Immediately after, he leaped forth onto an empty space, quietly waiting for his opponent to challenge him.
With the Chen named cultivator’s successful registration, many Foundation Establishment cultivators were eager to try.
At the same time, some cultivators who were there for the excitement began to discuss among themselves.
Among them, a Fifth Level Qi Refinement cultivator muttered softly,
“Elder Chen comes from the Xijing Mountain Range, and his personal cultivation strength is also very strong. Unless there’s an accident, he should be able to secure a spot in the top eleven.”
No sooner had these words been spoken than other Qi Refining Cultivators looking on took up the conversation,
“That’s no understatement…”
“To think that there are over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators here, and among them, there are quite a few in the Mid Foundation Establishment Realm. It won’t be easy for someone at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment to squeeze in.”
While they were discussing animatedly, quite a number of cultivators from both the Qi Refining Area and the Foundation Establishment Area registered to participate.
...
After all, the rewards for this event, being treasures that could enhance one’s cultivation, seemed overly generous in their eyes.
Even though there was only one high-value treasure as a reward in each event, such a competitive environment was bound to be extremely fierce.
But merely sparring and entering a magic duel with the possibility of obtaining a treasure, such a risk-free competition, compared to those who risked their lives for opportunities, was obviously much safer.
Therefore, even though some well-known cultivators signed up to participate, other cultivators didn’t want to miss such an opportunity.
Thus, the number of registered cultivators continued to grow, with hundreds of Qi Refining Cultivators quickly signing up for the Qi Refining Area.
As for the Foundation Establishment Area, dozens also registered to compete, with most families among the Lin Family’s affiliated Foundation Establishment Powers sending representatives.
It was obvious, they all wanted to give it their best shot, and if it didn’t work out, they were prepared to concede.
After all, if the gap in strength between the combatants was too large, one could simply surrender.
As long as a cultivator was decisive, at the very least, there was no threat to life in the competition.
Because everyone understood this, many cultivators registered for the competition.
Under the arrangement of the Lin Family Members, they each received their number tags and quickly picked their opponents at random.
Immediately after, the faces of the determined opponents varied; some were familiar with each other, or the difference in strength was so great, that even before the start of the competition, the weaker party admitted defeat.
Then, there were those whose cultivation and realm were not far apart.
Out of greed for the reward treasures, these evenly matched contestants had serious expressions and did not easily plan to give up.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of many spectators, they collectively advanced to the designated empty space.
This was the venue for the duel, an area that was extremely large, a boundless plain that was suitable for cultivator battles.
Meanwhile, there were two Golden Core Cultivators from the Lin Family present, so no matter how intense the competition became, it would have no impact on the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
As the onlookers watched, many cultivators did not intend to delay and hastily launched their attacks.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Amidst numerous battlefields, the clash between two Foundation Establishment Fourth Level cultivators was not insignificant and caught the attention of Lin Tianming.
Watching them, he noticed that both competitors had the same level of cultivation and plentiful combat experience, clearly they were warriors through and through.
It was evident that neither of the two was weak, and among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present, apart from the few Foundation Establishment Fifth Level Cultivators, these two were formidable contenders for the final reward.
Sadly, fate had other plans, and this was merely the first round where such opponents directly faced each other.

It was an outcome many did not expect.
But that was the reality, that many formidable opponents met early on in just the first round of competition.
No matter what, if one wished to win the ultimate reward, those powerful opponents had to be confronted sooner or later.
If one were to hesitate or look back in fear, it would be difficult to go further.
Understanding this, these two Foundation Establishment Fourth Level Cultivators went all out, their powerful fluctuations sweeping across the area, completely overshadowing the other dueling fields.
Lin Tianming watched with a calm face, occasionally waving his hand to directly crush those powerful fluctuations to prevent them from affecting the other dueling fields.
At this time, Lin Shihua was also quite content, overseeing the Qi Refining Area where the cultivators had very limited strength, making their fluctuations almost negligible.

Thus, Lin Shikang was also distracted, paying attention to the fierce battle on this side, and he asked a question.
“Tian Ming, the battle between these two seems evenly matched, who do you favor a bit more?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming chuckled and replied without hesitation, “Third Grandfather, Tian Ming is betting on the White Robed Cultivator!”
“Oh?”
Lin Shikang was somewhat surprised. After all, although the White Robed Cultivator seemed to be evenly matched at the moment, a careful observation revealed that the cultivator had been defensive from start to finish and had chances to attack.
Moreover, each of his opponent’s attacks was easily deflected, as if he’d been led by the nose the entire time.
If things continued this way, as soon as his opponent found an excellent opportunity, he might achieve a surprising effect.
In this case, to decisively defeat him was not an impossible task.
Lin Shikang clearly saw this point and, after a brief analysis, came to his own conclusion.
“Tian Ming, my boy, why do you think the White Robed Cultivator will win?”
Lin Shikang asked with a smile.
And Lin Tianming also smiled faintly and then began to explain.
“Third Grandfather, despite the White Robed Cultivator seeming to be at a slight disadvantage, if you sense carefully, his attacks are stronger with each strike.”
“Obviously, he is accumulating power!”
“And every defense, is for the sake of gathering strength. Once it reaches a certain level, and he seizes an opportunity, defeating his opponent is a sure thing.”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, Lin Shikang slightly sensed it and indeed noticed something different.
And thus, he began to agree with Lin Tianming’s view.
And in truth, it indeed turned out as Lin Tianming had predicted.
At a certain moment, the White Robed Cultivator intentionally revealed a flaw to catch his opponent’s attention.
His opponent, having attacked for a long time without success, saw what he believed to be a chance for a fatal blow and didn’t hesitate in his heart.
Unfortunately, his attack also gave his opponent an opportunity.
Under Lin Tianming’s watchful gaze, the Longsword in the White Robed Cultivator’s hand flashed as it sped toward his opponent’s head.
The Longsword was incredibly fast, the angle tricky, and the timing of the attack was perfect.
Facing such an abrupt change, his opponent hadn’t reacted before seeing that the Longsword had already arrived, mere feet away from his vital spot.
At such a close distance, dodging was nearly impossible.
But now that the attack had arrived, and there was no evading or countering it, he could only resign himself to fate.
At that moment, the cultivator somewhat regretted easily falling for the trick; now it was too late for anything.
Just as the cultivator was painted in despair, a blur appeared before his eyes, and he saw an invisible force emerge.
It was at that time that Lin Tianming reached out into the void, and the Longsword that had been in the middle of its attack was suddenly grasped in his hand.
The Longsword trembled slightly, seemingly trying to escape its constraints.
Lin Tianming chuckled and tossed the Longsword in his hand, which then returned to the White Robed Cultivator.
And it was then that the despairing cultivator finally realized what had happened; his face was filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe.
He knew that if it hadn’t been for Lin Tianming’s casual grasp, removing the Longsword, he would likely have lost his life this time.
Now, Lin Tianming had easily resolved the lethal attack, practically saving his life.
Deeply aware of this, the man immediately bowed to Lin Tianming and then said, “Junior thanks Elder Lin for the rescue!”
“Hmm… admit defeat!”
Lin Tianming waved his hand and laughed, not minding it in the least.
