Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

The main force consists of people from the three major chambers of commerce.

Bihai, Jiuding, and Jinyu each sent several experts at the tenth level of Qi Refining to take turns showcasing their achievements and demonstrating the strength of the Chamber of Commerce.

After Lin You and Ye Xiaoxiao registered, they went straight to the arena.

In the first match, Ye Xiaoxiao faced off against a rogue cultivator.

The rogue cultivator, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, immediately unleashed a flying sword aimed straight for his throat.

Ye Xiaoxiao remained calm and composed, suspending the Fire Cauldron above her head.

In an instant, flames burst forth, filling the sky.

The sea of ​​fire took shape in the blink of an eye. Before the rogue cultivator could react, he was completely surrounded by the scorching flames and couldn't even fly away with his magical artifact.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the rogue cultivator was no match for the sea of ​​fire and had to admit defeat in a sorry state.

In the second match, Lin You faced off against someone from the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.

The opponent was at the tenth level of Qi Refining and was well-versed in earth-based defensive spells. As soon as he entered the fray, he stacked three layers of stone armor.

Lin You was too lazy to say anything more, and the Crimson Sun Sword Tower crashed down!

Like Mount Tai pressing down, it directly pins a person to the ground beneath the tower, rendering them unable to move.

Now, that person became a sitting duck.

Lin You unleashed his sword energy once more, countless sword energies forcefully piercing through the armor like a storm, shattering the stone armor into fragments.

The onlookers began to discuss it.

"Where did these two women come from?"

"I don't know, they look like they're from the Bihai Chamber of Commerce."

"What a neat move."

----

Over the next month, the two played over a hundred matches.

Ye Xiaoxiao became more and more proficient in using the Fire Separation Formation, and sometimes her opponents were trapped in the flames before they even got close.

When she encounters a tough opponent, she unfolds her Crimson Sun Wings, summons the Crimson Sun Dragon, and fights while flying, eventually wearing down her opponent.

Lin You is even more ruthless.

As soon as the Crimson Sun Sword Tower subdued her, her opponent's movements slowed down, and her sword energy attacked.

Twice she encountered fire-attribute cultivators, and she immediately opened her Fire Sword Lotus, swallowing their strongest attack, then transforming it into countless sword energies to instantly return it.

The people on the other side were dumbfounded.

Luo Yu also played more than ten matches, winning three and losing more than ten.

In one match, he was chased and attacked by a female cultivator from the Golden Jade Merchant Guild. He dodged around the arena several times, but was eventually blasted down by a spell.

He lay on the ground, looking at the sky, panting for a long time.

Lin You and Ye Xiaoxiao stood to the side, wanting to laugh but too embarrassed to do so.

"It's alright," Luo Yu said, getting up. "It's all about participation."

-----

Over the course of a month, the two of them had defeated all the Qi Refining cultivators in District 25.

Lin Zhao used to come and visit every day at first, but later she stopped coming as often.

He discovered that his worries were unnecessary.

In his eyes, the two girls were just "okay".

But to outsiders, they were simply monsters.

His magical power is several times that of cultivators of the same level, and he possesses a complete set of magical artifacts.

Their combat power is even more terrifying.

It can only be said that Lin Zhao underestimated his own status and strength. Although there was some gap between his cultivation level and that of a Core Formation cultivator,

However, his insight and skills were in no way inferior to those of a true Core Formation cultivator.

What kind of Core Formation cultivator would specifically train a few juniors just to compete in a few arenas? Normally, such a person would have already trained someone to Foundation Establishment.

Even if we take a step back, with such Qi Refining cultivators, and with dozens of districts in the Immortal City, the competitions are spread out, so it's not that easy to encounter one.

Even if they meet, it's really uncertain who will win and who will lose!

As for the tough nut to crack?

The other two chambers of commerce did indeed engage in some underhanded tactics.

We invited some top players from other regions to give them a boost.

Let's dampen their spirits.

As a result, those people fought for three days and were all utterly defeated.

Ye Xiaoxiao faced one of them and immediately set up the Fire Separation Formation, trapping the opponent firmly within the formation.

Immediately, the Crimson Sun Dragon coiled out, its blazing flames burning the sky for several hours.

The man tried his best but still couldn't break the formation, and in the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Lin You's battle was a bit more complicated, as her opponent was a water-attribute magic cultivator, who happened to be somewhat effective against her.

But Lin You had a plan in mind; she also had a complete Fire Separation Formation.

Once the magic array was activated, it frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, continuously supplying her with boundless energy.

She then activated the Karmic Fire Sword Lotus, transforming and amplifying the massive amount of energy into endless sword energy, bombarding relentlessly without any gaps.

The sword energy flowed continuously, forcefully piercing through the opponent's layers of defense and directly blasting him off the stage.

It's important to understand that the Karmic Fire Sword Lotus is essentially a sword technique; its primary function is to amplify the attack power of the sword energy, while its ability to reflect attacks is secondary.

If that cultivator hadn't been protected by a top-grade magic robe, he would probably have been seriously injured and collapsed, unable to even get up.

Lan Jingchi personally sent a message to Lin Zhao, his tone tinged with amusement: "Brother Lin, your two juniors have really embarrassed the three major chambers of commerce."

The other two chambers of commerce also asked, "How did you train him?"

Lin Zhao replied, "It's because they put in the effort; I just practiced casually."

Blue Thorn Pond...

They were no longer children; they had experienced several beast tides in the Yunxia Mountains and seen a lot of blood.

This kind of competition doesn't put much pressure on them.

With Lan Jingchi keeping an eye on things in District 25, even if the Chamber of Commerce makes some small moves, it will still be within the rules.

Lin Zhao went about her business.

Of the three major chambers of commerce, Bihai is the strongest, followed by Jinyu, and Jiuding is the weakest.

Since the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce couldn't defeat the Bihai Chamber of Commerce, they specifically targeted the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, demonstrating their bullying of the weak and fear of the strong.

The people from Jiuding didn't even make it into the top ten.

Finally, the two met in the final.

In the final match of District 25, Ye Xiaoxiao faced off against Lin You.

----

Lin Zhao did not go to see it.

It's not that we don't care, it's just that accidents are unlikely to happen.

Ye Xiaoxiao is indeed strong.

Once her Fire Array is deployed in the outside world, the entire area within a mile radius is under the array's control.

The Crimson Sun Dragon can attack, the Crimson Sun Wings can defend and escape, and the several powerful magical artifacts work together seamlessly, making it impossible for most Qi Refining cultivators to deal with her.

But Lin You is one of them.

Ever since Lin You comprehended the Karmic Fire Sword Lotus, Ye Xiaoxiao was destined to never win against her.

Although Ye Xiaoxiao possessed a fire-based magical artifact and had profound knowledge of formations, it was not enough to suppress Lin You.

Lin You also possessed a complete set of fire-repelling magical artifacts.

Although not as proficient as Ye Xiaoxiao, she was able to seize spiritual power at crucial moments and defend against the Crimson Sun Dragon's attacks, making her more than capable of protecting herself.

Ye Xiaoxiao's Fire Array and Crimson Sun Dragon attacks are mostly fire-attribute.

Why is Lin You's Karmic Fire Sword Lotus so adept at absorbing fire-attribute attacks?

This move was originally developed through constant practice and training between her and Ye Xiaoxiao, with Ye Xiaoxiao teaching her the moves.

No matter how agile Ye Xiaoxiao's Crimson Sun Wings are, Lin You has the Crimson Sun Sword Tower in her hands.

That sword tower combines suppression, defense, and support functions.

As the tower collapsed, the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred feet became chaotic and the flow of qi was obstructed, trapping the opponent beneath the tower.

More importantly, Lin You is a sword cultivator.

Sword cultivators' attacks are never based on reason.

If she seizes an opportunity, one sword strike can decide the outcome.

Ye Xiaoxiao knew these things better than anyone else.

On the morning of the final, she even told Lin You, "Treat me to a nice meal after the match."

Lin Youxiao: "Okay, the winner treats."

Neither of them took winning or losing too seriously.
