In the upcoming matches, Naijia defeated Huangfu Jiayun, and Sima Xiaosa defeated Yin Fu.
Next, Naijia faced Wang Renwei, with Wang Renwei winning. Sima Xiaosa went up against Huangfu Jiayin, and Huangfu Jiayin emerged victorious. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had good luck and received a bye after the draw. Thus, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Wang Renwei, and Huangfu Jiayin earned the right to challenge for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
Qilin Academy has five grades, with three students in each grade. Excluding the first grade, a total of twelve students qualified to challenge for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
Since watching the match between Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Helian Jiaolan, Guan Yue has been contemplating how to use spirit transfer. He found this method very useful. While he was exploring it further, Gao Yuxin spoke up: "Brother Guan, this problem is very simple; let me help you. You can use your mind to comprehend it while I have Peak Fire Sprite guide you."
Gao Yuxin immediately had Peak Fire Sprite assist Guan Yue by moving his consciousness throughout his body while occasionally having Guan Yue project Vital Energy Fluctuation from a fixed position. In just one hour, Guan Yue learned the basic method of spirit transfer.
"Brother Guan, how is it? Am I impressive? Let me tell you, if you have questions, just ask me; after all, I am from High Collection," Gao Yuxin said with a voice full of pride and satisfaction.
"Hehe," Guan Yue laughed happily. He was genuinely thrilled. With this technique, practicing Delicate Sword Technique would become much more effective and expand its potential infinitely, catching opponents off guard. The basic moves of Delicate Sword Technique include one attack, one defense, one upward strike, one downward strike, one left slash, one right slash, one thrust forward, one sudden lunge, one flick up, one curve down, one dig in, and one stab. It may seem simple, but it is the crystallization of Elder Wang's Essence Blood over hundreds of years; every move is filled with variations that become endless when used consecutively.
Now that Guan Yue has mastered Essence transfer, he can further refine the Delicate Sword Technique and enhance its effectiveness. This is why Guan Yue was extremely happy.
Of course, Guan Yue was already very skilled in Elder Wang's Dragon Barbarian Technique; he just couldn't unleash its full power yet.
Next comes the competition for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. The ninety-eight disciples from the Inner Courtyard will join these twelve challengers from grades two to five in the battle for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
This time, Lu Xiao, Lu Tao, Du Diwei, He Bi, Jiang Tianlan, Xiahou Xiong, Naiqian, Guan Yue, Ouyang Shaohua, and others will all participate in the competition. Ouyang Shaohua said to Guan Yue: "Junior Brother, you must take first place this time. If I encounter you as an opponent, I will concede and let you compete."
"Wrong! If I meet you, I will concede. I guarantee you will be first," Guan Yue replied with a smile.
"No, I'm worried I won't be able to defeat Lu Xiao. You seem more confident."
"As long as you don't hesitate, you can win against them. You need to believe in yourself."
"No, I want you to win. Your victory makes me happier than my own!" Ouyang Shaohua said, and Guan Yue simply nodded. Naiqian laughed from the side, "Why don't you both aim for first and second place? I'll take third, and everyone gets a reward."
Ouyang Shaohua suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sister Nana, I really feel that Guan Yue's Combat Power is formidable. He has a good chance of taking first place." Recently, Guan Yue had been practicing with her frequently, and both of them had improved significantly. During their battles, Ouyang Shaohua realized that even though she was at the Peak of the Human Realm, she still felt considerably weaker compared to Guan Yue's High-Quality state. Moreover, she knew that Guan Yue hadn't been using his full strength against her.
Naiqian chuckled, "Of course! If this little monster doesn't take first place, it would be a shame for him."
Guan Yue could only shake his head and smile wryly. He found himself at a loss for words when facing the girls, and he couldn't even figure out why.
Tai Shi Xiao Xiao hosted the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking challenge. The current rankings for the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking are:
First place: Lu Xiao.
Second place: Guan Yue.
Third place: Lu Tao.
Third place: Du Diwei.
Fifth place: He Bi.
Sixth place: Jiang Tianlan.
Xiahou Xiong and Naiqian were still unknown on the leaderboard. However, they hoped to make their mark on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking through this competition. It would be a lifelong honor for them!
The disciples from the Inner Courtyard competed alongside the twelve challengers who emerged from various grades. Those who made it into the top twenty would gain the right to challenge anyone on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. Thus, the top ten students of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking sat on the podium, ready to accept challenges from the victors.
The competition was intense, and soon Ouyang Shaohua, Naiqian, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Wang Renwei, and Huangfu Jiayin all secured their final challenge rights. Guan Yue found it strange that Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, Wang Renwei, and Huangfu Jiayin, whose strengths were not to be underestimated, managed to defeat numerous Inner Courtyard disciples to earn their final challenge rights.
Another thing that pleased Guan Yue was that Lei Dazhuang and Marco had thoroughly beaten Zhang Hai and Yang Zun in the grade assessment competition, which felt very satisfying. Those two were nothing but troublemakers who always went against him. They deserved a good beating!
Strangely enough, no students came forward to challenge Guan Yue. Even Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian and Wang Renwei did not challenge him. Instead, they challenged the ninth and eighth-ranked students respectively but both failed.
Ouyang Shaohua challenged Jiang Tianlan. To everyone's surprise, Jiang Tianlan quickly conceded after just a few exchanges. Ouyang Shaohua then ranked sixth on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. Guan Yue observed the match closely; every move Ouyang Shaohua made was graceful and exuded an innate regal aura. He realized that Ouyang Shaohua was indeed a formidable opponent, far superior to Jiang Tianlan.
Next, Ouyang Shaohua bypassed He Bi and Du Diwei to challenge Lu Tao. She aimed to bring glory to Guan Yue.
Upon hearing that Guan Yue was challenging him, Lu Tao sneered. Ouyang Shaohua was just a girl who entered the Inner Courtyard thanks to Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's favor; how could she dare to challenge him? He thought she didn't know her place. However, Lu Xiaoshan reminded his brother: "Be careful, Tao. This Ouyang Shaohua is not to be underestimated; her physique is quite extraordinary."
Lu Tao nodded and stepped onto the Arena, exchanging nods with Ouyang Shaohua before starting their battle.
During the fight, Ouyang Shaohua adopted a defensive stance while Lu Tao kept attacking. He intended to finish the match quickly, but Ouyang Shaohua's defense was impenetrable; Lu Tao couldn't break through at all. Guan Yue observed from the side and realized that even he couldn't penetrate Ouyang Shaohua's defenses. Her guard was flawless—no blind spots or weaknesses. Unless faced with a powerful enemy capable of overwhelming her defense, there was no way to deal with her. She employed only one technique: Absolute Stillness. Originally a mage's skill used when facing two opponents—one attacking while the other used Absolute Stillness against the other—Ouyang Shaohua adapted this technique into a Mind Master's defense, creating an absolute defense for Mind Masters. With 360 degrees of coverage, as long as your Mental Strength was weaker than hers, you couldn't attack her.
Seeing how things were unfolding left Lu Tao somewhat bewildered. He didn't know how to respond anymore. After a flurry of attacks that yielded no results, Lu Tao ceased his assault and switched to defense himself. It dawned on him that he had underestimated Ouyang Shaohua; she truly wasn't weak at all. His previous barrage of attacks had no effect whatsoever; she could even hold her own against his brother. He realized he wasn't her match at all and hoped merely to lose gracefully.
Noticing that Lu Tao had stopped attacking, Ouyang Shaohua swung her arms and began her counterattack. Guan Yue understood that Ouyang Shaohua wanted to test out the Mental Cage attack method he had just taught her. This technique took her a long time to learn; she told Guan Yue it was highly effective in battle with great potential for improvement. She suggested that if she tightened the space of the Mental Cage after forming it, she could quickly overwhelm her opponent and deliver a devastating blow.
Despite their lengthy discussions about it, they had never tested it on a person before; now Ouyang Shaohua was about to use her improved Mental Cage against Lu Tao for the first time.
Ouyang Shaohua smiled lightly, raising her arms to the front and spreading her hands. She surprisingly employed the most basic attack method of Mind Master: a frontal drive!
This was a method that greatly underestimated her opponent, yet Ouyang Shaohua executed it with an exquisite beauty, as if she were driving away Lu Tao. At the moment Ouyang Shaohua opened her arms, Lu Tao felt an overwhelming Mental Strength pressing down on him like a vice. It was as if a tightening spell had been cast, causing severe pressure pain in his brain that intensified more and more until he found it difficult to stand, having to crouch down and shout, "I concede, I concede."
Ouyang Shaohua looked up at Guan Yue with a triumphant smile, her youthful and pure face filled with pride. Guan Yue gave her a thumbs up, and Ouyang Shaohua walked down from the Arena, her smile radiant.
Guan Yue certainly understood the improved power of the Mental Cage, but it could only target one opponent at a time, which was quite frustrating for her.
Ouyang Shaohua's victory was a significant shock to Lu Tao. Although he held Ouyang Shaohua in high regard, he did not expect her to defeat Lu Tao so easily. After all, Lu Tao was at the Peak of the Human Realm with very solid foundational skills. Even he would find it difficult to defeat him in such a short time.
Ouyang Shaohua's Combat Power was astonishing!
The spectators looked at Ouyang Shaohua with newfound respect; defeating Lu Tao placed her third in the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. The subsequent challengers did not make it into the top seven.
Huangfu Jiayin defeated the student ranked eighth, achieving an impressive eighth place. It was then that people realized Huangfu Jiayin also possessed High-Quality cultivation; she truly was rarely seen and only occasionally revealed her brilliance.
Unexpectedly, five individuals defeated the student ranked ninth, placing him in ninth position. Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian defeated the student ranked tenth, securing tenth place without challenging Wang Renwei or Huangfu Jiayin. This led to much speculation among the crowd.
In fact, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had ulterior motives; he wanted to reserve his Combat Power for dealing with Guan Yue!
After several challenges, the rankings of the Kirin Academy Dragon and Phoenix Rankings were updated: Lu Xiao, Guan Yue, Ouyang Shaohua, Lu Tao, Du Diwei, He Bi, Jiang Tianlan, Huangfu Jiayin, Wang Renwei, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian.
