Seeing the affectionate look between Ling Xiao and Lan Yu'er, Heisuo almost felt that everything in front of him was completely dark.
Even one of his inner disciples is like this, let alone those outer disciples.
Everyone was really gnashing their teeth and wished they could go over and change places with Ling Xiao right away.
"Sister, I'm coming over."
Ling Xiao turned around and said.
"Go ahead and be careful."
Lan Yu'er wanted to express her concern, but her words were still cold. She was probably used to this disguise and couldn't change it after a while.
Ling Xiao walked towards the challenge stage in the square.
This challenge platform is a specially made treasure that cannot be easily destroyed even by extraordinary warriors.
The strongest outer disciples are only half-step masters and have not reached the extraordinary realm. This is definitely very strong.
Standing on the challenge stage, Ling Xiao looked around. Yang Cheng and Li Anle had not come yet, but Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, Zhao Ci and others from the outer sect had all come.
In fact, everyone wants to challenge the prospective inner disciples.
Because in addition to the increase in salary, you will also have more time to practice. You don’t have to do heavy physical work, you only need to be responsible for management.
The higher the ranking, the greater the power and the higher the status. You don't even need to do management work. You only need to practice every day, and you can get much more generous rewards than other outer disciples.
By the way, the top ten outer sect disciples can also have their own caves, which are not only comfortable to live in, but also have abundant spiritual energy, making their cultivation more effective with half the effort.
Soon, Yang Cheng and Li Anle also arrived.
Even Elder Bai arrived.
Elder Bai will always be present for challenges related to the top ten outer sect disciples, which can be regarded as an expression of the sect's importance.
"Ling Xiao, please come down first. Yang Cheng will also accept two challenges today. Let him fight others first, and then you fight Li Anle. The fights should be staggered in between to make the challenges fair."
Elder Bai called Ling Xiao down from the challenge stage.
Ling Xiao glanced at Yang Cheng.
He can probably understand Yang Cheng's thoughts.
Ling Xiao dared to challenge two, but he, Yang Cheng, was the tenth ranked master in the outer sect, so why didn't he dare to challenge two?
"Starting now, Liu Qiang, ranked fifteenth in the outer sect, challenges Yang Cheng, ranked tenth in the outer sect!"
This is a battle between quasi-inner disciples.
One ranked fifteenth.
One ranked tenth.
Both of them are half-step masters and are very powerful.
It turns out that Liu Qiang once challenged Jin Ming, who was ranked third, but was completely defeated.
This time he took the opportunity and learned his lesson, so he chose Yang Cheng, who was at the bottom of the top ten.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Cheng is the weakest among the top ten. As long as he is defeated, he can get his own cave with much richer resources.
The first thirty are considered a level.
The top ten is another level.
Those who are ranked thirty or below want to be ranked thirty.
Those who are ranked within thirty hope to enter the top ten.
Seeing Liu Qiang, Yang Cheng just smiled slightly and said, "You come to challenge me if you can't beat Jin Ming. Do you really treat me as a weakling?"
"Wind and Rain Sword Technique!"
Yang Cheng's words fell to the ground, and he stabbed out with a sword. The sword light was as dense as wind and rain, and densely enveloped Liu Qiang.
Continuous and extremely terrifying.
Liu Qiang held the steel knife and tried his best to block Yang Cheng's attack with the blade repeatedly.
In the duel between the two half-step masters, the aftermath of the collision of breaths spread out and enveloped the crowd watching under the challenge stage.
Many outer sect disciples can feel their aura vibrating, as if their true energy is being forcibly extracted, which is extremely uncomfortable.
"Such a terrifying power doesn't belong to the extraordinary realm?"
"This is the half-step master. Although he has not been promoted to the extraordinary realm, the power of some martial arts is no less than that of a first-level warrior in the extraordinary realm!"
"Yes, this is obviously much more powerful than the ninth level peak martial artist!"
Among the people watching the battle in the audience, whether they were new outer disciples or some old outer disciples who planned to challenge the top thirty, they were all frightened by this shocking scene.
I have never seen a battle between half-step masters. Only after I have really seen it do I know that they are invincible.
The Yuehua Sect has been established for 100,000 years, and it is not unheard of to defeat a half-step master with the ninth level of martial arts cultivation, but it is definitely rare.
It is impossible for those who are in the late ninth level of martial arts to defeat Master Banbu. This has almost become the truth of the Yuehua Sect.
It is precisely because of this that when they heard that Ling Xiao actually wanted to challenge Li Anle and Yang Cheng with his eighth level of martial arts cultivation, they despised and laughed at Ling Xiao, feeling that Ling Xiao was too ignorant to know how high the sky was.
Even Hall Master Yang and Lan Yu'er didn't believe that Ling Xiao could do this.
On the challenge stage, although Liu Qiang and Yang Cheng were both half-step masters.
However, there is a big gap between half-step masters. Taking into account various factors including martial arts, true energy, combat skills, etc., Yang Cheng is too powerful.
Puff puff puff puff...
That seemingly innocuous sword move actually burst out with astonishing power in an instant.
Although poor Liu Qiang tried his best to defend himself, his body-protecting essence was still like tofu, riddled with holes and miserable.
Even his body was injured in many places, with small blood holes constantly spurting out blood.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly.
The Wind and Rain Sword Technique performed by Yang Cheng is only an entry-level gold-level martial arts, but it has reached the state of perfection, and its application is focused on it, almost reaching perfection.
In comparison, Liu Qiang is far behind.
This Yang Cheng has a reason to be arrogant.
After only ten moves, Liu Qiang didn't even have a chance to fight back. He was already covered in wounds and in a miserable state.
Fortunately, he was quite self-aware and immediately admitted defeat, thus avoiding further embarrassing himself.
"It's too strong. Is this Yang Cheng's strength? No wonder he is ranked in the top ten!"
"Yes, Liu Qiang is terrifying enough. It is said that he once defeated Li Anle with three moves, but now he was defeated by Yang Cheng in more than ten moves, and he was completely crushed."
"Can Ling Xiao withstand one attack?"
"Hey, I'm looking at you!"
Discussions arose one after another. After seeing Yang Cheng's strength, everyone who was not optimistic about Ling Xiao became even less optimistic about Ling Xiao.
Zhao Zhi frowned at this time. He had calculated that if he fought with Liu Qiang, he might not be able to withstand a single move, but such a powerful Liu Qiang actually lost so miserably.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't launch a challenge rashly. Otherwise, he, a prince, would be defeated in such an embarrassing manner, and he would be really shameless in the future.
"Compared to Yang Cheng, Ming Tian is nothing at all, at least in terms of strength."
This is Xu Ying's judgment.
Mingtian may have greater potential than Yang Cheng, but when Mingtian left Baiyun Province and went to Yuehua Sect, he was indeed far behind Yang Cheng.
Even Liu Qiang was much stronger than Ming Tian at that time.
