Lin Feng nodded in understanding and smiled, "I see, that’s fine then, you don’t have to go outside every day to bring spirit herbs, senior sister, that way you can spend more time with me."
"Sorry to disappoint you, junior brother, but I will be spending more time with junior sister Huo Meiling than you," Xie Ruyue stated while smiling.
Huo Meiling was still clueless about what had happened, "What was the quality of that pill?"
"It was a peak tier pill," Lin Feng spoke, "Where should we go now?"
Huo Meiling got stunned hearing that, she had only seen two peak tier pill in her life... and brother Lin can create it casually.
Xie Ruyue thought for a moment before pointing towards another pavilion, "You two have to pass three battle tests to be qualified for leaving the sect on missions in 6 months, that pavilion is where you have to take those tests, let’s go and just try your first test... it doesn’t matter if you pass or not."
Lin Feng nodded, and they took a narrow route to reach another opening where a pagoda-type pavilion is standing in the middle. There were already some disciples nearby, some were resting, and some were warming up.
"This is the battle ranking pagoda pavilion, it is quite a special place, when you enter inside, the pavilion will put you into an illusion where you have to fight beasts of your realm.
Every win will increase the strength of the beast until you lose, there are 12 floors, so 12 disciples can take the test at the same time.
See those rankings, they are decided per realm."
Lin Feng and Huo Meiling looked at 6 pillars beside the pavilion, three on each side, they have shining names written on them from Foundation Establishment to Void Tribulation realm.
Lin Feng looked at the tablet showing Spirit Origin disciple rankings, and as expected, the top name belonged to Xie Ruyue.
Spirit Origin:
1. Xie Ruyue - (peak stage)
2. Ji Rou - (peak stage)
...
...
"Senior sister, can anyone see what happens inside?" Lin Feng asked, if not, then it would be perfect.
"No, your battles are totally private... after your battles are over, the pavilion decides your ranking by itself."
Lin Feng nodded hearing this, "So how can we be considered qualified, I doubt winning three battles will put us on the ranking."
"You don’t have to worry about that, after entering inside, you have to put your token on a designated spot, and once you win three times, your token will be engraved with a special mark, that will be proof that you have passed the test, also after passing the stage, you just have to say leave to leave without losing... go on, try, there is one spot empty."
Lin Feng nodded and moved towards the entrance, just as he was about to enter, a hand blocked him, "Can’t you see we three are warming up to enter?"
It was a disciple in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, his expression looked a little shocked at Lin Feng’s looks, it in fact fueled his rage more out of jealousy, before Lin Feng can even do something, a slap hit the disciple’s head.
PIAAKKKKK!
"See behind you fool, junior brother, you should go, don’t mind him," the disciple’s lips were twitching while maintaining his smile.
Lin Feng didn’t know what to make of this display, he shook his head and entered inside.
The disciple who got smacked in the head looked behind, and when his eyes met the calm eyes of Xie Ruyue, a chill ran down his spine.
...
After entering, Lin Feng came to a small chamber with enough space to only stand perfectly, there was a small table in front of him with a written information to put the token at the middle of the table.
He did so, and the token teleported away, and suddenly he was teleported away too.
When he was able to see, he was inside a grassy field, the grass was reaching to the height of his chest. This field was extended as far as he can see.
Suddenly, huge words formed in the sky...
FIRST STAGE.
Lin Feng understood that it was the start of his first battle, he knew everything is an illusion, his body is definitely real, but he won’t be able to use his battle sense to pinpoint the danger.
An illusion is just that, an illusion, it can never hurt him, he might feel pain if his mind is put in an illusion too, but that pain itself will be imaginary.
Although it was an illusion, and he can’t use his battle sense for pointing out danger, and this grass was quite long to hide the beast he was supposed to fight, he can still hear its movement in the grass.
This was enough for someone like him to pinpoint the location of the beast, and right now, it was too close to him...
"Hiiiissssss...."
A green snake lunged at him, and Lin Feng was ready, he easily caught its open mouth with both of his hands and tore it apart from the middle...
Its blood got splattered on him, it stayed on him for a few breaths before disappearing altogether with the slain body of the beast.
The environment changed, and big trees appeared all around him, the sky lit up again...
SECOND STAGE.
Lin Feng didn’t have to look for the beast, it was in front of him, his first battle was with an Early Stage Blood Awakening stage beast, and this one is also in the Early Stage, but a bear is far stronger physically than a snake.
It didn’t matter though, an open battle like this is too easy for him.
"Growwwl....." the bear charged at him at full speed and jumped at Lin Feng when it reached in range.
Lin Feng just took a step back while letting his body fall naturally, the bear missed him, and now Lin Feng was just below it while falling, the belly and heart of the bear were totally open for Lin Feng, and his hand was already moving up while being coated in spirit qi.
SLICKKKK...
Lin Feng easily punctured its heart before balancing himself by twisting a little, the bear’s body fell, and it lay motionless after a few twitches.
