While Ji Ruan was practicing breathing, Pei Honghan had already slowly walked onto the arena.

On the other side of the arena, there was a tall and strong disciple. In the previous rounds of competition, he had always performed outstandingly and was invincible.

But even such a person got stage fright when he saw Pei Honghan.

Looking at the young man opposite him, the tall disciple forced a smile:

"Pei, Junior Brother Pei, how about we not fight anymore? I admit defeat and all the rewards belong to you. How about that?"

It’s not that the tall disciple is timid, it’s just that he really has no other choice. After all, Pei Honghan is really too fierce!

As early as the last competition among Foundation Establishment disciples, Pei Honghan had already gained a bad reputation.

At that time, he had just broken through the foundation-building stage, but facing many disciples of the same level, he was not panicked at all.

He was on high spirits from the very beginning to the very end. The young man was alone standing on the arena at the beginning, and he was still the only one standing there at the end.

That day, the news spread throughout the entire inner sect of Biluo Sect.

Pei Honghan is an unprecedented genius in cultivation. Not only is he fast in cultivation, he is also fierce in fighting. If you don't want to die, don't provoke him!

Because of this fierce reputation, even those disciples with higher cultivation levels would show him some courtesy.

It’s not that I’m afraid that I can’t beat him now, but I’m afraid that I’ll be retaliated against after his cultivation level improves!

Now, Pei Honghan has already reached the half-step Jindan stage, and no one can defeat him. Even if the tall disciple is reckless, he dare not fight with him.

That's undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone!

Faced with the tall disciple's suggestion, Pei Honghan did not answer, but slowly shook his head.

The tall disciple's face turned pale when he saw this.

It’s over, it’s over. Can’t I escape from being beaten?

But Pei Honghan slowly raised his hand and pointed to the prize for the competition beside him, his voice gentle and clear:

"The reward is yours. I will not participate in this competition."

Then he looked at the referee elder beside him:

"Elder, could you please ask a few of the Jindan-stage brothers and sisters to practice with me?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and the faces of the disciples were filled with disbelief.

"What? Is Senior Brother Pei crazy? Although he has reached the half-step Golden Core stage, he is still in the Foundation Establishment stage. You know, although the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage are only one level apart, the actual gap is a huge gap!"

"Yes, yes, for Jindan to build the foundation, that is a hundred times easier than an eagle catching a chick!"

"Humph, I think he was just praised too much before, and he got too proud. He really thinks he is the best in the world."

Ji Ruan paid no attention to the negative comments and doubts from the people around him. He just stared at the arena with shining eyes.

Foundation Establishment Stage versus Golden Core Stage?

It's a big win. This kind of cross-level challenge is rarely seen.

If he wins, Ji Ruan will be able to make a summary of the battle and come up with a reasonable way to fight against opponents of higher levels. Even if Pei Honghan loses, Ji Ruan will be able to find problems and learn from his mistakes. It will be a win-win situation.

Therefore, compared with the pessimism of the surrounding disciples, Ji Ruan seemed very unique.

She was sitting in her seat, silently clenching her right fist, like a supporter, and whispered:

"Fight, fight..."

Luo Jingcai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.

This little girl... is really crazy.

"Honghan, have you really thought about it?"

"You have to know that the difference between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage is more than just one level."

On the competition stage, the referee looked at Pei Honghan worriedly and tried to persuade him.

This is the most precious disciple of the Biluo Sect. If something happens, it will be difficult for him to explain to the Sect Master.

Pei Honghan remained calm and nodded firmly:

"Think about it."

"You, ah~ okay."

The referee elder was unable to persuade the tall disciple, and after awarding the reward to the tall disciple, he began to arrange for people to find a few Jindan-stage disciples, and at the same time began to expand the protective barrier on the arena.

After all, the battle in the Jindan stage is not a trivial matter, and today's ordinary barriers cannot provide any protection at all.

"Master Luo, why does this Senior Brother Pei want to compete against someone of a higher level?"

In the gap of preparation, Ji Ruan couldn't help but ask Luo Jingcai,

Although she was looking forward to this competition, it did not affect Ji Ruan's doubts.

She knew that many geniuses had a monster in their hearts who refused to admit defeat and wanted to prove themselves in every possible way.

But Pei Honghan is clearly already half a step away from reaching the Golden Core stage, so why doesn’t he wait until he breaks through before competing?

Or... is he really so arrogant that he thinks he can challenge opponents of higher levels?

"To find a way to break through."

Luo Jingcai did not hide anything. He knew all about Pei Honghan's affairs.

"He had actually already reached the stage of perfect foundation building, but his cultivation had been stagnant since then, so he wanted to take on this challenge to see if he could break through his bottleneck and achieve a breakthrough."

Luo Jingcai also agrees with this method. There will be many bottlenecks on the path of cultivation, and only by constantly looking for ways can these bottlenecks be broken.

Ji Ruan nodded in understanding, and looked at Pei Honghan with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Being willing to challenge oneself for the sake of cultivation is a role model worth learning from.

Soon, several Jindan-stage disciples were invited to the arena.

There was also someone familiar to Ji Ruan inside - Zhu Lianying.

At this time, Qiu Ningning was also following Zhu Lianying, and it was obvious that she was here to watch the show as well.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you must teach Fifth Senior Brother a lesson later. He has always looked down on everyone. Now, he dares to challenge someone higher than himself. He really doesn't know how to live or die."

Holding Zhu Lianying's arm, Qiu Ningning spoke in a coquettish tone, her tone full of dissatisfaction with Pei Honghan.

If she had to say the two people she hated the most since she entered the Biluo Sect, the first would be Ji Ruan, and the second would be Pei Honghan.

When she was accepted as a disciple by the master, all the brothers and sisters were very friendly to her.

Only Pei Honghan seemed to be indifferent to her, which made Qiu Ningning very frustrated. Over time, she began to bear a grudge against him.

"Don't worry. As my senior brother, I will teach him a lesson and let him know that there are some things he can't do just because he wants to."

Zhu Lianying raised a malicious arc at the corner of his mouth. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

If Pei Honghan hadn't been so outstanding and hadn't caught the master's attention, his cultivation would have definitely been higher. Today he was going to dampen his opponent's spirit. It would be best if he would never recover from this and would never be able to practice again.

"Come on, I'll take you to a good seat first, so you can see clearly how Pei Honghan was beaten by me later."

Pinching Qiu Ningning's face, Zhu Lianying smiled obscenely and walked towards the audience seats with Qiu Ningning.

At this time, Ji Ruan was looking at the arena, practicing in secret while thinking about something:

Should I take out the photo stone and record the upcoming games so that I can watch them when I return?

But will this make Senior Brother Pei unhappy?

But there is only one chance. If you miss it, you will never get it again...

"Ji Ruan?!"

Suddenly a sharp voice sounded, interrupting Ji Ruan from his thoughts.

When he looked up, he met Qiu Ningning's ferocious face.
