Spirit Through the Heavens

"Stand in the air!"

When everyone saw that there was someone standing on top of their heads, many of them were shocked.

Being able to stand in the air meant that this person's cultivation was at least at the Core Formation stage. Of course, if one could fly freely in the air, then they would need to have a cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage.

And even if it was Great Qin Dynasty, the person with a cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage would not even be able to reach a single palm. Thus, even a Core Formation Stage powerhouse would be considered one of the top in Great Qin Dynasty.

For his Genius Plan to be guarded by a Core Formation Stage powerhouse this time, it was clear that he was taking Genius Plan seriously.

"Hu!"

Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man standing in mid air and let out a light breath. Right now his cultivation had already reached the Later Period of Spirit Gathering Stage, so he was not far from the Core Formation stage.

However, even if it was a peak Spirit Gathering expert, there was no guarantee that they would be able to reach the Core Formation stage. After all, the process of Core Formation was extremely painful.

"Lord, who is he?"

However, his reaction was much better than Qin Feng's. After all, he had seen a large battle between Spirit Soul Realm experts before, so a Core Formation Stage powerhouse would not surprise him much.

Furthermore, the dignified Great Qin Dynasty was something that even city masters could use, so there were definitely even stronger existences.

Lu Feng guessed that there should be even a Spirit Soul Realm expert in the Great Qin Dynasty, it was just that such a strong person would not easily appear in front of everyone.

"He is called Xie Jie, the head guard of Great Qin Dynasty, his cultivation has reached Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage!" Qin Feng said as he retracted his gaze.

"Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage!" Lu Feng lightly nodded.

Of course, at his age, he was probably already at the end of his Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage. Unless there was some fortuitous opportunity, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in his lifetime.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Xie Jie, I am the head of the Great Qin Dynasty Guard, following His Majesty's orders, I will be in charge of the first round of Genius Plan." Just then, Xie Jie who was standing in the air introduced himself.

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Senior guard, I wonder what the content of this first round will be!" Just as Xie Jie finished his sentence, someone from below shouted bravely.

Actually, including Lu Feng, everyone was very curious about what exactly the first round of the preliminaries would be about to start. After all, the competition was about to start, but they didn't know anything, nor did they have any mental preparations.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Next up, I will explain the details of the match. I hope everyone will listen carefully. I will only say it once, whoever hears wrongly and cannot complete the quest will admit their misfortune!" Xie Jie said leisurely.

Hearing this, everyone's expression became serious. What was the meaning of this? Could it be that if they didn't hear it, they wouldn't be able to complete the mission and obtain victory?

With that thought in mind, everyone's gaze fell on Xie Jie.

"En!"

Seeing this, Xie Jie nodded his head in satisfaction, and then cleared his throat and spoke: "This time's Genius Plan uses points, just like this time's first round, where the top ten will get corresponding points. First place will get their points, top ten, top eleven, and no more than that!"

"The preliminary test this time is very simple, it is to retrieve an item from the Magic Beast Forest that is a hundred kilometers away. The top ten get points, the time limit is one day and one night, those who do not return by that time will be eliminated!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, many people nodded their heads in understanding. The initial test was actually so simple.

"Is it really that simple?"

However, Lu Feng did not think so, because he did not forget Xie Jie's last sentence.

If it was really as they had imagined, then even if it was just Early Period of Spirit Movement Stage, one could travel back and forth between the set time. After all, a hundred kilometers was not a long distance for a Spiritual Movement Stage powerhouse.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing the relaxed expressions on the faces of many people, Xie Jie could not help but laugh, because he was sure that these people who had relaxed expressions did not know where the Magic Beast Forest was.

"As expected!"

Seeing Xie Jie's smile, Lu Feng confirmed his thoughts. Seems like the real test was on this Magic Beast Forest.

"Everyone, there are a lot of Demonic Beast s present in the Magic Beast Forest, among them, there are many sixth, seventh, or even ninth stage Demonic Beast. Of course, these high level Demonic Beast are basically all inside the Magic Beast Forest, and the things you need to retrieve are only at the edge of the Magic Beast Forest, so as long as you are not too unlucky, you should still be able to return alive!" Xie Jie said softly.

When the originally noisy people heard Xie Jie's last sentence, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

"Live... Come back alive? "

"Should?"

Regarding these words, many people frowned. Those with a keen intuition could already smell danger.

The first selection seemed simple, but if there wasn't any difficulty, then how could they reduce the number of participants? If everyone completed the competition, then what was the point of the first selection?

After they understood this point, many people started to ask the adults beside them, and Lu Feng was naturally one of them.

"Lu Feng, the danger level of the Magic Beast Forest is not that high, but once we go deep in, even I do not have the confidence to come back alive. So, you must remember, do not go deep into the center of the Magic Beast Forest, that place is not a place where you can casually enter!" Qin Feng reminded.

"I got it!"

With Qin Feng's reminder, Lu Feng nodded lightly. Even he did not have the confidence to return alive, so one could imagine how dangerous it was inside.

"My lord, how do we know if we went in, after all, to search for something, maybe we went in unknowingly!" Wang Kai asked.

It's true that you'll be aware of it when you first enter, but once you focus on something, you might forget something else. If you slip into the depths of the forest then, it's not so easy to get out.

There might be people who would ask how to distinguish if we are already deep into the forest, so you can rest assured, we have already drawn a line of warning in the forest, if you see a yellow mark deep in the forest, it means that you are already deep in the forest, and if you see a red mark in the forest, it means that you have already gone deep in, and at this time, all you need to do is to withdraw as soon as possible! Just as Wang Kai finished asking his question, Xie Jie spoke out once again, and his words just happened to answer his question.

"Ugh!"

Hearing that, Wang Kai was startled, could it be that the other party had heard his words just now? Why else would it be such a coincidence?

Just like this, time slowly passed, and Xie Jie talked about a lot of important points that he had to pay attention to. Although it was a competition, all of these people were from Great Qin Dynasty, and if they died, it would be a loss to the empire.

Although we made some preparations, our Magic Beast Forest is still very dangerous, so no one can guarantee that there won't be any problems. Therefore, if anyone is afraid of death, it's still too late to leave! Xie Jie looked down at everyone and said.

When Xie Jie finished speaking, whispers started to spread out, but after a while, no one was willing to leave.

This was because this was a team competition. If one person left, then the other four members of his team would also be forced to leave.

Furthermore, they had gone through great pains to get to the Qin Lin Cheng to participate in the competition, as the competition had yet to begin.

"Good, since no one is willing to withdraw from the competition, then all of the City Lords listen up and take out the spirit tablet in your hands. The team that obtains the spirit tablet can depart since the competition has already begun!" Xie Jie said.

Ah!

When Xie Jie had just finished speaking, many people could not help but let out a loud shout. Evidently, they did not expect that the competition would actually start so quickly, and did not have any time to prepare for it.

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

Before many people could even react, the sound of wind breaking could be heard as a large amount of people quickly flew toward the city gates.

"Lu Feng, you guys be careful." Qin Feng reminded as he handed the spirit tablet in his hand to Lu Feng.

"It's the lord!"

Lu Feng lightly nodded his head, and then kept the spirit tablet.

This spirit tablet was a treasure that could save one of them at a critical moment. In the event of an irresistible danger, as long as this spirit tablet was crushed, a protective circle would appear.

Of course, this protective circle had its own range. If one met a level six or seven Demonic Beast, they could withstand it, but if one was unlucky and met a level eight or nine Demonic Beast, this protective circle would be useless.

At the same time, if the spirit tablet was broken, it would automatically be eliminated, so unless it was absolutely necessary, this spirit tablet could not be used.

"Let's go!"

After keeping the Spirit badge, Lu Feng spoke to Huo Wu and the rest, as he walked to Ji Bing's side.

Now that the competition had begun, Lu Feng naturally had to fulfill his duty to protect Ji Bing's safety.

"En!"

Wang Kai and the rest nodded their heads, then the group of five followed the large crowd towards the city gate.

Due to the large number of people, when Lu Feng and the other three successfully left the Qin Lin Cheng, the first group of members had already escaped until there was almost no one left.

"Damn, are all of you in a hurry to be reincarnated? Why are you running so fast?" Wang Kai looked at the people who were already far away, and could not help but mutter under his breath.

If there were no Spiritual Talisman Master in the team, their speed would naturally increase a lot, but for people like Lu Feng, unless they brought Ji Bing away, their speed would not be much different from running.

He could even use his strong mental power to fly freely in the air, but those who could at least reach the Symbol Sect level, and as for Ji Bing who was only at the Middle Level Spiritual Talisman Master level, his mental power was far from enough, and could not even increase his own speed by a little.
