Wu Tian's Entrance

"Yaoguang Palace? Didn't this sect suddenly disappear over twenty years ago?"

Jiang Zhenqi looked puzzled, then glanced at Ding Hong, the Great Elder of the Cold Immortal Sect. "However, like the Cold Immortal Sect, Yaoguang Palace is entirely made up of women. This 'Proper but Evil' Sect is the same, so perhaps it really is Yaoguang Palace."

Jiang Sheng laughed from the side, "Isn't there a man among them?"

"Perhaps some unforeseen event occurred. Regardless, to be able to master two Earth-level cultivation methods at the same time, this woman has quite a bit of talent."

Wang Chi revealed a faint smile again.

Although Lin Bin was not bad, he was still a far cry from the true experts of their Spirit Hall.

If he showed anger just because Lin Bin lost, he would be too impatient.

However, after Xu Ningbing's battle, all the experts here would pay close attention to the Proper but Evil Sect.

...

"Xiao Mu, I did pretty well, right?"

After sitting down in her seat, Xu Ningbing finally relaxed completely.

"Of course, to be able to do this in your first battle is already very strong."

Xu Mu smiled at Xu Ningbing.

After all, someone possessing a level-ten destiny is indeed very formidable.

The cultivation methods initially given to Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo—they had only asked Xu Ningbing for guidance, but unexpectedly, Xu Ningbing mastered both methods herself.

"Sister Xu, you really are amazing. Deliberately using Cloud Step from a high place to draw their attention, thereby maximizing the effect of the Cloud Sleeve Frost skill—I didn't even react at first."

Meng Wanyue smiled from the side.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xu Ningbing's face.

...

The battles didn't stop for a single second because of Xu Ningbing; the competition continued.

Battles at the Divine Ability realm were indeed different from the Astral Qi realm.

The clashes between the two sides were much more spectacular to watch than those at the Astral Qi realm.

Especially the fights between disciples of the major sects; the sheer variety of cultivation methods and techniques was dazzling.

This was also the purpose of hosting the Martial Arts Championship—to serve as a deterrent.

They naturally knew that the footage of these battles would soon reach the hands of the alien races.

They wanted to let the alien races know that even after thousands of years, the Yanhuang descendants were still full of talents.

Finally, the first round of the Divine Ability realm competition came to an end.

The time consumed this round was several times longer than the Astral Qi battles.

This was because the Divine Ability realm not only had more participants, but their battles lasted longer.

Unlike Astral Qi, which mostly relied on comparing raw power stats.

But Divine Abilities offered room for tactical maneuvering. Even when facing someone stronger, one could still drag the fight out for a long time.

Jiang Huihui watched the battles before her and secretly glanced at Xu Mu.

If she hadn't met Xu Mu, she would also be fighting these people in the Divine Ability realm.

However, she had already reached the Grandmaster level.

[Favorability +10]

Sitting in the front row of the audience, Xu Mu took out his phone to check the time.

He found that it was already seven in the evening, but because they were inside a formation array, the sky remained bright.

The second round of the competition began.

The battles continued.

Xu Ningbing didn't go up first this time. It wasn't until the middle-to-late stages of the matches that Xu Ningbing was drawn again.

Her opponent this time was a disciple of the Shennong Cauldron sect.

The other party was a tall, rather thin-looking young man.

The others above the white clouds might not know, but the ones hoping the most for Xu Ningbing's victory were definitely the Strength Court and the Spirit Hall.

For those two, the stronger the Proper but Evil Sect was, the more justified their own losses would seem.

The match began.

Xu Ningbing gripped her daggers tightly and swiftly charged at the man opposite her.

Swish, swish, swish...

This time, Xu Ningbing had completely found her rhythm and was no longer as hesitant as before.

The man opposite her held a longsword, meeting Xu Ningbing head-on in combat.

However, the man kept holding back his strength, guarding against Xu Ningbing's Cloud Sleeve Frost.

But Xu Ningbing simply didn't use it. She kept closing the distance, applying all the close-combat techniques she had learned before.

She discovered that as the Qi flowed within her body, her movements became even more fluid.

Facing Xu Ningbing's rapid attacks, the opponent gradually failed to hold his ground and was eventually stabbed by her.

The Shennong Cauldron disciple felt terribly frustrated.

His feeling was like playing a video game where the opponent's ultimate move was very strong, so he had to save a skill to counter it.

Yet the opponent simply refused to use their ultimate, which caused him to be afraid of going all out.

Looking at the injuries on his body, he knew he couldn't go on like this and had to bring out his real skills.

He suddenly gripped his longsword tightly and thrust it forcefully into the ground, "Sword Shadow Flash!"

Hum!

A ray of light appeared on the longsword in his hand.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

A full dozen sword auras flew out from his body in all directions.

These sword auras shot front, back, left, and right, covering almost every direction.

Seeing this, Xu Ningbing, who was about to continue her close-quarters assault, immediately retreated.

But the sword auras were too fast; they caught up to Xu Ningbing in an instant.

She immediately raised her daggers to block, but found that the attack power of the sword auras far exceeded her strength.

Clearly, this move was no ordinary technique.

"Feng Peng is not bad. I didn't expect him to be able to execute an Earth-level cultivation method to this extent."

Above the white clouds, Pan Chenggong, the Sect Master of the Shennong Cauldron, revealed a smile.

If their Shennong Cauldron could defeat the Proper but Evil Sect, wouldn't that be equivalent to beating the Strength Court and the Spirit Hall?

The others around were also watching the battle below at this moment.

Especially Ning Kai and Wang Chi; in their hearts, they were both rooting for Xu Ningbing.

Down in the arena.

The sword auras pressed against Xu Ningbing's body, forcing her back continuously.

Swish!

Feng Peng suddenly flashed behind Xu Ningbing and thrust his sword out.

At the exact moment he thrust it, the longsword flashed with light again.

"I already guessed it. Facing this attack of mine, you'll definitely dodge, but no matter where you dodge, you'll be hit!"

Feng Peng executed the Earth-level cultivation method once more.

Another full dozen sword auras flashed out in all directions.

Crack!

Right at this moment, the longsword in Feng Peng's hand suddenly snapped, and even the flying sword auras were sliced cleanly in half.

Xu Ningbing didn't use any clones; right from the front, she shattered the sword auras and his longsword.

Her dagger thrust into his chest from the front.

Swish!

Suddenly, formation patterns appeared beneath Feng Peng's feet, and his figure immediately vanished from the spot, reappearing outside the arena.

This proved that the surrounding elders had intervened; they determined that if the battle continued, Feng Peng's life would be in danger.

The audience outside the arena gasped in shock; they had no idea what had just happened.

Just now, when facing those sword auras and the longsword, Xu Ningbing hadn't used her dagger.

But her other hand.

There was clearly nothing on it, yet it easily sliced through the sword auras and the longsword.

Above the white clouds.

Ding Hong, the Great Elder of the Cold Immortal Sect, stared at Xu Ningbing with a solemn expression. "Golden Pistil Silk Binding! Could this woman really be from Yaoguang Palace?"

As for Wang Chi and Ning Kai, they didn't care about Xu Ningbing's identity at all. What they cared about was that the Shennong Cauldron had also lost to the Proper but Evil Sect.

That was enough for them.

Pan Chenggong didn't mind in the slightest. He let out a loud laugh, "I didn't expect this woman's talent to be so strong, cultivating two Earth-level methods to such a degree."

The other experts around secretly cursed; this Pan Chenggong definitely wanted to poach someone again.

However, this woman was indeed incredibly strong, and her future was limitless.

...

The competition would not come to a halt just because of one spectacular match.

The second round of the tournament continued, as Xu Ningbing's appearance had already taken place in the later stages of the bracket.

The matches for the Divine Ability realm finally came to a close.

At last, the highly anticipated Grandmaster level began.

This realm represented the true foundation of the descendants of Yan and Huang. To be able to reach the Grandmaster level under the age restrictions meant that every single one of them was a dragon among men.

They were the very people relied upon to deter the foreign races.

The roster appeared.

Zheng Sha, Wu Tian.
