Chapter 252: Advancing to the Inner Gate

When the elder read Lina's name, the whole square fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on this woman who looked gentle but had a strong aura. As an outer disciple of the Tianxing Sect, Lina had always acted in a calm and low-key manner. However, today, she would challenge the inner disciples to prove her strength.

Lina stood on the stage with a determined look in her eyes, and walked gently towards the ring. She looked extremely calm and confident, and her long flowing hair swayed gently in the breeze, revealing an aura that should not be underestimated.

She knew very well that her strength was far beyond what she saw on the surface. After becoming a disciple of the Tianxing Sect, she used the beast control technique again and captured many powerful monsters. This time, she had enough confidence to face the challenge of the inner sect disciples.

"Lina is finally on stage. Who will she challenge?" The disciples in the audience were talking about it, obviously curious about the strength of this new outer sect rookie.

An inner sect disciple stood up and walked slowly onto the stage, with a look of contempt on his face. Although Lina was quite famous, he still felt that she was just an outer sect disciple who had just joined and could not yet be compared with the real inner sect masters.

"Challenge me? You are far from it." The inner disciple sneered, his eyes full of arrogance.

Lina didn't care about his words. Instead, she looked at him calmly. She flicked her finger lightly, and a faint spiritual light flashed beside her. In an instant, a huge monster with strong pressure appeared out of thin air beside her. This was a thunder leopard that Lina carefully captured and tamed. It had lightning speed and powerful attack power, just like her left and right arms.

"This is the art of taming beasts! I didn't expect she has already practiced to this level." When the disciples around saw the monster, they immediately exclaimed in surprise.

The inner disciple's expression became solemn, obviously he did not expect Lina to be able to summon such a powerful monster. He did not dare to underestimate it anymore, and quickly took out his spiritual weapon, ready to fight.

The battle breaks out instantly!

The inner disciple's spiritual sword turned into a stream of light, pointing directly in Lina's direction. However, the Thunder Leopard was as agile as the wind, and with its amazing speed, it instantly disappeared from the spot, easily avoiding his attack. The next second, a ray of lightning fell from the sky, and the Thunder Leopard was approaching quickly, attacking the opponent with destructive power.

"So fast!" The inner sect disciple was secretly shocked and hastily swung his sword to block, but was still knocked back several steps by the impact of the lightning and almost lost his balance on the stage.

Lina did not give her opponent any chance to breathe. She raised her hand slightly, and another huge monster flew out from her beast control ring. This was a blood-winged bat, which was good at using sonic attacks to disturb the enemy's mind.

"Are you ready?" Lina smiled faintly, her tone calm, but revealing a strong sense of oppression.

The sound waves came crashing down, along with the lightning attack of the thunder leopard. The inner sect disciple was already in a state of disarray under the double pressure. His defense was defeated step by step, and he had almost no power to fight back. The continuous attacks of the powerful monster made him breathless. He was originally full of confidence, but now his face was pale and his eyes were full of shock.

"How could this happen... How could she tame so many powerful monsters!"

The disciples in the audience were stunned. No one could have imagined that Lina's beast control skills had reached such a high level. It was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Even the elders couldn't help but show some appreciation.

The inner sect disciple was obviously powerless to save the situation. After barely holding on for a while, he finally had to admit defeat and retreated from the stage in embarrassment.

"I...I give up!"

Lina took back the monster and stood calmly in the center of the ring, her expression unchanged. Her fight ended so cleanly and neatly that it shocked everyone. With her beast control skills, she perfectly controlled the situation and demonstrated her power that should not be underestimated.

Below the ring, the disciples were silent. They looked at this calm and powerful woman, and they were in deep awe of her.

"She is so powerful!" a disciple couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Ye Fan and Lina... Tianxing Sect has really produced two rare geniuses this year."

Lina walked down the ring calmly, glanced around, and then returned to Ye Fan. Seeing that she won so easily, Ye Fan smiled and said, "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time."

Lina nodded slightly, her eyes firm: "Beast Taming Technique has given me more means, but we still have a long way to go."

The elders in the distance looked at Lina with gratified expressions. Lina's performance not only made them see her potential, but also made them full of expectations for the future of Tianxing Sect.

"This child has great value in training." The female elder who once saved Ye Fan and Lina looked at Lina with approval in her eyes.

With the end of this battle, Lina was successfully promoted to an inner disciple, and her beast taming skills also caused quite a stir in the Tianxing Sect.

As everyone's eyes focused on the ring, Ye Fan's name was slowly read out by the elder, and the entire square suddenly became quiet. The moment for Ye Fan to appear on the stage finally arrived, and this time, he did not choose any ordinary opponent, but directly pointed at the first disciple of the inner sect of Tianxing Sect!

"I want to challenge the inner sect's number one disciple - Mu Qingfeng!"

There was an uproar in the audience, and many disciples looked at Ye Fan in shock. This was not just a challenge, but also a direct declaration of war by Ye Fan against the authority of the inner sect of Tianxing Sect.

Mu Qingfeng, an absolute strong man in the inner sect of Tianxing Sect, is the best among the younger generation of Tianxing Sect in terms of both talent and strength. His name has long been resounding throughout Tianxing Sect, and he is the role model and goal in the hearts of almost every disciple.

Mu Qingfeng stood on the other side of the ring, with an upright posture and a cold and arrogant look between his eyebrows. His handsome face was embedded with a pair of star-like eyes, and his eyes were full of confidence and indifference. He was dressed in white, with long hair tied behind his head, and the whole person was like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its sharp edge.

"You want to challenge me?" Mu Qingfeng glanced at Ye Fan indifferently, his tone full of disdain and indifference.

"That's right." Ye Fan's expression was firm, and he did not retreat at all. He knew that Mu Qingfeng was not only the number one inner disciple of Tianxing Sect, but also an extremely difficult opponent. However, Ye Fan's heart was full of fighting spirit, and he would not retreat in this battle no matter what.

The atmosphere in the ring was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, looking forward to this top-notch showdown.

With the elder's order, the duel between the two officially began!

Mu Qingfeng took the lead, and a flash of cold light flashed in his hand, and a long sword quickly condensed out. The sword was silver-white, and the blade was extremely sharp. It rushed straight towards Ye Fan with a chilling aura. Mu Qingfeng's swordsmanship was as swift as the wind, and the sword shadows overlapped, creating countless cold lights in the air.

Ye Fan's eyes focused, he tapped his feet, and quickly retreated, avoiding Mu Qingfeng's attack. At the same time, he condensed a ball of spiritual energy in his hand, and suddenly punched out, and a low roar suddenly came from the air.

"Wuji Potianjue!" Ye Fan's heart moved, and he displayed his newly learned martial arts.

This punch carried a powerful destructive force and hit Mu Qingfeng's sword shadow directly. In an instant, the sword energy and fist force collided in mid-air, erupting a strong spiritual power fluctuation. The entire arena shook violently, and the disciples around were shaken back by this huge impact force.

Mu Qingfeng's face changed slightly. He did not expect Ye Fan's attack to be so powerful, especially the domineering power contained in his fist, which could compete with his sword energy.

"Hmph, quite interesting." Mu Qingfeng snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand spun. In an instant, the sword shadow turned into a gust of wind, sweeping over. His swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and every sword was full of murderous intent, attacking Ye Fan like a storm.

Ye Fan remained calm and responded calmly. His body movements were as agile as the wind, and each attack accurately resolved Mu Qingfeng's sword force. The two of them crossed on the ring like lightning, and each confrontation was accompanied by amazing spiritual power fluctuations, stirring up countless dust around.

The battle became more and more intense, Mu Qingfeng's sword became more and more fierce, and Ye Fan's boxing became more and more violent. The two were equally strong, and for a while, it was difficult to tell who would win.

The disciples below the stage were already stunned. No one had expected that Ye Fan could fight so fiercely with Mu Qingfeng, the number one in the inner sect.

"This Ye Fan's strength... can actually compete with Mu Qingfeng!"

"Although this guy's talent is average, his strength should not be underestimated!"

Ye Fan's master, the female war god elder, also nodded slightly in the distance, with a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes. She was obviously very satisfied with Ye Fan's performance.

At this moment, Mu Qingfeng suddenly shouted coldly, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly surged. A powerful aura burst out from his whole body, and the long sword instantly turned into thousands of sword shadows, sweeping towards Ye Fan.

"Star Sword Technique!" Mu Qingfeng shouted in a low voice. This was a unique skill that he had practiced for many years and it was extremely powerful.

Thousands of sword shadows turned into countless starlight, interweaving into a galaxy in the air, pressing towards Ye Fan mightily. This force was enough to crush everything, and the disciples around were all shocked and retreated one after another.

Ye Fan's eyes focused, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate rapidly. He used his strongest martial arts without hesitation.

"Infinitely Breaking the Sky!"

A powerful force burst out from Ye Fan's body, and his fist turned into a violent whirlwind, slamming into Mu Qingfeng's sword shadow. The fist force and the sword shadow collided violently in the air, and a dazzling light instantly burst out between heaven and earth, and the arena was immediately engulfed by the powerful spiritual power fluctuations.

With a loud bang, the entire arena shook violently and dust flew everywhere.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Ye Fan and Mu Qingfeng stood opposite each other. Mu Qingfeng's face was slightly pale, and it was obvious that the previous confrontation had caused him a great shock. Ye Fan still stood like a pine tree. Although his body was covered with sweat, his eyes were still firm and full of fighting spirit.

The audience was in an uproar; no one could have imagined that this duel would be so intense.

"Ye Fan...is really qualified to challenge Mu Qingfeng!"

Mu Qingfeng took a deep breath, put away his sword, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. He had never met such a difficult opponent as Ye Fan. Although the opponent's talent was not as good as his, his strength and tenacity were enough to make Mu Qingfeng admire him.

"Good, very good." Mu Qingfeng whispered, "Ye Fan, your strength impressed me."

In the end, the two were tied, but Ye Fan's performance undoubtedly shocked the entire Tianxing Sect. Ye Fan, with a brand new attitude, stood at the top of the Tianxing Sect's inner sect.
