"This guy is so beautiful, I never expected him to be a bad person." Zhang Yunfeng frowned.
Peng Ye has 37 points of Karmic Force above his head, which means that this person has at least 37 lives on his head.
As Li Qiang Inhuman, he frequently Combat with the Demonic Sect sects and their followers, so it's quite normal for him to lose lives.
But if there's Karmic Force involved, then it's not normal.
Zhang Yunfeng and the other man had gained some understanding of Karmic Force during this period.
Only by killing someone with zero Karmic Force or Merit can you increase your Karmic Force.
If there is Karmic Force, Merit will not be manifested; only if there is Merit and Karmic Force will Merit be manifested.
In other words, even if you do ten thousand good deeds, your Merit will not be apparent if you have Karmic Force.
If Merit can offset Karmic Force, then Karmic Force will be displayed as 0; 10 Merit can offset 1 point of Karmic Force.
If it cannot be offset, then the corresponding Karmic Force points will be displayed.
Take Zhang Yunfeng and his group for example. They have killed quite a few people during this period, but those they killed were all people with Karmic Force, so it did not increase their Karmic Force.
However, it will increase your Merit, but the amount of Merit is practically useless in this world.
It will neither increase cultivation speed nor luck, nor eliminate calamities.
However, anyone who carries Karmic Force is bound to be an evil person.
For Zhang Yunfeng and his ilk, who were essentially just tools, at the same cultivation level, the more Karmic Force a person had, the higher their experience points would be, and the increase would be exponential.
Like this Peng Ye, Third Pin Beast Master, if there is no Karmic Force, killing him would only yield 30 experience points.
However, with 37 points of Karmic Force, the experience points will become 37 times.
That multiplier makes it worth a shot.
"Find an opportunity?" Zhang Yunfeng whispered to Lin Ying'er.
"We'll make our move once we're inside the Land of Trials," Lin Ying'er nodded.
"Guess where this guy's Karmic Force came from?"
"Beastmaster, devour souls!"
The Li Qiang of a Beastmaster depends entirely on the strength of their soul.
However, there are very few techniques that can enhance the strength of the soul, and even if there are, the speed is extremely slow.
A Beastmaster would need at least three years to advance from First Pin to Second Pin through cultivation.
However, it takes ten to twenty years to advance from the Second Pin to the Third Pin.
Alternatively, one could take elixirs that enhance the soul.
But this thing is even harder to find; it's extremely rare.
There is another type, which is the soul that devours living beings.
However, the souls of most ordinary creatures are very weak; the souls of a hundred elephants cannot match the energy of the soul of a single human being.
The strength of one's soul is not determined by the strength of one's physique.
However, by devouring the souls of two or three ordinary people, one can advance from the First Pin to the Second Pin.
Even those of the Second Pin or Third Pin are nothing more than the souls of ten to twenty ordinary people.
The question is, how many people can withstand it?
Peng Ye only about twenty years old, yet he has already reached the Third Pin. He probably obtained it by devouring soul power.
Not only Peng Ye, but several Soul Beast Master around Peng Ye have Karmic Force.
Moreover, the values are not low.
"This Peng Ye seems pretty serious, although he's a bit arrogant. He doesn't seem like the kind of person Soul Cultivation," Zhang Yunfeng said.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; there are quite a few hypocrites among the 'Sixth Old Liu's '."
After a pause, Lin Ying'er added, "There's another possibility: Peng Ye's Karmic Force might have come to us passively."
How so?
" Peng Ye the heir apparent of the Phantom Beast Master Alliance, the future successor to the alliance leader. His reputation is undoubtedly extremely important, and he should cherish it very much."
"What if someone else in the Alliance Refinement a soul and then tries to fool Peng Ye by claiming it's a spiritual medicine?"
"Even if they get discovered, at worst they'll hand that person over. As an unknown lover, Peng Ye won't be affected much."
"Uh, is that really the case?" Zhang Yunfeng scratched his head.
"Most likely!"
"So, is Peng Ye a good person or a bad person?"
"It's not important to us. In my eyes, he's just experience points!" Lin Ying'er said indifferently.
"Well!"
"To put it another way, he didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of him, so it's Karmic Force to attribute the karma to him."
"Hmm, now that you mention it, it makes a lot more sense!"
Whether it's reasonable or not is unimportant; experience is what matters most.
Peng Ye had actually discovered Zhang Yunfeng and his group long ago, but he was very wary of both Zhang Yunfeng and Lin Ying'er.
These two have caused quite a stir lately.
In less than a week, the two completed more than twenty bounty missions from the Demon-Sweeping Bureau, including those from the Late Qi Refining Realm and even Half-Step Golden Core Realm masters.
They all ended up failing because of them.
This shows just how terrifying their strength is.
Moreover, Zhang Yunfeng's Huoyan are almost a complete counter to Beastmasters.
He had made up his mind that he would stay far away from those two guys in the Land of Trials.
If he can't afford to offend them, can't he at least avoid them?
Once I reach the Sixth Pin of Beast Master and can use the Body Integration skill, I'll get my revenge on Zhao Hai for what happened.
Just as Lin Ying'er guessed.
Peng Ye was unaware of his Karmic Force. Although he was arrogant and a bit petty, he always believed himself to be righteous.
The reason his strength improved so quickly was because his father, Peng Liangyu, the current leader of the Phantom Beast Master Alliance, gave him a Soul-Strengthening Pill every day.
The Soul-Strengthening Pill is made from Soul-Strengthening Herb and can enhance the soul.
It is a treasure not only for Beastmasters, but also for Inhuman from other cultivation systems.
Peng Ye never doubted the legitimacy of the Soul-Strengthening Pill's origin.
After all, Peng Liangyu is the alliance leader, and he's also the crown prince of the Phantom Beast Master Alliance. What's wrong with him giving Peng Ye some special treatment and a few more Soul-Strengthening Pill?
However, what he took was not Soul-Strengthening Pill, but Living Soul Pill refined by Peng Liangyu using his own soul.
This Karmic Force, isn't it, that's how it comes about!
There are exactly 9,999 steps on Mount Longhu.
When the mountain gate opened, nearly 10,000 people climbed the steps, but fewer than 300 actually reached the top.
This demonstrates the difficulty involved.
After climbing the steps, a huge square comes into view.
The square was surrounded by disciples of Mount Longhu.
Directly in front of you is a high platform.
On the high platform stood a group of high-ranking officials from Mount Longhu.
Seated in the very center is the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, who is also the current pinnacle of strength in the Inhuman World.
At this moment, the Celestial Master was dressed in a white Daoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, Wind Dao.
The red cesium sneakers on her feet were a bit out of place.
At this moment, the Celestial Master was holding a mobile phone, seemingly taking pictures of the people below, but in reality, he was using the scan function of the Myriad Worlds Store.
He is examining the Karmic Force of others.
"This feature is quite useful; I wonder how it's done," the Celestial Master murmured.
An elder nearby leaned over and asked, "Sect Leader, is the second trial about to begin?"
"Let's begin, Zhang Quan!" the Celestial Master called out to a chubby boy beside him.
"It's the sect leader's grandmaster uncle!"
Zhang Quan bowed to the Celestial Master before walking to the edge of the platform.
He shouted to the 305 people below, "Everyone, quiet!"
After everyone quieted down, he pointed to a sign next to him and said, "Now, everyone take out your phones and scan the QR code!"
The sign had a QR code printed on a white sheet of paper.
"Our Mount Longhu is also keeping up with the times. This app was specially developed for this Mount Longhu trial."
"After scanning the QR code and entering their information, each person will receive a unique number."
"The numbering system consists of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, along with numbers; those with matching numbers are opponents."
For example, number A23 will play against number D23, and number Chou75 will play against number Shen75.
"Two players will compete against each other; the winners will stay and the losers will be eliminated, until the final 50 are determined."
The Land of Trials only have fifty spots, so it's impossible for all of them to enter. The only way to determine the spots is through a tournament.
It's the same every year.
"The first match will begin in ten minutes!"
Below, Zhang Yunsheng and the others immediately took out their phones and scanned the QR code to download the app.
"I'm number Ding 105, what's your number?" Zhang Yunsheng asked Lin Ying'er.
"We don't need to face each other in the first round. I'm number 22 (巳), and my opponent is number 22 (丙)!"
The phone not only displays the opponent's ID number but also their information, including a photo and cultivation level.
Lin Ying'er looked around and immediately spotted a burly young man who was over two meters tall in the crowd.
Zhao Chengchen, 16 years old, is at the Great Perfection of the Bone Tempering Realm. He cultivates the Vajra Indestructibility Divine Skill and comes from the Vajra Sect.
The Vajra Sect is a small sect in the Western Regions.
It focuses on Body Refining, and all its techniques are Body Refining, resulting in extremely strong defensive capabilities.
At the same level, almost no one can break through their defenses.
Zhang Yunfeng was also looking at his opponent, number 105, who turned out to be a tall, beautiful woman wearing a floral dress.
Bai Wu, 22 years old, comes from the Demon-Sweeping Bureau. He cultivates the Qimen Escape Technique at the Qi Refining Realm First Layer.
Zhang Yunfeng opened the scan function of the Myriad Worlds Store and scanned the Bai Wu directly.
Karmic Force is zero.
"This is a bit troublesome!" Zhang Yunfeng frowned.
"What's the trouble? Just defeat him. What, you're hesitant to make a move because he's a beautiful woman?"
"If only I had Karmic Force, I wouldn't dare to use my full Karmic Force. The key point is, they're at the Qi Refining Realm."
"To beat her, I'll probably have to reveal some of my trump cards."
" The Qimen Escape Technique is quite troublesome," Lin Ying'er said.
"I know her. Qimen Escape Technique Yu Family technique, and its methods are quite strange. Be careful not to get trapped by Qimen Dunjia, or it will cause even more trouble."
"It's best to finish this quickly; getting bogged down in her Combat rhythm will cause a lot of trouble."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded, indicating that he understood.
He was also thinking about how to finish the battle quickly.
"However, there are quite a few people with Karmic Force!" Zhang Yunfeng added.
"There are quite a few. I can smell the scent of demonic disciples."
"What do you mean? You're saying there are members of the Demonic Sect among these people?"
"Yeah, see that kid in the black clothes over there? That's him!"
"People from the Demonic Sect dare to come to Mount Longhu? Are they crazy?"
"As long as the Demon Seed isn't activated, it will be difficult for others to discover his identity. This Land of Trials are likely to be even more interesting."
Zhang Yunfeng and Lin Ying'er were scanning things with their phones, which quickly caught the attention of the Celestial Master.
The Celestial Master also sensed a familiar energy emanating from the two of them.
Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki.
The Celestial Master also ordered these two abilities, so naturally he also knows them.
"So, the ones who were trying to steal my order were these two little ones!"
