"Zhou Chang wins, one point added!"
The area beneath the stage fell silent in an instant. After quite a while, thunderous applause erupted.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one had expected this old man, merely at Middle Qi Refining, to wield four elemental spells so skillfully and defeat an opponent at Late Qi Refining with only his Middle Qi Refining cultivation.
Such comprehension and ability were truly worthy of admiration.
Xu Changqing sat in the main viewing stand. Watching the victorious Zhou Chang, he could not help but nod slightly, a trace of approval appearing in his eyes.
With the outer sect competition drawing to a close, it was time for the inner sect competition.
The Four Geniuses and Shen Yan all took the stage.
The first to appear was Shi Po Jia, the most terrifyingly defensive of the inner sect's Four Geniuses.
He was built like a small mountain, muscles knotted all over his body. His blue training attire was stretched taut, and when he stepped onto the Duel Platform, even its surface trembled.
Shi Po Jia's opponent was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage sword cultivator, Zhao Liang.
He held a tempered azure steel longsword, its blade glinting with a biting chill.
He specialized in nimble sword techniques, particularly those that broke through the defenses of defensive cultivators.
After cupping his fists in greeting, Zhao Liang said, "Shi Po Jia, relying on nothing but physical defense, you will ultimately be no match for my longsword!"
Though he said that, he did not rashly attack. Instead, he began circling Shi Po Jia, constantly probing him in an attempt to find a body cultivator's weakness.
Shi Po Jia remained calm. His feet were firmly rooted on the Duel Platform like an immovable boulder, allowing his opponent to circle around him.
