At the bottom of the black lake.
It flickered with a faint light. It was neither dark nor midwinter.
It was covered with green algae, water plants, mud, and stones. The most eye-catching thing was where the light bloomed —
Tiny pearls.
They were bright and shiny. One could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary pearls.
These tiny pearls played a huge role in making the dull bottom of the lake shine.
There was not a single "giant fish" at the bottom of the lake. It was very strange, but it was unknown what caused it. And in the dense water plants, a figure covered in wounds was lying there. He looked like a dead person or hibernating. He did not feel anything at all.
Lin Feng.
No matter how strong he was, being in the center of the magnetic explosion, Lin Feng was still affected greatly.
Most importantly, Lin Feng did not have astral power to protect his body. Otherwise, he would not have been so badly injured. Even the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure, Moon Glass, was shattered. It was obvious how powerful the magnetic explosion was. If he did not have a near-immortal body, Lin Feng would not have dared to take such a risk.
His damaged skin was slowly recovering.
The eye-catching wounds had stopped bleeding long ago. The scars had faded.
Lin Feng's body was like steel that had been tempered for a long time. There were countless injuries.
If it were anyone else, dying a few times would not be enough.
After an unknown period of time …
"Ugh." With a soft groan, Lin Feng slowly woke up.
The fatigue of the body would also affect the human soul. Although Lin Feng had two souls, his Life Soul had been seriously injured in the battle with the Ten Thousand Withering Bones and needed to rest. Therefore, when he first entered the Purple Star Realm, he was directly knocked out by the strong impact.
At that time, he was already at the end of his rope.
But because of this, Lin Feng accidentally passed the first test.
Otherwise, with his "broken body," how could he withstand the cruel test …
In the Star Realm, one could not leave voluntarily. Either they completed the mission or they died in the Star Realm.
Therefore, it could be said that many things were actually predestined.
"Where is this?" Lin Feng opened his eyes. He was still a little weak.
Although his body had healed, the weakness of his human soul could not be recovered in a short time. Similarly, his body was not at its best.
"In the water?"
"This is … lake weed?"
Lin Feng brushed aside the algae on his body. He seemed to understand something.
It didn't matter where he was. The most important thing was what he should do now. It was quiet all around. There didn't seem to be any danger here.
But …
"What heavy water." Lin Feng felt a little surprised.
Having grown up in the Lin Family Village, Lin Feng was no stranger to water.
His body felt the intense water pressure, and his movements became much slower at the bottom of the lake.
"How did I get here?"
"After entering the Purple Star Realm, I fainted."
Lin Feng could vaguely remember the light at the very last moment. After that, he had no memory of it.
"Logically speaking, every Star Realm would have a mission or checkpoint."
"Did I miss it because I was unconscious?"
Lin Feng thought to himself and couldn't help but frown.
If he missed the experience notification because he fainted, he would be in trouble.
Indeed, Lin Feng had missed the prompt for the first checkpoint.
But that was not important.
Because he had already completed the mission in a daze.
"Forget it. It's useless to think too much."
"Since I'm here, I'll just take it as it comes. Since I'm here, I'll take a look around first."
Lin Feng thought to himself. His eyes flickered.
However, he didn't know that at this moment, his accumulator had increased by a total of 100,000 points.
It was the reward for the first checkpoint.
…
Outside the Yanling Royal Residence.
The people from Fierce Yan Sect were busy. The Grand Elder's brows were almost knitted together.
Seeing his disciples coming out one after another with almost all of them seriously injured, his mood was in a mess.
Although he had already sent someone to inform the Sect Master about Han Lu's last words, he couldn't do anything now.
He glanced at the scoreboard. At this moment, exclamations could be heard.
"Wow, that Lin Feng is up!"
"Really, I've never seen this name before. Who is he?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's a lucky newcomer."
…
The people waiting outside the Yanling Royal Residence had nothing to do. They stared at the scoreboard and commented.
Once there was a new martial artist ranking change, they would make a fuss.
…
…
"Why is the bottom of the lake so strange?"
"Although the lake water is heavy, it doesn't have heavy water pressure. It's suffocating."
Lin Feng walked at the bottom of the lake and pondered.
He picked up two pearls. They had a faint glow. The material was very special, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Oh, right!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He seemed to have thought of something. Instantly, he took out the identity token of the Yanling Royal Residence. At the same time, it was also a point accumulator. As expected, the moment the pearls touched it, they were swallowed. The light of the token flashed. Lin Feng was shocked.
"10,000 points?!"
The increase in the number made Lin Feng jump.
In the Fourth Heaven, he had spent a lot of effort and only earned 270,000 points. However, in the blink of an eye, he had gained 10,000 points!
"Wait." Lin Feng was stunned.
An increase of 10,000 points should be 280,000 points. However, it was …
380,000!
"What's going on?"
"Why did I gain 100,000 points for no reason?"
Lin Feng pondered, but he couldn't understand.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. He could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Then, he nodded.
"It should be related to the Purple Star Realm."
"Forget it. Instead of thinking about how he got it, I might as well pick up all these pearls."
Lin Feng smiled, his eyes filled with joy.
One pearl was worth 10,000 points. There were at least dozens of pearls at the bottom of the lake!
He had earned a lot!
…
"Look, look! It's amazing! "
In front of the rankings, all the warriors stared at the rapidly changing rankings with wide eyes.
They saw Lin Feng's name rushing all the way to the top, and the number of points kept increasing.
It was extremely fast!
"450,000."
"470,000."
"500,000!"
Everyone exclaimed one after another.
In a short period of time, Lin Feng had already entered the top ten of the rankings. It was as fast as lightning!
One had to know that those who could be ranked in the top ten were all outstanding figures among the 3,000 martial artists this time. All of them were the first to enter the Fourth Heaven through the Heavenly Stairway Battle. For example, Ru Meng from the Divergent Moon Palace, who was ranked first last year and first the year before that. Another example was Ji Qing from the Fierce Yan School, who was ranked second last year and third the year before that.
As for Lin Feng, because he led the team, he spent a lot of time in the Stairway Battle and wasted precious time.
However, many things were destined.
What he lost on the swings, he gained on the swings.
"It's still increasing!"
"Oh my god, he's going to be rich!"
"Did Lin Feng enter the Golden Mountain?!"
…
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Lin Feng's points increase steadily. In the blink of an eye, it had exceeded 600,000 points.
He squeezed into the top five of the rankings!
How amazing!
"Rise!" "Rise!"
Everyone's eyes lit up as they shouted in unison.
The originally uneventful wait instantly became lively.
Fourth place!
Third place!
Second place!
Lin Feng squeezed out Ji Qing, who was ranked second, and was only a foot away from Ru Meng, who was ranked first, with less than 20,000 points.
However, at this time, Lin Feng stopped chasing.
Points: 695569.
…
Wow! There was a sigh.
Everyone couldn't hide their disappointment. Seeing that Lin Feng was about to make a comeback but failed at the last step, they felt as if something was hanging in their hearts. It was extremely uncomfortable.
In the Yanling Royal Mansion, the Yanling Tribe, the Liyan Sect, and the Qiyue Palace had the most people. The three forces together accounted for nearly half of the people who entered the Yanling Royal Mansion. However, outside of the Yanling Royal Residence, most of the martial artists were the brothers and sisters of other martial artists, their fellow disciples, and so on.
The three forces, on the other hand, only had two or three little kittens. They wouldn't be bored like staring at the rankings.
Because they knew very well that at the end of the battle, those who could be ranked in the top few of the rankings must be warriors from the three forces!
"What's going on?" Wan Jinghun opened his eyes, which were shining brightly.
"Lord, a newcomer suddenly jumped to the second place on the rankings," the warrior from the Wan clan reported honestly.
"Oh, is that so?" Wan Jinghun said indifferently and closed his eyes again.
To him, and to the Wild Goose Feather Tribe, the rankings were of no use this time.
They only had one goal — —
Liyan Sect.
…
"Grand Elder, we have another disciple in the top three!" the Liyan Sect disciple said happily.
"Mm." The Grand Elder nodded indifferently and glanced at the rankings.
There were so many people cheering and it was so lively. How could he not hear it?
Originally, this was indeed something to be happy about. However, he couldn't be happy at the moment because he was worried about something. The Grand Elder didn't hope that the Liyan Sect disciples could get a lot of points. The most important thing was that they were safe. That was enough.
"Don't let anything happen to Lin Feng."
"You must be careful."
The Grand Elder thought in his heart and muttered.
…
…
31 pearls.
Lin Feng picked up a basin full of pearls and was very satisfied.
He gained a total of 310,000 points. Now, his points were close to 700,000.
However, this was a result that he didn't expect at all.
"It's about time."
"There's no light in the lake anymore. I should have finished picking up all the pearls."
Lin Feng looked around. His sparkling eyes weren't obstructed by the darkness at all.
"The bottom of the lake seems to be quite big. It's hard to finish all of it in one go."
"Let's go up and see what's going on with this lake."
Lin Feng pondered with a hint of curiosity.
He was at the bottom of the lake, but he couldn't feel the water pressure. This was a very strange thing in itself.
Lin Feng floated up slowly with a calm expression. He spread out his Soul Power. In this unfamiliar environment, Lin Feng was very cautious and didn't dare to be careless. He wasn't fast and the bottom of the lake was deep enough. However, the more it was like this, the more Lin Feng was shocked.
One had to know that the deeper the lake was, the more terrifying the water pressure was.
The power of nature was extremely frightening!
However, right now …
It was so strange …
…
He floated up bit by bit.
In the darkness, Lin Feng's eyes were shining brightly.
It was as if he was about to leave the bottom of the lake and could already see a faint light.
"I've got it!"
"This place is?!"
The higher he went, the more shocked Lin Feng was.
His body inexplicably trembled and his hair stood on end.
It was a warning of danger, a martial artist's instinctive fear of great power.
Even if he had overcome it in his heart, it didn't mean that the danger didn't exist!
Chi! Lin Feng broke out of the water.
In front of him, the light gradually brightened, and Lin Feng's eyes were even brighter.
"That is …"
