Ji Jin was startled and shook his head. "That one is even worse. He's far from being qualified to enter the inner sect. I'm sorry, Guardian Sima."
"Sect Master, you're exaggerating. I'm just doing my best." Sima Xi smiled, not surprised.
Many young talents in the Yanling Prefecture wanted to enter the inner sect of the Fierce Yan School. Every year, the number of candidates was extremely high.
Lu Family and Fang Family, the overlords of Green Smoke City, paled in comparison to the Fierce Yan School. After all, the Fierce Yan School was one of the top transcendent existences in the Yanling Mansion. It could be said to be a tripartite balance of forces with the Yanling Mansion and the Qiyue Palace. It was slightly superior to the Qiyue Palace and was only slightly inferior to the Yanling Mansion.
It governed fifteen cities to the south of the Yanling Prefecture. Every city of the Fierce Yan School was much better than the Green Smoke City!
In fact, the area where the Green Smoke City was located was a collection of small cities. Unlike the Fierce Yan School, every city was …
Both of them were giants!
Every year, the number of disciples joining the Fierce Yan School exceeded the total number of disciples from all the sects in the Green Smoke City.
Ji Jin's gaze fell on the light screen. Looking at Lin Feng, he said indifferently, "His battle performance is no worse than the inner sect disciples. Unfortunately, he's not at the Star Sea level. Otherwise, he's barely qualified to enter the inner sect. "
Battle performance was very important.
Some warriors could use 100% or even 120% of their strength.
However, for most martial artists, being able to display eighty percent of their strength was already considered pretty good.
Sima Xi smiled and said, "His name is Lin Feng. Sect Master, before I left, this little guy had already broken through to the Star Sea level."
Ji Jin nodded, not minding it at all. In his opinion, Lin Feng was barely qualified to become a candidate for inner disciple. There were too many of such seedlings in Fierce Yan School every year. With his status, he naturally had no time to care about such matters. He smiled indifferently, "Xia 'er, aren't you being too much of a bully by participating in such a small martial competition?"
Sima Xi smiled. "Xia 'er won the championship. Qianqian won the second place."
Ji Jin smiled faintly. This was within his expectations.
However …
"However, after the martial arts competition, Xia 'er and Lin Feng fought privately and lost," Sima Xi said casually.
"Xia 'er … lost to him?" Ji Jin frowned and pointed at the light screen.
"Yes, Sect Master. Xia 'er was defeated by a single move in the sparring match." Sima Xi said honestly, looking at Lin Feng's figure on the light screen, his eyes twinkling. "In terms of strength, this little guy isn't as good as Xia 'er. However, his intuition and ability to use his strength in battle are exquisite, which is quite shocking."
"Even so, there's no way he can defeat Xia 'er, right?" Ji Jin was stunned.
Among the younger generation disciples of his age, Ji Xia was ranked in the top ten of the Fierce Yan School.
"Xia 'er's indigo pupils were damaged and have yet to recover." Sima Xi shook his head. "Otherwise, no matter how strong this Lin Feng is, it would be impossible for him to win."
So that was how it was!
Ji Jin nodded in understanding.
Without the Indigo Light Pupil, Ji Xia was like a little bird with broken wings. He could only display twenty to thirty percent of his strength.
But …
Even so, it was still too shocking!
"When he defeated Xia 'er, he had just broken through to the Star Sea level and had yet to comprehend astral force?" Ji Jin's eyes deepened.
"Yes." Sima Ji nodded.
Ji Jin's eyes flashed as he pondered.
He had just broken through to the Star Sea level and had yet to comprehend astral force, yet he could defeat Ji Xia, who was a level four Star Sea level with third grade astral force control.
This Lin Feng was not simple!
"Have you tried to recruit him, Protector Sima?" Ji Jin asked.
"Yes, but … he's still hesitating and hasn't made a decision," Sima Ji said truthfully.
"Oh?" Ji Jin smiled.
"He doesn't even like the inner sect of the Fierce Yan School. This little guy called Lin Feng …"
"Interesting."
※ ※ ※
Chaotic Swamp.
After completely entering the Purple Swamp, Wei Hai was nervous and cautious.
If he was alone and entered with a level-2 Cosmic Sea State power, it would be a suicide mission.
This place was too dangerous!
There were endless mutated beasts, mutated beasts, and even all kinds of aggressive wood spirits. Wei Hai's nerves were tense, and a chill ran down his spine. He still remembered the dangerous scene just now. He was almost swallowed by a pitcher plant. Fortunately, Lin Feng came in time …
Otherwise, he would have died too unjustly.
"The Purple Swamp is really scary."
"I wonder what the deepest part of the Red Swamp will be like."
Wei Hai was curious. The deepest part of the Chaotic Swamp was the red swamp. Only martial artists above the Star Lord level could enter.
With his strength, there was no hope for him in this lifetime.
"Remember the terrain. I hope I can enter the Purple Swamp again one day." Wei Hai nodded.
This time, he had Lin Feng leading the way, but there would be no next time. However, this was undoubtedly a rare experience. Even if he didn't have the strength to enter, he could draw a map. Maybe in ten or twenty years, there would be outstanding juniors in the sect who could enter.
Wasn't this also an opportunity?
"However, this place seems to be the same as the Purple Swamp recorded in the sect's books …"
"It's not the same."
Wei Hai frowned and felt it was slightly strange.
The wood spirits here weren't "docile". Instead, they were very violent.
They were even more aggressive than mutated beasts!
…
"In less than half a year, this place has become like this." Lin Feng's eyes glittered as he thought to himself.
Even he did not expect that such a drastic change would occur in this place. The air was filled with an uncomfortable aura of death. Compared to the last time he entered, the swamp was even more barren and abandoned. It was a feeling that it lacked "vitality."
"Not only did the demonic beasts mutate, but the wood spirits also mutated."
"What exactly … caused this?"
Lin Feng pondered but couldn't find an answer.
He picked up the "white insect egg" on the ground. It was left behind by a mutated demonic beast.
It was slightly bigger than the white insect egg from the Ant Tide and had more energy.
He had already picked up a lot of them along the way.
"Keep it first," Lin Feng said.
He put away the white insect egg. These little things were great tonics and excellent food for Wing.
However, Wing was already full and didn't need them for the time being.
"I think the answer should be in the deepest part of the Red Swamp." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
He thought of the strange hurricane that swept them into the Red Swamp. It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands pushing and helping. It was as if they were telling him that the source was in the deepest part of the Chaotic Swamp!
However …
"It's too dangerous.
"Although danger and opportunity coexist.
"With my current strength, I'm afraid I'm still a long way from entering the Red Swamp."
Lin Feng nodded. Although he was confident, he wasn't blind.
As far as he knew, the Red Swamp was extremely dangerous. Only those who had reached the Star Lord level were barely qualified to enter.
Right now, with all kinds of wood spirits and demonic beasts mutating, and even mutated beasts born from the energy of heaven and earth becoming violent, the danger level of the Purple Swamp had more than doubled! It was easy to guess how dangerous the Red Swamp was at this moment.
It was definitely not something he could peek at now!
"I'll enter when I have the chance," Lin Feng thought with a determined expression.
For him, the most important thing now was to find that "hole" and the place with Spirit Qi.
After sending Xuan Er, Qi Yang, and Qi Yue safely back to the Fengyang Valley, he would have completed his mission. As for the rest, it was useless to think too much now. He could only take one step at a time and think about it in the future. Going with the flow, many things could not be forced.
…
Time passed day by day.
Although the terrain had changed greatly, the entire Purple Swamp seemed to have mutated like those demonic beasts.
However, Lin Feng still walked along the edge of the swamp and found the right path.
No matter how the terrain changed, the swamp would not "move."
Following this line, soon —
Lin Feng came to a familiar place.
"This is?!" Looking at the huge dilapidated tents in front of him, Wei Hai's expression changed drastically.
"The settlement of the Goumang Wizard Tribe." Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he looked around. Seeing Wei Hai's shocked expression, he couldn't help but add with a smile, "Once."
It was indeed once.
Because the valley in front of him was already "barren."
There was no aura. Only the tents were left. The totems of the Goumang Wizard Tribe were vaguely engraved on them.
However, there was not a single living Goumang Wizard Tribe member.
"Where … did they go?" Wei Hai asked in a daze.
"I don't know either," Lin Feng shook his head. His gaze was deep. "Maybe they went to the red swamp."
This place was completely different from the last time he came.
It was exactly the same as the dead silence that the entire Purple Swamp revealed. The settlement of the Goumang Wizard Tribe no longer had abundant Spirit Energy. It was like a deserted city. The deterioration of the environment forced the Goumang Wizard Tribe to "change." The mastermind behind —
It was him.
"Sure enough, as expected."
"This time, I didn't have to put in any effort."
Lin Feng smiled. Before he came, he was already prepared to fight with the Goumang Wizard Tribe.
However, it would be best if he could save some effort.
The Wizard Tribe also needed to cultivate.
Compared to humans, they were more dependent on the environment.
Sufficient Spirit Energy of Heaven and Earth could allow the Wizard Tribe's strength to increase rapidly. However, there was no Spirit Energy here. The "irrigation" was no longer magical.
It was only a matter of time before the Goumang Wizard Tribe left.
However …
His luck was not bad.
Looking at the ruins of the Wizard Tribe, Lin Feng's eyes were a little dazed. He could still remember the battle that day clearly. Thinking about it, he was in a sorry state. Fortunately, he had the life-saving technique, Wind Escape. Otherwise, he would have been torn to pieces by the angry Goumang Wizard Tribe.
The price was that the Wind Escape was temporarily in a state of "deep sleep."
It was similar to his Starry Sky Eyes. It had consumed too much energy and had yet to "awaken."
"If I fight again with my current strength …"
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. However, he shook his head with a bitter smile.
Perhaps he could win one-on-one. However, he did not have the strength to fight two hundred.
After all, the Wizard Tribe was extraordinarily powerful.
When Lin Feng saw Wei Hai touching the tent and the totem like a child, Lin Feng smiled faintly and was about to say something.
Suddenly — —
The heartbeat that he had not heard for a long time was heard again!
Lin Feng's expression changed.
