Dongfang Yu's request was readily agreed to by Du Diwei. He was not familiar with the internal matters of the Afu Mi Forbidden Zone and was unwilling to interfere too much. Whether it was surprise or shock, his only responsibility was to bring Guan Yue.
The semi-annual assessment began with the grade Ranking Match. Since Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and the others were already second-year students, they were now competing for a top three position in their grade's Ranking Match to qualify for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking competition.
Lei Dazhuang and Marco had no hope of contending for the top three, but they aimed to settle scores with Zhang Hai and Yang Zun in this Ranking Match, as these two were traitors who had almost led to the downfall of Guan Yue and the others. This grudge must be avenged.
After the preliminary rounds, the list was released, and surprisingly, all the top ten were people Guan Yue knew: Helian Jiaolan, Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Sima Xiaosa, Wang Renwei, Huangfu Jiayun, Yin Fu, Ruo Yi, and Zihongfang. Among them, the Huangfu Sisters and Sima Xiaosa had received guidance from Guan Yue, while Naijia had been advised by Naiqian and Ouyang Shaohua; they could be considered friends of Guan Yue. Wang Renwei, Ruo Yi, and Zihongfang were friends of Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, while only Yin Fu and Helian Jiaolan had not allied with either side.
Now they were about to enter the finals to secure a top three position and compete for a spot in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking's Ranking Match. Once they entered that match, there would be significant rewards, including valuable realm-enhancing elixirs like Realm Impact Pills and Realm Elevation Pills.
The second-year finals finally began. Many talented individuals from the second year drew disciples from the Inner Courtyard to watch their finals, including Lu Tao, He Bi, Jiang Tianlan, Du Diwei, Xiahou Xiong, Naiqian, and others. Naturally, Lu Tao, being at the half-step Guardian Realm level, did not regard them as opponents nor was he concerned about their competition.
Guan Yue and Ouyang Shaohua also came to watch their matches.
First up was Wang Renwei against Zihongfang. At this point, Wang Renwei had reached High-Quality cultivation and no longer regarded even Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian as a threat; he looked down on Zihongfang even more. Thus, he launched a fierce attack right away, leaving Zihongfang unable to retaliate at all and quickly forcing him off the Arena.
Wang Renwei won.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian felt secretly angry: one should consider their master when beating a dog; how dare he be so arrogant? I will make him pay.
Next was Ruo Yi against Huangfu Jiayin. Ruo Yi was very eager to knock Huangfu Jiayin off the Arena immediately; however, Huangfu Jiayin was quite agile and continuously used ranged techniques to keep Ruo Yi on her toes. Ruo Yi found herself running all over the Arena while the audience watched in astonishment! Even Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian did not expect Ruo Yi to be so desperate for victory during this match. He knew Ruo Yi would undoubtedly lose this round.
Sure enough, Huangfu Jiayin won this match.
Next up was Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian against Helian Jiaolan. As soon as they entered the arena, Helian Jiaolan launched an attack on Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian without hesitation. She was determined to win this match; she wanted to conquer Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian!
Guan Yue watched intently from below as Helian Jiaolan fought; he was secretly astonished. If it hadn't been for his use of Mental Cage last time to confuse her, it would have been hard to predict the outcome.
At this moment, her Nunchaku was being wielded with great skill and power. It put considerable pressure on Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian because those sticks moved like shadows around him—constantly threatening him. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian realized he had underestimated Helian Jiaolan; she had now become a formidable opponent. A moment's carelessness could lead to his defeat at her hands.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian wielded the Greatsword and seriously broke down each move against Helian Jiaolan. At that moment, Helian Jiaolan once again launched a Mental Attack, targeting Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's mind. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was extremely frustrated that Helian Jiaolan kept pressing him, leaving him unable to take out his headgear to defend against her Mental Attack. In desperation, he had no choice but to use his spell Transforming Mountains and Rivers to influence Helian Jiaolan again, but this time, the power of Transforming Mountains and Rivers was significantly greater.
Guan Yue could clearly feel that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's cultivation had made remarkable progress. If he had been able to cultivate Transforming Mountains and Rivers to such a level back then, he would have been defeated by him. Now, Helian Jiaolan also found it difficult to deal with Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's magical attacks, and her offensive began to slow down.
However, under Helian Jiaolan's Mental Attack, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was still affected, and both were holding on. Relying solely on Origin Energy, they were evenly matched; now it depended on whose Mental Attack or magical attack was more powerful.
A stalemate emerged in the Arena. Both of their faces showed signs of exhaustion and struggle. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian felt deeply conflicted; he really wanted to win today's match so that Helian Jiaolan could play a role he could not fulfill. But if this stalemate continued, he would have to rely on his ultimate move to defeat Helian Jiaolan. However, he did not want to reveal that move just yet; he wanted to wait for a more necessary moment. That moment would come soon.
Helian Jiaolan was also conflicted. Should she go all out against Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian? If she didn't take decisive action, it might be very difficult to defeat him. But Helian Jiaolan was determined to win today's victory, so weighing the pros and cons, she made up her mind. She shouted loudly, "Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, be careful!" With her shout, several red lights burst forth from her hands, and a torrent of attacking energy surged directly toward Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
In an instant, even Guan Yue felt the terror of Helian Jiaolan's attack. The Origin Energy was overwhelming; it seemed far beyond what a Transcendent Practitioner could emit. It appeared she must have had some fortuitous encounter.
Guan Yue said to Ouyang Shaohua, "Did you notice? Helian Jiaolan is also launching an attack from her palms, just like Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. This is a technique that is very effective for launching surprise attacks on opponents. If possible, I would like to master this method as well."
Ouyang Shaohua thought for a moment and replied, "It might be the method of Primordial Spirit Transfer."
"Primordial Spirit Transfer?"
"My master mentioned that we can change the position from which we emit Primordial Yin; the method is through Primordial Spirit Transfer," Ouyang Shaohua explained earnestly to Guan Yue. Now she not only had a higher realm than Guan Yue but also had much more experience because Ouyang Shaohua was a very studious girl.
Guan Yue nodded and noted down the name of the Primordial Spirit Transfer technique.
At that moment, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian launched his final counterattack. He waved his hands, and immediately an overwhelming surge of Origin Energy erupted forth, directly confronting Helian Jiaolan's Origin Energy attack.
With a loud "buzz," a powerful shockwave shot outward from between the two of them, forcing both Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Helian Jiaolan back several steps. Clearly, the force generated by their collision exceeded their expectations.
Seeing Helian Jiaolan in a moment of confusion, the cunning Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian quickly advanced and launched an attack against her. Because Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian moved too swiftly, Helian Jiaolan did not react in time and was heavily struck by him, causing her body to fall. However, she rolled over and immediately stood up again; blood had already welled at the corner of her mouth. She lunged at Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian once more and unleashed another Origin Energy attack. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian did not stop either; he unleashed another powerful Origin Energy attack to counter Helian Jiaolan's assault. Their Origin Energies collided once again; this time Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian was pushed back five steps while Helian Jiaolan retreated ten steps.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's previous strike had injured Helian Jiaolan.
Soon after, Helian Jiaolan found herself cornered by Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian at the edge of the Arena.
“Go, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.”
“Drive Helian Jiaolan away.”
Xiahou Xiong, Ruo Yi, and others were shouting loudly, but as Helian Jiaolan retreated, she reorganized her strength. She was about to unleash a deadly strike, yet she still called out to Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, “Be careful, I’m going to use my big move.” Deep down, she did not want to harm Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
Suddenly, a small yellow vial appeared in her palm, from which yellow smoke continuously poured out. Under Helian Jiaolan's guidance, the smoke surged toward Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, completely engulfing him.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian lost his breath instantly, completely isolated from the surroundings, and felt as if he was suffocating. Realizing his dangerous situation, he became frantic and pulled out a pen, aiming it at Helian Jiaolan. He wanted her dead!
A beam of light shot from the pen directly toward Helian Jiaolan, who was watching Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian in fear that he might suffocate. Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian struck first; the beam hit her squarely in the chest, and she collapsed to the ground. The yellow smoke dissipated along with her fall.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian rushed over and snatched the vial from Helian Jiaolan's hand. He was terrified of the yellow smoke inside and needed to keep it in his possession.
Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian won this match! Helian Jiaolan lost and would have to serve as Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian's attendant for a year. Little did she know that because of this match, she would lose her lifelong happiness.
Guan Yue watched the entire match and gained insights from it. He remarked to Ouyang Shaohua, “The role of magical artifacts and treasures in actual combat should not be underestimated.”
“Of course,” Ouyang Shaohua nodded. “My master has repeatedly told me to always be vigilant about the treasures, magical artifacts, foreign objects, and illusions that opponents might use because they are matters of life and death.”
Guan Yue silently agreed, “You’re right. We should also find some magical artifacts and treasures.”
