Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"Bodhi Ice Sprout!"

The ice shards solidified into chunks, and Xie Weixing used the momentum to step on them in mid-air, turning around and swiftly kicking them towards the fireball.

Yu Xintang's eyes lit up.

Excellent footwork!

Xie Weixing shook his hands, which were almost charred, and snorted coldly. He pressed his thumbs and forefingers together to form a rhombus, flipped it halfway, hooked his forefingers together, and pressed his thumbs together. He then flipped his palms open, crossed his fingertips a few times to form a holy seal, and threw it at Nie Zhao without hesitation. He then stepped on the ground and retreated dozens of meters away.

"Senior sister," Xie Weixing said, her tone revealing a hint of gentle ambition, "Don't think that you've been the only one in seclusion for the past six months."

"Is that so?" Nie Zhao replied slowly, "Let me see what else you've hidden."

The Red Lotus Karma Lock is coming with overwhelming force, enough to make heaven and earth tremble.

Xie Weixing's face was a little pale, but he remained calm and slightly curled the corners of his lips.

Tibetan?

His behavior was so exaggerated that he seemed to want to go back to the modern era, pull out seven cell phones, shake them, and place them on the sword to show off his sword skills, yet none of them clicked.

If you're so cool, why wouldn't you show off?

The system guided him to the second volume of the "Holy Seal Spiritual Method," where the entire incantation was written in detail.

In the past six months, apart from practicing Azure Snow Cold Moon, he has devoted most of his time to this spiritual technique book.

The boy's pale amber eyes were like those of a wolf poised to strike. He closed his eyes, and as his hair fluttered in the wind, the aggressive look on his face vanished, replaced by a calm expression.

Nie Zhao frowned.

Even with half of her spiritual power sealed, she didn't believe that Xie Weixing, a Golden Core cultivator, could withstand her final attack, which she had poured all her power into.

This move would be difficult even for someone at the Nascent Soul stage to withstand.

Xie Weixing pressed his wrists together, his palms parted, and his slender fingers sliced ​​across his neck, drawing out thin strands of blood.

"Holy Seal Spiritual Technique, Fourth Form".

At that moment, he seemed to be separated from the world, his profile blurred in the strong airflow.

Feng Yu on the high platform frowned.

"Is this his Light Spiritual Root? What kind of technique is this, so domineering?"

Shen Chunri was a little excited: "He used this move in Qingmu Mountain too, right? I remember, he killed that Golden Core Realm late-stage deacon from the Flower God Sect in one move."

Tan Suiting narrowed his eyes slightly: "No."

This move is even stronger than the one before; it's clearly the final move.

"The power of light? He also has dual spiritual roots?"

"This is the first time in my life I've ever seen someone with a Light Spiritual Root. It's as rare as His Highness's Space Spiritual Root."

"This year's mentors are simply..."

His talent is astonishing.

Everyone stared intently at the boy on the high platform.

As if in response, the blazing sun that had been shining all day slowly disappeared into the gray-white mist.

Xie Weixing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the misty sky.

He slightly curled the corners of his lips and said calmly, "Senior sister, you're not the only genius."

[The kind of person Xie's father is the most shrewd. When it's his turn, he doesn't complain about exceeding the limit, he doesn't complain about the numbers, and he doesn't say it's luck.]

[Xie Weixing: Everything I have achieved is due to my exceptional talent, hard work, and relentless practice. I am absolutely the one who deserves to be called a genius.]

[How did OS manage to voice the Emperor's true feelings?]

[These kinds of people are the worst. After a fight, they don't say whether they won or lost, but instead claim they've figured it out.]

[Father Xie is not a bad person]

The scene was so bizarre that when everyone was jolted back to reality by a scream that almost pierced the sky, they were completely stunned.

"My feet! My feet are frozen!"

"What happened?"

"Isn't there a protective barrier? Why is the viewing platform still affected?!"

"Look! The sun's gone, no wonder it's so cold..."

"Didn't the sun shine all day? How come it's gone just like that?"

"What kind of move is that? How can it be so eerie?"

"A Golden Core cultivator can use a technique of this level? To change the world like that would require a Nascent Soul or Void Realm cultivator, right?"

Xie Weixing met Nie Zhao's shocked gaze in mid-air, gently pushed out a palm, and slowly uttered four words.

"Prajna Inquiry of the Spirit".

The fourth form of the Holy Seal Spiritual Method: Prajna Inquiry.

He used this move at the extreme limit of his physical strength; if even this couldn't win the match...

Then the loss is not unjust.

A flash of white light appeared, and the world instantly lost its color.

Yu Xintang covered her eyes and then covered Shen Chunri's eyes as well.

Tan Suiting frowned, closed his eyes, tilted his chin slightly, and backed away.

Holy crap!

[Who flashed into the observation room? Did they realize they flashed their teammates?]

[A tribute to Father Xie, who least likes to show off, least likes to be cool, and least likes to be an overpowered protagonist]

They're all so pretentious, aren't they? The names of their moves are all so cool and catchy!

[I don't understand, but I enjoyed watching it anyway. Feng Hua Sect's F5 is awesome!]

Everyone was blinded by the white light and turned their gazes to the side. After they recovered, they turned their attention back to the execution platform.

The aura dissipated, the white mist vanished, and a longsword, its entire body gleaming, stood in the center—

It is the Wind and Cloud Sword.

Feng Jilan made his move.

He held Xie Weixing, who had fainted due to exhaustion of spiritual energy, with one arm and sheathed his sword with the other.

He tilted his head slightly and said, "If it weren't for me, his move could have destroyed the Hall of Longevity."

"Ah Zhao," Feng Jilan said, "you lost."

Even as a powerful figure in the late stage of the Tai Xu Realm, he couldn't believe that he could see such powerful strength in a junior in the Golden Core Realm.

Feng Jilan looked up at the clouds on the platform where the killing was about to take place, but his expression was not visible in the light.

How far can these children go on their journey?

*

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? Was what happened yesterday really not a hallucination caused by my failed breakthrough and the flashback before my death?" Shen Chunri asked politely. "Senior Sister, did you lose?"

She still can't understand it.

She had been with the Feng Hua Sect since she started practicing Qi Refining, and had never seen Nie Zhao lose.

They can even win battles against opponents of higher levels in sect elections.

She beats herself as if it were child's play, and even Tan Suiting suffers under her.

Although half of the spiritual power was sealed...

But that's no reason why Xie Weixing should win!

A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator fought an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, neither dying nor being injured, only exhausting his spiritual energy, and still won?

This is too outrageous.

"It's not an illusion," Tan Suiting said calmly as he sipped his tea. "Because I won yesterday too."

Yu Xintang, who was standing next to her, was about to speak when she heard these words and her whole body trembled.

He raised his arm and bent it back, hiding his face in his elbow: "Okay, okay, you win, you win."

That's incredibly embarrassing.

He will not say another word until everyone has forgotten yesterday's competition.
