Chapter 324 The spirit flame shows its power
The main hospital of Jiutian Sword Academy.
Since the main academy competition has officially begun, the entire Taoist academy is extremely lively.
Many monks from Qingyang Immortal City came to watch.
After all, this competition involves not only Taoist disciples, but also Taoist teachers.
A monk at the Nascent Soul level.
This is extremely rare.
After all, Qingyang Immortal City is basically a safe area in addition to developing boundaries.
Even if there is a tide of beasts or evil cultivators, it will generally not be able to affect Qingyang Fairy City.
It is almost impossible to see Yuanying monks fighting.
Early in the morning, Dean Gong took Zhou Ling and others to the competition square.
Then they were arranged to go to their rest area and wait for the competition to come.
They were placed in the first batch to compete.
The disciples' competition and the teacher's competition will be held at the same time, but they will be arranged on different competition stages.
As other Taoist disciples continued to arrive, Zhou Ling also saw the teachers and disciples of other Taoist schools.
They are all Qingyang Immortal Realm and its talented people.
After all, in the entire Qingyang Immortal Realm cultivation world, Qingyang Immortal City is only a fourth-level immortal city.
It can only be regarded as a medium force.
However, due to the existence of Zhou Ling, the foundation-building instructor, it attracted the attention of other Taoist academies.
After all, teachers and disciples who participate in Taoist competitions are usually registered in the register.
In addition to the Foundation Establishment disciples, they also knew that Zhou Ling was also the head of the Tiangong Division.
Of course, Zhizheng only means that his strength in weapon refining is not low.
But here is an actual combat test, and the situation is completely different.
After a while, there was a huge square made of white jade.
The seats were filled with monks and disciples from Jiutian Sword Academy who came to watch.
Cang!
clang
Cang!
Just then, a bell rang.
But on the judges' bench in the square, several sapphire platforms descended, and on the platform sat a monk with a strong aura.
There are nine of them in total, both male and female.
Each one exudes a powerful and unfathomable aura.
Zhou Ling also met the long-lost head of the Wang family, Ye Zhishou of the Tiangong Department and Dean Shen of the Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
"This year's general hospital competition has officially begun!"
In the center of the Taoist platform, the dean of Jiutian Sword Academy, wearing a green robe and a majestic face, spoke out.
The sound is like a loud bell, which refreshes people's spirits.
"Competition No. 1, Jinhe Immortal City Butian Taoist Academy versus Qichen Immortal City Xuanyuan Taoist Academy."
"No. 2 Competition Stage, Lingguang Immortal City Feilong Battle Academy versus Feiyu Immortal City Tianxia Taoist Academy."
······
"Competition No. 6, Qingyun Immortal City Jiutian Sword Academy versus Guyan Immortal City Tianxia Dao Academy."
······.
The voice of the monk who presided over the competition fell.
Groups of monks began to walk towards the competition platform.
"Everyone can just go out and fight as we discussed yesterday!"
The dean of the palace walked in front and spoke to everyone calmly.
"Yes, Dean!"
The disciples all bowed their hands and replied.
Since it was a team competition, everyone didn’t seem too nervous.
But when he looked at Zhou Ling, he was still somewhat suspicious.
After all, his opponent was a peak Golden Core cultivator.
There is a big gap between the two.
Moreover, the golden elixir monks condensed the elixir realm, which absolutely suppressed the foundation-building monks.
However, Zhou Ling always looked like an old god. No one knew where his confidence came from.
Soon, seven people were on the competition stage.
The test bench is divided into two areas.
They are all very spacious and shrouded in the light of a magic circle.
The area where the disciples compete is the third-level magic circle, while the instructor's area is the fourth-level magic circle.
Zhou Ling followed Dean Gong to the teaching competition area.
Opposite them, two burly men were already standing.
One of them with a slightly elegant appearance is Lin Changqing, the dean of Tianxia Taoist Academy in Ancient Rock Immortal City.
The one who looks a little rough is the chief instructor He Jing.
"Dean Palace, Professor Zhou is so polite!"
"Dean Lin, Professor He is so polite!"
Both sides bowed their hands to each other.
"Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect that at such an age, he would have such cultivation. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"
Lin Changqing asked with a smile.
He was a little surprised when he originally heard that Zhou Ling was only at the peak level of foundation building.
After all, in the Fourth-Rank Taoist Academy, the inner courtyard teaches at least Jindan cultivation, which is a general consensus.
But after checking Zhou Ling's situation, he was greatly surprised.
As a senior member of the Taoist Academy, he naturally has access to information that ordinary people don't know.
Zhou Ling was not only in charge of the Tiangong Division, he also made great achievements in the recent battle of Anyang Immortal City.
It is said that one person killed two fourth-level monsters.
After knowing this news, they immediately did not take it lightly.
"Dean Lin, Mr. He, please give me some advice!"
Zhou Ling cupped his hands and said.
With the experience of killing two fourth-level monsters, now he doesn't feel much pressure even if he faces the Nascent Soul cultivator head-on.
"Last year, I heard my clan brother say that he lost in weapon refining. I still didn't believe it. Now that I see Zhou Jiaoxi, I know that my clan brother's defeat was not unjust."
He Jing laughed with a slightly hoarse voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at the head of the He family at the judges' table.
Only then did he realize that the He Jing in front of him was actually from the He family.
During the Tianwei assessment, he defeated He Yunshan, who had the highest claim for the title, and thus won the title.
Didn't you expect that you would meet members of the He family at the first stop of this assessment?
What a coincidence!
From the other party's words, he could feel a faint hostility.
Is it possible that after defeating He Yunshan, the He family still cares about him?
The He family is a well-known family after all, so they can't be so petty, right?
Zhou Ling thought in his mind.
Of course, he is now the official of the Tiangong Division, so he is not worried.
In the Dao League, this identity is the best talisman.
"The competition officially begins!"
As a majestic voice sounded.
"I happened to meet Professor Zhou this time, so let me see if Professor Zhou's swordsmanship is as amazing as the weapon refining talent!"
He Jing looked at Zhou Ling and said with a slightly proud tone.
He really couldn't figure out what trump card a foundation-building monk had in his hand to dare to face a peak golden elixir monk like this.
Don't say this is a big step.
Even 80% of foundation-building monks will find it difficult to enter the golden elixir realm in this life.
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jing raised his hand, and a flame of light suddenly condensed on his hand.
A blazing and violent flame bloomed, gathering into a web of flames, and rolled towards Zhou Ling.
"Why is this guy Zhou Ling participating in such a competition at the level of Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul?"
"Isn't he a teacher of my Xuanyuan Taoist Academy? Why does he represent the Jiutian Sword Academy again?"
At the judges' table, Dean Shen looked confused.
"How dare a peak-level foundation-building cultivator dare to fight against He Jing, a peak-level Golden Core cultivator?" "What kind of trump card does this little guy have? It's really exciting!"
"He became the official of the Tiangong Department at a young age and the chief instructor of the Taoist Academy. How can such a person be a reckless person!"
"Master Wang, isn't he the son-in-law of your Wang family? What is going on?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Ling who stood out from the crowd, and their attention quickly focused on him.
After all, his age and cultivation are too conspicuous.
Among the teachings, the lowest ones are basically at the peak of the golden elixir.
For someone like him, who is at the pinnacle of foundation building, he looks extremely out of place.
It's hard not to attract other people's attention.
Although they all feel that Zhou Ling is not simple, it is simply impossible to defeat the peak Jindan with peak foundation building cultivation.
If it is the early stage of the Golden Elixir, or with the help of some means, there may be a chance.
But at the peak of Jin Dan, the gap is really too big.
The lowest level of cultivation among those present was at the late stage of Nascent Soul, and there were even cultivators who transformed themselves into gods.
In their cultivation career, they have almost never seen anyone at the peak of Foundation Establishment defeating the peak of Golden Core.
"Haha! It is said that he is a three-level sword cultivator."
The head of the Wang family said with a playful smile.
In fact, I was extremely shocked.
Every time I see Zhou Ling, this kid's progress is unbelievable.
You must know that the last time I saw him, he was only at the second level of foundation building, but now he has reached the peak of foundation building in less than two years.
Wouldn't it be easy for him to get the golden elixir in those ten years?
The ten-year golden elixir I had originally agreed with him seemed to be a complete joke now.
Fortunately, the relationship with Zhou Ling was adjusted later.
Let his daughter spend more time with him so that he won't have any resentment towards the Wang family.
After all, this is how it goes.
Zhou Ling also has the possibility of becoming a god-transforming monk in the future.
"It's hard for a sword cultivator in the Three Realms to defeat He Jing!"
"Yes, is there no one in Jiutian Sword Academy? Do you want a foundation-building monk to fight?"
The other judges shook their heads and said loudly.
In their opinion, Zhou Ling had no chance of defeating He Jing.
"Is this Jin Dan's offensive?!"
At this moment, Zhou Ling, who was on the competition stage, glanced at him, and when he touched his hand, the beast flames flew out from his hand, turning into a dazzling Haoyang bird, and blasted towards the flame net!
"Fourth Grade Spiritual Flame!"
The next scene made He Jing's face instantly cloudy.
I saw that the beast flames that shot out were not suppressed by his giant flame net at all.
Like a dazzling golden sun, it spun violently and was shattered by the bombardment of the giant web of flames.
After breaking through the giant flame net, the power of the beast flames did not seem to be weakened much.
It is true that this giant flame net is just a casual blow he used to test Zhou Ling, but the power contained in it is not something that ordinary early-stage golden elixir monks can handle!
But it was easily blocked by the fourth-grade spirit flame in Zhou Ling's hand.
“Interesting!”
He Jing chuckled.
"Flame Dragon!"
He Jing put his hands together and pushed out solemnly.
Suddenly, a giant flame dragon condensed out of thin air in the sky, tens of feet long. As the flames rose, a field of fire was formed.
This is the power of the golden elixir monks, who can condense it instantly when they cast spells.
This is definitely not something that a foundation-building monk can do.
Facing the terrifying power emanating from the Fire Realm, Zhou Ling was not afraid at all, as the beast flames hovered in the sky.
At the same time, the earth spirit and earth fire roared out from the body.
A cloud of earth-red fire condensed in the sky, and soon turned into a turtle shell-like shield, covering him.
Nowadays, Earth Spirit Earth Fire is already at the top level of the third level, not far from the fourth level.
Not to mention anything else, the defensive power is extremely strong, and it is enough to block the attack of the peak golden elixir.
The next moment, the ferocious fire dragon slammed into the earthly fire.
Boom!
There was a roar of thunder, and the earth, spirit and earth fire remained motionless.
But the entire void seemed to be reflected in deep red.
"Absolutely impossible!"
Seeing Zhou Ling abandoning the beast flames and letting his fire dragon bombard the earth turtle's flame mask, He Jing's face was filled with unbelievable shock.
On the one hand, it was because of the two powerful spiritual flames in Zhou Ling's hands.
And he really didn't believe that a foundation-building monk could control two almost fourth-grade spiritual flames at the same time.
But as his spiritual consciousness swept over him, he was 100% sure that Zhou Ling was at the peak of foundation building cultivation.
At this moment, he was a little surprised. These two attacks, which had reached 80% of his strength, were blocked so easily by Zhou Ling.
It really overturned his decades-long understanding.
It stands to reason that no matter how powerful a foundation-building monk is, it is impossible to block his attack with Dan Domain.
But Zhou Ling found something strange and actually used spiritual flames to fight.
The key is how he managed to control these two spiritual flames at the same time?
"No wonder Zhou Jiaoxi was able to become the Chief of the Tiangong Department at such a young age. It turns out that he has such amazingly powerful spiritual flames!"
Dean Lin looked at the two spiritual flames surrounding Zhou Ling and said in a surprised tone.
The power of these two spiritual flames alone is enough to keep Zhou Ling from falling behind when facing most Jindan monks.
He and Dean Palace were not in a hurry to take action.
After all, Zhou Ling's strength is too low.
If they decide the winner soon.
Then he and Dean Palace no longer need to fight.
After all, in a two-on-one situation, Dean Gong has absolutely no chance of winning.
It would seem that Zhou Ling was planning to use these two spiritual flames and He Jingxiao.
So he and Dean Gong also want to take action.
"Dean Palace, please give me some advice!"
Dean Lin cupped his hands towards Dean Gong.
"Dean Lin, please!"
Dean Palace also smiled and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his momentum soared into the sky, and a green sword light roared out from his body. The Green Wood Sword Domain turned into a river of swords and slashed towards his opponent.
She entered the four realms of swordsmanship, used the sword of heaven and earth, and developed a clear sword mind. She could clearly feel that Dean Lin's strength did not pose any threat to her.
Even if He Jing is added, she can win alone.
But this is a good opportunity to train Zhou Ling.
And the opponents will become stronger and stronger later.
So we have to retain enough strength to go further.
"Four Realms Sword Domain?"
Feeling the Qinghe Sword Domain, Dean Lin's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious.
Unexpectedly, Dean Gong not only entered the realm of Yuanying, but also reached the fourth realm of swordsmanship.
You know, because of Zhou Ling's cultivation, Qingyun Immortal City's Jiutian Sword Academy is considered the weakest.
Yesterday he knew how happy he was when he faced them.
But now my heart feels so heavy.
He Jing, who originally thought he would win, was surrounded by two flames and did not show any obvious advantage.
As for a Four Realm Sword Cultivator, he has no chance of winning.
Now he can only hold on and wait until He Jing suffers huge losses and Zhou Ling comes to help.
Dean Lin's expression was solemn, and with a little click in his hand, a giant black ruler condensed into a beam of light a hundred feet long, and bombarded towards the Jianhe River.
But the next moment, there was a fierce confrontation with Qing Jianhe.
The black ruler suddenly collapsed and became dim in an instant.
"What, her sword attack is so powerful?"
The concentrated attack of the fourth-order black ruler was broken instantly, and Dean Lin immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
