Zhang Xiaofan hadn't expected his fire poker to be so powerful, just as Lin Zhu had said, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After being knocked off the stage, Peng Chang spat out a mouthful of blood and was helped away by the disciples of Feng Hui Peak to heal his wounds.

The elder on the arena then announced that Zhang Xiaofan had won.

Lin Zhu then turned his attention to the arena.

Lu Xueqi became serious, her spiritual power surging as she dodged the entanglement of the Amber Crimson Silk. She seemingly narrowly grasped the Tianya Sword, but in reality, she was absolutely confident.

Tian Ling'er was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, while Lin Zhu was still watching from below the stage.

She became a little anxious, and didn't fully utilize the gentleness and entanglement of the Amber Vermilion Silk.

Lu Xueqi still did not draw the Tianya Sword. She simply used the scabbard to deflect the amber brocade, then lunged forward, the end of the scabbard stopping three inches away from Tian Ling'er's neck.

"Junior Sister Tian, ​​you flatter me."

"I lost."

Tian Ling'er looked somewhat dejected.

Lu Xueqi, however, remained quite calm.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu was still smiling gently, as if the outcome of the game was irrelevant to him.

Lu Xueqi nodded to him, then returned to the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak.

Tian Ling'er stepped off the stage and came to Lin Zhu's side. With her head down, she asked dejectedly, "Am I really useless?"

Lin Zhu shook his head and said gently, "Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation is naturally higher than yours, this is a normal result. Just keep working hard in the future, and remember that Heaven rewards diligence."

"What a wonderful saying, 'Heaven rewards diligence!'"

Dao Xuan stood up, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt it was true; these four words were in harmony with the Way of Heaven.

Of course, this only applies to smart people.

Although Zhang Xiaofan was dull-witted, his ability to grasp the basics of Taiji Xuanqing Dao was one in ten thousand, perhaps even one in a hundred thousand, or one in a million.

It's important to know that not everyone can cultivate immortality.

Wu Xingyun curled his lip. 'What's so surprising about that? Isn't it from the *I Ching*? It also says things like "after adversity comes prosperity," "self-improvement," and "great virtue carries all things!"'

Encouraged by Lin Zhu, Tian Ling'er looked up at him and said, "Then I will definitely work hard in my cultivation from now on. There are still sixty years to go!"

Lin Zhu smiled and nodded to Tian Ling'er.

But what he didn't say was that sixty years from now, the gap between you will only widen.

Putting aside the Heavenly Book, Lu Xueqi is the number one among the new generation of disciples of Qingyun Sect.

If nothing unexpected happens in the future, I will definitely be able to enter the Taiqing Realm.

Tian Ling'er is roughly at the same level as Tian Buyi and Su Ru. If she wants to enter the Taiqing Realm, she still needs an opportunity.

Not everyone can ascend to immortality.

Lu Xueqi, with her sharp ears and eyes, heard Tian Ling'er's words, but still didn't take them seriously.

The top eight have been decided: two from Xiaozhu Peak, two from Dazhu Peak, two from Longshou Peak, and one each from Luoxia Peak and Chaoyang Peak.

Tomorrow's matches happen to be Dazhu Peak vs. Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak vs. Xiaozhu Peak, and Longshou Peak vs. Longshou Peak—an incredible coincidence.

After anticipating this situation, Tian Buyi laughed heartily. He never expected that one of their disciples from Dazhu Peak would make it into the top four.

Whether it's Zhang Xiaofan or Song Daren, he'll be happy no matter who wins.

Cangsong is here again, "You're this happy about just reaching the semi-finals!"

Tian Buyi was somewhat angry this time. "Cangsong, didn't you want to fight me?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Cangsong also had a fiery temper.

"Junior brothers, please calm down. It's just a quarrel. If you want to fight, you can do it after the martial arts session."

Dao Xuan tried to mediate, and the two temporarily suppressed their anger, but decided that they would have to fight sooner or later.

Then they just stared at each other.

Watching this, Wu Xingyun shook his head inwardly. With Dao Xuan around, these two wouldn't be able to fight!

Otherwise, there would be a small fight every three days and a big fight every half month.

Tonight is still a full moon, and the power of the moon remains abundant.

Lin Zhu remained seated by the Green Pool, absorbing the Yin energy alongside the Spirit Lord.

He absorbed the Yin energy with his body, and although the amount of Yin energy that entered his body was only one-tenth of that of the Spirit Venerable, it still greatly surprised the Spirit Venerable.

Not to mention that Lin Zhu is in human form, his cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage, which is three major realms away from the Spirit Venerable realm.

However, absorbing more Yin energy is not necessarily better; too much of it can be harmful to one's very source.

But looking at Lin Zhu now, he seems to be handling things with ease.

It can only be described as monstrous.

This is Lin Zhu's cultivation speed after adapting to the power. It means that the power of the sun is too scorching for him to absorb temporarily; otherwise, he would not have let the power of the sun go to waste.

But to truly absorb the power of the sun, one must ascend to immortality and have a strong foundation.

Otherwise, even ordinary celestial beings, or even golden immortals, cannot touch the power of the sun in the slightest.

Otherwise, the power of the sun will accumulate in the body and form true solar fire, which will burn the body and the primordial spirit to ashes, which is extremely terrifying.

Lin Zhu said she couldn't do something as reckless as courting death.

Another night was spent in cultivation.

Wu Xingyun also came to observe. She tried it out and her primordial spirit was almost frozen.

But after a while, I felt much better.

At the same time, she also felt that the power of Taiyin had also benefited her, especially the pure Yang purple energy early the next morning, which made her primordial spirit Yin and Yang harmonize, further enhancing her cultivation.

Because her body hadn't been tempered like Lin Zhu's, the influence of the Yin energy was greater on her, preventing her from acting recklessly.

Chapter 426 A Flash of Inspiration

The martial arts competition continued on the fourth day.

In the morning, Zhang Xiaofan will face Song Daren, and Lu Xueqi will face Wen Min.

Wen Min was no match for Lu Xueqi. After several rounds of fighting, she conceded defeat, allowing Lu Xueqi to enter the semi-finals in top form.

But on Dazhu Peak, seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was willing to yield, Song Daren said, "Xiaofan, show us your strongest strength. We agreed on this last night."

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly looked up, stared at Song Daren for a while, and then said with a smile, "Okay, Senior Brother."

"That's how it should be! Go, Senior Brother! Go, Xiao Fan!"

Tian Ling'er cheered loudly for the two of them from below, clearly no longer taking yesterday's defeat to heart.

Song Daren brandished the Ten Tiger Swords, and Zhang Xiaofan raised the Soul-Devouring Staff.

The sword strike was like a tiger unleashed from its cage, its aura heavy yet sharp.

Song Daren's move caught Zhang Xiaofan off guard, leaving him with no choice but to swing his bat to defend.

He was sent flying backwards, about to be knocked off the stage.

I should have dodged it.

Song Daren stomped his feet on the ground, pushed off forcefully, and pounced on Zhang Xiaofan in the air again, slashing horizontally with the Ten Tigers Sword in his hand.

The roar of the tiger is awe-inspiring.

Zhang Xiaofan calmed down at this moment, his heart as clear as ice, unfazed even if the sky were to fall.

Faced with this attack, the attacker, while in mid-air, used an incredible method to overcome the strong with the weak.

Taiji Xuanqing Dao condensed a Taiji diagram in front of him.

The true meaning of the fierce tiger collides with the true meaning of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Zhang Xiaofan caught the attack without getting hurt.

But this was a ring match, and he was knocked off the ring and landed on the ground.

In the air, Dao Xuan, Tian Buyi, Cangsong, Shuiyue, Zeng Shuchang and the others all stood up.

"How...how is this possible?"

Now it was Cangsong's turn to feel resentful.

Tian Buyi was only stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Lin is right, my seventh son is indeed just like me, a person of inner talent."

After comprehending the true meaning of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Zhang Xiaofan will definitely have no problem breaking through to the Shangqing Realm in the future.

Dao Xuan was somewhat envious of Tian Buyi at this moment. After all, even Xiao Yicai had failed to comprehend the true meaning of Taiji in Taiji Xuanqing Dao. Otherwise, he would have reached Shangqing Realm long ago instead of remaining at the peak of Yuqing Realm.

Below the arena, Zhang Xiaofan was stunned; he didn't know how he had managed to use that move.

He simply recited the Ice Heart Mantra in his heart, and then felt that the spiritual power of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao within his body contained a power that encompassed all things.

Just as he was doing his best to defend against Song Daren's attack, the spiritual power of the Great Brahma Prajna was about to burst out of his body.

In his haste, he unleashed the profound power of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, resulting in his current state.

A Tai Chi diagram appeared before him as the Soul-Devouring Staff spun, blocking Song Daren's attack.

Although he has lost to Song Daren, it seems he has won a less tragic life.

In the distance, Qi Hao's gaze sharpened. He could sense that this power was extraordinary, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Lu Xueqi, who had already defeated Wen Min, also looked over, 'I didn't expect him to have reached this level.'

"Senior Brother won just like that?" Tian Ling'er looked up at Lin Zhu. "But I feel that Xiao Fan is also very powerful. It seems that you have given them guidance."

Lin Zhu smiled and nodded, then said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is a little flustered. If it weren't for the arena battle, he wouldn't have lost."

If it were a life-or-death battle, Song Daren would die.

Facing Song Daren, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't muster any anger. This was his beloved senior brother, who had taken meticulous care of him since childhood.
