An enemy of the people!
"Did you notice that these people's gazes were not kind?" Spiritshadow asked with a frown.
Xia Fei nodded, though he could not understand why those unfamiliar faces would suddenly have such killing intent toward him out of nowhere.
Seven or eight people were gathered under a large tree, whispering to each other as they stole glances at Xia Fei. They were about the same age as Xia Fei, and it was likely that this was their second time entering the collection reservoir to choose martial arts techniques, which meant that they were at least Rank 2 or above.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. The reservoir was a completely enclosed space, and it would not be a good thing if he was surrounded and attacked by several warriors who were of a higher rank than him. Even if he managed to survive, it would definitely affect his selection of martial arts techniques.
Moments later, the head instructor, Yu Luxuan, arrived at the dirt field. His gaze swept across the crowd, and with a light flick of his finger, a circle immediately appeared on the ground.
"In another 15 minutes, the collection sea will open. For most of you, this is your first time entering the collection sea, so I will reiterate the rules."
* Whoosh! *
A red orb of light suddenly appeared in Yu Luxuan's hand. He pointed at it and said in a deep voice, "Once you enter the collection reservoir, you will find many of these light orbs, and each of them contains a martial technique."
Pa!
The ball of light suddenly cracked like an eggshell, revealing a black metal piece.
"This is the memory that stores the Martial Techniques. As long as you immerse your consciousness into it, you will be able to read them."
Whoosh.
Yu Luxuan flicked his wrist, and four light orbs of different colors suddenly appeared in the air. They were red, purple, white, and yellow.
"Red is Level 1, Purple is Level 2, White is Level 3, and as for Yellow, it's Level 4. The Houhai's system will automatically recognize it, so unless the system determines that someone has the qualifications to learn a high level martial skill, the white and yellow balls of light will only appear. Of course, the system releasing a ball of light containing a high level martial skill is one thing, and actually obtaining it is another. It all depends on your cultivation."
"The only rule in the collection ocean is that there are no rules! It didn't matter if you used robbing or stealing, as long as you could get your hands on a battle skill, it was a success! There may be casualties, but as warriors, you must understand that this is the Law Realm! Danger is everywhere, and a warrior should get used to the smell of blood as early as possible. "
After a brief introduction of the rules, Yu Luxuan called the more than two hundred warriors who had entered the collection reservoir into the circle he had drawn.
"I'll open the Space-Time Gate and let you in. Once you enter the Empress Sea, no one will be able to come out within 72 hours. Good luck."
* Whoosh! *
With that, the warriors around Xia Fei began to vanish one by one. It was a miraculous sight.
The space beneath his feet suddenly became void, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Fei was transported to the collection reservoir.
Above his head was a bright starry sky, and the black earth beneath his feet was dry and hard. He was surrounded by mountains and strange rocks.
Xia Fei was very confused. This place was called the collection reservoir, so why was there not even a drop of water?
There was no one around him. The warriors must have been separated when they passed through the Time-Space Gate and were scattered in different locations.
Xia Fei smiled. Fighting alone was not scary, but it would be more of a headache if many warriors teamed up and engaged in a chaotic battle. After all, Xia Fei did not have many friends in the Yu family, and he was all alone, so he could only rely on himself.
Xia Fei reached the top of a mountain and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, a sky full of red light balls fell from the sky like a heavy downpour!
In less than a few minutes, the ground was submerged by these crimson balls of light!
Xia Fei suddenly realized that the collection reservoir was not referring to seawater, but to these energy balls of light that recorded martial arts techniques. It was an ocean formed by these balls of light!
Sliding down the slope, Xia Fei picked up a red ball of light from the ground and activated the Law of Space in his left hand. * Pa! * Xia Fei slapped it with his palm.
The Law easily shattered the ball, revealing a black memory card inside.
"Beginner spatial martial arts technique, Horizontal Slash." Xia Fei immersed his consciousness into it and read the name of the martial arts technique recorded in the memory card.
"Horizontal Slash? That sounds very domineering, "Phantom said excitedly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Fei actually threw the memory card on the ground, ignoring it.
"What are you doing?" Phantom was puzzled. He did not understand why Xia Fei would throw the martial arts technique away without even trying it out.
"Look at these red balls of light all over the mountain." Xia Fei pointed and said, "With such a large number, it's obvious that beginner spatial martial arts techniques aren't that rare. Yu Luxuan also mentioned earlier that there might be high-end martial arts techniques in the collection reservoir, so there's no reason for him to ignore the high-end goods and pick up these low-end martial arts techniques, right?"
Phantom nodded. "That makes sense. You're a speed ability user, so you'll naturally be more efficient than others in finding high-end martial arts techniques in the vast collection reservoir!"
* Whoosh ~ *
Move as you say!
Xia Fei used his speed ability and charged into the red sea!
…
Not long after Yu Luxuan sent the warriors into the collection reservoir, a screen appeared in the center of the dirt field. On it was a flat map, and there were a few smaller screens around it, allowing one to observe the warriors' movements.
Yu Luxuan and the other instructors, as well as the warriors who did not enter the collection reservoir, stared at the four lines of numbers on the screen.
"There are a total of fifteen rank 2 martial arts techniques this time!" An instructor said. "There are also two rank 3 martial arts techniques. Looks like there's someone with great potential among this batch of warriors."
"Rank 4! There's a rank 4 martial arts technique! "someone exclaimed from the crowd.
Everyone was shocked. The appearance of a rank 4 martial arts technique meant that there was one person among the two hundred warriors with extraordinary potential! That was why the system would release such a high-end martial arts technique!
"Who could it be?" an instructor rubbed his chin as he muttered to himself.
Yu Luxuan laughed. "No matter who it is, the collection reservoir's assessment will become even more exciting with the appearance of a high-end martial arts technique! It'll be crazy! "
"Move aside! Move aside! Let me take a look. "Yu Qiqi unruly pushed her way through the crowd and arrived in front of the screen.
"Miss Qiqi, why are you here?" Yu Luxuan asked.
"Why can't I be here?" Yu Qiqi straightened her slender waist and asked in return.
Everyone felt a headache coming on. Be it young or old, no one in the Yu family dared to provoke the little devil Yu Qiqi. This brat was unruly no matter where she went, and most of the people in the crowd had suffered from her pranks before. That was why nearly half of the crowd fled the moment Yu Qiqi appeared, and the dirt field instantly became a lot quieter.
"Eh? There really is a rank 4 martial arts technique! "Yu Qiqi said excitedly." There's going to be a good show to watch this time. "
With that said, Yu Qiqi took out a chair from her spatial ring and propped her cheeks with both hands as she stared at the screen, apparently not planning to leave.
'A rank 4 martial arts technique? No matter who gets it, they can't let it fall into the hands of the annoying Xia Fei! 'Yu Qiqi pouted as she thought to herself.
…
"Purple! A rank 2 martial arts technique! "Phantom exclaimed.
Xia Fei followed Phantom's gaze and sure enough, there was a purple energy ball in the crevice of a rock. It would be hard to notice if one did not look carefully.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei arrived in a flash and picked up the energy ball. He was not in a hurry to open it but instead hid it in his spatial ring.
"There seems to be an abnormal energy fluctuation over there," Phantom said.
Xia Fei crouched down and dashed in the direction Phantom had indicated.
Phantom was abnormally sensitive to energy, and he could sense the purple energy ball as long as it got close to him. In this race with the other warriors, Xia Fei had used his speed ability and Phantom's unique ability to gain the upper hand. In just a short half an hour, Xia Fei had already obtained six purple energy balls.
Before Gu Tong left, he had instructed Xia Fei to carefully choose the martial arts technique he needed and try out a few more. Xia Fei kept that in mind, so he was not in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos and tried his best to obtain high-grade martial arts techniques.
There were some small caves at the foot of the mountain, and there was a switch inside. Activating the switch would seal the cave's entrance, and no one would be able to get in. The warriors who had obtained the martial arts techniques could hide inside and wait for the reservoir to close. If they were being pursued, they could also hide inside. Xia Fei planned to use his speed ability to collect enough martial arts techniques in one go and then find a cave to slowly choose from.
The seventh rank 2 martial arts technique ended up in Xia Fei's bag. There were a total of eighteen high-grade martial arts techniques in the reservoir, and the more Xia Fei obtained, the less martial arts techniques the others would be able to find. In a short span of thirty minutes, Xia Fei had obtained close to half of the high-grade martial arts techniques!
"There's another abnormal energy fluctuation eighty miles ahead. It's different from the purple energy ball we found earlier. It's very likely to be a rank 3 or even rank 4 martial arts technique!" Phantom said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei was startled. He sped up and followed the direction Phantom was pointing.
He could hear battle cries from afar. All he saw was a white ball of light landing on a giant boulder. Around twenty Law Warriors were currently engaged in a chaotic battle around the boulder, seemingly vying for this precious rank 3 martial arts technique!
* Kaboom! *
A Law Warrior was sent flying by a powerful Law force, floating horizontally over Xia Fei's head and landing heavily on the ground. He let out a miserable wail, looking like he was quite heavily injured.
Xia Fei realized that these twenty or so people were split into two groups, with each group having a dozen or so people. This was a standard team battle, not a chaotic battle.
There was no time to think about it, for the opportunity was fleeting!
Taking advantage of the intense battle between the two groups, Xia Fei suddenly cut in from the side of the battlefield, moving as fast as lightning! He went straight for that white energy ball!
"Someone's there!"
Someone discovered Xia Fei the moment he entered the battlefield. Xia Fei did not stop moving, leaping onto a boulder that was over ten meters tall and reaching out to grab that rank 3 martial arts technique!
"Seal!"
In that instant, several bright threads formed into a cube, like a transparent glass cover, isolating that white energy ball!
"Spatial Shatter!"
Xia Fei's hand speed suddenly increased in midair! Using his Law force, he prepared to break the spatial barrier in one fell swoop and snatch the martial arts technique!
* Bang! *
Turning his palm into a fist, Xia Fei struck the spatial barrier with all his might!
To Xia Fei's surprise, the warrior who used the Spatial Shatter technique was actually of a high rank. Though Xia Fei's attack managed to shatter the barrier, he was still sent flying several dozen meters away! His entire body shuddered! His right fist was burning with pain!
Just as he stabilized his feet, he heard a sinister voice.
"That's Xia Fei! As long as I kill him, Qiqi will be his! "
"Qiqi?" Xia Fei was very confused. Why was Yu Qiqi involved in this?
"So it's you!"
"You actually dare to release an exotic beast to bite forty-ninth sis? I think you're tired of living! "
The warriors who were fighting all stopped and looked at Xia Fei with unfriendly gazes.
A young man with a full beard shouted, "Qiqi said that she'll marry whoever kills Xia Fei! Brothers, what are you waiting for?! "
Fanaticism!
Excitement!
The martial arts technique could be taken, but there was only one Yu Qiqi!
There was no lack of admirers of forty-ninth sis in this group, and when they heard this news, they were all gearing up to deal with Xia Fei!
