"Let's fight!" Knowing that escape was hopeless, the second man gritted his teeth and unleashed his marksmanship once more, spinning in mid-air to launch a counterattack.
"Not bad with the gun!" Ye Feng's praise sounded sincere, but it felt more like a blatant mockery, pushing him to unleash his full power. His Vital Energy was compressed through his Meridian to its limit; the continuous compression had caused his Meridians to bear the brunt of the Vital Energy's impact, and they began to crack.
"Water Dragon Gun Technique: Raging Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"
The spear he thrust out was enveloped in solidified Water Elemental Force, faintly transforming into the shape of a water dragon, fierce and imposing!
The final move of the Water Dragon Gun Technique required True Essence Power to execute. The second man was only at the Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm; although his Vital Energy was sufficiently thick, it was far from enough to perform this technique. He could only forcefully execute it at the cost of damaging his Meridians.
In his view, this desperate move could almost instantly kill any expert below the Gangwu Realm, but he did not realize that Ye Feng was definitely not among them.
"So it's True Essence Martial Technique. What a pity! If you had the cultivation of Gangwu Realm, this killing move might indeed threaten me. But now? It's merely for show," Ye Feng said dismissively, waving his hand. With his left hand, he pushed forward, unleashing three heavy strikes of Earth Elemental Power.
This palm technique was similar to Tide Sound Palm by Lei Tong but used pure Earth Elemental Power. With one strike, it manifested as a mountain-like illusion that met the charging "water dragon"!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The first mountain collided with the dragon's head for a moment before collapsing. However, this affected the water dragon's momentum significantly; after barely dispersing the second mountain palm force, the Water Elemental Force surrounding the spear shattered, reverting back to its original form and embedding itself into the third mountain palm force. The spear's tail shook violently, producing a buzzing sound.
"How is this possible! He actually caught my killing move barehanded!" The second man stared in disbelief as a third of his Meridians had already ruptured. His body could no longer support him, and he crashed to the ground.
"If I were just an ordinary Origin Martial Realm warrior, this move might have injured me. But what you don't know is that I was once an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm. Your pseudo True Essence Martial Technique poses no threat to me at all!" Ye Feng waved his hand and took back the spear, explaining with a smirk.
"Expert of the Gale Martial Realm!" The second man realized in shock but felt unwilling. "If you were an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm, why hide your cultivation? Were you merely trying to lure us into a trap?"
"You misunderstand. I said I was once an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm; now my cultivation is on par with yours. But none of that matters. You tried to kill me, so I naturally won't spare your life," Ye Feng raised his spear, ready to strike.
"I am a disciple of Ghostly Blade Sect! If you dare kill me, it will surely bring endless assassinations from Ghostly Blade Sect!" Faced with imminent death, even though he remained defiant, the second man softened and attempted to threaten him with Ghostly Blade Sect's notorious reputation. Although a third of his Meridians were damaged, he had only temporarily lost his cultivation; if he could escape into the mountains and find a skilled doctor for treatment, he might be able to restore his severed Meridians and regain his strength.
"Ghostly Blade Sect? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. If you're talking about your three senior brothers, don't worry, I will eventually make them meet you in the underworld." Ye Feng sneered, not wasting any more words. He thrust his spear like a dragon, piercing through the second one's chest and abdomen.
After killing the two, Ye Feng's gaze flickered uncertainly. He paused for a moment and summoned his Soul Thought to rummage through their bodies before flying towards the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
"These two villains must have committed numerous evil deeds in their lifetime; the silver on them adds up to a staggering two hundred thousand taels, and they even had three Common Origin Crystals." Ye Feng thought to himself with a sense of amazement.
From the two disciples of the Ghostly Blade Sect, Ye Feng had gathered quite a fortune. Just the silver alone exceeded his expectations, bringing his total back to five hundred thousand taels. It was indeed a significant gain.
What surprised him even more were those three Elemental Crystals. Back in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm, not even Tianyi Daoist had a single Elemental Crystal left in his storage bag. He never expected to find them on ordinary Origin Martial Realm warriors; it seemed that Elemental Crystals in the Eastern Continent were not as hard to obtain as he had imagined.
"Strange, Tianyi Daoist is also an Outer Sect Elder of the Beastmaster Sect, yet he didn't have a single Elemental Crystal!" Ye Feng shook his head, feeling puzzled.
What he didn't know was that Tianyi Daoist had been trapped in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm for too long, and all the Elemental Crystals he carried had long been consumed during his cultivation.
Aside from silver, Ye Feng found a Mid-Level Profound Combat Technique from the Sword-Wielding Disciple. However, there were no Supreme Technique manuals on the Gun-Wielding Disciple; only a small, unremarkable half-scroll painting.
The scroll was only about the size of half an arm and was rolled up with a painting rod. From the ordinary village scene depicted on it, Ye Feng estimated that this fragment of the scroll was less than one-third of the complete piece.
The incomplete scroll was tightly rolled by the Gun-Wielding Disciple and kept close to his waist. The material looked like neither cloth nor paper; it appeared smooth and tough. Although time had not left any mottled traces on the scroll, it was covered with an ancient aura that made him quite intrigued.
"It seems this item is definitely not ordinary. However, with only one-third of the scroll remaining, I can't even discern the full view of the village depicted within. It seems I need to collect all remaining fragments to understand it," Ye Feng thought as he felt a stir in his heart. He deliberately stopped and even tried to use his Soul Thought to delve deeper into it to uncover any hidden secrets.
"Soul Thought is actually being blocked!" Ye Feng was astonished; it seemed there was some strange force field protecting the incomplete scroll that prevented his Soul Thought from penetrating further.
After several failed attempts, Ye Feng had no choice but to give up. Just as he was about to put away the scroll, another thought flashed through his mind.
Vital Energy gathered at his fingertips; Ye Feng wasn't afraid of damaging the scroll and directly pointed at it.
Bang!
Vital Energy shattered, and the thin scroll showed no signs of damage at all!
Ye Feng was instantly dumbfounded!
At this moment, with just a finger's strength, he could pierce through metal and stone, yet he found that he couldn't leave any mark on this delicate scroll.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Feng drew his long sword and struck fiercely at the scroll.
The sword moved like the wind; with this strike, he exerted at least ninety percent of his strength. To his surprise, the scroll remained as resilient as ever, only slightly denting along the path of the sword.
The resilience of the scroll completely exceeded Ye Feng's expectations. However, he was overjoyed; this seemingly unremarkable scroll possessed such formidable defensive power. If kept close to his chest, it could provide an effect akin to being impervious to blades and bullets!
Only the scroll itself was somewhat bothersome.
Ye Feng picked up the scroll and examined it closely. He discovered that the scroll did not perfectly fit with the painting and was made of ordinary material—just common ancient paulownia wood. It seemed more like something that the Ghostly Blade Sect disciple had deliberately crafted for convenience after acquiring the painting.
"What a waste! Such a powerful defensive artifact is just rolled up and set aside by that guy. However, this scroll exudes a strange aura; no wonder that disciple from the Ghostly Blade Sect treated it with caution, fearing damage to the scroll!"
After removing the scroll, Ye Feng laid the painting flat against his chest and bound it to himself with a strand of Vital Energy before leaving in satisfaction.
With Ye Feng's speed, in just half an hour, he had already left the forest. The moment he stepped out of the woods, a vast expanse opened up before him. Not far ahead lay a series of majestic mountains, shrouded in mist, grand and mysterious, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"This must be Langya Mountain! It's many times larger than Mount Luoshen where Dragon Tiger Sect is located!" Ye Feng sighed. Back in Northern Jin Kingdom, he thought Mount Luoshen was quite significant; indeed, he had been looking at the world from a well.
The Mountain Gate of Heavenly Mechanism Sect was not hard to find. A prominent cluster of buildings at the foot of the mountain caught his eye. Ye Feng hurried over and joined the flow of people gathering towards the Mountain Gate area. He realized that calling it a Mountain Gate felt more like referring to a small town; its scale was nearly comparable to that of Luo City back in its day.
Mountain Gate was bustling with activity. The preliminary assessment had just concluded the day before, and today was the day for preparatory disciples to register for the Re-examination. Many young martial artists, despite not passing the preliminary assessment, lingered around Mountain Gate, hoping to acquire a Cloud Entry Token before the registration for the Re-examination began.
Some martial artists who possessed a Cloud Entry Token had successfully passed the preliminary assessment, allowing them to sell or give away their tokens. Those disciples who did not pass were hoping to find a bargain in front of Mountain Gate.
When Ye Feng first appeared, he did not attract anyone's attention until he pushed through the crowd and headed straight for the registration point for the Re-examination. Only then did people notice him.
"It seems like another preparatory disciple here to register for the Re-examination. His strength is impressive; I can't see through it. Could he already be at the mid to late stages of the Origin Martial Realm?"
"It should be. I can't gauge his cultivation level either, and he looks quite young. His Vital Energy compatibility must be extremely high; it's truly enviable."
"Such a Martial Arts Genius emerges every year in the entire Sky Abyss Empire. We shouldn't envy them; before true geniuses grow up, they are merely talents. Whether they become strong depends on their fortune. You all know that very few geniuses truly grow into strong warriors or even Martial Saints within a century."
Ye Feng remained indifferent to the discussions around him. Among the million young disciples who participated in the preliminary assessment, fewer than ten thousand had a Vital Energy compatibility of Sixth Rank or above. With such a high elimination rate, it was no wonder that he attracted attention as he walked directly toward the registration point.
However, there was some truth in what others said; before a genius matures, they must endure countless trials. Many talents perish during this process, and those who truly become strong or reach the level of Martial Saint are few and far between.
In the Eastern Continent, reaching the Gangwu Realm qualifies one as a strong warrior, while only those who attain the Xuanwu Realm can be honored as Martial Saints. As for the legendary Divine Martial Realm, it is highly esteemed on the Divine Martial Continent, where it bears Ye Feng's name.
Naturally, Ye Feng's goal is to reach the Divine Martial Realm, but he knows there is still a long way to go before that can happen.
