While Lu Chen and Mo Lin sat in the resting area and waited, he told Mo Lin how he knew Luo You. After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mo Lin directly called Lu Chen a freak 8th level Refinement Stage disciple who could actually win against a 11th level Refinement Stage cultivator. He started to have some doubts towards Lu Chen's decision to enroll into the Heavenly Court, but after hearing Lu Chen's words, he also felt relieved for Lu Chen.

"The selection round is about to begin." Lu Chen and Molin were in the middle of chatting when they suddenly heard Zhang Qiang's voice. They then followed the other disciples in the resting area and entered their respective arenas.

"Everyone, you know that the reason why you chose the 4th arena is because you want to go to the Heavenly Court. Because this year, there are a lot of disciples who signed up for the competition, 32 people will be competing in the lottery. The victors who can enter the Heavenly Court will be staying in the miscellaneous courtyard and waiting for next year's qualification tournament." said Luo You, standing on the fourth ring.

"Senior, what if we meet two people who are both very strong during the drawing of lots?" Maureen asked.

"The loser can issue a challenge. After all, the Sky Court also hopes to accept the most outstanding disciples." "Luo You laughed." Do you still have any questions? " he asked.

"No more." Everyone answered.

"Now, all of you, come forward and draw your lots according to the number fifteen that I've posted." said Roger.

Lu Chen and the other disciples chose their opponents one by one according to the number they had started to send out. After drawing lots, Lu Chen found that it was number '19th'.

"Who is Number Nineteen?" Lu Chen frowned as he thought about it. "Forget it, we'll find out in a while anyway." Lu Chen felt relieved as he thought about it. He saw that Maureen had chosen "28th."

"Thank goodness we didn't fight." Maureen laughed.

"Yes, but be careful later." Lu Chen said.

"You too." Maureen laughed.

"When you're done drawing your number, you can watch who you want to fight with. When Senior Qiu arrives, you can begin the match." said Roger.

"Luo You has made you all wait." Just as Luo You finished speaking, he saw a person dressed in the Lingyun Sect's uniform flying over from the distance. His face could be considered unrecognizable even if he was thrown into a crowd of people, but because of the ethereal feeling of cultivation he had, his body also had a unique charm. The robes he wore were different from the ones Luo You wore. The clouds on Luo You's clothes were pale yellow. The clouds on Luo You's clothes were golden.

"His clothes are a bit different." Lu Chen thought. Then, he remembered that Jin Yun was wearing the same clothes as this person, so he guessed that it might be because of the difference in the sect uniform that was used to differentiate the disciples in the Cloudsoaring sect.

"Senior Master Qiu, you're here." Luo You hurried to greet him.

"It's my turn to be the invigilator this year. How can I be late?" Qiu Ren said. "Let them start. Otherwise, they won't be able to finish today." Qiu Ren said.

"The first one to come up on stage is number eighteen." Qiu Ren shouted.

Following Luo You's call, two disciples walked out from the crowd and walked onto the stage.

I am the one with the highest honorary title." Chang Ming, who was wearing green robes, did not give them a sect uniform because he was a disciple of the courtyard. As a rogue cultivator, he did not have enough spirit stones to buy quality clothes, so he only wore green clothes. He had a pair of large eyes, but he had light eyebrows, a high nose bridge, meagre lips and a medium build. His skin was a kind of wheat color, and his hair was tied up in a braid behind his back.

"Please advise me, Number Eighteen." As soon as Chang Ming got up on stage, he saw a man dressed in a flowing blue robe. His face was slightly thin, his eyes were not big but they were very lively, and his nose was slightly bridge.

"The match begins." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo You flew out of the ring, leaving the ring to Chang Ming and Bai Nan.

As soon as Luo You's words fell, Chang Ming's eyes turned fierce as he took out his silver spear. "Break through the barrier!" Chang Ming growled as he stabbed towards Bai Nan.

"An insignificant skill." Bai Nan said disdainfully. He took out his high-grade defensive magic tool, the Black Tortoise Shield, and placed it in front of himself. Bai Nan's family was a member of the Jin Prefecture City Immortal Cultivation Aristocratic Family, the Bai Clan. Therefore, all the magic tools he had on him were top-grade magic tools. His status couldn't be compared to a rogue cultivator.

"Dang." A crisp sound of impact rang out. Chang Ming felt that the force he used to pierce the Mysterious Tortoise Shield had been rebounded back to him.

"Pfft." He was only injured at the first contact with Chang Ming.

"Flame Palm." Bai Nan took advantage of Chang Ming's injury to strike at him with Flame Palm.

When Chang Ming saw that Bai Nan's hand was surrounded by flames, he knew that if he were to receive it head on, he would definitely be severely injured. Thus, he hastily took out his mid-grade magic tool, the Mysterious Wood Shield.

BOOM!

"Pfft." Although the Mystical Wood Shield managed to offset a portion of Chang Ming Bai's attack, a portion of it still landed on Chang Ming's body. Chang Ming could not help but vomit blood and his injuries worsened.

"Fire Controlling Sword." Bonan continued his assault.

"I admit defeat." Chang Ming recognized that Bai Nan's defensive magic tool was a high-rank magic tool! It wasn't something his middle rank defensive magic tool could defend against. Moreover, he didn't wish for his only defensive magic tool to be destroyed just like that.

"Thanks for the win." Bai Nan stopped two meters away from Chang Ming and said with a smile.

"Thanks for the win." Chang Ming said bitterly. He had lost this match and even suffered such heavy injuries, which basically meant that he wouldn't be able to advance this year. He would have to stay in the academy and wait for the next opportunity.

"Bai Nan, Coin # 2 against # 7." Qiu Ren said.

Lu Chen and Maureen were watching the arena from below the stage. As his and Maureen's number plates were slightly behind each other, he could use the spectator's to think about what he would do if he were to meet this opponent.

"I've discovered that if the new disciples were to meet the old people in the courtyard, they would basically all lose." Maureen found that since the third a few of the old men had lost.

"That's because the new disciples' fighting experience is not as good as the seniors in the other courtyards. In addition to that, the seniors in the other courtyards have all had their last chance, so naturally they fought with all their might." Lu Chen said.

"Indeed, I hope that I don't run into those people from the academy." Maureen said.

"# 11 versus # 32." Qiu Ren said.

"It's your turn, Maureen." Lu Chen said.

"Wait for my good news." After saying that, he flew onto the stage.

After getting on the stage, Maureen saw a middle-aged man with a cold expression, dressed in a grey robe, walking on stage.

"I am Maureen." Mo Lin cupped his fists and said.

"Han Zuote from the compound is here to enlighten me." Han Zhu Gang threw a few fireballs at Mo Lin.

"F * * k me, just fight as soon as you get up." Mo Lin cursed as he dodged Han Zhu's attack.

"Lightning Tactic." As he spoke, Maureen shot a bolt of lightning towards Han Zhu.

"I didn't expect Mo Lin to be of the Lightning Element." Lu Chen said in surprise.

Han Zhu saw that the lightning that Mo Lin released was also surprised that Mo Lin was actually of the thunder attribute and hurriedly dodged.

"Thunderstorm Fist!" Mo Lin took advantage of this victory to attack Han Zhu.

Han Zhu didn't dare to take Mo Lin's Thunderstorm Fist head on, so he could only constantly evade while Mo Lin was very angry at Han Zhu's attack so he unceasingly chased after Han Zhu, Mo Lin and Han Zhu on the stage.

"Thunder sword." Mo Lin saw that he couldn't hit Han Zhu, so he changed his hand signal and used the lightning to form a lightning sword that pierced towards Han Zhu.

"Ah!" Han Zhu painfully cried out. This time, he was unable to dodge Maureen's attack and was stabbed by a sword before he fainted.

"Mo Lin is victorious. The next round's number twelve will be against number nineteen." said Roger.

"You did well." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"You have to work hard too." Maureen said.

"Don't worry." After which, Lu Chen walked up the stage.

As soon as Lu Chen entered the arena, a person followed him into the arena. When Lu Chen saw this person, he couldn't help but be stunned. This person was the person who should have been dueling with him in the Martial Competition Hall, but had given up in the end, Ye Jingxiang.

"Senior Brother Ye did not expect us to have this match after all." Lu Chen lamented.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that." When he saw Lu Chen, he realized that Lu Chen had broken through once again.

"The match begins." said Roger.

"Brother Ye, be careful." Brother Ye, be careful. Lu Chen drew out his Cyan Cloud Sword and used Wave Slasher. During this period of time, he had practiced the Clear Sky Sword Technique's Wave Chop to a very proficient level. When he was sparring with Jin Yun, this move had almost broken through Jin Yun's defenses.

Ye Jingxiang knew that this move of Lu Chen's was not to be underestimated. In addition, he had seen the competition between Lu Chen and Luo You and Kong Xiang, and knew that Lu Chen was very strong. Ye Jingxiang shouted. He knew that he could not avoid Lu Chen's attacks, which was why he chose to face Lu Chen's attacks. This way, he would be able to gain a slight chance of victory.

The green light of Lu Chen's Wave Slaying Blade clashed with the calm white light of Ye Jingxiang in midair, and even deadlocked in the sky. After a while, he suddenly heard a "Bang!" With a "Ye Jingxiang's white light" being cut off by Lu Chen's green light, the green light charged straight at Ye Jingxiang.

"Pfft." Before Ye Jingxiang could even react, he was struck by Lu Chen's Wave Slash. Although the deadlock between 'Wave Slash' and 'Calm Wind and Wave' had caused some damage, Ye Jingxiang was still injured.

"Clear Sky Slash." Lu Chen continued to attack Ye Jingxiang.

Seeing Lu Chen's attack, Ye Jingxiang hurriedly took out his high-grade magic tool, the Cloud Tortoise Shield.

"Pfft." Lu Chen's Clear Cloud Slash landed on the Cloud Tortoise Shield, causing a huge crater to appear on it. Once again, he was injured.

Ye Jingxiang looked at his Cloud Tortoise Shield with a pained expression. He knew that he couldn't continue like this or he would lose for sure. Thus, he kept his Cloud Tortoise Shield and took out a large number of talismans from his storage pouch before throwing them towards Lu Chen.

Seeing so many talismans exploding in front of him, Lu Chen felt like his vision had been blocked. "Not good." Lu Chen immediately became alert. He wanted to use his Spiritual Sense to investigate what Lin Youyuan had said, so he decided to guess what Ye Jingxiang was going to do based on what he knew.

"If he does." Lu Chen's mind suddenly cleared up.

"Bam." Lu Chen picked up his Cyan Cloud Sword and stabbed it towards his left side.

"How did you know I would be here?" Ye Jingxiang was surprised.

"I guessed." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Clear Sky Slash." Lu Chen executed the Clear Sky Slash once again.

Due to being too close to Lu Chen, Ye Jingxiang didn't even have time to react before he was hit.

BOOM! Ye Jingxiang was ejected out of the battle and lay unconscious on the ground.

"Lu Chen, victory." Qiu Ren said.

"Congratulations, Lu Chen." "In fact, in his heart, he hoped that Lu Chen would win." Below, number thirteen against number thirty. " said Roger.

Lu Chen stepped down from the stage and continued watching the remaining four matches. The remaining four matches were also fought by the three seniors, while the person who was ranked first in this year's new students was ambushed and lost due to carelessness. The match ended in the afternoon.

"All of you should go back and rest for tomorrow's Challenger League. Now, all of you should go back to the side courtyard." said Roger.

After Luo You finished speaking, everyone went back to the academy to prepare for the Challenge Competition the next day.
