Junior Brother... you’re quite the talk of the town!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senior Brother smiled teasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt a bit helpless but still cupped his hands respectfully and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother has been cultivating for three more years than me, please go easy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, well said, well said! Today, I’ll show you how those three years were not wasted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the pleasant words, the Senior Brother from Artifact Peak did not hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Elder announced the start of the match, he made the first move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight flying swords rose into the sky, surrounding Lin Chen from multiple angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, seven flying swords, all lower-grade magical artifacts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples from the Artifact Peak indeed have quite the assets...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen thought to himself, then also used True Essence to control a middle-grade magical artifact, a long blade suspended in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winning is certain, but it must not seem too easy, or it will arouse suspicion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen adopted a tactic of circling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wood Element True Essence completely shielded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the long blade artifact in the air collided continuously with the long swords, emitting the sound of metal clashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when occasionally struck by the long swords, they could not penetrate the Protective True Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Chen took advantage of being the later one to act, gradually consuming his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short time, the True Essence of the Senior Brother from Artifact Peak was already somewhat depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Lin Chen maintained steady progress by retreating to advance, slowly consuming the True Essence of this Artifact Peak Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Elders were watching this battle from below the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, that Lin Chen kid is going to win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, he seems to be at a disadvantage, yet his steps are unwavering...

In my opinion, wait another three years, and you’d surely enter the Inner Sect.\" He consoled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still regretful, Huang Xin felt much better after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes showed a renewed determination, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Lin, I will strive to cultivate diligently!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded slightly and returned to the third arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next match, the third round, narrowed eight down to four, deciding the top four novices under five years of discipleship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t expend much effort to defeat another Senior Brother at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the top four contestants were fully determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lin Chen’s surprise, besides himself, Li Zhenqian had also entered the top four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Li Zhenqian happened to be his opponent in the next match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sect tournament, semi-final on the third arena, a match between the 19th disciple and the 28th disciple...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Elder announced, the two Senior Brothers from the previous tournament stepped onto the stage together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Senior Brothers were from Array Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very beginning of this semi-final, two disciples from Array Peak simultaneously formed an array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena, two contrasting powers clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side, a Flood Dragon formed from Earth Element True Essence rose majestically, issuing loud dragon roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, blazing flames swept the sky, and within a radius of ten feet around the arena, no grass could grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array, Wind and Fire Array... interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen watched curiously as the two Senior Brothers from Array Peak engaged in a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were forming a battle array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle array is a simple array setup, established by using oneself as the array eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By preparing an array plate in advance, an array master can significantly enhance their combat power within the array range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Battle Array Master with Qi Refining Perfection cultivation, if prepared before a battle, can be difficult even for a novice Foundation Establishment cultivator to defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were at Qi Refining Perfection, and both had some accomplishments in array knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk, ultimately, the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array will win...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching briefly, Lin Chen had already decided the outcome of this match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no other reason, the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array had a great advantage within the hundred-meter arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It advanced by retreating, relying on the earth vein’s soil elements as a source, keeping the array defensive rather than offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, the Wind and Fire Array prioritized attack; in long-distance shifts, it held a great advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as the raging flames on the arena were swallowed by the giant Earth Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Senior Brother deploying the Wind and Fire Array showed a dissatisfied expression, his face pale: \"I lost...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the victor showed a look of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, winning this semi-final meant the first victory in the third arena tournament was within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, this Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array is troublesome...
