "But there's nothing to hide. I see that Fellow Daoist Ye has perfectly fused with the Innate Fire at such a young age, so he must have extremely strong talent in alchemy. Could you help me refine a kind of pill?"
He didn't say it directly, but beat around the bush.
After all, it's hard to believe that someone could possess such a large number of Fire Fusion Pills; even some major powers rarely have such a thing.
The Fire Fusion Pill is merely Earth-grade pill, not particularly high in quality. However, refining it requires a master alchemist who can perfectly fuse Innate Fire, and the Su family does not have anyone who can meet both conditions simultaneously.
The Holy Academy might have such a master, but he probably couldn't offer a sufficiently generous reward to get one.
"Not interested. You'd better find someone else."
Ye Ruoshui said calmly, then turned and left.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist, please wait!" Su Changge hurriedly caught up again, cupping his hands and saying, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be in such a hurry. Won't you listen to the reward I can offer?"
"No matter what benefits you offer, I don't need them. I have other things to do, so please don't bother me!"
Ye Ruoshui glanced coldly at Su Changge, then turned and left.
In an instant, Su Changge felt as if he were in scorching lava, his body burning with flames. Large beads of sweat poured down his face, and he was almost completely exhausted!
After a few breaths, he finally recovered, his eyes filled with terror.
"Ye Ruoshui... is terrifying!"
"That kind of flame was definitely the first..."
He took a deep breath, and the fear and panic on his face disappeared, replaced by determination and joy.
Arena Number Four
A slender, pale green figure stood on the stage, surrounded by wisps of bluish-green mist, hazy and indistinct, making it difficult to see clearly.
On the opposite side, however, was a completely different scene.
A young man in white stood suspended in mid-air, his entire body radiating intense golden light, almost solidifying into a tangible form.
These two completely opposite forces created a stark contrast.
"This match is interesting. Both players share the surname Lin. Is this an internal conflict within the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan?"
"You're overthinking it. Lin Wanqiu comes from the Southern Border, while Lin Tianyang comes from the Lin family, Longevity Family clan in the Hundred Sacred States. The two are not comparable!"
"If Lin Wanqiu wants to take advantage of the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan, she's probably not qualified!"
"Given that Lin Wanqiu and Lin Tianyang are of similar age, if this woman were to request to marry into the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan, given her talent, the Lin family would likely not refuse."
Ignoring the chatter of the crowd below, Lin Wanqiu's attention was entirely focused on the very familiar Jade Pendant at Lin Tianyang's waist.
The Jade Pendant looked exactly like the one her mother had left her, but the difference was that Lin Tianyang's jade Jade Pendant was gold, while hers was blue.
Lin Wanqiu frowned deeply. Could there be some connection between the two?
Her surname is Lin, Lin Tianyang's surname is also Lin, which inevitably makes her overthink things.
Moreover, she knew that her mother, who died shortly after her birth, also had the surname Lin.
"Hehe... Young lady, you've been staring at me so intently, could it be that you really want to marry into the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan?"
A playful smile played on Lin Tianyang's lips. He had never taken any woman seriously, but after meeting Lin Wanqiu today, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with her, so he deliberately teased her, not because he really had any other intentions.
"Snort!"
Lin Wanqiu composed herself, gave a cold snort, and a hint of frost appeared on her pretty face.
"On the stage, you'd better watch your mouth. Otherwise, you'll be too embarrassed to leave the stage when the fighting starts!"
Lin Wanqiu's tone was icy and chilling, without a trace of a joke.
"Oh? I'd like to see just how much Wanqiu is worth!"
Lin Tianyang abandoned his nonchalant tone and suddenly became serious.
A deep voice rang out.
"Flowing Light Splendor!"
Accompanied by voice.
His figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Lin Wanqiu. He clenched his right fist and unleashed a powerful punch with astonishing speed. The wind from his punch howled like a raging storm, shaking the surrounding area.
"Hmm? What amazing fist techniques!"
The crowd below the stage paled in shock. This punch was truly awe-inspiring, filling them with dread.
"The Flowing Light Splendor is a supreme divine power derived from the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan's <White Emperor Golden God Art>. It is said that this move can unleash several times or even dozens of times its original power in an instant!"
Lin Wanqiu frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp light, and a surge of rich Taiyin Power rose up and gathered in her palm.
The next moment.
A long, azure-blue sword materialized, its blade radiating a chilling light, its sharp Sword Qi raging, as if it would tear everything apart!
With a flick of her wrist, Lin Wanqiu sent her longsword flying, transforming it into a dense rain of azure swords that blotted out the sky.
Hiss hiss hiss...
A dense rain of azure swords, as thick as raindrops, instantly enveloped Lin Tianyang. Countless sword shadows were densely packed together, so tightly that no gaps could be seen.
The rain of swords was vast and boundless, sweeping in like a boundless ocean, pressing down on Lin Tianyang and making it difficult for him to breathe.
The sword shadows formed from a thousand strands of Taiyin Power fell like rain, instantly enveloping the stream of light that Lin Tianyang had transformed into.
Lin Tianyang's pupils contracted slightly, and his body suddenly swayed, transforming into a ball of golden light that shot out to the left.
Hiss hiss hiss...
The Taiyin Sword Rain instantly annihilated the golden light, but it continued to fall on the arena, creating a series of booming sounds.
"This... how is this possible?"
Lin Tianyang retreated rapidly, barely dodging the attack, his face filled with horror and disbelief.
He is a genius disciple of the prestigious Yang Prefecture Lin Clan, whose cultivation has reached the Transformation Realm, making him an undisputed leader among the younger generation.
Moreover, he cultivates one of the five imperial-level inheritances of the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan, the <White Emperor Golden God Art>!

"This Lin Wanqiu is something else..."
Lin Tianyang's expression turned solemn, and he became increasingly serious.
Perhaps he was careless from the very beginning.
Being able to rank in the top ten of the Trial Tower speaks volumes.
Moreover, he could sense that Lin Wanqiu's physique was extraordinary, seemingly some kind of Innate Physique, but he couldn't be sure which one it was.
"However, with just this one move, you're still a long way from winning against me!"
Lin Tianyang sneered inwardly, lightly tapped his toes, and darted towards Lin Wanqiu.
"The White Emperor Transforms into Dragon!"
He let out a low shout, and his whole body shone with a golden light, making him look like a golden man, indestructible.
The next moment, a dazzling golden light, like a rainbow, transformed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced.
"Hmph! A mere trick!"
Lin Wanqiu's lips curled up slightly, and with a light lift of her wrist, a sharp aura suddenly arose from her body, and an invincible and unbreakable sword intent burst forth!
In an instant.
A beam of brilliant blue-green sword light shot out from the sword, like a streak of lightning, slashing towards the oncoming golden dragon.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, unleashing a deafening roar, and a visible ripple spread outwards in all directions.
Click...
With a crisp sound, the golden dragon was cleaved in two, crumbling inch by inch. Its golden light vanished completely, leaving only a wisp of debris floating in the air, blown about by the fierce wind.
What's going on?
Lin Tianyang was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
"This is... the Great Perfection of sword intent!"
Upon hearing this statement...
Shocking the entire audience!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
As is well known, improving one's swordsmanship is much more difficult than improving one's supernatural abilities.
There are a hundred kinds of supernatural powers; mastering one leads to mastery of all. But the way of the sword is singular; the more proficient one becomes, the more difficult it is.
If we make an analogy, then a genius who can grasp the true meaning of supernatural powers at the Spirit Seed Realm would need to reach at least the Primal Embryo Realm to grasp the True Meaning of Sword Dao.
Therefore, swordsmanship is more difficult than supernatural powers, but its power is also greater.
In this introductory trial, or rather, among this generation of geniuses, only Jian Chen has clearly demonstrated the level of Great Perfection sword intent.
But now, there's another Lin Wanqiu.
If everyone present knew that Xiao Minghuang had also comprehended the Great Perfection of Sword Intent and could even pass it on to others through the Twin Swords Combination, they would probably be even more astonished.
"Sword Intent at its Great Perfection..."
Lin Tianyang was still in shock and couldn't calm down for a long time. He couldn't believe that a woman who came from a barren land and was unknown could possess such formidable strength!
It should be noted that the reason Jian Chen was able to comprehend the Great Perfection of Sword Intent was because he had a supreme expert behind him who had attained sainthood through the Dao of Sword. With such a mentor, it is entirely reasonable that Jian Chen comprehended the Great Perfection of Sword Intent before the age of fifty.
But what about Lin Wanqiu?
Could it be that she also has a supreme swordsman who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship behind her?
Lin Tianyang couldn't believe it.
Regardless, he has no chance of winning this match.
His strength was originally weaker than Qi Mingdao's.
However, even with Qi Mingdao's strength, he was no match for Jian Chen.
He was even less of a match for Lin Wanqiu, who possessed both Innate Physique and had mastered the Great Perfection sword intent.
The two are simply not on the same level!
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tianyang reluctantly spoke:
"I... admit defeat..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
His figure disappeared from the arena.
"This..."
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"The sword intent at its Great Perfection that it inspires despair, even preventing a prodigy like Lin Tianyang from even considering fighting against it!"
"She's already mastered the Great Perfection of Sword Intent at the Spirit Seed Realm, does that mean she'll comprehend the Sword Dao Domain at the Primal Embryo Realm?"
"Forget it, a domain is a power that only those at the Nascent Soul Realm can touch!"
"That's not necessarily true. My grandmaster said that those below the Nascent Soul Realm cannot comprehend a domain because their aptitude is too poor, making it difficult for them to resonate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If their aptitude is high enough, they can still comprehend a domain!"
"Not high enough aptitude? Then what aptitude is considered high? My Gu Dynasty's Third Prince, Gu Ruoshen, Innate Ancient God Body and a heaven-rank spiritual root. Whether his aptitude is high or not, he still hasn't comprehended a domain!"
Ignoring the crowd's comments, Lin Wanqiu quickly left the arena and returned to the training room.
Her thoughts were still on the Jade Pendant.
"Perhaps I should find some time to inquire more carefully about the Yang Prefecture Lin Clan..."
