Ugh--!
The sound of something breaking through the air was powerful, and the stone forest trembled.
The group of five sped along, and although they were only on foot, their speed was still extremely fast, creating a howling wind, covering hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
After all, even the weakest person in charge is a Knight.
On the way, the person in charge and Mo Yan spoke one after another, introducing the information about the alien sealers.
"That royal member named Mo Duo is truly powerful. He has mastered three Title Mystic Truth, covering attack, defense, and speed respectively, and his comprehension of each is over 50%. You could say he has no weaknesses!"
Mo Yan's expression was solemn as he said, "To be honest, even if I comprehend half of both my Heaven-Battling Mystic Truth and Black Hardness Mystic Truth, I'm not confident I can defeat him!"
The person in charge added, " Mo Duo reached the seventh floor of the Genius Assessment Tower that appeared at the Moon God Ruins a few months ago!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
He had heard from the merchant about that assessment tower; it mainly tested combat strength within the same realm, and the highest record so far was 70%.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ning Chuan heard the person in charge say, " Mo Duo is one of the record holders, and there's another one, a Second-Heaven Divine General from the Federation!"
Ning Chuan clicked his tongue in surprise.
Even Divine General can be tested; that testing tower is even more extraordinary than he imagined.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chuan asked, " Mo Yan, what about you? Did you go to take on the challenge?"
"Through six levels."
Mo Yan nodded, took out a black card with six blood moons printed on it, and said helplessly, "However, I still can't get past the seventh level. The restrictions are too harsh; it requires me to use a martial art I've just learned."
Ning Chuan glanced at the black card; he had one too, purchased at the Winter Welcoming Festival.
But there were only two blood moons.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ya turned to Ning Chuan and said, "After dealing with the alien sealers, let's go to the assessment tower to obtain the Genius Qualification Certificate first, and then explore the ruins."
"Good."
Ning Chuan nodded.
Genius Qualification Certificate represents a privilege that grants secure access to many areas.
Having this will make finding the Spirit-Awakening Flower much easier.
Beside him, the person in charge smiled and flattered, saying, "With World Walker's strength, he can definitely pass through more than seven levels and break Mo Duo's record!"
"In this way, the prestige of the Federation can be further enhanced!"
Mo Yan said excitedly, "The current atmosphere in the Moon God Ruins directly links the number of levels cleared to talent level. Getting first place is no less effective than defeating Mo Duo!"
I tried my best.
Ning Chuan smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. How many levels could he reach?
As they talked, the group of five continued to venture deeper into the Dark Stone Forest.
Several hours later.
A long stretch of buildings came into view in Ning Chuan. The buildings were unique in style and lay across the stone forest, stretching as far as the eye could see.
" Hunting Town!"
Ning Chuan stared intently, recognizing it.
It is speculated that the area was once a residential area.
As for its name and what species it once inhabited, no one knows anymore.
Because of the relatively high probability of obtaining the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid and Moon Spirit, the town is both risky and rewarding, earning it the name "Hunting Town" from many adventurers.
Suddenly, Ning Chuan stopped in his tracks, instantly coming to a complete halt.
Seeing this, the others also stopped. Qin Ya looked at Ning Chuan and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "I think I've discovered the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid."
Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback.
They did not see the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid.
"Where?"
Mo Yan looked around.
He had spent three days investigating the Hunting Town, but found nothing.
"Underground."
Ning Chuan said directly, then took a few steps to the west, opened his right hand, and a dazzling Force surged forth, piercing the ground, pushing aside the soil, and quickly burrowing into the earth.
Soon after, the Force returned along its original path, swirling into a bowl shape, containing a small ball of translucent liquid that emitted a faint fluorescent glow.
It is indeed Spirit-Nourishing Liquid!
There were about ten drops.
"How... how did you find out?!"
Qin Ya walked closer, peered into the hole created by the Force, and was incredulous.
It is at least two or three hundred meters deep.
Her spiritual power had already been vaporized, and spreading three hundred meters was no problem.
The key issue is that it can't be maintained for long; it runs out quickly.
Ning Chuan's discovery couldn't have been a spur-of-the-moment investigation; otherwise, it would have been too much of a coincidence.
"A martial art," Ning Chuan said.
Mo Yan looked on with envy and said, "This martial art is too powerful! It's practically a perfect tool for finding the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid Elixir!"
The person in charge stood aside, agreeing wholeheartedly, saying, "The location where the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid appears is unpredictable; often, it's out of sight."
"They are quite strong."
Ning Chuan smiled.
He knew very well that his ability to use his Divine Sense to find the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid was mainly due to his continuous cultivation of the Spirit Forging Meditation Method, constantly replenishing his depleted spiritual energy.
Even if someone else cultivated the Heavenly Derivation Art to the Perfect Realm, they would not be able to do it.
Ning Chuan, are you selling this martial art?
Mo Yan's heart stirred.
Ning Chuan said, " The Martial Seal is not in my possession."
As they spoke, Ning Chuan, Qin Ya, and Elder Nie all turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the Hunting Town to the north.
Mo Yan and the person in charge, not understanding what was going on, turned around.
In the field of vision, a monster flew low overhead, composed of ethereal light and mist, more than ten feet tall, and shaped like a human.
However, the face was blurry and indistinct, as if a semi-transparent gauze had been used to cover the face, making it look terrifying and eerie.
Ning Chuan looked it up and down and said, "This must be the Moon Spirit."
Indeed, as Elder Nie said, the operation was carried out quietly.
Even with his incredibly sharp senses, he didn't notice it; he only discovered it through his Divine Sense.
"Um."
Qin Ya nodded and said, " Elite-Class Moon Spirit are quite rare. They probably smelled the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid you dug up."
Moon Spirit like to consume Spirit-Nourishing Liquid, which allows them to evolve.
There are roughly three levels.
They are respectively:
General level;
Elite level;
Lord Class.
Their strength is roughly equivalent to that of Martial Artist, Knight, and Divine General in the Federation.
The latter two are extremely rare, especially Lord-Class Moon Spirit, which are practically impossible to encounter. Explorers most often encounter Common-level Moon Spirit.
Should we drive it away?
Elder Nie asked casually, his expression calm.
For ordinary explorers, encountering an Elite-Class Moon Spirit is tantamount to annihilation, and survival is extremely difficult.
However, even Lord-Class Moon Spirit posed no threat to their team.
"Not yet. I want to test Moon Spirit's methods and gain some combat experience."
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment.
"No problem!"
Elder Nie smiled broadly, saying that Ning Chuan never forgot his cultivation, which made him very gratified.
Qin Ya gazed at Ning Chuan with concern, saying, "Be extremely careful. Not only is Moon Spirit's movement stealthy, but her attacks are also difficult to trace."
"Okay, Instructor Qin."
Ning Chuan nodded, faced the Elite-Class Moon Spirit, and without holding back, directly unleashed the Divine Treasury of Ten Thousand Weapons.
He had never witnessed the attack of immune substances before.
Buzz! Buzz!
Space distorted, and two golden Stars appeared, dazzlingly bright, like blazing suns illuminating the Dark Stone Forest.
Ning Chuan's two strongest Divine Weapon, Heavenly Punishment and Army Breaker, extended their sharp blades, shimmering with divine light.
The next moment, with a loud boom, it shot out rapidly, as if gathering the power of the entire Stars, and attacked the incoming Elite-Class Moon Spirit!
