Only when one reaches the third level of Qi Refining and becomes an outer sect disciple in the Xuanyue Sect can one learn spells.

The highest cultivation level of miscellaneous disciples is only the second level of Qi Refining. When they fight, they mostly use spiritual energy to enhance their physical bodies and engage in close combat. However, if one has practiced martial arts before, one can gain a significant advantage in a fight.

In the chaotic battle, soon the square-faced young man at the second level of Qi Refining, who rushed straight towards Lin Hao, approached within ten feet.

Several months had passed. Since Master Eternal Life Immortal Venerable passed the Eternal Life Tower and the Eternal Life Art to Lin Hao and then fell into a deep sleep, he had not appeared again.

This caused Lin Hao's plan to learn some combat spells or martial skills from Eternal Life Immortal Venerable to come to nothing.

However, when he was in the new disciple area, fearing being bullied later, he had practiced fighting with the chubby Wang Fu many times to improve his combat ability.

Seeing that the square-faced young man was within his attack range, he used the Five Elements Longevity Art to circulate spiritual energy to his fists and smashed forward with great momentum.

"Bang!"

Although Lin Hao's cultivation with the five-element spiritual root was slow, its advantage was that the amount of spiritual energy in his body was far greater than that of cultivators in the same realm. His fierce punch enhanced by spiritual energy produced a sonic boom.

"Eh, what a fast punch!"

The square-faced young man's expression changed. He was a bit incredulous. The person in front of him had just come from the new disciple area to the old one, yet the power and speed of his punch were almost on a par with, or even stronger than, his own. He had been in the old miscellaneous disciple area for a year and had reached the late stage of the second level of Qi Refining.

However, the square-faced young man quickly calmed down. He had rich combat experience and could tell at a glance from Lin Hao's punch that Lin Hao had not practiced martial arts and fought without any rules.

A sinister look flashed across his face. He used a kind of footwork and dodged nimbly and quickly.

Lin Hao's punch full of powerful spiritual energy missed.

"Swish!"

After dodging the blow, the square-faced young man punched at Lin Hao's stomach in a very tricky way.

Lin Hao was shocked. This square-faced young man had such rich combat experience, much stronger than Yan Heng, whom he had defeated in the new disciple area before. Feeling the terrifying fist wind getting closer and closer to his stomach, he realized that it was too late to dodge and had to hurriedly circulate spiritual energy and gather it on his stomach to resist.

"Bang!"

A dull sound like forging iron rang out.

"Hiss!"

Two painful sounds rang out simultaneously.

Lin Hao was forced back five or six steps by the square-faced young man's tricky punch before he managed to stabilize his body.

The square-faced young man, on the other hand, looked as if he had seen a ghost. When his fist hit Lin Hao's stomach, there was clearly a terrifying counter-shock force hitting back, making his fist ache.

He immediately understood that the spiritual energy of this young man who had just come out of the new disciple area was probably far stronger than his own.

"Junior Brother Mo, quickly take down that newcomer and then come with me to besiege Jiang Sheng, that bastard," on the other side, Zou Shanhu was in a fierce fight with Jiang Sheng. Being slightly weaker, he was at a disadvantage and couldn't help urging the square-faced young man to defeat Lin Hao quickly.

"Alright, Senior Brother Zou," the square-faced young man replied. Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards Lin Hao again. Knowing that Lin Hao had abundant spiritual energy but the disadvantage of not having practiced martial arts and being less experienced in combat moves, he thought for a while and quickly decided to attack the parts of the human body where spiritual energy was not easy to gather and was relatively weak, such as the chest and the face...

"Junior Brother Lin, just hold this person back. I'll defeat Zou Shanhu soon," Jiang Sheng shouted at Lin Hao. He was a bit worried that Lin Hao couldn't hold back the opponent who was a master at the second level of Qi Refining and that he would be surrounded. He was eager to win quickly and used a set of fierce boxing techniques. He was like a tiger breaking out of its cage.

"Collapsing Mountain Fist!"

He shouted softly. Spiritual energy rushed madly into his clenched fist, making the fist swell a circle.

"Bang!"

Zou Shanhu, the strongest among those who wanted to snatch the mining area's territory, was beaten back continuously by Jiang Sheng.

"I won't be defeated so easily," seeing that Jiang Sheng on his side was so brave, Lin Hao couldn't help but feel excited. Seeing the square-faced young man coming at him again, he summoned all his energy and carefully dealt with it. As long as he could hold this person back, they could win this fight.

"Boom! Bang! Bang..."

The square-faced young man quickly swung his fists like a rain of blows. Each attack angle was very tricky, aiming at the places on Lin Hao's body where spiritual energy was weak.

Lin Hao wasn't stupid either. After being hit by a few punches, he understood the other party's intention. When he saw the other party attacking, he simply retreated quickly. His spiritual energy was stronger than the other party's. With spiritual energy enhancing his legs, his running and moving speed was faster than the other party's.

Even though the square-faced young man had practiced footwork, with Lin Hao determined to dodge, he couldn't catch up and his attacks all missed.

"Junior Brother Mo, what are you doing? Why haven't you taken down this newcomer yet?" Zou Shanhu was under great pressure under Jiang Sheng's crazy attacks. Without help, he was no match for Jiang Sheng and wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would be defeated.

"Senior Brother Zou, this newcomer is hard to deal with," the square-faced young man's expression was extremely ugly. This guy who had just come out of the new miscellaneous disciple area was not good at fighting moves but was extremely cunning. He gathered his abundant spiritual energy on his legs and focused all his energy on running away, making all his planned attacks miss.

In the end, there was a rather absurd scene where the square-faced young man chased after Lin Hao, running in circles in the mine cave.

"You little bastard, don't run if you dare!" The square-faced young man cursed furiously.

"Humph, I'm not stupid," with his legs enhanced by spiritual energy, Lin Hao ran as if he was stepping on wind and fire wheels. A smug look appeared on his face. He also used psychological tactics to attack the other party and said, "Look at your Senior Brother Zou. He's almost done for. You're bound to lose this battle. If I were you, I'd just admit defeat."

"Mo Santeng, never mind that newcomer. Come and help me," seeing that the square-faced young man couldn't take down Lin Hao for a long time and was at a disadvantage, Zou Shanhu quickly shouted.

"Yes, Senior Brother Zou," the square-faced young man gave Lin Hao, who was running away in front, a fierce look and stopped chasing him. He turned around and rushed towards Jiang Sheng, wanting to join Zou Shanhu to besiege Jiang Sheng, the strongest on Lin Hao's side, and win the victory.

"Your opponent is me," seeing that the other party suddenly ignored him, Lin Hao used the tactic of advancing when the enemy retreated and retreating when the enemy advanced. He quickly chased after the square-faced young man, not allowing him to break free.

With the spiritual energy of his five-element spiritual root, which was far stronger than that of people in the same realm, enhancing his legs, he caught up with the square-faced young man in a moment and punched at him.

"You little beast!" The square-faced young man shouted angrily. He knew how terrifying Lin Hao's punch full of spiritual energy was and had to dodge. The square-faced young man, who wanted to join Zou Shanhu to besiege Jiang Sheng, was tightly entangled by Lin Hao and couldn't break free at all.

"Bang!"

At the same time, good news came from Jiang Sheng's side. Seizing the opportunity, he finally landed a solid punch on Zou Shanhu's face.

"Ah!"

A painful scream came from Zou Shanhu's mouth. He flew backward and fell heavily to the ground, sending a large amount of dust into the air.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of blood spat out from Zou Shanhu's mouth.

"We admit defeat..."

The moment Zou Shanhu was defeated, the other three miscellaneous disciples at the second level of Qi Refining who wanted to snatch the mining area's territory quickly shouted.

"Stop fighting!"

At the same time, a faint voice of an outer sect disciple monitoring the situation in the mine cave rang out.

In order to prevent disciples from being too seriously injured and affecting the mining of spirit iron, according to the rules of the Xuanyue Sect, in the mine cave, if one side admitted defeat or lost their combat ability during a territorial fight, the fight had to stop.

"Yes, senior brother!"

Jiang Sheng respectfully saluted the outer sect disciple and didn't attack Zou Shanhu again.

Seeing this, the other miscellaneous disciples also stopped fighting. Lin Hao and the others successfully defended the territory of the mine cave area with a high content of spirit iron that belonged to the ten of them.

"Jiang Sheng, you... you wait for me," Zou Shanhu, who had lost the fight for the territory, was supported by his companions and left in a sorry state. Before leaving, he didn't forget to utter harsh words.
