"Another person, although severely wounded and escaped, has undergone severe mutations and won’t amount to much..."
Divine Servant?
A flash of attention, this was the first ti Chen Feng heard such a title.
As for Wu Shuang’s words, they were sowhat unclear to him; he could only understand about half of it.
Presumably, it should be the follow-up to the operation Cao Tong ntioned last ti.
"The Evil God Church worships the Evil God, willing to be followers and servants."
"The so-called Divine Servants are the titles for so of the leaders inside, with the weakest strength at the Master Level, which is the level of Entering Strength."
"Last ti Senior Sister Wu and the people from the United Council led a team to destroy a Snake Spirit Sect’s hideout, personally killing a Divine Servant..."
Cao Tong was worried Chen Feng didn’t understand, so he turned back and proactively explained a few words, also ntioning so of the background and consequences.
Wu Shuang remained silent throughout, while Chen Feng appeared thoughtful.
"We’ll talk about the Snake Spirit Sect later."
Suddenly, just as Chen Feng was deep in thought, Wu Shuang abruptly spoke up, "Before we returned to the mountain this ti, I specially had your information sealed."
"Most people within the Sect only know about your Bone Training breakthrough, but they don’t know you’ve trained your Hard Skills to the Heroic Tiger Level."
"Although it’s barely better than nothing, it can still catch people by surprise and add an edge to your chances of winning."
Her tone was indifferent, but Chen Feng was slightly surprised, feeling a sense of goodwill.
Helping him hide his strength, the effect was self-evident.
At least before the competition starts, it won’t draw attention, and maybe he could easily avoid so targeted attacks.
Of course, he actually didn’t care much, but still thanked her.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Wu."
"Mm."
Wu Shuang nodded lightly, seeing that he took it to heart, she also felt sowhat relieved.
Offending people isn’t scary, but offending a young genius with imnse potential could be costly.
Therefore, no matter the outco of this personal disciple selection.
At least, there’s no more grudge between her and Chen Feng, and that was enough.
Hum!
Then, silence returned to the car as the driver gradually picked up speed.
The black sedan carrying the group of four wove through other vehicles, and the high-rise cityscape flew past in the reverse.
The manhole covers on the roadside were heavily run over, a stench emanating in the dark dampness.
"Yanwu Gym..."
"United Council..."
In the resentful murmuring, one could see serpentine Black Snakes winding their way to the side of a burly figure in a black robe lying on the ground, licking his wounds.
Beneath the hood of the black robe was a triangle face covered with black scales.
What should have been human eyes had long since turned into the vertical pupils of snakes, and the palms were constantly shifting between scales and skin.
Escaping all the way, avoiding the pursuit of the Heavenly Eye.
With severe injuries, it was easy to lose control of Divine Power and experience mutation backlash.
Yet, those people were relentless.
He had barely absorbed the Life Essence of so ordinary people when his traces were discovered again, fleeing to this place.
Hiss!
Suddenly, just as he felt sowhat desperate, a sound of a snake’s tongue flicking echoed.
A brown snake appeared, winding its way up, through the sleeve of the black robe to his ear.
The hissing continued, but his expression changed, and he suddenly smiled.
"Rainbow Group? Zhao Jianlong?"
"Hahaha! It truly is the blessing of the Snake Spirit, heaven won’t let die!"
...
The black sedan drove smoothly, leaving the bustling city area, entering a deep mountain.
Gradually, the tall buildings outside the window faded into the distance, and the mountainous forests ca into view.
Occasionally, one could see so brick houses with thatched roofs, with simply-dressed farrs working in their fields.
Chen Feng silently watched the scene; this was his first ti seeing the rural landscape and forests of Earth Star.
The atmosphere inside the vehicle was quiet and wordless until finally, as the car climbed the slope and drove onto level ground, the speed gradually slowed.
Without notice, the landscape outside the window changed, a red painted wall and tiled houses with an ancient vibe ca into sight.
"We’re here, Senior Sister Wu."
The driver took the initiative to speak and stopped the vehicle on the flat ground in front of the courtyard.
Cao Tong got out of the car, and Chen Feng followed closely behind, stepping out as well.
The ground was paved with flat grey square stone bricks, and every so often, the carved beams and painted rafters of roofs appeared in layers, extending back hundreds to thousands of ters.
The red lacquered wooden doors in front were wide open on either side, with five large characters written in gold on a black background above.
[Heavenly Fla Red Tiger Style]
"Let’s go, this is the Mountain Gate of our Martial Arts Hall."
Cao Tong took the initiative to say sothing and quickly led him into the building before them.
Wu Shuang parted ways with them; her driver carried her luggage towards a separate small courtyard.
During this, several youths dressed in simple long robes appeared, but their clothes mostly bore grey tiger characters, showing great respect for Cao Tong.
"Those are just ordinary Official Disciples."
"The Core, like , wear green robes, while True Inheritors have no uniform; they dress as they wish."
Cao Tong explained, leading Chen Feng through corridor after corridor and around pavilions and terraces.
Because this place was at the Mountain Gate of the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Feng restrained his Perception to avoid being detected by so expert and revealing any clues.
Tap!
Suddenly, a footstep halted.
Sensing sothing odd, Chen Feng followed Cao Tong and turned his head to look to the right.
There was a bamboo forest, surrounded by a small pond where various colored koi swam.
A youth dressed in a white-grey long robe stood by the pond, holding fish food and tossing it into the water, attracting many koi to gather.
"Little Master Uncle."
Cao Tong called out respectfully, and Chen Feng was briefly startled, quickly observing the youth turning around to look at them.
With a sowhat handso face and about 1.8 ters tall, his figure was lean.
His deanor was sowhat cold, with slender phoenix eyes, giving the impression of soone not easy to talk to.
"Hmm, back to the Mountain Gate?"
"Yes."
A short exchange, and soon the other party’s gaze shifted.
Chen Feng could feel that he was being observed.
Deep and serene eyes, even with his Perception restrained, he could sense that this person’s aura was extrely strong, comparable to the Third Elder.
That was a level above Entering Strength.
"This is our Sub Martial Arts Hall’s most outstanding Core Student, Chen Feng."
"I’m bringing him up the mountain this ti, to participate in the competition for personal disciples..."
Cao Tong explained earnestly, his tone more respectful than ever before.
"Hmm."
The Little Master Uncle nodded slightly, withdrawing his gaze.
Then, as if recalling sothing, he suddenly asked a question.
"Where’s Third Brother?"
"The Third Elder said he wanted to watch over the dicinal herb warehouse, so he won’t be coming back to the mountain."
"Is that so."
The Little Master Uncle gently nodded, then resud feeding the fish.
Cao Tong knew when to retreat. After respectfully bowing with folded hands, he left the place with Chen Feng.
Tap tap, their footsteps quietly echoed back; ripples spread in the pond behind them, like bait hitting the water, being eagerly snatched up.
Noticing Chen Feng’s surprise and confusion, Cao Tong lowered his voice and said, "That’s the Little Master Uncle, Li Chenye, the only personal disciple of the Sect Leader, who accepted him on behalf of his teacher. He is currently the only personal disciple at our Mountain Gate."
"He, along with the Sect Leader and the Third Elder, are the only three in our school who are above the level of Entering Strength."
With a simple explanation, Chen Feng’s confusion dissipated.
No wonder he felt the aura was extrely strong.
Above Entering Strength...
Narrowing his eyes, he beca intensely curious about this realm, and then Cao Tong brought him to a residence.
A single wooden hut belonging to a courtyard’s quarters.
Inside were a wooden bed, a table, soft cushions, bedding, and other items, and there were also other neighboring Core Students living close by.
There were eleven in total, all recomnded to participate in the competition for the position of personal disciple, outstanding individuals like him.
"Chen, if you need anything, just ssage ."
Cao Tong gave a couple of instructions before leaving.
Chen Feng nodded and took out his phone, intending to send Chen Yun a ssage letting her know he was safe.
But soon, soone ca to the outside of the hut and knocked on the wooden door.
