The battle on the stage was about to begin, and the discussion below the stage was getting louder and louder.

"Who do you think will win? Both of them have now advanced to the early stage of the Spiritualization..."

"Needless to say, it's Pei An! Pei An is a genius swordsman of the Jijian Sect. He advanced to the Spiritual Transformation stage just after he turned a hundred. There are only about ten people in Dongcangzhou who can cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation stage at this age every hundred years..."

"Oh! Don't mention age. You probably don't know Luo Rufeng's age. Luo Rufeng is about thirty years younger than Pei An. He is not even a hundred years old yet, but he is already in the early stage of transformation!"

"...If you ask me, I would also bet that Luo Rufeng will win. Think about it, everyone. When he was on the genius list, Luo Rufeng was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, one level lower than Pei An. In the end, he won the challenge. Now that their cultivation levels are the same, Luo Rufeng will definitely win!"

"Hmph! Who the hell is Luo Rufeng? How dare he be compared with my senior brother? My senior brother just got promoted to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he killed an evil cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm head-on..." The disciple of Jijian Sect could not help but retort.

"That's true. Not long ago, I saw Pei An kill a cultivator with a higher cultivation level than him outside Jitian City. It's hard to say how this competition will turn out! I don't know how much Luo Rufeng has improved..."

"Luo Rufeng has rarely appeared in front of the public since he was listed on the Genius List, and he has never taken action in public. In a fight between geniuses, there is no such thing as a sure win. Winning and losing is normal..."

The spectators in the audience were speculating about the two's strength with great interest. The lively atmosphere even startled several elders of the Taoist Temple, who stood not far away and watched the competition between the two.

One of the elders asked the middle-aged man next to him: "Old Li, what do you think? Pei An is also a disciple of your Jijian Sect..."

This Elder Li is also an elder of the Extreme Sword Sect. He looked at Luo Rufeng and Pei An on the stage, pondered for a moment and said:

"Ever since Pei An lost to Luo Rufeng on the Genius Ranking, he has been under great pressure. Since then, he has been practicing in seclusion in the sect, working hard to become stronger. His master was very surprised that he could break through to the Spiritualization Realm at such a young age, but..."

"But what?"

"But Luo Rufeng has also been promoted to the God Transformation stage. His talent is simply extraordinary. Just think about who was the last person to achieve the God Transformation stage at his age..."

“…Reverend Qin Gu!”

"That's right, so I dare not say who will win between the two..."

Not far behind Pei Yun, two familiar figures appeared, and they also discussed Luo Rufeng and Pei Yun——

"How did Luo Rufeng and Xiao Peiyun practice? It seems that the Yunshan Sect is really extraordinary! Senior brother, haven't you been thinking about going home recently? Why don't we go to the Yunshan Sect for a tour..."

When Ling Ziyan saw that Luo Rufeng was still able to remain calm, and that Pei Yun had actually improved his cultivation to the same level as him, he could no longer hold back his expression and stared blankly at Pei Yun in front of him.

"I remember when we first met her, she was participating in the competition among various cities. At that time, she was only in the foundation-building stage. Now, only a few years have passed, and her cultivation has become the same as yours. She is the most outstanding genius in the history of Zhouxia country. My Duanmu family, including myself, are far inferior to her..." Duanmu Xu sighed.

There was still a lot of noise below the ring, but the competition on the ring had already begun.

Pei An had seen Luo Rufeng's strength, so he used his ultimate move right from the start - Silver Moonlight. The sword light poured down like moonlight, covering Luo Rufeng's head. At the same time, the spirit sword in his hand suddenly transformed into seven swords, forming a seven-star sword formation and attacking Luo Rufeng...

Luo Rufeng raised the spirit sword in his hand slowly and unleashed the Samsara Sword Technique that contained the artistic conception of life and death. A black and a white Samsara Sword Formation formed and rushed forward...

After the two attacks collided, Pei An retreated a few steps, but Luo Rufeng did not move at all, and it was obvious that he was able to handle it with ease.

No one expected that Pei An would be at a disadvantage with just this one move!

Pei An gritted his teeth and swung the magic sword in his hand again. Sharp sword energy attacked the opponent, forming a sword energy storm. The protective shield at the edge of the ring was repairing itself again and again after being attacked by sword energy again and again. It can be seen how powerful this sword energy is.

At this time, a huge black dragon emerged from Luo Rufeng's sword. After a roar, it "swooshed" and directly dispersed the attacking sword energy storm. The black dragon did not stop. After breaking through the opponent's attack, it went straight towards Pei An...

Pei An looked solemn and took a step back. The next moment, the sword spirit appeared. He concentrated his mind and swung out a dazzling sword. Countless sword beams were like stars in the sky. The artistic conception of the stars combined with the artistic conception of the moon with the light of the silver moon, met the swooping black dragon...

The violent collision of spiritual power immediately caused a wave of aftermath, and Luo Rufeng and Pei An had to retreat backwards, but neither of them touched the barrier of the arena.

Pei An smiled and said: "Luo Rufeng, I can also show my sword spirit. If you have any other moves, use them together. Let's decide the outcome with one move!"

"...Okay." Luo Rufeng glanced at him indifferently, and the next moment, the sword domain appeared in front of everyone!

"This is... the Sword Realm?! Oh my god! He has actually cultivated the Sword Realm!"

"This is too... This is not even the prototype of the Sword Domain. This is the truly complete Sword Domain..."

"Luo Rufeng has already cultivated the sword realm at the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage. Isn't it normal for sword cultivators to cultivate the sword realm at the Void Refinement Stage?!"

"There's no comparison. Pei An is going to lose to him again..."

As soon as the sword domain appeared, everyone present knew that the outcome of this competition was decided. While feeling sorry for Pei An, they once again admired Luo Rufeng's talent in swordsmanship!

The elder of the Extreme Sword Sect first widened his eyes in disbelief, then sighed and shook his head, and couldn't help but say: "If Luo Rufeng is a disciple of my Extreme Sword Sect, he must be the next Venerable Qin Gu!"

Pei An on the stage looked at Luo Rufeng in shock. Being in the sword domain, his body seemed to be controlled by Luo Rufeng. As long as he fought back, Luo Rufeng could easily kill him...

As expected, when he swung his sword again, a strong pressure was generated in the sword domain and rushed towards him. None of his attacks could escape his sight. He could not use his sword skills as freely as before. Every step was restrained, and he was soon forced to crash into the protective shield at the edge of the ring...

"Luo Rufeng wins." The judging elder announced the result.

There was silence below the ring. To be honest, they had thought that Luo Rufeng would beat Pei An, but they never imagined that compared to the last fight when both sides tried their best, Luo Rufeng won the opponent with his last big move despite being injured.

This time, the competition gave people the feeling that Luo Rufeng didn't put in much effort at all, and he easily defeated Pei An! This shows that the gap in strength between the two has become even greater!

Luo Rufeng walked down the stage in complete silence and came to Pei Yun's side...

After the competition was over, some onlookers were ready to leave, while others wanted to come forward and chat with Luo Rufeng. Ling Ziyan and Duanmu Xu also came forward to greet Pei Yun and others.

Unexpectedly, just after Pei An walked off the stage in a daze, Yin Yanyue walked onto the stage. She looked in the direction of Pei Yun and shouted, "Pei Yun, do you dare to fight me?"

Hearing this, the crowd that had already dispersed was inspired by her words and gathered under the stage again. They followed Yin Yanyue's gaze and looked at Pei Yun.

Pei Yun is much less famous than Luo Rufeng. Even though she was one of the five people who destroyed the demon cave, most people who don't know the key still attributed the credit to Luo Rufeng and Ling Ziyan.

"Who is this Pei Yun? Why does Yin Yanyue want to compete with her?"

"She looks very young! Her bone age should not be too young, and she seems to have a close relationship with Luo Rufeng..."

"...Didn't it happen that five cultivators on Pei An's genius list discovered the devil's cave? She was one of them..."

"Really? I always feel like she's a little familiar, as if I've seen her somewhere before..."

"We didn't catch up with the genius list that year. How did you meet her?"

"...She...I know! She is Pei Yun! She is the genius alchemist in the Tiandan City Alchemy Competition. She also created the 'pseudo-elixir pattern', which improved the quality of low- and medium-level elixirs!" Coincidentally, the person who came to watch the competition was an alchemist from Tiandan City. He pointed at Pei Yun and shouted excitedly.

Ever since Pei Yun created the "pseudo-dan pattern", the alchemists in Tiandan City and Dan Shen Temple have started to popularize the "pseudo-dan pattern".

Although it is very difficult to engrave elixir patterns on mid-level elixirs, Pei Yun is not the only one who can do it. Some alchemists with powerful souls have also succeeded after repeated attempts. Pei Yun's innovation has improved the quality of mid-level elixirs in the entire alchemy world to a certain extent.

Everyone present heard the alchemist's words and cast curious and surprised looks at Pei Yun. Like Yin Yanyue, they were waiting for Pei Yun's response.

Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng looked at each other, nodded slightly at him, and then walked onto the stage step by step in full view of everyone...

"Luo Rufeng, is this person the disciple of Xianlan Sect mentioned by Pei Yun - Yin Yanyue, the descendant of Elder Yin?" Fu Lingchen touched his chin and looked at him.

Luo Rufeng had lost his memory so he naturally didn't know, so he didn't answer him. He just looked at Pei Yun on the stage silently, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"Zi Yan, who do you think will win between the two of them?" Duanmu Xu asked with interest.

"It should be... Yin Yanyue..." Ling Ziyan hesitated a little, he said objectively, "Pei Yun's talent is beyond doubt. She was able to reach the same level as Yin Yanyue and I at such a young age. Her talent is naturally better than both of us, but being young is also her weakness. Being young means that she has less training time, combat experience and training methods. Besides, you and I know that Pei Yun is also an alchemist, so the time she spends on training is even less..."

The two of them were talking quietly in the audience, and the competition on the stage was about to begin...
