"An Initial Tier Demon King Level Earth Dragon doesn't even need to swallow him. A casual flick of its dragon beard could turn this guy named Mu Shiba into dust!"

Among the discussions of the cultivators, there were indeed some who shook their heads silently. These cultivators had previously witnessed the events involving Galin Bodhisattva and Lin Xuankong. In their eyes, anyone to whom Galin Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism would gift a Buddhist Spiritual Treasure could not possibly be an ordinary person! However, they hadn't seen Lin Xuankong in action, nor had they heard who this 'Mu Shiba' truly was. So, these cultivators merely suspected Lin Xuankong wasn't ordinary. As for whether he was stronger than Chang Li or if he could withstand Chang Li's assault, they were uncertain.

At Lin Xuankong's location, Li Xiaohu, Han Lu, and the others frowned upon hearing the announcement from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciple. Little Hu and the others were extremely confident in Lin Xuankong, as they had personally witnessed him wield the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword! Back then, the Four Great Demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect had used Demon Techniques to forcibly elevate themselves to the First-Grade Earth Immortal Realm. Despite this, they still fled in terror when Lin Xuankong wielded the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword, not daring to confront him directly!

However, they were all keenly aware that Lin Xuankong would definitely not casually wield the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword on such an occasion, especially in front of countless cultivators and numerous Earth Immortals. Yet, without using the Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword and his other Immortal Artifacts, defeating Second Prince Chang Li would not be easy. An Initial Tier Demon King Level Earth Dragon was a genuine threat capable of contending with an Initial Tier Earth Immortal! These thoughts made Li Xiaohu and the others worry, and they all looked towards Lin Xuankong.

At this moment, even Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er couldn't help but frown slightly as she looked at Lin Xuankong. Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er had long been extremely annoyed with Second Prince Chang Li. However, considering the Xianluo Dynasty and the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect backing him, as well as his formidable strength, she could only avoid him by refusing to meet. Now that Lin Xuankong was matched against Second Prince Chang Li, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er naturally felt a surge of worry.

"It is said that Second Prince Chang Li also possesses Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, so you must not be careless. Moreover, his Initial Tier Demon King Level Earth Dragon can transform into a terrifying Demon thousands of feet tall at any time. Even Initial Tier Earth Immortals of the same realm would find it troublesome!

"Furthermore, I've heard he has a domineering personality. Once he makes a move, he will never let you off easily. If you... if you really can't hold on, remember to prioritize your safety. Even if you have to reveal some of your trump cards, make sure to protect yourself!"

Seeing Li Xiaohu, Han Lu, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, and the others all looking worried, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh. "You all should focus on how to defeat your own opponents round after round! As for this Chang Li, he has pestered you, Ying'Er, relentlessly. This time, I'll take the opportunity to teach him a proper lesson!"

With that, Lin Xuankong leaped up, transforming into an arc of light as he flew towards Martial Arena 128 in the distance.

As soon as he landed on the array-covered platform of the martial arena, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciple who had been standing on Martial Arena 128 floated up, landing outside its array. This disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect announced, "The disciple selection competition has only one rule: do not leave the martial arena. Leaving the arena means failure! As for everything else, you can use any means at your disposal; there are no restrictions. Please wait a moment. I will announce the start of the competition, and then you may showcase your skills!"

With that, he floated to the west side of the arena and waited quietly.

By now, on the hundreds of martial arenas, all participating cultivators were in position, each staring intently at their opponent. However, the eyes of the over one hundred thousand cultivators in the massive circular stands were all focused on Martial Arena 128, fixated on Lin Xuankong and Chang Li, who were preparing to fight.

Clearly, Second Prince Chang Li's reputation was already well-established, making him one of the most popular prodigies in Spiritual Crane Immortal City during this time.

It wasn't just the cultivators in the stands. Floating on the Immortal Clouds above the many martial arenas, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, the late-stage Second-Grade Earth Immortal Huang Liutao, and other Earth Immortals from various Immortal Sects also focused their attention on Chang Li and Lin Xuankong.

Sect Leader Li carefully examined Lin Xuankong, then turned to Qu Qiao'Er. "Junior Sister Qu, I heard that you, along with two disciples and Lii Xiaolan, encountered this cultivator named Mu Shiba at the auction house recently. In your opinion, who will win between Mu Shiba and Chang Li?"

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er shook her head slightly. "I only heard that this Mu Shiba is from the same village as Lii Xiaolan, and that they both hail from the Great Xia Dynasty. As for his actual strength, I am not clear.

"However, considering Chang Li's power, even Initial Tier Earth Immortals would struggle to win against his Immortal Artifacts and Initial Tier Demon King Level Earth Dragon, let alone a cultivator in the Transcendence Realm! Unless... unless this Mu Shiba possesses two Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, or has two Initial Tier Demon King Level Demons as Exotic Beasts, he probably wouldn't last even a single breath against Chang Li's attacks!"
