"Look, it's a segment!"
The sudden change in the Spirit Testing Tower attracted everyone's attention.
"This power, is it half-step Heaven Realm?" Nangong Bing sucked in a breath of cold air.
Qin Shi nodded and turned to Bai Xing and asked, "Brother Bai Xing, is this someone from your Mystical Palace?"
"Yes, it's our second senior brother, Lin Xiao." Bai Xing replied.
Hearing this, the few of them were slightly surprised. A half-step Heaven Realm was actually the second senior brother in the Mystical Palace?
"Then what about your eldest senior brother?" Qin Shi asked curiously.
"That's me!"
Before Bai Xing could speak, a slightly thin man stood out from the crowd. This man was exceptionally handsome, and the feather fan in his hand was gently fanning in front of his chest.
"It's the eldest senior brother of the Mystical Palace: Yan Feng!"
"Wow, he's so handsome!
So charming! "
"Yeah, he's so handsome, and his cultivation is so high. If only I could marry him, even if I have to live a few years less, I'd be willing!"
"Stop dreaming. Who knows how many nobles and socialites are waiting for someone as extraordinary as him. We won't even get a chance." As soon as the man appeared, a group of women beside him screamed in infatuation.
Compared to the women, the men were full of frustration: "Yan Feng is also participating in the Honor Competition?
Is there a need to compete? "
"I heard that even many elders of the Mystical Palace have to admit that they are inferior to him. It seems that this time, the champion position will belong to him."
"Heaven Realm?"
A few strands of mental power retracted around Yan Feng, and Qin Shi muttered to himself. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but be shocked when he actually met a Heaven Realm: "As expected of the number one in the Crimson Flame Empire. Compared to him, Burning Sky Sect is too far behind."
Bai Xing cupped his fists respectfully: "Eldest senior brother!"
"En."
Yan Feng nodded with a warm smile, and then shifted his gaze to Qin Shi: "You are the Shi Qin who killed three elders of the Mystical Palace not long ago?"
An invisible pressure enveloped Qin Shi from Yan Feng's body, causing the latter to snap out of his daze. "Hehe, are you trying to intimidate me?" He raised his hand to create an invisible barrier and replied, "I was just lucky."
"I know. If it wasn't for your good luck, how could you have gotten so close to our Hall Elder?
But no matter what, since it has already happened, I only hope that you can persevere for a few more rounds. When the time comes to fight with me, let me personally avenge the elders! "
"I will try my best to give you this opportunity!" Qin Shi said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you!"
Yan Feng didn't waste any more words and moved away from the crowd.
Bang!
The Spirit Testing Tower flashed again, and a ray of spiritual light suddenly rose, surpassing the top line by half a meter.
Nangong Bing turned around and exclaimed: "Another one!
Huh?
Only Mid Cryptic Spirit stage? "
"Spiritual Energy?"
Looking at the Spirit Testing Tower, Qin Shi focused and looked down. It was a woman in green, which surprised him: "It's her?"
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you know her?" Nangong Bing asked.
"Yes, I've seen her once."
Qin Shi replied, and looked at the woman in green. He turned back to Nangong Bing: "Oh right, Brother Nangong, in the Eastern region, are there any families that specialize in spiritual energy?"
"Families that specialize in spiritual energy?" Nangong Bing thought for a while: "I don't have any impression."
"That's strange."
Qin Shi lowered his head in confusion. When he fought with the woman in green in the forest, the latter's usage of spiritual energy was abnormally adept, especially the spiritual martial art that attacked him at the beginning. Without the inheritance of a large family, it would be difficult for a wild crane to reach that level of cultivation.
Of course, every time he thought of this, he would subconsciously ignore himself.
Taishi Tinghua took over: "I've heard of families that specialize in spiritual energy."
"Oh?
What kind of family is it? "
"I don't know. I've only heard about it from the elders in the family. It's a very, very old family. It's said that a hundred years ago, they were an existence that could rival the Mystical Palace. However, they have declined now, and there hasn't been any traces of them for a long time." Taishi Tinghua shook his head.
Qin Shi sighed bitterly. There was very little information about Taishi Tinghua, and he didn't even know the name of this family. He was still confused.
"Brother Qin Shi, what's wrong?" Nangong Bing asked.
Qin Shi shook his head: "Nothing." Then he fell into deep thought: "Could she be from that ancient family?"
In his curiosity, he looked up at the woman in green in the Spirit Testing Tower. The last time he saw her was on a pitch-black night, and now under the warm sunlight, Qin Shi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from the woman in green. This familiarity was real, as if he had seen her somewhere a long time ago, but he couldn't remember where.
"What place could it be?"
He couldn't help but focus. Ever since he left Desolate Town, Qin Shi's cultivation had increased rapidly. In addition to the improvement of his Spiritual Power and Sea of Consciousness, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had a photographic memory. However, the familiarity that the woman in green gave him was vague and hazy.
"Could it be before we left Desolate Town?"
In the midst of his confusion, Qin Shi let out a long sigh: "Forget it, the most important thing now is to save Sister Yu!"
Through the woman in green's Spirit Testing Tower, Qin Shi understood that the Spirit Testing Tower could also analyze Spiritual Power. This was a great advantage for him.
It was noon, and the large number of people had decreased sharply. Soon, it was time for Qin Shi and the others to test their Spirit Testing Tower. The first to go up was Nangong Bing.
"Brother Nangong, do your best." Qin Shi smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Haha, even if I can't take down the first level, I can still take down the second level!" Nangong Bing laughed and nodded, stepping onto the stage below the Spirit Testing Tower.
After all, there were four families, so it attracted a lot of attention.
"Lightning Fall Spear!"
Forming a hand seal, Nangong Bing faced the sky. She opened her palms and pulled out a lightning spear that was a hundred feet long. She charged straight at the point below the Spirit Testing Tower with all her strength.
Bang!
There was a loud sound, and the Spirit Testing Tower flashed with surging lightning. The surging Spiritual Power was like boiling water that shot into the sky, breaking through the red line that represented the qualification to participate in the competition. Then it was the third level, the second level, and finally, it stopped at the position that was infinitely close to the first level.
Shaking her head in disappointment, Nangong Bing retreated and said: "This level is indeed not easy to take."
"Watch me!"
The next one was Taishi Tinghua.
A blazing fire lotus bloomed, and the Spirit Testing Tower was activated once again.
Qualification: third level, second level!
However, just as the second level surpassed Nangong Bing, the spiritual light suddenly stopped. It was still an inch away from the first level.
"Hehe, aren't you the same?"
"I'm still better than you!" Taishi Tinghua glared at Nangong Bing with a drooping face.
The third one was Bai Xing. He stopped at the second level and walked to Qin Shi's side without a smile. "Shi Shi, it's your turn."
"Okay."
Qin Shi agreed. Just as he took a step forward, tens of thousands of fiery gazes pierced his black robe. Among them, there were a few familiar figures.
Everyone was very curious about Qin Shi's spirit test.
"What level do you guys think he can reach?"
"I don't know. If it's just based on strength, the second level should be the highest. Didn't you see that the people from the three great families are also only at the second level? He can't possibly surpass those monsters from the Mystical Hall, right?"
"That's true. I really don't understand. Did he participate in the competition just to humiliate himself?"
"Sigh, some people are just too full of themselves. They are always willing to equate their dog sh * t luck with their own strength. They don't know that they have become the laughing stock of others."
When they heard the discussions in the surroundings, the green-robed woman, Nangong Bing, Taishi Tinghua and the others snorted disdainfully. They knew very well that they mustn't judge Qin Shi based on his appearance. Otherwise, they would definitely be at a huge disadvantage. This fella's methods were extremely powerful.
When Qin Shi went up the stage and passed by Yan Feng, the latter waved his feather fan and mocked in disdain, "Haha, I want to see if your luck can continue to be heaven-defying this time and cause some problems to appear in the Spirit Testing Tower!"
"Not necessarily!"
Qin Shi replied with a faint smile. He stood in front of the spirit testing tower.
He didn't make a big move like the others. He only gently extended his five fingers from his sleeves. First, he gathered dazzling golden spiritual energy. Then, a formless purple halo rippled in the golden light.
The purple halo only lasted for a very short moment. Before anyone noticed it, it disappeared in the surging golden light.
Bang!
His palm pressed on the pressure point of the spirit testing tower. The entire place was silent as they looked into the distance.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a cannonball-like golden light soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the red line at the bottom and continued to fly forward without slowing down. Third level, second level. Just as he broke through to the second level, Mo Min mysteriously stopped.
Everyone widened their eyes and said in disappointment, "Tch, didn't I say he couldn't do it?"
"Not bad. Isn't he only at the middle stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm?
Haha! "
Nangong Bing and a few others who were familiar with Qin Shi also muttered in confusion, "Barely second stage?
That can't be. Brother Qin, what is Brother Qin doing? "
Mockery grew, and Yan Feng couldn't stop smiling.
But no one noticed that the corner of Qin Shi's mouth had unintentionally curled into a strange smile.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was an explosion. The golden light above the spirit testing tower suddenly cracked like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. A purple ball of light was born from within.
Boom!
The purple ball of light had just been born, and it climbed at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it had broken through the top section and was still rising.
"First, first stage?"
"How is that possible?
Didn't it stop just now? "
"It can't be, right?
Look, it has already surpassed Second Senior Brother Lin Xiao!
And it's still rising! "
The sudden explosion of the purple ball of light was like a slap to everyone's face. Yan Feng's mouth, which was almost dislocated from laughing, couldn't close for a long time.
At the bottom of the spirit testing tower, the two elders of the Mystical Palace who had been resting with their eyes closed couldn't help but raise their brows when the purple ball of light reached a certain height.
Nangong Bing and Taishi Xi Hua smacked their lips and smiled bitterly.
"You really like to show off!" The girl in green pouted.
"It's about time."
Looking at the position where he was almost five meters away from Lin Xiao and the girl in green, Qin Shi couldn't help but let out a long sigh and quickly retracted his force.
The moment his palm left the pressure point, the purple ball of light stopped moving.
"Gulp!"
The sound of saliva flowing could be heard below. Everyone stared at Qin Shi as if they were looking at a monster. This position had already reached a level that they didn't dare to imagine.
Most importantly, they didn't know that this was the result of Qin Shi's deliberate restraint. Otherwise, Qin Shi believed that it wouldn't be a problem for him to rise another ten meters.
But he didn't do so. After all, he was in the enemy's camp, and he had to leave some means to protect himself. To him, it was fine as long as he could reach the first stage and successfully advance.
"Is, is there really a problem with the spirit testing tower?"
Yan Feng came back to his senses and rushed forward angrily. He shouted at the two elders, "Elders, it can't be counted. This kid is cheating!"
The two elders glanced at Yan Feng and closed their eyes again without saying a word.
