第三千零一十七章 青衣少女

A streak of red light and a flash of green chased each other across the sky. Clearly, these were magical artifacts and treasures summoned by both participants.

Wind blades and earth wall techniques clashed intermittently.

Both were outstanding members of their families, each possessing a spiritual artifact and proficient in the Five Elements Techniques. For now, it was hard to tell who would emerge victorious.

Suddenly, one of the disciples wearing green robes made a mistake with his inner refinement method, inadvertently revealing a flaw.

His opponent seized the opportunity, quickly manipulating his spiritual artifact towards him. It was a short sword about a foot long, emitting a dazzling red light from its surface. Even among top-grade spiritual artifacts, it was clearly an exquisite treasure, boasting formidable power and speed.

The spectators watched intently. While most older cultivators maintained their composure, many young disciples showed obvious immaturity in their reactions, forgetting that the elders were also observing.

"Truly commendable, Second Elder Brother."

"Indeed, Little Sister's progress is swift, but she still falls short of Senior Brother’s experience and steadiness."

As the battle reached its climax, everyone seemed to think that the outcome was settled. However, at this critical moment, the green-robed girl stepped forward without any intention of retreating.

She drew a circle with her left hand, and a talisman slid out from her sleeve. Without wind, it ignited on its own, followed by a fist-sized flame. But this wasn't over; the flame flickered and suddenly transformed into a snake.

Well, not exactly a snake, as it was no more than a few feet long.

Fire Snake Talisman!

A high-grade初级符箓.

Its power was considerable, roughly equivalent to an ordinary upper-grade spiritual artifact.

While the Fire Snake Talisman's power was commendable, its control was notably challenging. Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had no issues, but for novice cultivators in the Flexible Spirit Period relying solely on their spirit awareness and Drive Object Technique, mastering it proved difficult.

However, there are always exceptions. At this moment, the green-robed girl seemed to have overcome these limitations, becoming an exception.

Despite being at the Flexible Spirit Stage, she could control the Fire Snake Talisman effortlessly.

Seeing her opponent's fiery sword approaching, she showed no signs of panic as she waved both hands, casting several inner refinement methods swiftly.

Snap! The fire snake, seemingly alive, intercepted the divine sword. It spat out a few fireballs and began to tangle with the opponent.

"Bad move!"

The young man was shocked, realizing he had fallen into her trap. Desperately, he changed his inner refinement method, trying to recall his spiritual artifact.

But it wasn't easy; the Fire Snake Talisman's power was considerable, though slightly inferior compared to his spiritual artifact. It merely held him off momentarily without any issues.

With his opponent's spiritual artifact entangled, he was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. The green-robed girl, after much effort, managed to bind her opponent in this predicament and wouldn't let the opportunity slip away.

"Quickly!"

She raised her hand and pointed it forward.

A flash of green light appeared mid-air; another short sword about a foot long, surging towards the opponent with vibrant energy.

In an instant, it reached above his head!

"Little Sister, go easy on me! I yield!"

The young man was startled, though he was unwilling to admit defeat. At this point, there was nothing left but to surrender.

"Did Little Sister really win?"

"It can't be true; Second Elder Brother's cultivation is deeper and more profound. How could she possibly lose to him."

"Hmph, it’s all because of that Fire Snake Talisman."

"Sister Younger, you are being unfair. The Fire Snake Talisman has considerable power, but who among us, at the Flexible Spirit Stage, can control it as effortlessly?"

"..."

The murmurs spread as low-ranking cultivators were clearly surprised by the outcome. Although Little Sister's progress was swift, Second Elder Brother’s reputation and strength were far greater.

They had assumed that Little Sister would have no chance of winning, but this result took them aback.

As the cultivators continued their discussion, a bearded old man stepped forward.

Though aged, his spirit was vibrant as he scanned the disciples with piercing eyes. The students fell silent, and the room became eerily quiet.

"Greetings, Grandmaster."

The green-robed girl bowed gracefully.

"Ah, Ying'er, your cultivation progress is swift, and you are quite formidable."

The old man's face lit up with approval. With time, her cultivation might even surpass his own, so he spoke kindly.

Just then, a flash of fire flew over. The old man paused, catching it. It was a communication talisman!

After listening, his expression changed dramatically. As an Incubus Stage cultivator, he looked envious and his demeanor shifted.

"Ying'er, the Grandmaster wants to see you."

He never expected that a mere battle between two Flexible Spirit Stage disciples would catch the attention of the only Split Soul Stage elder in the family.

Years ago, the Grandmaster had said he wanted to take on another disciple. Could this girl be so fortunate?

Envy and jealousy surged within him; after all, being taken as a disciple by a Split Soul Stage cultivator was undoubtedly advantageous.

Even if she were at the Flexible Spirit Stage now, with such an opportunity, her cultivation would surpass his in just a few centuries. His heart couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and regret.

Before this thought could fully form, a sharp crackle entered his ears. The sky, which had been clear, suddenly turned dark without any warning. Lightning flashed, followed by a swirling vortex as black as ink.

What was happening?

Even the low-ranking cultivators were shocked, but even the high-ranking observers were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"Could it be a spatial vortex?"

Before this thought could fully form, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded; a young man emerged from the dark vortex.

His face remained calm and composed as he moved gracefully, almost as if strolling through a garden. He frowned slightly when he noticed so many cultivators around him.

Clearly, this mysterious youth was Lin轩, but his surprise was evident—when had the island become so bustling with cultivators?

Moreover, these people's faces were entirely unfamiliar, seemingly unrelated to Green Face Venerable or True Incubus of Lightning Void. Where did they come from?
