Iron Head stood on the Magic Battle Platform and gave his opponent a proper, formal bow.
His opponent was a young man in his twenties with a rather sinister face.
Among the disciples of the sa generation, the younger ones were often the most unfathomable. After all, to reach the Middle Stage Qi Cultivation in the Five Talisman Scripture at such a young age, one had to be either exceptionally talented or from an extraordinary family.
The young man did not return the bow. Instead, he imdiately activated a Defensive Spiritual Artifact and began forming Magic Formulas. In an instant, green vines sprouted on the Magic Battle Platform, twisting like snakes as they coiled toward Iron Head.
Ren Xingzhou, who knew Iron Head’s identity, imdiately showed a worried expression.
Most newly-admitted disciples had a Cultivation at the Middle Stage Qi Cultivation, and their Divine Sense and Magical Power could only sustain the use of a single Magical Artifact. In such a situation, getting the first move was crucial. The disciple who could activate their artifact and cast their Magic first would usually gain the upper hand.
To his surprise, Iron Head’s small hand ford a Magic Formula, and he exhaled a sharp stream of Sword Qi. Though launched second, it struck first, effortlessly severing the approaching vines.
He ford another Magic Formula, unleashing one Golden Sword Qi Spell after another.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The blasting Sword Qi caused the opponent’s Protective Spirit Light to flicker relentlessly. After just a mont, it was already pushed to its limit.
Most disciples of the Five Elents True Spirit Sect were proficient in Five Elents Techniques. The disciple anxiously ford Magic Formulas, using an unpracticed Bing Fire Spell to summon clusters of scorching flas. He tried to use fire to overco tal and burn away the incoming Sword Qi, but the flas were pierced right through.
A few breaths later, the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator acting as the referee condensed an Earth Wall to block Iron Head’s Sword Qi.
"Yang Tietou wins!"
He fixed his gaze on Iron Head. ’To have mastered the simple Golden Sword Qi Spell to such a degree, able to cast it at will... that’s no simple feat at all.’
’This disciple has considerable talent in tal Elent Techniques.’
Iron Head bowed to his disheveled Senior Brother before stepping off the Magic Battle Platform.
"Master, I won!"
Yang Jing ruffled his hair.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Iron Head."
Yinjiao, holding Chi Yu, congratulated Iron Head. In his eyes, ninety-nine percent of these Outer Sect disciples were no match for his Senior Brother Iron Head.
Iron Head had also cultivated his True Yang Body to Qi Cultivation Perfection and had begun simultaneously training in the Five Elents Thunder Technique. Although his progress wasn’t as explosive as Yinjiao’s, it was still far beyond that of an ordinary disciple.
With True Yang Body Refining and Thunder Law Refining the Viscera, Iron Head’s physical strength was nearly on par with the Iron Armor General of old.
"Iron Head, I never expected you to be so proficient with the Golden Sword Qi Spell. You’ve really impressed ," Ren Xingzhou said, sowhat astonished.
"Thank you for the praise, Junior Martial Uncle Ren," Iron Head said very formally.
Seeing his adorable expression, Ren Xingzhou was utterly chard. He took out a few Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and pressed them into Iron Head’s hands.
"Senior Brother Yang, as long as you don’t run into one of the top experts in the Outer Sect during this competition, you should have no problem getting into the Inner Sect."
He said this after taking the opportunity to rub Iron Head’s cheek.
Yang Jing motioned for Iron Head to accept the Spirit Stones, then looked at Ren Xingzhou with so curiosity.
"Are there other experts in the Outer Sect?"
In his opinion, while he couldn’t rule out the possibility of soone biding their ti and accumulating power, it would still be difficult for anyone who had languished in the Outer Sect for years to withstand even two of his moves.
"Your Sword Technique is naturally invincible, Senior Brother Yang. But there’s a well-known disciple from the previous generation whose Innate Fire Spirit Root mutated into a Thunder-Fire Spiritual Root. Before he could even participate in the last Sect Competition, he was taken in as a disciple by a Foundation Establishnt Junior Martial Uncle for special training. This year, he’s announced he’ll be participating, and he’s practically guaranteed a spot as an Inner Sect Disciple."
In his spare ti from cultivation, Ren Xingzhou had used Yang Jing’s connections to get a position in the Household Affairs Hall. He had built up quite a network and was extrely well-inford about matters in the Outer Sect.
"Rumor has it that back when he was in A Class, no one could withstand a single move from him. His only missing accomplishnt is a record of defeating an Inner Sect Disciple."
A trace of interest sparked in Yang Jing.
Among the various types of Spirit Roots, the Thunder-Fire Spiritual Root was renowned for its sheer power in Magical Combat. Wielding Fire Elent True Thunder, its might far surpassed the Thunder Techniques of ordinary cultivators.
The Jade Token on Yinjiao’s waist began to glow.
"Master, it’s my turn."
"Be careful."
Yang Jing said this to him, not to be careful during the Magical Combat, of course, but to be careful not to injure his opponent and expose his true Power.
After forming the Flood Dragon Pearl, Yinjiao had to refine four bottles of Dragon Transformation Water every month. As a result, his progress in the Supre Nine Transformations of the Dragon Scripture was incredibly fast. In less than a year, he had reached the Fifth Layer Qi Cultivation and had even condensed six drops of Dragon Blood in his body.
He cultivated the Five Elents Thunder Technique on his own and had already achieved a state of Refined Skill. His Power was far beyond what an ordinary Fifth Layer Qi Cultivation disciple could compare to.
Seeing Ji Feng’s expectant expression, Yinjiao hesitated for a mont before handing Chi Yu to him.
Ji Feng possessed the Talent for Exorcism and Charm Binding. Although Chi Yu had already had part of its Demon Nature and ferocity purged with Yang Jing’s help, the mont it was in Ji Feng’s arms, it imdiately began to flap and struggle.
He could only dejectedly hand Chi Yu over to Iron Head.
Yinjiao bowed to Yang Jing, then leaped onto the Magic Battle Platform.
The mont Yinjiao appeared, a flock of female Outer Disciples imdiately sward the Magic Battle Platform, their chatter filling the air as they pushed aside the other unprepared Outer Disciples.
Yang Jing, Iron Head, Ji Feng, and Ren Xingzhou were pushed back a dozen steps by these frenzied girls.
Even Yang Jing hadn’t expected this. Due to Yinjiao’s exceptionally handso appearance and extraordinary bearing, he had caused the female disciples to squabble jealously ever since joining the Outer Sect. He even had a following among the female disciples of A Class.
Yinjiao looked at the sea of beautifully dressed female disciples below with a sense of helplessness, then bowed to his opponent.
"I ask for Senior Brother’s guidance."
His opponent was a rough-looking man with a thick beard. If not for the Five Elents True Spirit Sect’s age limit of twenty-five for new disciples, one would have mistaken him for a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing Yinjiao’s poised and exceptionally graceful bearing, the man’s face twisted with jealousy. With a great shout, he summoned a torrent of Ding Fire.
His mastery of Fire Elent Magic was far superior to that of Iron Head’s opponent.
The scorching flas released an astonishing heat, forcing the female disciples surrounding the Magic Battle Platform to cast protective Magic to keep their hair from being singed.
Yinjiao extended his right hand and ford a Magic Formula. The next instant, a bolt of lightning as black as ink roared out from his body.
"Ren Water Thunder Technique!"
The refereeing Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s pupils shrank. He recognized that bolt of lightning.
’I never thought a disciple in the Outer Sect had actually comprehended a Thunder Technique.’
The lightning shot out like a startled dragon. The raging Ding Fire was instantly dispersed by this True Thunder. Seeing the bolt of lightning rushing toward him, the man was nearly powerless to resist, frozen with terror.
The next instant, the surging True Thunder scattered into wisps of lightning and vanished without a trace.
"Senior Brother, you let win."
Yinjiao gave a bow and said casually.
