Chapter 60: A Fight Breaks Out!

  Lingfeng Hall

  The second grand council of the Jingying Hall after the challenge began.

  All the congenital masters, all the elders of each seat, the eight elite disciples, and two challenging Miaozi stood in a row in the center of the main hall.

  Tao Zuo's face turned iron-green with rage, his eyebrows furrowed in anger, this time he was truly furious.

  Lingfeng Hall's performance in this Elite Hall challenge can be said to be extremely tragic.

  All eight elite disciples encountered challenges in the first round, and after four rounds of challenges in a month, three of the eight elite disciples were defeated by the challengers.

  Eight elite disciples became five.

  And two challengers of Miaozi, four rounds of challenge in four games, all four times failed, basically lost the possibility of successful challenge.

  Such a record can be said to be the worst record of Lingfeng Hall in recent years.

  There are still two months of challenge period, and the five remaining people in Lingfeng Hall will have to suffer the crazy impact of the challengers from the whole institute. It is uncertain how many can remain in the end.

  Ten disciples of Lingyuan Hall stood in a row, each with a very solemn expression.

  Three fallen apprentices, Kong Leng, Xu Jie and Qin Jiao, were even more dispirited and depressed to the extreme. Although they still had a chance to challenge again, the difficulty of such a challenge undoubtedly increased exponentially.

  If they fail in their challenge, they will thoroughly lose the qualification of elite disciples.

  From heaven to hell, the path of immortality is dimmed, and it will also become a laughing stock for others. Such a blow can destroy all the confidence of young boys and girls.

  The whole conference hall was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

  Even Tian Xiaodan, who was usually lively and mischievous, had a tight face today.

  The four rounds of challenges were not easy for her either.

  Especially in the fourth match, she faced Zheng Shuang, an elite disciple of Shenjian Hall who had fallen from his horse. The two fought for over a hundred rounds before Tian Xiaodan narrowly won and barely maintained her position.

  Now imagine the scene of that war, she still has lingering fears.

  Among all the disciples, Yunfeng was the only one who remained calm.

  Yun Feng also encountered four challenges, but each time she easily defeated her opponents, showing extremely strong combat power.

  She practiced the offensive and defensive Taoist method, which was identical to that of her master Ou Shengmei, called "Tian Di Fa Xiang", with extremely beautiful attacks.

  It can be said that Yunfeng's performance became the only highlight of this Lingfu Hall.

  The top three disciples in the entire academy are currently "Feng" from Lihun Hall, Ye Fei from Shenjian Hall, and Sima Xianxian from Xiumu Hall.

  These three people are almost invincible in the South Sea Institute, and their cultivation is infinitely close to the Pre-Heaven.

  Such elite halls challenge, no one dares to challenge their dignity.

  Now everyone generally believes that Yunfeng should have the strength to challenge the three great disciples, and in the ranking of the top disciples in the entire institute, he can enter the top ten without any problem.

  ……

  "Yuan Zuo, Kong Leng, Xu Jie, and Qin Jiao, these three people. I suggest sending them to the back mountain for a surprise closed-door training session for half a month, with the three masters personally guiding them." said Elder Ou Shengmei of the Xingzuo in a deep voice.

  Xiu Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly as he looked around and asked, "Do you have any objections to the proposal made by Elder Ou?"

  Nobody speaks.

  "It's settled then!" Xiu Yuan's gaze flashed like lightning, sweeping over Kong Leng and the other two.

  The three of them couldn't even dare to meet the gaze of the great master, their eyes darting back and forth.

  "After a half-month retreat, I hope all the masters will lift their spirits. Now my hall has encountered its biggest crisis since its establishment. At this critical moment..."

  "Unfair!" Gao Rou suddenly stood up from his chair, his face cold and angry. "I think this time the Elite Hall challenge is targeting my Lingfu Hall on purpose. The disciples who challenged my Lingfu Hall are basically the best ones in this challenge, it's not fair!"

  Gao Rou's words were like a thunderclap, and the entire hall fell silent, with even the sound of a needle dropping audible.

  All the masters and disciples looked towards the Xiu Yuan Institute with piercing eyes.

  Obviously, Gao Rou's words have spoken out everyone's mind.

  This time starting from Jingying Hall's challenge, other halls are obviously suppressing Lingshu Hall.

  The first round of the challenge, the top eight seeded challengers in the entire institute surprisingly challenged Lingfeng Hall at the same time.

  In this one battle, Ling Fu Tang lost two men.

  Next, the various halls launched a crazy siege on Lingfu Hall, challenging it four times in one month. All eight elite disciples of Lingfu Hall went to battle, which was also the first time in the history of Lingfu Hall.

  He let out a faint sigh, and Xiuyuan felt extremely helpless.

  The decline of the Fu Dao, the entire Nanhai Temple did not have a single Fu repair who understood his Benming Fu, and there was no master of the Fu Dao who had entered the void. The Lingfu Hall was treated as a soft persimmon by people, taken for granted.

  The current predicament of Lingfeng Hall is a microcosm of the difficulties faced by the entire Daoist community.

  Every time the disciples of Nanhai Temple gather together, Xiu Yuan is always the laughing stock of others. The largest hall in the temple has fallen to this state...

  Xiu Yuan's expression turned gloomy, and the other innate masters and elders also lowered their heads one after another.

  He alone was calm and composed, stroking his goatee with his hand, a look of serenity on his face, as if everything that was happening now had nothing to do with him.

  "Seriously!" Ousenmei frowned, feeling very displeased in her heart.

  With a faint smile, Chong Ou Sheng Mei cupped his hands: "Senior brother, what is it? Are there any instructions?"

  Ou Shengmei's face turned blue with rage and she said, "Yan Jing, the Lingfu Hall has reached this state, don't you have any sorrow in your heart? You...you..."

  Ou Shengmei said "you" twice in a row, but then stopped speaking, flinging her sleeves and looking extremely annoyed.

  "My disciple has something to say!" Yunfeng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

  Yun Feng has a calm temperament and is naturally elegant. His speech and behavior are extremely dignified and refined.

  Moreover, this time she performed extremely well in the Elite Hall, especially in that battle with Fan Gang of the Refining Body Temple. Fan Gang's cultivation of the "Fierce Ox Refining Body Technique" was famous for its powerful momentum and boundless brute force, causing many cultivators in the South Sea Institute to fear him.

  But Yunfeng made his move, and the killing blow of "Tian Di Fa Xiang" directly suppressed it, winning cleanly and neatly. At that time, many of the onlooking Xiantian cultivators couldn't help but change color.

  "It doesn't matter what you say!" Xiu Yuan's expression eased, and he said with a warm smile.

  Yun Feng's eyes flickered, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the crowd before finally saying, "I recommend that my disciple, Zhu Yu, a disciple of Master Yan Jian, be our academy's recommended challenger!"

  "Ah..."

  The conference hall was in an uproar, with many of the venerable masters almost standing up.

  A group of elite disciples also turned their gaze towards Yunfeng, unable to conceal the look of shock on their faces.

  Yun Feng paused for a moment, then said: "Zhu Yu is a disciple of the Zhu family from Nanhai. At the end of the year, he stood out among the three generations of disciples in the Zhu family's grand competition and became the champion of the three generations of disciples. His cultivation has surpassed the Seventh Heaven of the Post-Heaven Realm, and he absolutely has the ability to challenge the Elite Hall!"

  "At this critical moment, the Lingfu Hall should unite as one. Since Zhu Yu has achieved such a level of cultivation, we should strongly recommend him. After all, the honor of the Lingfu Hall is above everything!"

  "Yunfeng Shijie, are you saying that Zhu Yu's cultivation is more formidable than ours? We are all authentic disciples who have passed the Elite Hall assessment. While we believe Zhu Yu has his strengths, he is after all just a black robe disciple. For the prestigious Lingfu Hall to recommend a black robe disciple to challenge the Elite Hall, isn't that just asking for ridicule?"

  Xu Jie, a disciple of Luoma, spoke out in anger, his words filled with uncontrollable rage.

  As soon as he spoke, Kong Ran, the disciple of Luoma, immediately echoed: "Right, what Xu said is very right. Zhu Yu indeed has extraordinary abilities, why not go to Jingying Hall to sign up for the challenge himself? Why does he need a recommendation from Lingfu Hall halfway through? Could it be that Zhu Yu doesn't have the heart to become an elite disciple? He didn't dare to sign up on his own initiative, which shows that he is not capable and lacks the courage to challenge Jingying Hall!"

  "Yunfeng, this recommendation is absurd!" Master Zhou Zhi stood up and said: "What kind of disciple is Zhuyu? A disciple who only knows how to mess around with low-level talismans all day, what kind of profound cultivation can he have? Moreover, Zhuyu himself is unlearned and mischievous, everyone knows that. Can we recommend such a disciple to the Elite Hall? Ridiculous, absurd!"

  "Hmph!" A cold snort came from Yan's mouth.

  He raised his goat-like whiskers, looking down at Zhou Zhi: "The Lingfu Hall has declined! Why has it declined? It's because of people like you who are frivolous and impatient. Look at the disciples in the hall now, which one of them has a solid foundation? Without a solid foundation, they're all just artificially inflated, only knowing how to put up a flashy front. Can they withstand the challenge of a strong opponent?"

  "Consolidate the foundation, advance step by step, neither arrogant nor impatient, this is the realm that a cultivator of the Tao should strive for."

  Yan Jian became more and more agitated as he spoke, finally jumping up with a flourish of his sleeves and staring fiercely at Zhou Zhi: "Zhou Zhi, my disciples are unlearned and untalented, completely useless! Bring out your own disciples for comparison? Humph, how dare you speak so loudly!"

  "Compare if compare, I..."

  "Lord Executioner, something's wrong! The...the...Clock Tower...Clock Tower Square is..."

  A disciple of the Criminal Department rushed in from outside, his face pale and shouting loudly at Oshinmei.

  "What's going on?" Ousenmei's face changed color and he stood up, saying angrily.

  "In Bell Tower Square, Lian Ti...Lian Ti Hall and our disciples had a fight..."
