Qingzhou Blood Kill Tower's prodigy, master of Space Concealment Technique, with a murderous aura capable of shaking a Golden Core, such strength, even among ancient country's prodigies, is extraordinary.

Initially, many thought Lin Jing might be embroiled in a bitter fight, but unexpectedly, Lin Jing, the Beast Taming Sect's Saint Heir with a beast-like visage and Buddha's heart, transformed into a Buddha Sect prodigy, his Buddhist Technique reaching the heavens.

The Buddha Sect, mainly active in the extreme western deserts outside the ancient country, houses countless strong figures, comparable to the whole of Qingzhou. If Lin Jing were a Buddha Sect prodigy, suppressing a cultivator from Blood Kill Tower certainly wouldn't be difficult.

Coupled with the incredible twelfth Qi Refining layer, some began to suspect whether Lin Jing, due to the Beast Taming Sect's closure, intended to switch to Buddhist Techniques.

"The Buddha Sect has always wanted to preach in the ancient country, often offering opportunities through high monks to those destined. Could it be Lin Jing caught the eye of a Buddha Sect high monk at the Void stage? Otherwise, his radiant presence cannot be explained; I've seen monks with completed Buddha Pills, yet none possess such Buddha nature."

"If a Buddha Sect powerhouse acted, reaching the twelfth Qi Refining layer wouldn't be impossible; after all, the Buddha Sect excels at unlocking potential. No wonder he established the Dragon Palace, imparting his Beast Taming knowledge to others without fearing loss, evidently because he's no longer primarily cultivating Beast Taming—Buddhist Techniques are his lethal moves!"

As everyone speculated, Lin Jing had already left the arena.

The master of Celestial Secret Tower's Celestial Regret Flower overseeing the prodigy battle gazed deeply at Lin Jing, sensing this year's prodigy battle might indeed be interesting.

"In a way, some of what they're saying is accurate," Celestial Regret Flower thought. The monk who helped suppress demons in the Great Wilderness thousands of years ago has indeed reached the Void stage now. If Lin Jing received his blessing in the Beast Taming Sect's Demon Suppression Tower, he is indeed linked to a Void monk.

However, although Lin Jing was enlightened by Buddha Sect powerhouses, enhancing his Buddhist Technique talent, one of the few types he rapidly progressed in, his formidable Buddhist Technique was mainly due to the combination of Buddha-Demon Pearl and Ice Soul Gu, allowing him to cultivate Buddhist Techniques leveraging its power.

Upon returning, Gao Sheng admired, "In just a few years, you've refined Vajra Fist to such a level, instantly unleashing eighteen palms, each capable of suppressing a Foundation Establishment perfect demon—my Great Enchantment Technique is scarcely comparable."

"Then I'll teach you Vajra Fist, and you teach me Great Enchantment Technique," Lin Jing proposed.

Gao Sheng: "???"

"Do I need you to teach Vajra Fist? Do I lack Techniques?"

"But if you want to learn the Great Enchantment Technique, you can marry into the Gao family."

"Pass," Lin Jing replied.

In the past two years, he had diligently cultivated the Buddha-Demon Pearl and Vajra Fist, enhancing his strength.

Through Vajra Fist training, Lin Jing's physique was greatly enhanced, his body's toughness now comparable to a Foundation Establishment's prodigy, the physique enhancement crucial for him, as he didn't want injuries in battles...

Other physiques might remain unaffected by battle damage, but the Longevity Body bleeding or losing limbs in combat could be fatal, potentially attracting more foes alongside the current enemy...

Thus, Lin Jing's principle was to strengthen defense significantly; body training couldn't be neglected.

Once Vajra Fist is fully refined, he plans to cultivate a Buddha Sect's Golden Body technique for even greater defense!

"More than Buddhist Techniques, I'm curious about the twelfth Qi Refining layer..." Wang Xiao pondered, his expression changing, unable to fathom; reaching Qi Refining ten layers and Foundation Establishment allowed his Divine Body to somewhat mature.

In his view, Lin Jing certainly possesses a unique physique, achieving Foundation Establishment at Qi Refining twelve layers... he couldn't believe it, even suspecting Lin Jing's physique might complete or even perfect by Nascent Soul Stage.

"Just consider I've been blessed by Buddha Sect powerhouses."

Seeing the Dragon Palace crowd confused, Lin Jing chuckled, having heard that most observing cultivators believed he'd switched to Buddhist Techniques.

He understood his Vajra Fist indeed seemed mystical, leading to audience misunderstandings naturally.

"Let's watch the contest!"

The subsequent prodigy battles were equally fierce. However, to viewers' disappointment, the prodigy's top ten didn't fully exert themselves, mostly overpowering any encountered opponents.

Soon enough, the first round of prodigy battles concluded, as Celestial Regret Flower stood amidst the heavens, announcing, "The sixty-four defeated in this round are all eliminated. Celestial Secret Tower will finalize your rankings on the new prodigy list based on your performance!"

"In seven days, the second round of prodigy battles will occur, with the sixty-four advancing divided into eight groups, each group having eight people."

"Then, every group of eight will ascend the arena for a mixed battle—rules remain the same. By any means, the person standing last on the arena advances to the third round."

"Tomorrow morning, Celestial Secret Tower will publish grouping lists throughout Celestial City. During these seven days, you may investigate opponents' information within your group, utilizing this time for preparation accordingly," Celestial Regret Flower smiled.

He eagerly anticipated these prodigies' performance amidst the chaotic battles.

As expected, some renowned prodigies might face multiple assaults, seemingly unfair—but this is what Celestial Secret Tower wishes to see. Competitions lack absolute fairness; such chaos rather showcases opportunities for prodigies exceeding expected strength.

"Second round, it's mixed battles." The audience conversed; eight-person mixed battles require prodigies' comprehensive qualities.

"That Blood Kill Tower guy is too unlucky, being eliminated so early; otherwise, his Void Concealment Assassination Technique would be perfect in the second round."

"No choice—luck is part of strength; he showed almost all his powers, though eliminated, his eventual ranking on the prodigy list shouldn't be low, but his record looks rough... perhaps enduring seven or eight palms under Beast Taming Sect's Saint Heir's Vajra Palm... haha."

Compared to the first round, the audience was naturally more excited about Celestial Secret Tower's grouping for the second round's chaotic battle!

Nonetheless, the pressure for prodigies heightened.

"Let's go." Lin Jing addressed the Dragon Palace, saying, "The strongest might not necessarily advance, weaker ones won't surely face elimination. When it's time, let your pet beasts draw fire."

"After this month's specialized training, they aren't afraid of pain anyway."

Dragon Palace crowd: ...

In the second round, Celestial Secret Tower clearly seeks prodigies who employ ingenuity and strategy to overcome stronger foes, surviving chaos. Such mindset sometimes surpasses mere cultivation.

"Sigh, should I start working now?" Xu Zhizhi sighed.

Lin Jing nodded.

"Indeed, come with me later; the organization has tasks for you."
