“According to the sect’s rules, only the strongest has the right to become an Elder, and naturally, proving who is the strongest requires a battle.” Mu Xiong, the Third Elder, glanced at the masters, especially the three with the highest cultivation levels.“Do we really still need proof? I’m clearly the strongest among all of you.” Long Fu, the master of the Dragon Martial Courtyard, smiled faintly.The old man had always been confident in his strength. He was indeed old, but in terms of experience and power, age was not an obstacle for him at all.“Old man, what do you mean by that? You think I would lose to you?” Jiu Bai looked at Long Fu with dissatisfaction.“Haven’t you always lost against me?”“That was ten years ago, the last time we fought. The result won’t be the same this time.” Jiu Bai had no intention of giving up the Elder position so easily.There were many advantages to becoming an Elder. Aside from receiving abundant resources every month, one would also obtain a supp

The sect tournament was the event most eagerly anticipated by all the disciples, especially the inner disciples and core disciples. Outer disciples themselves had no chance of participating, because the minimum cultivation required to enter was the initial-stage Martial King realm, while the maximum was the late-stage Martial King realm. Meanwhile, the outer disciples only possessed cultivation at the Martial Spirit realm and below. The Starry Sky Sect’s tournament was unlike ordinary tournaments, where everyone who registered would simply be matched against one another until the strongest person claimed first place. The sect tournament was divided into three categories based on cultivation levels: initial stage, middle stage, and late stage. A disciple at the initial-stage Martial King realm would naturally be unable to defeat someone at the middle stage, just as someone at the middle stage would have no chance against a late-stage Martial King. Therefore, to make the tournament

The first battle in the third arena immediately presented an exciting match — the future sect master candidate against the genius from the Blue Flame Martial Hall.As the battle began, Ming Zhao and Mu Yang charged forward at the same time.Fan and spear collided, creating powerful gusts of wind accompanied by scattered blue sparks of flame flying in every direction.They exchanged several clashes in midair before launching attacks that sent both of them flying backward.Landing at the same time, Ming Zhao waved his fan several times, releasing waves of wind blades.Mu Yang cut through all the wind blades before launching a counterattack.The two fought seriously, neither underestimating the other. They exchanged various attacks, causing damage throughout the arena, although only minimal damage since the arena floor was made from materials strong enough to withstand the impact of Martial King battles.At first, they appeared evenly matched, with neither side dominating the other. Howe

Chu Yan’s battle against Dong Fang continued fiercely.Chu Yan was struck several times, but he suffered no injuries. He deliberately acted as though he was being pushed back because Xiang Yue was currently watching. If he dominated too much without seriously injuring or killing Dong Fang, that woman would become suspicious.Dong Fang was also hit by Chu Yan’s attacks several times, and unlike Chu Yan, he was actually injured. Chu Yan possessed physical durability comparable to a Martial Emperor.As time passed, Chu Yan appeared increasingly cornered until he finally used the Blazing Flame Heart Technique. In truth, he already possessed a perfected version of the technique, but he chose to use this one because he did not want to reveal his Star Flame, and this technique alone was already enough to defeat Dong Fang.Flames enveloped Chu Yan’s entire body, causing his speed and strength to rise drastically. The one who had initially been suppressed now managed to suppress Dong Fang inst

Wang Chen successfully won his match against Hong Liu without inflicting any serious injuries or killing his opponent.He had already planned out the entire scenario. The final kick he delivered released a shockwave from the rune engraved on his boots, sending a powerful impact into Hong Liu's head and knocking him unconscious in a single strike.At the same time, he was blown away by Hong Liu's attack, leaving him with no opportunity to launch another strike and finish Hong Liu off."Ah..." Long Fu sighed as he watched his disciple lose due to his own carelessness.He knew very well that Hong Liu had not even revealed his full strength, yet he had been defeated so easily—especially by a disciple from the Bamboo Martial Courtyard.'I remember that boy when he first joined the sect. I should have taken him from Xiang Yue by force instead of letting him go so easily.'For the first time, Long Fu regretted his decision not to put more effort into recruiting Wang Chen."Heheh, well? My di
