With a sharp scream, the bat monster swooped down from the sky.

Straight towards the bound girl.

In the next moment.

Several participants hiding in the shadows suddenly made their move.

Before the bat monster could react, it was hit in the wings by several people.

"We did it! Let's take advantage of its weakness!"

The fierce attacks of the group swept over like a storm.

As an A-rank lower-tier monster, although the bat monster was ambushed, the gap in levels couldn't be easily bridged.

Facing several participants in battle, it still didn't fall into a disadvantageous position.

Relying only on its teeth and the flapping of its wings, it managed to keep the battle within manageable limits.

"It's no good, this guy is too strong!"

"Its wounds are showing signs of healing already. We can't let it catch its breath. Everyone, use your best abilities."

Lin Xiaonuo, hiding on the side, watched the battle ahead with his eyes fixed on it.

Internally, he communicated with Zhu Qingyun.

"Elder Zhu, if you make a move, can you handle that bat monster?"

"No problem."

"But I have a suggestion. You can give me control of the body first, just for about ten minutes."

Hearing Zhu Qingyun ask for control of his body, Lin Xiaonuo felt a wave of fear in his heart.

The impression left by the last Nine Swords of Heavenly Beings was too terrifying.

Allowing Zhu Qingyun to possess him might result in widespread casualties.

It's possible that this mysterious domain would be wiped out in an instant.

"Don't worry, kid. Your strength has increased now, and your body's resilience is different from before."

"My control over power has also become more adept."

"You're moving too slowly now, so I've decided to clear the obstacles for you."

Seeing Zhu Qingyun speak with such confidence, Lin Xiaonuo thought for a moment.

"Alright, but let's agree on just 10 minutes, okay?"

"Okay okay! Watch me!"

Lin Xiaonuo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again.

The imposing aura of dominating the world immediately manifested.

In his small body now resided a cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm who comprehended the myriad of laws.

On the other side.

The battle between several participants and the bat monster began to intensify.

The girl bound on the ground was also struggling to break free.

She didn't want to be bait, but she could only blame herself for not being as skilled as others.

The ropes on her feet were slowly coming loose, and just as the girl began to move.

She found that there was actually another girl standing in front of her?

Lin Xiaonuo, controlled by Zhu Qingyun, looked at the girl's wounds.

Taking out his sword, he began to perform a few sword moves.

All the ropes on the girl's body were cut off.

"Run, the farther the better."

The girl who had just been rescued looked at Lin Xiaonuo.

"You're just at the E-rank level? This isn't where you should be. Let's go together!"

'Lin Xiaonuo' snorted coldly.

"Run, staying here means death."

The girl was dumbfounded. Clearly, Lin Xiaonuo was only at the E-rank level, so why did her words make her feel like she didn't even have the courage to refuse?

"I am Su Xiaoxiao from the Central Plains Wandering Gate. I will definitely find a chance to repay you for saving my life today."

After saying that, the girl struggled to get up.

Little by little, she moved away from the battlefield.

Several participants who were fighting the bat monster also noticed what was happening over here.

Seeing the bait being let go by Lin Xiaonuo, they were angry, but they had no time to spare.

The A-rank lower-tier monster wasn't as simple as they thought.

This group, composed of B-rank lower-tier and C-rank middle-tier individuals, had no family secrets.

They didn't even have the ability to fight above their level.

The gap in realms was like a chasm, preventing them from ever crossing over.

'Lin Xiaonuo' stood still, coldly watching everything before him.

Throughout history, selfish and selfish people were the most detestable.

As a controller of one side of the world, Zhu Qingyun was particularly disdainful of those who harmed others for their own benefit.

In just two or three minutes, several participants were all defeated.

The bat monster continued to screech in the sky, seemingly declaring its victory.

Several participants lay on the ground, covered in wounds.

The wails were incessant.

'Lin Xiaonuo': "Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves and are not worthy of pity."

"What nonsense are you talking about! If you hadn't let go of the bait, the bat monster wouldn't have focused its attention on us!"

"If I can't die, I will definitely find someone to tie you to a tree and drain your blood!"

A girl with a beautiful face said extremely vicious words at this moment.

Plat!

A flash of blood, and a head rolled on the ground.

The face of the venomous-tongued girl still maintained the expression from just now, as if she hadn't realized that her body had been decapitated.

'Lin Xiaonuo' shook the blood drops off his sword.

"Disrespect invites death."

The other participants on the ground were already gasping in shock.

An E-rank ability user, with just a swing of the sword, had killed a B-rank lower-tier ability user?

This was simply unbelievable.

Even Lin Xiaonuo, in the consciousness space, was shocked.

He hadn't expected Zhu Qingyun's move to be so deadly.

'Lin Xiaonuo' picked up a few small stones and threw them casually.

Several people lying on the ground were immediately hit, causing several more wounds.

"This time, you guys will be the bait."

...

The bat demon in the sky watched the situation on the ground, unaware of why humans were fighting amongst themselves.

However, it understood that this was a tremendous opportunity.

Now, it could directly swoop down and exterminate all humans, enjoying a hearty meal.

Diving down, the bat demon charged directly at the back of 'Lin Xiaonuo'.

"Fenglin Huoshan, Xu Rulin!"

The figure of 'Lin Xiaonuo' appeared like an indistinct shadow, slowly spreading everywhere.

The bat demon was dumbfounded. It hadn't expected this E-grade little girl to understand the technique of transformation.

"Break!"

Numerous Lin Xiaonuos thrust their swords towards the sky.

The abundant sword energy, as if weightless, rushed towards the bat demon swiftly.

The bat demon itself was very fast.

Seeing the sword energy flying towards it, it didn't pay any attention.

"Hold!"

Just as the bat demon was about to elevate itself, it found that it couldn't flap its wings anymore.

The surrounding air became viscous, wrapping itself around the bat demon, rendering it immobile.

The next second, the sword energy arrived as promised.

Piercing through the bat demon's heart, it let out a miserable cry before crashing heavily to the ground.

The injured people on the ground widened their eyes in disbelief.

The scene before them was too difficult to comprehend.

An E-grade ability user, how could they kill an A-grade inferior demon with just one move?

Had the power system of this world collapsed?

"Who are you? You can't possibly be E-grade!"

"Too bad, you won't know who I am."

'Lin Xiaonuo' swung the sword again, and another head flew up.

The smell of blood permeated the entire space.

Zhuyunyun's idea was simple, to repay in kind.

Moreover, this A-grade bat demon indeed enjoyed the taste of blood.

Such a good opportunity for merit accumulation, she couldn't afford to waste it.

On the scoreboard:

[Cloud State, Yaoyang Academy, Lin Xiaonuo: 5 points]

People in the viewing stands began to discuss again.

"Lin Xiaonuo, Yaoyang Academy? I haven't heard of any B-grade top students from Cloud State's participants this year."

"Elder Zuo, there are talented people emerging in every generation. Although rare, it's not unheard of for there to be cross-level combat techniques."

"Yeah, I didn't expect even a small place like Cloud State to have such talents."

"It's not time to evaluate yet. We have to see how Lin Xiaonuo performs later. Maybe she teamed up with someone else to kill the monsters."

Several influential figures whispered to each other.

"Go and check the information about Lin Xiaonuo."

Soon, the information about Lin Xiaonuo's participation came into the hands of several people.

"What! E-grade? Did the person who registered her make a mistake? Even cross-level combat has its basic rules!"

After confirming several times, the faces of several strong individuals were filled with incomprehension.

Cross-level combat also relies on a semblance of fairness, with E-grade killing A-grade.

This is simply unheard of!

"Quick, look, it's moving! It's moving again!"

Everyone's gaze turned to the scoreboard, where Lin Xiaonuo's information was frequently updated.

[Cloud State, Yaoyang Academy, Lin Xiaonuo: 5 points]

[Cloud State, Yaoyang Academy, Lin Xiaonuo: 5 points]

[Cloud State, Yaoyang Academy, Lin Xiaonuo: 5 points]

[...]

Dozens of score updates appeared in an instant.

The spectators watching the match were ignited with passion by this situation, cheering for Lin Xiaonuo one after another.

However, several prominent figures from major sects were sweating profusely at this moment.

This is not right!

If Lin Xiaonuo used the technique of gathering people and the strength of many to kill monsters, then the names of the others should also be displayed.

But now, among the dozens of pieces of information, only Lin Xiaonuo's name appeared.

In other words.

In just one minute, Lin Xiaonuo alone.

Killed more than a dozen A-grade inferior demons?

Something's wrong!

Could it be that the scoreboard is broken?

Absurd thoughts filled the minds of the crowd.

But at this moment, new changes began to appear on the scoreboard.

[Feng State, Zhao Yantong, 5 points]

The scoreboard was fine! The updates of other people's information also came out!

In other words, Lin Xiaonuo really did use E-grade strength.

To kill more than a dozen A-grade demons?

This...how is this possible!

In the mysterious domain.

Zhuyunyun used the people on the ground as bait, quickly attracting more than a dozen bat demons.

"Zhan Yunxiao."

With a single sword strike, the bat demon had no resistance at all, and was instantly killed.

Among the people lying on the ground, there was one who specialized in external martial arts.

"This is impossible, it's impossible!"

"Why doesn't your external martial arts have even a trace of internal force?"

"Could it be that in this world, there really are martial techniques that can fight across levels without internal force?"

He, who had practiced external martial arts since childhood, understood very well.

Using internal force to drive external martial arts makes the moves more nimble and domineering.

The existence of internal force is to allow external martial arts to be better displayed.

But there is a saying spread on the mainland.

People who purely enter the Dao with martial arts, do not use internal force, but rely on lofty external martial arts moves.

They can contend with enemies of different levels.

This kind of external martial arts ignores internal force, ignores levels, ignores the gap in realm between both sides.

It only depends on how profound the user's understanding of martial arts is.

Such people are also called martial saints by everyone.

Martial saints have no level because they do not need one!

The man trembled all over, his teeth clattering, as if he had realized something.

Pointing at Lin Xiaonuo, he asked hoarsely.

"Y-you...are you a martial saint!?"
