Light Splitting Sword Technique, when cultivated to the fifth level, allows one to comprehend the Void Sword Technique. The sword light separates from the sword body, instantly striking any location a hundred zhang away! Such a level of swordsmanship cannot simply be described as fast; it subtly aligns with certain temporal and spatial rules, faintly touching upon the edge of the rule domain that can only be comprehended by a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint.
Of course, Ye Feng's Light Splitting Sword Technique has merely grazed the edge of the rule domain. There is still a long way to go before truly stepping into this realm. The reason he could achieve this early is that the Light Splitting Sword Technique, being an exceptional earth-level martial technique, is highly sought after even by practitioners at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm.
More importantly, Ye Feng had once reached the level of Gangwu Realm. Although he is currently forcefully sealing his True Essence, his comprehension of Martial Techniques and mastery over sword intent has remained at the level of Gangwu Realm.
The others present are merely Origin Martial Realm practitioners and cannot discern the true mystery behind this strike. They find it utterly astonishing and cannot imagine what kind of martial technique could produce such a miraculous sword move.
Equally bewildered is the Soul-Eating Evil Python. It possesses intelligence comparable to that of an ordinary person and had already devised a battle plan before surrounding Ye Feng and his companions. However, it did not expect that its tried-and-true move would be easily countered by that mysterious human swordsman.
The mysterious human swordsman hidden in the treetops had actually been noticed by the Soul-Eating Evil Python, but it did not believe that this person could save another human from a hundred zhang away in an instant. Thus, when that extremely strange sword light appeared behind it, it had no time to react and was directly cleaved in two!
Due to Ye Feng's limited cultivation, the power of this sword light was not particularly strong. If the Soul-Eating Evil Python had gone all out, gathering its gray evil mist to counter it, it might have been able to block this strike. However, all its gray evil mist was used to attack the front-facing Leihong, leaving no strength to defend against this blow.
With the death of the Soul-Eating Evil Python, the remaining Three-Headed Demon Lion Beasts were thrown into chaos and were quickly slain by Leihong and others.
After defeating all the beasts, members of the Demon Squad could no longer contain their cheers. When Ye Feng jumped down from the treetops, all team members immediately gathered around him.
Leihong, looking embarrassed, approached Ye Feng and clasped his hands together, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, Captain. I'm sorry; if I hadn't recklessly left the battle group, our team wouldn't have fallen into such peril."
He understood very well that after being controlled by the Soul-Eating Evil Python, he would temporarily be safe from life-threatening danger but would lose his sanity and end up helping the python against his own teammates. At that point, not only would he lose his qualification for further assessment, but he would also drag down other team members.
His strength was second only to Ye Feng among them. If he teamed up with the Soul-Eating Evil Python, the final outcome would be hard to predict. If forced to act secretly by disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, even if they saved their teammates, many might lose their qualifications for assessment.
Ye Feng smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "It's not your fault. If I were in your position, I might have acted similarly. Your intentions were good; after all, luring out a Demon Lion Beast from the battle group would allow your teammates to deal more easily with the remaining two. You just overlooked my warning about that Soul Beast. Most Soul Beasts possess incredibly terrifying speed and are notoriously cunning with considerable intelligence."
The terrifying combat power displayed by Ye Feng for the first time left all team members in awe and elevated his image as captain even further. Especially for female team member Wang Qin, her gaze towards Ye Feng was filled with shyness, her cheeks flushed with two rosy hues.
"The captain is actually this powerful! I initially thought you just had strong talent when I joined your Demon Squad. After all, passing seven types of Talent Assessment grants six chances for rescue. Being near you greatly increases our chances of survival," said the excited girl Wang Qin, unable to hold back her honest feelings.
The others present exchanged glances. Including Leihong, while they admired Ye Feng, they were not optimistic about the overall strength of the Demon Squad. Firstly, there was a hindrance in having a member like Bai Jing, who was at the first level of Yuan Martial Realm. Secondly, Ye Feng had not demonstrated particularly high levels of martial arts talent; during previous attacks by beasts against them, he had not taken action, so they were unaware of his true strength. Some even doubted whether his abilities surpassed those of Leihong.
They joined the Demon Squad hoping that when their captain faced insurmountable dangers, higher-ups from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would intervene in time to rescue him. This way, as team members, they too would benefit and escape danger during this trial.
After all, he was an unprecedented genius disciple who had passed seven types of Talent Assessment. They naturally assumed that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would not neglect his safety.
"You saying that really disappoints me. It turns out you didn't join the Demon Squad because of my enthusiastic invitation!" Ye Feng maintained his smile, not expressing any opinion on the matter, appearing unfazed. Instead, Bai Jing beside him complained with a sorrowful expression.
The others laughed at this, and with Bai Jing's teasing remark, the atmosphere among the team members became much more harmonious.
"After all, these are not ordinary beasts. The materials from these magical beasts and Soul Beasts are enough to exchange for some points. Although our goal is to survive, it would be great if we could earn some extra points as well." After some casual chatting, Bai Jing turned his attention to the four beast corpses on the ground.
Bai Jing's strength was not particularly strong, but he displayed exceptional talent when collecting materials from the beast corpses. With a certain talent for Refining Materials, he could be considered an apprentice Refiner. Most of the Refining Materials come from various magical beasts on the Divine Martial Continent, so gathering techniques are often the most basic skills for every Refiner.
As his knife danced like a butterfly over the beast's corpse, several intact materials quickly fell from a Demon Lion Beast.
Dissecting and collecting materials from ordinary beasts was not particularly difficult because their materials were relatively easy to gather, and most people present had experience. However, facing the previously unseen magical beasts, their completely different anatomical structures made collection incredibly challenging.
Good gathering techniques can completely strip away the most valuable materials from a beast's body. For example, the ten sharp claws on a Lion Tiger Beast's forelimbs are almost fused with the bone joints at their base. It is difficult for an ordinary person to distinguish between the claw's root and the bone joint; a slight mistake could significantly reduce the claws' value and result in fewer points earned.
What appeared to be a bloody and terrifying dissection transformed into a strange beauty in Bai Jing's hands. With simple strokes of his knife, he separated the pristine fur from the flesh.
Wang Qin, however, found no beauty in it at all. Watching Bai Jing focus intently on dissecting the beast's corpse sent chills down her spine. She couldn't help but think about what kind of pervert would be so obsessed with dissecting beast bodies to such an extent.
Leihong felt differently; he had killed various beasts before but often failed to gather valuable spoils due to his low skill level in gathering techniques. The incomplete materials he collected often frustrated material merchants who scolded him for wasting resources.
"Truly worthy of being a Refiner; it seems I need to learn from this kid properly."
Ye Feng observed for a moment before quickly losing interest and returned to scanning the treetops for any signs of movement.
The higher the rank of the magical beast, the more difficult it is to collect materials. The first Demon Lion Beast took Bai Jing nearly half an hour to process. Among the team members, only Leihong and another member who often hunted beasts alone stayed behind to observe and ask questions closely. The other members gathered in small groups to discuss insights gained from their previous battle.
The time spent gathering spoils was too long. After waiting for nearly an hour, Ye Feng saw that Bai Jing had just finished collecting from the second Demon Lion Beast and was heading toward the third one. He couldn't help but frown and said to Bai Jing,
"It's getting late. If we can't reach our base in time, it will be difficult on the way back. For the remaining two beasts, just collect some of the more valuable parts; there's no need to take everything."
Bai Jing was taken aback by this suggestion; although he felt somewhat reluctant, he nodded helplessly and began moving his collection knife even faster.
Due to the lengthy collection process, the silence in the jungle was finally broken again, but this time it wasn't due to another beast attack; it came from a Trial Team within Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Trial Disciples.
"Someone is coming!" Ye Feng promptly reminded.
In the survival trial, the most dangerous threats often do not come from the hidden beasts in the Trial Ground, but rather from the other participants in the survival trial.
No one dared to be careless. The members of the Demon Squad, who had originally been resting on the ground, quickly stood up and surrounded Bai Jing and the several beast corpses on the ground. Their meaning was clear: these beasts are our spoils, and no one is allowed to touch them.
Some team members felt a bit nervous; after all, the strength of the Demon Squad members was quite average among this batch of Trial Disciples, with most being at the mid-stage of the Origin Martial Realm, and only two being at the late stage. They all focused their attention on their captain, Ye Feng.
Ye Feng lightly leaped down from the treetops, landing gracefully. His steps were relaxed, and his expression calm, showing no signs of being disturbed by any potential threats.
His calm demeanor quickly infected the other team members present. Remembering Ye Feng's previously displayed extraordinary sword skills, their confidence surged, and their tension dissipated.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thirteen Trial Disciples soon burst out from the jungle. Upon seeing Ye Feng and the beast corpses on the ground, they seemed to understand something. However, they did not leave immediately; instead, they quietly stood a hundred or so yards away from Ye Feng and his team, watching intently.
A fierce-looking Bald Young Man pushed through the crowd and walked up to Ye Feng. After sizing him up from head to toe, he frowned and said, "You are Zhou Jun, who passed all seven Talent Assessments!"
