After several hours had passed, only one person remained on the Dueling Platform: Aotian and a tattered young man.
This young man was clearly the dark horse of this year's Dragon-Tiger Contest. To be able to stand out among hundreds of Inner Academy Students, he must possess some real skills.
Previously, Aotian had carefully observed this young man and discovered that he was actually a martial artist in the early stage of the Human Spirit Realm. This revelation genuinely surprised Aotian.
After all, the gap between the Innate Realm and the Human Spirit Realm is like heaven and earth; those who step into the Human Spirit Realm are undoubtedly gifted.
Moreover, this young man was quite young. To have entered the Human Spirit Realm at such a young age indicated immense potential.
If this young man had not encountered Aotian but instead faced someone ranked lower in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, becoming a Challenger would have been a certainty. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side, as he faced the formidable Aotian.
After scrutinizing the young man for a while, Aotian gently asked, "May I know your name? It truly surprises me that you have become a Spirit Realm Martial Artist at such a young age."
The young man took a breath and replied, "Senior Aotian has always been an example for us to strive towards. I am Lin Chengxin, and I humbly seek your guidance!"
Aotian was slightly taken aback but then smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to claim to teach you. I wonder if Chengxin has any interest in joining my Starry Radiance Society?"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, there was a noticeable silence from the audience below, with most people looking at Lin Chengxin with envy.
The Starry Radiance Society had now become one of the giants within Xuantian Academy. In terms of overall strength, no faction in the academy dared to challenge its prowess.
Aotian, Snow Qincheng, and Niu Geng were all martial artists with Human Spirit Realm strength. Just imagine, which faction in the academy could have three Human Spirit Realm martial artists as their backbone?
It could be said that the Starry Radiance Society was already the most powerful faction in the academy and also had the greatest potential. Even a fool could see how terrifying the Starry Radiance Society was. Perhaps in the future, it could monopolize all the students in the academy.
Now, the leader of the Starry Radiance Society unexpectedly extended an olive branch to Lin Chengxin, which naturally stirred envy and admiration among others.
Of course, they also understood that Lin Chengxin was no weakling himself. Joining the Starry Radiance Society would not tarnish its reputation; in fact, it might even elevate the society's prestige within the academy.
Lin Chengxin was momentarily taken aback by Aotian's words. He truly did not expect Aotian to publicly offer him an invitation. However, joining the Starry Radiance Society seemed to pose no disadvantage for him.
Lin Chengxin's eyes flickered for a moment before he cupped his hands and said, "As long as Senior Aotian can defeat me, I would have no objections to joining the Starry Radiance Society!"
Aotian's eyes flashed with joy, and then he laughed heartily, saying, "Great! Then please be careful, Junior Chengxin!"
Lin Chengxin's words caused quite a stir within the academy. With Lin Chengxin joining the Starry Radiance Society, it truly became a formidable force. Looking across the entire academy, all factions would likely have to tread carefully.
Members of the Ink Society and Sky Garment Gang, who had grievances with Aotian, wore grim expressions. Some peripheral members were even contemplating whether they should defect from the Ink Society or Sky Garment Gang to join the Starry Radiance Society instead.
The higher-ups of both the Ink Society and Sky Garment Gang could only hope that Aotian would be defeated by Lin Chengxin; otherwise, the Starry Radiance Society would truly ride over them.
"Junior Chengxin, take this move!" Aotian suddenly roared. Immediately after, he struck out with both palms in rapid succession, unleashing countless palm shadows that enveloped Lin Chengxin in an instant.
The sound of palm shadows tearing through the air was exceptionally piercing, causing Lin Chengxin's hair to stand on end.
However, Lin Chengxin was a warrior of the Human Spirit Realm after all, so he quickly retaliated.
He threw a powerful punch that instantly shattered the palm shadows surrounding him.
As for the other palm shadows, they whizzed past him and crashed into the ground of the Dueling Platform, leaving deep impressions behind.
Everyone gasped in shock. The Dueling Platform of Xuantian Academy was made of solid white stone. However, after Aotian struck with his palm, countless handprints were left behind, which naturally filled everyone with astonishment.
Lin Chengxin glanced back and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He knew that Aotian had held back with this strike, as he had dispersed his power. As a result, the force that struck him was significantly weaker.
If Aotian had concentrated his power, Lin Chengxin feared he would not have been able to handle it so easily.
Seeing that his attack did not inflict any substantial harm on Lin Chengxin, Aotian was not angry. Instead, he kicked off the ground and shot toward Lin Chengxin.
Aotian's physical strength far exceeded that of other martial artists at the same level, making close combat his specialty.
As Aotian charged toward him, Lin Chengxin did not retreat. Instead, he flew toward Aotian and threw a powerful punch.
Aotian noticed this and began to gather his strength in his right fist. Then, he swung his fist toward Lin Chengxin's punch with great force.
"Boom!"
The two fists collided, causing Lin Chengxin's body to shake violently, disbelief evident in his eyes.
Immediately after, Lin Chengxin staggered back several steps, his face paling visibly.
Looking at Aotian's calm smile, Lin Chengxin felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness rise within him.
He clearly sensed that during their earlier clash, Aotian had only used his physical strength without any Mystical Energy at all.
To be evenly matched with just physical strength was already alarming; if Aotian had used Mystical Energy, defeat would have come in an instant!
Just as Lin Chengxin's thoughts raced, Aotian suddenly stepped forward. Instinctively, Lin Chengxin shouted:
"I concede!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian immediately retracted his foot and looked at Lin Chengxin with interest.
Lin Chengxin let out a long sigh and said:
"Boss!"
This call of "Boss" was made by Lin Chengxin willingly. He was very clear about how terrifying his boss's strength was. In Lin Chengxin's eyes, the position of champion in this competition was completely within his boss's grasp.
Upon hearing Lin Chengxin call him "Boss," Aotian immediately showed a delighted expression and said:
"Haha, great! Great! Great! Welcome, Chengxin junior, to join my Starry Radiance Society. From now on, my Starry Radiance Society will share honor and disgrace with Chengxin junior!"
Hearing Aotian's words, Lin Chengxin felt a warmth in his heart and said:
"Thank you, Boss! Just call me Chengxin!"
Aotian nodded, feeling overjoyed. With Lin Chengxin joining the Starry Radiance Society, their strength would surely rise to a new level.
At this moment, the crowd below erupted in excitement...
