Inside the pagoda, Pei Yun was facing the toughest battle since entering the pagoda. This time his opponent was a woman in green with a flute. She started with a wave of attacks, catching Pei Yun off guard, and he retreated unsteadily.

The opponent took advantage of the victory and pursued. She waved her sleeves lightly and scattered countless seeds into the air. Under the urging of her soul power, the seeds grew rapidly and turned into vines as thick as forearms that entangled Pei Yun...

Pei Yun no longer had the energy to attack the opponent, and immediately used the Water Shield to resist. Unfortunately, the opponent's skills were obviously better. Moreover, when the opponent was activating the seeds just now, she felt a vibrant breath from the opponent. It was obvious that the opponent's wood state of mind had reached a high level or even a perfect state.

Therefore, the water shield only lasted for a few moments before being broken. She used the Light and Shadow of the Void Realm to dodge the entanglement of waves of vines while urging the Void Pavilion. Soon, a layer of Void Pavilion appeared around her body, covering her...

The chase between the two men lasted for a while. The opponent had been suppressing Pei Yun, but Pei Yun was like hiding in a turtle shell at this moment. Although it could ensure temporary safety, this stalemate was not a solution.

She didn't know how much soul power the other party had left, but she only had more than 30% left. Once it was exhausted, she would be eliminated. Most of her previous victories were due to exhausting the opponent's soul power. This time it seemed that it was her turn.

The woman in green saw that although the magic spells Pei Yun cast were not very powerful, her soul power and defensive capabilities were indeed first-class. Her cultivation was in the late Jindan stage, and her strength was one of the strongest among those who came in. In the previous battles, no one could withstand her attacks for so long. Pei Yun was the one who lasted the longest.

She obviously thought the same as Pei Yun and didn't want to continue to be in a stalemate. After all, most of her soul power had been consumed and there was still a battle to come.

She glanced at Pei Yun who was protected by Xu Ge, and seemed to have made up her mind. She opened her hands upwards, and green vines grew out from her palms little by little. The aura was much stronger than the vines that were grown from seeds before.

Pei Yun understood that the person in front of her was about to use his ultimate move. She had a premonition that this time the opponent's spell would break through her Void Pavilion. After all, she had only practiced the first level, and she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Pei Yun knew that the moment to decide elimination had come. She no longer held back and began to practice the third level of the Three Levels of Soul Refining in her mind, mobilizing the power of her soul and forming seals with her hands in front of her body.

Once the third level of the Three-fold Soul Refining Technique is mastered, one can mobilize the divine consciousness, that is, the soul power, and transform it into a weapon to attack. Although she has not fully mastered the third level, she can only fight hard at this time.

The moment the seal was completed, sparkling golden light appeared in her hand, just like the starlight in Pei Yun's sea of ​​consciousness before, except that now it appeared concretely on the palm of her hand. These golden lights gradually condensed together and were condensed into a small golden sword by Pei Yun using the power of his soul.

This small sword was completely condensed from Pei Yun's soul power, and was different from the sword she held before. The previous sword was transformed by the pagoda because of what she thought in her heart, but the sword itself had no attack power. However, this golden small sword could ignore the opponent's spells and directly attack the soul source. Victory or defeat depended on this one move.

The two of them moved at the same time, and the vines and the golden sword attacked each other without hesitation...

While Pei Yun was activating the golden sword, she immediately used the Void Realm under her feet. The scenes of her past failures in breaking into the secret space appeared before her eyes. This time, she stimulated her greatest potential to escape the opponent's attack...

The woman probably didn't expect Pei Yun's footwork to be so amazing. It was even faster than before. The vines were a beat slower each time and only captured her afterimage.

The woman in green did not take the golden sword seriously at first, thinking it was just an ordinary spell. After all, to her, the spells Pei Yun had used so far were very ordinary. She just recalled the vines that she had sprouted from the seeds before and used them to block in front of her.

What she never expected was that the golden sword easily passed through the vines, through the protective barrier she had built, and struck her chest. The woman hadn't reacted yet, she looked down at her chest blankly, and then her whole body turned into a ray of light and sank into Pei Yun's soul jade card, which flashed for a full forty-six times.

The surrounding attacks also disappeared, Pei Yun came to a new room, she sat down on the ground exhausted. She knew that when she used this soul attack move, whether she could win or not, she was about to be eliminated, because after using this move, her soul power was only less than half, and she would definitely lose the next battle.

At the same time, the outside world was in an uproar. At this moment, everyone's focus was on Chi Ningcheng. Just now, Chi Ningcheng added another 46 points, moving up two places and reaching sixth place.

This was unprecedented. In the past, the top six places had always been occupied by the royal family and the five largest cities, and other small cities were only ranked after the sixth place. But now Chi Ning City had done it. It actually surpassed a large city and squeezed into the sixth place. This was simply incredible!

Compared to the other smaller cities that were ranked lower and were just watching the fun, the people from the five major cities and the royal family also set their sights on Chi Ning City, and their faces became serious and solemn.

Especially the big city Taiyi City that was surpassed by Chi Ning City. The faces of the city lord of Taiyi City and the elders beside him seemed to be so gloomy that water could drip from them. They still couldn't believe that Taiyi City was surpassed by a small city. It was a shame. Fortunately, they still had two people in it, and the points difference was not much, so there was still a chance to turn things around.

City Lord Zhao has returned to the location of Chi Ning City. At this time, everyone around him was laughing triumphantly, praising Pei Yun non-stop and admiring the city lord's wise choice.

City Lord Zhao was feeling very elated now. He couldn't help but admire himself. After all, it was he who made the decision to let Pei Yun replace Elder Wang to compete.

"Shang'er, you're out too?!" The patriarch of the Xie family was very surprised. Xie Shang was in the late Jindan stage, and the technique he practiced was also a high-level secret book that the Xie family did not pass on to others. Logically, he should not have come out so early.

Xie Shang had just come back to her senses from the battle and laughed at herself: "I met a powerful opponent. Oh, she's a very young girl..." She guessed, "I wonder which of the five major cities trained this expert..."

Patriarch Xie's face froze when he heard this. He had just sat beside the emperor, but after hearing the descriptions of City Lord Zhao and the others, he felt a little trembling in his heart. He felt it was impossible, but he was a little hesitant: "Is the little girl you met... wearing a light yellow dress and looking only seventeen or eighteen years old?"

Xie Shang was startled, then stood up and asked, "Brother, how did you know?"

"..." Patriarch Xie didn't know what to say. While he was hesitating, a goose-yellow figure walked out of the pagoda...

At this moment, the noisy and lively discussions in the square suddenly became much quieter. Most of the people present stood up and looked straight at Pei Yun, watching her walk step by step towards the location of Chi Ningcheng...

As she expected, Pei Yunyi, who only had half of her soul power left, was killed instantly when she met the new opponent. When she came to her senses, she found that she was back to the teleportation array in the pagoda.

She walked out without noticing anything and returned the Soul Jade Tablet to the elder at the door. However, the elder looked at her carefully for a few seconds, then nodded to her with a gratified smile on his face.

Although it was a bit puzzling, Pei Yun nodded and saluted him out of politeness.

But now she felt something was completely wrong. Many people were looking at her openly. She even felt some powerful auras focusing on her, including the emperor in the center of the viewing platform. Of course, most of these eyes were harmless, just looking at her, but there were also a few malicious eyes staring at her fiercely...

Now not only the people from the royal family knew that the person who single-handedly pushed Chi Ningcheng to the sixth place was actually a young girl. Of course, the most important point is that she was only in the middle stage of foundation building! What a peerless genius!

This time, Pei Yun became truly famous by stepping on the faces of contestants from various cities!

"Chi Ningcheng actually relies on such a little girl..."

"Everyone, didn't you see her cultivation level? She is only in the middle stage of foundation building. How did she stay in the pagoda for so long..."

"Does she have a treasure to protect herself?"

"Are you stupid? How can you bring treasures with you when there are soul fragments in the pagoda?"

"That's what I thought! I saw Chi Ning City letting a little girl in the middle stage of foundation building participate in the competition. I thought they really couldn't find anyone in the city... It turns out... This is really..."

Those cultivators who had laughed at Chi Ningcheng for letting a little girl in the middle stage of foundation building to compete before entering were now slapped in the face. They thought that Chi Ningcheng really couldn't find anyone else and had brought her in to make up the numbers. In fact, he had sent out an unparalleled dark horse.

"Fifth sister!" When Pei Shi saw Pei Yun coming out, he hurriedly went to greet her happily.

"Brother." Pei Yun called out, and then whispered to Pei Shi beside him, "Brother, what's going on? Why are everyone staring at me?"

"Fifth sister, look!" Pei Shi pulled her arm and turned her around, asking her to look up at the Soul Jade Monument. "You really shocked everyone this time. You single-handedly pushed Chi Ning City to sixth place..."

At this time, City Lord Zhao and the cultivators from Chi Ning City behind him also came forward to greet her, surrounding her like a group of stars surrounding the moon, and welcomed her back to her position in Chi Ning City. People from other cities also gathered around to join in the fun, and the atmosphere was full of joy and excitement...

Soon, more than half a day passed, and the competition in the pagoda finally ended. All the participants were teleported out of the pagoda. The elders began to announce the rankings of the competition. In fact, there was no need to announce it, as everyone had already seen it on the Soul Jade Tablet.

The royal family still ranked first, followed by the five major cities. After Pei Yun came out, Taiyi City gained a lot of points and surpassed Chi Ning City without any suspense. Of course, it was only surpassed briefly, but it was still quite embarrassing.

The seventh place was Chi Ning City, which no one had expected before the competition. When the ranking of Chi Ning City was announced, the mayor of Chi Ning City and everyone behind him stood up excitedly, with joyful emotions on their faces, and they wanted to announce this ranking again...

Pei Yun stood up silently along with everyone else. Seeing that everyone around him was so excited that they were a little out of control, he could not help but hold his forehead in silence.

This City Lord Zhao must have forgotten that this is only the first competition, there is still a second competition! This attitude is too high-profile, really not afraid of making enemies! She is sure that in the second competition, other major cities, especially other small cities, will definitely not show mercy to them.

After the result of the first competition was announced, the emperor affirmed the improvement in the strength of each city, said some words of encouragement, and then sent people to arrange living quarters for the monks in each city. He also set up a dinner and invited everyone present to attend.

Pei Yun was assigned to a room alone. She had been fighting in the pagoda for more than a day and was exhausted both physically and mentally. She wanted to have a good rest and then summarize her combat experience in the pagoda.

Honestly, among all the monks she met in the pagoda, almost none of them had spells worse than hers. The further she went, the more sophisticated the spells cast by the opponents she met, and each move was unique. She had only relied on her powerful soul and Xuge to hold on for so long. She planned to take a rest and experience the previous battles and learn from the experience.

But City Lord Zhao insisted on dragging her to the banquet: "Pei Yun...you are one of the most dazzling cultivators among the contestants in this first competition, how can you not go to the banquet!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord City, but Pei Yun is really tired after fighting for a whole day, so let others go."

Going there would be nothing more than entertaining those insignificant strangers, and Pei Yun really felt that the most important thing for Chi Ning City now was to keep a low profile and not make enemies. There was still a competition to come, and the arena competition was the moment to truly demonstrate the strength of each city.

Upon hearing this, City Lord Zhao was silent for a moment, and had to admit that Pei Yun was right. They were indeed too high-profile in the square before. Not to mention the royal family and the big cities, those small cities would probably not be willing for their Chi Ning City to rank first among the small cities.

He also asked Pei Yun, and Pei Yun only said that she had learned the skills of cultivating spiritual consciousness from the elders in Yunshan Sect, so her soul was a little special. She could be said to have taken advantage of this pagoda competition. In the subsequent arena competitions, she estimated that she might not be able to hold out.

City Lord Zhao had already anticipated how miserable their Chi Ning City would be in the second competition, which would form a sharp contrast with the first competition. Although the final result was the combined score of the two competitions, the feeling of reaching the top and then being thrown down hard was not pleasant.

"In that case, you should have a good rest." City Lord Zhao stopped forcing her, "I will tell everyone in Chi Ning City to keep a low profile."

"It's good that the city lord understands." Every city has its own foundation, and these foundations cannot be built up by one person all at once.
