Yan Xing is also a celebrity in the Jiuyang Dao Courtyard.

It's not because he's talented and strong.

It's that he, as a descendant of the Yan family, one of the five famous families, ranked last in the big exam for the first time, and after entering the Taoist Academy, he didn't even get a place for a yellow-level disciple.

Because of this, I don't know how many people laugh at Yan Xing in private.

However, ridicule is ridicule, seeing Yan Xing on the field, everyone present was not surprised, but took it for granted.

If it hadn't been for the bad luck of bumping into Lin Shen, with Yan Xing's strength, he would have been a yellow-level disciple a long time ago.

It was to be expected that he would be on the field at this time.

Yan Xing's challenge target is an old student in the Pneumatic Realm.

When he heard Yan Xing name himself, the old student's face turned blue.

And the result was not surprising, at the beginning of the battle, the old student was directly slapped away by Yan Xing's palm, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Sure enough, Yan Xing has also been promoted to the Long Breath Realm!"

"After all, it is a descendant of the Yan family, and there is Yan Jingren, the eldest brother, and there are many resources, so it is not surprising that he has been promoted to the Long Rest Realm."

"That's right, I heard that Zhao Xueying and Xue Feng have also been promoted to the Long Rest Realm."

The chatter was endless.

Yan Xing's face was expressionless, he glanced in Lin Shen's direction, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately stepped off the high platform.

After Yan Xing, no one challenged again.

After waiting for a minute or two, seeing that no one had come to the stage, the deacon loudly announced that the challenge of the yellow-level disciples was over, and the next step was to start the challenge of the Xuan-level disciples.

As soon as the words fell, at least more than half of the eyes in the square fell on Lin Shen.

Schadenfreude, ridicule, pity, curiosity, anticipation. There are different kinds of eyes.

In an instant, Lin Shen became the most eye-catching existence on the field!

Almost everyone knew that among the Xuan-level disciple challenges, the first one to be challenged was definitely Lin Shen.

And the fact is also the same, after more than ten seconds of eerie silence, the first disciple jumped out.

"Disciple Luo Bochun, challenge Xuan-level disciple Lin Shen!"

Luo Bochun's actions were like pressing a switch, and many disciples came out one after another.

"Disciple Zhan Binglong, challenge Xuan-level disciple Lin Shen!"

"Disciple Wang Bing, challenge Xuan-level disciple Lin Shen!"

"Disciple Shen Cheng, challenge Xuan-level disciple Lin Shen!"

"Disciple."

In the blink of an eye, there were more than 20 disciples standing on the high platform.

Even if it was expected, many people still saw this scene with straight eyes.

Throughout the previous level challenges, there has never been a situation where more than twenty yellow-level disciples have rushed to challenge the same Xuan-level disciple.

The scene that took place in front of their eyes left many people crying out in amazement.

On the high platform, more than 20 challengers all stared at Lin Shen with blazing eyes.

It's not that they all see Lin Shen as unpleasant, and challenge him out of jealousy, but more out of the intention of picking soft persimmons.

Lin Shen only took three months before and after entering the Taoist Academy, and when he cultivated to the top of the sky, he would rest for two or three floors, and put it in the tail of the crane among the Xuan-level disciples!

Or the weakest kind ever!

Such a challenge object is rare in ten years, and if you don't take advantage of the challenge now, when will you wait?

"Obediently, none of Duan Hao, Cheng Xipeng, Luo Bochun, and Zhan Binglong have cultivated below the third layer of long-term breath, and this lineup is too luxurious!"

"I've seen it for the first time I've seen it in so many level challenges!"

"Lin Shen is in trouble now!"

"Hey, look over there!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, but another person jumped onto the platform.

It was Yan Xing, who had just been promoted to a yellow-level disciple!

His gaze shot straight at Lin Shen in the crowd like a sharp sword, and his face was full of undisguised provocation.

Noticing Yan Xing's gaze, Lin Shen smiled slightly, unmoved.

"Yan Xing, why did this guy come to join in the fun?" Yang Zhongyi frowned.

Su Nian glanced at Yan Xing and frowned: "It is estimated that he wants to avenge the big exam!" ”

A corner of the square.

The leaders watched this scene, and they also showed meaningful looks.

Ke Ya's eyes fell on Lin Shen, and his mood was slightly complicated.

To be honest, he still has a very good impression of Lin Shen.

Born in an ordinary place, but there is no lack of hard work and perseverance, and the qualifications are amazingly good.

But he was involved in the whirlpool of the struggle between the sects, and he was involuntarily pushed to this stage.

Once he loses the quota of Xuan-level disciples, even if he has a worry-free future, the temporary trough cannot be avoided, and he only hopes that Lin Shen can get out of it as soon as possible even if he falls into a trough.

On the high platform, after Yan Xing came up, the number of challengers suddenly increased to twenty-five.

Looking at the crowd on the stage, the deacon in charge of the presiding officer was obviously a little stunned, he had never encountered such a situation.

After a while, the deacon came back to his senses and asked:

"Which of you will play first?"

Challengers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all silent.

Obviously, no one wants to give up this incredible opportunity.

Seeing this, the deacon was about to speak, when suddenly a voice rang out.

"I'll come first!"

Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Yan Xing who spoke.

He looked around, his eyes coldly swept over the challengers on the stage, and said lightly:

"Which of you has an opinion?"

The expressions of the challengers froze, and many of them had a look of annoyance in their eyes, but they couldn't say anything against it.

They could laugh at Yan Xing in private, but they didn't dare to offend this descendant of the Yan family, Yan Jingren's own brother, in person.

Not everyone has an amazing talent like Lin Shen and can be protected by the master of the courtyard.

Once you offend Yan Xing, you won't have a good time in the Daoist Academy in the future.

Seeing the look of everyone who dared to be angry and dare not speak, a touch of contempt flashed in Yan Xing's eyes, and he immediately turned his head to look at Duan Hao and Cheng Xipeng.

Among these challengers on the stage, the only ones who can make him a little scruple are Duan Hao and Cheng Xipeng.

Although these two people are from the top ten families, one is backed by the Xue family and the other is backed by the Chong family, if they really want to take care of it, they may not be afraid of Yan Xing, so they will give in.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Yan Xing's aggressive gaze, Duan Hao smiled slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Senior Brother Yan, let's come first."

Cheng Xipeng, who was on the side, glanced at Duan Hao in surprise, hesitated, stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything.

The two people at the top of the challenge rank all retreated, and the others naturally had nothing to say, and they didn't want to offend Yan Xing, so they were silent.

Seeing this, Yan Xing smiled proudly in his heart, Huo Ran turned around, and stared at Lin Shen in the audience.

"Lin Shen, do you dare to come up and fight with me?"

As soon as these words came out, many eyes focused on Lin Shen.

Compared with Duan Hao and Cheng Xipeng, or other yellow-level disciples of the third layer of long-term breath, Yan Xing, who had just been promoted not long ago, was closer to Lin Shen in cultivation.

Therefore, the contest between these two is undoubtedly more interesting!

For a while, many disciples showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.

In front of everyone's eyes, Lin Shen smiled faintly.

"Why don't you dare!"

The moment the words fell, his figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than twenty meters and appeared on the high platform.

This sudden hand made the surrounding crowd let out a low exclamation.

Many challengers are even more abrupt and secretly awe-inspiring.

With such a ghostly speed, if it were suddenly used in battle, it would probably catch them off guard.

Yan Xing was also taken aback, but he quickly returned to normal, and secretly sneered in his heart.

As long as you have precautions, what if you are faster?

What's more, after this period of retreat and cultivation, he has not only been promoted to the Longevity Realm, but his cultivation has already reached the second level of Longevity.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Xing has the confidence to come to the stage to challenge Lin Shen.

He made up his mind that he must defeat Lin Shen fiercely today, the shame of the big exam, let everyone know that he is stronger and better than Lin Shen!

"The first challenger has been decided, and the rest of the people are going quickly." The deacon said in a deep voice.

The rest of the challengers looked at each other and reluctantly stepped off the platform.

Many people sighed, with a painful expression of flesh that reached their mouths and was snatched away.

Walking off the high platform, Cheng Xipeng finally couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, poked Duan Hao's arm with his elbow, and asked in a low voice:

"Duan Hao, what are you up to? Why did you give Yan Xing the opportunity to challenge Lin Shen, others are afraid of him, I don't believe you are afraid too! ”

Although Cheng Xipeng is a fourth-level cultivator of Changxi, this level of cultivation abounds among Xuan-level disciples.

Challenging other Xuan-level disciples, he was not completely sure that he would succeed.

So he didn't want to give up this opportunity either.

If he hadn't understood Duan Hao and knew that he was not a character who would give in to Yan Xing for no reason, Cheng Xipeng would not have flinched at all.

Duan Hao glanced at Cheng Xipeng, revealing a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"What's the hurry, how could Lin Shen be defeated so easily?"

What do you mean by that?"

"You know about the recruitment mission of the Martial Arts Hall some time ago, right?"

"Of course."

Cheng Xipeng didn't want to nod.

That incident made a big fuss, and the entire Taoist Academy spread all over it, how could he not know.

"But what does that have to do with what you just said?"

Duan Hao smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice:

"I overheard a clan brother from the Martial Arts Hall say that Lin Shen also participated in that mission, and he and the three people in the same team not only killed hundreds of the most fierce victories, but also successfully escaped from the hands of two evil path cultivators who had been breathing for a long time at the seventh layer!"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Xipeng was taken aback, opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a few seconds before he hesitated:

"Could it be three people on the same team?"

Duan Hao understood what he meant, shook his head and said: "I have also inquired about the three people, one is Zhao Xueying of our Dao Academy, at most the second layer of long-term rest, and the other two are from the Qingshuang Dao Academy, I don't know the specific strength, but according to what my clan brother said, it will not exceed the third layer of long-term breath at most!" ”

Cheng Xipeng was silent for a moment.

If this is true, it undoubtedly means that their previous estimation of Lin Shen's strength was ridiculously wrong.

Lin Shen's strength cultivation is likely to be far beyond everyone's imagination, and it is definitely more than the second or third layer of long-term rest.

If this is the case, it may be a wrong choice for them to challenge Lin Shen.

"What are you going to do?" Cheng Xipeng looked at Duan Hao.

Duan Hao pursed his mouth and motioned to Yan Xing on the high platform.

"That's why I let Yan Xing go up first and test Lin Shen's strength, if Lin Shen is really much stronger than we expected, then immediately give up the challenge and replace it with other goals, so as not to waste his merits in vain!"

After saying that, Duan Hao found that Cheng Xipeng was staring at him intently, with a strange look in his eyes as if he was meeting him for the first time.

What's wrong?"

"Why didn't I find out before that you were so despicable and cunning?"

Duan Hao almost choked, rolled his eyes angrily, and snorted: "I'm planning to move later, is it prudent!" ”

Cheng Xipeng laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, okay, just do as you say, let's take a look first!"

The two laughed a few more words, and then returned their eyes to the high platform.

As the challengers left one after another, only Lin Shen and Yan Xing were left on the high platform in a blink of an eye.

A sinister atmosphere gradually filled the air.

Yan Xing stared at Lin Shen deadly, his gaze as cold as a sword.

"The big test and guidance wartime made you lucky to be in the limelight, but today you don't have such good luck anymore!"

Lin Shen laughed and said, "It's not a good habit to attribute everything to luck. ”

"I hope that when you are defeated by my hands, you will still be as sharp as you are now!"

Yan Xing's cheeks twitched fiercely, and without further words, with a flip of his wrist, a red long sword engraved with mystical runes had already fallen into his palm.

I didn't see any movement from him, and the sword body burst into flames, igniting a surging and scorching wave of flames!

Even if you are more than 20 meters away, you can still feel the rolling heat wave coming to your face.

"Six Yang Rune Sword!"

An exclamation suddenly sounded around the high platform, and there were many envious glances mixed with it.

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xing's mouth.

Rank Challenges do not prohibit the use of magic weapons.

As long as it is not a special magic weapon that is obviously unfair, or an item such as a talisman, the rest can be used.

After all, weapons are also part of a cultivator's own strength.

Yan Xing had seen the astonishing defensive power of the Forbidden Golden Armor, and he thought that he would not be able to crack Lin Shen's Forbidden Golden Armor by ordinary means.

So he tried his best and begged his eldest brother again, and finally got a six-yang rune sword.

With the power of a medium-grade magic weapon, Yan Xing confidently cracked Lin Shen's forbidden golden armor without a problem!

"The Sanyang Rune Sword can't break your horizontal martial arts, I don't believe that the Liuyang Rune Sword can't be broken!"

Secretly sneering, Yan Xing suddenly rushed forward, raised his sword and stabbed out, and rushed towards Lin Shen fiercely.

The surrounding crowd suddenly perked up, and hurriedly looked with bated breath, ready to witness the next battle of dragons and tigers.

But in the next second, they were all stunned in place, dumbfounded.

Hearing only a crisp sound, Yan Xing's aggressive sword stabbed Lin Shen in the chest and abdomen!

But the expected scene of blood splattering did not happen!

On the contrary, the tip of the sword stagnated in Lin Shen's chest and abdomen, motionless, no matter how Yan Xing exerted his strength, no matter how the flame waves surged, he couldn't move forward even an inch!

Quiescence!

Deathly silence!

There was silence all around.

Yan Xing was even more stunned, looking at the place where the tip of the sword touched Lin Shen's chest and abdomen with a dull expression, with a look of disbelief on his face.
