A non-domain powerhouse, relying on his own attacks, was actually able to force a domain powerhouse to such an extent. Lin Xin was already proud enough. The attack power of his Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Furnace had already shocked the audience.

The blue light receded, and the Blue Fire Phoenix hovered in the air. Compared to when it first appeared, it was obviously very weak. The blue flames on its body already showed some transparency, as if they could collapse at any time.

However, at this moment, the Blue Fire Phoenix opened its mouth, and accompanied by a clear phoenix cry, three streaks of cyan light turned into three thin lines, heading straight for the shield wall in a line.

“Puff—” The first cyan needle hit the shield wall, and the much thinner shield wall suddenly rippled, appearing even more transparent. But the cyan needle also collapsed and disappeared. The second needle pierced again, but the shield wall finally couldn’t bear the weight. With a “pop” sound, a small hole appeared, but as it shattered, it also shattered the second needle. However, the third needle followed closely and instantly disappeared into the shield wall.

With a muffled groan, the Holy Knight staggered to the side, and the shield wall ended.

With a flash of blue light, Lin Xin landed on the ground. He half-squatted there on one leg, supporting his body with his left hand on the ground. His long, dark green hair looked a little disheveled. His body was also trembling slightly, and his face was as pale as paper.

Since reaching the ninth rank, this was the first time he had pushed the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Furnace to its strongest level. And those last three cyan lights were undoubtedly his trump card, the Hellfire Needles. This attack, which combined dark flames and his own Heartflame, possessed super penetrating power. The Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Furnace consumed the Spirit Barrier Shield Wall as much as possible, and this final blow was the key to whether he could win.

He couldn’t afford to keep consuming his energy, so he had to use his strongest attack to determine the outcome against his opponent. Whether he won or lost, Lin Xin had at least exerted all of his abilities.

The Holy Knight’s expression was no better than Lin Xin’s. A small cluster of cyan and blue flames was dancing on the right side of his chest. He was covering his right chest with his left hand, and golden light was radiating from his entire body, but the cyan and blue flames were extremely stubborn and burning there. The flames seeped out from between his fingers, and the Holy Knight’s expression was very painful.

Lin Xin panted heavily while barely raising his head to observe the Holy Knight’s expression. He certainly knew how powerful his dual-flame fusion trump card was. Extinguishing these flames wouldn’t be so simple. Even if the Holy Knight succeeded in the end, his cultivation would probably drop to the point of collapse, making it impossible to continue the next match.

“I concede. Young man, take back your divine power,” the Holy Knight said with a painful expression.

“Huh?” Conceded? Lin Xin was immediately overjoyed. Although he was suffering from the backlash of the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Furnace, he was still in high spirits, as he hadn’t expected to win this match. He raised his right hand, released his Fire Crystal Staff, and used it as a crutch, supporting himself as he walked to the Holy Knight’s side. He placed his right hand on the old man’s chest and sucked out the Hellfire Needles along with the dual flames.

When he sucked out the flames, Lin Xin was slightly stunned because he discovered that the Holy Knight’s true damage wasn’t as great as he had imagined. Although his chest was scorched black, in reality, the power of the Hellfire Needles hadn’t really penetrated his body.

The Holy Knight winked at him, and then staggered towards the resting area.

Lin Xin instantly understood that the other party was throwing the match! His Spirit Barrier, amplified by the Domain, had clearly blocked the attack of the Hellfire Needles on the surface of his body at the last moment, but he had deliberately pretended to be unable to withstand it, giving Lin Xin the victory.

When Lin Xin supported himself with the Fire Crystal Staff to walk back to the resting area, he nodded slightly to the Holy Knight who had already returned to his position, and his eyes revealed admiration.

The old knight smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes to recover his spiritual power.

Lin Xin returned to his side and sat down, his eyes subconsciously looking at Long Haochen. Long Haochen also smiled slightly, didn’t say anything, just signaled him to quickly recover his spiritual power. He had won, and there were still matches to come. However, it was obvious that even if Lin Xin could suppress the backlash of the Blue Fire Phoenix Spiritual Furnace, he probably wouldn’t be able to use the power of this Spiritual Furnace in the next match.

In the individual competition of the Holy Temple Grand Competition, the luck of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad was actually not very good. However, they had secretly received the full support of the Knight Temple. Among them, the two most important matches were Long Haochen vs. Yang Haoyu and the one just now.

The concession of the strongest knight and the strongest shield paved the way for them in the subsequent matches.

If Yang Haoyu had really gone all out, Long Haochen would have undoubtedly lost. As the leader of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad, once Long Haochen lost the match, it would be the biggest blow to the entire Dawn of Light and would have a great impact on his plan. However, Yang Haoyu’s concession not only allowed Long Haochen to comprehend many domain-related abilities, but also boosted his prestige.

Now the competition had reached the fifth round, and only twelve contestants remained. It could be said that the more members of the Dawn of Light who entered the following matches, the more it would affect their final ranking. The Holy Knight, who had the title of the strongest shield, cleverly gave the victory to Lin Xin, not only giving the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad a lot of points, but also giving them a spot in the top six!

Although Chen Ying’er lost the match, she greatly consumed Li Zhengzhi’s strength. Lin Xin then advanced. The Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad still had three domain powerhouses who hadn’t played yet. It could be said that the future matches were bright.

The Light of Selection flashed again, and this time, it selected the Bloody Valkyrie from the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad. Coincidentally, Wang Yuanyuan’s opponent was actually a ninth-rank space-attribute mage from the Mage Temple. Also a domain powerhouse.

With a gleam in her eyes, Wang Yuanyuan slowly walked into the arena. In the previous matches, although the opponents she encountered weren’t particularly strong, they were all above average among the contestants. It could be said that Wang Yuanyuan had overcome obstacles all the way to get to where she was now.

Her expression was calm, but her eyes were very focused. She looked at the elderly mage in the distance and gave a simple warrior salute.

The old mage also returned the salute. Entering the fifth round of competition, every match was extremely important. In the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi had already advanced to the sixth round. If they could have one more person advance, at least the Mage Temple would still be able to overwhelm the Knight Temple. If all three members of the Mage Temple could advance, then it would be even more advantageous for them.

The chanting of spells began, and the old mage raised his right hand and pointed it at Wang Yuanyuan. Immediately, a ball of silver light flew towards Wang Yuanyuan’s direction. At the same time, slight distortions appeared in the air, and the old mage’s figure disappeared into thin air.

He really didn’t underestimate Wang Yuanyuan. He used his domain right from the start. Because he had observed Wang Yuanyuan’s strength earlier, and knew that this young girl was also a domain powerhouse, he naturally had to strike first.

The distorted air was filled with faint silver light, spreading rapidly throughout the Great Trial Field. Space elements were full of uncertainty, and any perception would be greatly affected in this kind of domain.

Wang Yuanyuan stood there without moving, and a layer of blood-red light began to spread from under her feet, which was the Blood Domain.

The Blood Domain spread, but only maintained within a three-meter radius around Wang Yuanyuan’s body. The blood light swirled, setting off her title as the Bloody Valkyrie to the fullest.

The old mage’s deep chanting continued, but it seemed to be ringing from all directions. After being constantly refracted by the domain, it was impossible for Wang Yuanyuan to discern his true position.

The distorted space domain began to change, and silver lights began to appear one after another. Then, cracks began to appear in the air. These black cracks were like greedy mouths, ready to devour Wang Yuanyuan’s body at any time.

The cracks began to become more and more numerous, and the distortion of the air became even more intense. It seemed that the space within the Great Trial Field was being frantically torn apart by this terrifying spatial force, and could shatter at any time.

It seemed that Wang Yuanyuan was already in an absolutely passive position. Even more incomprehensibly, until now, she had taken no action at all, only releasing her Blood Domain.

However, no one saw that Wang Yuanyuan’s eyes, hidden within the Blood Domain, were not the red color of the previous Blood Domain release, but the silver color of the space attribute.

In the individual competition of the Holy Temple Grand Competition, what attracted the most attention to her was this unique Blood Domain, but don’t forget that she was a warrior with the space attribute!

Gentle spiritual power fluctuations flowed in the air, and a touch of soul-stirring brilliance flowed from Long Haochen’s eyes. He stared intently at the field.

From the moment Wang Yuanyuan didn’t take action, Long Haochen guessed what she was going to do. She would only make one strike, and only had one chance. If she succeeded, she would win. Otherwise, she would fail.

The members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad could all be said to be extremely gifted, and fortunately possessed ninth-rank cultivation at such a young age, even domains. However, what they lacked was the experience of powerhouses. Their speed of improvement was too fast. Many of them had even never experienced eighth-rank battles, and their cultivation had already been raised to the ninth rank. Compared with these traditional old-brand domain powerhouses of the Six Great Temples, their strength was bound to be lacking.

Just like Lin Xin before, he had an obvious disadvantage compared to the Knight with the Strongest Shield.

Now it was Wang Yuanyuan’s turn, and her opponent was by no means easy to deal with. If she went all out from the start, Wang Yuanyuan’s chances of winning were actually not great.
