The night before the decisive battle, Hong Caixia summoned her disciples and told her that there were only two masters and apprentices in the room. She thought about it over and over again and said, "You should do your best to go to the duel tomorrow. After all, Ling Xiao is too strong and is already in the early stage of the Identification Mansion. The level is much higher than you. Logically speaking, you have absolutely no chance of winning. It is more important to preserve your strength to avoid severe damage."

The Master's words were full of concern, which moved Qiu Yu very much and felt that it made sense. Under normal circumstances, the challenge of going beyond the level was to ask for trouble. If he had not been tempered by the blood pool and had special physique, and he would have no confidence in challenging the high-level. Moreover, he was all disciples in the valley. If it was really a loss-making problem, it would not be good. The key is that Ling Xiao and Lu Yufan were different, and he had never done anything to be sorry for Yuan Gufeng's disciples.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yu nodded, "I will."

Hong Caixia said: "In addition, I will also give you a message, just know it yourself, don't tell others first."

Qiu Yu felt aroused in his heart and said with interest: "Master, please speak."

"After the New Year, the spiritual realm controlled by the seven major sects will be opened every ten years. Our Fengming Valley will also send disciples to pick medicinal materials, but there is an age limit. Only young disciples between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five are allowed to enter it. You can see those disciples of Tianlan Palace. They will be the main force of this operation. In addition, they will also select fifteen of the top thirty disciples to become auxiliary forces and follow them to the spiritual realm, and you will definitely be selected."

This news made Qiu Yu very excited. It seemed that he had the opportunity to enter the spiritual realm and search for the Shui Ling Crystal. He smiled on his face and said in anticipation: "It's great. I have long heard of the name of the spiritual realm for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to go over and see it."

Hong Caixia sighed and said angrily: "What's good? You only know one but not the other. There are many dangers in the spiritual realm. Not only do you have to face the attacks of many high-level monsters, but you also have to prevent other disciples of sects from plotting against each other. Let me tell you the truth. Every time the spiritual realm opens, many young disciples of the seven major sects have been killed or injured. It is normal to have more than half of the casualties. The worst one can only come back one-third, which is too dangerous."

Qiu Yu had heard of these, but now he heard from his master's words, he felt it was more real and smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter, I am a human being and a god. Master, don't worry too much."

Hong Caixia said helplessly: "I knew you don't take life and death seriously, but Master cares. I finally took you, a sensible and capable baby apprentice, but I can't bear to throw your life in it. You have to promise me that you will be alive no matter what."

Seeing the master's affectionate expression, Qiu Yu was also very moved. He nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will definitely come out alive."

Hong Caixia showed a gratified smile on her face, "That's good, so I'll let you preserve your strength and show your skills in the spiritual realm in the future. Otherwise, if both of you top players are injured, they will definitely weaken Fengming Valley's strength and are easily bullied by disciples of other sects."

"Master reminded me right, I understand."

"There is another thing, that is, your senior sister Ji Xue will be selected to enter the spiritual realm. At that time, you should try to take care of her. I will not care about other people's lives or death. Even if the entire army is wiped out, you both will appear in front of me."

When Qiu Yu heard that Ji Xue would also enter the Demon Realm, he was stunned at first, thinking that the other party might not be qualified. Then he thought again that some of the top 30 disciples in the assessment were over 25 years old, and some were seriously injured, so he naturally could not go to the Spirit Realm. In this way, the master's judgment should be correct.

No matter what, Ji Xue is a senior sister of the same school. From a private perspective, she is also his future sister-in-law. Since that's the case, Qiu Yu felt that both public and private had to take care of the other party, so she responded: "I can..."

The next day, which was the last day of the assessment, two contestants stood on the ring, one was Ling Xiao, the leader of the seven heroes of the times, the leader of the disciples, and the other was the dark horse Qiuyu, a disciple who had only been apprenticed for a long time.

There is no doubt that this is the most worthy of attention to duel, which makes many disciples look forward to it, and even those strong men feel that the next game will be very exciting.

Even a group of disciples from Tianlan Palace who were above the top looked over, stared at them with wide eyes.

This time, Zhang Yanran, who had always supported Qiu Yu, flashed with worry in her bright eyes, because she knew that as the most talented disciple in the valley, Ling Xiao was too strong, even not weaker than some disciples of Tianlan Palace.

On the ring, the two of them looked at each other. Ling Xiao was still wearing a white robe as good as snow, without any dust, and was as obsessed with cleanliness. He no longer had the contempt he had before and said in a deep voice: "I really underestimated you before, but I didn't expect that in the end it was you who would show up against me."

Qiu Yu said calmly: "The world is impermanent, and no one knows what will happen in the future."

Ling Xiao showed arrogance again, "I know... you are about to become my defeated man."

Qiu Yu said coldly: "Then you have to beat me, don't talk nonsense, let's start."

"Then don't blame me for being polite..."

In an instant, Ling Xiao became more and more fierce, as if a sharp sword was unsheathed, and he jumped into the air. His palms had changed, completely becoming jade-like and shining with a warm luster. He seemed to be waving lightly, but he stormy white edges like waves, rushing towards him one after another, making most of the space on the ring with the sharpness he emitted, which would completely submerge the opponent.

This is the unique skill of the jade carving dragon that Ling Xiao relied on to become famous. At this time, facing a strong opponent, he used his full strength from the beginning, making many onlookers sigh secretly. He is worthy of being the number one disciple in the valley, so domineering!

Look at Qiu Yu, who broke out with the momentum of a dark horse, was standing still as steady as Mount Tai, without any intention of dodging. He kept making seals with his hands, and spiritual seals rushed into the air, rising in the wind, becoming a huge Nether Seal, blocking the attack of the jade carving dragon, and constantly colliding and making noises.

"Bang bang bang..."

Two fierce forces were stimulating one after another, forming a huge energy wave spreading around. The sky was filled with black and white sharp edges, which was spectacular, making many disciples dazzled and extremely shocked.

Although the Netherworld Seal temporarily blocked the attack, Qiu Yu felt huge pressure, and the level gap between the two sides was obvious, and he decided not to borrow the power of the black dragon, so he became more and more passive.

Both of the Seven Wind and Cloud Masters, Ling Xiao is much more domineering than Lu Yufan who had failed before. Unlike the guy who barely used the martial arts of the Sky Hand, the jade carving dragon he controlled is very skillful, with a strong momentum. After a few moves, the white sharpness became even more fierce, forming a stormy wave to surge towards the other side...
