He nodded lightly and casually spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm! Impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Lin Ping’an, a freshman in the Creation Department, Fourth Grade Middle Rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, several people gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was already known, hearing the firsthand confirmation still inspired awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth Grade Middle Rank? Incredible! This is true power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder you’re this year’s top scholar in both academics and martial arts; it’s terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To cross the Bridge of the Five Viscera in one go, bypassing Fourth Grade Initial Rank; that’s terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Die stood aside, arms crossed, with an unsurprised expression and a note of certainty in her tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you! That’s why you seem so strong! Tell me, did you hide your strength during the exams?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the inventor of the Concealing Breath Technique, you’re really sly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’an shrugged, offering no explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He neither confirmed nor denied, leaving them to imagine things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his combat power grew, he gradually revealed his true martial arts realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Eighth Grade Grandmaster level prowess, he was well protected, even if some harbored ill intentions, aiming to uncover Lin Ping’an’s secrets; he could handle it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, hearing those three words triggered memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Concealing Breath Technique? Is it the cultivation technique Junior Lin created? I remember it being somewhat redundant, only effective for Lower Third Grades!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed! I’m about to break through from Third Grade High Rank to Fourth Grade, so I never cared to learn it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotta say though, this technique is great for pretending to be weak and ambushing; I can’t perceive Junior Lin’s true Qi Blood Value at all now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In conversation, they acknowledged Lin Ping’an’s Fourth Grade Middle Rank ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, true is true, false is false. If discussed, there was no need for exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, during the villa challenge when the new semester started, he exhibited at least Third Grade Qi Blood strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This event was known by these people as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Lin Ping’an stood like a detached backdrop, showing no intention of joining the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Die clapped her hands loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, enough with the chit-chat! Isn’t it boring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Grand Xia Talent Competition’s format changes every year. Two years ago, it was hunting exotic beasts; last year, team arena battles; it’s rumored there’s a new theme this year, only revealed on the competition day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just so you know, whether team or individual, prioritize academy honor—don’t drag each other down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, Lin Ping’an included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, eyes remained fixed on a certain person, awaiting more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment... two moments... three moments...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence enveloped as countless question marks floated in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why isn’t she speaking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Die scratched her head, a touch of surprise on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... Why are you looking at me? Something wrong with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words shattered the silence, as several people twitched their lips and voiced their queries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Su, what about the other matters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! We’re not here just for this, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listening to your talk is better than listening to any talk; please get to the point?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten seconds later, Su Die coughed slightly, trying to smooth over the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said there’s nothing else? It’s an opportunity for you to get familiar with each other!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Junior Lin Ping’an, you’re unfamiliar too; just spar a little to have an understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes instantly filled with disdain and peculiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Making it up, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn’t this just to talk about those things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Third Grade challenging a Fourth Grade? Want to see us get beaten up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Die blushed slightly, yet forcefully retained her dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance! Opportunities for a Third Grade to battle a Fourth Grade are rare; furthermore, you’re facing Junior Lin. No need to worry about mishaps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished, Lin Ping’an straightforwardly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s pointless! The gap’s too wide, it’s better not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon hearing this, several people’s fighting spirit ignited instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Lin, can’t say that! A Martial Artist must dare to challenge strong foes; come battle! Let me see how far I am from a Fourth Grade Middle Rank Martial Artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right! Don’t underestimate us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph! I’ve cultivated to Third Grade High Rank, been through far more battles than you imagine; careful not to slip up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the three gripped their weapons, eyes flashing with boundless sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’an nodded slightly, attitude easing without further refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To these newfound seniors, his perception was rather favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they insisted on fighting, he’d oblige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it wouldn’t take long; he’d be slightly cautious, not too harsh when the time came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Center of the martial arts grounds, the two stood opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold and poised Senior Sister Qin Yu wielded a long sword, sharply speaking word by word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, let’s begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she voiced these three words, she darted forward like an arrow, swinging her sword to create countless shadowy remnants resembling a dreamlike scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xiaoxiao, watching intently, marveled excitedly at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... started by using it, it’s Sister Qin’s specialty Shadow Remnant Sword Technique; she’s clearly upset, going all-out from the start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burly Hao Yong scratched his head, responding in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going all-out is normal! A Third Grade challenging a Fourth Grade, of course one must explode at the start; try to catch the opponent off guard. If dragged out, naturally Qi Blood Value can’t sustain—eventually losing for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Xiaoxiao shot back a disdainful glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... with your talent of identifying key points, never think of finding a partner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should question why Sister Qin is upset!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That way, I’d explain she’s competitive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t pinpoint conversation keys? Be a happily naïve single dog then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god! Oh my god, this... how is this possible? How did he...? Is Fourth Grade Middle Rank this absurd?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, she suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Ping’an extended his right hand, pinching the sword’s tip effortlessly with index and middle fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight, more shocking than the previous dreamlike sword shadows, magnified ten, hundredfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, Qin Yu’s face turned pale; she took a deep breath, speaking in a disappointed tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I lost... Thank you... Thank you, Junior, for the lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Lin Ping’an released the sword, retrieving his hand, nodding calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Qin, thanks for conceding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Qin Yu knew her Third Grade skill was far from Lin Ping’an’s Fourth Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she hadn’t expected such disparity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword stroke, exerting full force with confidence to harm a Fourth Grade Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, underestimated herself—barely touching, let alone harming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two fingers alone, effortlessly holding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten seconds later, she breathed deeply, gathering her lost spirits, reigniting her fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Martial Artist, temporary defeat means nothing; focus on catching up instead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they say, flowing water doesn’t rush forward, but maintains continuous progress.\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-08T10:06:27.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","29a2120de18f1e4c40a836ab946b31aafb0768bc1e7dcee16db978619c35be2a","creating-demonic-cultivation-techniques-against--chapter-113","creating-demonic-cultivation-techniques-against--chapter-111",460,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcreating-demonic-cultivation-techniques-against--cover.jpg"]
