The system is the proficiency panel

"It's very real. The feedback from my vision, smell, touch, and hearing are all real. I don't know how it tastes."

As he said this, Lin Ji picked up the bone cup on the table. It was filled with thick blood that gave off a disgusting smell. Lin Ji drank it in one gulp, and his tongue and stomach felt nauseous and he wanted to vomit.

"All five senses are controlled. Only from the perspective of time and space can we know that matter has not changed. The surroundings are still the same as before. Tea is still tea."

Thinking of this, Lin Ji began to try to burst out spiritual power throughout his body to see if he could get rid of this state. He failed. There was still no change around him. The skeleton that Hou Guan had transformed into looked at Lin Ji quietly.

"Although Hou Guan didn't use his full strength, the gap in cultivation is still too big. Even if he held back, I can't break it now. Let's try to purify it."

A sense of clarity surged into his heart, and his vision became clearer. Lin Ji quickly checked his surroundings to see if there were any changes. Ying Zi and Zhang Qingxuan had already started fighting on the ring. In Lin Ji's eyes, they had turned into two demons fighting each other under the blood moon.

"It still doesn't work. The gap in cultivation is too big. Once I fully comprehend purification, maybe I can give it a try."

Hou Guan saw that the spiritual power in Lin Ji's body had calmed down, and knew that the other party had given up, so he dispersed the illusion. If Lin Ji had not tried to break the illusion before, looking at his calm expression, Hou Guan would have thought that the Mirror Flower and Water Moon he cast was wrong, and why it had no effect on him at all.

"Michiko is in a good mood!"

"You're too kind, let's just watch the competition seriously."

Hearing Hou Guan's praise, Lin Ji naturally would not say that it was because of the time and space field. Even if the world changed drastically, as long as the matter did not change, it could be identified whether it was false, so he was so calm.

During the time when Lin Ji was trapped in the illusion, Ying Zi was in a tough battle. She was not very old, only 25, and had just broken through to the state of mind and established her foundation not long ago. Her opponent was much stronger than her, having broken through for more than 10 years and had rich combat experience. From the reactions of the supporters at the venue, it could be seen that Zhang Qingxuan had a great chance of winning.

Their fighting styles were different from Li Yuan and the others. They preferred close-range combat. An image of a black turtle appeared on Zhang Qingxuan's body. He ignored Ying Zi's sword and showed no mercy. He found an opportunity and punched her in the head.

Crack! Ying Zi's head shattered like a watermelon, and blood splattered on Zhang Qingxuan's black tortoise phantom. Then her body and blood suddenly exploded. The power of the explosion was very concentrated under Ying Zi's control, and it was completely poured on Zhang Qingxuan. Although it still did not hurt Zhang Qingxuan, it made the phantom transparent, as if it would disappear at any time.

Swoosh! Ying Zi attacked from behind Zhang Qingxuan holding a long sword. The move was so powerful that even though Ying Zi had intentionally controlled it, the moment she drew her sword, the entire lower-grade magic weapon-level arena was still split in half.

"This is my last shot. If it still doesn't work, just admit defeat."

Although Zhang Qingxuan was aware of the attack from behind, it was too late to dodge and he could only take it. He whispered to Ying Zi with his back to him.

"Xuanwu."

As Zhang Qingxuan finished his words, a snake-shaped shadow quickly emerged from his body and wrapped around the black turtle. The two combined into one and looked like the legendary Xuanwu. Its momentum also increased significantly, and the originally transparent shadow began to solidify.

Boom! A loud noise came from the collision between the tip of the sword and the black tortoise. Some cracks appeared on the shell behind the black tortoise, but it was not a big deal. Ying Zi flew backwards, and the magic sword in her hand turned into powder, leaving only the hilt.

Zhang Qingxuan, who was unharmed, took a deep breath to relieve the sudden consumption of nearly half of his spiritual power, then turned to look at Ying Zi who had stood up again. Her right hand holding the sword was completely twisted, but it was visibly beginning to recover.

Ying Zi shook her head helplessly as she looked at Zhang Qingxuan and the phantom covering his entire body who were slowly approaching her. She had tried her best, but the Xuanwu phantom was too strong and she had no chance of winning. Her full-strength attack just now only left a small crack.

"I surrender!"

As expected, Ying Zi admitted defeat. The disciples around her gave her applause to encourage her. Being able to force out the Xuanwu that Zhang Qingxuan had never used before was already very impressive at this age. Many people looked at Lin Ji on the stage at this time, wondering how a 17-year-old who had reached the second level of the realm of consciousness could cultivate his foundation.

"The winner is Zhang Qingxuan. The two disciples who entered the next round will take a rest. The competition will continue after one stick of incense to determine the first place."

After Hou Guan announced the result, it was a pity that Ying Zi lost. She was considered the most talented disciple of the Blood Demon Sect in the past hundred years, but there was nothing she could do since she was not as skilled as others.

Zhang Qingxuan and Ying Zi returned to their seats and sat down. Li Yuan was thinking in annoyance about how to deal with Zhang Qingxuan, while Jiang Wei was looking at him with a gloating look.

"Li Yuan, I think you should admit defeat. Even if Zhang Qingxuan stands there and lets you hit him, you won't be able to break the Xuanwu phantom even if you beat him until your spiritual power is exhausted!"

Li Yuan ignored Jiang Wei's words. He also knew that his chances of winning were slim. He had heard about Zhang Qingxuan's water power before: the failure of cultivating the Black Tortoise. Now it seemed that Zhang Qingxuan had found another way and succeeded in cultivating it by using the Black Tortoise and the snake form. Maybe it was not as good as the real Black Tortoise, but it also had some charm. A cultivator like Li Yuan, who had few means of attack, could not break this kind of defense at all.

"There is no suspense. If Li Yuan had used all his strength before, Zhang Qingxuan would have won."

After figuring out who the winner would be, Lin Ji's interest in the game dropped significantly. He picked up the tea that Luo Youran had filled up beside him, took a sip, and looked at the waiting audience.

"Master Hou, have you found anything in Heng Country?"

"Yes, I discovered the strange spaceship hidden by Hengguo a long time ago, but I didn't touch it. Daozi, this is what you want to ask."

Hou Guan also took a sip of tea and replied. Luo Youran, who was standing behind Lin Ji, felt helpless when she heard this. She had vowed to Lin Ji that the spaceship would be difficult to be discovered. Now that she understood the true strength of Jindan Zhenren, she realized how ridiculous she was back then. Fortunately, she was lucky to meet Lin Ji.

"Yes, I wonder if you can take me to see it?"

"Daozi, I wonder how you plan to arrange the Blood Demon Sect's disciples in the future?"

Hou Guan did not answer Lin Ji's question, but asked about the Blood Demon Sect. It seemed that he wanted to use this spaceship to negotiate good terms.

"Disperse the Blood Demon Sect disciples and arrange them in various cities. They will serve like the cultivators in the Xuantian Empire now. They will receive spiritual stones as their monthly salary. For more details, please ask City Lord Luo when you have time."

Lin Ji was not going to give in on this matter because of the spaceship and give the Blood Demon Sect special treatment. His firm words made Hou Guan feel a little unhappy.

"This guy is a tough guy, he doesn't get any special treatment, I can't threaten him, I can't beat him, he's a nuisance."

Thinking of this, Hou Guan continued to speak.

"Then what are you going to do with me and my junior sister?"
