In the Grand Void Illusory Realm.

Li Xiuwen was locked in a fierce battle with Wang Yingzhao.

"So fast."

Li Xiuwen knew this was the White Crane Style's advanced Movement Technique, "Crane Soaring Through Heavenly Light."

The White Crane Style had always excelled at agility and movement.

In movement alone, of all the Tiger Elephants he had faced, Wang Yingzhao was second only to Thunder God Lo's Great Mastery-level "Flash Thunder Movement."

"Thousand-Wave Floating Radiance" was enough against someone of Dao Youming's caliber, but it fell a little short against a prodigy from a Renowned Martial Arts Hall.

Fortunately, Li Xiuwen had sharper battle instincts.

In the end, he narrowly defeated Wang Yingzhao.

Li Xiuwen had fought Wang Yingzhao dozens of times.

One had sharper instincts, while the other was far ahead in movement. Wang Yingzhao also held a slight edge in Combat Method proficiency.

Overall, they were evenly matched.

Li Xiuwen murmured, "If I count my trump card, 'Binding Armor Skill,' my odds of winning should be above ninety-nine percent. Vegetable Monk, Liu Yiyi, Ao Jiu, and the others are roughly as strong as Wang Yingzhao. If I use Hard Qigong, I'm almost certain to win. The only problem is that the judges at the Crossing River Assembly are all Inner Heaven and Earth experts. They might see that the roots of my Hard Qigong lie in Binding Armor Skill, not Iron Buddha Art. But getting into the Learning Society matters more. Besides, Binding Armor Skill is only my second trump card now. My first is Heart Furnace Three Forgings."

Of course, there was another possibility.

Some of those Tiger Elephant prodigies might also practice Hard Qigong. If so, Li Xiuwen would have to work harder. Either way, he was confident he could claim a place in the Learning
