Chu Nanxi was very confident that she could take first place in the Golden Core stage.

As her voice fell, Lu Ping shook his head slightly and smiled, “There’s no need. First or not, it doesn’t matter to our Seven Phoenixes sect. Furthermore, I feel that with Kong Jing around, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take first place in the Nascent Soul stage.”

This was indeed true. Kong Jing’s cultivation had already reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, the Five-Colored Divine Light taught by Kong Xuan was already slightly more powerful. In Lu Ping’s eyes, ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators were really no match for him.

Chu Nanxi was stunned.

Kong Jing?

That half-grown child? He could take first place in the Nascent Soul stage?

In Chu Nanxi’s eyes, this should be impossible.

At this moment, Lu Ping smiled at her and said, “I’m very pleased that you have such intentions. However, there’s no need for that. Our Seven Phoenixes sect doesn’t need to sacrifice the interests of our disciples to gain so-called reputation.”

Chu Nanxi could sense the confidence in Lu Ping’s words.

In reality, Lu Ping really didn’t care. It didn’t matter whether she took first place or not.

The Seven Phoenixes sect had only been established for a short period of time, and their foundations were weak. This was something he knew very well.

There was no doubt about it. In fact, from the current situation, the Seven Phoenixes sect could be said to be the number one sect on Fengming Planet. This was his greatest confidence.

Compared to the other sects, the Seven Phoenixes sect’s middle power was clearly insufficient.

There was no need to hide this, because everyone knew that the development of a sect had to go through a process.

At the very least, there were already some talents in the Seven Phoenixes sect.

Of course, if he could get first place, Lu Ping would be very happy.

But just as he said, he didn’t need his disciples to sacrifice their own interests in exchange for fame.

Chu Nanxi eventually took the resources and left.

She would soon break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This secret stage trial was also the first time the Seven Phoenixes sect had interacted with an external sect after the establishment of the sect, so the entire Seven Phoenixes sect still attached great importance to it.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaoqi had built two more buildings. There were plenty of places to sit, and a welcoming area was set up in one of the buildings.

As the day of the competition approached, the disciples of the various sects of Qingzhou came one after another.

Each sect could send out three disciples of each stage.

The Seven Phoenixes sect also started a selection campaign.

On the sect arena, Lu Ping’s disciples showed their strength for the first time.

Let’s talk about the Foundation Establishment stage first. This was the cultivation level with the most outer sect disciples.

Meng Fan and Kong Lele advanced to the next level.

After all, these two were Lu Ping’s direct disciples. The cultivation techniques they cultivated were naturally top-notch grade SSS cultivation techniques.

Meng Fan was at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, while Kong Lele was at the seventh level.

But even so, against those ninth level Foundation Establishment outer sect disciples, no one was their match.

At the same time, the third person was a demon male among the new outer sect disciples.

His name was Zi Qingfeng, and he was at the peak of the ninth level Foundation Establishment.

He was just one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

He was a member of the Purple-Eyed Mad Lion Clan, and had joined the sect. His physical body was extremely strong and was far from what ordinary disciples could compare to.

In reality, in this kind of competition with cultivation restrictions, the higher the cultivation, the more advantageous it would be.

However, Kong Lele and Meng Fan had also taught these outer sect disciples a lesson.

Even though their cultivation levels were not as high, when they used their battle prowess, the direct disciples were much more advantageous than the outer sect disciples.

The main reason was that Lu Ping’s direct disciples had all sorts of buffs that were too high. Other than the increase in their cultivation levels, including the cultivation of spells and sword techniques, they all had great benefits.

Therefore, currently, Meng Fan was extremely proficient with the sword technique in one hand, and his sword intent was condensed. Among those in the Foundation Establishment stage, it was already considered rare.

Kong Lele practiced the Five Elements technique.

She didn’t practice the Five-Colored Divine Light, but as someone who also had the blood of the demon race, her talent in the Five Elements technique was extremely high.

Lu Ping had also started targeted training, so her magic strength was extremely strong.

Therefore, even though there were many demons among the new outer sect disciples and their cultivation was also extremely strong, it was difficult to gain an advantage against these two people.

Only Lu Zi was a Golden Core stage direct disciple.

However, these Golden Core stage disciples were completely different from the disciples who had just joined the outer sect.

They had entered the sect for such a long time, and many of them had already obtained more than one spell, and they had also obtained the most resources.

Thus, their combat strength was still very strong.

Lu Zi was a dragon.

Her talent and physical strength were far from what ordinary people could compare to.

Previously, when they ate those immortal level demons, she had eaten the most. Moreover, the flesh and blood had the greatest effect on her.

Furthermore, as a personal disciple, the resources that Huang Xiaoqi gave her were also extremely considerable.

She was cultivating the Demon Flood Dragon Sea Overturning Mantra. This cultivation technique was cultivated by the Demon Flood Dragon King.

Lu Ping obtained it from Sun Wukong and passed it to Lu Zi.

When Lu Zi cultivated it, it was extremely suitable. It could be said that half the effort was twice the result.

Even though she cultivated a grade SSS cultivation technique, she had already reached the fifth level of the Golden Core stage.

Although she was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, her battle prowess was extremely formidable. The Golden Core stage disciples who fought with her were completely crushed. She also obtained a spot in the Golden Core stage.

As for the other disciples, they looked relatively average.

One was Wu Bingyuan, who was at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage, and the other was Liu Wu, who was at the third level of the Golden Core stage.

Their strength was relatively low.

However, this was something that couldn’t be helped.

The time for entering the sect was set there. Not everyone was Chu Nanxi.

The speed of their cultivation growth was already extremely terrifying when compared to normal people.

However, in the Seven Phoenixes sect, it seemed somewhat average.
