No matter the speculations and suspicions of the people below, they will not affect the progress of the two people on the stage.
They have been fighting for a while, and they have used dozens of moves in quick succession without any pause.
In order to achieve this situation, it is naturally not something that Pingyang Zhenren can do casually.
He is not so powerful that he can easily suppress Lin Pingzhen to this point. The current situation had been carefully analyzed and deduced repeatedly. Fortunately, everything that happened later was consistent with the route he had deduced in his mind.
He prepared for this grand ceremony earlier than everyone imagined. Even before the joint competition was announced, he had already started preparing for this battle.
The disciple of True Lord Xuanyang is Lin Pingzhen. How could he not know?
His talents and understanding are all bad, and his cultivation has improved rapidly and steadily. He was promoted to Jindan in less than ten years after starting. Let alone the Wuhua sect, it is rare to be placed in the southeastern border.
Of course, such qualifications are not something that people should be afraid of. After all, this kind of qualification is not uncommon in the world of cultivation. There are a large number of them every year, and they really can't compare with others.
But the problem is that such a person still has the most orthodox identity and resources.
As the disciple of the real master, he already has a natural advantage. Whether it's resources or connections, the other disciples in the sect can't find them. What's more, True Lord Xuanyang values him very much, and his words and deeds over the years have vaguely suggested that he will be the next successor to the head of the family.
This is what he can't bear the most.
This is probably a sad continuation of fate. True Lord Xuanling has been defeated by True Lord Xuanyang all his life. He can only huddle aside and linger in depression, making himself uncomfortable all the time.
His resentment and ideas seemed to be passed on to his disciples along with this period of unsatisfactory life, and became a major nutrient for the growth of Pingyang Zhenren.
Think about it, what kind of mental outlook will a monk who is trapped in resentment and ambition, dissatisfaction and unwillingness have... You don't have to think about it to know. In this case, if it doesn't grow crookedly, it will be a good seedling.
As he wished, Pingyang was as ambitious as his name.
Pingyang Zhenren is a real careerist. He wants the top resources, he wants power, and he wants the supreme status. Even if what he has is not bad, it cannot hinder his further ambitions.
Those who have what he wants naturally become stumbling blocks in his way.
Lin Pingzhen was the most conspicuous obstacle in his eyes.
The existence of this man was a major roadblock to his path to the highest position. As long as the other party exists, he will never be the center of attention, and he will never be able to get in front of those old men who have never changed.
What a fate they have... The masters who were once enemies were also young disciples under the names of their respective masters.

It was not until he retired and concentrated on practicing that the legendary era passed, and all the sword cultivators had a chance to breathe, and a new generation began to gradually rise. And those rumors and legends circulated by the older generation have gradually lost their original color over the years.
When he was in his prime, no one could compare to him. Now that his cultivation has become increasingly advanced, he has always been alone, and few people can pry into his depth.
To this day, no one dares to step on his line, because no one knows what kind of behemoth will be alarmed and what kind of waves it will stir up.
When he appeared at this sword ceremony, it could be said to have caused a huge response. Not long after the event was already famous, it attracted a large number of admiring monks. They are all here for this Lord Ming'an...
Lin Ping was really able to receive such praise from the other party, which was considered the first in the southeastern border.
Although it is possible that the other party's preference is a bit exaggerated, it is impossible to boast with closed eyes, which shows Lin Pingzhen's aptitude for winning in the way of swordsmanship.
Even Zhenjun Xuanyang couldn't help but praise during an internal discussion, "My Qilin son is also a gentleman in the sword."
There are also many rumors about his swordsmanship, and all of them are positive or neutral evaluations without exception. He even has a good reputation among middle- and upper-class monks.
This is not an easy task. You must know that these monks are the main force of the sect now. Before they retire and are most active, a dark horse like Lin Pingzhen who lands in the air is their potential rival. This delicate relationship would be fine if we don't step on each other's feet. Under such circumstances, he can still have a good reputation among this group of people, which shows that he is really good.
However, these are only established when the gap is not large.
It had only been a few years since Lin Pingzhen was promoted to Jindan. He had just stabilized his cultivation and started to show off his abilities. Where is Pingyang Zhenren?
The long-famous Jindan monk has experienced several great secret realms before, and he is probably very lucky. Now he is on the threshold of the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, and he is only a little short of crossing this barrier to advance to the later stage.
How big is the gap between the early stage of Jindan and the peak of middle stage of Jindan? It seems like the difference is just a small step, but in fact it's really a lot different.
As long as the spiritual power is not adulterated, a middle-stage golden elixir can beat two to three ordinary early-stage golden elixir monks.
Of course, Lin Pingzhen is not an ordinary golden elixir monk. But Pingyang Zhenren is not an ordinary middle-stage golden elixir, and his current level is not an exaggeration to call him late-stage.
One can imagine the consequences of such a fight between two people.
Normally, Lin Pingzhen is very likely to lose. Everyone knows this, and Ningxia has been worried about Lin Pingzhen from the beginning... So in fact, everyone knows that it will be difficult for him to win.
However, people often like the drama of desperate counterattack or defeating superiors.
What's more, compared to Pingyang Zhenren, who has a bad reputation, Lin Pingzhen, who is as gentle as jade and has a graceful demeanor, is naturally more popular.
Many people still have great hopes for this competition...
But these luck and optimism were soon shattered by the cruel reality.
The gap between the peak of the golden elixir in the middle stage and the early stage of the golden elixir is still too big. The difference in spiritual power base alone is more than half.
Lin Pingzhen was suppressed by the whole dimension from the beginning, and he seemed a little embarrassed for a while.
In addition, this man's swordsmanship is calm and accumulated, which makes him somewhat restrained by Lin Pingzhen's more agile swordsmanship. In the case where spiritual power is completely suppressed, this is even worse.
"...It's still too forced." Some people were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
"Yeah, who would have thought of it. It seems that we take it too much for granted. There are still not so many miracles in the world of cultivation." The person opposite shook his head, as if he was laughing at his true feelings at that moment, and suddenly felt a little stupid.
"You can't say that. This competition has only started not long ago. Let's see, maybe there will be a reversal?" Then he said regretfully: "Besides, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. A monk with such a gap can't be replaced by anyone." It's the same effect.
