First Place, the Spirit Realm Competition Ends
However, Lin Yueyao was exceptionally talented, and Lu Qiuzhan's cultivation level was only forcibly raised, not achieved through arduous cultivation.
After a hundred moves, Lu Qiuzhan's medicinal effects began to wear off, and he gradually lost his breath.
Lin Yueyao seized the opportunity and unleashed a move called Cold Moon Soul Lock, an ice-based Law Technique directly invaded Lu Qiuzhan's soul. Lu Qiuzhan let out a muffled groan and his consciousness wavered for a moment.
In that instant, Lin Yueyao's fingertip struck his shoulder with an ice spike.
You lost.
Lu Qiuzhan gave a wry smile, "Senior sister is a cut above the rest, I concede defeat."
Lin Yueyao wins and advances to the final.
In the final, Xiao Han faced off against Lin Yueyao.
The ultimate showdown between fire and ice, and also a clash between the two strongest members of the Spirit Realm group.
"Junior sister, please." Xiao Han cupped his hands in greeting, flames rising around him, his fighting spirit soaring.
"Senior brother, please." Lin Yueyao nodded slightly, her body radiating a chilling aura, enveloped in the soft moonlight.
clang.
As soon as the gong sounded, the two attacked simultaneously.
"Crimson Flame Burns the Heavens!"
"Cold Moon Fills the Sky!"
Flames and icy air collided in the center of the arena, producing a hissing sound, and a large amount of white steam rose up, enveloping the entire arena.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions continued to erupt, and amidst the steam, two figures crisscrossed each other.
The Fire Element Law Technique was incredibly violent, while the ice Law Technique was chilling and exquisite; the two fought to a standstill.
"I never expected Junior Sister Lin Yueyao to be able to fight Senior Brother Xiao for so long!"
"Yes, everyone used to think that our senior brother would win easily, but now it seems the outcome is uncertain."
The disciples in the stands watched intently.
From the main stands, Mo Xuan laughed, "Xiao Han's cultivation is high, and Lin Yueyao's Law Technique is exquisite; this match is going to be a long one."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly. "Xiao Han has a solid foundation and his advantage lies in his profound cultivation, while Lin Yueyao has extremely high comprehension and her advantage lies in her exquisite Law Technique. It remains to be seen who will reveal a weakness first."
On the arena, the battle had reached its climax.
Xiao Han was getting impatient as he couldn't break through Xiao Han's defenses.
He took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and flames gathered wildly around him, forming a huge lotus flower of fire above his head.
"A killer move! It's the Fire Lotus Technique!" someone exclaimed.
Lin Yueyao's expression also turned serious. She quickly formed hand seals, withdrawing all the cold energy and creating a huge ice mirror in front of her, covered with mysterious array patterns.
"Ice Mirror Reflection!"
"Go!"
The fiery lotus spun out, carrying an aura of world-destroying destruction, and crashed into the ice mirror.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion rang out, the entire arena trembled violently, and all the defensive array patterns lit up, shining brightly.
As the steam dissipated, everyone could see the scene on the arena.
Lin Yueyao's ice mirror was shattered, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her breathing was somewhat disordered.
Xiao Han stood opposite him, his breathing somewhat rapid, with an icy mark on his arm, clearly indicating that he had also suffered a minor injury.
This attack was evenly matched.
"Junior Sister is indeed formidable." Xiao Han took a deep breath, and flames erupted around him once more. "However, this isn't over yet!"
He moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of fire, and charged towards Lin Yueyao, intending to engage her in close combat.
Lin Yueyao remained calm and composed, her fingertips dancing with icy silk threads that seemed to entwine around Xiao Han as if they were alive.
At the same time, she changed her footwork, constantly retreating to increase the distance between herself and others.
The two fought for over a hundred more rounds.
Gradually, Lin Yueyao began to lose ground.
After all, her cultivation level was slightly weaker, and she couldn't match Xiao Han in a prolonged battle.
The Spiritual Qi energy within the body was greatly depleted, and the cold energy was gradually weakening.
"Let's end this!"
Xiao Han seized an opening and unleashed a punch, condensing flames into a fist that aimed directly at Lin Yueyao's face.
Lin Yueyao had nowhere to dodge. She gritted her teeth, gathered all the cold energy in her body into her palms, and met the attack head-on.
"Bang!"
With their palms clasped together, cold air and flames erupted simultaneously.
Lin Yueyao let out a muffled groan, flew backward, and landed heavily on the edge of the arena, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Xiao Han also took a few steps back, his breathing fluctuating, but he stood firmly.
"I lost." Lin Yueyao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said calmly.
The elder referee announced loudly, "Xiao Han the Spirit Realm Group final! He is the first place winner in the Spirit Realm Group!"
Enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the stands.
Xiao Han walked over and reached out to help Lin Yueyao up. "Junior Sister, you're too kind."
"Senior brother is very strong, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly." Lin Yueyao shook her head slightly.
Awards were then presented, with Li Yunjing presenting the prizes to the three individuals.
Xiao Han won first place and received rewards such as seven days of enlightenment and Low-Grade Spirit Treasure, which made him extremely excited.
Although Lu Qiuzhan only came in third place, he made a name for himself and received personal guidance from Ding Qifeng, from which he gained a great deal.
The Spirit Realm Group Competition has come to a successful conclusion.
Next up was the final Dao Mirror group competition.
This is the highest-level competition, with the fewest participants—only eight direct disciples, all of whom are at least at the Nascent Soul Realm stage.
They are the top figures of the younger generation of the Luozhen Sect, and the pillars of the sect's future.
The competition has only one main arena and uses a single-elimination system, with eight people drawn by lot to compete until a champion is determined.
The eight disciples each have their own strengths.
The eldest disciple Chu Jichuan, Nascent Soul Early Stage realm, possesses rudimentary ice-type Principle, has a calm personality, and is the strongest in combat, making him a top favorite to win the championship.
The second disciple, Jiang Sheng, Nascent Soul Early Stage. He is a body cultivator who has achieved sainthood in physical combat, making him invincible in close combat and possessing astonishing defensive capabilities.
The third disciple Shu Yining, Nascent Soul Early Stage realm. He has profound attainments in the art of the soul and is skilled in soul attacks, which are unpredictable and unpredictable.
The fourth disciple, Zhou Tong, is a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Nascent Soul Early Stage. He is a swordsman whose Qingyun Swordsmanship is unparalleled in its power and skill.
The other four disciples were all at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, each with their own lineage and considerable strength.
Nascent Soul Realm cultivators have already touched the threshold of the Principle, and every strike they strike carries the Power of Principle, far surpassing the power of Golden Core Stage cultivators.
The arena was also specially reinforced with a defensive array, with Fang Hexuan personally overseeing it to prevent the power from being too great and affecting the surrounding area.
In the first match, Chu Jichuan faced off against his seventh disciple Mo Feng.
Mo Feng cultivates wind-based Law Technique, possesses extremely fast Movement Method, and excels at surprise attacks.
But as soon as the match started, Chu Jichuan simply raised his hand and pointed, and the cold air spread, causing the temperature of the entire arena to plummet, as if the space itself had been frozen.
Mo Feng's speed slowed down instantly, and the power of wind Law Technique was greatly reduced in the cold air.
"Ice Soul Divine Light."
Chu Jichuan spoke calmly, and a pale blue divine light shot out.
Mo Feng's expression changed drastically. He desperately tried to dodge, but the divine light still grazed his shoulder, and half of his body was instantly frozen.
"I surrender!" Mo Feng shouted immediately.
One move, and the outcome was decided.
Chu Jichuan wins and advances to the semifinals.
In the second match, Jiang Sheng faced off against his sixth disciple, Liu Qing.
Liu Qing is a Wood Element cultivator, skilled in control and consumption.
But Jiang Sheng didn't waste time with him. He moved like a cannonball and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The wooden shield that Liu Qing hastily conjured shattered instantly, and he was blasted away by a punch, falling off the stage.
Jiang Sheng has advanced to the semi-finals.
In the third match, Shu Yining Wang Chong.
Wang Chong is a metal-element cultivator with extremely strong attack power.
As the match began, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly trembled and his eyes became dazed.
"A soul attack!" someone whispered.
In just three breaths, Wang Chong's eyes regained their clarity, but his face was pale. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Shu Yining and said, "Senior Sister is amazing, I lost."
No one saw how Shu Yining made her move; she shattered her opponent's soul defense without anyone noticing.
The eeriness of it is chilling.
Shu Yining won and advanced to the semifinals.
In the fourth match, Zhou Tong faced off against his eighth disciple Han Xue.
Han Xue is a water-based cultivator with extremely strong defense.
Zhou Tong's sword flashed like lightning, his Qingyun Swordsmanship layered upon layer, attacking like a tidal wave.
The clanging sounds were incessant. Han Xue's water curtain trembled continuously under the sharp Sword Qi. It only lasted for thirty moves before being shattered by a single sword strike.
Zhou Tong has advanced to the semi-finals.
