Spirit Through the Heavens

When everyone saw a person standing above them, 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 he could fly freely in the air, then he had to have the cultivation of the Spiritual Infant Tier.    

And even in the Great Qin Dynasty, those who had the cultivation of the Spiritual Infant Tier probably didn't even have a single palm, so even if it was a Core Formation Stage powerhouse, they were already one of the top figures in the Great Qin Dynasty.    

This time, the Genius Plan was able to have a Core Formation Stage powerhouse overseeing it; this was clearly the importance of the Genius Plan.    

"Hu!"    

Qin Feng looked at the middle aged man standing in the void, then he let out a light breath. His current cultivation base had already reached the Later Period of Spirit Gathering Stage, so he wasn't far away from the Core Formation realm.    

However, even if it was a peak Spirit Gathering warrior, he still couldn't guarantee that he would be able to reach the Core Formation realm. After all, the process of forming the core was extremely painful, and if he wasn't careful, his core would be destroyed and he would die.    

"My Lord, who is he?"    

Right at this moment, Lu Feng's voice rang out, and his reaction was much better than Qin Feng's. After all, he had seen a great battle between Spiritual Infant Tier warriors, so a Core Formation realm warrior wouldn't surprise him much.    

Besides, even the dignified Mayor of Great Qin Dynasty City had a Spirit Gathering Stage cultivation base, so there would definitely be more powerful warriors.    

Lu Feng guessed that there should be even a Spiritual Infant Tier warrior in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, but those kinds of strong warriors wouldn't easily appear in front of everyone.    

"His name is Xie Jie, he's the head guard of Great Qin Dynasty, and his cultivation has reached the Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage!" Qin Feng withdrew his gaze and said.    

"Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage!" Lu Feng nodded his head and said.    

Of course, at his age, reaching Middle Period of Core Condensation Stage was probably already the end. Unless there was an opportunity, otherwise breaking through to the Spiritual Infant Tier in this lifetime shouldn't be possible.    

"Everyone, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xie Jie, and I am the captain of the guards in Great Qin Dynasty. Under the orders of His Majesty, I am fully responsible for this Genius Plan's first test." Right at this time, Xie Jie, who stood in the air, introduced himself.    

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.    

"Head of the guards, My Lord, I wonder what the content of this preliminary examination is!" Just as Xie Jie finished his words, someone shouted boldly from below.    

In fact, everyone, including Lu Feng, was very curious about what the preliminary examination would be like this time. After all, the competition was about to begin, but they did not know anything. They were not prepared at all.    

"Don't worry. I will explain the points and content of the competition next. I hope everyone will listen carefully. I will only say it once. Whoever misheard me for not being able to complete the mission in the end will have to admit their bad luck! " Xie Jie said unhurriedly.    

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

With this little doubt, everyone's eyes fell upon Xie Jie.    

“ En!"    

Seeing this scene, Xie Jie nodded his head in satisfaction. Immediately after he cleared his throat, he said," This time, Genius Plan adopted a point system, just like the first test. The top ten will get the corresponding points. The first place will get ten points. The tenth place will get one point. Those who are not in the top ten will not get any points! "    

"The preliminary test this time is very simple. We will go to the Magic Beast Forest 100 kilometers away from Qin Lin Cheng to retrieve something. The top ten will get points. The time limit is one night. Those who are not able to return after the time limit will be eliminated!"    

" Oh!"    

Upon hearing this, many people nodded their heads in understanding. It turned out that the preliminary examination was actually so simple.    

"Is it really that simple?"    

However, Lu Feng didn't think so, because he didn't forget Xie Jie's last sentence. Those who didn't return in time would be eliminated.    

If it was really as they had imagined, then even if they were only Early Period of Spirit Movement Stage, they could still travel back and forth within the stipulated time. After all, a hundred kilometers was not much of a distance for a Spirit Movement Stage warrior.    

"Hehe!"    

Seeing the relaxed expressions on the faces of many people, Xie Jie couldn't help but laugh, because he was sure that these people with relaxed expressions didn't know what kind of place the Magic Beast Forest was.    

"As expected!"    

Lu Feng confirmed his thoughts when he saw Xie Jie's smile. It seemed like the real test was in this Magic Beast Forest.    

"Everyone, there are a lot of Demonic Beast in the Magic Beast Forest, and some of them are at least six Seventh Level or even eight Ninth Level. Of course, these high grade Demonic Beast are basically in the interior of the Magic Beast Forest. The thing you need to retrieve is only at the border of the Magic Beast Forest, so as long as your luck isn't too bad... I should be able to return alive!" Xie Jie said softly.    

When the noisy crowd heard Xie Jie's last sentence, the four Zhou An immediately quieted down.    

"Come back alive?"    

"Should?"    

Many people frowned at these words. Those with sensitive instincts had already sensed the danger.    

This preliminary test looked simple, but if it wasn't difficult at all, how could the number of people be reduced? If everyone had completed the competition, then what was the point of this preliminary test?    

After understanding this, many people started to ask My Lord, who was standing beside them, including Lu Feng.    

"Lu Feng, the border of Magic Beast Forest isn't very dangerous, but once we go deeper, we will be able to find the right place to enter. Even I don't have the confidence to come back alive, so you must remember this. Don't go too deep into the center of Magic Beast Forest. You can't enter that place as you wish! " Qin Feng reminded.    

"I got it!"    

With Qin Feng's reminder, Lu Feng nodded his head lightly. Even he wasn't confident that he could return alive. It was imaginable how dangerous that place was.    

"My Lord, how do we know if we went in or not? After all, we were looking for something. We might have gone in without knowing it!" Wang Kai asked.    

Indeed, when we first entered, we would realize that... However, once a person's attention was focused on something, he might forget about something else. If one accidentally entered the depths of the forest at that time, then it wouldn't be easy to walk out again.    

"Perhaps someone will ask how to differentiate if they have already entered the depths of the forest. Don't worry about that. We have already drawn a warning line in the forest. If you see a yellow mark in the depths of the forest... That means we're going deep. And if you see a red mark... That means that you have already entered the depths. What you need to do now is to retreat as soon as possible!" Just as Wang Kai finished his question, Xie Jie spoke once again. What he said just happened to answer Wang Kai's question.    

"Uh!"    

Hearing this, Wang Kai was somewhat stunned. Could it be that the other party heard what he said just now? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?    

Just like that, as time passed by, Xie Jie began to talk about many important points. Although it was a competition, these people were all from the Great Qin Dynasty. Once they died, it would be a loss to the empire.    

"Alright, are any of you willing to withdraw from the competition now? Although we have made some preparations, Magic Beast Forest is still very dangerous. No one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Therefore, if anyone is afraid of death... It's still not too late to withdraw now! " Xie Jie looked down at the crowd and said.    

When Xie Jie finished speaking, whispers immediately sounded from below. However, after a while, no one was willing to withdraw.    

Because this was a team competition. If one person withdrew, it meant that the other four members of his team would also be forced to withdraw.    

Besides, it wasn't easy for them to participate in the competition in Qin Lin Cheng. The competition hadn't even started yet, so naturally, no one was willing to withdraw from the competition.    

"Alright. Since no one is willing to withdraw from the competition, all City Lords, listen up. Take out the spirit plates in your hands. The team that has obtained the spirit plates can set off now, because the competition has already begun! Alright. Since no one is willing to withdraw from the competition, then all City Lords, listen up. Take out the spirit plates in your hands. The team that has obtained the spirit plates can set off now, because the competition has already begun!" Xie Jie said.    

"Ah!"    

As soon as Xie Jie's voice faded, many people couldn't help but shout out. Obviously, they didn't expect the competition to start so soon, so they didn't have any time to prepare.    

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"    

Before many of them could react, the sound of rushing wind could be heard. A large number of people were flying towards the entrance of the city.    

"Lu Feng, be careful." Qin Feng handed the spirit tablet in his hand to Lu Feng and reminded him.    

"It's My Lord!"    

Lu Feng nodded his head lightly and immediately put away the spirit tablet.    

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

Of course, this protection circle also had a range. If they encountered a Six Seventh Level Demonic Beast, they would be able to resist a little. But if they were unlucky enough to encounter an Eight Ninth Level Demonic Beast, then this protection circle would be useless.    

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

"Let's go!"    

After accepting the spirit tablet, Lu Feng said to Huo Wu and the others, while 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.    

" Mm! "    

Wang Kai and the others nodded their heads lightly. After that, the group of five followed the huge crowd and headed towards the city's entrance.    

Due to the large number of people, when Lu Feng and the others successfully left Qin Lin Cheng, the first group of people had already run away and almost no one could be seen.    

"Damn, are all of you rushing to reincarnate? Why are you running so fast?" Wang Kai looked at the group of people who had already run far away and couldn't help but mutter.    

If Spiritual Talisman Master was not in the entire team, then their speed would naturally be much faster. However, for people like Lu Feng, unless someone brought Ji Bing along to run, their speed would be no different from walking.    

Spiritual Talisman Master was very powerful when he was in the late stage. He could even use the powerful psychic force to fly freely in the air. However, those who were at least at the level of the Talisman Sect, like Ji Bing who was only at Middle Level Spiritual Talisman Master's level, had to be at least at the level of the Talisman Sect. Their psychic force was far from being able to do this. They couldn't even increase their speed a little.
