Yan Zhaoge looked calmly at the ongoing Extreme Yin Bout before him.
In the past few Bouts, he had also seen the light recordings brought back by his clan's seniors. Now that he was observing them from a close distance, corroborating them, he had the most direct and accurate judgement of the Maidens of Extreme Yin present.
Following beside him, Ah Hu asked curiously, "Young Master, it looks like Meng Wan outshines them all ah."
Yan Zhaoge said casually, "Evaluating the strength of a Maiden of Extreme Yin is not a one-sided thing."
"Generally speaking, the strength of a Maiden of Extreme Yin's cultivation base, the amount of Extreme Yin power they possess, and the strength of the supreme Extreme Yin Arts they comprehend all come together to determine the strength of a Maiden of Extreme Yin in wielding the Extreme Yin Crown. In actual combat, it also involves their level of adaptability. Therefore, they can generally be viewed as four decisive factors."
Looking at Meng Wan, Yan Zhaoge saw the fiery phoenix spreading its wings above her head, its aura surging to the heavens.
What drew people's attention even more was that the silhouette of a fiery phoenix above Meng Wan's head was half black, half white.
This meant that the Sacred Sun Clan and Meng Wan had already made substantial progress in analysing the yin-yang coexisting technique to raise their strength a step further, no longer having just seen through it in the fourth Extreme Yin Bout last year, resulting in their foundation becoming unstable and their strength instead regressing.
Taking a step back back then was to advance three steps forward now. Meng Wan had perfectly illustrated this point.
That was why her strength had skyrocketed today, presiding over everyone present.
"Meng Wan leads in all aspects, fully deserving of the title of the current strongest Maiden of Extreme Yin," Yan Zhaoge sighed emotionally.
In terms of cultivation base, Meng Wan herself was a genius in the first place. Also, with the full support of the Sacred Sun Clan, as well as having grasped the Extreme Yin Crown over the past two years, the increase in her daily cultivation, Meng Wan had already stepped into the early Xiantian Martial Scholar realm at such a young age, the highest of all the Maidens of Extreme Yin present.
In terms of the strength of Extreme Yin power, Meng Wan was even more unrivaled, her innate talent having been raised a step further by the yin-yang coexisting technique.
In terms of the power of supreme Extreme Yin Arts, according to past experience, Meng Wan was also a peak existence.
In terms of actual combat experience, while Meng Wan could not be said to have experienced a hundred battles, she was still extremely abundant.
That year, the Extreme Yin Crown had fallen from her hands a second time precisely because she had wielded the Extreme Yin Crown in a head-on clash with a Flame Devil King in the East Sea.
Although Meng Wan was injured, she was a Martial Scholar. Being able to survive a battle with a Martial Sage was undoubtedly a great benefit.
Feng Yunsheng had once said that as long as nothing happened to Meng Wan herself, the Extreme Yin Crown would not be lost to her when she participated in the Extreme Yin Bout.
These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart and were not spoken casually.
Looking at the people participating in the first round of the examination, Yan Zhaoge said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui is the weakest, just the opposite of Meng Wan, being rather mediocre in all areas. It might be a little impolite to say this, but if there is no earth-shattering change, Junior Sister Ling will only be a bystander every year if she participates. "
"The Heavenly Thunder Hall's Nian Lei. Right, other things aside, ever since the fourth Extreme Yin Bout last year, the power of Extreme Yin has begun to increase. While it is limited, it is indeed increasing."
Glancing at the great silhouetted drum in the air above Nian Lei's head, Yan Zhaoge saw that the surface of the drum was also vaguely divided into black and white, one side black and one side white.
However, it wasn't clear and was rather blurry.
Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, "The Heavenly Thunder Hall is indeed also attempting a yin-yang coexisting technique to raise the strength of their Maidens of Extreme Yin. However, it is all based on their own probing, and having only just begun, there is still a long way for them to go."
Things like innovation were often the most difficult at the start. After it had gotten on the right track, it would welcome rapid development, only reaching a certain height and encountering a bottleneck, slowing down once more as they sought a breakthrough.
Hearing his words, Ah Hu also appraised them curiously.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze turned to the other side, "Jade Sea City's Chen Suting's greatest advantage lies in her cultivation base. Other than that, the supreme Extreme Yin Arts that Jade Sea City specially created for her are also rather extraordinary."
Of all the participants, Chen Suting was the oldest, having cultivated for the longest time, also having once wielded the Extreme Yin Crown for a year.
Currently, she was the only Maiden of Extreme Yin whose cultivation base was similar to Meng Wan's, also having broken through to the early Xiantian Martial Scholar realm.
The supreme Extreme Yin Arts were mainly comprehended by the Maidens of Extreme Yin themselves, but with the help of seniors of the clan, they would be able to use them more easily.
Of the six great Sacred Grounds, the martial arts of Jade Sea City and Turbid Wave Pavilion were originally all proficient in the power of yin.
In the first Extreme Yin Bout earlier, Chen Suting had been Meng Wan's greatest competitor. At that time, Meng Wan had still been young, and she had finally won by a hair's breadth.
In the second Extreme Yin Bout, Meng Wan had been injured. In the end, Chen Suting had won, winning the Extreme Yin Crown back to Jade Sea City.
In the war of the Eastern Tang, it had been Chen Suting who had brought the Extreme Yin Crown along with Jade Sea City's longtime Elders, traversing east to the Earth Domain, cooperating with Broad Creed Mountain in ambushing the Sacred Sun Clan's Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Sadly, however, in the third Extreme Yin Bout, Meng Wan, having fully recovered from her injuries, had made a grand comeback.
In the fourth Extreme Yin Bout, Meng Wan had strategically chosen to give it up. In the end, Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu had appeared out of nowhere.
However, even so, in the fifth Extreme Yin Bout, Chen Suting had still been rather competitive.
As for Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu, as Yan Zhaoge saw it, she was rather extraordinary, resembling a slightly smaller version of Meng Wan.
Outstanding in all aspects, what was especially worth mentioning was that Fan Qiu's innate talent was extremely powerful.
This rabbit-toothed girl might even be the Maiden of Extreme Yin with the greatest innate talent.
If Meng Wan had not been strengthened by the yin-yang coexisting technique, she might not even have been able to defeat Fan Qiu in terms of innate talent.
Also, Fan Qiu of Turbid Wave Pavilion had comprehended and created supreme Extreme Yin Arts, which were extremely intricate.
Looking at that small umbrella above Fan Qiu's head, Yan Zhaoge nodded to himself.
Other than these old opponents …
Yan Zhaoge's gaze fell on another person, also participating in this year's Extreme Yin Bout for the first time.
Sacred Sun Clan, Yun Xiuqing.
While they hailed from the same clan, Yun Xiuqing and Meng Wan were vastly different.
Currently, above her head was the image of a mountain peak.
It was a snowy mountain, but on its peak, flames and lava spurted out from time to time.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "Meng Wan switched to cultivating in the yin-yang coexisting technique halfway through. This girl is clearly no exception, her Extreme Yin power being rather impressive."
"Her comprehension ability is excellent, and her supreme Extreme Yin Arts are also extraordinary. It's just that she is a little inexperienced, her cultivation base somewhat low, but her overall strength is also extremely strong."
Ah Hu blinked. Being able to receive such an evaluation from Yan Zhaoge, it could already be considered very rare.
Looking carefully, Ah Hu indeed saw through some things. Then, looking at the others, he saw that the leading Elders of Infinite Boundless Mountain and the Heavenly Thunder Hall all had rather ugly expressions on their faces.
This newcomer Yun Xiuqing was shockingly even stronger than Ling Hui and Nian Lei who had already participated in four Extreme Yin Bouts!
The expressions of those of Jade Sea City and Turbid Wave Pavilion were similarly solemn, because Yun Xiuqing clearly already possessed the strength to threaten Chen Suting and Fan Qiu.
The Sacred Sun Clan's leading Sunset Lord was expressionless.
Some of the accompanying Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners behind him had cold smiles appear on their faces as their gazes swept past Yan Zhaoge and Elder Meng, finally landing on Feng Yunsheng, "Four spots. Chen Suting and Fan Qiu are fine, but you traitor, scram back to Broad Creed Mountain as soon as possible!"
