Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"I've met Professor Zhou."

As soon as Zhou Ling entered the hall, several of Jin Sheng's disciples stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhou Ling.

"You're welcome, please sit down."

Zhou Ling sat down under the palace dean and said with a smile.

"Tomorrow our opponent is none other than that guy from the Jiutian Sword Academy of Yuhe Fairy City, Zhao Quan!"

Watching Zhou Ling take his seat, Dean Gong spoke to him.

Weng Lanyue also gave him a cup of spiritual tea.

After today's battle, she realized that her master was not only good at refining weapons, but was also so powerful in combat.

Such a majestic appearance in the competition arena made her a little tempted. Would she like to learn some swordsmanship from her master in the future?

"We really met him!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling also had a look of surprise on his face.

Today, half of the Taoist temples were eliminated in the first round.

Anyone who can compete in the second round today must be very strong.

If he hadn't used the five spiritual flames and had the talent to absorb the spiritual flames from the Fire Pill Domain, he wouldn't have been able to defeat He Jing so easily.

Although He Jing was at the pinnacle of the Golden Core and had strong strength in the Dan Realm, he was almost completely suppressed by the Spiritual Flame, so he did not exert the power of the Dan Realm at all.

"Although the overall strength of the five disciples in Yuhe Immortal City is stronger than ours, three are in the late stage of foundation building and two are in the middle stage."

"But in today's battle, they obviously spent a lot of money, so in tomorrow's battle, we have a chance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace director clicked on the photo jade.

A scene of competition emerged.

As for the two parties in the competition, one is the Jiutian Sword Academy of Yuhe Immortal City.

The opponent is Xuanyuan Taoist Academy in the fourth-grade Xuanyu Immortal City.

The disciples of the Jiutian Sword Academy in Yuhe Immortal City also formed a sword formation to fight against the enemy.

However, to Zhou Ling's surprise, the disciples of Xuanyu Immortal City used runes to fight against the enemy.

They are all long-range attack runes, such as flying sword runes, fire and thunder runes, etc.

These runes are all at the pinnacle of the second level, and their power is astonishing.

Even if Xuanyu Immortal City was defeated in the end.

But Yuhe Fairy City also suffered a tragic defeat.

"What they formed is a five-phase rotating sword formation, which can be attacked or defended."

"Among the five, two late-stage foundation-building monks are the main swordsmen, and they take turns to attack with swords. Even if the golden elixir monks encounter them, they will not be able to break through easily!"

Dean Gong pointed to the opponent's sword formation and analyzed it with everyone.

"Shi Yi, who has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, has the best fire attribute spiritual root, and masters the Thousand Flame Sword Intent."

"Lin Feng, who has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, has the Wind Shadow Sword Body, and masters the Wind Shadow Sword Intent."

"He Feiyu, who has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, has the best spiritual root of thunder attribute, and masters the heavy thunder sword intention."

······

"The five-phase sword formation can condense the five-phase sword domain, and its power is infinitely close to that of the golden elixir monk's elixir domain."

"Generally, the only way to crack it is to fight head-on and destroy the five phases."

"If our Fire Dragon Sword Formation and the Five-Phase Sword Formation go head-to-head, we won't be able to gain any advantage!"

Dean Gong continued to analyze the opponent's situation with everyone.

Hearing Dean Gong's words, everyone else's eyes suddenly turned to Zhou Ling.

In the first battle, Zhou Ling analyzed that his opponent's formation was almost completely in place.

Only then can we win like this.

So everyone naturally wants to know what Zhou Ling thinks?

Otherwise, Dean Palace would not be able to see the obvious flaw, and they would just stare.

In the end, I could only fight with the Fire Dragon Sword Formation!

"The power of this five-phase sword formation is indeed impressive, but the five phases are balanced. The gap between the cultivation levels of the monks who form the sword formation should not be too large."

"And after today's battle, the consumption of two of the foundation-building disciples was obvious."

"So when we face them tomorrow, we will focus on the swordsmanship of these two disciples."

"As long as one of them is defeated, this five-phase sword formation will be defeated by itself!"

After Zhou Ling pondered for a while, he put forward his own opinion.

Of course, with Dean Gong's eyesight, there would be no problem with the sword formation.

But she analyzed it from the perspective of overall combat strength.

And Zhou Ling can naturally analyze from multiple angles with the help of his two talents [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis].

We were even able to find the weaknesses of two of the mid-stage foundation-building monks.

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Looking at the photos, they felt that what Zhou Ling said made sense.

From the picture in the photo jade, although the five people are arranged in a five-phase sword formation, they cooperate with each other very well.

But most of the opponent's rune attacks were directed at the swordsmanship of the three late-stage foundation-building monks.

Therefore, the Five Phase Sword Formation has been in a stable state throughout the entire process.

Only when the swords of the other two mid-stage foundation-building monks encountered fierce attacks did some obvious fluctuations occur.

"Zhou Ling, your vision is really amazing!"

"Please analyze it and see if there is any good way to deal with it!"

Dean Gong also greatly agreed with Zhou Ling's analysis.

"There is no trick. We can only use the sword formation to confront him head-on, but mainly attack the opponent's weak sword form!"

Zhou Ling said aloud.

The opponent's strength is not weak either.

And through [intermediate analysis], he can only understand some of the opponents' weaknesses, take advantage of them, and plan ahead.

But in the final analysis, the final battle situation mainly depends on strength.

"However, we can organize a surprise attack based on the two people's weaknesses!"

"The two of them are relatively weak in cultivation. They have consumed a lot of energy today. They will not be able to fully recover even if they go into battle tomorrow."

"We consume less today, which is already a big advantage!"

"With Jin Sheng's Burning Sword Intent, you have a great advantage!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Ling made another suggestion.

Generally speaking, there is a big gap in strength between the middle and late stages of foundation building.

However, for sword cultivators, there is a certain degree of compensation in the comprehension of sword intent.

Just like Jin Sheng is now in the middle stage of foundation building, but with the help of his sword body, his combat power is no less than that of the late stage of foundation building.

And the sword formation needs to be balanced in all aspects. A slight mistake can basically determine the outcome.

This is especially true for the five-phase sword formation.

In Zhou Ling's view, Jin Sheng's burning sword intent is the key to breaking through the opponent's sword phase.

His furnace sword intent is derived from Jin Sheng's burning sword intent, so he has a deep understanding of its advantages.

Hearing Zhou Ling's words, the five disciples were thoughtful and soon began to discuss.

"Your opponent this time is also a peak Jindan sword cultivator Gao Qi, who has comprehended the Seven Star Sword and has reached the third realm and fourth step. It is said that he is only one step away from the fourth realm!"

"It is said that there is no opponent below the Nascent Soul, and some Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage can't do anything to him!"

At this time, Dean Gong pointed to another battle situation in the Liuying Jade and said to Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling saw a dazzling Galaxy Sword Domain and a Bingpo Dan Domain intertwined and bombarded in the picture projected by the Liuying Jade.

In the end, the Galaxy Sword Domain broke through the ice of the Ice Domain and completely defeated the opponent.

"If we are not sure, we will condense the Sun and Moon Five Phases Sword Formation!"

Looking at Zhou Ling's frown, Dean Gong said so.

In the early years, she competed with Dean Zhao for the position of Dean of the Jiutian Sword Academy in Yuhe Immortal City, but because of her low cultivation, she was defeated.

So she came to the Jiutian Sword Academy in Qingyun Immortal City.

Originally, it is normal for the two sides to fail in competition.

But Dean Gong couldn't stand Dean Zhao's face of a villain. There were some grudges between them.

So now she must find a way to defeat the opponent. As for Dean Zhao, after entering the fourth realm of swordsmanship, she is confident that she has the strength to defeat him.

Now it depends on Zhou Ling's situation.

After all, she can see from the battle in the morning that Zhou Ling was able to defeat the opponent more by relying on the spirit flame to not fear He Jingdan domain.

But tomorrow's opponent, Gao Qi, is a star attribute sword cultivator, and Zhou Ling's spirit flame has no obvious advantage over him.

"Dean, I'll take this back and analyze it first, and make a decision tomorrow!"

In the jade image, the battle between the two sides was fierce, and Zhou Ling wanted to study it first.

If it really doesn't work, then use [Illusion Simulation] to understand the opponent's situation first.

"Well, you don't have to be stressed. In today's battle, they also consumed a lot. As long as we set up the Sun and Moon Five Elements Sword Formation, it will be enough to be invincible!"

Dean Gong said so.

She knows Zhou Ling's swordsmanship best.

If the two of them condense a sword formation, the Five Elements Sword Domain will cooperate with her Heaven and Earth Sword Domain, which can greatly enhance the power of her Heaven and Earth Sword.

Apart from anything else, at least the duration of the Sword Domain can be doubled.

Zhou Ling nodded, and he naturally would not feel any pressure.

Now he already has the Jade Huan Jindan in his hand.

Moreover, the sword cultivation is not his real livelihood, so even if he loses, it will not have any impact.

However, since the opponent is Dean Gong's opponent, he must naturally defeat him with all his strength.

After discussing with Dean Gong and the others for a while, he left the hall and returned to the room.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling carefully observed the opponent's situation through the image jade.

He learned that the opponent was a sword cultivator of the third realm and the fourth step, and could also use the power of the stars in the sky.

As long as his sword domain is isolated from absorbing the power of the stars, his combat power will drop sharply.

Otherwise, his sword domain can continue to use the power of the stars, and its own consumption will be very small.

Even a Yuanying cultivator cannot outlast him.

And conventional means can't stop his sword domain from absorbing the power of the stars.

After several [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling came up with a plan to form a five-element sword formation with five-element spirit flames to block the power of the stars.

In this way, without the assistance of the power of the stars, the opponent's cultivation will drop sharply.

It will be much easier to deal with.

But what is the specific actual combat effect?

It still depends on the on-the-spot response.

Zhou Ling also decided to use the five-element sword formation with the five-element spirit flames to fight the enemy.

After all, he has the two talents of [Six-turn Change] and [Meticulous], so even if he uses the five-element sword domain, the consumption is within the controllable range.

······

The next day, the competition continued.

The main courtyard of the Jiutian Sword Academy was even more lively.

After yesterday's competition, thirty-two Taoist academies have been eliminated.

The competition for the remaining thirty-two Taoist academies will become more and more intense.

There are more and more highlights.

For example, among the disciples, many talented disciples have appeared.

In the first round, someone even defeated the opponent's five disciples in a one-on-five match.

This is Shi Xiuyu, the peerless genius who came to represent the Jiutian Sword Domain of Qingyun Immortal City.

He became the most popular person among the disciples.

There was also a thunder body disciple named Wan Ya, whose fighting power was also extremely terrifying. He also fought five people alone.

The most popular person among the teachers was Zhou Ling, the chief of the foundation building of the Jiutian Sword Academy in Qingyun Immortal City.

His performance yesterday can be said to have amazed the entire Qingyang Immortal City.

A peak foundation building cultivator defeated a peak golden elixir cultivator. This is a major event that has never happened in Qingyang Immortal Domain for nearly a thousand years.

The news that he is the first person below the Yuanying cultivator in Qingyang Immortal Domain has spread.

Although Zhou Ling took some tricks in this battle.

But being able to control five spiritual flames is also a display of terrifying strength.

As long as Zhou Ling is willing to consume the five spiritual flames, even the Nascent Soul cultivators will be prepared for it.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

With the arrival of many judges in the judges' seats, the melodious bells of the Taoist temples also rang.

"The Bu Tian Taoist Temple in Jin Guang Xian City vs. the Tian Xia Taoist Temple in Fei Yu Xian City, the No. 3 competition stage"

"The Jiu Tian Sword Temple in Yu He Xian City vs. the Jiu Tian Sword Temple in Qing Yun Xian City, the No. 5 competition stage."

······

As the host's loud voice sounded, the cultivators of each Taoist temple walked towards the competition stage.

And the Jiu Tian Sword Temple in Qing Yun Xian City undoubtedly became the focus of the audience.

After all, Zhou Ling's performance is really exciting.

"Master Wang, do you think Zhou Ling can still win today?"

On the judges' seats, looking at the No. 5 competition stage, Dean Shen couldn't help but ask.

"I also hope this kid wins."

Master Wang said with a smile.

Zhou Ling's performance yesterday also brought glory to their Wang family.

Outsiders often think that Zhou Ling's current achievements are inseparable from the cultivation of their Wang family.

Otherwise, where would Zhou Ling, a first-level casual cultivator, get the resources and skills?

"Zhou Ling still has great potential. If he continues to progress like this, he will be the pillar of my Qingyang Immortal Domain in the future!"

Lin Zhishou also said with a hint of meaning.

Hearing this, the head of the Wang family showed a look of surprise. He did not expect Lin Zhishou to have such a high evaluation of Zhou Ling.

He felt quite helpless.

With Zhou Ling's current situation, he no longer needs to rely on the Wang family.

He himself is fully capable of supporting a Yuanying family.

In this situation, it is even more impossible to let Wang Xin return to the family.

But the Wang family cannot use force!

After all, Zhou Ling is no longer someone that their Wang family can control at will.

"Yesterday Zhou Ling was lucky. With the help of Lingyan, He Jing's Danyu could not suppress him. Today, he faced Gao Qi from Jiutian Sword Academy in Yuhe Immortal City, who is said to have touched the threshold of the fourth realm of sword intent."

"He can also use the power of the stars."

"It is impossible for Zhou Ling to defeat him!"

A handsome and powerful judge said.

He is Zhu Gang, the dean of Feilong Battle Academy.

"That's what he said, but who could have thought that He Jing would lose to Zhou Ling yesterday!"

Dean Shen shook his head and said.

Although Zhou Ling represented Jiutian Sword Academy this time, he was still a teacher of Xuanyuan Dao Academy after all, so he naturally supported Zhou Ling.

While everyone was discussing, Zhou Ling and others followed Dean Gong to the competition stage.

"I didn't expect that you could really enter the second round!"

Seeing Dean Gong and others, the burly Dean Zhao said nonchalantly.

Beside him, stood a middle-aged man with an indifferent look and a thin figure.

It was Gao Qi.

He looked at Zhou Ling, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

After learning that Zhou Ling defeated He Jing, he did not believe that Zhou Ling was a foundation-building cultivator, and most likely he was hiding his cultivation.

But as his divine sense swept over, Zhou Ling was indeed at the peak of the foundation-building stage, but the mana in his body was extremely strong, far superior to that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
