Although Hou Shaojie lost this match and was stopped at the top ten, his performance earned recognition from many sects.
Even without Lin Chang’sheng’s help, he would definitely have no trouble entering one of the top ten sects.
At this mont, quite a few sects were already reaching out to Hou Shaojie with olive branches.
However, Hou Shaojie rejected them all; he wanted to enter the sa sect as Lin Chang’sheng and cultivate together.
Now, both disciples from the Immortal Martial Hall and the Heaven-Suppressing Sect stepped forward, and the Immortal Palace disciples stopped waiting too. A disciple in white leaped onto the combat platform.
The disciple entering the combat platform was nad Wang Huisheng, with Middle Stage Void Refining cultivation. He had a clean, refined face and a gentle appearance.
But his strength could not be underestimated.
"Wang Huisheng of the Immortal Palace, challenging Luo Mountain from the Infinite Immortal Sect! Fellow Daoist, please grant your guidance!"
Wang Huisheng glanced over the crowd below, finally fixing his gaze on the disciple of the Infinite Immortal Sect.
The Infinite Immortal Sect disciple didn’t show any fear at all and leaped onto the combat platform as well.
As a disciple of one of the top ten forces in the Immortal Realm, Luo Mountain also wielded Middle Stage Void Refining cultivation—otherwise, he wouldn’t have made it this far through the rounds.
Luo Mountain was tall and burly; just looking at him, you could tell he packed power. Stepping onto the platform, he imdiately took out his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure Fiery Fla Spear.
Fiery flas and cold gleams flickered simultaneously atop the spear, proving its extraordinary might as a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure.
"Please!"
Luo Mountain swung his long spear and assud an attacking stance, his face showing no trace of fear.
Seeing this, how could Wang Huisheng possibly hold back?
He too called forth his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Heaven-Breaking Saber, a blade over four feet long with an edge as sharp as lightning, gleaming brilliantly white.
The two exchanged looks, and the air over the combat platform was instantly thick with tension.
Just as Wang Huisheng steadied himself, Luo Mountain took the initiative and launched his attack.
He swung his Fiery Fla Spear, thrusting one spear aura after another, all aid directly at Wang Huisheng.
Wang Huisheng didn’t dare act carelessly—though the other sect’s ranking wasn’t on par with the Immortal Palace, Luo Mountain’s cultivation could never be underestimated.
If he lost, it would be a great sha to their sect.
"Hah—!"
With a furious shout, Wang Huisheng swung his saber. As the blade aura burst forth, the whole space was swept by a roaring hurricane.
A massive blade aura slashed straight toward Luo Mountain.
Luo Mountain didn’t retreat; his spear aura swept upward, the spear’s radiance seeming as though it could pierce the very heavens, eting the descending blade head-on.
BOOM—
In the next instant, the blade aura and the fiery spear shadow collided, bursting out a deafening roar.
The entire space filled with searing flas.
If mortals were caught in those flas, they’d be reduced to ashes in an instant.
But cultivators possessed powerful bodies and primordial power to protect themselves, so they did not fear the flas.
When the fire faded, both n were seen sliding back several yards, showing that their first collision ended in a draw.
"This Luo Mountain from the Infinite Immortal Sect is sothing else! He’s actually matching a disciple from the Immortal Palace strike for strike!"
"Yeah! I don’t think there’s any telling who’ll win this one. If the Immortal Palace disciple loses, that’d be a huge embarrassnt!"
"It’s been years since the Immortal Palace had a peerless genius. They have no hope for the top spot this ti!"
"Right! I bet the Immortal Martial Hall takes first place again! Look at Yang Huaizhen—so calm and composed, it’s like he’s already won!"
...
When the surrounding sect elders saw this scene, they didn’t seem too optimistic about the Immortal Palace’s prospects.
Because among the Immortal Palace’s disciples, there wasn’t a single Late Stage Void Refining prodigy.
By contrast, the Immortal Martial Hall had a Late Stage Void Refining genius holding the fort.
"Heaven-Overcoming Strike!"
"Infinite Spear Aura!"
On the combat platform, both n knew their opponent wouldn’t be easy, so in the next instant, they each unleashed their strongest immortal techniques.
Wang Huisheng gathered all his primordial power into the blade aura, striking out with a thunderous slash.
In a flash, the sky dimd as a blade aura dozens of yards long ford in the air, crashing down towards Luo Mountain with the might of heaven and earth.
If not for the platform’s boundaries, the area covered by the blade would have been even wider.
Faced with Wang Huisheng’s killer move, Luo Mountain didn’t hold anything back. He brought forth the Infinite Immortal Sect’s strongest ultimate technique.
Luo Mountain spun his spear, conjuring shadow after shadow, each one soaring skyward. Those spear shadows gathered into one colossal spear aura, smashing straight toward the descending blade.
BOOM—
Again, the attacks clashed with mind-shaking force, the explosions echoing throughout the arena.
This ti, the clash once more ended in a deadlock, but both n had suffered backlash to so degree, streaks of blood appearing at their lips.
Luckily, the Immortal Palace disciple had a powerful cultivation technique, so his recovery was much quicker than the Infinite Immortal Sect’s disciple.
In a re instant, Wang Huisheng launched another fierce assault, catching Luo Mountain off guard and leaving him exhausted, scrambling to defend.
After a series of relentless attacks, Luo Mountain was forced to dodge again and again, his montum fading and defeat becoming inevitable.
After more than ten rounds, Luo Mountain slipped up for a mont and was kicked off the combat platform by Wang Huisheng, who secured victory.
"Looks like the Immortal Palace disciple really is the superior one!"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could they be ranked the third strongest force?"
"Exactly—the top three forces in the Immortal Realm are undeniable. The rest aren’t worth much."
The onlookers all voiced their opinions, making Hou Shaojie excited beyond asure.
Any of the top three sects would be amazing—joining any of them would bring glory to one’s family.
As Wang Huisheng stepped down in victory, Zhou Qibai from the Piaomiao Sect leapt up onto the platform.
