  As soon as the tall elder finished his words, the fifteen inherited disciples of the three sects jumped onto the high platforms. Each held one platform, and no one fell behind.

  The other casual practitioners were slightly embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, they turned to the left five high platforms. How dare they fight against the three sects who hosted the tryout?

  “Get off! The position is mine!”

  “Get down with you!”

  “Dare fight with me? Go to hell!”

  “.……”

  Those casual practitioners fell one by one. Either they were seriously injured or killed, leaving bloodstains on the ground.

  Su Li remained her position and observed the five lively platforms. Just like her, there were at least eight practitioners who didn’t move either.

  It was reckless to be the first one to jump onto the platforms at the first day.

  For the tryout would last three days, and only those who could occupy the platform till the last moment would get the position. Unless one was confident with the power like the disciples of the three sects, it was unwise to go up at that moment.

  “However, my purpose differs from theirs……”

  Su Li turned her gaze slowly to Yue Lin, who looked arrogant and confident on the high platform.

  At that moment, she took a chair out of her universe ring and sat down. She was watching the bloody scenes on the five high platforms and turning to Fan Zisang, who didn’t move either. She smiled slightly.

  “Such a tiny sect is not in a position to compete with my sect. How dare you set me up? You must forget your origin and your experience is not comparable to mine!”

  Fan Zisang squinted at Yue Lin’s back and heard Wang Yu’s urging in his ears.

  “My apprentice, time to start!”

  “What are you waiting for?”

  “Do you forget your promise made to me?!”

  “Haven’t I misjudged you, a coward? It wasted several hundreds of years to raise you!”

  As time went by, Wang Yu’s words were getting more and more offensive, but Fan Zisang didn’t get moved. His heart sank deeply.

  He left himself a trace of luck and was hoping his master was not so mean as he imagined. Maybe it was his fault to misunderstand her meaning. But now…… there was no hope left.

  “Immortal Hongyu, why do you look like a lint tray?”

  Suddenly came Elder Qing’s voice. Wang Yu, who was busy with transmitting her voice, was shocked but remained calm and turned to Elder Qing, smiling, “I’m fine, just thinking about practicing. Thanks for your concern.”

  “Glad to hear that.”

  Elder Qing smiled but sneered secretly. He was eager to see that something happened to Wang Yu, which would weaken Huajian Sect only. He would never worry about her sincerely.

  Two days and two nights had passed, and the fluctuation of the spiritual power got weakened. There were less than three practitioners left on the five high platforms. They were covered by blood and lingered on with their exhausted bodies. No trace of withdrawal but craziness and killing intention could be seen in their eyes.

  The killing had driven them insane!

  And they lost their reason.

  The eight unmoved people shook their heads and chose a favorite high platform to occupy. Qi Chen was one of them.

  “Go to hell!”

  “Go to hell!”

  \r \r \r

  “The position is mine!”

  As he landed on the edge of the high platform, he was attacked by those three practitioners together. But their strength was even weaker than those of Lianqi Realm.

  He shook his head slightly without any mercy on his face and struck out, “Get down, all of you!”

  “Ah, ah, ah!”

  They were initially no match for Qi Chen, plus their worst condition, so that they were swiped out the high platforms by Qi Chen directly. They screamed and fell. No one could even stand up after landing on the ground.

  However, nobody was killed, for Qi Chen would not like to commit a sin to kill those idiots.

  At this time, a skinny young man with a feminine face landed on the high platform, standing right opposite to Qi Chen and sneered, “Fellow Practitioner Qi Chen, I am a huge fan of you. I am wondering if you can enfeoff the sword on your back to me?”

  He was targeting the sword!

  Qi Chen squinted and got nervous. This guy was one of the winners from the donnybrook the day before, and his name should be She Yuan.

  “Fellow Practitioner She Yuan……”

  As Qi Chen began to talk, an exclamation outburst from the crowd around. She Yuan and he were stunned and turned to the strangeness. Qi Chen was surprised to see it, and his face changed slightly.

  “It’s her?!”

  On one of the high platforms of the three sects, Yue Lin couldn’t believe her eyes and stared at a skinny woman from nowhere. She doubted, “Are…… you going to challenge me? Did you take the high platform mistakenly?”

  A smile appeared on Su Li’s relaxed face, “There is no mistake. It’s you whom I’m challenging.”

  Hearing those words, the crowd on the square clamored excitedly.

  It was shocking that a casual practitioner dared to challenge an inherited disciple from a sect. Not to mention…… the parties were both females!

  Yue Lin felt humiliated to see Su Li’s smile, and she sneered out of wrath,

  “I have seen a lot of your kind. Just want to get famous for a fight and attract the attention of sects? It’s a pity that you chose the wrong guy. You might have some chance if you had chosen him. You are daydreaming about winning the fight against me!”

  Su Li glanced at Fan Zisang, whom Yue Lin just pointed at, and laughed louder, “Did the first apprentice on Danxia Mount of Huajian Sect defeat her enemies by using her tongue? I have learned a lot from you.”

  A cold expression appeared on Yue Lin’s pretty face, “You are getting yourself killed!!”

  She was so angry that she used her full strength and even poisons to start her attack, for she had never been humiliated right before her face. The bitch must die!

  Su Li flashed and quickly got away from the wind caused by Yue Lin’s palm. She, however, didn’t stop talking, “Hehe, is this the true nature of the first apprentice of Danxia Mount? Even incomparable to a three-year-old kid.”

  Seeing that Su Li dodged the attack so easily, those practitioners who were worrying about her were surprised, and then they were full of interest to watch the battle.

  “This mysterious woman seems…… not to be worse than Yue Lin!”

  “Sure, she is not stupid to risk her life, isn’t she?”

  “Nonsense. I heard you said she was a dead person just now!”

  “You must’ve misheard!”

  “.……”

  It was getting lively again under the platforms. All the people were following the situation of Yue Lin’s platform. If this mysterious female casual practitioner won, this would be an event occurring only once in a thousand years!

  Fan Zisang frowned and watched Yue Lin, who was attacking insanely on her platform.

  He was about to fulfill his promise, challenging Yue Lin, but this female was a step ahead. Was it a coincidence or……

  “Boy, you are lucky. Even I can’t figure out the background of the female casual practitioner. Yue Lin is certainly no match for her. So, you can continue to seal your cultivation until the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits!”

  The elder from the jade token transmitted the voice to Fan Zisang. He nodded subtly, but his eyes were focusing on Su Li. Deep in his mind, he didn’t believe it was so simple like the elder thought.

  “You are too weak! According to your cultivation, did you buy your reputation as the eldest apprentice of Danxia Mount?”

  “Shut up!”

  Yue Lin’s exquisite face was distorted by annoyance. The body of her enemy was as light as a willow catkin, and she barely could touch her. Moreover, that person didn’t stop chattering from the beginning, and the words were sarcastic. Yue Lin was almost driven crazy.

  Swish!

  She stopped suddenly and took a deep breath. After she barely calmed down, she stared at Su Li with the intention of killing in her eyes, “You, a coward who hide away always, have no right to judge me! Dare to take a hit directly?”

  Su Li raised her eyebrows, smiling, “Just right…… I am tired of hiding, as you wish.”

  As she finished, she stretched her slim and fair-skinned hands from the black robe and pressed them on Yue Lin’s breast like a phantom!

  “It’s too fast to dodge!”

  Yue Lin’s face changed slightly, and she made up her mind to use poisonous cultivation. Her palms hidden in the sleeves had changed to black and then confronted with Su Li!

  “Go to hell!”

  Boom!!!

  The confrontation of two hands had caused a severe fluctuation of spiritual power. Even the shield of the tactical matrix rippled for a while. The elders maintaining the tactical matrix were shocked and put their spiritual power into the tactical matrix to keep it steady.

  “Ah!!”

  After a miserable scream, a black shadow, like a bomb, was shot from the high platform to the ground.

  “Who did lose?”

  “Who?!”

  Everyone tried to find out who it would be, including Wang Yu and Elder Qing. They couldn’t help but stand up full of surprise.

  Shortly after, the dust on the high platform faded away, and Su Li appeared with her smile as ever. But this smile did frighten quite a few people now.

  Unscathed!

  This woman was unscathed; even her hair or her clothing was still tidy!

  The female practitioner was much stronger than Yue Lin!

  “Ahem, ahem……”

  From a human-shaped pit came the violent cough. The crowd saw Yue Lin crawl out of the hole with muds on her face. Before she could stand up, she had to spit out blood. Her mental state collapsed either.

  Bearing the stare of the others, she grasped the earth firmly with full of hatred in her eyes, but she was afraid of looking upwards. She took out a healing elixir from her universe ring and put it into her mouth to heal herself.

  The woman was damn strong!

  If this woman hadn’t withdrawn some strength, she must’ve been dead!

  “Wait for me. Since you didn’t kill me just now, you will be killed when you entered the Secret Realm of Shattered Spirits!”

  A blatant hatred flashed in Yue Lin’s eyes. Then, she went into a meditative state. The tryout was not over yet. If she could recover to an ordinary level, there was still a chance for her to enter the secret realm.

  Su Li didn’t look at Yue Lin, and she sat down on Yue Lin’s chair directly.

  The rest thirteen disciples of the three sects were afraid of the woman, but they didn’t take any action, for their places were secured, and Yue Lin’s life or death was out of their business.

  As for Huajian Sect…… Yue Lin was always an outsider. Wang Yu was delighted to see what happened to Yue Lin, and she would not stand out for Yue Lin’s justice. However, she had to do something for the show. She glimpsed at Elder Qing and said helplessly,

  “The female casual practitioner is unexpectedly strong. For Yue Lin was no match for her, she has to accept her bad luck.”

  Elder Qing laughed and agreed, “You are right. We can’t break the rules that twenty-five sects have made.”

  His joy was sincere this time, for Huajian Sect would be short of one man. If his disciples encountered those of Huajian Sect, the advantage would lie with his disciples. Moreover, this woman was a casual practitioner, which meant no sect was behind her……

  Elder Qing wiped his beard as if he was deep in thought.
