Liang Long finally shut up, and Songzi also couldn't take it anymore. He thought of his own words earlier and felt his face burning with shame. He had said he wanted to try out Lin Ming's skills on the stage, but now looking at him, he was afraid that if he really went on stage, his outcome would be similar to Jiang Bin's. Liang Long was indeed stronger than Jiang Bin, but not by much.

  Is this really a peak Bone Forging martial artist? At least he has the strength of a mid-stage Qi Condensation martial artist.

  Liang Long swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but take a glance at Zhou Yu beside him, only to see Zhou Yu's face as calm as water, with a gloomy gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

  Qinzi's eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded almost imperceptibly, the smile on his face unable to conceal this fact. Lin Ming's power had increased too much after this trip outside for training; if it were two months ago when Lin Ming was only at the Loose Marrow stage, he absolutely wouldn't be Jiang Bin's match.

  "Haha, this kid might still have an ace up his sleeve, I'm really looking forward to it." Sun Youdao stroked his beard with a smile on his face. At his age and level of cultivation, he had given up hope of making a breakthrough himself, so being able to bring out outstanding students was the greatest comfort for Sun Youdao.

  Lin Ming Sheng!

  The referee elder of the competition was also stunned for a while before announcing the result. As an elder of the Qi Xuan Wu Fu, he clearly knew Jiang Bin's strength. Although his cultivation was at the peak of Tempering Bone, he could completely exchange blows with the weakest Condensing Pulse warrior without falling behind.

  But now being defeated by Lin Ming in one move, doesn't this mean that Lin Ming can at least instantly kill the weakest of the Congealing Void stage warriors? Peak Bone Forging instantly killing Congealing Void, what kind of concept is this?

  Will he be able to kill himself instantly when he reaches the Condensation Period?

  The judge looked at Lin Ming deeply and announced: "The second game, Ling Sen vs Zhao Jifeng!"

  The second match is about to start, and Jiang Bin has already been knocked into the losers' group. However, judging from his situation, entering the losers' group is also a waste of time for him. He won't be able to make it into the top two anymore.

  "It's your turn now." Tuo Ku sighed and patted Ling Sen's shoulder, "It seems that this time the total sect martial arts competition I have no hope of going, I am definitely not your match, now look at Lin Ming, I am still far behind, alas, after graduation I plan to join the army."

  Although Takashi shook his head and sighed, there was still a smile on his face, and he wasn't particularly discouraged. In fact, as early as when Lin Ming returned, Takashi knew that Lin Ming's cultivation had reached the peak of Bone Forging, he had already sensed that he wouldn't be Lin Ming's opponent. He just didn't expect the gap to be so big.

  "Uh, I'll join the army after graduation too, it's more suitable for me." Ling Sen silently drew out his heavy sword, he didn't have a scabbard, the heavy sword was always on his back. He used this method to constantly hone his coordination with the sword, ultimately reaching the realm of unity between man and sword.

  "Lao Ling, dealing with Lin Ming can only rely on you, I think you still have a way to beat him." Tuo Ku said to Ling Sen from afar.

  Ling Sen remained silent, if he were to say that Lin Ming's true strength was just now. He could indeed put up a good fight, and might even win, but would this be Lin Ming's true strength?

  He is likely to have many more aces up his sleeve that he has yet to play.

  Unfathomable!

  This is what Lingsen feels about Lin Ming at this moment.

  Ling Sen took the stage, immediately drawing the attention of all the spectators. This was the eldest senior brother of the Seven Xuanwu Sect's Tianfu, a position he had held for years. Neither Zhang Guanyu nor Tuo Ku were his match. But just how strong Ling Sen was, no one knew. All they knew was that it was rumored he could defeat even the weakest Condensing Pulse stage martial artist with ease, using only his Easy Muscle Peak strength.

  Now that Lin Sen has broken through the Tempering Marrow stage, what kind of height will his strength reach?

  Everyone's heart is filled with anticipation, including Lin Ming, who is also paying extra attention. Ling Sen's cultivation has progressed slowly, but he has taken one step at a time, accumulating energy for a breakthrough.

  Ling Sen's Shura Martial Intent doesn't contribute much to cultivation, but in terms of training a warrior's combat strength, it can be brought out to the extreme.

  This is far beyond the spiritual martial arts of the Empty Spirit Sect.

  Ling Sen.

  On the martial arts arena, Ling Sen silently gazed at his opponent, announcing his own name, with a cold killing intent in his voice, which was honed from countless killings in the Shura Martial Intent.

  "The Zhao family, Zhao Jifeng!" Zhao Jifeng's voice was somewhat small as he introduced himself. After his companions were defeated, Zhao Jifeng also lost the confidence he had earlier and didn't have a grasp on Ling Sen at all.

  "Damn it, Lin Ming is a freak, I'm definitely not his match. I mustn't lose to Ling Sen again, or the Total Cultivation Technique will be useless." Zhao Jifeng muttered to himself, gripping the thick-backed knife in his hand even tighter.

  Although he didn't expect to achieve anything in the General Assembly of Martial Arts, Zhou Yu from the Zhou family and Liang Long from the Liang family both participated in the martial arts assembly. If he were to be eliminated, it would be a shame for his family, and afterwards, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up high within his family.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Jifeng gritted his teeth and went all out!

  The judge walked up onto the stage and loudly declared: "I won't repeat the rules, the competition is now starting!"

  As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jifeng rushed out in one step, and the thick-backed knife in his hand flashed with a black light like ink. The knife body was dragged, and this light actually dragged to more than ten feet long. The knife light was arc-shaped, and from a distance, it looked like a huge black moon suddenly descended upon the earth.

  "Descending Moon Slash!"

  Zhao Jifeng let out a loud roar, his hands tightly gripping the thick-backed knife as he brought it down in a vicious slash towards Ling Sen! This one strike blocked out the sunlight, as if night had fallen.

  Ling Sen's gaze condensed, and he swung out the heavy sword in his hand. His sword swing was very slow, and it was even slower than Zhao Jifeng's Falling Moon Slash. Just as their swords were about to intersect, a baffling scene unfolded.

  Zhao Jifeng's body suddenly paused for a moment, while Ling Sen's sword swung in front of Zhao Jifeng's eyes.

  "Bang!"

  A crisp and unparalleled sound rang out, Zhao Jifeng's Half Moon Slash was like a huge glass hit by a cone, shattering into countless small black fragments!

  Zhao Jifeng's body shook violently, and he fell from mid-air like a sack of rice, heavily crashing onto the ground. He hadn't been struck by Ling Sen's sword energy, nor had he suffered any external injuries, and there was no blood in his mouth, but after falling to the ground, it seemed as though he couldn't get up again.

  Ling Sen put the heavy sword back on his back and turned around to leave, without even giving Zhao Jifeng a glance.

  The audience was stunned. Ling Sen's sword had clearly not landed on Zhao Jifeng, so how could he have been knocked to the ground?

  Liang Long, Zhou Yu and others didn't understand, Lin Ming slightly furrowed his brow. His soul force was strong, and his sensitivity far surpassed that of ordinary people. Just now, he faintly felt that Ling Sen seemed to have released a substantial killing intent into Zhao Jifeng's body, causing internal injuries!

  "Ling Sen wins the second set!"

  The judge ordered someone to check Zhao Jifeng's condition and found that he was fine, then had a few people carry him away.

  As soon as the referee announced, the whole field was in an uproar. This... this is victory? One move settled it, without even touching Zhao Jifeng, what's going on?

  Listening to the excited discussions of the surrounding audience, Liang Long and Zhou Yu's faces were somewhat unbearable. They now even heaved a sigh of relief that not many people recognized them, naturally they also didn't know their identities as core disciples of the Xiuwu Family, otherwise they would really have to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

  Two consecutive games, all descendants of the two big families were eliminated, and they were even defeated in one move!

  Lin Ming is formidable, but how can Ling Sen be so abnormal!? The strength of Liang Long and Zhou Yu may not be much stronger than Zhao Jifeng and Jiang Bin, it's just that whether Lin Ming or Ling Sen, they can instantly take care of them.

  ……

  "This Ling Sen really gave me a surprise." Qinzhi Ya looked at Ling Sen's back, secretly shocked. He had thought that Ling Sen wouldn't be Lin Ming's match, but now it seemed the two would have a good fight!

  "It must be the aura of slaughter! Ling Sen is emotionless and desireless, with only slaughter in his heart. This is the demon of his martial arts heart, but also his best weapon. The killing intent has solidified into a tangible form, to the point where it can directly attack. Previously, Zhao Jifeng's action was delayed for a moment, precisely because he was forced by Ling Sen's killing intent and couldn't bring out his strength."

  Sun Youdao lived for over a hundred years, although his personal strength was not top-notch, but he had extremely rich experience and could see through Ling Sen's attacking method at a glance.

  "Moreover, Ling Sen has condensed this killing intent around him, forming a domain-like killing intent guard. If one's strength is insufficient, they can't even break through his killing intent guard! To be able to create such a technique, Ling Sen's comprehension is truly impressive! No wonder his strength has increased so rapidly! I haven't paid attention to Ling Sen in these few years, and unexpectedly, his strength has grown to this extent!"

  "Haha, this is getting interesting. I thought Lin Ming's battle with Ling Sen would be one-sided, but now it's actually suspenseful. Who do you think will win?"

  Qinzi shook her head, "I don't know, in the previous battle, both Ling Sen and Lin Ming didn't use their full strength. It's just a test of who has more hidden power and who has a stronger trump card. This time when we go to the General Sect, I plan to make an exception and ask the General Sect to let Ling Sen become a core disciple. Alas, it's a pity for Ling Sen, everything is good except that his martial arts talent is average and his cultivation progress is too slow..."

  Ling Sen is now 21 years old, only in the tempering bone stage. It will take at least 24 or 25 years to reach the condensing pulse stage, and by then he will be over 30 years old. By the time he reaches his peak in the acquired stage, he will probably be 40 or 50 years old, which means he will have missed the best opportunity to break through to the innate stage.

  With the end of the first round of Ling Sen's war, the preliminary round entered the second round.

  Lin Ming is about to collide with Ling Sen and Takashi, the audience in the entire arena recalls Ling Sen's crushing victory just now, and they are all extremely excited.

  The Tianyun country has added another top-notch master, and what's most exciting is that the next match will be between Ling Sen and Lin Ming!

  This is a battle of dragons and tigers! Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil with excitement!

  Even the two generals present were excited beyond measure, having reached their position after countless life-and-death struggles and experiencing all sorts of hardships, it was rare for anything to excite them anymore.

  But at this moment, they found the passion that only existed when they were young. The collision of two top geniuses, who will win and who will lose?

  Town National Marshal Qin Xiao also likes Lin Ming more and more, if it weren't for his granddaughter having said so before, he wouldn't consider marrying before the heavenly fate, he was thinking about whether he could get Lin Ming to be his grandson-in-law.
