In the end, everyone handed over their spatial talisman treasures, leaving only the necessary talisman pens and other tools to craft talismans.

Lu Lin was naturally no exception.

In any case, there was nothing special in his Spatial Talisman Treasure.

In the current situation, the things prepared by others were no longer useful. This was actually a good thing for him.

“Since all of you are ready, the selection competition is about to begin!”

Chu Qingxue said once more, “All of you have the Talisman Master badges on you. If you want to give up the competition midway, you can call for help through it. We will naturally send you out through the Talisman Array!”

These words caused everyone’s tensed nerves to relax a little.

“Alright, let’s enter!”

Chu Qingxue casually waved her hand.

Instantly —

“Buzz!”

The talisman array that enveloped the entire Demonic Fiend Ridge opened up many portals.

Several participants immediately acted. They charged into the Demonic Fiend Ridge from different directions!

The others were unwilling to lag behind. They also took action immediately.

However, before entering the arena, some people could not help but gather together, wanting to join forces.

Regarding this, Chu Qingxue did not pay any attention to it. Clearly, the rules of the competition allowed it.

Even Lu Lin actually had people come over to rope him in, asking if he wanted to form a team with them.

Lu Lin swept a glance over, sneering inwardly. These fellows are truly laughable!

They were just mocking me for being cowardly, but now that they saw my strength increase at the last minute and they want to team up with me?

How shameless!

He rejected flatly and said, “I’m sorry, your strength is too weak. I don’t want to team up with you guys!”

After saying that, he walked over to Ling Xuan.

On the spot, Qiu Shoutao, Fang Jie, and the others who were rejected by him were all filled with anger.

Some of them even swore that if they met Lu Lin later, they would teach him a lesson!

Lu Lin ignored them.

These guys wanted to cause trouble for him?

They would probably be the first batch to be eliminated as soon as they entered the examination grounds!

Lu Lin only stared at Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan walked unhurriedly towards an entrance.

Lu Lin naturally followed him closely and chose the same entrance to enter the Demonic Fiend Ridge.

On the high platform, Chu Qingxue was once again surprised when she saw this scene. “Could it be that this youth is acquainted with Ling Xuan?”

She had specially come to a small place like Rong city from the imperial capital. Other than having some matters to attend to, another reason was that she wanted to dig up some prodigies.

Ling Xuan was one of the prodigies that she had paid close attention to in this competition.

She had been thinking of pulling Ling Xuan into her faction.

Now that Lu Lin had appeared, she had also noticed him.

Chu Qingxue waved her hand lightly.

The runic bracelet on her hand shone once again, forming a screen of light in front of her.

On the screen of light, all sorts of related information about Lu Lin appeared.

…

In the dark and cold mountain forest, Ling Xuan used his movement technique to move through the forest while looking at his surroundings.

At this moment —

“Brother Ling Xuan, wait!”

Ling Xuan suddenly turned his head and saw a contestant in a blue robe running towards him.

Ling Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned.

Because he recognized that this person was clearly the contestant who had a breakthrough in his cultivation the last moment before he came in.

However, he didn’t recognize this person, so why would the other party come looking for him?

Ling Xuan’s mind was full of thoughts.

His expression seemed to be extremely calm, but his eyes were filled with vigilance and alert.

He had no choice. This place was already dangerous to begin with, not to mention that he had offended some people previously.

They would definitely make a move against him this time!

Thus, he had no choice but to be on guard.

Even if this person who appeared at this moment was only at the fifth level of the Star Spirit State, he didn’t dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

Lu Lin had guessed the Ling Xuan’s thoughts, but he pretended not to know.

He only smiled as he arrived two to three meters away from Ling Xuan before stopping and asking, “Brother Ling Xuan, My name Is Lu Lin. Are you interested in forming a team to act together?”

Ling Xuan was a little surprised and asked, “Why did you think of forming a team with me?”

His current situation was not good.

Because he had offended a disciple from a big family before, he was now being targeted by the other party.

The others all avoided him, afraid that they would be implicated.

He really did not expect that someone would take the initiative to form a team with him under such circumstances.

Not to mention, they were already in the competition at the moment, and there was even competition between them!

Could it be that this person had other plans?

What Ling Xuan did not know was that Lu Lin was actually checking the download panel at this moment.

When he saw that the download speed immediately increased by a large margin as he was got closer to Ling Xuan, Lu Lin’s mood instantly became even happier.

Based on the current speed, the time it would take to download the three skills on Ling Xuan’s was directly shortened by one-third!

This gamble was right!

In fact, he had originally planned to quietly follow Ling Xuan and finish the mission silently.

However, he suddenly realized that even if he used all his footwork talisman skills, it would be somewhat difficult for him to keep up with Ling Xuan.

After all, Ling Xuan’s movement technique was of a high grade. Moreover, in the original plot, Ling Xuan was very proficient in movement techniques.

Helpless, Lu Lin could only stop Ling Xuan and prepare to change his strategy.

He naturally noticed the wariness in Ling Xuan’s eyes and understood this very well.

If it was him, it would also be impossible for him to trust a stranger under such circumstances.

However, he had already thought of a way to gain Ling Xuan’s trust.

The easiest way was to use the fact that he knew the plot.

Hence, Lu Lin said solemnly, “Just now, I accidentally learned some news that might be useful to you.”

Ling Xuan asked calmly, “What news?”

Lu Lin deliberately looked around and said, “Are you sure you want me to say it here?”

Being asked by him, Ling Xuan could not help but look around.

This place was not far from the entrance. Although the others came in from other entrances, the distance between the entrances was actually very close.

It was indeed not a suitable place to talk.

After thinking for a while, Ling Xuan said to Lu Lin, “Then let’s change to another place!”

“Okay!”

Lu Lin agreed readily.

In fact, he did not care about where they went or what they said.

He just wanted to buy some time so that he could complete the download.

Therefore, he just used his movement technique without saying a word and followed Ling Xuan.

Of course, he knew that Ling Xuan was very sensitive now.

Therefore, he tactfully kept a suitable distance from him as long as he kept downloading.

This made Ling Xuan slightly less wary of him.

Ling Xuan originally wanted to find a quiet place to communicate with Lu Lin.

However, this Demonic Fiend Ridge was not a peaceful place.

Not long after, the two of them encountered a group of powerful monsters and quickly changed directions to escape.

After walking for a while, they met some other contestants who were hunting monsters.

Ling Xuan also chose to avoid them.

Naturally, Lu Lin would go wherever Ling Xuan went.

After walking for a while, they suddenly encountered a group of monsters.

It was a group of medium-grade star-spirit state monsters that were as strong as cats and as hard as iron — iron-skinned demonic rats!

There were dozens of them!

When Lu Lin noticed them, he immediately dodged.

After all, these guys were not weak either. Their strength alone was equivalent to a human at the fourth level of the star spirit state.

With so many of them added together, he would be in trouble if he was not careful.

However, Ling Xuan’s choice was contrary to Lu Lin’s.

He actually charged straight into the rat pack!

Lu Lin saw that his body was like a phantom, and he actually moved freely within the densely packed rat pack.

The attacks of the rat pack couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.

From time to time, he even found an opportunity to make a move and kill a certain iron-skinned demon rat!

“This is the level four movement technique at great mastery level, Cloud Trace Footwork?”

Lu Lin watched Ling Xuan’s actions with interest. He was even more excited about the movement skill he was downloading.

He had no intention of making a move.

He would only make a move if some iron-skinned demon rats were blind and came over to attack him.

It was a good time to buy some time for the system to complete the download!

By the time Ling Xuan had finished killing these iron-skinned demon rats, more than half an hour had passed.

Lu Lin subconsciously glanced at the download panel.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that he had almost finished his download progress.

Task 1: skill “Cloud trace footwork (Great Mastery)”

Download Progress: 96..9%
