The gathering of these weaklings is nothing more than a ragtag bunch. Lin Hao, two minor realms above his enemies, charged into their ranks as if entering an uninhabited nd.

  Bang, bang, bang!

  The cultivators were kicked away like little piglets.

  Iime it takes for a stick of inse to burn, Lin Hao had repelled all his enemies, emerging as the final victor.

  On the spectator ptform, the sect's leaders, along with the peak masters and elders from various peaks, occasionally g the chaotic battle among a hundred people while chatting leisurely.

  "Hmm? Which peak's disciple is this?"

  A voluptuous aiful woman slightly furrowed her brows. She was the peak master of Little Bamboo Peak.

  As a peak master, she was well aware of the outstanding outer sect disciples from each peak, sier the petition, the peaks could vie for the talents.

  The voluptuous beauty was thhly familiar with this year's talented disciples.

  Wang Jingzhan from Ethereal Peak and Leng Feng from Falling Goose Peak were both on the verge of reag Foundatioablishment. As for others, her own peak's Fang Yuan and Cui Qing'er... it ity for their old neighbreat Bamboo Peak.

  inally, they had two talented female cultivators, Li Qiushui and Yueming.

  However, one had a breakthrough failure and fell in realm, while the other advao the Foundatioablishment stage, leaving Great Bamboo Peak without a leading figure.

  The peak master of Great Bamboo Peak, Feng gyue, was extremely beautiful, with eyes like autumn water, skin fairer than snow, and a figure that was unparalleled. Her shoulders were as if carved, her waist slender, and her hips curvaceous, exuding a subtle mature charm that was utterly captivating.

  She wore a simple brocade pace dress, draped with a light purple gauze. As the breeze blew, the gauze fluttered, giving her ahereal aura.

  Her long bck hair was styled into a simple sky bun, adorned with an unassuming-looking hairpin.

  However, from the envious gaze of the voluptuous beauty, it was clear that the hairpin was very precious.

  The charming woman sighed softly, feeling that Great Bamboo Peak would be embarrassed in this outer sepetition...

  Embarrassment was sedary; the main issue was that this petition also involved the allocation of cultivation resources among the peaks.

  "Sister Feng, do yhis young man?" The voluptuous beauty poi Lin Hao, who was dispying great prowess, and asked.

  "Sister Murong, this young man looks unfamiliar to me. I don't know which peak he belongs to."

  "Alright then."

  Murong Qinxue immediately sent a message to her subordinates, instrug them to iigate.

  After a while, her subordinates reported back, and Murong Qinxue's expression turned peculiar.

  A disciple of Great Bamboo Peak? Sister Feng doesn't reize him, seems like a dark horse. Perhaps there's a ce to recruit him to Little Bamboo Peak.

  Lin Hao was unaware that he had caught the attention of a peak master. He was currently holding his senior sister's slender waist, fag off against Jiang Mingfei.

  "Brat, take your filthy hands off her."

  Jiang Mingfei had a strong affe for Li Qiushui, pursuing her openly aly, but never receiving a favorable response. Yet this ice-cold beauty was now behaving like a little woman, allowing a man to hold her willow-like waist.

  Jealousy, he was insanely jealous.

  "My senior sister and I are Dao panions. I hold her if I want. What business is it of yours?"

  "You..."

  Jiang Mingfei's face turned alternately green and white, and he said angrily, "Brat, just you wait, we'll see!"

  "I'll be waiting for you."

  Li Qiushui wasn't used to being embraced by a man in public. After Jiang Mingfei left, she broke free from Lin Hao's embrace.

  Her brows arched, and she said softly, "Junior brother, you've ged. You used to focus solely on secluded cultivation, avoiding trouble whenever possible.

  But now you're actively provoking someo the Great Perfe of Qi Refining. The ge is quite drastic."

  Uh... Senior sister makes a good point, this isn't like me.

  Lin Hao pondered, realizing that ever since he could grow strohrough dual cultivation, his approach to things had ged signifitly. When he o be steady, he was as steady as an old dog, and when he o be fmboyant, he was the best in the world.

  Perhaps, this was his true nature.

  Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality, if in the end, one doesn't dare to do this or that, even if one achieves loy, what's the point?

  Utterly b!

  He caught up with his senior sister, grabbing her small hand without a word, and said domineeringly, "Tomorrow is the arena petition, I want to spar with you, senior sister, to warm up."

  "Bah, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Li Qiushui spat lightly, her cheeks blushing like peach blossoms.

  That night, Lin Hao and his senior sister sparred seven times before feeling tired.

  He slept until the sun was high in the sky before leisurely heading to the venue for the outer sepetition.

  The reason he wasn't in a hurry was that his match was iernoon.

  In this petition, a total of y-six people advao the arena stage, and it would take a day to determihe top forty-eight.

  Lin Hao's first oppo was a young girl at the eighth level of Qi Refining. She had a gentle appearand a very slender figure, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

  Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, giving her a pitiful look.

  With this i expression a strength, she successfully made it to the arena stage.

  She tried the same trick, hoping to lower her oppo's guard and then unch a surprise attack.

  However, Lin Hao wasn't buying it at all. Having ied more with his senior sister and Cui Qing'er retly, his aesthetic threshold had skyrocketed. A delicate beauty like his oppo couldn't move his heart at all.

  Even if he were truly moved, he would abandon such thoughts. pared to immortality, beauty was just a fleeting illusion.

  Boom!

  He charged like an uhed sword, carrying an overwhelming aura of sughter, attag his oppo.

  The woman's expression ged, and failing to py the pity card, she had to hastily defend herself. However, the gap in their realms led to her being crushed.

  Bang!

  Lin Hao puhe woman off the arena without aation, leaving the spectators stunned.

  "This... this guy is ruthless, showing no mercy to a pitiful beauty."

  "Yeah... yeah, that punch shattered my heart."

  "Who is this guy? I want to challenge him privately, to avenge my dear Fairy Lian Yue!"

  "This ruthless guy is at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and you're just a little cultivator at the seventh level. Challenging him is like looking for death with a ntern in a trine!"

  After defeating his oppo, Lin Hao didn't even break a sweat. was Cui Qing'er's match, so he stayed to watch.

  Her battle ended quickly as well, without much effort, she defeated her oppo. With Li Qiushui by her side, she didn't greet Lin Hao but sent him a message to discuss a deal.

  That night.

  g to serve energy, Lin Hao left his senior sister's cave dwelling auro his own pce.

  Cui Qing'er seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, her clothes slightly disheveled, her eyes gleaming.

  This woman had developed a taste for it!

  Lin Hao silently mocked in his heart and asked knowingly, "Weren't you here for a deal? Where's the person?"

  Cui Qing'er gave him a sultry look and said coquettishly, "Does a deal have to involve a person? I brought you two pieces of news, do you want to hear them?"

  "Let's hear it."

  "One good, one bad. Whie do you want to hear first?"

  "Let's start with the bad news."

  Cui Qing'er showed a knowing expression and began to speak.

  "Wang Jingzhan and Leng Feng have reached Foundatioablishment. The outside world believes that the champion will be one of them."

  That really is bad news. Lin Hao's sword-like brows slightly raised.

  "And the good news?"

  "Well... well... I'm about to reach Foundatioablishment too, and I need you~"

  Cui Qing'er felt she was just a step away from Foundatioablishment, perhaps needing ten days to half a month of intense cultivation.

  But following the usual cultivation path, she feared she wouldn't make it in time for the petition. So she came to Lin Hao to 'cultivate.'

  Cultivating with Lin Hao was much faster thaating alone.

  Damn, why do I feel like I'm being used for free...

  Lin Hao eechless and said, "You reag Foundatioablishment isn't good news for me. My ranking will drop by one."

  "How a big man like you be so petty?" Cui Qing'er rolled her eyes charmingly and tinued, "You humiliated me during the Demo Hunting petition, and I've been pnning to get back at you. If you help me, I won't seek revenge."

  "Hurry up, I 't wait any longer~"

  With that, Cui Qing'er made her move.
