Hong Ling carefully sensed the strength of the mirror in front of him, and his eyes shone brightly. To his senses, the composition of the mirror image was formed by countless of interweaving laws, and he was very familiar with these laws. These were the unique movements of the Spiritual Power. However, compared to the Century-round Meridian, it was still too insignificant. He spread out his spiritual sense, wanting to continue exploring the mysteries of these Laws. However, the mirror didn't allow him to do anything else.

Weng, the sound of metal clashing sounded out, as a sword materialized in Mirror's hand, the sword. It was Sorrow Spirit. He kicked off with his foot, flying towards Hong Ling. A ghastly sword beam was ignited by his Authentic Qi, and it ruthlessly slashed down at Hong Ling. This was an extremely fast and nimble sword, far surpassing any cultivator Hong Ling had met that was at the early stages of Qi Refinement into Spirit. Hong Ling's pupils contracted, he summoned his Sorrow Spirit and brandished his sword to block the attack. With a dang sound, the two people both retreated explosively, and their bodies slid across the space within the Century-round Meridian for more than two meters.

Hong Ling's arm trembled slightly. The power of this mirror image was beyond his imagination. Even a normal mid stage Soul Formation cultivator would have trouble fighting him. However, no matter how strong he was, he was just a mirror image. Hong Ling was the original body, how could he be afraid of this fake cultivator that was using him as a model? The youth's feet touched the ground and his figure flashed out, his longsword was covered with a dark gold colored lightning. The mirror was stunned, the Qi in his body continued to circulate, attempting to simulate the lightning on Hong Ling's sword. However, the laws of lightning inherited from Five-clawed Golden Dragon s were not that easy to imitate.

The mirror saw that Hong Ling's sword was already thrusting towards it, so it did not imitate the lightning, but brandished out a very thin sword qi. Boom! The golden sword qi collided with the dark golden thunder and was instantly extinguished. Hong Ling seized this opportunity and conjured the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Flame, smashing it fiercely into the mirror. The entire mirror image instantly ignited, and with a bang, it shattered into a pure Spiritual Power, dissipating within the space of the Century-round Meridian. Hong Ling's figure flashed, and was sent out by the Century-round Meridian.

"Hmm? This young man actually defeated his Mirror Image so quickly! " Fang Qian stared at Hong Ling who was watching the other fights calmly, a look of appreciation flashed past his eyes. Hong Ling's talent was very strong, so strong that it shocked him. If he was able to join Jixia Academy, then for a very long period of time, Jixia Academy would not show any signs of decline. As long as he was able to grow successfully, a young heaven's pride level talent with at least eight levels would be enough to protect Jixia Academy and might even be able to bring it back to its peak.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The figures of a few people flew out from the Century-round Meridian. Hong Ling accidentally found his former formidable opponents, Zhang Huang and Zhou Kuang. These two were young geniuses that possessed the sixth level of natural talent in the Martial Dao. However, they ought to have been eliminated by now. Hong Ling sighed, now, he himself had already stepped into the early stage of the Refinement Realm, and looking at Zhang Huang and Zhou Kuang, he no longer had any desire to fight. These two people may be very strong among the younger generation in Tianhuang City, but if they were to face a cultivator with the same talent as them who had reached the seventh stage, they might not even have the slightest chance of winning at all.

At this time, the two of them also saw Hong Ling's figure and knew that he had already defeated their own Mirror. As matters stood, they were already aware of the difference in talent between Hong Ling and themselves, but they still had not given up. Inherent skill was talent, strength was strength, they felt that their own strength would definitely not be weaker than Hong Ling's.

"Hong Ling, I know your talent is strong, but I want to challenge your Mirror Image!" Zhou Kuang walked over and said with a struggling expression. I don't believe that the difference between us would be this big! "

Hong Ling looked at him and sighed. He took a step to the side and revealed the Century-round Meridian behind him.

"Please!"

With a flash, Zhou Kuang entered the midst of the Century-round Meridian. Zhang Huang stood beside Hong Ling and sighed.

"I never thought that after the Heavenly Desolate Martial Tournament, you would also step into the realm of Qi Refinement into Spirit. It looks like you will eventually leave us behind!" Zhang Huang looked at the young man in white and his eyes were filled with bitterness.

Hong Ling looked at him, not knowing what to say. They were all Heaven's Pride of Chu, Tianhuang City. However, since their experiences were different, their accomplishments in the future would not be the same. To Hong Ling, Tianhuang City was merely a site for him on his journey through this world, but it was not his home. His goal was the even more magnificent holy land of martial dao.

"Zhang Huang, don't be so sad. Everyone has their own path to take. My path might not be suitable for you. Similarly, your own path, if I walk on it, will not necessarily be smooth sailing. "Therefore, as long as you and I do not give up, there will be a day when we can go even further!" He patted him on the shoulder and turned around, ready to challenge Mirror Image who had lost.

"Hong Ling, can you challenge the mirror image of me and Zhou Kuang? We want to know what exactly you will do against an even stronger us!" Zhang Huang said shyly.

Hong Ling was startled, she looked at him, then looked at Zhou Kuang who had been shot out by her own reflection from the Century-round Meridian, and faintly smiled.

"Alright!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the Century-round Meridian that was Zhang Huang's mirror. When the mirror saw him enter, it moved and slowly sank into the ground. A layer of flowing sand slowly gathered under Hong Ling's feet, and pulled his entire body into the vortex formed by the flowing sand bit by bit. Very quickly, the flowing sand dissipated, and Hong Ling's body was completely petrified. Seeing that he did not resist, the mirror quickly rushed over, wanting to smash this petrified figure into pieces. However, with a series of crackling sounds, cracks appeared on the stone statue's body. A dark golden flowing light appeared from the crevice. With a bang, stone chips flew everywhere, revealing the perfectly fine Hong Ling. He casually hit the mirror with his palm and it shattered. Hong Ling turned around and caught the purple gold holy order that had fallen from the Century-round Meridian and slowly walked out. After defeating the Mirror Image, the Century-round Meridian immediately disappeared, leaving behind a few of its reflection that had yet to be defeated.

Zhang Huang saw that Luo Yuan had withstood the strongest attack from the mirror and only used his palm to shatter it. He finally gave up. He did not speak anymore, and instead walked into the Century-round Meridian where Hong Ling's reflection was in a somewhat desolate manner. Boom, in less than ten breaths of time, he was already sent flying out of the Century-round Meridian by Hong Ling's Mirror. Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth as he no longer looked at the other Century-round Meridian s. He turned around, took the God Transforming Pill and the Yellow Ranked Spirit Weapon that Fang Qian passed to him, and left his City Lord's Mansion. To Hong Ling, the Purple Gold Divine Token, giving it to a talented youth, he finally had no regrets.

Hong Ling stood in front of Zhou Kuang's mirror and looked at the Zhanmadao in his hand. This mirror had a faint cool breeze around it, but Hong Ling could feel that inside the cool breeze, there was an extremely huge amount of energy. This was the legendary dimensional wind, possessing the power to tear through space. However, right now, Zhou Kuang's mirror image was still too weak. It was impossible for him to do this. The Zhanmadao in his hand glowed with a green light as countless gusts of wind gathered, making his robes flutter. When the wind created by the blade was strong enough, he slashed at Hong Ling viciously. The air seemed to distort as ripples spread out in all directions. Hong Ling's gaze did not change, he used his finger as a sword and pointed out a few sword qi in the air. The sharp sword intent directly shattered that violent Dimensional Wind Slash. Its momentum did not decrease at all, directly shattering Zhou Kuang's mirror image. The young man caught the purple gold holy order without even looking at the Century-round Meridian that had disappeared.

Zhou Kuang saw Zhang Huang from the City Lord's Mansion, then looked at Hong Ling who destroyed his own mirror with ease, and finally did not continue to stay. He walked to Fang Qian's side and took the God Transforming Pill and the Yellow Rank Equipment, then left his City Lord's Mansion. Hong Ling looked at his lonely figure that was similar to Zhang Huang, and didn't know what to say. The world of cultivators was so cruel. Sometimes, they didn't even have the chance to start over.

Hong Ling watched as Lian Chengyu walked out from the Century-round Meridian, and when he saw's happy look, he knew that had successfully defeated his Mirror Image. He was sincerely happy for the brother-in-law in his heart. But when Lian Chengyu saw the two golden-purple holy tokens in his hands, his expression changed.

"Hong Ling, it looks like you are still as abnormal as you were before. [I've been working so hard for half a day, but you've already gotten two of them!] Lian Chengyu walked over, put his hand on Hong Ling's shoulder and put his arms around his shoulders. "Come, tell Big Brother Lian Cheng how you did it. Don't you have any tricks up your sleeves? Teach me!"

Hong Ling was speechless. This guy, did he really think that he obtained the Purple Gold Holy Token by cheating?

"Yi, Zhihuo also came out!" Hong Ling pointed to Zhihuo who was walking out of the Century-round Meridian and said to him. That fellow, had instantly left Hong Ling to the side and ran to Zhihuo's side, trying to please him.

felt extremely angry and shameless for Lian Chengyu's actions. This guy really had forgotten his own sex. He valued women more than friends, and did he even have a brother-in-law in his eyes? He was watching Lian Chengyu flirting with Zhihuo out of boredom, when he suddenly saw a youth walking out of the Century-round Meridian with a gloomy expression. It was Bai He who had offended him a few days ago. He grinned and had an idea.

Bai He had obviously noticed the smile on Hong Ling's face and was currently filled with rage. He knew that from the moment Hong Ling's talent was revealed by the Century-round Meridian, it was already difficult for him to contend against Hong Ling. However, he was still slightly unconvinced.

"What are you looking at? If you want my purple gold holy order, you can go challenge my mirror. Don't laugh about it here!" Bai He was somewhat angry from embarrassment.

"Alright!" Hong Ling's brows twitched, and walked towards the Century-round Meridian that Bai He was at.
