The Life and Death Trials had come to an end. In just a month's time, many people had returned alive.
However, there were only a few who had completed the mission.
When Elder Yun gathered all the disciples who had completed the mission and gathered at the square of the Outer Sect, the emotions that had been pressing down on everyone's heart for the past few days finally erupted.
Huze really couldn't come back!
Everyone looked at Yang Fan, who was standing in front of the crowd, and a terrifying thought emerged in their minds. Was it because of Yang Fan that Huze didn't come back?
Some of the disciples with outstanding eyesight looked at Yang Fan's back and said in shock, "He... broke through to the Body Refining Stage Layer Nine!"
Of course, everyone knew who he was.
Hearing this, everyone carefully looked at him. Only then did they realize that Yang Fan's body revealed a faint aura. He was indeed a Body Refining Stage Layer Nine warrior!
"There's no need to guess. The reason
Huze can't come back is because he went to find trouble with Senior Brother Yang." Ding Pang saw everyone's shock. He chuckled. As the first person to know of this news, he had an inexplicable sense of superiority.
At this moment, looking at everyone's shock, his body straightened up quite a bit.
"Haha, Senior Brother Yang is an unparalleled genius. A puny little Huze dares to cause trouble for Senior Brother Yang. He's courting death!"
Very quickly, someone reacted and flattered Yang Fan.
The others looked at this guy who was afraid of flattering and looked at him with disdain, because this guy was on Huze's side at the beginning. He had even mocked Yang Fan many times. However, at this moment, no one made any sarcastic remarks, because mocking this guy was the same as mocking Yang
Fan.
The current Yang Fan was an existence that they couldn't afford to offend.
However, even more people agreed with him.
"That's right. Senior Brother Yang has been silent for three years and has soared to the top. He relies on his perseverance and hard work."
'I have long seen that Senior Brother Yang is a genius who has advanced to the late stage!"
"I still need you to tell me. I have always known that the person I admire the most in Outer Sect is Senior Brother Yang..."
The disciples who had completed the mission of Life and Death Trials felt both envy and jealousy when they heard these words.
In the past, Yang Fan, who they didn't put in their eyes, had now broken through to the Body Refining Stage Layer Nine. In the path of martial arts, he had completely walked in front of them.
Lin Qingtong wasn't far from Yang Fan. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I really underestimated you."
She was similarly shocked when Yang Fan broke through to the Body Refining Stage
Layer Nine so quickly. As for whether Huze didn't come back because of Yang
Fan, she wasn't sure.
However, it must have something to do with Yang Fan.
After all, even if Yang Fan had become a Body Refining Stage Layer Nine warrior, there was still a big gap between him and
Huze.
"Haha, didn't I say that I'm trying my best to accumulate my strength and defeat you?" Yang Fan said with a smile,
"However, I have to shorten the time needed to accumulate my strength as much as possible, right?"
In the past, Lin Qingtong thought that Yang Fan was joking, but now when he heard this sentence, he did not think so. Perhaps there was still some gap between the current Yang Fan and her.
But it couldn't be denied that Yang Fan's improvement speed was very fast, so fast that even she was shocked. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before he caught up to her, or even surpassed her.
Further away, Yue Xiao was also staring at Yang Fan, his eyes sparkling.
After going through many life and death battles, looking at Yang Fan now gave him a sense of danger from the bottom of his heart.
He thought that Yang Fan would definitely die in Huze's hands, but now that Yang Fan had returned, Huze would stay outside forever. "Humph! What's so great about it? Even if senior disciple Huze is really dead, I don't know what role Yang Fan played in this."
"You're right. What if he plays some tricks? If they fight face to face, he might just be a piece of trash."
The other Body Refining Stage Layer Nine
Outer Sect disciples glanced at Yang Fan and mocked him.
They were jealous of Yang Fan for attracting so much attention. This kind of glory was what they pursued.
Young people liked to be the center of attention, and they liked to be the center of attention!
These words only made the corners of Yang Fan's mouth twitch. Now, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with these sarcastic fellows. In any case, he had plenty of time in the future.
If they were to fight face to face, they would be trash!
In Yang Fan's eyes, these fellows were trash. As long as he was willing, he would crush them all!
"Silence!"
At this moment, Elder Yun, who was standing at the front of the crowd, spoke.
It wasn't a very loud sound, but under the True Qi, it was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.
The originally noisy scene instantly quieted down.
Elder Yun looked at the crowd and waited for no one to speak before continuing,
"Now, I will announce two things."
"First, all the disciples of the Outer Sect who have passed the Life and Death Trials have entered the inner circle!"
"Second, the inner circle competition will begin in two days!"
Everyone knew about these two things.
After all, the purpose of the Life and Death Trials was to select the inner circle disciples. The so-called inner circle competition was actually a competition between the new disciples who had entered the inner circle. The number of people who had passed the competition this time had increased by a lot compared to before. Nearly one-fifth of them had passed the competition, which meant that there were more than 200 of them.
These 200 plus new inner sect disciples were all at least at the seventh level of Refinement.
However, most of them were at the seventh level of Refinement. There were only 40 to 50 people at the eighth level of Refinement, and there were only a dozen or so Body Refining Stage Layer Nine disciples.
However, to be able to become a Body Refining Stage Layer Nine at the age of sixteen or seventeen, even in the entire Scarlet Flame Prefecture, it could be called not bad.
And in the Qianyuan Sect, they were even considered geniuses in everyone's eyes.
Especially Lin Qingtong and Yue Xiao, they were the geniuses amongst geniuses. The other disciples of the Outer Sect who were at the Body Refining Stage Layer Nine were no match for them.
They were of the same age and cultivation base, but their combat strength was stronger. This was a genius in the eyes of others!
"Alright, it's these two matters. Get ready through the disciples of Life and Death Trials." After saying that, Elder Yun left first.
As soon as Elder Yun left, Yue Xiao arrived in front of Lin Qingtong and said in a forceful tone, "The first place in this year's competition will definitely be mine!"
"You can't." Lin Qingtong's reply was very simple and calm.
Yue Xiao smiled and said, "That may not be the case."
Lin Qingtong did not continue to speak, but his calm expression showed her confidence.
Since Yue Xiao didn't want to say more, Yue Xiao didn't say anything. He laughed and left the square of Outer Sect.
Evervone was looking forward to it, but also sighed.
The one who sighed was naturally Huze's absence this time. The original struggle for supremacy between the three sides had turned into a battle between two
heroes.
Lin Qingtong suddenly looked at Yang Fan and smiled gently. He asked, "Didn't you say that you would defeat me and regain your face after accumulating enough strength?"
"I wonder if you have accumulated enough strength in this year's inner sect competition?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Of course I have. I lost to Sister Linshi 101 times.
From this 102nd time onwards, it will be boring if I don't flip it."
When the people who had not left heard this, they scoffed.
Bragging, blowing with all his might!
If they believed Yang Fan's words, they might as well believe that dogs didn't eat sh * t.
How could Yang Fan say something like defeating Lin Qingtong in the inner sect competition?
It was a complete joke!
Before Lin Qingtong could speak, a Body Refining Stage Layer Nine youth in green stood out and said disdainfully, "Sister Linshi, this kind of guy just doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He thinks that he has some strength and is invincible."
"In this year's inner sect competition, there is no need for Sister Linshi to take action. I will deal with this kid!"
After he finished speaking, the youth in green raised his head and looked down at Yang Fan with a condescending gaze.
The other Body Refining Stage Layer Nine disciples laughed as well, "Tan Minghong, don't scare Yang Fan. Leave this small matter to us."
The young man in green, who was also known as Tan Minghong, curled his lips and said, "Then we'll see who this brat dares to challenge." "I think he won't dare to challenge anvone." Everyone laughed loudly.
Facing the contemptuous and provocative gazes, Yang Fan sneered and didn't want to waste his breath.
Everything would wait until the inner sect competition, and then use strength to speak.
