Hearing this, Old Man Mu looked at Ling Tian and nodded his head. Seeing this, Ling Tian turned around and cupped his hands towards Elder Li,""Please advise me." "Brat, since you want to die, then don't blame me.”Elder Li said furiously when he heard this. With that, he sent Han Xue flying with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist, sending out an Ice Splitting Fist towards Ling Tian.
The fist force absorbed a large amount of white light and formed a white fist with a diameter of one meter. The fist emitted an extremely cold aura as it flew towards Ling Tian, causing the ground to freeze and crack.
Ling Tian was already prepared for this, and the sword in his hand had changed to an intermediate ancient treasure sword. Seeing the incoming fist print, he immediately unleashed the move he had been accumulating his strength for a long time, the Flaming Tornado Slash. A flaming sword emerged from the fiery red tornado to meet the icy fist print. Ling Tian didn't stop after this attack and continued to slash out three more times.
When the icy fist collided with the flaming sword, the flames and ice melted continuously. In the end, the flaming sword disappeared and only half of the icy fist remained. Moreover, there was a crack in the middle that almost cut it in half. At this moment, Ling Tian sent out three streaks of flaming sword qi. After the three streaks of sword qi, the fist imprint was reduced by half and the cracks were completely split open. The fist imprint was split in half and half of it was sent flying by the sword qi while the other half continued to attack Ling Tian.
Ling Tian had no time to swing his sword and could only place it horizontally in front of his chest.”The rest of the fist print landed on the sword and Ling Tian was sent flying backwards.
"Wow!" Ling Tian stood up and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood contained ice crystals and his chest was also frozen. Looking at the frozen sword in his hand, Ling Tian clasped his hands towards Elder Li and said,""Thank you for showing mercy, Elder Li.”"Humph!" Elder Li snorted coldly and turned his head away.
On the other hand, Han Xue and Li Qian 'er ran over to Ling Tian's side to ask if he was alright. They even checked on his injuries and fed him some pills. Seeing this, Elder Li snorted coldly again and said,""Alright, this kid won't die.”With that, he waved his sleeves and left. Hearing this, Han Xue passed the jade bottle to Ling Tian and left with Elder Li. Li Qian 'er chatted with Ling Tian for a while before leaving.
Only Ling Tian and Old Man Mu were left in the courtyard. Looking at the ruined courtyard, Ling Tian cupped his hands towards Old Man Mu,""Thank you for today, Senior. Otherwise, even if he was fine, my courtyard and the surrounding area would be finished.”
"This is nothing. After all, this is not only your courtyard, but also my Blue Cloud Peak's area.”Old Man Mu waved his hand. It turned out that when Ling Tian received Elder Li's attack, Old Man Mu had not only protected Li Qian 'er, he had also protected the entire courtyard, preventing the shockwaves from spreading out. Suddenly, the old man surnamed Mu said,"Brat, today's matter is ultimately because your strength is insufficient. Otherwise, Elder Li wouldn't have used his power to oppress others."”Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded his head. How could he not understand such a simple logic? However, he did not want to offend this old man who was much stronger than Elder Li. Hence, he said,"Senior, please guide me."
" Yes." Seeing this, the old man surnamed Mu nodded." After all, I haven't truly broken through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm yet, so I don't want to offend the Rainbow Cloud Peak too much." "Of course, if not for the fact that too many experts of my Green Cloud Peak died in that battle, even the Peak Master died in that battle, my Green Cloud Peak would not be afraid of his Rainbow Cloud Peak. And now, if you really want to be with that little girl of yours, it will depend on your own strength.”
Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded his head. How could he not know that a bet could really make Elder Li let go? What a joke. At most, she would stop coming to settle scores with him so brazenly. The old man said this to say that he wouldn't care too much. Ling Tian estimated that Han Xue would be grounded by Elder Li before the Youth Tournament. The reason why he said that was because Han Xue had also registered to participate.
"Based on your performance today, you are qualified to be my disciple. However, your talent doesn't seem to be very good.”At this moment, the old man surnamed Mu suddenly said after pondering for a long time,"How about this, I'll take you in as an in-name disciple. What do you think?”Hearing this, Ling Tian felt that it was a little too sudden. He had never thought of wanting to acknowledge a master, but his eyes flashed as he still went up to pay his respects,""Greetings, Master."
"Yes." Seeing this, Old Man Mu nodded in satisfaction and stroked his beard."Your pants are not bad. Do your best in this Youth Meet. I hope you can get a good ranking, so that I can decide if I want to take you in as an official disciple. I still have some free time now. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me.”Hearing this, Ling Tian pondered for a moment before asking Old Man Mu a few questions that were not related to cultivation techniques. Old Man Mu then answered Ling Tian's questions one by one. This made Ling Tian sigh at the benefits of having a master. With just a few words, he was enlightened and had a deeper understanding of cultivation.
Two hours later, Old Man Mu left after giving Ling Tian some pointers. Ling Tian then started to clean up his own courtyard and make preparations for the battle three days later. As for acknowledging Old Man Mu as his master, Ling Tian had already thought about it carefully. Not to mention that rejecting him would offend Old Man Mu, just having a master meant that he would have a strong backing. In the future, he would not encounter such a situation again.
Moreover, the old man's cultivation was enough to help him a lot. If the old man could break through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he would become one of the giants of the Northern Wind Sect. One had to know that on the surface, the North Wind Sect was stronger than the three Grand Elders and the sect master. Below them were the seventeen peak masters and deputy peak masters, and below them were the elders. There was no doubt that the three grand elders and the sect master were in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Other than that, the other three peak masters were also in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Of course, from what Ling Tian knew, the peak leaders of the first five peaks were all in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and the Rainbow Cloud Peak was the fourth peak. Previously, Ling Tian already knew that the Sect Master was the First Peak's Main Peak Master.
Therefore, the Northern Wind Sect had a total of eight Heavenly Spirit Realm experts. If the old man surnamed Mu broke through, he would be the ninth Heavenly Spirit Realm expert. His status was self-evident. As for whether the Northern Wind Sect had any hidden experts, Ling Tian had no idea. The elders were all Profound World Realm experts, and the outer elders were also in the early Profound World Realm. Inner Elders like Elder Li were in the middle stage of the Profound World Realm, while the other Peak Masters and Deputy Peak Masters were in the late or peak stage of the Profound World Realm. This was Ling Tian's understanding of the Northern Wind Sect over the past ten years.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the Youth Tournament had arrived. First was the sect's selection competition to determine the young experts in the sect. Then, the two queens would be the real competition of the three sects. Each sect could only have twenty people to participate, which was the top twenty people decided by the internal selection. This time, the Three Sect Youth Competition was held in the North Wind Sect, which meant that only the two sects would send people to participate in the competition. This morning, Ling Tian arrived at the martial arts arena of the main peak of the sect. The competition would be held here and there were over a thousand people participating, which was considered quite a lot. The total number of core disciples, elite disciples, and personal disciples was only 35,000 to 36,000. Among them, nearly two-thirds of them exceeded the age requirement.
Therefore, it was already considered a lot for one-tenth of the people to participate. The competition started with an elimination round. There were a total of 100 groups, and each group of 10 people would choose the strongest person to enter the next round of competition. Ling Tian had drawn 76 groups, and his luck was not bad. Thus, without any suspense, Ling Tian advanced to the next round. However, he did not reveal his true strength in the competition, or rather, he did not use any sword or any other weapons. He did not even use his sword qi, and he defeated his opponent with just his battle qi and physical body.
After three days of elimination, Han Xue had also advanced. As for Li Qian 'er, she didn't participate at all because her actual combat strength might not even be comparable to an early stage Zun realm expert. Thus, she decided to cheer for Ling Tian and Han Xue. What was worth a load was that Feng Ling 'er had also come to cheer for Ling Tian. She stood beside Li Qian' er and looked at Ling Tian on stage with sparkling eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
However, from time to time, she would look at Han Xue on the other side of the stage and Li Qian 'er beside her with an unknown emotion surging in her eyes. Three days later, Ling Tian had a rough understanding of the strength of the disciples in the sect.
Most of the people who had advanced were at the peak of the Supreme Realm like himself, some were at the late stage of the Supreme Realm, and some were at the Saint Realm like Han Xue. A few of them caught Ling Tian's attention. They were the stronger ones among the Saint Ranks.
During the competition, Ling Tian had gained some understanding of the overall strength of the Northern Wind Sect. Not to mention anything else, just the youths below the age of 40 who participated in the competition were all at the Supreme realm. At the same time, Ling Tian also met one of the strongest members of the Northern Wind Sect. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he looked quite spirited.
Ling Tian could feel his aura, and it was indeed not something that Old Man Mu could compare to. The semi-finals would be held in pairs, and the top fifteen would be selected. Then, five people would be selected from the losers, and a total of twenty people would participate in the final ranking competition. There were three rounds in the semi-finals. In the first round, Ling Tian met a black-robed youth who used a saber. Ling Tian fought with him for a long time before finally getting close to him and sending him off the stage with a punch.
When he was below the stage, he said," Heavens, aren't you the best at using swords? Why didn't you finish him off with a single strike?" Li Qian 'er asked as she wiped Ling Tian's sweat with a handkerchief. Feng Ling 'er also passed Ling Tian a cup of water and stared at him without blinking. This was because she liked to ask Ling Tian for answers whenever she had any questions regarding cultivation. In the past, she was like this when she was just an in-name disciple. Now that she had become a personal disciple and had a master who was stronger than Ling Tian, she was still like this.
The feeling Ling Tian gave her was like a master who taught her cultivation, but also like her family, her big brother. Thus, every time she saw Ling Tian, she would call him big brother Ling Tian. Even if she had grown into a mature and beautiful lady, she would still call him big brother Ling Tian.
Seeing this, Ling Tian smiled and said,""I don't want to reveal my full strength yet. They knew nothing about me when I knew their strength. They had the wrong idea that I was only good at melee combat, which made it easier for me to win. Also, it's easy for me to win, so why not take this opportunity to practice my close combat skills!”"Oh!" The two girls nodded in understanding.
In this round, Ling Tian met a Saint ranked lady who also cultivated the ice attribute. However, she was not like Han Xue and was emitting a cold aura, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. The moment Ling Tian stepped onto the stage, she said coldly,"? You can leave the stage yourself. I don't want to turn you into ice.
Seeing the woman, Ling Tian knew that he might not be able to win if he did not use his sword. Thus, he could only take out the mid-tier ancient treasure sword from his storage ring. "You use a sword?" Seeing this, the woman opposite him frowned and said. Hearing this, Ling Tian smiled and replied,"Yes, I am a swordsman. You've hidden your strength, but no matter how much you hide it, you're not my match. The woman opposite him said indifferently. Ling Tian suddenly laughed," If you weren't so cold, you would definitely be very beautiful and there would be many people chasing after you."I'm Ling Tian, what about you?"
"You don't deserve to know my name." The woman said calmly, before taking out a cold sword and charging towards Ling Tian.? Clang!
Ling Tian's sword parried the woman's sword before stabbing towards her again,
Hiss!
The woman's clothes were torn open, revealing her fair skin. However, she did not scream in anger or blush in embarrassment like other women. Instead, she only looked at the torn part of her clothes before looking at Ling Tian, who had stopped, before spitting out a single word," Leng Yan." This should be her name, indicating that she acknowledged Ling Tian's strength.
The woman put away her contempt and arrogance, leaving behind only coldness. The cold air on her body suddenly burst out, and the stage under her feet began to freeze. She raised the long sword in her hand and said, Frost Sword? Then, he raised his sword and charged towards Ling Tian.
