Passing through the Bramble Forest depended entirely on one's own strength. No external help was allowed. In other words, the power of pills or pseudo spiritual artifacts were not allowed.
By the time Yuwen Xing recovered from the shock brought by the Mighty Marquis, he was already close to a kilometer.
A kilometer was one of the records he had set the last time he passed through the Bramble Forest. He wondered if he could break it this time.
His lightning-fast figure carried some ingenuity amidst its sharpness as he rapidly charged through the gaps between the four intertwining branches of the Bramble Forest.
This was one of the checkpoints of the kilometer mark.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, wanting to see if Yuwen Xing could pass through safely.
Yuwen Xing's heart became slightly nervous, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty. Last time, it was in the latter half of this place that he accidentally let a corner of his clothes come into contact with a thorny needle. As a result, he triggered the attack of all the thorny needles within a radius of ten meters. The dense thorny needles came from all directions, and there was no way to dodge them all.
This time, he had to pass through safely.
After calming himself down, Yuwen Xing used the Cloud Piercing Wind Movement Technique with all his might. His speed did not decrease, but his body made over twenty minute adjustments in an instant. Every time, it looked like he was about to touch the thorny needles, but he managed to dodge them by a hair's breadth.
Chen Zong's eyes didn't blink. His sharp eyes clearly saw the minute changes in Yuwen Xing's body. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was indeed a very shocking movement technique. It was known for its minute details.
There were many movement techniques in the world. Some only pursued extreme speed and did not have any unique points in terms of technique. However, some pursued extreme technique and abandoned other aspects.
However, some movement techniques had both speed and technique. For example, the Cloud Piercing Wind Movement Technique.
Techniques were just a big classification. There were even more detailed classifications. For example, whether one focused on illusions or other aspects. For example, the Cloud Piercing Wind Movement Technique focused on the minute changes.
Yuwen Xing nimbly leapt up and quickly landed. After breaking through the bottleneck last time, Yuwen Xing immediately felt that the sky was as high as the sea.
Martial artists had to compare themselves with others. To surpass others again and again, they had to surpass themselves again and again.
After a kilometer, the Bramble Trees became even more complicated and difficult. Yuwen Xing's speed was truly affected and decreased slightly.
At eleven hundred meters, the corner of Yuwen Xing's clothes could not avoid touching the end of a Bramble Needle. A scalp-numbing scene immediately appeared.
Within a radius of ten meters, countless thorny needles left the tree trunk and shot towards Yuwen Xing from all directions. The thicker ones were as thick as a pinky finger, while the thinner ones were as thin as a cow's hair. There were at least several hundred needles densely packed together.
Everyone wondered if Yuwen Xing would be turned into a beehive in the next moment.
In fact, even if Yuwen Xing stood in place without dodging or resisting, allowing the thorny needles to shoot at him, he would not be injured at all.
To an ordinary person, the Thorny Needle was indeed terrifying. It could easily penetrate a person's body and kill them. Even to a Blood Qi realm martial artist, it posed a considerable threat. However, to a Force Training realm martial artist, the Thorny Needle did not pose much of a threat.
This was especially true for Martial Artists who were at the Force Refining Realm and above who were Three-Star Warriors.
However, right now, it was best to avoid the thorny forest as much as possible.
In the blink of an eye, Yuwen Xing's expression changed greatly. With a low roar, a powerful inner strength surged out. His robe seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and under the powerful shock wave, it directly shattered the dozens of thorny needles that shot towards him.
However, the Bramble Needles were too fast. The second wave of over a hundred needles shot towards Yuwen Xing. Yuwen Xing shattered them once more. At the same time, he pushed his Cloud Piercing Windswept Movement Technique to its limit and quickly dodged.
To Yuwen Xing, the short distance of a dozen meters was nothing more than a blink of an eye. However, at this moment, under the dense barrage of thorny needles, his speed was greatly restricted.
His inner strength surged again and again, and the energy that was released would shatter the thorny needles again and again. This was a common method.
The power of his inner strength allowed the thorny needles to shatter before they even touched his body, preventing him from being hit.
However, activating his inner strength in such a manner consumed an astonishing amount of energy. An ordinary Training Stage warrior would not be able to withstand it for more than a few times. Even though Yuwen Xing's inner strength was astonishingly powerful, he did not dare to stop at all. He tried his best to increase his speed.
Pull one hair and the whole body will be affected!
After triggering the barrage of thorny needles in the Bramble Forest, he could no longer stop. If he stayed where he was, he would not trigger the other thorny needles, but he would stall for time. If he continued forward, he would shorten the time, but he would be continuously attacked.
Yuwen Xing had experienced this more than once. He advanced without panicking, trying his best to maintain a balance between his high speed and the surging of his inner strength.
Although three thousand meters was not long, it depended on the environment. The remaining one thousand meters was like a natural moat for many warriors. Of course, it was nothing for True Martial Realm warriors.
At fifteen hundred meters, Yuwen Xing encountered an even more concentrated barrage of thorny needles.
Countless thorny needles were shattered by the powerful energy and scattered in all directions.
Yuwen Xing once again experienced the feeling of being unable to move an inch. However, he did not give up. He continued to do his best. While doing his best to advance, he also constantly used the Cloud Piercing Windswept Movement Technique to dodge.
It was said that in the past, there had been Kingdom Scholars who had achieved breakthroughs in their movement techniques here. Yuwen Xing also had the same idea. He wanted to use this pressure to temper himself and achieve breakthroughs in his movement techniques.
However, his movement techniques had already reached a limit. If he wanted to break through, it would be too difficult. He could only try his best.
The closer he got to the finish line, the more Yuwen Xing felt his inner strength being greatly depleted. He had less than thirty percent left.
When he only had ten percent of his inner strength left, Yuwen Xing was even closer to the finish line. However, he had no choice but to use his remaining inner strength on the Cloud Piercing Windswept Movement Technique. Otherwise, he would not be able to break through in a short amount of time.
After removing the protection of his inner strength, the thorny needles would naturally land on Yuwen Xing's body. He could only use his movement techniques to dodge as much as possible. However, the thorny needles were too concentrated. The first one struck Yuwen Xing's shoulder and shattered, leaving a mark on his shoulder.
After being struck by the first thorny needle, Yuwen Xing was quickly struck by the second and third thorny needles.
The thorny needles were not weak to ordinary people, but they were nothing to Yuwen Xing. However, the more he was struck, the worse his results in the thorny forest would be.
On the final step, Yuwen Xing gathered all his strength and charged out of the thorny forest. In an instant, all the thorny needles stopped.
Yuwen Xing's face was slightly pale. This was caused by the exhaustion of his energy. Beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
When he returned, everyone could clearly see the thorny needle marks on Yuwen Xing's body. There were as many as thirty-one of them.
"In eighty-five breaths, I was attacked by thorny needles at eleven hundred meters. I was hit thirty-one times." This was Yuwen Xing's result in the thorny forest.
Yuwen Xing was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face. This result was a clear improvement compared to the last time.
Chen Zong was someone who had never tried the thorny forest before. Firstly, he was unfamiliar with it. Secondly, Yuwen Xing felt that Chen Zong's battle strength and movement techniques were inferior to his own. It was impossible for him to have a better result than him. In fact, it was even worse than his last result.
A pseudo spiritual weapon was about to be obtained.
Even though Yuwen Xing already had two pseudo spiritual weapons, no one would complain about having too many. Even if he could not use them, he could sell them or give them away.
"Chen Zong, Chen Guoshi, it's your turn." Yuwen Xing had a complacent smile on his face.
"Chen Guoshi, just do your best." Xiao Mingli said. She also did not think that Chen Zong could beat Yuwen Xing.
"Chen Zong, you can do it." However, Shi Huanyue said. She seemed to have a lot of confidence in Chen Zong.
Thinking about it, among everyone present, Shi Huanyue was the first to know Chen Zong. At that time, Chen Zong was only at the peak of the three-star level. Now, he was already at the early stage of the five-star level. He had also comprehended the Body and Sword as One that Shi Huanyue had never comprehended.
It had only been a little over two months.
In a little over two months, his battle strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He had directly soared from the three-star level to the five-star level. Comprehending the Body and Sword as One was simply a miracle. Therefore, Shi Huanyue did not think that it was impossible for Chen Zong to beat Yuwen Xing.
Nodding at Shi Huanyue and Xiao Mingli, Chen Zong strode into the thorny forest.
Even though he had never gone through it before, Chen Zong had a more direct understanding of the thorny forest when he saw Yuwen Xing rush through it.
He strode forward without stopping, directly entering the thorny forest. At the same time, the water hourglass began to count down.
Chen Zong used his full speed to rush through the densely packed thorny trees. It was as if he was riding the wind. In terms of speed, he was somewhat slower than Yuwen Xing from before. Seeing this, Yuwen Xing felt even more relieved. The smile on his face became even more obvious.
"At the beginning, his speed was like this. Later on, his speed became even slower. At least in terms of time, he can't compare to Yuwen Xing."
"It's very difficult to beat Yuwen Xing. The possibility is very small."
Immediately, many people shook their heads. No, Chen Zong didn't have much hope.
After all, this was how the thorny forest was. In the beginning, speed was the most important. Because at the beginning, there were the least number of thorny trees, making it the easiest to pass through. It was a race against time. The faster, the better. At about five hundred meters, the difficulty would start to show. At one thousand meters, the difficulty would start to increase.
After the difficulty increased, one's speed would be affected and become slower. No one was an exception. Even the Weiwu Marquis who had yet to break the record for fifteen years was the same.
In fact, it wasn't that Chen Zong didn't want to go faster. It was just that this was already his fastest speed without using his Wuzhen ability. Chen Zong also didn't want to use his Wuzhen ability that quickly.
Even though he wasn't as fast as Yuwen Xing in terms of absolute speed, he gave people the feeling that he was more graceful. It was as if he was riding the wind and was about to fly. There was an indescribable beauty to it.
Soon, Chen Zong arrived safely at the five hundred meter mark. The first difficulty.
Everyone was watching more carefully. In the past, most of the people who went through the thorny forest for the first time would be at a disadvantage here. They wondered if Chen Zong would be the same.
