Zhang Zhen gulped as he sat back in his chair, depressed. He did not dare to see how the frozen old lady Yuhuang's face was.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoling smiled. He did not smile at Zhang Zhen, but at Lin Ming. The challenge in this smile is obvious.
“I was too careless, too careless, I really looked down on a little girl. "Zhang Zhen shy. He was originally a very arrogant individual. Losing is one thing, but one that is missing is not only a year younger than her, but also a woman.
“My fire control technique is not good enough. If we were to compare martial arts, I might not lose to him. '' As Zhang Zhen thought back, he created a thin excuse to save whatever face he left behind.
Lin Ming smiled, not breaking the bubble. After all, the reason Zhang Zhen was in such dire straits was because of him. This Thundercrest Sect girl was clearly aiming at him. Without a doubt, he was someone who was at the direct disciple rank. Even though he was young, in the next two or three years, Zhou Xiaoling would most likely be someone on par with Princess Sunfire or Lightning. Zhang Zhen was certainly not his opponent.
As of now, there are seven games in total. Divine Phoenix Island had lost four and won three. Although they fell slightly behind, Divine Phoenix Island was still one against six. To get results like this is already very good. Of the eight sects that came, the Southern Region's Supreme Mystery Temple and the Dire Space Sect had yet to take action. They might care to keep their friendship because they share the same territory, and not try to challenge Divine Phoenix Island. If the South Sea Demon Region was ever restored with the same splendor to the level of Silent Demon Emperor City, then their days would not be much better. For them, it was better to give up on Divine Phoenix Island and accept their bottom line offer.
This time, in the seat of honor, the expression of old lady Yuhuang was not the slightest bit relieved or happy. He was well aware that no matter how pleasant or low he became, it was impossible to compensate for the greed of the Five Element Region sect. Those old bags would never accept any concessions.
So it is better to meet them directly. In the world of martial artists, there is a rule that applies – if one cannot convince them, then defeat them. Strength is the best bargaining chip. If Divine Phoenix Island could win a total victory with this skill comparison, then the other party would obviously be at a disadvantage at the negotiating table. This invisible momentum is very beneficial to any diplomacy.
But since old lady Yuhuang thought about the strength of Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing, she ended up somewhat hesitant. Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoling were strong; they would definitely have a chance to defeat one of the main disciples of the Five Element Region sect. But, to make the two of them fight continuously would put extreme pressure on them, and it would be very difficult for them to do so.
Of the seven great sects of the Five Element Region, the Silent Yang Wood Sect did not come to the birthday celebration due to mistakes in their younger generation. As for the Southern Region's Supreme Mystery Temple and the Dire Space Sect, they would not take action against them. Thus, Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing were two against six!
Other than Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing, there was also Lin Ming. Yuer highly recommended him based on his strength, so he should be able to show some skills. But, Lin Ming was inevitably too young, and his abilities were not enough for the challenges ahead. He was also quite young at the age of 16 or 17. To make him share the burden of Mu Dingshan and Mu Xiaoqing would be extremely difficult for him.
……
After Zhou Xiaoling left the stage, Zhan Yunjian sighed. These years, the Thundercrest Sect had become increasingly fierce. In a few years, even he might not be able to look down on her.
The Green Wood Sect has produced two generations of sustainable waste. As for the Thunderclap Sect, they produced two top second rank talents in Thunderclap and Zhou Xiaoling. The balance of the seven great sects of the Five Element Region became increasingly unstable.
As Zhan Yunjian was thinking, he noticed that Yan Phoenix Fuhong from Divine Phoenix Island was blinking his eyes from afar, showing him to move.
Zhan Yunjian shook his head, sighing. Yan Fuhong's jealousy and arrogance were too heavy on his soul. Such a person would never have great achievements.
As he thought about it, he turned to the junior-apprentice brother nearby and said, "Junhui, go and challenge Lin Ming. ”
"Hehe, you finally want me to move?" The young man named Ma Junhui twisted his neck, staring at Lin Ming like a wolf looking at his prey, a fanatical excitement appearing in his eyes.
If he managed to injure Lin Ming so that he needed one day to recover in bed, he would be given five middle-class true essence stones. If he injured Lin Ming so that he needed 20 days, then he would receive 100 middle-class true essence stones.
If he could damage Lin Ming's meridians and make it take him months to recover and delay his cultivation, he would receive 300 middle-grade true essence stones. The amount of this true essence stone was equal to the resources it received in an entire year.
As for how to do it in skill comparison, Ma Junhui did not take it too seriously. In junior fights, often one becomes too angry and injures the other. If he used his full strength, how could Lin Ming not be injured?
Moreover, there was a huge killing intent flooding the entire stage. The main characters of both sides were eager to slaughter the other party. As long as he didn't kill anyone, then a little blood was nothing!
"Will that fellow Yan keep his promise?" Ma Junhui asked as he broke his knuckles.
"He will . He had already given me 50 middle-class true essence stones as a deposit. ”
"Hehe, that's good. It just so happened that I lacked true essence stones for practice, and now someone had just given them to me. "Said Ma Junhui excitedly as he licked his lips.
“Do not underestimate him, the boy is not simple. For him to reach the Pulse Condensation period at the age of 16 years is already very good. Not only that, but Mu Qianyu thought highly of his strength. I'm afraid her talent might be on the same level as someone like Princess Sunfire, if not more. "Zhan Yunjian warned.
“Who cares how good his talent is. How can a late Pulse Condensation boy challenge my half-step Houtian cultivation? This boy had potential, however, he was too young and naive. "Said Ma Junhui as he jumped. With the help of his wind attribute true essence, he floated onto the stage.
“Storm Valley, Ma Junhui, 18 years old. I challenge all the heroes present! ”Ma Junhui said as she cupped her fists in her chest.
"Md. It was mostly lower or middle ranked core disciples who rose onto the stage. Now that Ma Junhui had taken to the stage, the level of the match had increased again. It can be difficult for us to find opportunities to demonstrate our skills. I wonder who made Ma Junhui so anxious that he jumped in too early to challenge them. ”
As the disciples of the Five Element Region muttered to themselves, Ma Junhui swept his gaze past the disciples of Divine Phoenix Island. He pointed to Lin Ming and said, "You're the one called Lin Ming right? Do you dare to face me? "
"What?" Zhang Zhen was the first to be shocked. This brat was too embarrassed, didn't he care about the face at all? An 18-year-old boy against a 16-year-old, and he really has the courage to open his big mouth?
The two-year gap didn't seem like much, but the truth was that for those talented youths, every day was precious.
Two years is enough to get a lot done. For example, Mu Qianyu had reached Pulse Condensation at 15, and it was considered a Saint level talent. However, if he was two years late and reached Pulse Condensation at 17, then he would not be considered much. It was something that ordinary students of the Seven Valleys could complete. But when Mu Qianyu was 16 years old, she had already stepped into the Houtian realm.
If Lin Ming was given two more years, breaking through to the Houtian realm would be simple; he might even be able to defeat a Xiantian master. It was not a level that could be compared to someone like Ma Junhui.
Therefore, in skill comparison, there are always between individuals of the same age. Even if there was a one-year difference, it would usually be a senior junior challenge. If the table is reversed, then this despicable act is really looked down upon by others.
"Lin Ming, there's no need to ride. This little punk might want to hurt you. "Zhang Zhen could feel a dark intent coming from Ma Junhui.
Old lady Yuhuang was silent. He turned to glance and Mu Qianyu and saw Mu Qianyu return a nod of her head to him, nor did she speak.
"Since this was the boy Yu'er thought highly of, if he couldn't even overcome the gap of just two years, he was no better than Xiaoqing or Dingshan. This old lady wants to see what surprise you have for me. ”
Ma Junhui ignored everyone around him who looked at him with disdain. He pointed at Lin Ming as before and shouted, "Son, do you dare?"
Lin Ming rose. "I didn't think that my name would actually reach the Five Elements Region; it was truly the highest award. Since you are challenging me, then I naturally have to accompany you. ”
As Lin Ming spoke, he directly walked into the square, ignoring Zhang Zhen's frantic frown.
"So he's Lin Ming. ”
"Md. He also lived in the Parasol Tree Pavilion. This is the first time I've seen him. I heard that he is 16 years old, and His Highness Qianyu appreciates him a lot. ”
"Then we'll see how strong he is. If he could deal with that Ma Junhui then he had some skills, but it was no shame if he lost both. ”
Lin Ming was only known to a few people from the Five Elements Region, but he was already famous throughout the entire Heavenly Phoenix Island. He was a talent that Mu Qianyu valued, and a talent that she personally recruited from the Seven Profound Valleys. Once he entered the sect, he was accepted into the Parasol Tree Pavilion. All of this was enough to make him the focus of the disciples of Divine Phoenix Island.

"Hehe, you think I heard your name in the Five Elements Region because of some noble deeds you accomplished? I only heard that you betrayed your sect and took yourself out to Divine Phoenix Island to become a core disciple. Am I right?"
Ma Junhui sneered, his words were extremely poisonous and dangerous. He deliberately tried to provoke Lin Ming, so it would be a completely justified act to injure him to the point that he needed to recuperate in bed.
"A humiliation!"
Ma Junhui's voice had just fallen when he heard a thunder-like sound burst in his ears. He immediately turned white, forcing a few steps back.
"Foolish boy, you dare to spread such senseless talk !?" Old lady Yuhuang slapped her right hand onto her chair, and a terrifying surge of energy flowed towards Ma Junhui. Ma Junhui only felt his entire body become ice-cold, as if he was a small ship about to capsize in the turbulent ocean endlessly.
Ma Junhui was very frightened. He did not think that with just a few words, Mu Yuhuang would not care about his status as a Revolving Core master and move against juniors.
But at this moment, a wave of wind rolled forward, protecting Ma Junhui's body, sweeping out that terrifying surge of energy. An old man dressed in black stood up and said, “Big Master Yuhuang, please calm down. Junhui, what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and apologize! "
Ma Junhui breathed a sigh of relief as the dangerous moment passed. This old lady is a really crazy old bag. He had just mocked Lin Ming, but did not curse him at all. How many days had Lin Ming been in the sect and how many times had he seen old lady Yuhuang, for her to move against him like this?
The truth was that Ma Junhui was too negligent. When he said that Lin Ming had expended himself, it was no different from slandering Mu Qianyu's lucid reputation. Mu Qianyu was Mu Yuhuang's most beloved disciple; how could she tolerate someone underestimating her?
Lin Ming glanced at Mu Qianyu whose expression did not look too good, and his eyes suddenly fell to a sub-zero temperature. He turned to Ma Junhui, his voice becoming silent and grim as he said, "You want to deliberately provoke me into anger so that I will participate in some small death match with you? All right, then I'll have to congratulate you. You have succeeded. ”
