Compared to the Nine Palace Steps, the Rootless Steps was much inferior. However, Qixing did not give up on the Rootless Steps! The Rootless Steps technique seemed to not touch the ground. Rather than calling it a footwork technique, it was more like a light movement technique. Combining footwork and movement techniques into one was what martial artists often said. The difficulty must have been immense, though, for Qixing to try to combine the Rootless Steps with the Nine Halls. First of all, he had to completely comprehend the Rootless Steps and Nine Palace Steps! It was one thing to have no Rootless Steps, but a decent and exquisite cultivation technique was not too difficult for Qi Xing. Give him a little time and he'll have it all. However, the Nine Palace Steps was a miraculous and unparalleled cultivation technique. Each step seemed simple, but the profound mysteries contained within contained the laws of the world. It was impossible for him to understand it in such a short period of time.

Yesterday, when he saw Zhou Wen use it, Qi Xing was extremely shocked by its power. He could not wait to start learning the Nine Palace Steps. Even though he had spent an entire night, he had barely managed to learn two simple steps. This kind of learning was the most rudimentary of imitations.

"Number 1304, winner. Please move on to the next group." After recording the victor, the referee loudly announced. He was very satisfied with the way he looked at Qi Xing, and began to ponder in his heart. As he stepped down from the stage, the group of martial artists consciously opened up a path for him. He ignored everything else and found a quiet place to cultivate. What Qi Xing did not know was that his performance had actually entered the eyes of an interested person.

"Young master?" The youth was puzzled by the figure that suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Go back!" As the figure spoke, he walked out of the platform. Although the youth didn't understand what was going on, he could feel a faint killing intent coming from his young lord. The clever one had chosen to remain silent.

"A very familiar aura." Qi Xing looked around in a circle and didn't find anything. He focused on the stage instead. At this moment, the battle in the arena was extremely intense. The sparks produced by the collision of the weapons were like a fleeting firework. The Qi waves produced by the clashing of inner strength were like waves that lasted for a long time. Being within the range of the Qi Wave, the Qi Star was blown backwards, his clothes fluttering in the wind. The swirling sand made Qi Xing narrow his eyes.

"What's wrong with this year's competition? Why are there so many powerful warriors?" Some martial artists sighed.

"That's right, the previous elite rankings did not have twenty-five Fifth Heavenly Layer warriors, but this year, they actually jumped out of the top forty." There are even more geniuses that have a higher cultivation realm battle, and it's not just one or two of them! " Another twenty-one year old warrior sighed. He had already participated in one of the elite rankings, so it was only the second and last time. The first round was too weak. It ended in the first round. This time, although he had passed the first round, his strength had barely improved in the past two years.

The result of the match was quickly decided. Qi Xing also took the time to look around the various arenas and found that the other warriors were all at the peak of the fifth heaven. There was hope for him to become the champion, but that was only hope. The competition between the sect disciples was just off to the side. Qi Xing continued walking towards that direction. Qi Xing felt that it was necessary to understand the strength of the sect disciples participating in the competition.

As soon as Qi Xing walked over, suddenly, countless gazes fell on Qi Xing. Qi Xing did not stop moving and started to size up the sect disciples as if nothing had happened. Fifth Heavenly Layer! Fifth Heavenly Layer! Fifth Heavenly Layer! They were all fifth heaven disciples! There were less than thirty percent of fourth heaven fighters. This was the difference between a sect and a rogue cultivator. Even if there were only seventy percent of fifth heaven warriors, there were more than eight hundred fifth heaven warriors out of the one thousand two hundred participants. Compared to the two thousand four hundred over people, the four hundred and fifty places were like the difference between heaven and earth! A battle was currently taking place on the arena, and it was a fight between two Fifth Heavenly Layer disciples. Qi Xing looked at these disciples very seriously. Whether in terms of cultivation methods or movement techniques, they were all much stronger than Loose Practitioners. Qi Xing hopes to learn from this to enhance his own strength.

It's just that sometimes trouble comes knocking on your own door.

Hello, who are you?" Qi Xing was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone shout at him. Qi Xing turned around and saw a few sect disciples glaring at him. The leader of the group was a young man who looked like a young man from a noble family. His name was Sun Ji, and he was a popinjay in the Windy Sect with average power. The only reason why he wanted to compete on the elite rankings was because he wanted to gain some knowledge about Qi Xing. Seeing Qi Xing dressed in casual attire, he knew that Qi Xing was not a disciple, but a rogue cultivator. He thought it would be easy to bully her, so he decided to teach her a lesson.

"What is it?" Qi Xing asked calmly.

"Country bumpkin, this is not a place you can come to." The people behind Sun Ji instantly broke out into laughter when they heard the young man's words. A bumpkin? What an interesting metaphor.

Qi Xing turned a deaf ear to these people's taunts, as if he didn't hear them. He continued to focus on the arena. At this moment, the outcome of the battle was about to be decided between the two.

Qi Xing didn't notice that after he turned around, Sun Halberd and the rest had ashen expressions on their faces. Bastard! How dare you ignore us! " Some of Sun Ji's group couldn't hold back and took the initiative to attack. His sword slashed out without any warning! Everything happened in a flash!

"Clang!" At some point, Qi Xing had already turned around, his left hand holding the White Spirit Sword as he blocked the young man's attack. His calm eyes stared at the young man as he coldly said, "Don't bother me or I'll kill you!" As long as it didn't endanger her safety, it didn't matter to her! Besides, now was not the time to cause trouble. Dignity? What a ridiculous idea. Only the strong had dignity! What Qi Xing did not know was that he had already embarked on the road of heartbreak!

The most important thing for him was to improve his strength. If he missed the competition, then so be it. He could take revenge at any time! It was just that Qi Xing thought things were simple.

As the youth was stared at by the calm eyes of Qi Xing, for some reason, he felt his heart palpitating. However, Sun Ji suddenly said, "Boy, don't be arrogant. This is the sect's territory. You should stay there." Sun Ji pointed to the direction that Qi Xing had come from. That was where the martial artists of the loose cultivators competed.

Qi Xing expressionlessly looked at Sun Ji, laughing in his heart. Wherever I go, what can you do? Qi Xing was too lazy to bother with it. In his eyes, Sun Ji was just like a clown. Qi Xing immediately turned around and headed for the next arena. Since Fly refused to leave, he would leave by himself.

"Halt!" Sun Ji was infuriated, and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Damn it, this fellow in front of him was actually disregarding him! What was this? Challenge his authority? Behind him were several subordinates that would follow him in the future. Now that he had been completely ignored, how could he convince the masses in the future? Sun Ji loudly shouted out, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

Just as Sun Ji's killing intent rose up, Qi Xing stopped in his tracks. Suddenly turning around, the corners of Qi Xing's mouth slightly lifted, I'll use you to practice my sword!
