This Lin Mo is hilarious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy Ye Chen has too much hostility—I don’t like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His face went from red to green, hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team leaders in the bamboo pavilion watched this, falling silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng cleared his throat awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo junior really is… uh, quite unique, haha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhuang Weinan smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? Lin junior is still as gentle and considerate—he’s even giving Ye Chen junior a chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You call this gentle and considerate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell even quieter; even Li Feng couldn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Fei remained utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ye Chen inside the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, he could only sit back down with a dark expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena, strength alone speaks—Lin Mo, I’ll see how long you can keep smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Mo chose his challengers, those not selected looked regretful and began a new round of selections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About fifteen minutes later, the fifty challengers finally confirmed their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just Lin Mo who had to face three; the 20th-ranked cultivator on this year’s Immortal List, Ji Feng, was in the same situation, needing to endure three challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as compensation, challengers facing multiple opponents could choose when to accept each challenge during Stage Two’s arena battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Selection complete. Stage Two begins now! You may enter the arena at your discretion and begin combat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host, Li Feng’s voice echoed across the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished than Ji Feng leapt directly from his seat onto the arena floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He declared loudly, then fixed his gaze on the waiting bench challengers and said sternly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All three of you—come up together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a domineering line—write it down… Lin Mo silently picked up his little notebook in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challengers on the waiting bench instantly shifted expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One challenger stood up and asked: “If we win, who takes your position?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feng replied calmly: “If you truly defeat me, then just fight among yourselves on the arena to determine the winner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked down at them with disdain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this is impossible to begin with—so don’t entertain such unrealistic hopes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feng’s arrogance made all three challengers on the bench bristle with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challengers exchanged glances and quickly formed a temporary alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine—as long as you don’t regret it later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After both sides confirmed, the three challengers returned to the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One against three! That’s hardcore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long A rubbed his hands excitedly, then added with regret:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad no one challenged me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled: “Shall I give you all my opponents?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long A chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, better not—besides, that Ye Chen guy is way too arrogant; he’s definitely yours to handle, Lin Ge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for me… hehe, I’ll wait for Stage Three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo asked curiously: “Do you know what Stage Three entails?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he constantly probed Zhuang Weinan for intel, he still had no clue about Stage Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said Stage Three wasn’t designed by team leaders, but by the senior masters of the Nine Great Dao Academies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would only be revealed at the final stage—even Zhuang Jie didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long A shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No idea, but since Stage Two is the challenge match for 7th and 8th-layer new students, Stage Three must be for our 9th-layer new students!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Immortal List prodigies on the stands glanced over this way, though their expressions showed no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they’d all speculated this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Nine Great Dao Academies set up Stage Three, it’s almost certainly tied to our 9th-layer new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a free-for-all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone silently speculated, their gazes unconsciously drifting toward Chu Wange, seated ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s true, then she’s the one everyone must watch out for and fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they talked, Ji Feng below had already clashed with the three challengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Celestial and terrestrial qi, gather and condense into blades—clear wind reflecting the moon, pierce through void… go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ji Feng formed the incantation, dozens of true qi blades shot through the air, “shii-shii-shii,” hurtling toward the three challengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang! Clang! Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first challenger frantically raised his sword to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could parry twice, several sharp blades struck vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challenger dissolved into white light and vanished from the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meteor chasing the moon, clear wind leaves no trace… go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Feng gave the remaining two no chance to recover, immediately forming another incantation and unleashing another spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huuu~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two challengers hadn’t anticipated his speed—they barely managed to dodge and block before being struck one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two white lights flashed, and they were eliminated in sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Refining battles are like this—unless both sides are pathetically weak, even if equally matched, the victor is decided in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Ji Feng’s clean, decisive fight earned widespread praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Long A nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy was previously Qi Refining 8th layer—now he’s clearly broken through to 9th. No wonder he chose one against three; these 7th and 8th-layer guys are no match for him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo naturally couldn’t judge cultivation levels as accurately as the prodigies on the stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his own cultivation was still stuck at Qi Refining 8th layer, and even that was temporarily boosted inside the Immortal Exam Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal List prodigies seated here were all at least late Qi Refining 8th layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Qi Refining 8th-layer cultivators had, during their time on the Enlightenment Platform, broken through their bottleneck like Ji Feng and entered Qi Refining 9th layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These geniuses break through like drinking water, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed helplessly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for needing to farm merit to unlock the Five Spirit Dao Body and Flame Ash Refinement, he could’ve just focused on leveling up his cultivation base and reached Qi Refining 9th layer himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ji Feng returned to the stands amid applause, Long A leaned over with a grin and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Ge, when are you going up? Planning to save it for last?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, everyone on the stands turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words left his mouth, he rose from the spectator stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challengers on the waiting bench opposite, along with the audience beyond the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, all turned their gazes toward him—especially the group led by Ye Chen, whose expressions grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smirked, fixed his gaze on the challengers across from him, and curled his strong, sinewy finger in a beckoning gesture:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All three of you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-21T02:07:02.078Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3b5fd90d9891bc78ae721ca07bc5cb106a0e923932c34dd697e4a8470b49793f","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-86","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-84",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-cover.jpg"]
