Beauty and the Bodyguard

As for whether or not Ziyu noticed it, that wasn't for sure, but even if she did, she wouldn't care-she focused on taking the initiative in instant combat. Even if she missed an opening, she couldn't follow the rhythm unless she had the absolute confidence to kill the opponent in one hit. This was the first rule that Lin Yi emphasized when he taught her about instant combat.

Bang! Bang! In that moment, Ziyu's chain of attacks knocked him to the ground, but she didn't stop there. She continued to attack him, not showing any mercy at all.

"Ugh ... That's brutal ..." Everyone's eyes twitched. As long as he didn't admit defeat or faint, the fight wouldn't be over. Even if he fell, he could still chase after him. But this was a test where most people would stop at a certain point, and it was rare to see someone like Ziyu.

Even Lin Yi and the others felt a shiver run down their spines-Ziyu was a tough person, after all.

After a while, Xin Yijie couldn't bear to see Luo shasheng being beaten to death. He stepped forward and said,""Alright, that's it for the fight. I declare Ying Ziyu the winner, and Luo shasheng one-three losses, eliminated."

"Ah? It's over?" Ziyu stopped, still looking as if she wanted more.

"That's enough. Save some energy for the next round. " Lin Yi sweated as he looked at the mess Luo shasheng was in-it was his bad luck to have an opponent like Ziyu.

"Alright, but Lin Yi bro's instant strike technique you taught me was really amazing! I felt like my whole body was on fire as I fought, I couldn't stop!" Ziyu said excitedly as she hugged Lin Yi's arm.

Everyone smiled when they heard this. This shouldn't be the effect of instant strike at close range, but purely because of her special physique!

Ziyu's victory was a good start for everyone-Yu Bing, Kang Xiaobo, and the others all passed as expected, with three wins and one loss each.

With that, there were only two people left in the fifth round-Ziyu and Leng Leng.

But with Ziyu's current condition, there shouldn't be much to worry about in the next round. At least for the early Foundation Stage, getting close to someone and using instant attacks was a very difficult fight. Most people would be caught off guard, and without the guidance of an expert, no one would be able to block her attacks.

Now, the one who was a little worried was Leng Leng. Although her current strength was very strong, not only did she have the ice-shattering physique, but she had also developed a powerful move like drawing the ground as a prison. However, she had just advanced to the foundation building perfected stage, and at the same time, she was facing the dilemma of insufficient physical strength and true Qi. If she could not recover in time, she might repeat the mistake of the fourth round, which would be troublesome.

"Lin Yi bro, why don't you give sister Lengleng a one-on-one special training as well? everything would be fine then." Ziyu suggested. She herself was a living example, and with Lin Yi's level and judgment, there was no doubt that the individual training would be effective.

"That's good. " Lin Yi nodded and turned to Leng Leng. "There's still a lot of room for improvement whether it's drawing the ground as a prison or other aspects. You should be able to gain something from it with targeted special training. What do you think?"

"This ..." Leng Leng hesitated for a moment before she shook her head firmly."Biting off more than you can chew. Right now, I haven't even properly consolidated my strength as a perfected foundation building cultivator, and I haven't familiarized myself with drawing the ground as a prison yet. So, I think that the special training should be left for the future. This time, I want to overcome it with my own efforts."

"Alright then, I believe in you. Good luck." Lin Yi patted her shoulder lightly. It was a bit risky, but he was glad. It was just like what Leng Leng said-biting off more than you can chew. It was rare for her to realize this.

In the fifth round of the competition, no one chose to challenge those of a higher cultivation level. After all, those who were left for this round were the disciples who had won two matches and lost two matches. At this time, there was no room for any surprises. Instead of choosing to challenge those of a higher cultivation level, it was better to participate in the fifth round. At least, this way, the difficulty would be lower, and the chances of obtaining the qualification to participate in the ancient trial would be greater.

There were only four perfected Foundation Stage cultivators left. When Xin Yijie drew out the first group, everyone was shocked. Their gazes instantly focused on the two people in the middle of the stage, coldly facing off against Duanmu Yu!

"Oh? It looks like I've caught up with a good show!" Xue Jianfeng laughed with interest. After a few days of recovery, the frostbite from Leng Leng's extreme woodcarving technique had healed. However, because of this, he wasn't present to supervise the battle these few days, so he didn't specifically target Lin Yi's group. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pass so smoothly.

Fortunately, the results of this draw did not disappoint him. However, he had to admit that Leng Leng's strength was indeed extraordinary, especially her "ground prison" move. It was extremely shocking, and it would be difficult for ordinary experts of the same level to contend against her. However, Duanmu Yu was no ordinary character. Moreover, from the previous match, it could be seen that Leng Leng's condition was not considered good. Thus, her chances of winning this match against Duanmu Yu were not high.

If Duanmu Yu could eliminate Leng Leng just like that, even though it would be barely satisfactory for Xue Jianfeng, it would still be a form of comfort.

At this moment, not only Xue Jianfeng, but the rest of the crowd also revealed an expression of anticipation. After all, this was a rare battle that would be the focus of attention. Both sides were the hot topic of discussion, especially this was the final battle. No matter what the result was, one side was bound to be eliminated on the spot. Who would be the one to be eliminated?

"Please," he said. Leng Leng took the lead and bowed to Duanmu Yu.

"Please," he said. Duanmu Yu, on the other hand, made a gesture of invitation in a carefree manner. On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but in his heart, he was secretly on guard, warning himself that no matter what, he could not let the other party use the painting ground as a prison. Even Xue Jianfeng, an early jiedan stage expert, almost suffered a disaster. If she was the one trapped, then everything would be over.

After the two of them finished greeting each other, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. The people around them didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, quietly waiting for the two of them to officially start.

After a moment's confrontation, Leng Leng finally took the lead to make her move. She went all out as soon as she came up to the stage, as if she was about to use the painted ground as a prison.
