  The one who was paired with He Changfeng was Lin Doudou, the granddaughter of Old Man Lin. This girl was actually Lin Zhantian's younger sister and had a cultivation that surpassed her older brother. She already possessed the strength to set foot in the initial stage of the Sixth Heaven of the Mortal Realm.

  The war is over, Lin Dudu used all her means, but ultimately failed to defeat He Changfeng and lost. Everything was reasonable, and Lin Dudu also showed her true skills. Although she was defeated, she still gained honor, after all, her opponent was the next successor of the sect's leader, who had already entered the inner library three times and was the first among the third-generation disciples.

  Another battle was taking place between Lin Zhan Tian and Qin Bu Yu, a direct disciple of the Great Elder Zhu Dong You. Qin Bu Yu was already in his late thirties, although his cultivation realm was higher than Lin Zhan Tian's, his innate talent was far inferior to Lin Zhan Tian's. After all, Lin Zhan Tian had reached the peak of the fifth heaven at the age of twenty.

  A fierce duel between the two, after all, the gap in their combat power was extremely small. Qin Bu Yu, who was at the initial stage of the Six Heavens Realm, had a slight advantage in terms of cultivation and strength, but Lin Zhan Tian's powerful divine abilities made up for it, resulting in a stalemate.

  The rest was up to the two of them, and after a fierce battle, Lin Zhan Tian finally managed to narrowly defeat Qin Bu Yu with his two ordinary-grade magic artifacts, causing Elder Lin on the high platform to burst out laughing.

  The top four were decided, and another round of drawing lots was held. Chu Linfeng couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw that his opponent was actually You Qinyunxiang. Just as Chu Linfeng was speechless, You Qinyunxiang almost immediately announced her withdrawal after the draw was completed, and at the end, she even threw a playful smile at Chu Linfeng, clearly not taking this internal competition seriously.

  As for Youqin Yun's actions, Chulinfeng naturally understood them. He didn't have too much guilt in his heart, after all, as the granddaughter of the sect leader, Youqin Yun already had a chance to enter the Cangjing Pavilion. The reward for the winner of the sect's grand competition was something that could be taken or left for her.

  "Still owe Xiaoyun a favor, this life really doesn't know if can repay this debt!"

  At the same time as he let out a sigh of emotion in his heart, Chu Linfeng couldn't help but think of the troubles that would plague him later on about whether or not he would continue to stay within the Xuan Yuan Sect.

  After experiencing the oppression of the past two years, and becoming a disciple of Zhao Lie, the Nine Underworlds Demon Emperor, Chu Linfeng realized that the justice he had known since childhood was not worth following. The strong are revered, and power determines everything, which is the true way. Even in the Daoist lineage that claims to be just, it's no different.

  The most crucial thing is that Chulinfeng has now made an irreconcilable and deep-seated grudge with the leader of the Daozong, Taichingzong. If he continues to stay in the Xuan Yuanzong, on the road to revenge in the future, he will definitely drag the Xuan Yuanzong into it together, and this consequence is absolutely not what Chulinfeng wants to see.

  Just as Chu Lianfeng was worried, He Changfeng and Lin Zhantian had already stepped into the arena, a battle that seemed to have no suspense in everyone's eyes began.

  But what shocked everyone was that the battle did not end quickly, Lin Zhan Tian with his fifth-stage Heavenly Reversal Realm strength actually managed to force He Chang Feng into a desperate situation with a single powerful blow of his divine technique.

  On the high platform, Tong Xuan Zhen Ren looked at Lin Zhang Lao with a hint of surprise and nodded slightly: "Zhan Tian, this child is exceptionally talented. With his cultivation at the fifth level of the Human Realm, he can already display the King-level divine technique 'Guanshi Liejin Dazhuan' that you, Lin Zhang Lao, are skilled in. Although he lost this battle, it's still an honor for him. In three years, during the sect's internal competition, Zhan Tian will surely be a contender among all."

  He glanced at the situation in the arena, and He Changfeng finally survived Lin Zhantian's final burst of energy. Lin Changlao smiled faintly and said: "When I taught this 'Guanshi Liejin Dazhuan' to Zhan Tian, I told him that this divine technique was not something he could perform with his current cultivation level. If he forced it, he would only have the power for one strike, and if he couldn't win, he had to give up immediately."

  "If it weren't for Changfeng obtaining the Pure Thunder Spirit Decision in the Zangjing Pavilion, Zhantian could have won with just this one move..." Tongxuan True Person heard this and seemed to be deep in thought.

  Indeed, as the conversation between Tongxuan Zhenren on the high platform and Lin Changsheng said, Lin Zhan Tian was defeated with one blow and conceded defeat very readily.

  Up to now, only Chu Lianfeng and He Changfeng are left in the A group. A showdown between the two seems inevitable.

  One is endowed with a mysterious and divine body, the first of the three generations of disciples from the previous dynasty.

  One is a physical body with wind and thunder spirit, now the first person among the three generations of disciples.

  A powerful and unmatched treasure, "Mystic Ice Tower", is invincible.

  A hard-won victory with the "Penetrating Stone and Splitting Gold Great Seal" technique.

  A strong match indeed.

  Chu Lianfeng watched the two duels that He Changfeng participated in, and also gained a deeper understanding of his strength. In his heart, he weighed the difference in strength between the two.

  "With him in a fight, I only have a 30% chance of winning..." This was the final judgment Chu Linfeng had arrived at.

  At this moment, Zhao Lie's figure reappeared in the depths of Chu Linfeng's purple mansion, his crazy attitude revealed: "That kid is indeed not weak, but how can my disciple not defeat him? Wanting to win is not a difficult thing..."

  Having the opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion of the Xuan Yuan Sect is extremely important for Chu Linfeng. He has just started his journey in refining equipment, and if he can obtain the insights on equipment refinement from the founder of the Xuan Yuan Sect, Xuan Yuan Zhenren, a great master of equipment refinement, it will undoubtedly bring him immense benefits and allow him to avoid many detours. This is something that even Zhao Lie cannot teach him, and Chu Linfeng has already weighed the pros and cons carefully.

  Previously, Chu Linfeng had a narrow victory against Xu Shengqi due to the latter's possession of the high-grade treasure "Xuanbing Tower", which forced Chu Linfeng to reveal almost all his trump cards. Now, facing He Changfeng, whose cultivation and strength surpass his own, Chu Linfeng's claim of having a 30% chance of winning is already a very confident statement.

  At this moment, Chu Lianfeng also couldn't help but feel a joy in his heart. He recalled that when they were testing their cultivation strength on the Crystal Tablet, Zhao Lie had already mentioned something about it. At that time, he didn't think much of it and didn't ask further questions. Now that it was brought up again, he immediately sent a mental message: "I wonder if Master has any clever plan?"

  "Tell me, do you want a fair fight or will you resort to any means necessary to win?" Zhao Lie's deep and magnetic voice echoed in Chu Linfeng's mind.

  As soon as Zhao Lie spoke, Chu Linfeng couldn't help but pause for a moment, after all, he had been instilled with many orthodox ideas since childhood, and although his views have changed now, he still attaches great importance to the word "fairness".

  Just as this thought arose, the gentle and kind face of his mother appeared in his mind, thinking of the disaster at home, his father's life or death unknown, his mother was imprisoned by the Taiqing Sect, and his only way to avenge himself was to become a famous alchemy master in the Xiuzhen world, otherwise, with his own strength alone, how could he talk about killing the Taiqing Sect and avenging his family.

  "I may not have three years to wait, this time I must get the opportunity to enter the Scripture Library of the sect, definitely!"

  Chu Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of youthful ferocity, before he firmly replied: "Master, I only ask for one victory."
