Lin Ming turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was surprisingly Jiang Lansheng. Although they hadn't interacted much, Lin Ming could roughly sense that Jiang Lansheng was a person with extremely high standards, and it wasn't easy for someone to be called "genius" by him.

  Lin Ming smiled, "Interesting, the first round was a battle of wits, and this second round is indeed a gathering of masters!"

  Jiang Lanshan looked at Lin Ming with a hint of surprise and said, "Your team's strength is quite formidable, but you seem to be very confident?"

  Seven groups of masters have Fang Qi, Bi Ting Hua, Jing Yu, Zi Ling and Lin Ming, a total of five people competing for three places. Among them, Fang Qi has secured one place, while Jiang Lan Jian thought Lin Ming would show a serious expression, but unexpectedly he was still smiling, which means either he gave up on the competition for the first team or he is extremely confident in his own strength, and Jiang Lan Jian felt that Lin Ming was the latter.

  "Jing Yu and Zi Ling, who do you think will win?" Lin Ming asked Jiang Lianjian.

  Jiang Lan shook his head, "They didn't show their full strength in the previous matches and all won with a perfect score, I also can't predict."

  On average, four to five people from each group advanced with a perfect record. Lin Ming's seventh group had Fang Qi, Bi Ting Hua, Jing Xian Yu, Zi Ling and Lin Ming as the five winners with perfect records.

  However, after this group of matches, at most two people will be left undefeated.

  The two were talking in the process, and the battle in the field had already begun.

  This was an extremely strange battle, the audience couldn't see where Ziling was from start to finish, they could only see the light blades that were like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, dazzling their eyes.

  Lin Ming relied on his powerful perception, but he could see clearly that Zilian had swung her hand and released six light blades. These light blades seemed to be emitted randomly, but each one was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Condensation Period warrior.

  Due to its high speed, the light blade drew out a string of rainbow shadows. The sharp and piercing whistling sound also made people's scalps numb.

  "Wielding the power of light is truly extraordinary." Lin Ming could feel that although the Light Blade's attack was primarily based on True Essence, it indeed contained a rich and dense element of light. This was a mysterious power that was even more elusive than the seven natural elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

  In the blink of an eye, there were already thirty-six light blades in the air. These light blades whizzed through the air, but did not attack Jing Yuanyu. At this moment, Ziling suddenly clapped her hands together and shouted: "Thirty-six Light Blades Absolute Kill!"

  With this clear shout, thirty-six rays of light blades suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Jing Yu together.

  Facing the blade of light with no blind spots, Jing Yu held up her hands and a soft glow emanated from her chest. A thick eggshell-like shield appeared around her body.

  "Hahaha!"

  The light blade shot out of the thick halo and encountered a huge resistance, its speed greatly reduced. At the same time, the edge of the light blade was also quickly melted away by the light shield.

  "Mei Zen Senba no Te."

  Jing Xianyu flipped her hands over, and a string of finger shadows condensed on her fingertips, covering the sky and earth.

  "Boom!"

  Zi Ling let out a muffled hum, having been hiding in the distorted light all along. She was directly forced out by Jing Yu's virtual large hand, who held a shining sword of light and had a shocked expression on her face.

  "Defeat!"

  Jing Xian's ruby lips lightly opened, and she hummed a low note. A large golden handprint condensed in front of her. "Ming Chan's Bao Ru Palm!"

  "Boom!"

  A huge golden handprint was pressed onto Ziling's body, the lightsaber in Ziling's hand snapped, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her body flew backward and heavily crashed into the protective shield.

  "Stillness is better than jade!"

  As soon as the referee announced, the audience had not yet recovered from their shock. From the start to the end of the game, only a short span of ten breaths had passed.

  Jing Yu only used three moves, one defensive and two offensive. After the third move, Zi Ling was defeated! And Jing Yu didn't even take a step back, her veil hanging lightly on her face didn't even flutter in the wind. From start to finish, Jing Yu was calm and composed.

  Zi Ling is not an unknown person, she was chosen as the core disciple of Huan Zong since childhood, with a shocking talent. In the previous General Assembly martial arts competition, she ranked 56th. This time, she won all her matches in the group stage and was expected to enter the top 30, but lost to Jing Yu! And it was within three moves!

  This quiet and elegant jade is too powerful!

  Jiang Lan's sword eyebrows raised slightly, Jing Yu and Zi Ling, whoever wins, he won't be surprised. What surprises him is that Jing Yu won with an overwhelming advantage, proving that she already has the strength to impact the top twenty!

  If she really made it into the top twenty, that would be a character in itself. As Jiang Lansheng knew, Jing Cuiyu was not very old and could still participate in the General Assembly of Wu three years later.

  By then, her popularity might surpass Zhang Yan's this time!

  If one can charge into the top ten as a disciple of the Thirty-six Countries, it would be enough to leave a mark in the annals of the Seven Mysteries Sect, this is an extraordinary achievement!

  Moreover... Jing Yu had a twin brother, Jing Shi. Presumably, Jing Shi's strength wouldn't be much weaker than Jing Yu's. In a small country like Jing Zhuo, two disciples emerged at the same time, both of whom might break into the top ten of the Total Sect in three years. This was something that hadn't happened in a hundred years!

  Jiang Lansword couldn't help but glance at Lin Ming beside him, only to see that Lin Ming's expression remained calm and collected, although he might have been slightly surprised by Jing Yu's strength, but clearly didn't worry about himself.

  What a confident guy! This session of the General Assembly has something to look forward to, with 36 countries and 16 martial arts families, four extraordinary geniuses have emerged one after another: Zhang Yan Zhao, Jing Zhuang twins, and Lin Ming. Moreover, among them, Jing Zhuang twins and Lin Ming are still young, so there is still a lot of room for development in the next General Assembly...

  Thinking of this, Jiang Lans sword suddenly twitched his eyelid. Lin Ming looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, how old was he really?

  At sixteen and seventeen years old, although it's just a one-year difference, for young martial artists, the gap is enormous.

  Children from large sects generally start practicing martial arts as soon as they can walk, but childhood practice is only symbolic and focuses on building a foundation with the aid of medicinal tonics to improve their physical constitution, without cultivating true yuan.

  The true cultivation method, the true yuan exercises the body needs to start growing and developing from twelve years old, at this time, the martial artist will distinguish between practicing strength, practicing flesh, practicing zang and other six realms of practicing the body.

  At sixteen it was four years of practice, at seventeen it was five years of practice, the difference is naturally not small.

  If Lin Ming is seventeen, he can only be considered a first-rate genius. If he's sixteen, then he's an unparalleled genius! Compared to the direct disciples of the Seven Great Sects, he wouldn't lose out by much!

  "The second round, Fang Qi vs Zhou Yan."

  Upon hearing Fang Qi's name, Lin Ming couldn't help but pay a bit more attention. The Seven Great Sects of the Qixing Valley were the Sword Sect, Array Sect, Puppet Sect, Zither Sect, Harmony Sect, Alchemy Sect and Illusion Sect.

  Here, the Sword Sect has the strongest attacking power, but that doesn't mean the disciples of the Sword Sect are the most formidable. The other six sects each have their own unique skills, some sects like the Puppet Sect, Illusion Sect and Formation Sect have extremely unusual attack methods, with all sorts of strange techniques emerging one after another. It can be said that they may not be as strong as the Sword Sect, but they are even more difficult to deal with than the Sword Sect.

  Lin Ming was most interested in the Array Sect among these seven major sects. The second memory fragment he obtained came from a powerful array master, but unfortunately, Lin Ming's cultivation was not enough to practice the arrays in the array master's memories.

  Lin Ming thought that in order to set up a large-scale killing array, he would have to be at least a Heaven stage cultivator, but the Seven Abyss Valley Array Sect gave him a very good lesson.

  The small Thunderfire Pearl saved Lin Ming's life.

  This cleverly constructed miniature Thunderfire Array within the Pearl was something Lin Ming had never thought of before.

  Lin Ming was even considering that if he really were to enter the Seven Profound Valleys' headquarters in the future, wouldn't it be better to just join the Array Sect?

  The match began, and Zhou Yan immediately used his defensive martial skills, setting up layer upon layer of protective true yuan on his body. No one laughed at him for being cowardly; in fact, facing the seven direct disciples and still daring to fight was already a kind of courage.

  Zhou Yan himself is not a nobody, ranking 70th in the previous General Assembly martial arts competition. This time, he only lost one match in the group stage. Although it's slim hope to enter the first echelon, entering the second echelon is not a problem.

  "Flame of Crimson Blaze!"

  After reaching the extreme in self-defense, Zhou Yan directly took out his ultimate move. As a disciple of the Refining Sect, he had refined the pseudo-fire essence within his body and poured all his true yuan into it. A magnificent dragon made of flames burst forth into the air.

  Although separated by the protective formation outside the arena, I couldn't feel the heat of the Flame Dragon, but judging from the completely distorted light around it, I could predict a thing or two.

  Such a Flame Dragon is enough to evaporate all the water in a small lake, and if it hits a warrior, it can burn to death an ordinary Condensed Pulse middle-stage expert.

  However, Fang Qi simply raised his right hand and drew a golden array symbol in the air. Then, an unthinkable scene occurred: the Flame Dragon rushed into the golden array symbol, just like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing without a trace, as if the golden array symbol was connected to another space, transferring the Flame Dragon away.

  Seeing such a bizarre scene, Zhou Yan let out a sigh of despair and said: "I give up."

  The Flame of Scarlet Fire was his strongest move, but in front of Fang Qi, not even a spark could be produced, and it disappeared into thin air. This made Zhou Yan feel a sense of powerlessness, the gap was too great, to the point where he couldn't even estimate how much it was.

  "Victory to Fang Qisheng!"

  This victory was no surprise, and people just admired the strength of the personally transmitted disciple before waiting for the next match.

  Lin Ming was still thinking about the array symbol from earlier. A small array symbol, why could it swallow up Zhou Yan's full-force blow of Crimson Flame?

  He felt that the array system of the Divine Domain's great power was vastly different from the array system of the Seven Mysteries Valley Array Sect, and could even be said to be two completely different life skills!

  In Lin Ming's view, however, the array method system of the Seven Abyss Valley Array Sect had a greater impact on him now.

  Just then, the judge's voice interrupted Lin Ming's thoughts.

  "The third match, Lin Ming versus Bi Tinghua!"

  Lin Ming raised his head and met Bi Tinghua's gaze, at this moment, Bi Tinghua's face was smiling as brightly as her name.
