Chapter 9: Fang Li's name resounded throughout the Cloud Soaring Sect!

Yun Zhongzi frowned, his gaze fixed thoughtfully on Fang Li.

The fact that Fang Li was able to defeat an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect at the peak of the third level of the Soul Palace Realm indicates that Fang Li's cultivation level was not the Spirit Sea Realm, but rather the third level or higher of the Soul Palace Realm.

I wonder how many pills that little brat Gu Xuan fed Fang Li.

What a waste!

The resources left by my junior brother will be squandered sooner or later!

Yun Zhongzi sighed, suddenly feeling a bit irritable.

He shifted his gaze to the disciples in other competitions, who, though not as invincible as Fang Li, were still formidable.

But he performed quite well overall, far exceeding his expectations.

He demonstrated exceptional strength in numerous sparring sessions with disciples from the five major sects.

For example, the elite inner disciples from various peaks such as Sword Peak, Martial Arts Peak, Misty Peak, Blade Peak, and Body Refining Peak had calm and composed expressions, and their eyes revealed a sense of confidence and determination.

Every movement was precise and flawless, demonstrating superb martial arts skills.

Their movements were effortless and agile, like flowing water, and every move they made exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe.

With absolute strength and talent, he defeated the elite disciples of the five major sects.

The direct disciples did not disappoint him either, defeating the direct disciples of the Vajra Sect and the Pill Sect in succession.

However, they were evenly matched with the direct disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Blood Moon Sect, and Illusionary Spirit Pavilion. In fact, two of their direct disciples from the Cloud Soaring Sect were defeated by Ye Qingyun, the number one direct disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

With a cultivation level at the half-step Great Power Realm, he is more than capable of standing out from the crowd!

The disciples of the Blood Moon Sect and the Illusionary Spirit Pavilion are more difficult to deal with. The former mainly focuses on refining the body with qi and blood, and the more wounds they have, the more powerful they become.

The latter mainly uses illusions, and one can fall for it without being noticed.

What cultivators fear most is the unpredictable illusion technique, especially the illusion technique that is based on inner demons, which is even more troublesome!

The Illusionary Spirit Pavilion has been deeply involved in this field.

When it comes to illusion techniques in the Great Wilderness Domain, the Illusionary Spirit Pavilion is undoubtedly the strongest sect, without exception.

In addition, all the disciples of his sect are a group of delicate beauties, skilled in illusion and charm.

Which of those hot-blooded male disciples could withstand it?

Xu Zhenzhen, the chief disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Pavilion and a half-step Great Power Realm expert, is one of the best among them.

If it weren't for the fact that the direct disciples of the Yunxiao Sect had a strong enough Dao heart, and that the first level of their sect's supreme divine skill, the "Supreme Yunxiao Scripture," had the ability to resist illusions and eliminate inner demons, they really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Of course, it wasn't that no one in their Cloud Soaring Sect was without the ability to suppress the direct disciples of the three sects.

Those were two peerless geniuses who had been taken in as closed-door disciples by the Supreme Elder who was in seclusion, and their strength had both reached the half-step Great Power Realm.

Among the direct disciples of the five major sects, there is only one half-step Great Power Realm expert from each sect.

Overall, apart from Fang Li, who emerged as a dark horse.

For the other disciples of the Cloud Soaring Sect, everything is developing in a positive direction.

This made Yun Zhongzi feel gratified and satisfied.

Gradually, my mood improved.

As expected, everything is fine if you don't think about that brat Gu Xuan.

......

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye amidst the fierce competition for new talent.

After two days of competition.

Fang Li fought his way out from the ranks of the menial disciples and was victorious in every battle.

Unsurprisingly, he once again won in the inner disciple group and advanced to the personal disciple group.

Except for Fang Li.

More than a thousand inner disciples of the Yunxiao Sect also advanced to the personal disciple group, and twenty people from the five major sects advanced.

This is the Yunxiao Sect's triennial newcomer competition.

Fang Li's name resounded throughout the Cloud Soaring Sect and even the five major sects!

That mortal man proved he was no waste in three months.

There were also dissenting voices, some believing that Fang Li's cultivation level was achieved by his master Gu Xuan, the number one waste in the Great Wilderness Region, using the pill resources left behind by the alchemy grandmaster Yun Hezi.

Otherwise, how could Gu Xuan, with only the second level of the Physical Body Realm, have cultivated Fang Li, who possesses the cultivation of the Soul Palace Realm?

That good-for-nothing Gu Xuan can't even understand cultivation on his own.

If he had that kind of ability, he would have been made a king or marquis long ago. Why would he be stuck at the physical body realm for decades?!

Amidst these doubts, Fang Li arrived at the arena for the direct disciples.

For the direct disciples group, only a best-of-three series is needed.

You will then advance to the finals of the Newcomer Competition!

It's worth mentioning that the final of the newcomer competition is no longer a ring match, but a points-based competition held on the outskirts of the forest on the eastern foothills of the Great Wilderness.

The Eastern Foothills Forest is a gathering place for wild beasts from the Great Wilderness.

It is said that deep within the forests of the eastern foothills, there exists a wild beast at the peak of the ninth level of the Void God Realm.

Fortunately, the final competition was held on the outskirts of the eastern foothills forest.

Most of the wild beasts in this area are at the Spirit Sea Realm, while a small number are at the Soul Palace Realm.

For a group of new disciples whose cultivation level was at least at the Divine Power Realm, it was naturally a piece of cake.

In addition, the Yunxiao Sect will set up a barrier throughout the entire eastern forest, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Therefore, killing wild beasts is not the fundamental solution.

After all, killing these wild beasts one by one is too slow. The fastest way to gain points is to steal points from other people.

A battle for supremacy!

The person with the highest score will be the ultimate Rookie of the Year.

The Yunxiao Sect's higher-ups did this to allow newly joined disciples to adapt in advance to the treacherous and dog-eat-dog world of cultivation.

Working in isolation won't work; it will only create flowers in a greenhouse.

Such a simple and pure cultivator.

They are absolutely no match for those ruthless and cunning rogue cultivators who have been through the trials and tribulations of the outside world.

This is the fundamental reason why the Yunxiao Sect's higher-ups agreed to let the five major sects bring their disciples over for sparring and exchange.
