That was the only way to minimize the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Han Jue defeated him when Zhou Fan released all his power, it would only show that Han Jue was even stronger. In that way, he wouldn’t be able to keep a low profile anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many people watching, it was impossible for Han Li to delay until everyone left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his decision, Han Jue walked towards Zhou Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Zhu said with a solemn expression, “Zhou Fan’s birth Dharma treasure is very strong. Because of this treasure, Master made an exception and took him in as a personal disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Yue’er disdainfully said, “He’s no match for Junior Han.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Hongxuan didn’t say anything. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Han Jue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan had a confident smile on his face, but seeing Han Jue walking straight towards him, he still felt inexplicably flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had often heard Mo Fuchou brag about him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he felt that Han Jue was very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, I will defeat him and prove my strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch carefully. I’ll make you regret it and let you know that you’ve underestimated me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan thought about it silently. When he thought about that smiling handsome face, he was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the small black bell, preparing to display his power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crazed smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he’s gifted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, I, Zhou Fan, will defeat this gifted cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding sword flashed, causing Zhou Fan to subconsciously close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan was sent flying, vomiting blood. He was like a kite with a broken string, blown out of the battle arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned. They had yet to recover from their shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle ended so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Old Immortal Dao Thunder, who was overseeing the Inner Sect Assessment, widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue retracted his technique, and the sword shadow behind him quickly disappeared. It only appeared for less than two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and bowed to Old Immortal Dao Thunder with cupped fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Immortal Dao Thunder came back to his senses and announced, “Jade Serene Peak’s Han Jue wins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd burst into excitement. The male disciples discussed and the female disciples stared at him with glowing eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So fast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See, Zhou Fan is just mediocre!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Jue is too strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is Han Jue? When did such a genius appear in Jade Serene Peak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s so handsome. Could he be the one the female disciples often discuss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue quickly left the stage and disappeared into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the battle arena wasn’t destroyed, the second battle soon began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan was helped out of the crowd by a group of Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still blood at the corner of his mouth. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. He seemed to have lost his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow was too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even know how he lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he was hit by the Three Pure Shadow Sword Technique, he sensed imminent death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Han Jue could have killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, he was still full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he was off the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan wished he could dig a hole to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he had become a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Yue’er, Xing Hongxuan, and Mo Zhu tried to look for Han Jue but couldn’t find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hid amidst the crowd and watched silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top five were decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five disciples would draw lots to decide who would skip the next round and head straight to the top three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples didn’t have any objections. At this stage, the difference in strength wasn’t great. Everyone could be in the top three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luck was an indispensable thing on the path of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue hesitated. If he became one of the top three, maybe he could just give up straight away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the top three could choose the Connate Cave Abode...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, his influence would be minimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prayed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Han Jue of the Jade Serene Peak is going to the top three straight away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four disciples looked at him with envy and vigilance as Old Immortal Daoist Thunder made the announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all witnessed Han Jue defeating Zhou Fan in a flash. This fellow didn’t use much of his spirit energy and was still in his peak state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue was overwhelmed with joy as he quietly walked off the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Yue’er and the other two immediately surrounded him, preventing him from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior, you have a good chance of getting first place this time!” Chang Yue’er said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Zhu and Xing Hongxuan were also very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all admired Han Jue and naturally hoped to see him in the limelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue shook his head and said, “I can’t. It’s already not easy to come this far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan, who was making his way over, almost fainted when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wanted to ask Han Jue what kind of spell he had used to defeat him, but he ended up hearing such words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan was so angry that he spat out blood. The disciple in front of him was sprayed full of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan quickly turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue turned around to see, but Zhou Fan was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next two matches were intense. Equipment, magic, movement techniques, and talismans. All sorts of things appeared. The four disciples were all-rounded and on par with each other. No matter who was the final winner, they still put on a good fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top three were finally on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The three of you will each fight two more rounds with different opponents. The one who wins twice will be the first, a win and a defeat will be the second, and losing twice will be the third.” Old Immortal Daoist Thunder explained the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue suddenly raised his hand and said, “Elder, I admit defeat. Previously, in order to quickly defeat my opponent, I exhausted all of my spiritual energy and have yet to recover. Let the two of them fight it out. I’m willing to be third.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked. Chang Yue’er and the other two girls also widened their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Fan was stunned when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn’t the case, why would Han Jue admit defeat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I’m not that weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Zhou Fan’s favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Han Jue saw the words in front of him, he said in his head, This guy is nuts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Immortal Daoist Thunder stared at him and then nodded. He changed the rules, and Han Jue was ranked third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue immediately got off the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following fight was less exciting than the previous ones. Both of them had consumed a lot of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue felt that he could have taken on both of them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the top three were decided, and the Inner Sect Assessment ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top three followed Old Immortal Daoist Thunder to Main Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way there flying on his sword, a line appeared before Han Jue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You entered the top three in the Inner Sect Assessment while keeping a low profile. You will obtain a Numinous Treasure.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations on obtaining a seventh-grade Numinous Treasure—Golden Cicada’s Mystic Divine Robe]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Golden Cicada’s Mystic Divine Robe: A seventh-grade Numinous treasure that can automatically defend against an enemy’s attack. It can defend against up to a blow from a Soul Formation realm cultivator. If you inject spirit energy into it, its defensive power will increase.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defending against a blow from a Soul Formation realm cultivator... So powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a Numinous treasure, stronger than equipment and Dharma treasures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seventh-grade Numinous Treasure. Could there be sixth-grade, fifth-grade, and up to first-grade Numinous Treasures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How powerful would a first-grade Numinous treasure be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue guessed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too satisfying. After obtaining the Golden Cicada’s Mystic Divine Robe, he felt very safe. And he was going to get a connate cave abode. It was a very fruitful inner sect assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he wore the Golden Cicada’s Mystic Divine Robe, he would be able to cultivate in peace and wouldn’t have to worry about sneak attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Formation realm cultivators were few in number. Hardly one appeared every century in the Jade Pure Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Golden Cicada’s Mystic Divine Robe could only protect him. If he ran into a Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn’t be able to kill him, and neither would he be able to kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jue couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you so happy to be in third place? Did Fairy Xi Xuan tell you to only fight for third place?” Old Immortal Daoist Thunder suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two disciples in front turned to look at Han Jue with strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t stupid and also felt that Han Jue’s surrender was too dubious. However, it was also good news for them, so they didn’t question it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1563,"2026-05-29T10:46:57.410Z","2026-06-01T04:29:27.021Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca0a30ff55433bdae14e9289de95a58c25cba1efa68f7f3e9d3440e2bf07a8e0","top-tier-providence-secretly-cultivate-for-a-tho-chapter-23","top-tier-providence-secretly-cultivate-for-a-tho-chapter-21",1192,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftop-tier-providence-secretly-cultivate-for-a-tho-cover.jpg"]
