C28 Heaven's Will Forest
"That's right, all the disciples of the Thousand Lightning Sect have to obtain this Advanced Martial Techniques. I think even if we win the competition, we would probably still end up killing each other in the end to obtain more flags."
Qing Er slowly said. Originally, she did not think so much into it, if her master had not told her so, she would not have imagined that her two senior and junior brothers would also kill each other for the sake of martial skills.
"Isn't it taboo for sects to kill each other? Using this method to reward the martial skills, don't you know what will happen to the sect master and the various elders? " Lin Yuan asked in confusion.
Qing Er said with a solemn and worried expression, "The Sect Leader and the various Great Elders naturally know of this, but at this time, the Thousand Lightning Sect Headquarters has issued an order for the selection of some talents for the headquarters. The top ten rankers in this competition will have the chance to head to the headquarters.
Qing Er had already explained in great detail. It looks like there were many things Lin Yuan didn't know about this joint exercise, but these things had nothing to do with him. As long as he could protect Xiao Yu and Qing Er well during the training.
The joint training began, the six great forces respectively entered the Heaven's Will Forest from different locations, and Lin Yuan followed the disciples of the Thousand Lightning Sect in.
There were a total of 100 disciples in Thousand Lightning Sect and 20 of them were inner sect disciples. All of them were led by Yang Hao, while the rest were elite disciples who were around 50.
The remaining thirty odd people were like Lin Yuan and the rest, comprised of the outstanding disciples and direct disciples recommended by the elders.
Chen Tianci looked at the crowd that came in, and said indifferently: "Everyone, the Heaven's Will Forest is too vast, if we gather together, since it is safer, the speed at which we can search for the flag will naturally decrease."
"So, I suggest that we split up into teams of five to search for the flags and meet up at the designated place before the end. What do you think?"
"Brother Tianwu is right, I, Yang Hao am in agreement." Yang Hao spoke out first. Actually, he had already thought of this idea a long time ago, but Chen Tianci had revealed it first.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Tianci immediately said: "Alright, since no one has any objections, let's gather at heavenly remembrance Peak for a meeting the day before the end of the demonstration."
With that said, Chen Tianci led the way and formed a five man team, in the blink of an eye they disappeared into the depths of the forest, while the rest of the elite disciples also seemed to have formed their groups, and in a short ten minutes, they dissipated.
Yang Hao's cold eyes swept over to Lin Yuan, and after looking at Su Xiaoyu beside him, he immediately walked over and said: "Xiao Yu, Heaven's Will Forest is too dangerous, and your strength is too low, it's safer to follow me."
"No, I want to be with Big Brother Lin Yuan." Xiao Yu immediately embraced Lin Yuan's arm and said, then looked at Yang Hao with hostility.
An ice-cold killing intent immediately flashed through Yang Hao's eyes, but he concealed it: "Alright, since you have already decided, then I will not force you. You must be careful."
With that said, Yang Hao formed a group of five from the start, and then rushed towards the depths of Heaven's Will Forest, while the rest of the inner sect disciples also formed their own groups.
Lin Yuan, Xiao Yu, and Qing Er did not have any other people forming a party, because there were no longer any people around, some of the unspecialized characters formed a team, while some moved alone, with no one coming to form a team with them.
Seeing that there were only the three of them left, Qing Er slowly said: "Big brother Lin Yuan, Master has told the outside world, there are more flags in the Heaven's Will Forest, should we go deeper?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "No, this is our first time in Heaven's Will Forest, so we are not very familiar with it yet. We should first familiarize ourselves with the surroundings and see what the situation is."
"Then do we need to find a place to stay? One must know that there are a lot of poisonous insects and snakes at night." Xiaoyu suggested that they find a place to stay for the night.
Lin Yuan smiled, then nodded his head and agreed: "Alright, then let's go, there are many mountains and rivers in Heaven's Will Forest, finding a place to rest should not be too difficult."
There were still four hours until sunset. Lin Yuan and the other two checked the terrain and environment they were moving in again and again, while searching for a place to stay.
In a place with dense trees, Lin Yuan and the other two found a wooden hut. Although the wooden hut was simple, it could block out the wind and rain, and inside were some bow and arrows, it seemed like this place was inhabited by a hunter.
In order to effectively carry out the plan and not recklessly kill the innocent, they had already prohibited anyone from entering the Heaven's Will Forest a month ago.
As the sky darkened, Lin Yuan and the other two decided to rest in the hut for the night. Fortunately, there were still pots and pans beside the hut.
In the hut, there was only one bed, so Qing Er and Xiao Yu naturally occupied the right to use the bed, while Lin Yuan sat on a wooden chair to the side and meditated.
"Eldest Brother, look! There's a wooden house here!" At this moment, a surprised voice sounded from outside the wooden house.
Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the purple Spirit Qi in his body started to circulate, while called out Xiao Yu who was sleeping soundly, to prepare for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, a boorish voice came from outside the wooden house, "Eldest Senior Brother, I can see that you have used the stove. I'm afraid that there are already people living inside the wooden house."
"Let's see if they're one of us." A loud voice rang out, and then the door of the wooden house slowly opened.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and Moonlight Lin Yuan looked at the people outside the wooden house. Five youths, all of them around the middle stage of the Third Level of Qi Condensation, and their leader was at the late stage of the Third Level of Qi Condensation.
"My apologies, but we have already occupied this wooden house. You should go somewhere else to look for a place to live." Lin Yuan said indifferently, his ice-cold eyes carrying traces of coldness.
"Eldest senior brother, they're not us." Second Junior Brother said indifferently while standing in front of the Eldest Senior Brother. His eyes even landed on Xiao Yu and Qing Er's bodies.
The head senior brother looked at Lin Yuan and frowned, then relaxed: "From the looks of it, you guys should be people from the Thousand Lightning Sect Branch, a late stage Third Level of Qi Condensation with two little beauties at the first level of Qi Condensation, it really is a blessing from the heavens for us."
"Brothers, let's kill this man. The two girls are just good enough for us to enjoy the night, hehe." The eldest senior brother said with a vulgar smile, his lewd gaze sweeping over Xiao Yu and Qing Er.
"Pui, what are you looking at? Go and dig out your eyeballs." Xiao Yu shouted angrily as she pointed at the five people outside with the Spirit Grade Long Sword in her hand.
"Heh, you're still a hot chick after all. I'll play with you in a while. Come at me." At the same time, the three youngsters immediately pulled out their swords and attacked Lin Yuan and the other two.
This was the first time Xiao Yu and Qing Er had engaged in actual combat. Right now, their bodies were trembling and they looked extremely nervous.
Qing Er and Qing Er Xiao Yu pulled out their swords to welcome the two of them as the spirit energy in the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm continued to surge. However, they were unable to stop the Third Level of Qi Condensation cultivators, but luckily the two who were attacking them seemed to want to play cat and mouse, so they did not directly capture them.
The young man that was attacking Lin Yuan was also not bad, but he had picked the wrong opponent, in order to let Xiao Yu and Qing Er fight a little longer, so he did not kill him with one strike, but rather chose to fight with him.
"Hehe, don't resist, little girl. I'll hurt you all. It will be fun later." The teenager that attacked Xiao Yu had a wretched smile on his face. His attacks were very slow, but his moves were very fierce.
Xiao Yu was struggling to hold her ground. She did not need to nimbly use her moves in real combat. Her moves were stiff, and she was no different from when she was training.
Compared to Xiao Yu, Qing Er was much better. She moved very quickly and also knew of some changes in moves, but because it was her first time fighting in actual combat, she was not confident and added on with a little fear, it was extremely difficult to deal with.
The Eldest Senior Brother looked at the six people battling, and the slight rise in the corners of his mouth was truly abominable. After ten minutes had passed, he seemed to have become somewhat impatient, and so he opened his mouth and said.
"Alright, let's stop playing. Hurry up and deal with this guy. If you catch these two girls, I'll be the first to arrive. You guys can line up outside the house later."
Hearing that, Xiao Yu and Qing Er's group who were attacking immediately released an evil smile, at the same time using a bit of force, instantly knocking the two of them to the ground, following that they extended their hands to grab them.
Seeing that, Lin Yuan knew that it was about time, purple Spirit Qi instantly surged out, at the same time, he used floaty movement technique, his body suddenly became extremely light, his steps became even more graceful.
Before he even had time to react, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Lowering his head slightly, he saw a longsword piercing through his heart.
After killing the youth, Lin Yuan's body suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yu and Qing Er. He immediately swung his sword, and two bloody palms were immediately flung outwards.
"AHH ?"
The two youths who were trying to grab Xiao Yu and Qing Er only saw a flash in front of them, then they felt a pain in their hands, and then they opened their mouths and flew away. Dark red blood flowed on the ground, and their miserable cries startled the birds that were resting outside.
They never thought that this man in front of them had actually hidden his true strength, but no matter how they looked at it, he only had the strength of the late stage Third Level of Qi Condensation. There was no reason for him to be able to instantly kill three people at the same level and injure them twice.
