Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 407 Tianjiao
There is only one battle after the top 100 every day, but each battle eliminates half of the people.

Simple, yet efficient.

When Zhong Lin left the ring, Yu Shu, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him with resentment.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that. Or have you finally changed your taste?"

Zhong Lin looked at Yu Shu, who was dressed in men's clothes, speechlessly and complained.

"Tell me, how did you cultivate? We clearly condensed the Xuandan together, but I'm still stuck in the early stage of Xuandan, while you're already in the late stage of Xuandan." Yu Shu said viciously.

Zhong Lin straightened his clothes and said calmly, "I am a genius."

"..."

I really want to hit someone!
But then a feeling of helplessness came over me, because this scene could not be explained except by a genius.

She has always been called a genius, but at this moment she felt what true powerlessness was.

Seeing Yu Shu's frustrated expression, Zhong Lin laughed and said, "How's it going? Did you make it to the top 100?"

“There are too many geniuses.”

"Ok?"

"No."

"Hahaha."

Yu Shu glared at Zhong Lin and said dissatisfiedly, "That's enough! I came here to tell you the news. If you mock me again, I'll leave."

"Report?"

"Well, someone has been keeping an eye on you. I guess it won't be long before someone contacts you."

"Where did you get this sentence from?"

Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"Do you know about the Aotou Club?"

"never heard of that."

"Aotou is the so-called "one-man show". It is a group of outer disciples. They gather disciples with extraordinary qualifications from the outer sect and try to monopolize the top ten places in the competition through alliances, so as to obtain rewards and training from the sect." Yu Shu explained.

"Occupy? How? Do they dare to use any means offline?"

Although Yu Shu had never heard of the word "offline", she understood it easily with her intelligence.

"The term 'offline' is quite accurate. Don't worry, they won't dare use any tricks. The Outer Sect Competition is meant to select talents for the sect. If they ruin the sect's plans, even the true disciples won't be able to protect them. However, they can use some underhanded tactics within the rules, such as fighting someone to the death, forcibly injuring them and forcing them to be severely injured. Even if they win, they can't continue to participate in the competition."

Zhong Lin frowned, puzzled, "Are the members of the Aotou Society you're talking about so selfless? They'll hurt the enemy by a thousand and their own by eight hundred. If they do that, they won't even make it to the top ten."

"If they don't do this, they won't be able to make it into the top ten. In their words, they are 'pioneers for the king'. When the throne is established, they will naturally follow the dragon. Those disciples they push into the top ten will then find ways to collect resources for them and help them grow. In this way, they can become the new 'king' in the next outer sect competition." Yu Shu said with a grim expression.

This method is extremely disgusting, but the key is that it does not violate the sect's rules. After all, forming associations and guilds within the sect is a method of keeping each other warm. It's just that this group of people used it in the outer sect competition, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Zhong Lin also raised his eyebrows: "The rich help the poor, the founder of this Aotou Society is also a talent! I think it must be the work of a true disciple!"

"No, I heard from my ancestors that it was the work of a certain Saint Son."

The smile on Zhong Lin's face faded and his expression became serious.

The Holy Son. The strongest among the true disciples, the face of the sect, and the one that the sect focuses on cultivating.

There are five Holy Sons in the entire Heavenly Sword Holy Land. From the first to the fifth, they are not only extremely powerful, but their power far exceeds that of some elders.

The Aotou Society was actually the work of a certain Holy Son, which shows how profound his background is.

"Zhong Lin, you have now advanced to the top 50, and you must have caught their attention. I guess when you go back, someone will try to contact you. You have to deal with it well, otherwise the top 50 may be your limit." Yu Shu said worriedly.

Zhong Lin nodded expressionlessly: "Thank you for letting me know, I will pay attention to it."

Without staying for long, the two of them left, and Zhong Lin also got up and returned to Juying Peak.

Day two.

"Ring number nine, Zhong Lin, You Hao."

Today, the outer disciples' competition has entered its final stage, but it is also the most exciting stage.

The top fifty have been selected, and the next step is to eliminate half of them.

Anyone who can reach this point is a dragon among men, a true child of destiny.

The Heavenly Sword Holy Land is the ruler of the Sword Domain, gathering geniuses from hundreds of countries in the entire Sword Domain. Among them, those who emerge from hundreds of thousands of geniuses are geniuses among geniuses and can be called prides of heaven.

The twenty-five arenas on the hillside of Tianjian Peak were surrounded by spectators, who witnessed the birth of the top ten.

"I didn't expect Zhong Lin's opponent to be You Hao. With two tigers fighting each other, no one knows who will win in the end."

"I think it's Zhong Lin. Although I've never heard of him before, he's one of the brightest stars in this competition. He's in the late Xuandan realm, and he never uses a second move to defeat his opponent."

"Not only that, this man has already comprehended the sword's essence and is unparalleled in swordsmanship. However, from the beginning of the competition until now, no one has ever forced him to draw his sword. It is truly unimaginable how terrifying it would be if his sword were unsheathed."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that his natal weapon isn't a sword. Although he has comprehended the sword's essence, it's not made of a sword, so its power is naturally greatly reduced. You Hao, on the other hand, entered the Dao with the sword and comprehended the sword's essence. He's known as the Hero of the Sword. Who will win is still unknown."

"Yes, I'm more optimistic about You Hao. It's said that he has a natural talent for swordsmanship. He can learn any swordsmanship just by watching it once, and he can even innovate. To be honest, he should go to the Sword Realm. The Heavenly Sword Holy Land is really restricting his growth."

While everyone was talking, two figures flew onto the stage and looked at each other.

You Hao looked to be a young man in his twenties, wearing a black robe, with an upright posture, a resolute face as if it had been chiseled by a knife, a sturdy body that was very strong and powerful, and clean short hair.

Especially those eyes were extremely bright, making people dare not look directly at them, as if a heavenly sword was slashing down at them.

Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other quietly.

A breeze suddenly blew, and the next moment the two of them moved at the same time.

An invisible force rose from You Hao's body into the sky, stirring the air within a radius of thousands of feet, and the murderous sword energy spread silently.

"kill!"

A thunderous sound exploded, and before the sound faded, a dazzling blade light like a silk thread rose from the ground, pierced through the sky, and fell down heavily with the force of splitting rivers and seas.

This sword shines like the sun and the moon, blocks rivers and cuts off seas, it is extremely powerful.

Zhong Lin also snorted coldly, and punched out, with a powerful punch force suddenly bursting out.

boom!
The collision of fist and sword light suddenly caused a huge roar that resounded throughout the world. Layers of ripples spread out, turning all matter into powder wherever they passed.
