Pak! Pak! Pak!
Ling Jie waved a black and gold whip.
The power of dao realm was attached to the long whip, causing astral qi to surge and explode with muffled sounds.
This black gold whip was a secret treasure.
It was not given to her by Xu Ning, but by the family behind Ling Jie.
Ling Jie had been using this black gold whip for many years, so she had long mastered it.
The disciple on the opposite side did not back down.
13 flying knives circled around him.
One of the flying knives was a secret treasure, while the other 12 knives were first-class dao weapons.
The flying knives were arranged into groups, and under the control of the disciple on the opposite side, they formed a flying knife formation that attacked Ling Jie fiercely.
For a moment, the two were evenly matched. Neither side could tear apart the other’s defenses.
“Can Ling Jie hold on…”
Behind Xu Ning, Bian Huang was a little nervous. He looked at Ling Jie with genuine concern in his eyes.
Bian Huang and Ling Jie were similar in age, and they had practiced under Xu Ning for so long, so the two had long developed feelings for each other.

Therefore, when Ling Jie’s battle was in a stalemate, he was a little nervous.
“It’s no problem, Ling Jie will definitely win.”
At this moment, Fang Youli replied.
Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. Fang Youli thought the same as he did.
“Why do you think Ling Jie will definitely win?”
Bian Huang asked Fang Youli.
Fang Youli crossed his arms in front of his chest. “A feeling.”
“Although I can’t specifically sense the strength and weakness of the two, I can feel that although the two are evenly matched, Ling Jie’s strength is still stable, as if she is waiting for the final critical hit. Although her opponent’s aura is fierce, he always has a sense of weakness. It’s like an arrow at the end of its flight, but he still has to hold on.”
Fang Youli said.
“Senior Brother Fang, why don’t I feel the same?”
Bian Huang tilted his head and looked at Fang Youli. “I even think Ling Jie is at a disadvantage?”
Fang Youli glanced at him and said, “Then you have felt wrong.”
Xu Ning heard his words and the corners of his lips curled up.
Fang Youli was right.
‘To be able to sense the enemy’s weakness so clearly, this ability is extremely terrifying…’
Xu Ning glanced at Fang Youli secretly. ‘If he can sense the enemy’s state at any time in actual combat, then he will have a huge advantage in combat.’
Sure enough, not long after, the situation inside the barrier changed.
The disciple on the opposite side controlled the flying knife formation and attacked Ling Jie again.
But Ling Jie suddenly changed her defensive state. The black gold whip was like a black python as it rushed towards the disciple on the opposite side.
The disciple quickly controlled the flying knives to defend, but he was still a step too late.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Ling Jie’s black gold whip lashed out more than a dozen times.
More than a dozen astral qi exploded in front of the disciple’s chest.
The disciple’s mouth was bleeding, his face pale. He wanted to counterattack, but Ling Jie’s black gold whip was already wrapped around his neck.
As long as Ling Jie exerted more force, his head would be cut off.
“Victory has been decided!”
Before the disciple on the opposite side could admit defeat, Elder Wei announced the result outside the barrier.
After hearing the result of her victory, Ling Jie finally smiled.
She did not embarrass her master in the first fight.
“Excuse me.”
Ling Jie put away the black gold whip.
“My skills were inferior, you are impressive.”
The disciple sighed and returned Ling Jie’s courtesy.
Afterwards, Ling Jie walked out of the barrier and walked to the front of Xu Ning.
Confidence began to appear on her face.
“Ling Jie, well done.”
Xu Ning was not stingy with his praise.
“Thank you, Master.”
After being praised by Xu Ning, Ling Jie’s smile widened.
Afterwards, Ling Jie stood behind Xu Ning.
She began to calm down. Ling Jie knew that this was only the beginning. There would definitely be more difficult challenges ahead.
“The second battle, Bian Huang you are up.”
Xu Ning said.
“Yes, Master.”
Bian Huang strode into the barrier.
This time, his opponent was only in the dao realm second stage.
After greeting each other, he took out his longsword secret treasure and fought against his opponent.
In just a dozen breaths, the opponent was defeated.
It was indeed difficult to win with a difference in realm.
After all, not everyone could do what Xu Ning did. Ever since he began practicing martial arts, he had always been able to fight opponents above his realm.
“Xu Ning’s side wins!”
Elder Wei announced the result again.
“You let me win!”
Bian Huang cupped his fists and left the barrier.
After the two fights ended, Xu Ning had eliminated Fan Xingjian.
Fan Xingjian, who was disqualified, could only sighed slightly, but he was not too disappointed.
After all, this result was expected.
“Next, Yu Qiao against Duan Chaomian!”
Elder Wei announced the next match.
Duan Huiyao and Duan Huiye, who had calm expressions just now, also glanced sideways.
The two looked at each other, then looked at the barrier.
In fact, Duan Huiye was the one who suggested the content of the final assessment.
With regards to this, Duan Huiyao was conflicted. He could clearly see that this rule was beneficial to Duan Chaomian.
However, Duan Huiyao finally compromised under Duan Huiye’s advice.
“Begin!”
Duan Chaomian and Yu Qiao both sent out their disciples that were groomed by them.
Pei Bing, who was in the fourth stage of dao realm, was not sent up by Duan Chaomian immediately.
The two disciples on the stage began to fight.
‘The foundations of both of these two disciples are not bad…’
Xu Ning was also paying attention to the fight inside the barrier.
Now that he was watching the fight between the two, he could observe the details of their fight in advance, or even wait for them to force out each other’s trump cards.
In that case, they would gain an advantage in information for the next few battles.
‘But it seems that Duan Chaomian’s disciple is still stronger…’
Xu Ning thought to himself.
The strength of the two on the stage was similar to Bian Huang and Ling Jie.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The fight inside the barrier was quite intense.
After a long time, Yu Qiao’s disciple revealed a flaw, and it was caught by Duan Chaomian’s disciple.
Afterwards, the situation inside turned quickly. In just a few breaths, Duan Chaomian’s disciple won the first round.
Afterwards, the second disciple from both sides went on stage.
Even now, Pei Bing still did not appear.
Yu Qiao’s expression was a little solemn at this moment.
She had already sent out her strongest disciple.
Yu Qiao originally planned for this disciple to fight against Pei Bing at the end, but now it seemed that if she didn’t let him come out now, there would be no third fight.
Even if she was going to lose, she had to win at least one round.
Compared to Yu Qiao’s seriousness, Duan Chaomian was much more relaxed.
He knew very well that even if he lost this round, as long as Pei Bing went on stage, the final result would be his victory.
Pei Bing was his greatest trump card.
