In the afternoon.
"All Star Card Masters, get ready and assemble at the square."
A vigorous voice, driven by the billowing Star Qi, resounded in every corner of the mountain where the cave was located like a clap of thunder.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless Star Card Masters rushed out on various mounts.
Luo Feng also walked out from the cave dwelling. As he gazed at the boiling land, the blood in his heart began to boil. The legendary Astral Genesis Utopia was truly something to look forward to.
"Let's go."
At the same time, Mu Qingluan also walked out of the small building. With a flash of light, she turned into her original form — a gorgeous Blue Luan.
Luo Feng was immediately attracted. He laughed dryly and said, "Sister Blue Luan, can you let me ride you?"
Mu Qingluan: "?"
Luo Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have a flying mount."
"We've known each other for so long. Let me have some fun."
Mu Qingluan rolled her eyes at him. She opened her colorful wings and circled in the air. Then, she floated in front of Luo Feng's cave dwelling and said, "Come on up."
Luo Feng climbed up quickly. His speed was simply too fast.
Then, the Blue Luan flew toward the square with Luo Feng on its back.
…
At this moment, the enormous square was already filled with a sea of people. As far as the eye could see, all of them were young figures. All of them were in high spirits and revealed vitality.
When Luo Feng and Mu Qingluan came out together, many people immediately looked at them.
Luo Feng was gentle and elegant, exuding a scholarly aura. In addition, he became famous in the semi-finals. With his appearance and strength, he attracted many fans.
In the crowd, Qi Xiao clenched his fists and his face was extremely gloomy. Even he had never ridden Mu Qingluan's original form. How could Luo Feng do that?
Whoosh!
At that moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out. Everyone raised their heads and looked over. They saw a red-crowned crane streaking across the sky. The person sitting on top of it was Deacon Han Xiang.
All the Star Card Masters looked solemn. Then, they cupped their fists and bowed solemnly.
Han Xiang nodded slightly. He stopped at the high platform in the middle of the square and said, "Everyone, the Astral Source Utopia will be opened for you tomorrow. This is a place of great fortune for the Yan Dynasty. Let alone new students like you, even the senior brothers and sisters in the Inner Sacred Land are drooling over it."
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire plaza instantly boiled over. The eyes of countless Star Card Masters were filled with unconcealable longing.
Even Huang Yan, who already had a girlfriend, could not maintain his composure at this moment.
Astral Origin Grotto-Heaven!
He had waited so long for this day!
In the glorious Yan Dynasty, there were countless sects, schools, and forces. The reason why all the geniuses wanted to squeeze into the Inner Sacred Land was because they could obtain resources that were unimaginable in the outside world.
Within the Inner Sacred Land, there were countless opportunities. If the Astral Source Utopia were placed in the outside world, it would definitely cause a bloody disaster. Countless super forces would fight to the death for it.
In the Inner Sacred Land, it was just a training ground for new students. It was a blessing for Star Card Masters.
Not only were there rare Star Card materials in the outside world, but there were also natural treasures that could speed up one's cultivation and even be reborn.
The eyes of all the Star Card Masters burned with passion. Even their breathing became hurried.
These new students were the geniuses of their respective families and forces. They were talented and ambitious. They were not willing to fall behind others, so they needed opportunities to improve their strength.
Han Xiang said calmly, "You must make good use of the Astral Source Grotto-Heaven this time. After managing the Outer Sacred Land for many years, I have seen many Star Card Masters with mediocre performances in the Freshmen League obtain opportunities in the Astral Source Grotto-Heaven and transform from grass into dragons. After reaching the Inner Sacred Land, they skyrocketed and soared to the sky."
"The Freshman League is only your first stop in the Inner Sacred Land. There are many exciting competitions waiting for you in the future, especially in the Inner Sacred Land. There are many geniuses and monsters.
"As long as you can grasp the opportunities and go through the trials, the next one to become famous and dazzling might be you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's blood boiled. They secretly clenched their fists, eager to give it a try. Although there were only a few people like that, why couldn't it be them?
Where the wind and clouds gathered, there was bound to be a hidden dragon.
Han Xiang paused for a moment before continuing, "There are countless opportunities in the Astral Source Utopia, but the greatest opportunity is undoubtedly in the Astral Source Hall."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Feng could feel that Mu Qingluan's eyes suddenly burned with passion.
Han Xiang said, "The Astral Source Hall is an ancient ruin. If you can pass the test inside, you will be able to obtain the corresponding reward.
"If you want to enter the Astral Source Hall, you will need four keys. These keys are scattered all over the Astral Source Utopia. Only by gathering all four keys can you open the door and find the opportunities in the hall.
"Therefore, I will divide the 101 of you into four groups. Each group will be led by an Inner Sacred Land Star Card Master. Your first task is to find the key to the Astral Source Hall.
"There are four mansions in the Astral Source Hall. If each group has a key, you can enter one of them. If a group finds two keys, they can monopolize the opportunities in two mansions.
"Next, all Star Card Masters will come forward to draw lots. Those with the same number will form a group."
Thus, all Star Card Masters went forward to draw lots. Luo Feng drew number one, while Mu Qingluan drew number three.
"It seems that I can't ride on your coattails." Luo Feng felt a little regretful.
Mu Qingluan chuckled and said, "You are a contestant in the finals. Even if we are in the same group, I should be the one riding on your coattails."
At the same time, Han Xiang waved his sleeve. Astral energy surged and four circles were drawn on the square, with the numbers 1234.
"All Star Card Masters will gather in the corresponding area according to the number you have drawn."
Luo Feng walked towards area one. At this moment, a figure flashed past in front of him. It was Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao glanced at him indifferently, then slowly withdrew his gaze. There was no change in his expression.
Han Xiang's gaze swept across the square. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, pieces of jade fell from the sky and landed in the hands of all the Star Card Masters.
"The opportunities in the Astral Source Utopia are limited, so it is inevitable that there will be competition between you. The higher-ups have tacitly approved of this and even encouraged you to compete, provided that no lives are lost.
"This is a teleportation stone. If your core Star Card Masters are all killed and you no longer have the ability to compete, you can crush this stone and be teleported out of the Astral Source Utopia.
"That's all I want to say. Gather here tomorrow morning. Senior brothers and sisters from the Inner Sacred Land will come and lead you to the Astral Source Utopia as the group leaders."
Hearing this, all the Star Card Masters' faces turned solemn and respectful.
"As you command, Deacon!"
Luo Feng also cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he leisurely walked along the mountain path and returned to his cave.
However, just as he walked out of the crowd and entered the mountain path, Qi Xiao's figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
Qi Xiao slowly turned around. His indifferent eyes carried a heart-palpitating coldness as he stared at Luo Feng. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Do you remember what I said to you after the semi-finals ended?"
Luo Feng nodded and said, "You said that you and Qing Luan might have a marriage alliance in the future. You hoped that I wouldn't get too close to her and give her some respect."
Qi Xiao stared at him and said, "Did you do it?"
Luo Feng raised his eyes and said, "First of all, you said that there might be a marriage alliance, not that she's already your fiancée. So, why should I listen to you?"
"Second of all, didn't you realize that it was always her who took the initiative to look for me?"
"If you're unhappy about this, then you should talk to her instead of looking for trouble with me. So, get out of the way, okay?"
Qi Xiao was startled. It seemed that he didn't expect that Luo Feng not only didn't evade in the slightest when facing his questioning, but also directly confronted him in a more direct and sharp way.
This made him quite unhappy. As the son of the Prince Of Qi, who dared to talk to him like this?
If Luo Feng's identity was higher than his, then it would be fine. But before this, he had already thoroughly investigated Luo Feng's background. This was just a street writer in a barbaric land. Because of his novel ideas, he was recognized by the Emperor Yan and got a chance to live.
He stared at Luo Feng, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I really don't understand. What exactly is the reason for you to have such misconceptions? How dare you speak to me like this? Just defeating Lin Yu and advancing to the finals is enough to make you so arrogant?"
"The person standing in front of you is the young master of the Prince Of Qi's Mansion. The Prince Of Qi's Mansion is one of the few super forces in the Yan Dynasty. Of course, this level, you may not be able to understand at all …"
Luo Feng's face didn't change. He said, "Oh, that's amazing."
"Since you're so capable, why don't you just kick me out of the Holy Land?"
There was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Or is it because your so-called background can't reach the Holy Land at all? You can only rely on yourself to come here and talk tough in front of me?"
"So, don't talk nonsense. If you don't like me, just use whatever means you have. That way, I will still respect you as a person. If you pretend to be arrogant and incompetent, it will only make me look down on you even more."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Qi Xiao's extremely gloomy expression and strode away, intending to leave.
Clap clap.
"Well said."
However, at this moment, a bell-like giggle, accompanied by applause, quietly sounded behind him.
Luo Feng was startled when he heard that. He suddenly turned around and looked over. He saw that a woman had appeared behind him without him knowing when.
The woman's appearance was also beautiful. Her skin was snow-white, her eyebrows were arched, and her eyes were almond-shaped. In particular, her black leather clothes perfectly outlined the curves of her body.
At the same time, the woman also walked over to Luo Feng with her slender legs. Her long and narrow eyes seemed to be moaning.
However, Luo Feng felt that there was a snake-like gaze in the depths of her eyes.
"Are you Luo Feng?"
The woman in front of him smiled charmingly. She lazily played with the Star Card in her hand. Her slender waist twisted as she said, "My name is Qi Muxue. I'm Qi Xiao's cousin."
"I'm also … the leader of this trip."
There was a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
