Chapter 147: The Iron Wall of Wugai

The second assessment was supposed to be a combat skills test, but the chairman skipped it entirely and insisted on a real fight with Wade. The two moved to another open space.

The clearing was covered with fine sand to cushion falls and was enclosed by wooden fences. Outside the fence stood a row of weapon racks, displaying a variety of arms for practice, including wooden swords and training dummies.

The attendant handed over some feathered arrows with their iron tips removed; the arrowheads were just blunt pieces of wood.

"If that’s the case—"

"What if you suddenly die during the fight?" Han Feng asked, amused by the other’s righteous expression but remaining unfazed, countering with the question.

Qi Jingchen sighed deeply inwardly. Even Heaven disapproved of his grand ambitions, so it sent Yun Wanrong to oppose him. "If you want to try, then go ahead." After all, in this matter, he was the one who had fallen short and owed much.

Wan’er held Murong Yue tightly from behind, increasing her grip. The silver threads seemed alive, coiling tightly around Murong Yue’s neck and slowly burrowing deeper.

“Two elders, I have brought my disciple from the First Division. Please allow us entry!” The elder leading them spoke politely to the two old men guarding the valley entrance.

Ordinary people would find it impossible to continue their tasks under such scrutiny, but Su Sierzi was different. He believed that being watched at such moments was a true test of his manhood.

Yun Wanrong could endure it, but not everyone could. Even Han Xiao, who understood her well, was nervous and uneasy. The silence in Xihua Palace stirred other thoughts in some, like Chief Eunuch Liu.

“Elder, three sects have left in the past few days, one of which was a first-rate force with three late-stage Consolidation cultivators. Yet all were slain without a single survivor! Judging by the situation, the fight didn’t last long!” a disciple reported.

“Everyone gather together! Don’t give them the chance to pick us off one by one!” shouted a disciple of the Boundless Sect.

“Your Highness, the old madam of the Prime Minister Murong’s residence has arrived. She is kneeling outside the mansion, requesting to come and offer a public apology. Shall Your Highness receive her?” The White Steward knelt and explained the situation in one breath, then waited quietly for Ruitian Ling’s response.

When he heard that Sheng’er was injured, his first thought was whether someone intended to use this to frame Yun Zhaoyi.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean that. I misspoke…I meant that recently some ancient beings have disappeared. Have you seen anything?” The Crow Boss broke out in a cold sweat, sensing that the demon before him had murderous intent.

At this moment, Ye Feng no longer hid his cultivation. Taking a deep breath, he unleashed his full aura.

“Perfect, hiss…” He clenched his fist with excitement but immediately pulled at his injured spot.

He Shang, however, kept scheming to make some money, insisting that since they caught the vampire, they should at least get some hardship pay.

With a sharp sound of a sword in the void, the Five Elements Immortal Sword transformed into a streak of fiery meteor light and fell from the sky.

Zhang Ye gripped the spiral blazing flame, over half a meter wide, with one hand and charged toward the six-tailed rhinoceros dog. The intense heat distorted the air around him.

The green light suddenly took a heavy blow, crashing like a meteor nearby Ye Lei and the others.

Under Ye Lei’s cultivation, the healing power of the Moon Spirit Force had evolved from self-healing to being able to externally heal others.

The fleet personnel of the Human Alliance were truly the elite among all human forces. Their combat will and efficiency were unmatched by any other troops.

Only when the numbers had changed to fifty did Li Yi and the others feel some response from the bottomless pit.
