Chapter 60

After two moves without victory, Shangguan Liuyun's expression became extremely serious.

"There is one more move, Lin Xuan. If you can withstand this move, you will be the champion this time!" Shangguan Liuyun's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"There is nothing left to hide, come out!" Lin Xuan, who was usually gentle, now spoke with a commanding tone.

"The third move, Sunlight!" Shangguan Liuyun raised his purple spear high, and a purple vortex rapidly spun at the tip. A large amount of purple spiritual energy surged towards the spear tip, forming a fist-sized energy ball under the influence of the vortex, which continued to grow.

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. The energy ball on the purple spear tip made him feel uneasy. The power of this third move was likely greater than the combined power of the first two.

Apart from the Celestial Star, Lin Xuan had used all his other moves. Moreover, he did not want to use the Celestial Star to counter, as it was his life-saving move.

"I can only try the third level of the Thunder Movement Sword Technique." Lin Xuan was not very confident.

He had no time to think further. Shangguan Liuyun had already condensed the purple energy ball and unleashed a purple glow, charging over. The speed was so fast that Lin Xuan's Instant Shadow Step could not evade it.

Furiously circulating the Longevity Formula, Lin Xuan pushed his spiritual energy to the limit. The red flame greatsword in his hand glowed with golden lightning, sweeping out.

Boom!

The dark red greatsword, which could have withstood Shangguan Liuyun's second move, was now being pushed back by the purple energy ball. Lin Xuan's face turned purple, showing signs of weakness.

"Break it!" Shangguan Liuyun exerted more force, the purple energy ball pressing against the dark red greatsword, slowly moving towards Lin Xuan.

This was almost half of Shangguan Liuyun's spiritual energy, all compressed into the fist-sized energy ball. After this move, his combat ability would greatly decrease, which was why he had proposed to decide the winner in three moves.

Facing this unbelievably powerful energy ball, Lin Xuan's body tensed, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

"It's over, Lin Xuan is going to lose!" Everyone saw the situation on the stage, Lin Xuan's struggling figure reflected in their eyes.

"Indeed, Shangguan Liuyun is still superior!" someone sighed.

"Am I going to lose? No! How can I lose here? If I can't even defeat these people, how can I face my family and the more formidable clan members!" Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with determination. He wanted power, even greater power!

"Ah!" His eyes were filled with madness, and his muscles, under the influence of the Thunder Movement Sword Technique, continuously tapped into his potential.

Peng! Under this pressure, his spiritual energy wildly circulated, finally breaking through the sixth spiritual meridian, and a powerful aura spread from his body.

"Hmm?" On the golden platform, Elder Fang's expression changed, his eyes flashing as he stared at Lin Xuan. He had thought Lin Xuan was about to lose, but now the situation had changed, which was unexpected.

Not just Elder Fang, even the ordinary disciples noticed the change in Lin Xuan, their previously calm hearts now on edge.

In fact, Shangguan Liuyun was the most surprised. He had already felt Lin Xuan's weakness, and victory was almost his. But unexpectedly, Lin Xuan broke through at this critical moment.

Yes, Lin Xuan broke through. He was originally at the peak of the fifth stage of the Meridian Condensation Realm, just a step away from breaking through. In this environment, he successfully broke through to the sixth stage of the Meridian Condensation Realm.

In three months, from the third stage to the sixth stage, this speed was unprecedented in the Xuantian Sect.

Lin Xuan's current strength had more than doubled compared to before. With the Longevity Formula, he was now on par with Shangguan Liuyun.

A powerful aura emanated from his body, and the purple energy ball that was about to hit him was now under his control, and he even had the strength to resist.

However, just as everyone thought the two would engage in a prolonged battle, the fist-sized energy ball began to deform, as if it was about to explode.

Sure enough, a few moments later, a deafening explosion echoed, and the entire stage was covered in purple light.

"This!" On the golden platform, Elder Li and others stood up, closely watching the situation on the stage. Many ordinary disciples were also on edge.

Whoo!

A figure flew out from the stage, quickly landing on the open ground. It was the square-faced elder, holding two people, Shangguan Liuyun and Lin Xuan.

The purple energy ball had clearly escaped Shangguan Liuyun's control, causing the situation to spiral out of control. At the critical moment, the referee intervened, saving both of them. The sect would not let such talented disciples fall.

Shangguan Liuyun was covered in blood, his face pale, and he was seriously injured. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was just pale-faced.

If one looked closely, one could see a layer of black patterns covering his skin, resembling a black lotus. The square-faced referee thought Lin Xuan had a secret treasure, so he did not ask anything, but his eyes still showed a hint of shock.

Sss!

The black lotus patterns gradually faded and eventually disappeared. This lotus had been strange ever since Lin Xuan could cultivate. Whenever Lin Xuan was in mortal danger, it would appear to protect him, while the mysterious small sword remained completely still.

"Xuanzi, are you alright?" Within the Xuantian Sect, Old Drunkard did not dare to act rashly, as it would expose himself, and then even Lin Xuan would not be able to escape.

"I'm injured, but it's nothing serious." Lin Xuan said weakly.

Hearing Lin Xuan's response, Old Drunkard nodded and said no more.

The scene was momentarily chaotic, with many disciples discussing the previous moment. Some were excited, some were worried, but most wanted to know how this situation would be decided. A draw?

"You won." Shangguan Liuyun, struggling to stand, said in a low voice. Both he and Lin Xuan were affected, he was injured, but Lin Xuan did not bleed, and this difference made him feel uneasy.

The square-faced referee, hearing Shangguan Liuyun's words, nodded and gave each of them a pill before announcing in a deep voice: "The winner, Lin Xuan!"

The winner, Lin Xuan!

This voice echoed in the training ground, lingering for a long time.

No one could have guessed that the champion would be Lin Xuan, this handsome young man who had broken the long-standing pattern of the outer sect and successfully claimed the title of the outer sect's first.

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Lin Xuan changed, filled with fear, envy, and admiration.
