Even though Xue 'er's victory was unexpected, it was still acceptable. On the contrary, her popularity seemed to have increased because of this.
Looking at the scene where Xue 'er was the center of attention on the stage, Yan Chutian revealed a smile.
At this moment, he also felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that the young girl who followed behind him, who could only rely on him to protect her, had now grown to such an extent.
At the same time, the victory was already decided, so Cher naturally wouldn't stay on the stage for even a moment. Under the gazes of many people, she confidently flew back to Yan Chutian's side.
"Big brother Yan, Cher's performance was not bad, right?"
As soon as she landed, she snuggled up to Yan Chutian's side and chattered non-stop.
It was precisely because of this that many people's gazes were filled with hostility towards Yan Chutian. After all, although the two were brother and sister, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were not related by blood.
So, how could the two's intimate actions not make some guesses?
Yan Chutian didn't care about this. After all, he never cared about what others thought of him.
The test was still going on, and the ancient sound of the bell was still ringing. There were constantly disciples advancing, and there were also constantly disciples being eliminated.
The victors enjoyed glory and were the center of attention. The losers could only leave gloomily, and there were very few sympathetic gazes.
After all, only the victors were dazzling.
As the examination continued, it was finally Mu Youxue's turn to go on the stage.
With Mu Youxue's current strength, it was not easy for her to reach the second round of the examination. After all, she had just obtained the inheritance and didn't have much time to digest it. What she could grasp now was probably just the surface.
However, what made Yan Chutian feel slightly relieved was that Mu Youxue's first opponent wasn't very strong.
In the end, even though Mu Youxue paid a price, she still defeated her opponent and barely managed to advance.
Seeing her advance, Yan Chutian was naturally happy, but he also knew very well. The further the examination went, the more elite the remaining disciples were.
With Mu Youxue's strength, even if she continued to advance, it would be very difficult.
However, he had no way of persuading her. He couldn't possibly tell Mu Youxue to give up because she knew she wasn't strong enough.
After all the fights in this round were over, the original two hundred and fifty six disciples had been reduced by half.
This also meant that the following battles would be even more intense, or perhaps even more exciting.
Under the control of one of the outer sect elders, the Milky Way once again appeared in the sky. The nameplates in the Milky Way surged. Clearly, he wanted to let the disciple draw a new opponent.
This time, Yan Chutian drew number 17. He quickly looked at Cher and Mu Youxue's nameplates and confirmed that their numbers were different from his.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
No matter which of the two women he faced, it was a situation he didn't want to see.
After the drawing of lots was done, it was time for the second round of the arena battles to begin.
This time, the one who drew number one was not Ye Linlang, but Guo Hong. Guo Hong wasn't very popular, but his cultivation was genuine. Thus, when he stepped onto the arena, he instantly attracted countless gazes.
When he cleanly defeated his opponent and obtained victory, many of the spectating disciples sighed in admiration. His strength was truly formidable.
In the eyes of the crowd, if it wasn't for Ye Linlang, Guo Hong would definitely be a strong contender for the number one outer sect disciple. In the eyes of some disciples, if they were to rank the outer sect prides, Guo Hong would definitely be in the top three.
Looking at Guo Hong's clean victory, Yan Chutian would be lying if he said he didn't feel any pressure.
After all, even if he was prepared, he didn't know if he had the chance to defeat his opponent before they actually fought.
When Guo Hong and the other eight arenas had finished, the next person to step onto the first arena was the extremely popular outer sect disciple, Luo Yu.
The moment Luo Yu stepped onto the arena, she attracted a huge cheer. Even the male disciple who was going to fight her revealed a look of admiration.
The result of this battle was not out of everyone's expectations. Luo Yu also displayed an astonishing strength and won in a clean and efficient manner.
With Luo Yu's victory, the crowd naturally cheered loudly once again. The commotion was comparable to Ye Linlang's earlier commotion.
When the eight arenas had also finished, Yan Chutian secretly held the nameplate in his hand. This meant that it was his turn to step onto the arena next.
It was unknown whether it was the arrangement of fate, but when Yan Chutian flew onto the stage, what greeted him was a familiar face.
"Yan Yun, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
When he heard the familiar voice, he looked over. This red-clothed young man was Hu Yuan, the one who blocked the Qi Refining Tower and fought with him on the arena.
This Hu Yuan gave Yan Chutian a good feeling, so he naturally wouldn't look at him coldly. Instead, he pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.
Hu Yuan seemed to be used to Yan Chutian's reaction, or rather, he didn't care at all. He only had one purpose, and that was to defeat his opponent.
Only by defeating his opponent could he prove that he was stronger and advance to the next round. Then, he could chase after the top eight spots to enter the inner sect.
He had already fought with Yan Chutian, so he had a rough idea of his opponent's strength. Therefore, Hu Yuan saw that all the probing could be avoided and the winner could be decided directly.
Therefore, when the ancient bell rang, he did not hesitate to speak. "Yan Yun, let's decide the outcome of this battle with one move!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reply.
As it surged, there were already wisps of seemingly weak flames, but they appeared all over his body.
Hu Yuan's words were not concealed, so the crowd in the square could clearly hear them.
"Senior brother Hu Yuan actually wants to decide the winner with one move, and from the looks of it, he's obviously going to use the Taiyan Art!"
"The Taiyan Art is an extremely terrifying offensive spiritual technique. When cultivating it, one has to endure the pain of fire entering the body. I didn't expect senior brother Hu Yuan to be able to cultivate it."
"I wonder how Yan Yun will block it. With senior brother Hu Yuan's quasi-seventh level Yuanying cultivation, one can imagine how terrifying the power of the Taiyan Art is."
"…"
Looking at Hu Yuan, who had already activated the Taiyan Art, Yan Chutian didn't feel angry, but a glint flashed across his eyes.
Thinking back to the scene on the battle stage that day, perhaps the power of the Taiyan Art should be able to reach the standard.
However, he still had to be careful. After all, it was only after knowing about Cher's Clear Heart that he accidentally discovered this technique recorded in the Mysterious Yang Scripture. Using the Clear Heart, he hurriedly cultivated.
Before using it, he didn't know how powerful it was.
However, the technique recorded in the Mysterious Yang Scripture, coupled with the fact that it could only be cultivated with the Clear Heart, should be able to satisfy him.
While Yan Chutian was lost in his thoughts, Hu Yuan did not hesitate. Flames appeared around his body, and as he formed a seal, they exploded into a curtain of fire that filled the sky, extremely dazzling.
Immediately after, just like the scene on the battle stage that day, the curtain of fire that filled the sky continuously compressed between Hu Yuan's palms, until it finally condensed into a lifelike fire phoenix.
As the fire wings gently flapped, a scorching fire wolf extended out, easily causing space to collapse. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power was contained within this small fire phoenix.
In fact, this Fire Phoenix was even stronger than before.
Clearly, Hu Yuan was not wasting his time in the final days. Instead, his mastery of the Taiyan Art had improved.
Since the fire phoenix had appeared, Hu Yuan naturally would not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately controlled the Burning Heaven Fire Phoenix, shook its flaming wings, and rushed straight towards Yan Chutian.
Wherever the fire phoenix passed, space would silently burn and collapse. What the crowd could see was an incomparably dazzling pillar of flames, charging straight towards Yan Chutian.
Would he be able to withstand such a terrifying attack?
Seeing this fire phoenix that was several times stronger than before, Yan Chutian was not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, he was even more delighted.
Because of this, he was even more certain of his thoughts.
When the fire phoenix approached, he had already slowly activated the Mysterious Yang Qi in his body. The Mysterious Yang Qi was like a river as it circulated in his body, finally converging in his palm.
Then, a soft voice that only he could hear slowly rang out.
"Mysterious Yang Scripture, Mysterious Yang Swallow!"
