At the same time, in a place very far away from Lin Qian and the others, there was a very wide gully on the ground. Clearly, it had been dragged out by something that had hit the ground.
The spirit wood that had passed through the gully had been completely broken, and the starting point of the gully was completely filled with broken wood shavings. It was completely caused by something that had fallen from the sky.
In the hole at the end of the gully, the palace-dressed woman was standing in the center of the hole. Her clothes were disheveled. In addition to anger, there was also extreme heartache on her face.
The ice barrier that had suddenly appeared and blocked Zhao Long's spear for her hadn't been created by her own strength.
Instead, before entering this small world, her imperial father had personally engraved a talisman on her body. Once she had encountered a life or death crisis, this talisman would be activated to form a defense that would block a fatal blow for her.
There were many geniuses that had entered this Southern Association. Who didn't have one or two trump cards and some help from their elders?
This talisman engraved by her imperial father was the life-saving trump card of the palace-dressed woman. With her imperial father's strength, a life-saving talisman engraved by him was almost equivalent to a life in this small world. It was incomparably precious.
In her original plan, this life-saving talisman had already been reserved for the most critical moment. At the very least, after using this life-saving talisman, she would be able to obtain a valuable reward.
But the result?
This precious life-saving trump card had been pulled out by Zhao Long's spear just like that. In exchange, she was standing in the hole with her clothes disheveled.
Although the palace-dressed woman could still stand here alive because of her imperial father's talisman, the result was completely different from what she had imagined. It was unacceptable.
"That lowly servant girl unexpectedly has such powerful subordinates." Thinking of the situation at that time, the palace-dressed woman gnashed her teeth in anger. She wished that she could skin Lin Qian and the others alive.
But thinking of the armored man who had smashed her female attendant into a bloody mist with a single spear strike and activated her imperial father's talisman with a single strike, even causing cracks to appear on the talisman, she trembled with fear.
"A red light suddenly appeared on his body. He must have used some sort of mysterious soul skill to unleash such power. With just me alone, I definitely won't be able to do anything to him. Looks like I'll have to ask Imperial Brother for help. 'With that thought in mind, the woman in the palace dress flew into the air and left.
When the woman left, Lin Qian dove into the forest below. A huge soul beast was roaring as it charged forward.
The spirit beast was shaped like a black bull, and the two horns on its head were incomparably sharp. Metal-type spirit power condensed on the horns, greatly increasing its piercing power. This soul beast's sturdy body and muscular limbs were a clear indication of its strength.
However, Lin Qian had a firm grip on this soul beast's horn, preventing it from moving at all.
Even if its four hooves madly trampled the ground, sending soil and dust flying in all directions, it still couldn't break free. It also couldn't make Lin Qian's feet move in the slightest.
At this moment, Lin Qian was staring at the top of this soul beast's head. There was a black mark on it, and the appearance of that mark was exactly the same as the pattern on the back of his hand.
With Lin Qian's current cultivation, it was very easy for him to clearly see an insect on the ground from the air, let alone the pattern on the top of a soul beast's head.
This was also the reason why he suddenly swooped down into the forest and restrained this soul beast.
The strength of a soul beast was roughly at the Life and Death stage, and much more tyrannical than ordinary Soul Warriors. But compared to the geniuses participating in the Southern Meeting this time, it was nothing.
However, this bull-like soul beast wasn't simple. If ten of them appeared at the same time, many people would be exhausted from running for their lives.
The Iron-Horned Black Bull was a herd of soul beasts. Now that there was only one here, it was clearly separated from the herd. It walked blindly in this dense forest, constantly vigilant of its surroundings. Lin Qian, who had swooped down from the sky, naturally became its hostile target. It directly charged over, but was miserably subdued.
"Soul beasts also have pattern marks, but this Iron-Horned Black Bull only has one." After staring at the mark on the Iron-Horned Black Bull's head for a long time, Lin Qian's body suddenly surged with pure golden lightning soul power, enveloping his entire body in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Lin Qian also enveloped the Iron-Horned Black Bull.
The pitiful Iron-Horned Black Bull let out a miserable cry, and the fragrance of roast beef assailed his nostrils.
Lin Qian wasn't interested in trying the taste of this roast beef. Instead, he watched as the black light flew out from the Iron-Horned Black Bull's head and imprinted itself on the back of his hand.
The black pattern on the back of his hand added another stroke. What was different from the other patterns was that this one was clearly much smaller, and its appearance wasn't complete. It seemed to be only a part of a pattern, and was only one-twentieth of its normal size!
"Other than killing other participants and plundering their performance points, killing soul beasts is also a way to earn performance points." Seeing the changes on the back of his hand, Lin Qian opened his mouth and said to Ye Xin, "From the looks of it, this forest we're in right now is a place for us to earn performance points."
"Earning performance points, is it really that simple?" Hearing Lin Qian's words, Ye Xin looked at the Iron-Horned Black Bull that was roasted and emitting the fragrance of meat, and shook her head in disbelief.
Lin Qian smiled as he scratched the bridge of Ye Xin's nose, and said, "Of course it won't be so simple. Kill other participants and plunder their performance points. Kill soul beasts and earn performance points. Didn't I discover these two methods myself, but there weren't any hints. Perhaps there are other ways to earn performance points. "
"For example, on the path of battle earlier, the formation would condense words to give hints and explain the rules. However, there isn't such a thing now, and it seems like we have to discover it ourselves. "
"And most importantly, what are the conditions to pass?"
When Lin Qian said this, Ye Xin was also stunned. However, with her intelligence, she immediately reacted.
The conditions to pass the path of battle earlier were very obvious. Defeating the first three puppets would be considered a success, and they would be able to enter the pocket dimension. As for the performance points obtained after defeating the puppets, it was an additional reward for those who were strong enough.
From this, it could be inferred that this pocket dimension wasn't just a place for sect disciples to train, but the trials were also stacked one after another.
Since that was the case, if Lin Qian and the rest wanted to pass the second stage, they would definitely have to fulfill the conditions. However, what were these conditions?
"It might be that the more performance points, the better, but it might not be this condition. As for the specifics, we'll have to explore further." When Lin Qian said this, all sorts of animals and insects appeared around them, and they were all scouting beasts!
The densely packed scouting beasts had already appeared, and they immediately spread out, causing Ye Xin to be dumbfounded.
