“Senior Brother…” Beside him, a man with a cold face, who merely standing still looked as sharp as a long blade out of its sheath, advised, “Senior Brother, I can also see the sharpness of her blade, and I can feel that this blade aligns with your Way of the Sword.
However, she has the Ancient Immortal Body…
She cannot cultivate further or break through, she can only remain at the Core Formation Stage.”
“Ancient Immortal Body…” The master of Famous Knife Peak fell silent for a moment.
Only then did the referee below finally speak up, “The victor, Zi Qianyu from Purple Feather Peak.”
Cao Zhen, not caring about the discussions of the people around him, carried Yan Yourong directly back to the area of Four Treasures Peak.
Lying in Cao Zhen’s arms, Yan Yourong looked at her own master, and after a long while, suddenly spoke, “Thank you, Master, for letting me fight with all my strength.”
Her voice was weak but filled with determination.
“Master, this battle has made my path clearer.
I can feel the gap between me and Zi Qianyu, but her blade was too flashy, her power dispersed.
If she concentrated all her power, she wouldn’t have been knocked out of the ring by me.
I’ve decided the path I want to follow from now on.”
“Since you’ve decided, then continue on this path.
For now, heal your wounds and watch your senior sister’s fight,” Cao Zhen said, holding Yan Yourong with one arm while gently patting her shoulder with the other.
While people were still immersed in the battle between Yan Yourong and Zi Qianyu, Ling Xi had already slowly stepped onto the stage.
Instantly, countless pairs of eyes landed on Ling Xi.
“This is the last disciple of Four Treasures Peak!”
“The leading disciple of Four Treasures Peak, the strongest disciple!”
“She’s going to challenge someone too.
Who will she challenge?”
“You’ve never seen Ling Xi in action, you can’t imagine how strong she is,” a disciple who had left Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace said with admiration to the people beside him.
“Although she only has an inner core, she might be unbeatable below the Golden Core stage, right?”
Upon hearing this, the people immediately expressed disbelief, “How is that possible?
An unbeatable inner core below Golden Core?”
“You people from this generation of Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace are too weak.
I’ve heard she’s the top among the Hidden Dragon Three Sons in this batch, but that’s only within your batch.
Just because no one in this batch of disciples from Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace is her match below Golden Core, doesn’t mean she is the strongest below Golden Core in the whole of Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“Who do you think she will challenge?
Another from Purple Feather Peak?”
Everyone couldn’t help but guess, while many Peak Masters frowned, fearing that Ling Xi would challenge their disciples.
More people, however, turned their gazes to the referee below.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the referee announced loudly, “Ling Xi of Four Treasures Peak challenges the 351st ranker, Wu Qie of Little Zen Peak, first level of Golden Core!”
As his words fell, countless exclamations arose around.
“What?
Did I hear that wrong?
She’s challenging a Golden Core?”
“This Ling Xi, like her junior brother and sister, has only condensed an inner core, right?
Challenging someone of the first level of Golden Core stage, isn’t that suicidal?”
“First level of Golden Core, even though it’s just one Golden Core, but it’s still a Golden Core.
The gap between Golden Core and inner core is too big.”
“Let’s put it this way, Xiang Ziyu is strong enough, right?
When Wu Ming fought with Xiang Ziyu, had he condensed a Golden Core, Xiang Ziyu wouldn’t have stood a chance.
No matter how strong Ling Xi is, how much stronger can she be than Xiang Ziyu?”
“To be honest, I think among those at the Core Formation with one core, Xiang Ziyu should be the strongest.
Even his senior sister Yan Yourong is only that strong because of the Divine Weapon.
Without the Grieving Anger Dragon Blade, Yan Yourong might not be Xiang Ziyu’s match.”
“That’s right, I think so too.
Xiang Ziyu’s defensive Divine Skills and physical strength are too horrifying.
My master even said that Xiang Ziyu’s defense and strength surpass the limits of his Cultivation Realm!
I haven’t seen Ling Xi fight, but I really don’t think she’s much stronger than Xiang Ziyu.”
“A Core Formation with one core challenging a Golden Core, this looks entirely like a desperate gamble.”
From above, Yuan Ci from Little Zen Peak suddenly laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, “Challenging Wu Qie?
People from Four Treasures Peak…
Forget it, go ahead, Wu Qie.”
Someone with only an inner core challenging someone in the Golden Core stage, why bother giving further instructions?
Wu Qie shook his head as well, leaped onto the ring, and facing the leading disciple from Four Treasures Peak, spread his sleeves and said, “Junior Sister, please.”
Although Four Treasures Peak had been continuously challenging Little Zen Peak, it was clear to everyone that Four Treasures Peak was deliberately targeting Little Zen Peak.
But since the opponent was just a Core Formation disciple, and a new one at that, if he became too aggressive or talked too harshly, it would appear ungentlemanly of him.
Even though Ling Xi resented people from Little Zen Peak for always speaking ill of her master, it was now the Hundred Peaks competition, and everyone was watching them.
As the leading disciple of Four Treasures Peak, and seeing that the opponent seemed courteous, she couldn’t appear to be too excessive.
She bowed to Wu Qie, then finally unleashed the perfect ten Phenomenon Dao Platforms, ten Phenomenon Immortal Bridges, and a Phenomenon Pill.
Afterward, she brought out the Unparalleled Formation Plate.
Wu Qie did not move, simply standing still, watching as the opponent demonstrated her fighting power and took out the Array Plate.
After all, he was a Golden Core being.
Had he struck before she made a move, even winning would lower the reputation of Little Zen Peak.
This was also why she chose to challenge him.
If the setting had been different, not the Hundred Peaks competition, if they were to climb into the ring together, others would say he was bullying the weak with his power.
The difference between Golden Core Stage and Core Formation Stage was just too vast.
In the last five Hundred Peaks competitions, there hadn’t been an instance of Core Formation challenging Golden Core, let alone Core Formation winning over Golden Core.
