The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 194 Busy with Romance
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and the competition among the core disciples also lasted for two days. Many things happened during those two days.

First of all, it seems that after Kuang Tu advanced, when the core disciple competition opened this year, only Cheng Ye dared to go and challenge someone of a higher level.

Although Cheng Ye ultimately lost, he was still proud enough to have forced an eighth-level core disciple to use his ultimate move with his seventh-level cultivation.

Secondly, there is the diagram.

After Kuang Tu advanced to the core disciple level, his strength increased significantly once again. Perhaps due to overconfidence, he abandoned his original plan to challenge Ye Jin and instead chose a core disciple at the early stage of the ninth level of cultivation.

The result is beyond doubt.

Kuang Tu has lost!

However, Kuang Tu's performance was also unexpected. With his cultivation at the initial stage of the eighth level and his increasingly powerful physique, he was only defeated by one move.

Finally, there's Feng Ling...

Everyone originally thought that Feng Ling and Kuang Tu, both newly promoted core disciples, should be roughly equal in strength. In fact, even Kuang Tu himself believed that he had an 80% or higher chance of winning against Feng Ling.

But when the result came out, it shocked everyone. With both men fighting bare-handed, Kuang Tu's once-proud, powerful physique no longer held any advantage.

Only in the first round of head-to-head,

Then Feng Ling casually recounted...

Three tricks to solve it!

Subsequently, when facing numerous core disciples at the eighth and ninth levels, Feng Ling's brute force-based fighting style, which broke through techniques, shocked everyone present.

Only then did everyone realize that Feng Ling was also a freakish body cultivator. Even more formidable than Kuang Tu!
Immediately, the elder, who had "returned from recuperation," stood up from his seat with a slightly flickering gaze, and publicly declared that he would take Feng Ling as his disciple.

First, he publicly promised many benefits, but secretly he threatened and intimidated, saying: "As long as you join my sect, I will forgive and forget about Xue Wu's death!"

The Grand Elder's move was a masterful combination of pressure and persuasion. If it were any other core disciple without a powerful background, faced with such terrifying pressure, they would probably have simply swallowed their anger and submitted to him…

Unfortunately, the Grand Elder miscalculated this time. Who is he? He is Feng Ling! In his previous life, he was the God of Assassination, unyielding to both soft and hard tactics…

Feng Ling!

Just when all the elders and core disciples thought that Feng Ling would choose to go along with it and turn hostility into friendship, the purple-robed man's attitude was neither arrogant nor appreciative, and he publicly rejected the white-haired old man!
At this, many elders' eyes twitched, and they couldn't help but exclaim in horror, "This is really... the old man of longevity has hanged himself! The old man of longevity has hanged himself...!"

Almost all the elders felt that the man in purple had made an extremely unwise move by offending the white-haired old man so badly!

But Feng Ling himself didn't care at all. After the competition ended, he returned alone, and did so for two days in a row.

……

Achoo!

At an altitude of 500 meters on Qiaojian Peak, a cold wind howled, and the air around became increasingly frigid. A purple-clad man sitting cross-legged on the edge of the morning meditation platform suddenly coughed.

"In the afternoon, it will be Yuqing's match against a tenth-level core disciple. I wonder how well that girl is preparing?"

Feng Ling turned his head and murmured something while looking at an empty stone platform outside the cave. It was lunch break, and all the victorious core disciples had returned to prepare for the next round. The schedule for the core disciple competition was similar to that of the inner disciple competition, both being elimination rounds. However, since there were far fewer core disciples than inner disciples, the elimination process wasn't as brutal.

Furthermore, it must be said that core disciples are indeed superior to inner disciples.

As everyone knows, those who reach the eighth, ninth, or tenth level, although all are high-level Ghost Spirit Masters, will experience a significant boost in their strength with each step they take.

If an eighth-level peak expert were to face any tenth-level expert, they would be instantly killed!
Therefore, in response to this problem, the higher-ups of the Jade Purity Sect divided the core disciples into three levels, with each realm forming one level, and each level having a reward program for the top three in the same level.

The core disciple competition proceeded much faster than the inner sect competition. In just two short days, the top three eighth and ninth level experts were determined.

Kuang Tu is quite remarkable, ranking third on the eighth-level leaderboard immediately after breaking through; but what is truly astonishing is Ye Jin, who has always been "hanging out" among the inner disciples.

In the elders' minds, Ye Jin was one of the bottom dozen or so core disciples, but this time she refreshed everyone's perception with her peak eighth-level cultivation.

Not only did he easily take the joint championship in the eighth-tier rankings, but he also swept through the ranks to reach fourth place in the ninth-tier rankings.

Faced with this fact, Kuang Tu, who had just achieved excellent results, was completely stunned. Seeing that Ye Jin was just a little short of breaking through to the top three, all the core disciples of the ninth level secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If they really let the other side succeed, where would they put their face as ninth-level experts?!

Or it really is,
What you fear most is what happens...!
On the second day of the competition, the purple-clad man who was tied for the top spot on the eighth-rank leaderboard with Ye Jin also chose to challenge someone of a higher rank. In the end, he "broke through" to the ninth rank in the intense battle, thus winning the championship on the ninth-rank leaderboard!

This man in purple,

Naturally...

"Junior Brother Feng Ling, instead of reviewing your spells, you're just spacing out here? What's wrong? You've started to slack off now that you've won the Nine Revolutions Championship?"

Just as the man in purple was lost in memories of the battle, a sweet voice reached his ears. Immediately afterward, a figure in a flowing white dress flew down from a stone platform in the upper left corner.

At first glance, the other person's tone was cold, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of teasing in it.

"Senior sister is joking. I was just thinking about the gains and losses of the battle!" A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Feng Ling raised an eyebrow, stood up, and gave a smile to the white-clad woman who had stopped beside him.

Whether it was a coincidence when choosing a cave dwelling or not, Leng Ningshuang's cave dwelling, like Feng Ling and Feng Yuqing's, was located on the east side of Qiaojian Peak.

"With my junior brother's strength, why would he need to care about a few trivial battles that have taken place in the past few days?"

"Well……!?"

Seeing the purple-robed man shake his head and smile wryly in astonishment, Leng Ning Shuang immediately raised her eyebrows and stated her purpose directly, "Hehe, where is the youth-preserving pill you promised to refine for me?"

"Ahem...!" Upon hearing this, Feng Ling coughed awkwardly twice, her face immediately falling. She said very solemnly, "I hope Senior Sister can wait patiently for a few more days. I've been very busy lately!"

"Oh? Junior brother is probably secretly busy, going off to flirt, isn't he?" The aloof woman's words were neither warm nor cold, but there was a hint of something strange about them.

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
