Right after he finished speaking, Wu Sheng walked towards the Battlestage first.

Zi Chen was currently recovering his zhenqi, and beside him, Lin Xue nibbled on his red lip, ready to go up the stage.

"Just give up, you're not his opponent." Zi Chen asked in concern.

Lin Xue shook his head and chuckled: "It's fine, I want to see just how strong he is, and what kind of trump cards he has."

After that, Lin Xue walked into the Battlestage.

"Not bad at all. Beautiful, caring, and also very smart. Kid, what dog shit luck did you have?" Miao Kong, who was at the side, was full of envy.

Lin Xue's original intention was too obvious, it was to uncover the depths of Wu Sheng, so that Zi Chen would have more chances to win.

"Thank you." Zi Chen said softly, and was very touched.

In the Battlestage, Wu Sheng waited until Lin Xue had arrived before saying a few polite words before launching his attack.

"Thousand Illusion Palm."

"Star Explosion Fist."

This was the touch of the Second-Rate Combat Technique, and a sonic boom sounded out, causing the entire Battlestage to tremble once again.

On Battlestage, the battle was very intense, but the situation was one-sided. To be able to reach here, Lin Xue had to rely on his strength and not his appearance, the Second-Rate Combat Technique and his True Intent, he was very strong.

But when going against Wu Sheng who was at the sixth level of the zhenqi, an existence who had also comprehended the true meaning of the Second-Rate Combat Technique, was immediately at the bottom.

"This Wu Sheng has great talent too, to be able to obtain such a cultivation realm at just sixteen years of age." On high platform, a few clan elders watched the battle and chatted.

"Of course it's right. Wu Sheng's Star Explosion Fist has already been comprehended to an extremely deep realm."

"Wu Sheng's potential and strength is among the best amongst the disciples." An elder said.

"What top-notch, I think Wu Sheng's potential is first."

The group of elders chatted while the Head Elder watched the battle with squinted eyes. The Second Elder listened to the conversation with a much more relaxed expression.

The few of them chatted casually, but intentionally ignored Zi Chen, saying that they were chatting, but most of the time they were discussing who would enter the core circle and become the only core disciple.

"Bang."

The battle on the Battlestage continued for around fifteen minutes, until Wu Sheng completely displayed his might. Finally, Lin Xue was defeated.

This time, as if on purpose, Wu Sheng displayed another type of Second-Rate Combat Technique, the Overlord's Step.

Yet another movement technique that had comprehended true intent was extremely mysterious.

Taking advantage of the two recovering zhenqi, the crowd started to discuss. If there were no surprises, then the spot of core disciple should appear between Zi Chen and Wu Sheng.

Judging from the current situation, the two of them seemed to have the same talent.

Zi Chen's only weakness was that his strength was low, but his comprehension of the Battle skills was very deep. The reason why there was no Second-Rate Combat Technique was because Zi Chen did not have a way to obtain it.

On the other hand, the mysterious Wu Sheng did. At this moment, it seemed like someone had guessed that there was someone within the internal portal, and that they were not ordinary people.

"In the next battle, Zi Chen against Lin Xue."

When Lin Xue's zhenqi recovered, the voice of an elder came from the high platform once again.

This time, Lin Xue was very decisive, "I admit defeat."

It was an unexpected but reasonable decision. It only stirred up some ripples in the crowd.

After that, everyone's gazes turned towards Zi Chen and Wu Sheng. If nothing unexpected happened, the final result of this battle, would predict who would be the one to enter the internal portal.

The winner was the winner.

As Wu Sheng stepped onto the Battlestage, he slowly followed suit.

On the Battlestage, the two of them looked at each other with incomparably calm eyes.

Below Battlestage, everyone's gaze was fixated on the two people.

"That's right." The distant Su Mengyao, said softly. It was unknown how many times she had praised Zi Chen today. At the side, Chen Feng's eyes had already turned cold.

In his heart, Su Mengyao could only praise him alone. In his heart, other than a sliver of jealousy, there was also an indescribable sense of danger from when he admired Zi Chen.

All of the elders' gazes had also landed on the two people from Battlestage. The luck of today, would appear between the two of them.

"Bang."

With a dull thud, a battle broke out. This time, the battle was even more intense than the previous ones.

"Roar!"

The fierce tiger's roars resounded continuously. Three types of Fierce Tiger Fist s were struck out by Zi Chen in one strike, and he used his full strength the moment they appeared.

"Star Explosion Fist."

Wu Sheng stepped onto his Overlord Steps, unleashing the powerful attack of the Star Explosion Fist. The zhenqi around his body surged even more rapidly, as if it could explode at any time.

Boom!

The clashing of voices sounded consecutively, and the entire Battlestage began to shake.

"This Zi Chen has such a strong physique, to think that he could actually defend against six stages of true qi with five levels of zhenqi." On high platform, an elder could not help but exclaim.

"Wu Sheng is also not bad, his strength is very strong, and his comprehension of the Battle skills is also very deep."

Boom!

On the high platform, another fierce clash appeared. The two of them flew back again.

"Again." Zi Chen clenched his teeth, his fists clenched tightly as he punched again.

After continuously attacking, his zhenqi had consumed a lot of energy, but Wu Sheng's energy consumption was not weak either. After an hour, Zi Chen's zhenqi was completely used up, and his breathing became hurried.

And even though Wu Sheng's consumption was not small, she still had the zhenqi.

"It's over, Zi Chen is going to lose. Without the zhenqi, he would be like a toothless tiger." Some people from the Battlestage could not help but sigh.

"Is he finally going to lose?"

A cold light flashed across Wang Xiong's eyes. If Zi Chen lost, he would not be able to enter into the core. On the other hand, he had a dozen or so ways to kill Zi Chen while staying in the internal portal.

"Zi Chen, you have used up all your zhenqi, you have lost."

Wu Sheng, who had been silent all this time, coldly said.

"I haven't fallen yet." Zi Chen also coldly replied.

"Alright, I'll help you." Wu Sheng sneered, stepped using the Overlord's Steps, and rushed towards Zi Chen. At the same time, he executed his full power attack.

The wind whistled as it gushed over, Zi Chen punched his fist to block it.

"Bang."

Under the dull sound, the entire Battlestage shook once more. Zi Chen retreated a few more steps, but did not collapse.

"What?"

Regardless of whether it was the elders in the audience or the spectators below Battlestage, all of them looked at Zi Chen in shock. He, who did not have any zhenqi, had actually blocked one of Wu Sheng's attacks, how strong was his physique?

And facing Zi Chen, Wu Sheng's expression also suddenly changed, before once again punching out.

BOOM, BOOM!

After a few more attacks, Zi Chen still did not fall, but Wu Sheng's zhenqi was almost completely depleted. If both sides did not have the zhenqi, just comparing their physique would naturally result in Wu Sheng losing.

So he retreated, and did not attack again. Zi Chen was gasping for air, but he also did not attack.

"Alright, stop."

Just then, the voice of an elder sounded out from the spectator's stand. He sat beside the Great Clan Elder, and was the Second Clan Elder. He stood up and spoke to the two people on the Battlestage: "You guys have exhausted a lot of energy, and have not finished yet.

The second elder's sudden words were out of everyone's expectations. Even the other elders were stunned, but they quickly nodded their heads in agreement.

"Sure." Zi Chen's breathing gradually calmed, and did not have any objections to the second elder's suggestion. If the two of them were side by side, then the second was obviously Lin Xue, and the third was Miao Kong, which was not very good.

Furthermore, Zi Chen believed that the reward for being ranked first would definitely be double, and not be shared between the two of them.

Zi Chen nodded his head, the matter was already set, because anyone could see that if they continued to fight, once Wu Sheng's zhenqi was exhausted, he would definitely lose, so when Zi Chen agreed, there was no reason for Wu Sheng to not agree.

Zi Chen agreed, but Wu Sheng suddenly said: "I don't agree."

The crowd went into an uproar as soon as the words left his mouth. Even the Second Elder was stunned for a moment before anger filled his eyes.

Wu Sheng did not care about the Second Elder's gaze and looked at Zi Chen, and said indifferently: "Zi Chen, I have a strongest move, and have not used it yet. Do you dare to wait for me to recover and let me use this move, if you can block this move, then I, Wu Sheng, will naturally admit defeat.

Zi Chen calmly said: "Very good suggestion, I also have one move that I have not used, and I do not wish to share it with others."

The Second Elder suddenly stood up and let Zi Chen choose a proposal that was slightly disadvantageous to him. Zi Chen had already guessed a bit, and hearing Wu Sheng's words, Zi Chen was already able to confirm that the one taking care of Wu Sheng was the Second Elder, moreover, why there was suddenly an additional spot of core disciples in this year, seems to have something to do with Wu Sheng.

If Zi Chen's expectations weren't wrong, the position would belong to Wu Sheng, but his sudden appearance had disrupted the Second Clan Elder's plans, so when Wu Sheng was about to lose, he came out to stop him.

Since both parties had won, they naturally had to choose one to enter the internal portal, and this person was Wu Sheng. If Wu Sheng lost, then choosing Wu Sheng to enter the core again seemed to be unreasonable.

didn't dare to think of such things in the past, but now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he wanted to seize it as well. So, he nodded because he wanted to win, and after he obtained victory, he would be able to enter into the Core realm and become a core disciple.

"Hmph." The high platform's Second Elder snorted and sat down angrily.

And on Battlestage, Zi Chen and Wu Sheng sat cross legged and started to recover their zhenqi. Different from Zi Chen, when Wu Sheng was sitting cross-legged, he actually swallowed a Pills.

"Qi Returning Pill." Some knowledgeable people recognized the Pills.

To obtain Qi Returning Pill s, disciples of internal portal s would have to use Contribution Points s as an exchange. Exchanging one Contribution Points for one would be considered a luxury good.

Wu Sheng had just entered the internal portal and there were no Contribution Points, yet there was actually a Qi Returning Pill.

The two of them were recovering their zhenqi, so under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zi Chen naturally did not dare to recklessly activate the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Spell, otherwise, the speed at which the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Spell was being absorbed would far surpass that of an ordinary person, and would naturally attract attention.
