A white light burst and spread from the ground around the palace, a terrifying power rapidly fluctuated at this moment, causing everyone to instantly change their expressions and become puzzled.
In just an instant, while everyone was stunned, the entire massive white palace spirit weapon shot into the sky. A blast of white light burst forth from within the space, directly piercing through the spatial ripples and sweeping out overwhelmingly.
Above this terrifying white light, dense wind attribute energy converged. At the same time, this terrifying energy soared into the sky, forming a huge white light sphere over two hundred meters in size. The sphere rotated, directly twisting the space, and finally slammed fiercely onto the white palace.
At this moment, Yuan Ruolan's delicate figure appeared again on the plaza, her aura surging, her purple dress fluttering loudly, and her long hair flying behind her. Each strand of hair seemed to contain powerful energy.
"Seventh Rank Martial General." Everyone gasped in shock, as Yuan Ruolan's aura had reached that of a Seventh Rank Martial General, not the Fourth Rank Martial General she initially revealed.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
In this instant, the white light sphere exploded, and the wind attribute energy tore through space. The massive white palace activated by Yun Hongling was also shaken open, hit fiercely by a continuous powerful force.
"Spurt..."
Yun Hongling spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the massive white palace suddenly lost its sustaining power, its light quickly dimming and visibly shrinking into a stream of light, finally landing in Yun Hongling's hand.
"Wind system Xuan-level initial stage martial technique, Seventh Rank Martial General, quad-elemental warrior." At this moment, Li Lin was shocked for the first time. Yuan Ruolan, who had been revealing water, fire, and wood attributes over the past few days, now added wind attribute, making her a quad-elemental warrior.
Yuan Ruolan was now a Seventh Rank Martial General, presumably having used some special means to conceal or restrain her strength aura until now, finally unleashing it.
"Is Yuan Ruolan from your sect a quad-elemental warrior?"
At this time, all the powerhouses turned their attention to Gu Jianfeng, Yun Hongling's defeat, or Yuan Ruolan's victory, had already been momentarily forgotten.
Even Yun Xiaotian and Elder Yang were surprised and turned their gaze to Gu Jianfeng.
"Indeed, Ruolan is a quad-elemental warrior." Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Jianfeng smiled satisfactorily.
Everyone gasped, quad-elemental warriors, who train four times faster than ordinary people and have many other talents, are absolutely terrifying.
A tri-elemental warrior is already enviable and rare, one in ten million. A quad-elemental warrior is even more astonishing, one in a hundred million, only existing in legends.
"Quad-elemental warrior." All the sect leaders and elders sighed lightly. A seventh-rank martial general quad-elemental warrior among the younger generation is probably unmatched.
Looking at Yuan Ruolan, Yun Hongling's face was pale, now realizing the true strength of her opponent: a quad-elemental warrior, seventh-rank martial general. Even with a spirit weapon, she stood no chance. Although spirit weapons are powerful, she couldn't unleash their fullest potential. If she were a spiritual practitioner, perhaps the power would be much greater.
"I lost." Yun Hongling wiped the blood from her mouth and said softly to Yuan Ruolan.
"The second match, Yuan Ruolan wins, entering the top three," announced the red-robed elder of Tianjian Sect, unsurprised by Yuan Ruolan's victory.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"What strong strength, Yuan Ruolan is a quad-elemental warrior."
"Did you see? Yuan Ruolan is a Seventh Rank Martial General, she has been hiding her strength."
"Quad-elemental warrior, that's too terrifying, I've never heard of anyone being a quad-elemental warrior."
Among the millions of spectators, everyone was amazed, resulting in a deafening wave of cheers.
Two hours later, in the hall of Tianjian Sect, several elders, Yun Xiaotian, Li Lin, and Yun Hongling were sitting.
Yun Hongling took a medicinal pill, her complexion slightly improved but still pale.
"How do you feel?" Yun Xiaotian asked with concern.
"Dad, I'm fine, it didn't harm the foundation. I'll recover after a few days of rest," Yun Hongling said softly.
"I didn't expect Tianjian Sect to hide so deep, a quad-elemental warrior, seventh-rank martial general, who among the younger generation could be an opponent?" Elder Yang sighed lightly.
"Quad-elemental warriors are too rare, Tianjian Sect hid it too well," Elder Xie said softly.
"As long as someone from our Yunyang Sect enters the top three, it's good," Yu Yuxian said.
"Also, Li Lin could directly advance, otherwise facing any of them, our Yunyang Sect might not have had a chance to enter the top three," Elder Song sighed.
"Ling Qing and Yuan Ruolan are both very strong, and Jian Xiner also has a spirit weapon. None of them are weak, and Ling Qing's strength was evident when he defeated Jian Xiner. I didn't expect this tri-sect and quad-sect conference to reveal so many powerful individuals," Yun Xiaotian said, then looked at Li Lin with a bitter smile, "It's also good that Li Lin could directly advance, otherwise it would have been a big problem."
In Yun Xiaotian's heart, he also doubted Li Lin's ability to compete with those three, considering his luck this time as a relief for Yunyang Sect.
"It's a pity that this time, our Yunyang Sect won't be able to take first place," Elder Yang sighed softly.
"Yuan Ruolan and Ling Qing, both very strong, but Yuan Ruolan seems to have a slight edge. A seventh-rank martial general quad-elemental warrior can directly defeat even an ordinary eighth-rank martial general, not to mention Yuan Ruolan also has a Xuan-level initial stage martial technique," Yun Xiaotian said, "It seems Tianjian Sect put a lot of effort into this tri-sect and quad-sect conference to come out on top."
"If our Yunyang Sect also had a quad-elemental warrior, one day, they would definitely become an absolute powerhouse," Elder Xie said.
"Lin'er, just do your best in tomorrow's competition. You've already made it to the top three," Yu Yuxian always had confidence in his precious disciple, but now, he had no assurance for tomorrow's top two competition, not even daring to hope for a miracle, given the gap in strength.
"Li Lin, since you've directly advanced, you'll be participating in tomorrow's top two competition. Yuan Ruolan and Ling Qing will draw lots to decide who will compete against you," Yun Xiaotian said to Li Lin, "Regardless of who you face, just do your best tomorrow. Don't think too much. Making it to the top three has already been a great achievement for the sect. When we return, I will definitely reward you well."
"Yes, Sect Master," Li Lin said softly, not saying much more, his mind occupied with thoughts of Yuan Ruolan and the lean young man, both strong opponents he would find difficult to handle, almost impossible without risking everything.
Elders Yang, Xie, and Song also didn't believe Yunyang Sect could make it to the top two, unless a miracle happened, given the strength of those two.
After a while, Li Lin left the hall to return to his room.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing his boss's concerned expression, Little dragon immediately asked, his small eyes spinning before landing on Li Lin's shoulder.
"Thinking about tomorrow's competition, the remaining two don't seem easy to deal with," Li Lin said softly.
"Both of them are strong, indeed difficult to deal with. But, you also haven't used your full strength, do you not have confidence?" Bai Ling lazily lay on a chair, speaking without even lifting his head.
"I really don't have confidence. We'll see how it goes tomorrow, first try," Li Lin's mouth curled into a smile.
Sitting cross-legged, it was now nearing dusk, and Li Lin entered a state of cultivation. Tomorrow's top two, he was destined to face one of them. Regardless of who it was, winning seemed unlikely.
But Li Lin was not one to concede without a fight, especially since advancing to the top two would allow Yun Xiaotian to grant him an additional request. With such a benefit ahead, he naturally pushed forward.
Moments later, Li Lin was enveloped in a pale yellow light, Little dragon and Bai Ling also surrounded by their own lights, all entering a state of cultivation.
Outside, with the energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, Bai Ling also continued to diligently cultivate.
In Tianjian City, the topic of conversation was Yuan Ruolan, the quad-elemental warrior, like a whirlwind. By evening, almost every person in the vast Tianjian City knew of this news.
At the same time, this news also spread from Tianjian City through various channels to countless powers. The emergence of a quad-elemental warrior was shocking, their strength becoming more terrifying with higher cultivation levels. This person, being a direct disciple of Tianjian Sect, drew the attention of all major powers.
In the betting shops of Tianjian City, only three people remained: Yuan Ruolan, Ling Qing, and Li Lin. Initially, Li Lin had low odds, but after his astonishing performance in the third round, his odds had become very low, a favorite among the contestants.
