"Slow, too slow!"

Jiao Feibai swung the three-foot saber in his hand, and the wolf head formed by black smoke roared out.

Bang!

The two hammers were repelled, and Lei Lou staggered back several steps, his face pale.

His large hands trembled uncontrollably, and Lei Lou looked distressed.

Jiao Feibai... was too strong.

Clearly, they were both first-tier Earth Level martial artists, yet this power was completely overwhelming.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Lei Lou continued to attack Jiao Feibai.

But having grasped Lei Lou's strength, Jiao Feibai easily suppressed him.

The time for one incense stick was nearly up.

"Despair!"

Jiao Feibai suddenly showed a mocking smile, and then the three-foot saber in his hand became heavy.

Profound Light Mountain-Suppressing Saber!

Bang!

It was as if a giant ten-thousand-ton mountain crashed down; Lei Lou's muscles and bones snapped, and he spat blood continuously.

He couldn't even support his own body and collapsed directly to the ground.

"Challenge failed, come back in three years."

With You Lin's verdict announced, Lei Lou was carried away by other disciples.

Seeing this scene, the remaining outer layer disciples looked at each other, seeing the dejection in each other's eyes.

If even the top three were beaten so badly, what could they do?

Next, some chose to challenge Sha Hongyu, while others continued to challenge Jiao Feibai, and some even wanted to challenge You Lin.

But without exception, they all lost.

Very soon.

"Tenth place, choose your opponent."

You Lin cast his gaze on Wang Xu, and all the eyes of the inner layer disciples on the field focused on Wang Xu.

At this moment, Wang Xu undoubtedly became the center of attention.

"Heh, the tenth place, is it even worth our time?"

After dealing with two outer layer disciples, Sha Hongyu had a general understanding of their strength.

If the top nine were already like this, what about the weakest, the one ranked at the bottom?

"He won't make it, yes, he will definitely lose!"

Lin Shangyu, mixed among the crowd, thought to himself.

If there was anyone among so many who didn't want Wang Xu to enter the inner layer, it was undoubtedly Lin Shangyu.

If Wang Xu entered the inner layer, he would surely gain favor from the elders and obtain vast cultivation resources. In such a case, even if Lin Shangyu wanted to catch up and surpass Wang Xu, it would be uncertain when that could happen.

Since becoming an inner disciple in Kunlong, Lin Shangyu had vowed secretly in his heart.

He must become powerful and avenge his father, Lin Fenglang!

But once Wang Xu became an inner disciple, let alone taking revenge, Lin Shangyu would be lucky if Wang Xu didn't crush him!

"I challenge you."

At this moment, Wang Xu spoke.

His eyes were directed at Jiao Feibai, choosing to challenge this first-tier Earth Level martial artist.

"Another one who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking a battle of attrition would wear me out? How laughable!"

Jiao Feibai stepped out again; this wasn't the first time, "A mere bottom-ranked outer disciple dreaming big, it really shows."

Luo Xiao, who had been watching all along, furrowed his brow tightly, looking displeased.

Jiao Feibai repeatedly humiliated the outer layer disciples, taunting and ridiculing anyone who challenged or didn't challenge him.

Because of this, most of the top ten outer disciples chose to challenge Jiao Feibai despite knowing they would be defeated miserably.

But none could even the score, not even Luo Xiao, who believed he couldn't last an incense stick's time in front of Jiao Feibai.

Wang Xu's face remained expressionless, as a blood-colored saber, thin like cicada wings, silently appeared in his hand.

"Tenth place, should I let you make one move, two moves, or three?"

Jiao Feibai mocked, "Forget it, I won't let you; I have urgent matters and no time to waste on trash like you."

Swoosh!

After speaking, Jiao Feibai moved, using a body technique faster than Luo Xiao's, rushing straight at Wang Xu.

Seeing this, Luo Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He prided himself on his body technique speed being unmatched by anyone below the Celestial Level martial artist.

But Jiao Feibai surpassed him not only in body technique speed, but also in strength, insight, reflexes, and more.

This is what it meant to be an inner disciple!

Celestial Wolf Life-taking Saber!

Jiao Feibai looked down on Wang Xu from the heart, using only his weakest secret technique.

The black smoke wolf head roared towards Wang Xu, like a real black wolf pouncing, the force nearly tearing his robes.

Pure Yang Saber.

Faced with such an attack, Wang Xu looked indifferent.

A heat wave spread, the blood-colored blaze blending with surging primordial power. Wang Xu's saber had no flourish, the upward slash trajectory crystal clear.

Boom~~

Upon contact, a wailing wolf howl echoed, followed by a rolling heat wave enveloping and completely crushing the collapsing black smoke wolf head.

Jiao Feibai's expression changed, his body uncontrollably flying back over ten meters before barely stopping.

In contrast, Wang Xu stood still, unmoving, with the Blood Dragon Cicada Wing Saber in his hand still emanating rolling heat waves.

"Hiss—"

This scene caused everyone present to involuntarily gasp.

Repelling Jiao Feibai with one strike?

Is this real!

Even Sha Hongyu and You Lin couldn't help but stand from their seats, their eyes full of astonishment.

"It's over... it's over... I knew it, he's a freak, a freak!"

Lin Shangyu almost fell to the ground, mourning, his heart ashen.

Even though Jiao Feibai had always been overwhelmingly powerful compared to any outer layer disciple, Lin Shangyu knew that Wang Xu was someone who could contend with Celestial Level martial artists and even defeat them!

So deep down, he was always worried, constantly praying that Jiao Feibai could defeat Wang Xu.

However, the cruel reality completely shattered his last hope.

Jiao Feibai couldn't even withstand a single strike from him and was sent flying!

"How can he be so strong?!"

Luo Xiao was also taken aback at this moment.

He had clearly witnessed Wang Xu challenging An Yilong.

It was the same strike, yet why could it repel Jiao Feibai?

Wang Xu's first strike against An Yilong was the Pure Yang Saber, which sent An Yilong retreating.

This time, the same strike sent Jiao Feibai retreating as well.

The vast difference is baffling.

Nonetheless, anyone observant could see that the skin on Wang Xu's wrist, gripping the great saber, shimmered with a dark golden light.

The fourth layer of the "Golden Spirit Scripture."

This is the reason why the same strike caused such a significant difference!

"Ranked at the bottom, yet your strength is the strongest among the ten, are you intentionally hiding it? But unfortunately, if it were Senior Brother You Lin, perhaps he would let you pass, but you chose me, and that was your greatest mistake!"

Jiao Feibai's long hair fluttered without wind as he stood in mid-air, his three-foot saber emanating a heavy aura.

Profound Light Mountain-Suppressing Saber!

As if a ten-thousand-ton mountain had crashed down, an overwhelming pressure beyond any Earth Level martial artist erupted powerfully.

The inner layer disciples exclaimed in shock.

Bei Xinsi looked at Wang Xu with a face full of tension, and Fu Zixiao, feeling the strength of this strike, was slightly moved. However, he was more eager to know how Wang Xu would handle this attack.

"Admit defeat!"

Jiao Feibai roared.

The heavy three-foot saber crashed down, and in this strike, Jiao Feibai exerted all his power, stronger than when he defeated Lei Lou.

In contrast, Wang Xu seemed motionless.

But someone had noticed that Wang Xu's skin suddenly transitioned from dark golden to a striking golden hue.

The fifth layer of the "Golden Spirit Scripture"!

A mighty physical body rivaling a Celestial Level martial artist shone with golden light, making Wang Xu appear like a Golden Body Arhat.

Step!

Wang Xu leaped, confronting the heavy three-foot saber.

Pure Yang Saber.

Wang Xu once again used the Pure Yang Saber technique.

However, unlike before, the strength of this strike had doubled!

"Low tier secret technique in the Perfection Realm!"

You Lin's eyes lit up.

If a low tier secret technique reaches perfection, it can rival a middle-tier secret technique at great success.

But that's not the key; what's important is that Wang Xu, an outer layer disciple, was able to cultivate a secret technique to perfection, which is what is truly impressive.

One must know that even inner layer disciples, though each practices a secret technique, few can cultivate it to perfection.

The perfection of a secret technique means flawless execution, doubling its power.

Clang

As if an ancient bell had been struck, a long and resounding impact echoed throughout, reverberating in the ears.

An invisible wave of strong air spread out, forcing the surrounding inner layer disciples to retreat dozens of meters.

"What?!"

At the same time, Jiao Feibai's expression changed drastically.

The immense force transmitted from the Blood Dragon Cicada Wing Saber had completely overwhelmed Jiao Feibai.

Jiao Feibai felt a force that he couldn't resist, his palm tingling, his hand trembling, unable to hold onto the three-foot saber anymore, and he was launched into the air by the force.

The three-foot saber slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground with a clang.

Jiao Feibai barely managed to stabilize his figure, his face pale and unsightly.

The outcome of this battle was obvious; he had lost.

"Can't even hold your weapon, is this your strength?"

Wang Xu spoke lightly from above.

A single sentence left everyone breathless and Jiao Feibai at a loss for words.

"Haha..."

Just then, You Lin laughed heartily as he walked through the air.

"Wang Xu, congratulations on successfully earning the qualification of an inner layer disciple."

You Lin said with a smile, "Now you may choose among the Three Great Halls. I have already introduced each of their characteristics once for you to choose freely."

Instantly, all eyes focused on Wang Xu.

All the disciples were curious as to which hall Wang Xu would ultimately choose.

However, most of them had a conclusion in their minds.

Wang Xu uses the Sword Technique, which is the main focus of the Human Hall; joining the Human Hall would be most fitting for him.

"Which sub-hall will he choose?"

Bei Xinsi looked at Wang Xu, staring into his calm eyes, trying to discern which sub-hall he intended to enter.

"Wang Xu, enter the Celestial Hall!"

Just as Wang Xu was about to speak, a quiet voice echoed from within him.

"The Human Hall is more suitable for me to cultivate the Sword Technique."

Wang Xu said.

"What mystery could this little place's Sword Technique hold? I have plenty of Sword Techniques; you must choose the Celestial Hall, focusing on the physical body and Primordial Power techniques!"
