Tianyu Star
The bomb! The bomb! The bomb!
Once every three hours, there would be successive explosions right behind Jie Yan flying.
The explosion came from the trap formation created by Xia Yue'er. Aside from that, the incision marks everywhere were also imprinted and it was made from a technique performed by Yun Che.
It had been more than two days that the disciples who had entered the competition moved with all their might towards the Ancient Forest.
“Backed! How could two such weak disciples always lead?” One of the peak stage Immortal Soul level disciples who was none other than the disciple of the Third Elder of the Sword Sect said furiously. During the journey he was hit by one Xia Yue'er trap formation and one qi blade planted by Yun Che.
Even the three Fifth Elder disciples almost vomited blood at all times out of frustration of not being able to catch up to Jie Yan and Yun Che who had always set traps.
The other geniuses who were behind were also nearly numb to what the two newbies who had only one year joined the Sword Sect had done.
The reason why the other disciples were numb to the two, Jie Yan and Yun Che did not seem to run out of strength at all even after making many traps.
To Jie Yan, it was understandable since the pure trap formation was performed by Xia Yue'er while she was only tasked with moving nonstop. If relying on camouflage qi and his own wings, he was very confident of being able to fly for a week without stopping. This was also because he had reached the level of the Eternal Soul. If he was still at the Eternal Gold level, he was only able to fly the stopping stage with his physical fitness for nearly three days.
As for Yun Che, it was purely due to the Eternal Sword Immortal Artifact of the Eternal Cloud. The other disciples did not know what exactly the sword was but if the top swordsmen saw it, they would not be surprised because from the start, they would not be surprised, The Eternal Cloud Sword could be moved relying on only a little qi because it was an Artifact that acknowledged its own master so that it could be moved with a little qi and rely on the mind.
Although the use of qi is a little, in fact it must be quite outrageous can be done for more than two days without stopping. Yet Yun Che was not a mere Cultivator. He certainly used himself to absorb qi while being silent on his own sword recovering his qi. That is why he was able to do that for a very long time even though he would be mentally exhausted if it lasted for almost a week.
In the row right behind the disciples of the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder, there was another figure who was none other than the disciple of the Second Elder. Behind him, the fourth elder's disciple followed.
They are both very strong. But not as stupid as the Fifth Elder's disciples. The two seized the opportunity as well, making the other disciples a living shield while they set up another trap stopping the disciple behind him.
And far behind the disciples of the Second and Fourth Elders, the disciples of the First Elder also followed. He was the one who looked the most relaxed at the moment. He did not try to take down the other disciples or make the other disciples into living shields.
“Quite tiring. Then, what did that Law Enforcement Hall Elder disciple do? Why is he in the back row? From the beginning he should have guessed what this competition means just like the two beginners.” The inner disciple of the First Elder when thinking of a certain figure gave him a slight goosebump but he shook his head and continued to move.
The First Elder disciple up to the Fifth Elder and also the Law Enforcement Hall Elder disciple took part in the competition.
But all the disciples thought that Jie Yan and Yun Che were aware of all the things about the competition. But the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall Elder and the First Elder clearly knew of it but both of them did not move directly and looked relaxed.
“It seems close. This time will enter the Ancient Forest region!” The First Elder disciple had a certain glint in his eyes. He was very confident that when he reached the location, at least half of the students who participated in the competition would be eliminated.
This was the reason the First Elder's disciple and the Law Enforcement Hall's elder disciple were not in a hurry. Both of them knew that if they wanted to reach the Ancient Forest, it was not as easy as it seemed.
“Jie Yan, look there! The trees look very strange. Besides, both sides of the forest are flanked by high cliffs and there is a very calm river flow in the middle of that forest!” xia Yue'er said as she immediately received a strange response when staring at something that was not simple.
Jie Yan thought back about the path map towards the Ancient Forest. There is such a place but there are no details.
Even the other disciples had checked each other's maps and were indeed only recorded about the dense forest flanked by two high cliffs as well as one river stream. Then at the end of the forest there is a lake that is quite large. Across the lake was the destination of the disciples who were none other than the outskirts of the Ancient Forest.
“This place is definitely what Jian Xu said that many spirit beasts will be a travel barrier.” Jie Yan said.
“Oh? It's just a spirit beast. Jie Yan, you can definitely control them right?” Xia Yue'er instantly remembered about the incredible Jie Yan technique that was capable of commanding spirit beasts.
“Yes, I do have it. But I don't want to show people this technique. Yue'er, you must know that a creature capable of doing that must be hostile to humans. It would be unwise to expose that power for now. I don't trust the Sword Sect too much.” Jie Yan said. He felt that when the ability was known, then the enemy who was after him must be more and more.
Right now his strength could not be considered strong, it still counted the strength of the lower tier in the Tianyu Star though.
“You're right.” Xia Yue'er's eyes narrowed slightly because from the beginning she did not like humans. But there were definitely exceptions, and naturally it was the people around Jie Yan.
This was the teaching that Xia Yue'er had received from childhood that humans were the most terrifying creatures. Although he did not understand why his father and mother said so, he must have believed him.
But for Jie Yan and Xia Yue'er to know for sure that it was true that humans were the most terrifying creatures with unlimited potential. And the most terrible thing about humans is their greed.
If Jie Yan were to display the abilities of the Beast God Supremacy, it would definitely be that many high-level cultivators wanted to try to control him. Even when he displayed the ability of the Belitan Qi King already many great powers were paying attention. What else is the ability to control countless spirit beasts.
If Jie Yan was able to control a peak spirit beast, then he would not have to worry. But he knew that his current condition was only capable of commanding the highest spirit star at the late stage Immortal Soul level, it might even still have a bit of resistance because an Immortal-level spirit star was not the same as a mortal-level spirit beast.
“No need to worry Yue'er. I've thought of a way to trick those spirit beasts into not attacking us.” Jie Yan said confidently.
Before Xia Yue'er responded, Jie Yan who had been close to the strange forest even narrowed his eyes because suddenly from within the forest, a single figure of an early stage Immortal Soul-level spirit beast lunged.
“Cih, really don't know yourself!” Jie Yan's inner self as he held his sword then spun at high speed while swinging his sword.
The sraing!
Srak! Srak! Srak!
The spirit beast instantly split into pieces in an instant then Jie Yan continued flying.
However, Jie Yan's eyes shrank sharply as his God Eyes had tracked down spirit beasts by an overwhelming amount, and their condition all seemed to be the kind of spirit beasts that were very fond of prey.
