Asura Continent

Three days later, the second round of the competition began. The disciples of the ten great sects were gathered at Heavenly Dipper Peak.

After everyone had sat down, Kong Zhen walked onto the stage and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, I suggest that we decide on the top two sects first. Then, we choose the strongest sects from the Losers Group to fight against the defeated sects. The winner will enter the finals and fight for first place. The defeated sects will obtain third place.

Everyone looked at each other. There was no point in it. After all, the result of the competition was already very clear.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Kong Zhen continued, "Since no one has any objections, then let the competition begin. The disciples of the Heavenly Dipper, Nine Mystical Sect and Demon Snow Sect will go on stage next. The three major sects are not competing in drawing lots anymore. The Heavenly Dipper Sect will fight with the two major sects over Duan Feng. Whoever wins the Heavenly Dipper Sect will enter the finals. If the Nine Mystical Sect and Demon Snow Sect were to lose, they will fight for the qualification to participate in the semifinals.

The elder from the Demon Snow Sect stood up and said, "The Demon Snow Sect has given up on fighting against the Heavenly Dipper Sect. Just admit defeat."

Kong Zhen smiled faintly, as if he had already known this would happen. He turned to Fang Xuande and asked, "Junior brother Fang, are you going to challenge the Heavenly Dipper Sect?"

Fang Xuande was not stupid; not only was he unable to obtain victory in the challenge, Lu Yang and the rest might even be seriously injured. He said, "The Nine Mystical Sect admits defeat."

Kong Zhen nodded his head as he looked at the two elders and said, "The two great sects will admit defeat directly. Today is the first match between the Demon Snow Sect and the Nine Mystical Sect. Do either side have a choice?"

The Demon Snow Sect naturally wouldn't admit defeat. The strength of their sect was there, and they didn't place any importance on the Nine Mystical Sect.

Fang Xuande wanted to admit defeat; after all, there was no possibility of winning. He was just about to open his mouth, when Sun Wenhao said, "Elder Fang, if we admit defeat now, wouldn't we be mocked by the various sects? "Since the Nine Mystical Sect's ranking has reached this point, it can be said that they are a dark horse. Who can say for sure that they won't win this battle?"

Fang Xuande glared at him and snappily asked, "Do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"I think it's very possible!" Sun Wenhao glanced at Lu Yang and said, "Three days ago, in the battle against the Charm Palace, there was no possibility of winning. So, Lu Yang turned the tide and obtained victory in one fell swoop, right?"

"Can this be the same as three days ago?" Fang Xuande said coldly.

"How is it different? I think junior brother Lu will win." Sun Wenhao obviously wanted Lu Yang to go on stage. Only by doing this could he use his opponent to teach Lu Yang a lesson.

Seeing how Fang Xuande had remained silent for so long, the dancers couldn't help but stand up and mock him, "Junior brother Fang, you're not planning on directly admitting defeat, are you?"

Sun Qinghong coldly snorted and said, "The Nine Mystical Sect was even able to defeat the Charm Palace. Clearly, they do have some strength. If I admit defeat just like that, wouldn't I become a laughingstock in the cultivation world of the Western Chu Nation? "

The Demon Snow Sect didn't seem to mind. The Elder said: "Brother Fang, if you think it's impossible, then just admit defeat, in case the disciples of the Demon Snow Sect get beaten up and get seriously injured."

Compete, or not compete? Fang Xuande hesitated before turning to Lu Yang, "Fight?"

Lu Yang was about to speak, but Sun Wenhao was the first to speak, "Junior brother Lu, I favor you. If you go on stage, I believe you will definitely win."

"If I go, will you?" Lu Yang knew what Sun Wenhao was thinking and snorted coldly.

Sun Wenhao wasn't angry. He nodded and said, "If you do, then I'll do it."

"Alright, you go first!" Lu Yang said directly.

Sun Wenhao was surprised and said, "Should I go first?"

"Of course, did you go back on your word?" Lu Yang asked with a smile.

Sun Wenhao clenched his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll go right away." He thought to himself, "I can't bear to have a child who can't hide a wolf, and a woman who can't hide a hooligan."

Like this, Sun Wenhao represented the Nine Mystical Sect and was the first to step onto the stage. Facing the disciples of the Demon Snow Sect, he cupped his fists together and said, "Nine Mystical Sect disciple, Sun Wenhao, cultivation at the fifth level of the Refinement Stage."

Opposite him was a man of seventeen or eighteen years of age. He was fair and clean, with a very seductive appearance. He looked more like a woman.

Not only that, Liu Xinyu's tone of voice was also similar to that of a man, he chuckled and said: "Ouch! The head disciple of the Nine Mystical Sect has come, but your cultivation is too low! "

With such sissy words, Sun Wenhao felt a wave of nausea and said, "Cut the crap and make your move!"

"Since you want to quickly go down, then I won't waste any time." Liu Xinyu quickly formed a hand seal, and as he made his hand seal, his speed became faster and faster. He shouted in a low voice, "Ice and snow, everything is frozen …"

The moment these eight words were said, a huge wave of energy was released from Liu Xinyu's body. The temperature on the stage plummeted, instantly dropping to -30 degrees Celsius. Not only that, but countless snowflakes began falling from the sky. These snowflakes didn't have any offensive power, but the surrounding temperature was too low. Sun Wenhao had no choice but to cast a spell to resist the low temperature.

Sun Wenhao used a spiritual energy shield to wrap himself in it. There were five lines on the shield, which proved that he was at the 5th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. Feeling that the surrounding temperature was still decreasing, Sun Wenhao's expression became exceptionally ugly. He was certain that if he continued to lower the temperature, the spiritual energy shield would collapse and he would freeze into an ice cube.

Sure enough, not long after, cracks appeared on the spirit energy shield and the cracks continued to expand. When they expanded to a certain extent, there was a clatter as the shield collapsed, turning into specks of light that disappeared into the air. At the same time, an extremely cold stream of air rushed towards Sun Wenhao. At such a fast speed, Sun Wenhao didn't have any time to defend. He was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Liu Xinyu chuckled. He walked to Sun Wenhao's side and caressed his back. "Your cultivation is too low. You can't even block a single spell of mine. You should go back and practice for a few more years!" As he said this, he raised his hand and kicked Sun Wenhao away. He turned towards the direction of the disciples of the Nine Mystical Sect and said, "Who else wants to become an ice sculpture?"

Fang Xuande was extremely surprised in his heart. Looking at Sun Wenhao who was kicked away, he sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect this!" The disciples of the Demon Snow Sect have also taken out their most powerful magic techniques. It seems like they know that they can only get into the top three. After saying this, he cast a spell on Sun Wenhao's body. When the spell landed on his body, the ice on Sun Wenhao's body melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the ice block disappeared. Sun Wenhao regained his consciousness. He gasped for breath, and then said with a trembling voice, "So cold, it kills me. I'm so cold …" With that, he absent-mindedly ran towards Wang Liqun, wanting to throw himself into Wang Liqun's arms to warm himself.

Wang Liqun's expression changed greatly. He kicked him aside and angrily said, "Scram to the side! Don't come and hug me!"

This kick cleared Sun Wenhao's mind. He thought of the scene just now and felt a burst of fear. He pointed at Wang Liqun and said, "You dare to kick me. Next, you go up?"

"Me?" Wang Liqun glared at him and roared in anger, "Sun Wenhao, you have repaid the debt of gratitude with an enemy …"

"Repaying kindness with enmity? You owe me shit. " Sun Wenhao coldly snorted and said, "You're not the only one who wants to go. Wang Wu and Wang Liu also want to go on stage …"

Wang Li Qun was about to curse angrily, but Wang Wu pulled him back and said, "Young Master, aren't you letting us go on stage? Let's just admit defeat. "

Hearing this, Wang Liqun chuckled and said to Liu Xinyu on the stage, "I admit defeat..."

"We admit defeat as well." Wang Wu and Wang Liu said in unison.

Liu Xinyu giggled, she raised her bangs like a woman and said: "Interesting, this is the first time I've seen three people admit defeat, and the last one also admit defeat?"

Sun Wenhao was so angry! He did not expect Wang Liqun to play such a trick. He looked at Lu Yang and said, "Are you going to admit defeat too?"

Lu Yang had indeed thought of admitting defeat, but if he were to admit defeat now, would the Nine Mystical Sect still have the face to do so? After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I will not admit defeat …" He also wanted to have a real match. After all, he had trained in the Spiritual Energy Shield for so many years. He didn't know if he would be able to withstand Liu Xinyu's technique.

Lu Yang walked up the stage step by step. Without even greeting them, he said directly, "Let's begin!"

Liu Xinyu stared at Lu Yang for a few moments, then smiled and said: "Kid, the technique of the Demon Snow Sect is different from the Charm Palace. Your cultivation is unable to withstand it."

"Let's begin!" Lu Yang repeated himself.

Liu Xinyu snorted coldly, and said: "Brat, since you want to be frozen into an ice sculpture, I'll grant you that wish." Saying that, he once again cast the ice spell.

The nine great spiritual roots didn't have ice affinity spiritual roots, but the ice magic came from water attributed spiritual roots. When a water attributed spiritual root cultivator used a special method to transform their spiritual roots into water attributed spiritual roots, they would be able to cast ice attributed magic. As the saying goes, blue is better than blue, ice in water and cold in water. As long as they knew the specific cultivation method, water-type spiritual roots could also cultivate ice-type magic, and the Demon Snow Sect just so happened to grasp this method.

The temperature of the arena dropped once again, and the cold wind howled in the air. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fluttered down from the air.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered by a thick layer, and the temperature reached -30 degrees Celsius.

Lu Yang felt that all the blood in his body was about to freeze. He was still persevering, and when he was truly unable to persevere any longer, he let out a low shout and cast a spirit energy shield. As soon as the shield appeared, it kept the cold away and Lu Yang's body slowly recovered. Other than the fact that the Spiritual Qi in his body was running out a little faster, he wasn't feeling uncomfortable at all.

"A small spiritual energy shield wants to block my Demon Snow Sect's spell. I think you want to be frozen into an ice sculpture like that idiot just now …" However, just as he said that, Liu Xinyu realized that something was wrong. Because the shield Lu Yang used had ten lines on it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible, you're only at Qi Disciple level 2. Why do you have ten lines?"

Upon hearing these words, the crowd also realized the peculiarity of this matter. In an instant, many people began to discuss about it in hushed tones.

"Could this kid be hiding his cultivation? Is he a cultivator at Mortal Realm Stage 10?"

"Hide my ass!" With his age right there, even if he took the Hidden Dan, he wouldn't be able to escape from our senses, right? "

"Since that's the case, then what kind of magic technique did he train in? Could it be that this isn't a Spiritual Energy Shield?"

"..."

Everyone chatted for a long time, but no one was able to explain the reason. Kong Zhen's eyebrows twitched as he asked, "Lu Yang, you've hidden your cultivation?"

Lu Yang knew that he couldn't explain this matter well, as it would lead to murder. He rolled his eyes, looked at Daoist Tian Long, and said, "Senior, I believe senior must know if disciple has hidden his cultivation."

Daoist Master Tianlong was also puzzled, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he pretended to understand everything, coughed lightly and said, "Lu Yang did not hide his cultivation, he is indeed at the 2nd level of the Refinement Stage. I think that because he has Heaven's End Spirit Root, he can cultivate all kinds of lost martial arts techniques and spells. If I don't guess too much, this will be the legendary 'Six Corporeal Divine Shield'. "

Kong Zhen suddenly came to a realization. In order to show off his vast knowledge, he said, "Yes, Sect Leader is right. This is the legendary Six Paths of Divine Powers. I originally thought that this sacred art had been lost. I didn't expect it to actually exist." He paused for a moment, waved his sleeves and continued, "Lu Yang is not breaking the rules, the competition will continue …"
