With half the time remaining, it was possible for her to earn another forty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could get ninety points, she would basically be guaranteed first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had learned from an Elder that in the history of the four-sect trial, it was exceptionally rare for the first-place winner to exceed ninety points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most winners were concentrated in the seventy to eighty point range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might even be able to get a hundred points, as long as I run into enough high-level energy bodies,\" Lin Caixuan murmured after refining the pure Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of her forty-five points, twenty had come from high-level energy bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To win first place in the four-sect trial, the number of high-level energy bodies killed was crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her strength, dealing with high-level energy bodies only took a little effort. The mid-level energy body from just now, for instance, had been very easy to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two days have passed. It’s time for me to get started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with a low-level energy body, Xiao Lefan took out his Compass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, his plan was to defeat the weaker Cultivators from other sects and take half of their points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary targets were Cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining—with the exception of that Fang Yun from the Celestial Cloud Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting an ordinary Qi Refining Tenth Layer cultivator would be troublesome, and there was a chance they could escape from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risk with the Ninth Layer cultivators was smaller. Although the points gained would be fewer, he had his Compass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Compass’s help, he would have to attack any ordinary Qi Refining Tenth Layer opponent he encountered from another sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forty-one points... I need at least eighty points this time to have a chance at first place. Ninety points would be a safer bet...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Xiao Lefan began manipulating the Compass to search for disciples from other sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His luck was rather poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Lefan quickly found a Sect Disciple, it was a disciple from his own Vast Sea Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, it’s Junior Sister Qian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Xiao, do you need any help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered that the reward for first place in this four-sect trial was very important to Xiao Lefan. He doted on his younger sister; while his own Spirit Root was good, his sister’s was poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the kind offer, Junior Sister Qian, but no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shaking his head, Xiao Lefan vanished into the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he would mainly be dealing with other Sect Disciples, not energy bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he defeated a disciple from another sect and sent them out of the Secret Realm, if there was a disciple from his own sect within a one-li radius, those points might be collected by them instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would only be beneficial for the sect’s overall score, not for an individual’s point ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better rewards were tied to the individual point rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Lefan manipulated the Compass in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick search, he finally found a disciple from another sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a disciple from the Celestial Cloud Sect with a Cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. His right arm was an unnatural, dark purple-black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t clearly detected that the person was using Spiritual Power, and that they were in the Trial Secret Realm of the four-sect trial, Xiao Lefan might have thought he had encountered a Cultivator from one of the Evil Sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother from the Celestial Cloud Sect, will you leave the Secret Realm on your own, or must I defeat you?\" Xiao Lefan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party was willing to withdraw voluntarily, he could save some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zefeng said nothing, but the Spiritual Power he released made his choice clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he withdrew from the Secret Realm, half of his points would go to this senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect, a prospect he was extremely unwilling to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What if giving points to a disciple from another sect ends up affecting Senior Brother Fang?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other party was unwilling to withdraw voluntarily, he would just have to defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they clashed, Xiao Lefan sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other guy didn’t seem to have the mentality of a trial competitor; he was fighting as if his life depended on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this how the Celestial Cloud Sect screens its disciples?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overly fanatical disciple participating in the four-sect trial could easily pose a mortal threat to disciples from other sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swipe from the purple-black arm blackened the trunks of the trees it grazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother from the Celestial Cloud Sect, are you crazy?! This is just a trial!\" Xiao Lefan’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy was fighting with the intent to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother from the Vast Sea Sect, my apologies. This four-sect trial is very important to me, and I absolutely cannot give you my points. Even if you get poisoned, the Elders outside can quickly cure you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zefeng added an explanation to avoid any misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, Senior Brother, I know I’m no match for you, which is all the more reason I can’t hold back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Zefeng’s explanation, Xiao Lefan’s expression softened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this situation, he could only curse his bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the four-sect trial encouraged competition, it placed more emphasis on killing energy bodies for points, because the energy bodies were the Secret Realm’s resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not fighting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xiao Lefan turned and left without a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that by targeting disciples at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, he could avoid entanglement and end fights quickly. But his first attempt had been a failure, running into a situation like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Come on, let my luck turn for the better...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Lefan prayed inwardly. If his bad luck continued, first place would slip further and further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Xiao Lefan depart, Lu Zefeng let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting a Cultivator at the Peak of Qi Refining put him under immense pressure. If he hadn’t adopted a do-or-die attitude, he would have lost long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how many points Senior Brother Fang is aiming for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zefeng muttered to himself before finding a spot to start recovering his Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten points, received.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Yellow Iron Sword flew back into his Storage Pouch, a surge of energy entered Fang Yun’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure Spiritual Qi from a high-level energy body was the most satisfying to refine and absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-level energy body was worth ten times the points of a low-level one, but it contained more than ten times the pure Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he absorbed this pure Spiritual Qi, Fang Yun could clearly feel his Cultivation rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Onward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After refining and absorbing the pure Spiritual Qi, Fang Yun resumed his hunt for energy bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he entered the Trial Secret Realm until now, he had only used a single Yellow Iron Sword in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had prepared three special Yellow Iron Swords specifically to deal with the high-level energy bodies in the Secret Realm, but they turned out to be much weaker than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, the combination of his three-star Combat Talent and the special Upper Grade Magical Artifact was just too powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fang Yun ran, the Red Token fluttering at his waist showed that his points had already reached one hundred and twenty-two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, with the points he now possessed, first place in the four-sect trial was already secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to points, the more the better. Besides, these energy bodies were a real treasure for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had a chance to reach the peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining before January of next year. If he pushed himself a little harder, it might even be possible to reach it before the end of this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun was currently full of vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Half a quarter hour later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh? Sounds of a fight up ahead.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-06-06T00:02:43.386Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d92c8ae973c00f01ece793496de7b8222e3e26c13c5a40fd01a9c182842e21c","i-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-chapter-73","i-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-chapter-72",294,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-cover.jpg"]
