Xu Xin had won!

Who knew that Xu Xin, who had been at a disadvantage, would eventually win?!

Not only did the surrounding disciples not expect this, but even the deacons and elders on the spectator stands were shocked.

Before this, many of them had thought that the winner would definitely be the disciple from the Forging Hall.

After all, although Xu Xin’s cultivation level was not bad, her battle experience was too poor. Her moves and magic spells were very rusty, as if she had never fought with anyone before.

If not for her good equipment and pills, she would have been defeated long ago.

However, they did not expect that in the blink of an eye, as if Xu Xin had suddenly comprehended the Dao, the power of her techniques and moves would increase exponentially, nor did they expect that she would be able to defeat her opponent easily.

“Haha, look, whose disciple won, and whose disciple lost?”

Xu Xin had defeated her opponent and won.

Elder Hao’s previously bitter face immediately revealed a brilliant smile. His head snapped towards Elder Zhu from the Forging Hall.

Elder Zhu said indignantly, “Hmph, it’s just blind luck. If they were to really rely on their true capabilities, your disciple would have lost long ago.”

Elder Hao agreed, “Reasonable, reasonable. But my disciple won.”

Elder Zhu’s expression did not look too good. He was still unyielding, unwilling to lower his head. “Hmph, your disciple only won because she was lucky. If it was a life and death battle, she would have died long ago.”

Elder Hao continued to say with a face that was asking to be punched, “Reasonable, reasonable, but my disciple still won.”

“You! You!”

It was now extremely clear to Elder Zhu that Elder Hao was mocking him.

Elder Hao immediately gave chase and attacked fiercely, showing no intention of letting Elder Zhu off.

“What you you? You can’t even speak coherently? Now that my disciple was the one who ended up winning, don’t you remember what you said before?!”

“Isn’t it just a spirit tool? I’ll give it to you later!” Elder Zhu said with a pained expression. A spirit tool above the 12th layer of restrictions was not cheap. Having to give it away was painful.

However, he could not bring himself to regret it in front of everyone.

“Haha, that’s for the best. Elder Zhu is a man of his word and will definitely not go back on it. I believe in Elder Zhu’s character.”

Elder Hao had a smile on his face. This was another spirit tool that he had won for his disciple. It was really not bad. He hadn’t expected that his disciple, who had never had any actual combat experience, would actually have such talent. She actually had an epiphany on the stage.

This disciple had brought him yet another surprise. He had really taken in a good disciple.

Elder Hao could only feel a sense of exaltation, and his heart was extremely comfortable.

After a brief interlude, all the elders looked towards the stage below.

Not long after, the first day of the Skyfire Sect Tournament was already entering its final match!

At this moment, there was a sea of people surrounding a ring at the center.

Finally, there was a heavyweight battle.

Not only were there hundreds of inner sect disciples that gathered to watch the battle, even the Skyfire Sect’s sect master, Chi Tianfeng, and the nine first elders cast their gazes over.

The reason was none other than the fact that the person fighting in the ring was Lu Qingtian, who was currently ranked first in the Skyfire Sect’s inner sect!

Lu Qingtian was extremely talented. At only the age of 47, he had already stepped into the sixth layer of the Divine Sea. There were even rumors that he was about to step into the Divine Sea upper tier!

In the path of cultivation, one had to sail against the current. If one did not advance, one would retreat.

In this tournament, anyone below the Golden Bridge realm and below the age of 100 could participate.

As for Lu Qingtian, he wasn’t the youngest among all the participants, but he definitely had the highest cultivation base.

It was rumored that he had also awakened a divine ability and was believed to have heaven-bestowed talent. It was almost certain that he would advance to the Golden Bridge realm in the future.

He was ranked fifth on the Soaring Dragon Rankings and was also the only person from the Skyfire Sect in the top 10. He was fully deserving of his title as a paragon!

He stood on the stage, dressed in a dazzling black robe that accentuated his tall and slender figure. His long black hair fluttered in the wind, and his appearance was cold. His temperament was extraordinary, and his eyes were filled with superiority.

His opponent was Feng Changqing from the Law Enforcement Hall, the grandson of the Alchemy Hall’s Second Elder, Feng Ruhai.

Now that so many years had passed, Feng Changqing now had a fifth-layer Divine Sea cultivation.

This battle was between two dazzling disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Feng Changqing held a longsword in one hand and pointed it diagonally towards the sky. His moon-white magic robe fluttered in the wind as if he was a graceful prince from the mortal world.

He was indeed a level lower than Lu Qingtian. Although it was only the difference of a single layer, the difference in battle prowess would be far greater. Feng Changqing had no hope at all in this battle.

“Senior Brother Lu, please be lenient when we fight later, and save this junior brother some face. Don’t let Junior Brother lose too badly,” said Feng Changqing with a bitter smile while cupping his hands.

He had defeated many opponents along the way but hadn’t expected to meet Lu Qingtian in the last match.

If it wasn’t to save face, he would have quickly admitted defeat.

“Don’t worry, I will suppress my cultivation to the fifth layer of the Divine Sea. I won’t use my higher realm to suppress you,” Lu Qingtian said gently. His aura was then visibly restrained. He had suppressed his cultivation to the same level as Feng Changqing’s.

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Senior Brother, you’re so righteous. I’m going to attack now. I hope to learn from you!”

A sharp look flashed across Feng Changqing’s eyes. He instantly unsheathed his sword. A blue flame immediately wrapped around his long saber as it slashed at Lu Qingtian!

Sword beams flashed, and flames burned.

Rumble!

Between the heavens and the earth, the faint sound of endless waves could be heard!

Feng Changqing had actually managed to turn some of his fire-element power into charming water element.

“Senior Brother Feng Changqing, is he about to reach the state of water and fire fusion?

“Not yet, but he will soon!”

Below the stage, cries of surprise immediately rang out. Clearly, there were some disciples who understood the meaning behind Feng Changqing’s move.

“Hmm? This sword strike is so-so.”

Lu Qingtian raised his eyebrows as he extended his hand!

An ordinary-looking hand!

Then, he lightly threw a palm towards Feng Changqing.

Boom!

This palm strike caused the sky to change color!

First, there was the sound of waves crashing against the shore!

Immediately after, a blazing flame rushed out of Lu Qingtian’s palm. It seemed to have turned into a 100-meter-long river with surging waves of flame!

It swept towards Feng Changqing’s sword light!

Just this palm alone demonstrated the difference between the two!

One was close to reaching it, while the other, clearly, already possessed quite a high attainment.

Bang!!!

Instantly, Feng Changqing’s sword light was inundated by this long river of flames and was quickly swept away.

As for Feng Changqing himself, it was as if he had been struck by a great wave, instantly flying out and falling onto the arena floor.

Defeating the enemy with just one strike!

All of a sudden, the arena fell silent. Everyone looked at Lu Qingtian in shock.

Unexpectedly, after Lu Qingtian suppressed his cultivation to the same level as Feng Changqing’s, he still defeated him so easily, just like he had done so in previous matches.

With an expression that hadn’t changed, Lu Qingtian stood tall and looked at Feng Changqing, who had fallen outside the ring with a red face.

“I was too excited and didn’t hold back. I hope Junior Brother will forgive me.”
