Zemin Yan felt a warm feeling receiving the support of his friends and Zhong Liang, if he had confidence, now he was sure that he had to give his best and win the tournament.

"Don't overdo it, kid, I have many points within the sect and friendship with Master Peng, so just show your best, just don't put yourself at risk" Elder Han said through Celestial Qi with a long-range communication.

"Old man do you think I'm going to act recklessly too? I'm like a weak pig, right? But you and I both know I'm a tiger." Zemin Yan responded with a seriousness not imagined for a 10-year-old.

"Just don't overdo it, otherwise others will be too discouraged. I don't want the new disciples and the inner disciples with a shadow in their heart," Elder Han said with a jovial laugh.

Zemin Yan took to the stage, being caught up by Bohai Xiulan, who would also be part of the group.

"You were very unlucky to fall into the group I'm in," Bohai Xiulan said petulantly.

"Oh, I didn't thank you for earlier." Zemin Yan brushed aside the teasing 10-year-old boy, who had lighter-skinned cheeks than himself.

A child of the nobility was often prettier than a child who had come out of poverty, but Zemin Yan was not bothered by that and kept the warmth and kindness.

After all, the little nobleman wasn't so bad.

"I already said I didn't do it for you I just found these people annoying" Bohai Xiulan said crossing his arms and looking at him very seriously, which made him even cuter as an adult who wants to be serious.

"Okay, okay, I still owe you one," Zemin Yan said, no less kind and even a little excited.

He was nervous with all the attention about him and his teammates in the arena, he felt he had countless heavy stares that made him a little apprehensive, so talking to Bohai Xiulan made him less nervous and more focused on the arena.

"You don't need to owe me anything And don't you dare go easy just to say you let me win in the end" Bohai Xiulan said with great authority as was common for a son of a nobleman.

"I tell you the same" Zemin Yan said, poking Bohai Xiulan's cute cheek, which pissed off the noble little boy even more.

"Silence! Bohai Xiulan is next"

Soon the group of novice disciples fell silent, Bohai Xiulan with his chest puffed out and a teasing look at Zemin Yan went to the wooden puppet.

Hong Yu looked at the scene and smiled, he who was with Elder Han talking friendly with the representatives of the city, just turned a ring that he always wore on his finger, no one paid attention to this small gesture.

"There's something wrong with the wooden puppet" Hu Zi suddenly said to Zemin Yan.

Hu Zi's soul was similar to an adult in his mid-twenties, his deep blue eyes looking beyond the ring that held his soul steady.

The sinister energy he felt was familiar to himtoo familiar.

The wooden puppet that was programmed to level Qi Realms has suddenly been leveled up to Rising Soul Realms.

In the blink of an eye, the power in the puppet exploded, shocking everyone, but they were to ramble to stop what was to come.

Bohai Xiulan didn't have much to look forward to in his short life, but the moment of death felt incredibly long, though it shouldn't be that long, he was barely at the height of Qi Realms while the wooden puppet was at Rising Soul Realms.

Time felt very slow around him, lungs felt heavy, and he could barely breathe the tip of the puppet's wooden sword carried a deadly glow and sharpened like the most dangerous sword made of precious diamond iron.

An ore, rare, difficult and that could cut other metals like butter, now before his eyes.

Would he be cut into small pieces?

However, he just felt his waist being hugged and his body being thrown away, his lungs finally got the air they needed, but the weight of her body beside him made him suffocate a little.

"No time for daydreaming, young master" Bohai Xiulan heard an unknown male voice and then the wooden puppet attacked again, making a great noise as the sword collided with a great golden barrier.

A rune glowing red rose in the air with the word "Protection" and the image of a sea turtle appeared a little fierce floating in the golden barrier.

"An Emperor Realm's Talisman!" People exploded in noise on stage.

They had never seen anything like it before, but there were so many legends and stories passed down from generation to generation, how could they not recognize an emperor-level barrier now?

The legendary golden tortoise of Emperor Ling, the cultivator of such a high level that he could erect barriers covering an entire city and keep it for a long time with only a small talisman to back it up.

It is said that the great sects had some of those few talismans that could be used for emergencies like heavy attacks from the Devils or demonic beasts, or even to defend against other great sects.

This shock went through everyone, but even more shocking was seeing Elder Han and the mysterious guard take to the stage in the blink of an eye, Zhong Liang's sword was so quick the puppet just fell broken in half with ice crystals coming out of the cut.

Freezing Cut Level 1 (Ice Opening)

A basic technique for experts in Aurore Core Realms cultivation that would leave the opponent paralyzed for a few seconds, but in Zhong Liang's hands, it became a very scary cut.

Zemin Yan who was holding Bohai Xiulan was a bit weak in body, after all, he didn't have a great deal of power to share with the talisman of an Emperor Realms level cultivator.

The barrier came apart a few seconds later, his body was held by Elder Han, Zemin Yan was extremely tired and somewhat sleepy.

Everyone thought the danger was over, but another wooden puppet was acting weird too.

Today, I'm going to do that warning and help request, if you feel uncomfortable, I need to do this because of the whole situation below. So, I'm sorry, /take_the_moon)
