After dealing with the two of them, Jian Chen went up to the two Earth Saint Masters and removed their Space Belts. He then rummaged through their bodies, but he didn't find anything of value. Although the two of them were Earth Saint Masters, they still wore Space Belts instead of Space Rings.
Space Rings were extremely precious on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were a symbol of status and strength. Although Earth Saint Masters had the right to wear Space Rings, not every Earth Saint Master possessed one.
Jianchen glanced at Yun Zheng, whose clothes were dyed red with blood, and indifferently said, "Let's go back. You should treat your wounds as soon as possible. It's not safe to walk around with wounds." With that, Jianchen left the area and made his way back to the cave.
Yun Zheng watched Jianchen's figure slowly disappear into the distance. His face was filled with shock. The shock that had yet to recede from his eyes. The scene of Jianchen killing the two Earth Saint Masters had left an indelible impression on Yun Zheng.
"Sigh, is this a legendary genius?" Yun Zheng finally sighed after quite a while. He then moved his feet and followed Jianchen back to the cave.
When the two of them returned to the cave, Yun Zheng's blood-drenched body immediately attracted everyone's attention. Senior An, who had the best relationship with Yun Zheng, immediately stood up and furiously said, "Yun Zheng, which bastard injured you? Tell me and I'll rip him to shreds."
Yun Zheng smiled when he sensed the concern in Senior An's voice, "I was unlucky. When I was out hunting, I ran into two Earth Saint Masters who were slightly stronger than me. Fortunately, I ran into little brother Jianchen. The two of them were killed in a single clash by little brother Jianchen."
A gleam of light flashed through Qin Xiao's eyes when he heard what Yun Zheng had said. He stared at Jianchen in pleasant surprise, but there was also some doubt and disbelief. He asked, "Jianchen, is he telling the truth? What did you do to two Earth Saint Masters with just a picture? "Qin Xiao's voice was filled with anticipation.
The Zither Master was sitting to the side with her eyes closed. Her ears twitched slightly, but she didn't open her eyes.
Jianchen nodded slightly and did not deny it.
Qin Xiao's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He excitedly said, "Jianchen, when did you become so powerful? Although I felt that you were very powerful when we fought, I felt that you couldn't easily kill an Earth Saint Master."
"That's because I had successfully broken through to Earth Saint Master in just a dozen or so days after leaving the Tianqin clan," said Jianchen.
Hearing these words, the Zither Master's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. Her gaze was filled with astonishment as she looked at Jianchen. Then, she closed her eyes and remained motionless like a stone statue.
"I see." Qin Xiao was enlightened.
… …
Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, there was only half a month left until the end of the elimination round. During this half a month, Jianchen rarely went out. He spent most of his time in the cave, silently guarding Qin Xiao. The yellow-clothed girl had used the Sun Moon Bow to carve out another cave half a month ago. She lived there alone and silently cultivated. On the other hand, Yun Zheng and Doctor An went out every day. Many times, they would drag their injured bodies back. There were even a few times when they were chased to their 'home' by several powerful Earth Saint Masters, but it was Jianchen who helped them deal with them.
The great battle prowess that Jianchen had displayed had deeply impressed Doctor An and Yun Zheng. They were all Earth Saint Masters, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth. The Second and Third Cycle Earth Saint Masters were not Jianchen's opponent at all. As time passed, Doctor An and Yun Zheng unknowingly began to treat Jianchen as their pillar of support.
After so many days of rest, Qin Xiao's injuries had completely healed. Perhaps it was because of Jianchen's stimulation, but after recovering, Qin Xiao focused all of his attention on cultivation. He used the power of the monster cores to increase his strength, striving to reach the Earth Saint Master level as soon as possible.
The Zither Master, who had long since recovered from her injuries, was the same. Her words were as precious as gold. Ever since she had met Jian Chen, she had never spoken more than ten sentences. She was even more taciturn than Katafei, whom Jian Chen had met in Wake City.
In the dim cave, only the flickering flames of the bonfire illuminated the entire cave. The light flickered and flickered.
Jianchen sat cross-legged in a corner, a Class 5 Monster Core in his hand. He constantly absorbed the energy within to cultivate. Now that the Kingdom of Gesun was in great danger, the Changyang Prefecture would not be spared either. He urgently needed to increase his strength and could not waste a single bit of his free time.
The entire gloomy cave was affected by their cultivation. The energy that leaked out from time to time gathered in the cave, turning this very ordinary cave into a paradise.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. Jianchen's ears twitched slightly as he cultivated, but he did not make any movements.
The footsteps quickly approached as Doctor An and Yun Zheng walked in from outside.
"Jianchen, good news, good news! I just heard some rumors outside. It's said that in the southernmost forest, there is an expert's cultivation cave. There are countless treasures inside, and there is at least one Heaven Tier Battle Skill." Doctor An said eagerly, his expression incomparably excited.
When they heard about a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, the people cultivating in the cave all opened their eyes. Although they were all cultivating, they were all vigilant towards the outside world in this place. Nothing that happened outside could escape their senses.
Qin Xiao's eyes widened as he said in shock, "Heaven Tier Battle Skill? Is what you said true? Could it be that someone deliberately spread fake news and then set up a huge trap there, waiting for people to take the bait? "
Doctor An shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but there are already many people rushing there. It's said that even the Five Great Experts have gone there."
"Five Great Experts? What Five Great Experts? "Qin Xiao asked doubtfully.
"The Five Great Experts are the most famous people recently. At the same time, they are also the most powerful people. This news only spread recently, and now, there is practically no one who doesn't know about them." The one who spoke this time was Yun Zheng. He couldn't help glancing at Jianchen. He didn't know who was stronger between Jianchen and the Five Great Experts.
Jianchen's heart trembled as he asked, "Then what are the Five Great Experts called?"
"They are called Qin Ji, Dugu Feng, Tianmu Ling, Shi Xiangran, Jiede Wukang." Yun Zheng said.
Jianchen frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect him to rely on two treasures to become one of the Five Great Experts."
"Jianchen, do you think we should go or not?" Qin Xiao looked at Jianchen. Clearly, he wanted Jianchen to make the decision.
Jianchen muttered to himself and said, "Of course we should go." After saying that, Jianchen stood up and said, "There is no time to lose. Let's go now. In any case, there are only fifteen days until the end of the competition."
Afterwards, Jian Chen led Senior An, Yun Zheng, Qin Xiao, and the Zither Master out of the cave at the same time. Coincidentally, the yellow-clothed girl with the golden longbow on her back also happened to walk out of the cave she had dug.
"I heard that a Heaven Tier Battle Skill will appear in the south. We plan to go take a look. Are you coming?" Jianchen expressionlessly asked the yellow-clothed girl.
The yellow-clothed girl's beautiful eyes paused on Jianchen's face for a moment. In the end, she nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
"This time, we might meet an old friend. Be prepared," Jianchen said.
Then, Jianchen's group of six left the cave and quickly headed south.
Along the way, Jianchen also discovered that quite a few people were heading south. Along the way, they could hear about the Heaven Tier Battle Skill and the cultivation caves left behind by seniors. All sorts of discussions followed.
Almost all of these people were Great Saint Masters. Without exception, they all carried bags of various sizes. Their Space Belts had already been taken away, so the bags only contained some clothes and food. As for these people who had already lost their tokens, the Earth Saint Masters would not make things difficult for them unless there was some deep hatred between them. As a result, these people who were only Great Saint Masters did not have the slightest fear as they walked on the road.
Along the way, they would occasionally meet a few enemies who would come to blows. However, this didn't affect Jianchen's group in the slightest. The people who were able to survive until now were extremely clever. When they saw Jianchen's group swagger on the road with their Space Belts, they couldn't help but guess that Jianchen's group was definitely an extremely powerful group.
After five days of hurrying, Jianchen's group finally arrived at a lush forest. The number of participants carrying bags of various sizes gradually increased and the information they heard became more accurate.
"I heard that there are quite a few powerful Magical Beasts guarding the cave. Three of the five experts and over thirty Earth Saint Masters fought with them many times, but they all helplessly retreated. They were unable to approach the cave at all."
"Yeah. I heard that quite a few Earth Saint Masters have died in these battles. Only the three supreme experts of the five great experts are unscathed," Jian Chen said.
"The Magical Beasts guarding the cave are just too powerful. If this continues, I'm afraid that they won't be able to enter the cave even when the competition ends."
