Only a few figures were left in the square. Those people were Murong Qingcheng, Xiao Li, and the others.
In addition, Lan Bai and a few other experts were also persevering.
However, the power of the illusion became stronger as they progressed. Even if those people were geniuses, they could not withstand it.
Therefore, people were constantly being teleported out, and there were fewer and fewer people in the square.
In the end, only Murong Qingcheng, Xiao Li, Lan Bai, and Shen Yaotian were left.
"I'm sure that Murong Qingcheng will still be first in the second round!"
"Of course! Even a fool can see that! "
"She's indeed a genius. Not only is she beautiful, but her strength is also unparalleled!"
"Whoever marries such a woman will definitely be blessed for ten lifetimes!"
Everyone was discussing with envy in their eyes.
Soon, Lan Bai opened her eyes and sighed as she was teleported out.
Not long after, Shen Yaotian was also teleported out.
There were only two people left in the square.
Shen Yaotian realized that Lin Xuan had already been teleported out. Then, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"Trash. Not only do you have no bloodline power, but your willpower is also trash. So what if you're in the lead for a while?"
"The path of martial arts is a test of comprehensive strength!"
"I'll let you know who the real genius is!"
Shen Yaotian was extremely heroic. He could not wait to fight Lin Xuan and trample him under his feet.
In his opinion, Lin Xuan must not have passed through the illusion and was teleported out in advance.
Lin Xuan ignored Shen Yaotian. Instead, he stared at the two figures in the square.
Xiao Li was a swordsman. He possessed saber intent and had even condensed a saber soul. His willpower was extremely strong and was much stronger than ordinary martial artists. Lin Xuan knew that.
Therefore, he speculated that Xiao Li would definitely be able to persevere until the end.
However, Murong Qingcheng's performance was beyond his expectations.
Lin Xuan had always been unable to see through this famous genius. He did not know what her Martial Soul was, and he did not even know what her cultivation level was.
However, he was sure that Chen Xi had definitely entered the Exalt Realm a long time ago. Moreover, it would seem like Chen Xi's natural talent and will were top-rate existences.
"As expected of the Blessed Daughter of the Heavens, she is indeed valiant!"
On the square, several elders looked at the beautiful figure and nodded in satisfaction.
Time passed slowly as everyone waited anxiously. They had never thought that there would be someone who could compete with Murong Qingcheng.
Suddenly, Xiao Li furrowed his brows. His body glowed with white light as he was teleported out.
"It's out. Looks like the outcome has been decided!"
"Murong Qingcheng wins!" Murong Qingcheng's supporters cheered.
Not long after, Murong Qingcheng was also teleported out.
Her forehead was covered with a layer of sparkling and translucent sweat. It seemed that persevering until now was also very difficult for her.
"Alright, the second stage is over. Those who have persisted for more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn have passed the test."
Quite a few people sighed and hung their heads in dejection. It was because the second round had eliminated close to half of the people.
And those who passed were nervously calculating their rankings.
Shen Yaotian's lips curled up in satisfaction because he discovered that he was ranked third.
If he could reach the top three in the combat test, then his overall ranking would be in the top three. At that time, after entering the academy, he would receive a reward for being in the top three.
The rewards of the Immortal Martial Academy were extremely generous!
"We will now announce the rankings," the red-robed elder said in a clear voice.
"The first place of the second stage is Lin Xuan."
"What? Lin Xuan!? "
Everyone was stunned, especially those who were teleported out after Lin Xuan. All of them had astonished expressions on their faces, as if they had heard wrongly.
From their perspective, the first place would definitely be Murong Qingcheng because she was the one who had persisted until the end.
Even Murong Qingcheng herself was astonished. Her beautiful eyes stared at Lin Xuan, filled with curiosity and astonishment.
Xiao Li, Lan Bai, and the other geniuses were also puzzled.
"This is impossible. Wasn't that brat teleported out very early on?!"
"Elder, did you guys make a mistake?" Shen Yaotian cried out loudly.
He didn't want Lin Xuan to take advantage of a loophole and gain a huge advantage.
There were also many cultivators who were doubtful.
However, some other cultivators were silent because they knew why Lin Xuan was judged to be first.
Even the official disciples had strange expressions on their faces as they remained silent.
Those cultivators who were clamoring about the unfairness seemed to have noticed the situation and quickly asked about it. After knowing the situation, they were all shocked.
Gradually, the quarreling in the square became softer.
Shen Yaotian was still shouting loudly, "I don't understand. Elder, please enlighten me!"
He wouldn't let Lin Xuan get first place!
"Stop quarreling!" The red-robed elder pressed down with both hands, emitting a powerful aura.
Instantly, the entire square quietened down.
"Look at Lin Xuan's Profound Jade Platform and you will understand."
Hearing this, everyone looked over and exclaimed. Shen Yaotian's body also stiffened, stunned.
"The Profound Jade Platform shattered? How is that possible?! "
He naturally knew the function of the Profound Jade Platform. It was absolutely impossible to break that thing! At least with their current strength and cultivation, it was impossible to do so.
However, the Profound Jade Platform that Lin Xuan was sitting on had actually shattered into two. This was too shocking.
For a moment, Shen Yaotian's mind went blank. He was stunned on the spot.
Murong Qingcheng, Xiao Li, and the others also gasped.
They had just experienced the illusion, so they naturally knew how dangerous it was. Lin Xuan was actually able to break the Profound Jade Platform. Didn't this mean that the illusion had no effect on him at all?!
If that was the case, then it was too terrifying.
"After our analysis, we have decided that the first place is Lin Xuan," the red-robed elder said. "Anyone who is interested can say it."
Everyone was silent. No one spoke.
What a joke. Lin Xuan had even shattered the Profound Jade Platform. Who would dare to object?
Shen Yaotian had also recovered from his shock. However, his expression was extremely ugly.
Not long ago, he was still feeling smug, thinking that Lin Xuan's willpower was not enough and that he would be eliminated early. Who knew that he would not be affected at all? Not only did he obtain a piece of land, but he even broke the Profound Jade Platform!
Thinking back to his previous performance, he realized that he was like a clown. It was extremely laughable.
Shen Yaotian's body trembled. He gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice, "After entering the academy, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Murong Qingchen, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xuan with joy in her eyes.
It wasn't a big deal to her that she didn't get first place. However, the incident this time made her discover something strange about Lin Xuan. This made her even more determined to subdue Lin Xuan.
As if feeling Murong Qingcheng's burning gaze, Lin Xuan helplessly rubbed his nose.
In the distance, Yan Qingyang's expression was gloomy as he clenched his fists.
He had already seen Murong Qingchen as his woman for a long time. But now, her performance had made him furious.
"Lin Xuan, right? After entering the academy, I will properly teach you how to behave!"
