In the fifth Extreme Yin Bout, the number of Maidens of Extreme Yin participating had increased to seven.
In the first round of assessment, three people would be eliminated and four would remain.
The standard of judgement was left to the Extreme Yin Crown itself.
The seven were all enveloped by the radiance of the Extreme Yin Crown, at the same time resonating with it.
The competition between Maidens of Extreme Yin's strength was related to each person's cultivation level. However, it was not a simple competition of martial arts.
Being able to better communicate with the Extreme Yin Crown and wield the power of the Extreme Yin Crown was the ultimate measure. All other factors were just factors influencing this final goal.
Resonating with the Extreme Yin Crown would directly display this.
The Extreme Yin Crown would fairly respond to everyone's communications.
The thickness and brightness of the seven light pillars began to change gradually.
The weaker a person was, the thinner the light beam would be, and the dimmer the radiance would be. On the contrary, the light beam would be thicker and the radiance would be brighter.
Therefore, of everyone present, Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui was the weakest, directly at the bottom. While the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Nian Lei was stronger than Ling Hui, she could only be ranked second from the bottom.
Although due to Lin Zhou, the Heavenly Thunder Hall had guided Nian Lei onto a correct path, and they could already gradually see results, there were still many areas where they had to work hard on, requiring even more time.
Meng Wan was undoubtedly the strongest, while Fan Qiu was basically sitting firmly in the second place for the time being.
What was more interesting was that although Chen Suting seemed to be in third place, her position was not stable.
The pillar of light that enveloped Yun Xiuqing grew brighter and brighter with an extremely rapid momentum.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions were rather solemn. While they had expected that since the Sacred Sun Clan had sent Yun Xiuqing to participate, this girl would definitely be extraordinary, they had not expected this to be the case.
She had thought that she was only qualified to be Meng Wan's assistant, but now it seemed that everyone had underestimated her.
With three people eliminated in the first round, the Sacred Sun Clan would actually be able to occupy two of the remaining four spots.
Thinking up to here, everyone couldn't help but begin to pay attention to the other person, who was also participating in the Extreme Yin Bout for the first time.
Everyone looked over and saw that the pillar of light enveloping Feng Yunsheng was flickering.
With a saber in hand, Feng Yunsheng tied her long hair into a ponytail.
The edge of the blade pointed into the void, where there was a figure of light floating and sinking, faintly discernible, flickering along with the pillar of light.
Everyone frowned.
The pillar of light that enveloped Feng Yunsheng, when dim, was only at the level of Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui.
When it was bright and dazzling, it chased after Meng Wan and Fan Qiu.
One bright and one dark, alternating like a candle flame in the night wind.
This kind of performance made everyone somewhat unable to guess.
Saying that Feng Yunsheng was weak didn't seem right either. Let alone the other Maidens of Extreme Yin, even the spectators would have a rather deep understanding of the Extreme Yin Bout.
They could tell that this woman who had once fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley had truly recovered her Extreme Yin Physique.
However, saying that she had the strength, Broad Creed Mountain's Elder Meng's heart was also a little drumming, "It feels … too unstable. Is it because the recovery of her Extreme Yin Physique is still not complete?"
Elder Meng swivelled his head to glance at Yan Zhaoge, "If she has not completely recovered, without a certain degree of confidence, Fu Enshu and Zhaoge should not be at ease letting her participate in the Extreme Yin Bout."
"Perhaps Zhaoge and the others have also made an error in judgement, and this girl's Extreme Yin Physique still has some hidden problems, not being able to be detected by others, yet having nowhere to hide before the Extreme Yin Crown, her flaws being exposed?"
The Sacred Sun Clan's Sunset Lord knit his brows slightly. While he very much hoped that something would happen to Broad Creed Mountain's Maiden of Extreme Yin, the current situation seemed a little strange.
The other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners also focused their attention on Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge looked calmly at Feng Yunsheng. Feeling Elder Meng's gaze, he swivelled his head to look at him, smiling, "Relax, Elder Meng; it's fine."
Elder Meng swivelled his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, "Logically speaking, it is you all who are in charge of this girl's education and grooming, and this old man should not be speaking out of turn. However, the current situation really makes one feel a little uncertain ah."
"The Sacred Sun Clan's Meng Wan's superiority is clear. Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu follows closely behind, similarly outstanding. Jade Sea City's Chen Suting similarly possesses competitiveness. The key is that this new girl of the Sacred Sun Clan is actually also rather outstanding."
"Only the top four will be chosen in total. While from the looks of it, we won't be at the bottom, at the end of the day, we still have greater hopes."
Elder Meng pondered as he said, "This old man is not dreaming that she will be able to obtain first place in her first Extreme Yin Bout. However, with the current situation, could it be that her Extreme Yin Physique has still not completely recovered?"
Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, "Rest easy, Elder Meng. Junior apprentice-sister Feng's Extreme Yin Physique has long since successfully recovered. Her current state is just her adjusting herself."
"Oh?" Elder Meng looked towards Yan Zhaoge once more.
Looking at Feng Yunsheng, the corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth revealed a hint of a smile, "Under the combined effects of many methods, junior apprentice-sister Feng's cultivation base has improved rapidly, already successfully stepping into the late outer aura Martial Scholar realm."
"Compared to Meng Wan, Fan Qiu, Chen Suting and the others who had previously received the help of the Extreme Yin Crown, in terms of pure speed of improvement, not only is it not slow, it is instead even faster. In terms of individual cultivation bases, she is not at a disadvantage at all."
"Not only has her Extreme Yin power been restored, it has similarly been strengthened through many methods."
"The only problem is in the area of supreme Extreme Yin Arts. The supreme Extreme Yin Arts that she originally comprehended in the Sacred Sun Clan now seem a little outdated, falling behind greatly when compared to Meng Wan and the others."
"The Extreme Yin Scripture has the supreme Extreme Yin Arts, possessing immense power, but conversely, the difficulty in cultivating in them is also very high. Time is still too tight at the end of the day, junior apprentice-sister Feng lacking sufficient time to train in them."
"Also, these supreme Extreme Yin Arts are best used as reference. Only supreme arts that are comprehended by oneself are most suitable for oneself."
Yan Zhaoge said, "In my report to the clan earlier, I mentioned that in the fifth Extreme Yin Bout, unless a pie falls from the heavens and one's luck is heaven-defying, it would be very hard for one to obtain first place. This is the reason why it is more used to accumulate experience as well as to fill in the gaps."
"However, even so, I was only joking with junior apprentice-sister Feng when I said that it was fine as long as she wasn't at the bottom," Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Junior apprentice-sister Feng is very outstanding."
Enveloped by the pillar of light that was bright at times whilst dim at others, Feng Yunsheng's expression was calm, her gaze resolute.
She abruptly let out a clear roar, resembling the roar of a dragon, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, her voice shaking the nine heavens.
The silhouette above her head gradually stabilised, becoming brighter and brighter.
As everyone looked over, they saw that it was clearly a dragon of light that was half black, half white!
The roar of the dragon grew louder and louder, causing the winds and clouds to change colour.
A sabre in hand, a dragon of light coiled above Feng Yunsheng's head, its majestic roar drawing everyone's attention.
As compared to Meng Wan's graceful bearing of a phoenix, Feng Yunsheng's roar of a dragon of the nine heavens was vigorous and domineering.
The Mountain Splitting Chisel above Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui's head shook, the Heavenly Thunder Drum above Nian Lei's head rumbling even more urgently.
The massive vessel above Jade Sea City's Chen Suting's head shook slightly, the small umbrella above Turbid Wave Pavilion's Fan Qiu's head spinning.
As a Maiden of Extreme Yin also participating in the Bout for the first time, the Snowy Peak Volcano above Yun Xiuqing's head directly erupted!
"We can't enter the second round?"
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Haha …"
