C124 The Forest of Life and Death
"Those who don't want to die, leave now."
Was there any danger to their lives during the second round of the examination?
Loong Yi's palm trembled, and the 108 war drums immediately sank down. Soon, they disappeared, as if they had never appeared. As for the information related to the second round of the examination, Loong Yi did not mention anything else.
"Those who fail, please leave. Those who pass the first round of the examination, those who are afraid of death, please leave." Loong Yi spoke in a dignified manner once again, causing the hearts of those who heard him to pound wildly.
Sure enough, the second round of the examination would take one's life. If one was afraid of death, it was best to leave.
Han Feng's heart trembled slightly. He did not know what kind of life and death examination the Hongtian Academy would use to choose a true martial artist with a strong heart of martial arts.
As for himself, if he was afraid of death, he would have been trapped in the illusion that was set up by the war drum a long time ago.
"I understand, it's the Life and Death Forest." A message flashed across Sun Tianwang's mind and he couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Life and Death Forest?" Han Feng muttered in a low voice, and then he looked around. The hall became empty. Most of the people had left. Only the geniuses who had passed the first round of the examination and their families had left. Only then did they stay.
However, very few of them left because of Loong Yi's words. After all, a genius who could produce seven or nine echoes. There was no doubt about his outstanding talent. Wouldn't it be a waste if he left just because of a single sentence? Furthermore, what if Loong Yi only scared them? If they were scared like this, wouldn't it make them laugh their heads off if word of this got out in the future?
"Let's go forward." Loong Yi said indifferently. Everyone immediately rushed towards the empty field in front of Loong Yi. Although most of them had left, there were still tens of thousands of geniuses left behind.
When they were scattered all over the venue, there seemed to be a few of them. However, when they gathered together, Han Feng still felt a sense of pressure.
"Very good." When Loong Yi saw the remaining geniuses, he revealed a faint smile on his face. These geniuses exuded an incomparable sharpness and vigor, making him feel as if he had become a few years younger.
"Head examiner, what is the second round of examination?" Someone asked.
"Life and Death Forest." Loong Yi said plainly, causing Han Feng to squint his eyes. Sure enough, it was the Life and Death Forest. Tianwang had guessed it right, but he didn't know what exactly was the Life and Death Forest.
"Life and Death Forest is a place where life and death cannot be found." An elder stood up and explained to the crowd, "This Life and Death Forest was built by several Expert of Astral Martial Stages and Rank Three Divine Pattern Master. Not only you, but also the Spiritual Martial Stage geniuses of the southeast. All of you will enter the ___ to test yourselves. "
"Distribute out the life and death tokens." Loong Yi ordered. Immediately, numerous tokens flashed out like flowing lights and fell into the hands of every genius.
A pitch-black tungsten metal token appeared in Han Feng's hand. The word "life and death" was engraved on it. Apart from that, there were also ripples of divine patterns being emitted from the life and death tokens.
"Enter. Apart from you, there are also Spiritual Martial Stage geniuses from Falling Pavilion, Wuyan Palace, Nine Saints Sword Sect, and other major powers. There might even be people from other major powers in main city. If you want to leave that place, you have to seize the tokens of the other geniuses. As for the other party, he will surely hold a grudge against you. In order to avoid future troubles, many people will use a method to eliminate the root of the problem. If you are not strong enough... It is very likely that your life will be left there. "
This elder said calmly, but it made many geniuses' hearts jump. Indeed, after entering, there were no experts from the clan present. Unless they were willing to give their tokens to their opponent... Otherwise, there would definitely be a great battle, with no eyes in fists and kicks, and no mercy in swords and sabers... It is very likely that you will leave your life in that place.
The Life and Death Forest was indeed a dangerous place. Anyone who entered it must have great courage and extraordinary strength.
Furthermore, those who were weak would most likely die in there.
"If a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight warrior encountered a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine warrior, wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Someone asked.
"A Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight warrior, could it be that he can't defeat a Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine warrior? What if you meet someone stronger than you in the future? Could it be that you want to ask me? "Loong Yi said coldly.
The person who asked the question felt a little embarrassed. Han Feng nodded in his heart. Hongtian Academy was cultivating a true expert. If it was someone who only wanted to seek the help of a powerful expert and seek the protection of a powerful expert... There was no way for him to enter the Hongtian Academy.
"Collecting 36 life and death tokens will come out automatically. The first 360 people to come out will be the students recruited this time." Loong Yi smiled faintly with a profound meaning.
"The second round will directly select three hundred and sixty people. Then, the third round of the examination... Could it be the ranking competition?" Han Feng asked in his heart. The fighting spirit in his body was once again condensed. The examination in Life and Death Forest seemed to be much more interesting than beating the war drums.
Since he had seen the Spiritual Martial Stage geniuses of Tianfeng City, he might as well see all the geniuses in the southeast. Han Feng had heard that they were similar to the Falling Pavilion and Nine Saints Sword Sect. These geniuses... They had spirit grade Martial Technique and carried terrifying Ordinary Weapon and spirit weapons. If they encountered someone who comprehended a powerful martial intent, it would be extremely terrifying.
However, the more terrifying it was, the more Han Feng was filled with anticipation. If he wanted to condense the strongest Vital Energy, he would have to go through more training when he was at the High Level of the Spiritual Martial Stage.
"Alright, all of you can go now. Remember, all kinds of techniques can be used in the Life and Death Forest." Loong Yi instructed. Many of them looked slightly relieved. Each of them had a treasure given to them by their family. If they could use it during an emergency. It should be able to save their lives.
Loong Yi turned around and looked at all the elders present, exchanging glances with each other. All of them had a confident look on their faces. Entering the Life and Death Forest would definitely make a lot of talented geniuses sacrifice themselves. However, the path of martial arts was just this cruel. If one wanted to become a powerful expert... It was unavoidable.
"Open the entrance." Loong Yi gave the order, and the four elders instantly disappeared from where they were standing. They descended into the void and stood in four different positions, forming a square formation.
The Celestial Energy Power on their bodies flickered. It was as if the energy of heaven and earth was pouring down from the sky. The four of them formed a huge light screen. No one knew what was behind the light screen.
"Let's go in." Loong Yi spoke in a faint voice. The geniuses hesitated for a moment before they swiftly rushed towards the light curtain. Powerful aura was emitted. No matter what kind of danger they encountered, they had to give it a try!
As for Sun Tianwang and the other super geniuses, they did not need to continue participating in the following examination. Once Han Feng and the others entered the Life and Death Forest, their respective masters would bring them directly to the Hongtian Academy.
Han Feng smiled bitterly. He had made the twenty-fifth sound, but none of the elders wanted to take him as their disciple. They didn't even want to skip the second round of the examination. Was it because they wanted to see his performance?
With a tap of his toes, the Wind Shadow Spell was cast. Han Feng's figure leapt into the air and entered the light screen in an instant.
"I wonder what this little guy will do. At this moment, in his heart... Loong Yi thought to himself. Elder Zi was going to invite Elder Qing Xuan and the others to watch the performance of this little guy. If his performance wasn't good, it would really be a disgrace to Elder Zi's reputation. However, a genius who could produce twenty-five echoes shouldn't have a bad performance, right?
Behind the light screen was the Life and Death Forest.
When Han Feng came out of the light screen, he landed in a relatively spacious area. He scanned his surroundings and found that all the geniuses who had entered the Life and Death Forest with him had gone to an unknown place, leaving him alone.
"It seems like this light screen is similar to the legendary transmission tunnel. It can send people to different places in the Life and Death Forest." Han Feng said in a low voice. He put the life and death card into the system and walked forward.
"System mission prompt, host has obtained 49 life and death cards, it can increase your attribute by 10 points." The system's voice suddenly sounded, almost making Han Feng stagger. This system really gave him trouble, he only needed 36 life and death cards to pass the test. The system actually asked him to collect 49 life and death cards, which increased the difficulty by a lot.
However, Han Feng still accepted this mission. After all, with these 10 attribute points, he could directly break through to the Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine, and his cultivation time would be greatly shortened.
After walking for a long time, Han Feng didn't see any signs of human habitation. However, in an instant, a cold gaze locked onto him. The killing intent was very faint, but it was still sensed by Han Feng.
Han Feng's soul power was a heaven and earth grade, and his senses were even stronger than ordinary Genuine Martial Stage warriors.
"It seems like there are many people here who like to play assassinations." Han Feng laughed in his heart, but he still acted as if nothing had happened and walked forward.
"This Life and Death Forest is really big. After walking for so long, I don't know when I'll be able to collect all the life and death cards." Han Feng casually said, intentionally or unintentionally weakening his aura. It was as if he was an extremely weak existence amongst Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight warriors.
Suddenly, a black stream of light streaked across the void. The cold Qi covered Han Feng's entire body, causing the leaves to rustle. Before he could even show himself, an overwhelming amount of murderous blade Qi was rushing towards Han Feng.
Han Feng let out a cold snort, and an incomparably terrifying devil intent burst out from his body. An overbearing palm print was unleashed, and in an instant, boundless and terrifying devil Qi swept across the entire space. The murderous saber Qi was completely disintegrated. Han Feng took a step forward. He circulated the Wind Shadow Spell and arrived behind the man in an instant.
The assassin's eyes trembled. Han Feng had disappeared without a trace. In just a moment, Han Feng had appeared behind him, causing his heart to tremble violently. His facial expression changed instantly. He wanted to turn around and kill Han Feng.
"Don't move. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will leave you with an intact corpse." The corner of Han Feng's mouth curled up into a sinister smile. This life and death card was too timely!
