The next moment, he turned and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran as far away from Fang Yun as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elders had instructed them that Fang Yun of the Celestial Cloud Sect, much like Senior Sister Lin, possessed a special, combat-oriented constitution. Even at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining, he had defeated a Half-Step Foundation Establishment opponent to claim the top spot on the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect Ranking. And now, Fang Yun was already at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength must have become even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they ran into Fang Yun, they were to flee if at all possible. They absolutely could not allow him to defeat and eliminate them from the Trial Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently had a full twenty-two points. If he were defeated by Fang Yun, the points Fang Yun would gain would be worth even more than defeating a high-level energy body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Run! Quick!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Don’t look back!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun watched as the Wind Ling Sect disciple let out a cry and bolted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had initially intended to give chase. He would never turn down points, even if his opponent wasn’t an energy body and couldn’t provide pure Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even start the pursuit, he paused where he stood, slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His combat state had vanished...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does fleeing cause my combat state to disappear?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, that shouldn’t be it... Fleeing without any malicious intent towards me, that’s the likely reason my combat state disengaged...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having discovered a principle related to his combat state, Fang Yun mentally took note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an opponent posed no threat and didn’t actively seek him out for things like sparring or Magical Combat, he would be unable to enter his combat state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...As for a situation with malicious intent, the disciples of the Evil Sects would be excellent test subjects.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun made a mental note of it. He would definitely have to test it when he got the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was ninety-five percent certain that the principle he had deduced was correct. To be absolutely sure, he would need some control experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy bodies in the Trial Secret Realm were also interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as one entered a certain range, they would be locked onto. The higher the level of the energy body, the larger the lock-on range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These energy bodies maintained their lock-on effect even when fighting other Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only recently discovered this last point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these principles only applied to the energy bodies inside the Secret Realm, so they weren’t of great significance. They would be useless after he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Ling Sect disciple was already far away, and Fang Yun had no intention of pursuing him further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first sat down cross-legged and began to refine and absorb the pure Spiritual Power from the mid-level energy body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Cultivation saw another increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting far away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Qi Refining Tenth Layer disciple from the Wind Ling Sect breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness he didn’t follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided not to linger in the hilly area, lest he run into Fang Yun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Outside the Secret Realm.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now the final day of the four-sect trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four sects had disciples who had emerged early because they were no match for the energy bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All seven who had come out were at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eighth Sect Disciple emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore the attire of a Wind Ling Sect disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Wind Ling Sect Elder, Li Mingyi, appeared rather calm. This was the third disciple from his sect to have come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Zhongyun smiled faintly. Aside from the very first disciple to emerge, who was from their Star Moon Valley, the subsequent six were two each from the other three sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Wind Ling Sect had already had three disciples emerge early, while Star Moon Valley still only had one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliminated by an energy body?\" Li Mingyi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Mingyi’s heart tightened, wondering if it was Fang Yun of the Celestial Cloud Sect who had eliminated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you may go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Yiyang heard it was a disciple from his Vast Sea Sect, he remained outwardly impassive, but he was inwardly delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His grandson must have made his move.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next several hours,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>three more disciples emerged. None were from the Vast Sea Sect; rather, they were all Qi Refining Ninth Layer disciples from the other three sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all said they had been eliminated by a senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Luo, what is the meaning of this?\" Wen Zhongyun couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Tianrui also looked at Luo Yiyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just normal competition,\" Luo Yiyang said matter-of-factly. \"It’s not unheard of for disciples to be defeated and forced out early on the final day of the trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandson’s actions were all within the bounds of the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Sect Disciples who came out didn’t complain, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandson is vying for the first-place prize, after all,\" Luo Yiyang stated directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the emerging disciples only said it was a \"senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect\" without giving a name, the Elders present could easily deduce the answer. There was no longer any need for him to be secretive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Luo, you’ve equipped your grandson well. He’s certainly efficient,\" Wen Zhongyun remarked, clearly enjoying the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of his Star Moon Valley had practically no chance of competing for first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Zhongyun had long since relaxed his expectations and was simply watching the competition between the other three sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Wen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Feng, do you still have confidence in your Celestial Cloud Sect’s Fang Yun now?\" Li Mingyi turned his head to look at Feng Tianrui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do,\" Feng Tianrui replied, though he felt no confidence at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t very well say no, could he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Luo has his methods, but I believe first and second place will still come from among the disciples of your sect and mine,\" Li Mingyi said with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yiyang couldn’t stand to hear that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The results aren’t out yet. Fellow Daoist Li seems a bit too confident in his sect’s disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mingyi and Luo Yiyang began to trade barbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening for a bit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Zhongyun interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you two, that’s enough,\" he said, though a cheerful smile remained on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, another disciple emerged from the entrance of the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was someone from Star Moon Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliminated by a senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect?\" Wen Zhongyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, how did you know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi Refining Ninth Layer disciple from Star Moon Valley was stunned for a moment, but then it quickly dawned on him. There must have been many among the previously eliminated disciples who shared his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the disciple understood, Wen Zhongyun didn’t explain further and simply continued his questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what methods he used?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t. The senior brother from the Vast Sea Sect is at the peak of the Qi Refining Tenth Layer.
