Life and Death Trial

"We're here to take the Cosmic One-Star Mercenary assessment."

In front of a villa, Luo Feng and his group of nine appeared.

"Beep!"

The guards' scanners swept over Luo Feng's group of nine. Hearing the signal, they nodded, "You may enter!"

Clearly, Luo Feng's group of nine had passed the identity scan.

"It's actually real, you crazy guy, you didn't lie to me." After passing through the gate and entering the garden in front of the villa, Jin Guitai, a tall Gold Viper clansman in Luo Feng's team, said with a face full of shock.

They had met Luo Feng in a tavern.

That day, Luo Feng and his group had approached them under the pretense of looking for Cosmic-level teammates to participate in the One-Star Mercenary assessment.

Initially, Jin Guitai had loudly mocked the three of them. After all, a Star-level martial artist actually wanted to participate in a One-Star Mercenary assessment?

Even geniuses who had comprehended high-level domains would likely not have this capability!

However, after Luo Feng's group revealed three Cosmic-level auxiliary life forms, his expression immediately became much more serious.

Cosmic-level sixth-order auxiliary life forms were something even he, with his current Cosmic-level eighth-order strength, absolutely could not cultivate!

Moreover, the three people in front of him looked extremely young, and were at least core disciples cultivated by some major power!

Regardless of whether the three in front of him were joking or not, he at least could not offend them. In fact, his attitude instantly became much gentler.

These three youngsters, who were suspected to come from major powers, might even bring him an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Having been at the Cosmic-level for tens of thousands of years, he did not want to just wait until his lifespan ended!

Thus, he and Luo Feng's group began to communicate enthusiastically, all the way until now, agreeing to travel to the World Lord World together to participate in the assessment!

However, in his heart, he did not believe that the three of them could participate in the assessment. He had only agreed to them to foster a better relationship.

But now, the facts had unfolded before his eyes, and no matter how unbelievable it was, he had no words of refutation.

"Haha, I told you long ago that the three of us are here to participate in the One-Star Mercenary assessment!" Luo Feng said with a slight smile when faced with doubt.

According to their agreement, if the three of them could truly participate in the mercenary assessment, they would be able to join this small team!

"Yes, then according to our agreement, you are now members of our team." Jin Guitai did not go back on his word and agreed.

The realms of those three auxiliary life forms were sufficient to prove the strength of Luo Feng and the other two.

The team followed the path in the garden to the entrance of the villa.

Two expressionless women in black stood at the entrance of the villa. One of them looked at Luo Feng's group of nine and said solemnly, "Nine probationary mercenaries, we believe you are aware of the dangers of the World Lord World you are about to enter! If you regret it now, you can still withdraw!"

"No need, open the door," Jin Guitai, as the captain of the team, said directly.

Creak!

One of the women in black pushed open the villa door, "The World Lord World is on the second floor of the villa."

Luo Feng's group of nine filed in, entered the hall, and then went upstairs along the staircase to the second floor.

The other rooms on the second floor were normal, except for one room with a giant figure several meters tall standing at the door.

This giant figure glanced at Luo Feng's group of nine and then opened the door.

"Enter, this is the world for this assessment," the giant figure said coldly.

With a stream of light, Luo Feng's group of nine walked through the door.

The stars shifted and the heavens revolved.

What was previously a sunny, villa, and bustling Cosmic Mercenary Alliance outpost, in the blink of an eye, the scene turned into night!

"Crazy guy, Hong, Lei Shen, quickly use the planets within your bodies to counteract the gravity!"

As an old hand who had participated in many assessments before, Jin Guitai immediately reminded the three of them.

Hearing this, Luo Feng and the other two quickly mobilized the planets within their bodies to counteract the surrounding gravity, controlling their bodies and slowly descending to the ground.

"Is this the World Lord World?" Luo Feng observed his surroundings after landing on the ground and said slowly.

It was a dark world, with only faint wisps of light in the distant sky. However, with his current realm, he could still clearly see the surrounding environment.

Everywhere was filled with tall trees, clearly indicating they were deep within a forest.

"This is the Soul-Devouring Forest," Jin Guitai said softly as he came up to Luo Feng.

This World Lord World had undergone five assessments. Although he had not personally taken an assessment in this world, he was aware of general information.

"Let's go, let's get out of the forest first, it's not safe here!" Jin Guitai waved his hand and led the few people to fly in a certain direction.

The Soul-Devouring Forest was extremely vast. Even after flying for several hours with the team's strength, they still had not managed to fly out of the forest.

"Careful!"

During the flight, Jin Guitai's expression changed drastically as he warned them. Then, a third-tier psychic weapon appeared in his hand.

The psychic weapon turned into a stream of light and slashed towards the back of a Cosmic-level fifth-order team member.

Screech!

Luo Feng saw a thick green vine being cut into two pieces by the psychic weapon!

It seemed enraged by Jin Guitai's attack, the once silent forest suddenly erupted with noisy, chaotic sounds.

Around them, thick branches and vines had appeared at some point.

"This is the plant life, the Soul-Devouring Vine. Don't let it touch your bodies, or it will directly attack your soul!" Jin Guitai manipulated his psychic weapon, warning them.

"Understood!" Jin Guitai's warning was directed at Luo Feng and the other two. As for the veteran team members, they had already unleashed their own methods.

Seeing this, Luo Feng and the other two had Mo Yun Vine transform into armor, and their respective weapons appeared in their hands.

"Yue Lin, Ming You, I'll leave the right side to you. Luo Feng, you follow me and charge forward. The Soul-Devouring Vine is hard to kill!" After arranging the tactics, Jin Guitai's figure shot forward.

In front of him, countless branches and vines stabbed straight at him.

But before his psychic weapon, these branches and vines were easily cut in half, unable to withstand a single blow.

Luo Feng and the other two followed closely, their weapons slashing at the branches and vines that attacked from the side.

Using the power of laws and their domains, the strength of the three was already comparable to Cosmic-level one or two-tier warriors!

But even so, the branches and vines that were easily severed before Jin Guitai required them to swing their weapons several times to cut them down.

"Damn it!" Lei Shen roared. The Mo Yun Vine within his body suddenly extended a vine, blocking the attack in front of him.

There were simply too many branches and vines. With their strength, they were not enough to resolve the crisis!

If it weren't for Mo Yun Vine protecting him, he would have been heavily injured by that last strike!

My condition isn't great today, something came up. I'll update later. I'll finish writing about Luo Feng and the other two as soon as possible, three chapters at most. I won't write any further after that.
