Participating in the Assessment

Time Flies~

In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed since Lin Feng and the others entered Knight Sacred Mountain.

It was a place of breathtaking scenery.

Lin Feng was currently sitting beside a waterfall, cultivating.

The Level Ten Star Brilliance Unicorn King, whose strength had already broken through, was lying beside Lin Feng and resting.

In the distance, Paimon and Haoyue were catching fish by the lake.

After more than a year, the two little troublemakers had gotten along fairly well. At the very least, they no longer started chasing each other the moment they met.

Not far from Lin Feng, the One-Armed Old Man watched his situation.

The sacred Light Aura surrounding Lin Feng's body was now several times denser than elsewhere. It was so concentrated that it seemed on the verge of transforming from mist-like spiritual power into liquid.

This was a sign that Lin Feng was about to break through to the Fifth Stage.

Seeing the phenomenon before her, Li Xin, who stood beside the One-Armed Old Man with her hands clenched tightly, could not help saying, "This time, it should succeed, right..."

"Sis, stop jinxing him. Every time you say that, Brother Lin's breakthrough fails."

"Sorry. I'll keep my mouth shut this time." After saying that, Li Xin covered her mouth and did not make another sound.

Yet as time passed, the spiritual power that had begun to liquefy suddenly burst apart...

Seeing this, everyone could not help sighing.

Lin Feng's spiritual power had already reached 2,000 points three months ago, placing him at the Peak Fourth Stage.

He was only one step away from the Fifth Stage.

Given Lin Feng's solid foundation, liquefying his spiritual power should have been a natural progression. Yet for some reason, he had been unable to break through.

Over the past three months, this had already been Lin Feng's seventh attempt to break through the bottleneck.

Yet it had still failed.

Even the Ninth Rank One-Armed Old Man had never encountered a situation like Lin Feng's.

"Lin Feng, the Demon Hunt Squad Qualification Assessment has begun. We should leave," Li Xin stepped forward and reminded him.

After saying that, Li Xin added worriedly, "It's okay. Maybe after going out for a walk, you'll break through without even realizing it."

Seeing the concern in Li Xin's eyes, Lin Feng smiled. "Don't worry. My Dao heart isn't so easily shattered."

Lin Feng did not explain further. Because of his physique, he needed to convert his spiritual power into seven elements one by one. Although the process was rather complicated, his spiritual power had clearly become much more solid.

The spiritual power required to use his skills had also decreased considerably.

Moreover, just as Li Xin had said, he truly could break through to the Fifth Stage at any time.

"Let's go. It is indeed time to head out."

Over the past year or so, the three of them had barely gone out in order to increase their strength and participate in the upcoming Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition.

Lin Feng's spiritual power had already reached 2,000 points.

Long Haochen's spiritual power had also reached 1,700 points. Compared to the 1,000 points of spiritual power he had when participating in the assessment in the original work, his strength had increased by nearly 700 points.

As for Li Xin, because her Innate Inner Spiritual Power was relatively low, her cultivation speed was still much slower than the other two's. However, over the past year or so, her spiritual power had only increased by 1,600 points.

Even so, she could still be considered one of the best among those her age.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng and Long Haochen's talents were simply too monstrous, making hers seem somewhat dim in comparison.

"Oh, right. Hall Master Nalan said he'll take us to a banquet later."

Li Xin suddenly said.

"A banquet?"

"Mm. It's also a tradition in Bright Moon City."

"On the day before every Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition begins, the Three Great Halls hold a banquet."

"As representatives of Bright Moon City's younger generation, the three of us were naturally invited."

After hearing Li Xin's explanation, Lin Feng roughly understood.

"Mm, I understand." Lin Feng gave a simple response.

At that moment, Li Xin's gaze openly swept over Lin Feng's body. She gave a light cough and said,

"Um... Lin Feng, do you have any clothes suitable for attending a banquet?"

Only then did Lin Feng notice that Li Xin and Long Haochen had both changed into new outfits.

Over the past year or so, Lin Feng and Long Haochen had changed the most. In just over a year, both had grown into handsome young men standing over six feet tall.

However, compared to Long Haochen's somewhat delicate and pretty appearance, Lin Feng appeared more masculine and handsome.

In short, both of them were at the peak of attractiveness. The only difference was their temperament.

"I really didn't prepare anything like that."

"I knew you wouldn't, so I already prepared something for you."

As she spoke, Li Xin took out a neatly folded set of clothes from her Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled. "You went out early these past two days just to prepare this for me, didn't you?"

"Hehe, I picked it out very carefully. I'm sure it'll suit you. Haochen and I will wait for you at the teleportation array."

After saying that, Li Xin led Long Haochen away from Knight Sacred Mountain.

A short while later.

Lin Feng, dressed in a fitted black outfit, appeared at the teleportation array of Haoyue Branch Hall.

Seeing Lin Feng's attire,

Li Xin's eyes immediately lit up. Her gaze lingered on Lin Feng for a long time, unable to move away, and she subconsciously swallowed.

Seeing that Nalan Shu and the One-Armed Old Man were nearby, Long Haochen quickly bumped her and whispered, "Sis, mind your image."

Hearing that, Li Xin hurriedly coughed to conceal her inner embarrassment.

Looking at Lin Feng's outfit, Nalan Shu could not help saying, "Lin Feng, this outfit suits you very well. Xiao Xin should have told you about the banquet, right?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Afterward, under Nalan Shu's lead, the group attended the banquet.

The banquet mainly consisted of the temple masters of Bright Moon City's Three Great Halls explaining the matters requiring attention during the entry assessment.

At the same time, they introduced the seeded contestants from the three branch halls to one another, since the assessment would be conducted in teams.

If they could get acquainted beforehand, it would also be of considerable help for the next day's assessment.

The next day.

The Bright Moon City Demon Hunt Squad entry assessment site.

By the time Lin Feng's group arrived, those participating in the assessment from Bright Moon City Warrior Branch Hall and the Magic Branch Hall had already arrived.

Lin Feng had also met these three at last night's banquet.

They were Lin Jialu from the Magic Branch Hall, and the brothers Chen Si and Chen Chen from the Warrior Branch Hall.

All three were outstanding talents of Bright Moon City.

"Lin Feng, you're here."

Lin Feng and Long Haochen's ages had not been revealed at yesterday's banquet. Everyone had merely introduced their Fourth Stage strength to one another.

Furthermore, Lin Feng and Long Haochen's builds did not resemble those of fourteen-year-olds at all.

Thus, everyone simply addressed one another by name.

Faced with the Chen brothers' enthusiasm, Lin Feng responded politely.

However, compared to the four boys,

Lin Jialu, who stood to the side, took the opportunity to Taunt Li Xin for arriving so late.

"Seriously, on such an important day, you still managed to arrive this late, Li Xin. Don't you have any sense of time?"

Hearing Lin Jialu target her like that, Li Xin replied unhappily, "How am I late? There are still more than ten minutes before the assessment starts."

The four of them were already used to the two girls' confrontations.

At yesterday's banquet, the two of them had argued quite a bit.

Lin Jialu had originally been Li Xin's closest friend, but because of certain misunderstandings, the two now argued whenever they met.
