The fourth day of the joint martial arts examination.

The disciples of Langde Immortal Institute arrived at the venue, talking and laughing. The competitions of the past three days had filled them with confidence. In their eyes, the disciples of Xinyue Immortal Institute were nothing more than people who had never experienced real combat. It wouldn’t be long before they could claim victory in this martial arts examination.

However, in the eyes of a top student like Wang Qi, this kind of victory was quite meaningless.

Compared to his classmates, Hu Jianhao was not so relaxed. After witnessing Wang Qi’s swordsmanship, he had already put away all contempt. The Heavenly Entropy Technique and the Elephant Phase Wave Skill only accentuated how formidable Wang Qi really was.

But he could not lose.

He wasn’t an especially outstanding genius. It was not difficult for him to secure a place in the path of immortal cultivation, but it was unlikely that he could open a great path and be revered for millennia like his ancestors. To follow in the steps of the Carefree Great Cultivators of Mysterious Palace, and seek the Dao with collective wisdom and effort, was his opportunity.

And he believed the best way to form bonds with comrades was through classmates.

Those who entered the Immortal Institute were all of exceptional talent. Perhaps they hadn’t demonstrated their full potential yet, but every disciple from the Immortal Institute could indeed advance to the Golden Core stage quickly. As long as he could firmly connect them together, this would form a natural research team.

And the simplest way to bond a team was through collective honor and a common enemy.

Thus, Langde must thoroughly dominate Xinyue here.

With this thought in mind, he headed towards the martial arts examination venue.

Soon, he spotted his target among the crowd opposite.

The atmosphere among the Xinyue Immortal Institute disciples today was somewhat different.

After being suppressed by the Langde Immortal Institute for three days, the Xinyue disciples had bottled up a lot of frustration. At this moment, they exhibited a sense of shame coupled with newfound courage. They were no longer brainstorming or looking around distractedly. Each New Moon disciple was staring intensely at their potential rivals, calculating how to break their opponent’s techniques, and only occasionally exchanging words with a companion.

In this group, somewhat exuding an aura of desperate troops, Wang Qi seemed somewhat out of place. He leaned against a scenic tree, arms crossed, seemingly meditating with his eyes closed, his lips revealing a hint of helplessness. Beside him was the incessantly chattering Long Shulin.

The young man beside Wang Qi was reporting intelligence about the elite disciples of the opposing side. While speaking, he sighed, "Brother Wang, although healing is indeed important, not paying attention to the competition for three days is also somewhat careless."

Wang Qi shook his head, "Honestly, just the divine nature of my cultivation technique is enough to crush them. It’s best to just fight openly and honorably."

Hearing this, Long Shulin could only shake his head and bitterly smile. He had experienced the otherworldly nature of the Elephant Phase Wave Skill and the Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy, which indeed were not something a Qi Cultivation Stage practitioner could contend with. However, he really didn’t want Wang Qi to suffer from underestimating the enemy and end up in a hard battle. That would only further damage the morale of Xinyue Immortal Institute, so regardless of Wang Qi’s impatience, he insisted on staying close to provide commentary, "Brother Wang, you should still be cautious. The opponent I’m about to mention, Qiu Yunlong, is also someone worth watching out for..."

Wang Qi felt utterly helpless in response to this, although he felt like telling others to shut up, Long Shulin meant well and it wasn’t suitable to use such impolite methods.

From a distance, Hu Jianhao watched Wang Qi’s languid demeanor, feeling somewhat infuriated. He was trying his utmost to defeat that guy, but that guy didn’t even consider him a rival, showing no sense of tension before the battle. How could he not be enraged?

Fortunately, the gloominess of Wang Qi and the fury of Hu Jianhao did not last long as soon, the Great Grandmaster hosting the martial arts examination arrived at the venue. The unknown Great Grandmaster, with a wave of his hand, placed countless talismans across the square. The powerful spiritual power divided the extensive space into numerous small combat areas. After setting up the venue, the Great Grandmaster cleared his throat and announced, "Today’s martial arts examination can now begin!"

Then, the calculator connecting to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm began to operate, randomly selecting new disciples to fight against each other.

"Xinyue Disciple Wang Qi, Langde Disciple Kun Zhongxuan, proceed to arena seven for the match!"

Wang Qi’s match had actually been arranged for the very first bout of the day. However, that seemed only right. While other disciples had five days to complete twelve matches, Wang Qi had only two days. It was foreseeable that his forthcoming battles would be tightly scheduled.

As soon as Wang Qi stepped onto arena seven, all the new disciples’ gazes in the square converged on him. Those gazes, filled with various emotions, made Wang Qi feel somewhat helpless. From Xinyue’s side, naturally, there was anticipation. Wang Qi’s past performances were simply too dazzling, and his absence in the past three days had disappointed many Xinyue disciples who secretly aimed to challenge him. The looks from the Langde side were much more complex, containing elements of anger, hostility, and disdain.

Soon, Wang Qi focused his attention on his opponent. He vaguely remembered Long Shulin mentioning Kun Zhongxuan’s name. Wang Qi also remembered that it was this man who, by relying on Cultivation Techniques that countered others, had narrowly defeated Wu Shiqin.

Kun Zhongxuan’s expression was somewhat grim. Having fought with Wu Shiqin, he knew that if it was not for his advantage in countering techniques, it would have been impossible to defeat her. And now he faced Wang Qi, who was reputed to be even stronger than Wu Shiqin. How could he not be cautious?

When the Foundation Establishment Stage referee announced the start of the match, a layer of earthen yellow Gang Qi with threads of red fire swiftly appeared on Kun Zhongxuan’s body surface, the crust Qi Gang formed by the Yan Cheng Xuan Di Scripture cultivation technique.

Seeing Kun Zhongxuan unleash Mountain River City’s defensive Absolute Skill right from the start, the Langde side erupted in cheers. The crust Qi Gang was a defensive Absolute Skill that drew from the deep fire within the earth, the broad virtue bearing weight, and the transforming oceans and mulberry fields, emulating the movement of the earth’s crust. Kun Zhongxuan had even mastered this skill to the extent of connecting with the ground itself, forming a unity with the earth. Among his peers, hardly anyone could break this defense with brute force! Just yesterday, he had used this significant Cultivation to channel all of Wu Shiqin’s Thunder Strikes into the ground, forcing a victory against Wu Shiqin who lacked other forms of attack.

After unleashing this Qi Gang, Kun Zhongxuan finally felt somewhat relieved. His fellow disciples bolstered his confidence even further. This Langde disciple looked at Wang Qi with a gaze brimming with fighting spirit, "Come on, Brother Wang! I know I am no match for you, but defeating me won’t be that easy!"

Wang Qi’s expression suddenly became very animated.

At the same time, Hu Jianhao’s expression turned exceedingly ugly.

Xiao Qiu, standing next to Hu Jianhao, leaned in and said, "I’ve heard that Wang Qi is no simple character, Brother Hu, how much of his true strength do you think Kun Zhongxuan can force him to reveal?"

"That fool... he’s simply throwing himself at the mercy of the slaughter!"

Ah?

Xiao Qiu couldn’t understand why Hu Jianhao would say such a thing.

On the stage, Wang Qi also felt that this was not quite right, his tone still somewhat polite, "You’re being too generous... isn’t that so? How about I let you attack first?"

Kun Zhongxuan shook his head, "No need. Since I excel in rebounding, Brother Wang, you don’t have to hold back..."

"Then I won’t be polite anymore!"

After leaving these words behind, Wang Qi powered his legs and charged towards his opponent.
