Five days passed in a flash. Tomorrow was the day of the third round of the Inner Sect Selection.
Lin Xuan had mastered the basics of the Phantom Thunder Steps in these five days. His speed was almost one and a half times faster than when he used the Flickering Shadow Steps. Even if he met Duan Fei, Lin Xuan was confident that he could compete with him in speed.
"It's worthy of being called an Intermediate Profound Level Martial Art. It's so powerful just at the beginning!" Lin Xuan was looking forward to the results when he mastered it.
A quiet night passed.
The next day, Lin Xuan arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Field early in the morning to prepare for the third round. After him, more and more disciples arrived. They were all disciples who had passed the first two rounds. There were a total of 103 people.
Lin Xuan knew many of them. Beside him stood Tang Yu, Yin Qingyi, Luo Yi, and the others.
Everyone was chatting casually. Not long after, a few black dots appeared in the sky and quickly flew towards the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Ever since Lin Xuan's right eye fused with the black lotus, not only could it form a black vortex, but his vision had also become super good. He could see things very far away.
He raised his head and found that the black dots were large ships flying rapidly in the sky.
Rumble!
The three ships were very fast. One of them landed on the Martial Arts Practice Field, bringing with it a wave of air that caused the disciples to retreat.
The cabin door opened and three middle-aged men in purple robes walked out. The leader was the square-faced middle-aged man. He stood at the bow of the ship and looked down at the 103 disciples. He said loudly, "Line up and get on the ship. I'll take you to the third round!"
Everyone was puzzled. They didn't know where they were going, but they didn't slow down. One by one, they jumped onto the ship.
The ship was very big. Even with 103 disciples on it, it didn't seem crowded. Lin Xuan stood on the ship and looked at it curiously. He found that although the ship was made of wood, it was extremely hard. It wasn't something that a Meridian Condensing Realm cultivator could damage.
"Rise!" The square-faced middle-aged man ordered. The ship that was more than a hundred feet long shook a few times. Then, it slowly rose into the sky and flew away with the other two ships.
When the ship took off, the square-faced middle-aged man ignored the crowd and walked into the cabin.
The hundred or so people looked at each other, feeling uneasy. Furthermore, the ship was getting faster and faster, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. When the wind blew on their bodies, they felt a faint pain.
With the exception of some disciples with special body refinement techniques and those with profound strength, the rest of the disciples revolved their spirit power to form a protective layer around their bodies to resist the cold.
After all, Lin Xuan had practiced the Golden Jade Body Tempering Mantra, so he could withstand this kind of wind. However, Tang Yu and Yin Qingyi, who were beside him, had both condensed protective spiritual light around their bodies.
Under such strong winds, it was impossible to speak. Many people sat down cross-legged to cultivate. Lin Xuan had nothing to do, so he looked around curiously. Finally, his gaze landed on the neighboring ship.
The distance between the two ships was more than a hundred meters, but Lin Xuan could still see clearly with his right eye. He found that there were also some youths on the ships, but they were generally older than him. Among them, very few had activated their protective spiritual energy. They were all sitting in silence, wiping the weapons in their hands.
"Judging by their attire, they should be disciples of the Black Heaven Sect. Could they be inner sect disciples?" Lin Xuan guessed in his heart. However, he had no idea why these people wanted to travel with them.
After sailing for about six to eight hours, the ship gradually slowed down. Many disciples stood up, knowing that they were about to reach their destination.
In the last part of the journey, the ship slowed down, allowing Lin Xuan and the others to see the scene below.
However, the scene gave them a fright.
Below them was a city. To be exact, it was a city that had been destroyed. Half of the ten-meter city wall had collapsed, and most of the buildings in the city were almost destroyed. There were broken stones and bones everywhere, and there was also a glaring scarlet color.
"This …" The outer sect disciples were all stunned by the scene before them.
After a while, someone muttered, "This is a city that was invaded by demonic beasts! We have arrived at the frontline of the war! "
"What? The frontline of the war! "Many people exclaimed.
The Great Xia Kingdom was not peaceful, especially the areas that were in contact with the primeval forest. There were often wars, and Lin Xuan and the others must have come to a battlefield.
"We are so weak. How can we defeat those demonic beasts? Aren't they sending us to our deaths?" Someone said unhappily.
"Yeah, I don't want to be eaten by demonic beasts!" Many disciples said.
"Shut up, a bunch of trash!" Jiang Yulong said coldly in the crowd.
"I don't think the sect will send us directly to the frontline. Everyone, don't be impatient," Duan Fei said in a low voice.
Lin Xuan looked at the ruined scene on the ground, and his mood was slightly gloomy. This was a cruel world. The weak would be eaten, and only the strong could survive.
Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched, and he quickly turned around. The muscles on his body were all tensed up, and he stared at the sky with a serious expression.
A sharp cry rang out, shaking everyone's eardrums and making them dizzy. The outer sect disciples all channeled their spiritual power to resist. At the same time, a layer of light green energy shield appeared on the ship, covering the entire ship.
"So scary. What is that sound?" Everyone was shocked.
Whoosh! A huge shadow was cast on the ship, and a large gray bird that was more than ten meters long came to the top of everyone's heads and swooped down.
"Damn, it's an Iron-clawed Eagle! It's so big, it's already beyond the Pulse Condensation Stage! "Someone recognized the strange bird above their heads.
Boom!
The pair of silver claws hit the green energy shield, causing it to shake. However, the green energy shield was only slightly deformed, and then it was as good as new.
At this time, the cabin door opened, and a square-faced middle-aged man walked out. Behind him were two young men in their twenties.
"Evil beast!" The square-faced middle-aged man looked at the Iron-clawed Eagle above his head and snorted.
Then, a sword light lit up like a red waterfall, and instantly pierced the chest of the Iron-clawed Eagle, leaving a two-meter long wound.
Blood splattered in the air, and gray feathers fluttered in the air. The Iron-clawed Eagle screeched miserably, and quickly flew away.
"What a terrifying sword!" Lin Xuan looked at the square-faced middle-aged man with fear. The sword just now was too sharp, and it could almost kill a group of outer sect disciples.
After repelling the Iron-clawed Eagle, the square-faced middle-aged man said lightly, "I'm the person in charge this time. You can call me Elder Gu. This time, the content of your assessment is a battle, a real battle! "
"I will send you to a small battlefield. There are no demonic beasts inside, only some fierce beasts. Their strength is similar to yours, and your task is to kill these fierce beasts!"
"After you kill the fierce beasts, you need to cut off their left ears as proof. Finally, you will be ranked according to the number of beasts killed."
