However, there were not many disciples in the Tiangang Sect who were able to master the Earth-ranked martial technique, "Surging Waves." Earth-ranked martial techniques were more challenging to cultivate compared to Profound-ranked techniques, requiring more time and effort.
Once a practitioner mastered an Earth-ranked martial technique, their combat strength would significantly increase. Gu Jingqing, the Lord of the Xuanwu Hall, wore a pleased smile upon witnessing Yan Yuhuan successfully execute the Surging Waves technique.
Yan Yuhuan, as the second-ranked expert in the Xuanwu Hall, was known to be a cultivation fanatic. His simple and honest nature differed greatly from the reserved and gloomy demeanor of most cultivators, making him more likable.
He was straightforward and dedicated in his cultivation, never resorting to shortcuts. This quality made Yan Yuhuan's cultivation pure and genuine, which was appreciated by Gu Jingqing and Ye Chenyu.
"Lord Qin, it seems that Baili Hongzhuang is in some danger this time," Gu Jingqing said with a smile.
Among the four Hall Lords, he had a closer relationship with Qin Ai. They often joked with each other, and now they conversed without reservation.
Hearing Gu Jingqing's words, Qin Ai fell silent for a moment. To be honest, he couldn't determine the outcome of this competition either. He had never truly understood Baili Hongzhuang's strength before.
Although Baili Hongzhuang had consistently displayed an astonishing performance so far, her opponent was Yan Yuhuan, and the result was truly unpredictable.
The assessment device calculated the results based on the length of time the practitioner persisted inside and their age. Baili Hongzhuang was rated as Heavenly-level, which demonstrated her tremendous potential.
As for her current strength, Qin Ai felt that since Baili Hongzhuang could endure for such a long time in the assessment device, her actual combat power shouldn't be lacking.
"Lord Gu, everything is not yet over. It's better not to judge too early," Qin Ai replied, pondering on how to respond.
Just as Qin Ai was contemplating, Emperor Beichen's gentle laughter resonated first. Hearing Emperor Beichen's words, both Gu Jingqing and Qin Ai couldn't help but be stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.
The Young Sect Master rarely expressed his opinions on the various matches he observed. Now, suddenly stating his support for Baili Hongzhuang, carried significant weight.
The Young Sect Master and Baili Hongzhuang seemed to be a pair. While they were unaware of Baili Hongzhuang's true strength, the Young Sect Master undoubtedly had insight.
With the Young Sect Master's endorsement, it meant that Baili Hongzhuang's strength was not as simple as it appeared. Even with Yan Yuhuan as the opponent, Baili Hongzhuang might not necessarily fail.
"If that's the case, then Baili Hongzhuang is truly extraordinary," Gu Jingqing smiled faintly.
They had always held a positive impression of Baili Hongzhuang, and naturally, they did not wish for her failure.
Upon witnessing Yan Yuhuan executing the Earth-ranked martial technique, Baili Hongzhuang's reaction was swift. Suddenly, a set of hand seals, unfamiliar to everyone, condensed between her palms. The intricate seals emitted a fiery red light, radiant and dazzling.
At the same time, the temperature around Baili Hongzhuang rose rapidly, causing the surrounding people to feel the heat.
In the astonished gazes of the crowd, a sea of fire emerged behind Baili Hongzhuang. The flames enveloped her, transforming her into a fiery enchantress, captivating and alluring.
