Following the discussion, the elders of the Yun Clan requested Li Tian to choose his eleven disciples who would participate in the upcoming challenge. This way, it would be clear who would be taking part, as the elders had mentioned. Wo Li Yi then stated that her disciple, Wun Nier, would be participating and requested Li Tian to personally select the remaining ten disciples. Quan Ning, as the first disciple of the sect, requested Li Tian that she would like to lead in the challenge and Li Tian approved it. The next one is Tian Bao, followed by Zu Sao. and the fourth and fifth in apprentice realm. And remaining in same realm we have Mao Min and Luc Li as the fourth and fifth individuals, respectively. The remaining five individuals are Jin Tao, Lao Zuan, Bing Waon, Ren Wei, and Quyang Wei. These five individuals have been selected in the soul refinement realm after the selected student elders of the Yun clan observed their potential for a while. Recognizing their promising abilities, we have requested the dragon unit and the wolf guard unit to send members to the mid-level apprentice level and the soul refinement level, respectively.
Upon receiving the summon order, a few members from each unit of the city guards were gathered and instructed to go to Yun mansion, where a new challenger had arrived seeking approval to enter the forbidden land. The guards were surprised by the challenger's sect, wondering if they were from an outer hall. In response to their questions, their leader revealed that Yun's head had sent a message instructing them to fight with all their strength to test the potential of the sect's disciples. It was a direct order, so they headed towards the mansion.
When the city guards arrived, they and the sect member were escorted to the martial art arena outside Yun mansion. Upon hearing about the challenge, several other clan heads also arrived, making the arena quite crowded. The Yun elder joined the others and took a seat. Li Tian and Wo Li Yi sat with them, while the sect disciples gathered at the back, engaged in discussion. Yun head requested Li Tian to call the first challenger, and he chose Quan Ning. Quan Ning made her way to the arena, and the elder of the Yun clan instructed her to select her opponent from the apprentice-level guards. As Quan Ning scanned the line of guards, she chose one, leaving the elder slightly shocked as she had selected the strongest guard among them.
After the other guards departed from the arena, the chosen guard, Zin Tu from the esteemed Zin clan and a member of the wolf regiment of the city guard, introduced himself. He proudly mentioned that he had achieved the fifth level in the apprentice realm. Quan Ning, on the other hand, introduced herself to the crowd and audience as the first disciple of Li Tian and a member of the GMS sect. She humbly stated that she was currently at the first level of the apprentice realm. Upon hearing this, others remarked that she had chosen a higher-level opponent, surpassing her own level by four small levels. They admired her courage in making this decision. As both opponents exchanged greetings, the Yun Head requested a member of the pill clan to serve as the referee. This decision was made to ensure fairness, as the pill clan had no connections with both opponents. The arrangement was accepted by all parties involved.
During the intense battle between Quan Ning and Zin Tu, Zin Tu initiated the fight by launching a precise slash attack with his sword. However, Quan Ning skillfully evaded the attack using a step technique. In response, she unleashed an elemental sword cut that transformed into an icy blade, swiftly heading towards Zin Tu. Surprised by this ice attack, Zin Tu quickly employed his defensive technique, managing to evade the strike by taking a few steps back. Undeterred, he launched another sword attack using the wolf regiment technique. Quan Ning, on the other hand, countered his attack with a sword technique from her sect. The intensity of their battle caught the attention of the other clan heads, as well as the Yun clan.
Quan Ning then unleashed a high-grade ice sword technique, aiming it directly at Zin Tu. The defensive barrier was unable to withstand the power of this advanced technique, resulting in a direct hit on Zin Tu. As he staggered back from the impact, Quan Ning seized the opportunity and employed a special ice sword technique, encasing her opponent in ice. Caught off guard, Zin Tu only became aware of the attack as it reached him, causing him to sustain severe injuries and lose consciousness upon hitting the ground.
Witnessing this fierce fight, the crowd erupted in cheers for Quan Ning. The guards, realizing the strength of this young girl, pondered what the elder had ordered, realizing that if others were as formidable as her, they would have to fight with all their might.
