Swoosh!
"Ugh!" White light faded, and Zhou Hang's silhouette appeared at the training ground entrance. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was grimaced in pain as he used his hand to press on the cut wound on his chest.
The surrounding students were dumbfounded once again seeing Zhou Hang's appearance. First Li Na and now him. They were confused, wasn't everyone in Wang Jue's group so arrogant earlier? How co they were beaten up and forced to leave the training ground?
Those with so brains could see the situation more clearly. Obviously, Yun Lintian's group was far stronger than Wang Jue's group. Thinking they had ridiculed Yun Lintian previously, their faces grew hot in sha and felt as if they had been slapped left and right.
Zhou Hang stuffed a few healing pills into his mouth and swallowed with difficulty while trying to stabilize his injuries. A few breaths later, the wound on his chest gradually stopped bleeding. He let out a sigh of relief and swept his gaze over the group of students in this area.
Noticing the contemptuous look on their faces, Zhou Hang snorted coldly and walked away.
The students thought Zhou Hang would leave a vicious word before leaving, counting his arrogant attitude. His silent departure left everyone surprised and did not know what to say.

Ten hours passed by since Yun Lintian entered the Forest Maze training ground. Currently, he was walking unhurriedly on the ninth ring.
From Bai Qingyi's words, the Forest Maze had a total of nine rings surrounding the final destination. Starting from the second ring, each ring would contain a lot of traps to either confuse the contenders or try to injure them.
Naturally, not everyone had a cheat-ability like Yun Lintian's Eyes of Heaven. The contenders had to rely on their perception to locate these traps and avoid them while trying to find a path leading to the next ring. It could be said this training ground was purposely made to train the contender's perception.
Over these years, not many people managed to reach the seventh ring. As for the eighth ring and ninth ring, they were even lesser. And those who cleared the Forest Maze were no more than two digits.
This statistic showed how talented Jiang Yingyue was to get first place and beco a record holder.
What Yun Lintian had in his mind right now was neither how to clear the Forest Maze nor Wang Jue's whereabouts, but the origin of the energy he saw on the ground. Yun Lintian was curious about what kind of energy source to send out a steady stream of energy like this without any sign of depletion.
To Yun Lintian's knowledge, he couldn't think of anything besides the Profound Spiritual Lake he had… Don't tell there's one here?
As his curiosity grew further, Yun Lintian subconsciously hastened his steps and finally reached the endpoint of the ninth ring twenty minutes later. Similar to the previous rings, leading to the next ring was a small path between the tree walls. There was no special characteristic other than a dense aura flowing vigorously like a raging river. Yun Lintian didn't hesitate and walked through it directly.
Through the tree walls, Yun Lintian arrived at an open garden with a circular shape stone gate that stood tall at the center of the area. Exotic flowers and a lot of magical plants could be seen everywhere in this place.
However, Yun Lintian did not care about them in the slightest, as his eyes were firmly fixated on the area beneath the stone gate. Through Eyes of Heaven, he saw a human's head-size green orb gently spinning while pulling profound energy toward it and releasing it on the other side.
What is this? Yun Lintian racked his brain up and couldn't find any information related to this orb. One thing that he was certain this orb wasn't a profound stone. It was more like sothing higher than that.
Yun Lintian quickly drew closer to the stone gate and squatted down on the ground nearby, carefully observing the green orb.
As if it perceived soone nearby, the green orb suddenly stopped rotating, and there was no further movent. Yun Lintian was taken aback and tried to move away from the orb. However, before he could retreat, the green orb abruptly burst into white light and ford into a human silhouette.
Yun Lintian stared at the human silhouette attentively and silently utilized his profound energy, preparing to engage at any ti. He could feel an extrely ancient breath coming out of it. This was similar to the ti he t Yan Qi back then.
A mont later, the white silhouette gradually solidified and ford into a plain-looking middle-aged man clad in white with his long black hair hung down freely. There was no distinct feature on his face. If he was placed in the crowd, no one would rember him.
Even so, Yun Lintian could perceive an innate majestic aura hiding behind his ordinary appearance. This person must be soone on Yan Qi's level, if not higher than that.
The middle-aged man and Yun Lintian stared at each other for a long while before the forr spoke first. "You are the one." His voice was as plain as his look — neither soft nor firm, as if he had no emotion.
Yun Lintian was puzzled slightly. What is the one? Do I look like Mister Jet Li?
He clasped his hands together and said politely. "Greetings, Senior. This junior is Yun Lintian, a newly recruited student. May I know what is Senior called?"
"Yun Lintian…" The middle-aged man didn't answer Yun Lintian but muttered in a low voice, apparently talking to himself.
Yun Lintian did not say anything further and calmly waited for the middle-aged man.
A while later, the middle-aged man seed to regain his clarity. His previously vacant eyes were now brimming with vitality as he looked at Yun Lintian.
"I have waited for you for a long ti." The middle-aged man spoke. Compared to the earlier, his voice was livelier. Before Yun Lintian could react, he said further. "My na is Tian Zuo. People have known as Lord Sky Throne."
Yun Lintian was extrely shocked, staring at Tian Zuo dumbly.
