When Yun Cheng heard this, his face turned red. After all, being beaten down by a little girl in Lingxi realm would definitely become a black mark in his life.
"Cough cough cough, Sect Master, I'm fine. I was just careless. But this little girl is indeed very powerful." Yun Cheng coughed a few times and said quickly.
Seeing Yun Cheng so embarrassed, Yun Yun did not continue asking. She began to draw up a list. Their realms were written on the back of the list, so it was not difficult to figure out how to fight.
"No need to line up, just randomly select the duels according to their general realm. By the way, Aoxue doesn't need to participate. Her realm is much higher than these disciples, there's no way they can compare." Yun Yun gestured.
The other elders had basically no objection to this point. There was a huge gap between the peak of Linghe Realm and Lingxi Realm.
But the great elder suddenly said something.
"I think we can find an old disciple with a similar level to spar with Junior-Junior Brother Aoxue."
As soon as the Great Elder said this, Yun Yun became unhappy again. She didn't want Lin Aoxue to reveal more of her tricks, which would not be a good thing.
The other three elders did not object this time, because they also wanted to see whether Lin Aoxue's three years of practice had only resulted in realm but no combat power.
"Master, I think the Great Elder's idea is very good. Even if Junior-Junior Brother Aoxue loses, it is not shameful. After all, these old disciples have practiced for decades." The Second Elder Yunxiao said.
The other two elders also nodded. Since that was the case, Yun Yun had no reason to refuse, so she agreed with Yun Ling's opinion.
“In that case, let Aoxue go on stage in the first match, and then find someone with a similar level to her to go on stage to compete.” Yun Yun said.
Yun Cheng nodded, then returned to the stage with the list.
"Okay, let's start the first round of competition. First round, our direct disciple Lin Aoxue, please come on stage." Yun Cheng shouted.
When Lin Aoxue heard that she was the first one, she immediately became unhappy.
"Why am I the first one again? Is it intentional?" Lin Aoxue complained, but still flew onto the stage.
After she came on stage, Yun Cheng talked about Lin Aoxue's opponent again.
“As for Lin Aoxue’s opponent, given that there are no new disciples at the same level as her, after discussion between the sect master and the elders, we’ve chosen an old disciple to fight against her,” Yun Cheng announced.
After he said this, the old disciples immediately became interested.
"This is interesting. I also want to see if Senior Sister Lin really possesses the combat power of the peak of Linghe Realm. If you are at a similar level, you can try it out." An old disciple shouted.
However, there was no need for them to recommend themselves, as Yun Cheng immediately spotted an outer sect intermediate disciple with just a glance.
"Over there, it's you, get on stage and fight with Lin Aoxue." Yun Cheng shouted at a somewhat lazy young man.
Chapter 32 Easily Win
This lazy young man didn't react at first, until someone next to him pushed him, then he reacted.
"Duanmu, stop being dazed and go up quickly." someone shouted.
The young man was stunned, then looked at the people around him with a puzzled look, and also glanced at the arena. When he looked up, he found that Yun Cheng was looking straight at him.
"Ah? Me?" The young man named Duanmu stood up in great surprise.
"Yes, it's you. Come down, hurry up, don't waste time." Yun Cheng shouted again.
After hearing this, the young man had a sad face for a moment, flew over from the disciples' viewing seat, and landed on the stage with an unwilling look on his face.
"Deacon Yuncheng, can my disciple admit defeat?" The young man first gave Lin Aoxue an awkward smile, then asked Yuncheng seriously.
When Yun Cheng heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense. I just want you to have a sparring match with Lin Aoxue. If I don't ask you to go to the battlefield, I will tell you the rules first. You can't kill me. You have to stop when you are at the critical moment. I will stop you." Yun Cheng announced the rules and then left.
As they left the ring, they activated the protective formation on the ring. This was a safety measure to prevent their attacks from flying out of the ring and injuring other disciples.
The young man scratched his head speechlessly, then bowed politely to Lin Aoxue.
"Hey, um, Senior Sister Lin, nice to meet you. My name is Duanmu Xiaorong." The young man introduced himself.
Lin Aoxue was very serious at first, but when she heard this guy's name, she couldn't help wanting to laugh, but she didn't laugh. After all, it sounded weird for a grown man to be called Xiaorong.
When many disciples outside the venue heard his name, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Every time I hear this guy Duanmu's name, I want to laugh. Xiaorong, Xiaorong, I can't stand it. His parents are so shameless to give him such a girly name." A disciple who knew Duanmu started to tease.
Duanmu Xiaorong felt a little embarrassed when she heard the discussions about her name outside the venue.
"quiet!"
"You two, stop being in a daze and start now. There are still many people who need to go on stage later. Don't waste time."
Yun Cheng first asked the disciples outside the venue to be quiet, and then urged Lin Aoxue and Duanmu Xiaorong to start quickly.
Lin Aoxue didn't waste any time, but just when she was about to take action, Yun Yun's voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Aoxue, don't use your ability anymore." Yun Yun reminded.
Lin Aoxue, who was about to take action, froze after hearing this, because if she was not allowed to use her ability, then she could only use the Wind Sword Heart Technique.
Duanmu Xiaorong also took out a sword.
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry." Duanmu Xiaorong said this and took the initiative to attack.
A cultivator at the Linghe realm can release a small amount of spiritual power to generate more powerful power. He swung his sword, and a beam of white light shot towards Lin Aoxue across dozens of meters.
When Lin Aoxue saw the other party attack, her body instantly rose up and avoided the attack.
"Splitting Wind Spirit Sword." After Lin Aoxue flew into the air, he formed a sword gesture with his hands, and a light blue light emanated from the sword, followed by six sword shadows shot out continuously.
These six sword shadows seemed to have their own will, attacking Duanmu Xiaorong from six different directions.
"This? How come the first move is a top-grade Wheel Sea technique? Or six sword shadows?" Duanmu Xiaorong looked at the sword shadows coming from six directions and hurriedly tried to resist.
Under Lin Aoxue's urging, six green sword shadows continuously attacked Duanmu Xiaorong.
After Duanmu Xiaorong resisted for a while, he also used a powerful move.
"Swift Wind Sword Technique." Duanmu Xiaorong's body left a residual shadow and disappeared on the spot, avoiding the encirclement of Lin Aoxue's sword shadows. Then she jumped up and slashed at Lin Aoxue with a sword.
He wanted to interrupt Lin Aoxue's moves. When using the Spectral Wind Spirit Sword, he could not move. Once he moved, he had to cancel the moves.
When Lin Aoxue saw this guy attacking her, she immediately cut off her handprint and blocked Duanmu Xiaorong's attack with a sword in her backhand, but Duanmu Xiaorong's goal had been achieved.
But he underestimated Lin Aoxue. Suddenly, a strong wind burst out from Lin Aoxue's body, forcing Duanmu Xiaorong back in one breath.
"Damn, such a strong spiritual power impact, is this a joke? How can there be such strong spiritual power in Linghe Realm?" Duanmu Xiaorong was very puzzled.
The moment Duanmu Xiaorong was avoided, Lin Aoxue seized his weakness and threw the weapon in his hand out first.
Duanmu had no way to dodge and could only use one sword to open Lin Aoxue's sword. However, the moment he opened Lin Aoxue's sword, Lin Aoxue disappeared from Duanmu's sight and appeared behind Duanmu.
"Not good." After Duanmu realized that he had been hit, he immediately put up his spiritual power to defend himself and protect his body. However, even so, he had to withstand Lin Aoxue's attack.
"Floating Cloud Palm." A white mist emanated from Lin Aoxue's right hand, and the last palm strike landed on Duanmu's back. The next moment, the palm energy was like a cloud, carrying a strong thick mist that knocked Duanmu out.
"Puff!" Although Duanmu Xiaorong predicted Lin Aoxue's attack, the two were at the same level. Lin Aoxue's Floating Cloud Palm was also the top-grade skill of the Wheel of Sea. This palm was very powerful and broke Duanmu Xiaorong's defense and landed directly on him.
After Duanmu Xiaorong flew out, she crashed into the barrier of the formation, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"This?" The people outside were silent for a moment.
They all thought that Lin Aoxue had only been practicing for three years, and even if her realm had reached the peak of Linghe, she would definitely not have the combat power. Unexpectedly, she had quite a lot of combat experience.
In less than ten moves, she defeated an old disciple who had been practicing at the same level for decades. This is enough to show Lin Aoxue's fighting talent.
"Are you okay, kid?" Seeing this, Yun Cheng quickly flew onto the stage and checked on Duanmu Xiaorong who was lying on the ground.
Duanmu Xiaorong shook her head to indicate that everything was fine. Yun Cheng checked his injuries and made sure that it was nothing serious before announcing this.
"In the first match, Lin Aoxue won."
Afterwards, Duanmu Xiaorong, with the help of Yun Cheng, left the ring and returned to her spectator seat.
Lin Aoxue had shown mercy in that palm strike just now. She only used 70% of her strength. If she had used her full strength, Duanmu would have been seriously injured if not dead.
"Duanmu, are you okay? You lost so badly. Did you do it on purpose?" The disciple beside Duanmu asked with a puzzled look.
They knew Duanmu Xiaosheng. This guy was considered a master at the peak level of Linghe Realm, but he was defeated after only ten moves.
Duanmu Xiaorong took out a healing pill and swallowed it.
"Why don't you give it a try? Do you really think that it was just luck that Senior Sister Lin became the sect's direct disciple? I'm so unlucky. I shouldn't have come to watch the competition. I got beaten for nothing." Duanmu Xiaorong complained while healing her wounds.
After Lin Aoxue won, she also returned to Ye Liuyun.
"Hey, how about it, that's awesome, right?" Lin Aoxue said to Ye Liuyun with a smile.
"Not bad. However, you could at least make the other person lose gracefully. You hit him too hard. Aren't you afraid of being hated by others? Just stand there and don't move. I'll be back soon." Ye Liuyun said, and then walked towards the place where Duanmu Xiaorong was.
Lin Aoxue didn't know what Ye Liuyun was going to do, so she just stood there and watched.
Chapter 33 Using Pills
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Ye Liuyun walked to Duanmu Xiaorong.
The disciples around were all looking at the beauty walking past them with amazement.
"She's so beautiful. Hey, isn't this junior sister the girl next to Senior Sister Lin? Why is she here?" The eyes of these disciples involuntarily fell on Ye Liuyun's body and face.
"Excuse me, sorry, excuse me." Ye Liuyun felt a little embarrassed being stared at by so many people.
The gazes of these guys were indeed a little too hot, but compared to three years ago, her tolerance was much better and she was not particularly shy anymore.
Ye Liuyun quickly came in front of Duanmu Xiaorong.
"Senior brother? Hello, I am Ye Liuyu, Lin Aoxue's sister. Are you okay?" Ye Liuyun walked to Duanmu Xiaorong and took the initiative to greet her.
Duanmu Xiaorong saw a beautiful and gentle girl like a fairy coming to her and greeting her. For a moment, she was stunned by Ye Liuyun's appearance.
To be honest, you can’t find a single person in the entire Yunxia Sect who looks and has a better temperament than Ye Liuyun.
"Eh? It's okay, it's okay. Are you the junior sister next to Senior Sister Lin?" Duanmu didn't care about healing his wounds. He stood up suddenly and greeted her very embarrassedly.
"Well, senior brother, my sister has been practicing for too short a time and doesn't know how to use her strength appropriately. She could have used less strength just now. I apologize to you on her behalf." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
Duanmu Xiaorong was stunned. Such a beautiful girl apologized to him in public. She originally had some resentment in her heart, but now it seemed that most of it had disappeared.
"It's okay, it's okay. When you fight in the ring, you're bound to get hurt. Besides, I can see that Senior Sister Lin has already restrained her strength. If she uses the same trick she used against Deacon Yuncheng before, I'll definitely be defeated instantly." Duanmu Xiaorong still has self-knowledge.
Ye Liuyun nodded, then took out a small porcelain bottle containing elixir from his body.
"Even so, my sister still hurt you. I am an alchemist and have made some pills. This pill is an apology to my sister for hurting you. Please be sure to accept it. This pill will help your cultivation." Ye Liuyun handed the porcelain bottle to Duanmu Xiaorong.
Duanmu Xiaomo was stunned and wanted to refuse, but after seeing Ye Liuyun's sincere expression, he accepted it.
"Then, I'll be honored to refuse it." Duanmu Xiaorong took the pill.
After saying hello, Ye Liuyun turned around and left, returning to Lin Aoxue.
As soon as she came back, Lin Aoxue immediately glared at her.
"You are the one who gets to be the good guy, and I become the bad guy." Lin Aoxue complained in a low voice.
"You know nothing. Your identity has already attracted much attention in the Yunxia Sect, and you caused trouble today. The people in the sect will think that you are disrespectful to your teachers. Their impression of you will definitely be greatly reduced. This is not conducive to your status in the Yunxia Sect." Ye Liuyun said with a roll of his eyes.
Lin Aoxue really had no way to refute this statement, so she could only agree.
As for Duanmu Xiaorong, after watching Ye Liuyun return to Lin Aoxue, he looked at the pill in his hand with a silly smile.
"Duanmu, look at your behavior. Everyone has left, but you are still smiling like an idiot. Come and see what kind of elixir this junior sister has given you?" The disciple beside Duanmu urged.
"What the hell, let's go back and look again." Duanmu Xiaorong didn't open the bottle of medicine right away.
The main thing is that he did not take this bottle of medicine seriously. After all, it was just a compensation gift from a Lingxi Realm cultivator. How much could it be worth?
Ye Liuyun's behavior was seen by many people, especially Yun Yun on the podium. She was very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's behavior.
"Well, she's good. She is much more mature than Aoxue. With this girl by Aoxue's side, Aoxue will probably have less trouble in the future." Yun Yun sighed.
Looking at the arena, the competition is still going on, but Yun Cheng probably did it on purpose, and in the second match, he called out Ye Liuyun's name.
He probably wanted to see if Ye Liuyun was really capable. After all, the previous assessment was to stand and get beaten, which is definitely different from a real battle.
"Second round, novice disciple Ye Liuyu, novice disciple Chen Dong, please come on stage." Yun Cheng glanced at Ye Liuyu who was standing next to Lin Aoxue and announced.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he was also surprised.
"It's me who's in the second round? Are you kidding me? Is this steward doing this on purpose?" Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue exchanged glances.
Lin Aoxue shrugged her shoulders. It was obvious that it was intentional. Yun Cheng was thinking about the two of them.
Ye Liuyun could only helplessly go up to the stage again. His opponent was a disciple with very good aptitude among the new disciples. He had reached the late Lingxi realm and had been selected into the inner sect.
"Hello, senior brother. Please go easy on me later." Ye Liuyun greeted the other party as he came on stage.
