Zhu Yi came out of the Hidden Dragon Pot and returned to Lin Feng. He first bowed to Lin Feng, then cupped his fists in the direction of the Great Qin Dynasty, where Jiao Junchen was.
Jiao Junchen returned the greeting, then bowed to Shi Zongyue, Dao Master Changle, and Zhuge Guang. He said calmly, "I've also learned a lot from the battle with Zhu Yi. I feel that there are many principles that I have yet to fully comprehend from my previous studies."
"Therefore, I've decided to go back and study in seclusion for a period of time. I won't be participating in the upcoming Dharma Assembly. Please allow me."
The crowd was in an uproar. Shi Zongyue and the other two looked at each other. Dao Master Changle advised, "After the Dharma Assembly, you'll still have to enter the Ancient Desolate Sea World to train. The Ancient Desolate Sea World only opens once in a thousand years. It's a rare opportunity."
Jiao Junchen smiled, "I've learned a lot from the battle with Zhu Yi. It's much better than traveling to the Ancient Desolate Sea World. Now is the time to digest and absorb."
Shi Zongyue pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "If that's the case, you may go."
Jiao Junchen bowed to the group of Primordial Soul realm experts, then looked at Zhu Yi, "I'm looking forward to the news of Zhu Yi participating in the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial examination."
He turned around and left without hesitation.
The crowd at the Dharma Assembly was in a heated discussion. They did not expect Zhu Yi's battle to send Jiao Junchen home.
Shi Shaoqian was dumbfounded, "Mr. Jiao is leaving just like that? The battle with Zhu Yi had such a huge impact on him? "
Shi Xingyun, who was next to him, smiled bitterly. He looked at Zhu Yi and Tiny Tot and the rest of the people beside him and shook his head, "Even though Zhu Yi is only at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, he has already made a name for himself and will soon enter a stage of rapid development.
"Barring any major accidents, no one can stop this person from rising and creating his own legend."
Shi Xingyun's point of view was obviously the opinion of the majority of the people present. Everyone had the same feeling. Zhu Yi's influence had already been formed, and he could not be stopped.
Looking at Zhu Yi, many Golden Elixir Period cultivators felt a sense of fear.
Cultivators who were able to form their Jindan, regardless of how talented they were, would not be lacking in mental fortitude. Fear was already quite unfamiliar to them, but looking at Zhu Yi at this moment, they could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
When he was in the early Golden Elixir realm, he could do whatever he wanted in the Golden Elixir realm. With the help of Yuanying artifacts, he could even fight against an early Yuanying ancestor.
Huo Ming could be considered a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, yet he still lost to Zhu Yi.
Compared to Huo Ming, Jiao Junchen was even stronger. He even suppressed Zhu Yi for a while, but he could not avoid losing in the end. This battle even led to the improvement of Zhu Yi's cultivation.
Now that Zhu Yi had reached the middle stage of the Golden Elixir realm, his cultivation and magical power had improved. Who among the Golden Elixir Period cultivators present could be a match for him?
Many people even secretly looked at their own Yuanying ancestor.
The group of Yuanying ancestors looked at Zhu Yi with different expressions. Even the great cultivators at the middle stage of the Yuanying realm had a serious expression on their faces.
Jiao Junchen's last attack in the battle had already made the group of Yuanying ancestors look at him in a different light. Yet, Zhu Yi was still able to defeat him.
After this battle, Zhu Yi had advanced from the early stage of the Golden Elixir realm to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir realm. They had no choice but to pay attention to him.
What made most of them even more worried was that an old problem had once again surfaced in their minds, like a dark cloud that densely covered the sky.
He already had such amazing strength now. What about when Zhu Yi advanced to the late stage of the Golden Elixir realm?
What would it be like after he formed his Nascent Soul?
Thousands of gazes gathered on the people of Xuanmen Tianzong, causing some people to feel despair. "It seems … it seems … maybe … maybe everyone in this sect has such potential and strength?"
Lin Feng looked at the soaring reputation value in the system and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. This spell gathering was indeed not in vain."
He said to Zhu Yi, "Xiao Yi, sit down and Silently adjust your Qi-circulation and stabilize your foundation. Today is just the beginning. You have accumulated a lot and advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir realm. This is just the first time you released it."
Zhu Yi nodded with a smile. "Master's words make sense. I feel the same way." After saying this, he immediately sat down with his legs crossed and nourished the Golden Elixir that had just passed the Yin Fire Tribulation.
Dao Master Changle coughed dryly. "During the spell gathering, breaking through the realm immediately after the competition is also considered a good story. Congratulations, Sect Leader Lin."
Lin Feng smiled slightly. "I also have to thank Prince Anliang, Dao Master Changle, and Dao Master Gambling for their generosity."
"Sect Leader Lin is too polite." Shi Zongyue smiled and turned to look at Dao Master Changle. "The top four have been determined. Let's draw lots for the fourth round."
Dao Master Changle nodded and waved his hand. Four names appeared in the air. They were written with the names of Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, Shi Xingyun, and Song Qingyuan.
Seeing this, the crowd of cultivators in the spell gathering sighed in unison.
Among the top four, Xuanmen Tianzong once again had two spots, taking up half of the spots. What was even more shocking was that there were only two participants, and both of them had made it to the top four.
Zhu Yi's previous strong performance had made him the most popular candidate for the championship. There was no one else!
Shi Xingyun said that Zhu Yi's momentum was already set. At least in this Desolate Sea Spell Gathering, Zhu Yi had already demonstrated his domineering attitude. As he stood there, everyone hoped that they would not fight against him.
The real boss was treated like a demon. Everyone had to take a detour when they saw him.
The cultivators of the Qin Dynasty and the Tianchi Sect all had some hope in their gloomy faces. They did not want to boost the morale of others and belittle their own, but they sincerely hoped that their own cultivators would not be in the same group as Zhu Yi.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he could defeat Zhu Yi, he would have to kill one thousand enemies and die nine hundred and ninety-nine times!
Even if they managed to win, they would not be able to compete with the winner of the other group and would have to give up the championship.
Now, the common wish of the cultivators of the Qin Dynasty and the Tianchi Sect was that Dao Master Changle would draw Zhu Yi and Tiny Tot into the same group.
If it was a monster, then they would let their own monster deal with it.
However, some people had different thoughts. They hoped that their own cultivators would be able to draw Tiny Tot.
After all, regardless of whether it was Song Qingyuan or Shi Xingyun, the strength that they had displayed before was also quite strong. If the two of them were to really fight in the same group, in the eyes of most people, the outcome would still be very suspenseful.
On the contrary, Tiny Tot's previous performance was a bit weaker than the other three, especially when his old injuries had not healed.
For example, Shi Shaoqian thought so, but when he told Shi Xingyun this idea, he was given two big rolls of the eyes by his usually dignified and polite royal sister.
"If you want to fight to your heart's content, then it doesn't matter who you draw. But if you want to enter the finals, then only Song Qingyuan is the most suitable opponent." Shi Xingyun said indifferently, "As for the two of Xuanmen Tianzong, let's ask them to settle it internally."
Shi Shaoqian was baffled, "Royal sister, but that Shi Tianhao, even if he recovers from his injuries and returns to his peak state, he might not be your match."
Shi Xingyun did not reply immediately. She only stared at Shi Tianhao in a daze. After a while, she said in a low voice, "From the looks of it, that is indeed the case, but I still feel uneasy."
"Perhaps it's because, if Tianhao only has this much strength, then he will never have the chance to seek justice from the dual-pupiled person. The difference between the two of them is simply too great."
Shi Xingyun muttered to herself, "With the Supreme Spiritual Platform that originally belonged to him, coupled with Shi Tianyi's innate dual-pupiled power, Tianhao himself should know how powerful Shi Tianyi's talent and potential are."
"However, I can feel a kind of high spirits and carefree confidence from this child. It seems that he is not worried about not being able to seek revenge from the dual-pupiled person. This kind of confidence does not come from his terrifying master, but from himself."
At this point, Shi Xingyun became even more confused, "If he has this kind of confidence, then his strength should not be as simple as it seems. However, if he is hiding his strength, then the previous battle with Mu Jihai was extremely dangerous. He would have lost if he had made the slightest mistake. Even if he was hiding his strength, he would not have gone to such extremes."
Just as Shi Xingyun was pondering, Dao Master Chang Le had already placed all four names into the copper bottle. Soon, the first name was drawn. It was Tiny Tot's name.
The next opponent he drew for Tiny Tot was Song Qingyuan from the Celestial Pool Sect.
When the lot was drawn, the cultivators of the Celestial Pool Sect could not suppress their cheers.
From their point of view, the lot was perfect. They could leave Zhu Yi to Shi Xingyun of the Great Qin Dynasty to worry about.
The Yuanying Ancestor and the Golden Elixir Elders of the Celestial Pool Sect turned around and glared at the young disciples.
Wasn't their behavior telling the others that even their own people did not think that Song Qingyuan would be able to defeat Zhu Yi?
Although the Ancestors and Elders secretly heaved a sigh of relief, they still had to put on a show. They could not show weakness to the enemy.
Song Qingyuan's expression was calm, without sorrow or joy. In reality, he was reflecting on himself. "Zhu Yi is stronger than I expected. I thought I had already overestimated him, but who knew that I had underestimated him."
"If his opponent in the third round was not Jiao Junchen but me, it would not be easy to deal with him."
He looked up at Tiny Tot opposite him, "Then, did I underestimate this person before? Although he was seriously injured in the battle with Mu Jihai, it is inevitable that he has some hidden tricks up his sleeves. "
"I wanted to save my trump card for the finals, but now it seems that I have to act according to the situation. I can't hold it back when it's time to use it."
As Song Qingyuan was thinking, he suddenly received a voice transmission from his master, Cao Wei, "Qingyuan, I have something for you to do. When you fight against Xuanmen Tianzong and Shi Tianhao later, remember one thing."
