Under the scorching sun, even the leaves had withered.
A long corridor was covered in vines. Many mutants were standing there to avoid the scorching sun. There were men and women, and their ages ranged from ten to sixty years old.
Chu Feng and the others had arrived relatively late. Many people looked over.
"Is your family full of mutants?" a skinny youth asked. His eyes were especially bright like two golden lamps.
"No, I'm the only one," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
A fair-skinned youth with especially large ears sneered, "How old are you? You still want your parents to send you off? You still want to enter the Hollow Jade Temple?"
Many people in the corridor turned their heads and looked over.
Chu Feng really wanted to kick him. He had only spoken the truth, yet he was being belittled.
Zhou Yitian advised, "Everyone should be more harmonious. Who knows, we might have to work together in the future. We should support each other."
With that, he walked away with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Don't mind him. He's just a straightforward person who likes to speak the truth," the skinny youth with eyes like golden lamps said.
What kind of adjustment was this? The first half of the sentence could be considered as advice, but the second half was clearly belittling.
Chu Feng looked at them and said, "You two are singing the same tune. Such provocation, are you asking for a beating?"
"Youngsters these days are really impetuous." The fair-skinned youth shook his head. Even his large ears were trembling. They were really too big.
He was acting like an old man, which was infuriating.
Chu Feng really wanted to pull his ears and ruthlessly teach him a lesson.
Before he could speak again, many people let out cries of surprise.
"She's quite beautiful and charming. Aiya, she's at least thirty-six … E, right?" the skinny youth with eyes like golden lamps said in a low voice.
"No, it should be thirty-six … D!" The big-eared youth was also very excited.
Chu Feng could see that these two weren't good people. Their mouths were naturally in need of a beating.
Many people in the corridor turned their heads and felt their eyes light up.
That was indeed a beauty that was extremely eye-catching. She descended from the sky, her skin like snow, her long hair naturally wavy, her eyes charming, red lips like fire, there was even a pair of pure white wings on her back.
"At least I'm not late!" She lightly landed on the ground, patted her towering chest, and let out a long breath.
"This action … I'm going to get drunk!" The young man with big ears blushed, and he couldn't help but pat his shriveled chest.
"Beauty, it's not late yet. If you're worried, come and queue in front of me." The skinny youth with eyes like golden lamps was very enthusiastic. He let the girl cut the queue and introduced himself, saying, "I am Du Huaijin."
"Yes, you can line up with us." The large-eared young man was also very friendly. He also introduced himself, saying, "My name is Ouyang Qing."
Chu Feng completely lost his temper. These two wretched fellows treated their family of three like air and arranged for someone to cut the queue.
"That's not good, right? I'll just stand here." The woman smiled. She combed her curly hair, and her eyes moved about, making her appear even more charming.
Her snow-white wings had already been retracted. There were two gaps in the clothes on her back that were specially left behind. Right now, large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed.
At the same time, she smiled and announced her name: Ye Qingrou.
"Ah, you're Ye Qingrou?"
"Heavenly Wings Ye Qingrou, I didn't expect to see her in person!"
In the long corridor, a group of people immediately surrounded him. There were both men and women. Needless to say, the men's eyes were burning.
The surrounding women were also very excited. "Heaven's Wings Ye Qingrou, I really admire you!"
What was going on? Chu Feng and his family of three were also surrounded. Because they were next to Ye Qingrou, they had no idea what was going on.
Of course, there were also others who didn't understand. They only felt that Ye Qingrou was too charming, and didn't know anything else.
"Are you even Inhumans? Don't you pay attention to the forum? I've never even heard of Heaven's Wings, Ye Qingrou. She's the one who killed Lei Bao. Based on her battle record, she's one of the top 50 experts in the country! "
Chu Feng finally understood. He didn't expect this woman with a fiery figure and charming eyes to be so powerful.
However, he felt that the so-called "top 50 experts" definitely didn't take into account hidden existences like Buddha's Disciples and Lei Zhenzi. Those were mutants who had risen to power more than 20 years ago.
For example, Kong Kim, Silver Wing, Fire Spirit, and White Tiger were known as the "Four Great Masters". They didn't even consider the Hollow Jade Temple Master.
"Sister Ye Qingrou, you're not only powerful but also beautiful. You're even prettier than in the photos," a young girl exclaimed.
As for the group of men, they kept nodding.
Ye Qingrou had wavy long hair, fiery red lips, bewitching eyes, and a fiery figure. It was impossible not to attract attention.
"Brother, be more observant. Move two steps and let the beauty walk forward." Du Huaijin, a skinny young man with eyes like golden lamps, said to Chu Feng.
"Yes yes yes!" The big-eared young man, Ouyang Qing, nodded in agreement.
Now, Chu Feng wasn't angry at these two at all. He felt that they were too wretched.
Ye Qingrou was surrounded by people as she walked forward. She turned around and smiled at Chu Feng, "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. It's more pleasing to the eye to stand in front of me. Otherwise, I'd have to turn around!" Chu Feng laughed.
"..."
The group was speechless.
Ye Qingrou gave him a dirty look.
At this time, the last group of people arrived. There were about a dozen of them, and their leader was a handsome young man with a warm smile on his face.
"Eh, he looks familiar." Someone was surprised. Then, he quickly recognized him and whispered, "He's Chen Luoyan!"
The group of people turned around and looked at those people, staring at the young man in the lead.
"Chen Luoyan?" Someone asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's him. He's also in the top 50. I didn't expect him to come as well. It's going to be lively today. Two top-notch experts showed up at the same time!"
"Hello." Chen Luoyan was very polite as he greeted everyone. He had a handsome appearance and an amazing battle record. He was very famous in the mutant circle.
There were quite a lot of mutants in the country now. To be able to rank in the top 50 was absolutely amazing!
Because, on average, there were only two or three of such people in Shuntian.
"Brother Chen, are you also from Shuntian?" someone asked.
"No, I came from Tianjin," Chen Luoyan replied.
Everyone was shocked. Tianjin was at least three to four thousand miles away from Shuntian. The fact that he dared to cross the distance like this was enough to show his tyrannical strength.
In the end, a few female mutants politely asked Chu Feng if they could let Chen Luoyan line up a little earlier.
"No problem." Chu Feng waved his hand. It didn't matter if he let one or two people go first.
In the end, Ye Qingrou and Chen Luoyan were already at the front of the line.
As for Chu Feng's family, they were still at the back.
Wang Jing was a little dissatisfied. Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, thinking that it was nothing.
"Alright, time's up. Everyone, follow me." Someone walked over and invited the mutants in the corridor into a larger courtyard.
At this point, Wang Jing and Chu Zhiyuan could only wait outside.
This courtyard was very large. Surprisingly, it didn't feel hot at all. Instead, it was very cool because there was a pool of water that emitted an astonishing cold air.
The walls of the courtyard were old, and the place was empty except for the cold pool. It was very strange.
A female mutant smiled and said, "Although everyone is very enthusiastic, the Hollow Jade Temple is very strict in selecting mutants. Only those with extraordinary strength can pass."
She told everyone that they needed to jump into the cold pool and dive down to find the examination ground themselves.
"Do not force yourself. This cold pool is not ordinary. It is very cold. Staying in it for too long will hurt your body." She reminded everyone.
Everyone hesitated. Did they really have to dive down?
"What if we don't know how to swim?"
"That depends on your courage." The female mutant smiled.
Everyone pondered. If they had the strength, they should not encounter any danger. Even if they didn't know how to swim, they should still be able to reach the examination ground.
Plop!
As the first person dived down, the second followed. Soon, dozens of people dived into the cold pool.
Chu Feng also dived down. He was deeply surprised. This cold pool was indeed strange. The cold air was bone-chilling. Ordinary people would be frozen solid if they dived down.
He was a little suspicious. Was this really water? Why was it not frozen?
Along the way, some people could not bear it anymore. They hurriedly stopped diving because their bodies were stiff and their blood was about to congeal.
There were mutants watching from within the cold pool. When they saw that some people could not bear it any longer, they rushed over to help.
Chu Feng dived down slowly. Soon, he saw a hazy light on the stone wall. He swam over and found that it was transparent. It was as if there was a space within the light barrier.
He exerted a little force and his whole body squeezed into the barrier.
He was somewhat surprised that the water did not follow him in. It was very hot here. The ground was ablaze and there was even magma in the distance.
"Please continue forward." A mutant pointed out the way.
After walking through this scorching hot area, Chu Feng's clothes had already dried. He entered a vast space.
Was this an underground world or a folded space? Chu Feng was a little suspicious. This place was much larger than the Hollow Jade Temple above ground.
It was like a huge training field. It was incomparably spacious, without any light to illuminate it. However, it was not dark. Instead, the sky was dusky.
Many mutants had arrived and felt that it was strange.
There were only about thirty mutants left. Half of them had already been eliminated.
There were more than ten staff members here. All of them were mutants.
"The test is very simple. It mainly depends on your strength!" An old man with an imposing manner was staring at everyone.
He swept his gaze across the crowd and gradually revealed a smile. "Not bad. Ye Qingrou, Chen Luoyan, I know you two. You are very famous and have extraordinary battle records. The Hollow Jade Temple welcomes you."
Evidently, these two had long been noticed by the Hollow Jade Temple. They regarded them as rare seedlings that could be nurtured with great effort.
"I heard that there are special ability users in your group. For example, the clairvoyant and clairaudient. Have you all made it here?" The old man asked.
"Yes!" Du Huaijin stepped forward. His eyes were like two golden lanterns. Everyone immediately understood that he was the so-called clairvoyant.
"I'm here too!" Ouyang Qing stepped forward. His large ears trembled as he walked.
The crowd burst into laughter.
These two were clairvoyant and clairaudient? Chu Feng felt that something was off.
"Even if you two are not strong enough, I will allow you to join us." The old man laughed.
Everyone was extremely envious.
"It's alright. We just want to give it a try." The two were full of confidence. Evidently, they felt that their combat strength was not ordinary.
"The test is very simple. There are no empty words. First, we will test your physical fitness. After that, we will directly engage in combat," the old man announced.
The physical fitness test mainly focused on hearing, vision, speed, strength and so on.
Ouyang Qing was very terrifying. As expected of the clairaudient, he could actually hear the sound of a mosquito flying hundreds of meters away. This shocked everyone.
Ordinary people could only hear the sound of a mosquito's wings half a meter away. His hearing was hundreds of times better than others?
"You are worth training. In the future, I will give you some related mutant fruits. Who knows, you might really be able to hear sounds from thousands of miles away." The old man was very satisfied.
Ouyang Qing's large ears shook. He was very happy and said, "This is still not the limit of my ability!"
Chu Feng curled his lips. Although he had to admit that this guy was very strange and his hearing was frighteningly sharp, he still felt that he was vulgar.
"What do you mean? Are you not convinced?" The clairaudient Ouyang Qing saw the corner of Chu Feng's mouth curl up and immediately felt unhappy.
The crowd looked over.
"Isn't it just simple hearing?" Chu Feng did not come here to keep a low profile. He originally wanted to show off his strength in order to be valued by the Hollow Jade Temple. At the same time, he would be able to gain the Hollow Jade Temple's attention and ensure his parents' safety. At the same time, he would also be able to gain freedom like the White Tiger King.
"Eh, a challenge? If you can also have this kind of hearing, I will eat all the mosquitoes in that paper box hundreds of meters away. "Ouyang Qing stared at him.
"Good, just wait to eat the mosquitoes," Chu Feng said.
Three hundred meters away, someone replaced the paper box with a mosquito flapping its wings.
"Five mosquitoes," Chu Feng said. His sharp senses had captured the sound.
"Correct!" a mutant replied from afar.
The crowd was petrified. So powerful. Another clairaudient?!
"You … guessed it?!" Ouyang Qing cried out in shock.
"One more time." The old man was also deeply surprised and ordered his men to prepare.
"Six mosquitoes flapping their wings," Chu Feng replied again.
"Correct!" another person replied from three hundred meters away.
"Bring the paper box over." The old man was a little mischievous and really ordered someone to bring the paper box.
The clairaudient Ouyang Qing felt a headache coming on. He was riding a tiger and couldn't back down.
When the paper box was opened, he screamed in pain, "How can there be such big mosquitoes!?"
The paper box was very big and the mosquitoes inside were each an inch long. They were buzzing around.
How could he eat five of them? The big eared Ouyang Qing's face turned green!
"In the Hollow Jade Temple, if you bet, you must be willing to honor your words. Eat up." The old man smiled and urged.
The crowd was speechless. They felt that this old man was a little disrespectful, but at the same time, they were looking forward to seeing the world in chaos.
The old man was very attentive and said, "Don't worry, these are not real mosquitoes. They are man-made and the sound they make is similar to that of a normal mosquito. Eat them boldly."
"Plastic? They are so big, and you want to eat five of them? They are better than meat! "Ouyang Qing was on the verge of tears. Could this thing be digested?
Under the witness of the crowd, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He stuffed the mosquitoes into his mouth!
"You little brat, you even needed your parents to send you here. I didn't expect you to be so bad!" The clairvoyant Du Huaijin stared at Chu Feng and felt injustice for Ouyang Qing.
"Why don't we have a competition? The loser still has to eat the mosquitoes!" Chu Feng cast a sidelong glance at him.
Du Huaijin quickly shut his mouth at the mention of mosquitoes. He was afraid that he would lose and eat a few. Ouyang Qing was retching beside him.
"Don't vomit. Those are environmentally friendly materials. They can decompose automatically. At most, you will have diarrhea for a few days." The old man kindly reminded him.
"Ugh …" Ouyang Qing was so angry that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"If you don't dare to compete, then forget it. I didn't want to compete anyway." Chu Feng had a relaxed expression.
"Compete!" Du Huaijin blurted out. He felt that he might have been frightened by this brat's tricks, but he regretted it the moment he said it.
"Okay!" The old man didn't wait for Chu Feng to nod. He agreed first and was willing to be a witness.
Everyone was speechless. This old man wasn't a good person.
In the distance, it was pitch-black without light. One couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. A normal person wouldn't be able to see anything within a few meters.
However, the clairvoyant Du Huaijin's eyes were bright. He directly saw a few mosquitoes flying three kilometers away.
This kind of vision gave the old man a shock. He looked at him strangely and said, "Very good. In the future, when the fruit on that tree ripens, I will definitely leave one for you. I can't guarantee that you will become the clairvoyant of the legends!"
"It's your turn!" Du Huaijin smiled and looked at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was very calm. His divine instinct was fully activated. His eyes were deep and profound. Then, two beams of divine light shot out. In an instant, he saw a few spots on the wall four kilometers away.
"Five spots."
"Really?" The old man was shocked.
"Correct!" Someone informed.
The crowd was shocked. This greenhouse flower sent by his parents was actually so powerful?
Everyone was petrified, including Ye Qingrou.
The clairvoyant Du Huaijin directly hugged his head and squatted on the ground. He was on the verge of tears and said, "I don't want to eat mosquitoes!"
The old man consoled him, "It's okay. It can be broken down. Eat it."
Du Huaijin: "# ¥..."
This was only a small interlude. After these two people ate finger-sized mosquitoes, no one else dared to compete with Chu Feng.
Clang!
During the strength test, Chen Luoyan's whole body was golden, emitting a resplendent radiance. He lifted the thirty thousand jin cauldron above his head.
The crowd looked at Chu Feng.
He naturally walked over and directly kicked the cauldron. The largest cauldron, weighing thirty-seven thousand jin, left the ground.
Chu Feng's kick sent it flying ten meters into the air. The crowd was shocked.
By now, everyone knew that this was a terrifying expert.
During the speed test, Chu Feng ran two hundred and sixty-eight meters in one second, leaving Ye Qingrou in the dust. This once again shocked the crowd.
"Combat!"
There were thirty staff members on the scene. They were here to spar and test the strength of the contestants.
Peng, peng, peng …
Chu Feng did not hold anything back. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty mutants were all sent flying. Not a single one of them was left standing.
"What a monster!" A mutant clutched his chest and said, "As long as he can fight with one of us for a while, he will pass."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Chu Feng really did not know.
"Good, good, good!" The old man stepped forward. He knew that he had found a treasure. This person named Chu Feng was definitely stronger than the White Tiger King.
He looked at Chu Feng seriously and said, "You can become the leader of a team. You can choose some subordinates from this group."
"What I want is freedom and the guarantee of my parents' safety!" Chu Feng said calmly.
"No problem, but you can still choose some subordinates to do your daily work." The old man laughed.
"Alright then, you and you, follow me from now on." Chu Feng pointed at the clairvoyant and clairaudient.
"No!" The two screamed, their faces pale.
"Yes!" Chu Feng said.
"Big brother!"
"Boss!"
The two changed their expressions too quickly. They ran over with smiles on their faces, wanting to massage his shoulders.
