He had consecutively defeated two geniuses from Earth Peak: Ye Kuangxing and Qin Jingxian. Qin Tian's ranking had risen to sixth place.
It felt like a dream.
No one dared to believe that Qin Tian had truly become the sixth in the Inner Sect.
He had been in the sect for less than half a year.
How did he achieve this?
"Who else is there from Earth Peak?" Qin Tian asked, looking at Gao Jian beside him.
"The Ancient Sword, ranked fourth last year, and Rokai, ranked third," Gao Jian replied, his beady eyes glancing at the defeated crowd on the Earth Peak Arena.
At this moment, there was silence on Earth Peak.
This year, Earth Peak had four positions in the top ten.
In the Three Great Peaks, Aolou Peak stood alone.
However, who would have thought that Qin Tian, a newcomer, would make such a strong impression in his first year at the Inner Sect Tournament by decisively defeating Ye Kuangxing and Qin Jingxian?
This left Earth Peak humiliated.
Sky Peak had already been struggling with Gong Xueyi, and now another Qin Tian emerged. How were they supposed to cope?
"It seems it's time to... huh?"
The Ancient Sword, who had been silent, was about to speak when unexpectedly, Qin Tian stepped onto the Arena.
Beneath his white robes, his slender figure exuded an extraordinary aura.
The murmurs in the Arena ceased immediately.
Those who had previously looked down on Qin Tian chose to remain silent.
"What is he planning? Is he challenging someone?"
There were whispers of confusion from the crowd below the Arena.
Facing the strange gazes from all around, Qin Tian looked towards Earth Peak Seat.
"Is there anyone at Earth Peak?"
It was a powerful declaration.
An absolute display of strength.
At this moment, Qin Tian dared to challenge Earth Peak all on his own.
Crack!
A sharp sound echoed from the Elder Seat.
Elder Di Feng's face twisted with rage.
Qin Tian was simply infuriating.
With nothing to lose, he felt fearless.
Challenging Earth Peak meant that even if he lost, no one would consider it shameful given his status as a newcomer.
However, if Earth Peak were to lose another member, then even if Rokai intervened to suppress him, it would be of no use.
Dark Moon It’s dangerous!
“Could it be that no one is here?”
Qin Tian chuckled lightly, realizing that there was no response from the Earth Peak Seat.
The trembling Luo Tianxuan looked expectantly at Rokai.
Unfortunately, Rokai did not respond.
Bang!
A figure suddenly shot from the Earth Peak Seat, racing toward the Arena.
With an overwhelming aura of killing intent, it appeared right in front of Qin Tian.
“Ancient Sword of the Earth Peak.”
A figure towering over Qin Tian, holding a sword, stood firm.
“Sky Peak Qin Tian.”
A faint smile appeared on Qin Tian's lips.
Finally, he was about to face off against the Ancient Sword, ranked second on Earth Peak and fourth in the Inner Sect!
An inexplicable excitement surged within.
The powerful aura emanating from the latter, reminiscent of the Nine Heavens in its later stages, solidified the air around them.
Even Qin Tian's breathing became somewhat hurried.
"Three Human-Level Martial Arts, all perfected. This opponent is worth fighting!"
Qin Tian's eyes were filled with fervor.
His Double Pupil could imprint any martial arts he witnessed. Once he learned one or two techniques, they would surely come in handy against Rokai.
With his Double Pupil activated, Qin Tian was fully committed.
"This time, there can be no accidents!"
On Earth Peak, Luo Tianxuan watched as his second senior brother took the stage, finally feeling a weight lift from his heart.
"If Cun Jian takes this seriously, it will only take one strike."
As the eldest disciple of Earth Peak, if Rokai had lost control and attacked earlier, even if he won, it would have been a disgrace for Earth Peak.
As the battle commenced, many spectators in the Arena had already lost interest in the outcome of the match.
In the realm of the Eight Heavens and Nine Heavens, there existed three perfected Human-Level Martial Arts.
But the outcome no longer mattered.
The Sky Peak seat was at stake.
Du Ziheng, filled with pent-up frustration, finally found a glimmer of hope for release.
"Damn it, you little brat, winning streak after winning streak. This time, let's see how you come out on top. Hahaha!"
Du Ziheng no longer cared about the strange looks from his fellow disciples on the same peak.
He laughed wildly.
"I am ashamed to share a mountain peak with you."
Gao Jian clenched his small fists tightly.
"Heh, you defend this waste so fiercely? How about a bet? One thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones; Qin Tian is bound to lose."
Du Ziheng seemed to have found an opportunity for revenge as he pulled out a Cosmic Bag from his robe and tossed it in front of Gao Jian.
"Deal! Here are two thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones; I bet on Qin Tian's victory."
Gao Jian could not stand anyone speaking ill of Qin Tian.
Although he usually appeared lewd, narcissistic, and lustful, when it came to crucial moments, he would never back down.
The spirit stones he had just won were all on the line here.
"Only two thousand? I've got another eight thousand right here."
Du Ziheng chuckled, pulling out another Cosmic Bag from his pocket.
That was all his savings.
"Qin Tian is nothing but a waste! Only you still treat him like a treasure. Ha ha, with nine thousand spirit stones, this waste is bound to lose!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Jian's entire body trembled with rage. His face turned crimson; he could not tolerate seeing someone close to him being insulted by others.
"You keep calling others waste—what about your own abilities? When the challenge began, why did no one step up to challenge you? After Donglin Senior Brother was taken down by Qin Tian, did no one want to support you? No one cares about you, the guy just filling numbers!"
Gao Jian pointed furiously at Du Ziheng's nose.
"Ha ha, do you not have nine thousand spirit stones? If you don't, then don't bet with me. You’re not worthy!"
Du Ziheng's pride was once again attacked. As the senior brother of Sky Peak, he had already been overshadowed by the Third Junior Disciple.
Then, overshadowed by the aura of the Second Junior Sister.
With the Third Junior Disciple being incapacitated and hiding in the Cave to survive, the Second Junior Sister made a stunning appearance.
Finally, there was a glimmer of opportunity to rise up and reclaim dignity.
However, unexpectedly, Qin Tian emerged like a bolt from the blue.
The Nine Dragons Hall was trampled upon, and the Second Junior Sister was quite favored, even entering the Top Ten in her first year at the Inner Sect Tournament with her Channeling Realm cultivation at Eight Heavens.
As if that wasn't enough!
Now, she had consecutively defeated two geniuses from Earth Peak, soaring to sixth place.
Her ranking was even higher than his.
As the Sky Peak's Senior Brother, what dignity did he have left? What face could he show?
The pent-up anger finally erupted at this moment.
"Sixteen thousand spirit stones, Fourth Junior Disciple, take it."
At that moment, Gong Xueyi, who had been silent all along, suddenly pulled out an Advanced Spatial Bag from her sleeve.
She tossed it into Gao Jian's hands.
"Does he deserve it now?"
Her beautiful eyes flickered as Gong Xueyi stared directly at Du Ziheng.
The thin Du Ziheng's face instantly flushed red, his teeth clenched tightly.
His fingers were tightly curled, sharp nails digging into his palms.
Why is she everywhere?
Gao Jian, having obtained the Advanced Spatial Bag, smiled and said, "Second Senior Sister, thank you. Du Ziheng, do I qualify now?"
Bang!
The Advanced Spatial Bag landed crisply in front of Du Ziheng.
It felt like a slap to his face.
Two obscure Cosmic Bags stood in stark contrast to this intricately designed and exceptionally high-grade Cosmic Bag.
It was nothing short of mockery!
"Eighteen thousand spirit stones, is it?"
Du Ziheng pulled out an Elixir Bottle that glowed faintly from his pocket.
"This is the elixir Master has granted me in advance to break through to the Qi Control Realm, worth at least nine thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones."
At this point, Du Ziheng had nothing more to say. He placed the Elixir Bottle between them and turned his gaze toward the Arena.
"In this match, Qin Tian is bound to lose. If I can obtain eighteen thousand Spirit Stones, I will be able to step into the Qi Control Realm sooner! At that time, let's see who can still take away my glory!"
With a strong sense of pride, Du Ziheng silently shouted in his heart.
Bang!
As the betting at Sky Peak reached a thrilling climax, the battle in the Arena had already begun.
Ancient Sword moved like a blade itself, exuding sword energy and unmatched killing intent.
With a single move, he directly unleashed a set of human-level formations.
"Ding Tian Formation."
A Void Cauldron appeared behind him.
Immediately, the air around them became murky, and even Qin Tian's perfected movement technique could not allow him to shift his steps.
"Turns out he is also a Formation Master."
Qin Tian never expected that this Ancient Sword, which appeared to be a sword cultivator, was actually a Formation Master.
This was the first Formation Master Qin Tian had encountered.
"Since we are both Formation Masters, let your formations lead you to victory!"
The voice from his right eye echoed for the first time today.
Clearly, in battles of this level, even the Martial God Senior could not help but make an appearance.
"Soul Binding Demon Array!"
After stepping into the Eight Heavens in his cultivation, Qin Tian experienced a qualitative leap in his mastery of the Soul Binding Demon Array.
In the past, casting it would take at least several breaths.
Once engaged in battle, it was difficult to find the opportunity to cast it.
Preparation had to be made in advance.
However, after entering the Eight Heavens, Qin Tian could cast the Soul Binding Demon Array without needing that much time.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
After a series of explosive sounds, the Soul Binding Demon Array was fully set up.
Boom!
A violent explosion echoed as a Void Cauldron came crashing down toward Qin Tian's body.
However, it was unexpectedly blocked by the already established Soul Binding Demon Array.
The Soul Binding Demon Array was a fragment of the Heavenly Stage Formation.
Although its previous performance was somewhat unsatisfactory, that was due to Qin Tian's insufficient cultivation.
No matter how strong the formation is, it is merely an aid.
Only by being powerful oneself can the formation's strength be enhanced.
This is why some great practitioners, even when using ordinary low-level techniques, can still slay gods and buddhas.
Formations are divided into seven stages: low-level, mid-level, high-level, human-level, Earth Level, Heavenly Level, and divine level.
The Ding Tian Formation is merely a complete human-level formation.
The Soul Binding Demon Array, despite its weaknesses, is still part of the Heavenly Stage Formation.
Moreover, with the assistance of the Martial God Senior, the demon array had already been evolved to the third heaven.
With Qin Tian's cultivation of the Eight Heavens, he already possessed the strength to suppress the Channeling Realm of the Nine Heavens.
Bang!
The violent explosion continued.
The Void Cauldron only held on for a few breaths before, under the astonished gazes of everyone, it shattered piece by piece.
The Ancient Sword had never encountered such a situation since successfully cultivating the Ding Tian Formation.
At that moment, on the Elder Seat.
A group of elders from the Xuan Yang Sword Sect finally realized that the formation Qin Tian had unleashed was the Soul Binding Demon Array.
Among them was Panxi, an elder who had previously advised Qin Tian against using this formation, sitting at the end of the Elder Seat.
At this moment, witnessing this scene, his face was filled with shock.
"How did this kid manage to cultivate this formation to the third level? I remember that the remnants only mentioned one level!"
Boom!
With no more obstacles, the Soul Binding Demon Array swiftly confined the Ancient Sword.
Its massive form could not withstand it and, with a thud, it knelt down on both knees.
"I lost!"
Ancient Sword chose to concede, nearly collapsing in defeat.
Three consecutive victories!
In the challenge, he had defeated Ye Kuangxing, Qin Jingxian, and Ancient Sword one after another.
Qin Tian's ranking soared from Tenth Place to fourth.
He replaced Ancient Sword.
The entire venue fell into silence.
A true silence.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the Sky Peak seats.
"You lost, Du Ziheng. Hand over the Qi Control Realm elixir and nine thousand spirit stones!"
Everyone stared blankly at the Sky Peak seats, only to see the furious Du Ziheng snatch all the spirit stones and elixirs, rising into the air like a streak of light, dashing toward the distant horizon.
