C137 Final Trial

Because there were only two people, Uncle Tian and Zuo Feng, and Zuo Feng's cultivation was higher than before, so his speed was clearly much faster than last time.

Even so, the two of them still entered the mountain range shrouded in thick fog and rested in the small stone house for the night. Although Zuo Feng was worried about those people in Yan City, the time for the survival training had already been set. Even if he arrived early, the survival training would still start at the scheduled time.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the mist in the sky onto the canyon, Zuo Feng slowly opened his eyes in a patch of grass that was filled with the fragrance of flowers. It was still hard for him to sleep tonight, so he decided to come here to cultivate. Even though it had been more than an hour, Zuo Feng still couldn't calm down. However, when he accidentally saw the plain pendant on his chest, his whole heart immediately went silent.

That white figure seemed to have appeared countless times within his dreams, causing Zuo Feng to feel a faint aching pain in his heart whenever he thought of her. But this time, for some reason, when he looked at the pendant, his heart was as calm as if his whole body was immersed in ice water.

On the peak of a mountain several tens of thousands of kilometers away, a beautiful girl dressed in white stood against the wind as she looked into the distance. The girl gently raised her palm as an exquisite looking old dagger appeared in her hand. As she looked at the girl with the dagger, her expression softened. Then, he slowly raised his other hand. A snow-white longsword was tightly gripped in his palm.

This young lady was Shen Die who left Yan City with Huan Sheng. Just as Zuo Feng was looking at the pendant in a daze, Shen Die was also looking at the dagger and the long sword in her hands. Both items were not considered treasures, but from the looks of it, even the rare treasures could not replace the items in her hands.

After Zuo Feng's thoughts were gradually withdrawn, his state of mind also became calmer. This time, he very naturally entered a state of cultivation. The spiritual energy that contained traces of electric arcs flowed through his meridians, and after circulating one cycle, it spread to his limbs and bones. After nourishing all parts of his body, the Spiritual Energy gathered back in his Na Hai like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The process may sound simple, but it would take more than an hour to complete a cycle like this. In this process of nourishing his body, not only would his cultivation not increase, it would even become stagnant or regress because of the loss of the pure spiritual energy in his body.

However, Zuo Feng was not an ordinary martial artist. He had the "Spiritual Condensation Pill" that Ning Xiao had left him. After combining it with the "Spiritual Pregnancy Pill" from the last trial. At this moment, it was as if Zuo Feng was carrying a large storage of spiritual energy, and he could use the pure spiritual energy on his own whenever he wanted.

This was also the reason why Zuo Feng had insisted on taking the "Spiritual Pregnancy Pill". The benefits were just like what Zuo Feng was doing now. While nourishing his body and transforming it, he could also continuously improve his cultivation. Ordinary warriors could only concentrate on one of them. In comparison, Zuo Feng's cultivation speed was much faster than ordinary people.

When the wisps of sunlight fell on Zuo Feng's shoulder, he had just finished circulating his Qi. Although Zuo Feng did not sleep that night, he felt that his spirit, breath and spirit were more abundant than ever before. This was the first time that he was in such good condition after not sleeping for the whole night.

"It would be great if he could use the Spiritual Qi within the pill in a fight."

Zuo Feng mumbled to himself and finally shook his head with a light smile.

Xiao Yan stood up and randomly moved his body. Finally, his gaze landed on a small protrusion on his hand. He murmured to himself, "If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will depend on you." The tiny protrusion on the edge of his palm was naturally the nanocrystalline crystal embedded in Zuo Feng's hand.

"Kid, from the looks of it, you seem to be in good shape today?"

Zuo Feng tilted his head slightly and looked at Uncle Tian, who had just walked out of the stone house. A bright smile appeared on his face and he said, "Uncle Tian, you are up too. Let's go quickly."

Uncle Tian looked Zuo Feng up and down for a moment. He felt that Zuo Feng seemed to have changed a lot over the course of the night, but after closer inspection, he didn't feel that anything had changed. While Uncle Tian was still confused, Zuo Feng had already turned around and was leading the way towards the forest.

The old and young duo quickly arrived at the gray stone tower. As he got closer and closer to the tower, Zuo Feng's gaze kept scanning the top of the tower. Although he wasn't sure what was up there, he was determined to find out.

At this moment, only a few scattered people had arrived at the bottom of the spiral tower. However, after Zuo Feng and Uncle Tian arrived, the old man surnamed Hong announced, "Since all the participants of the final trial have arrived, let us begin immediately."

Uncle Tian and Zuo Feng were both slightly stunned as they looked at the few people present in confusion. The Tower Guarding Elder in green saw the doubt in their hearts, and slowly said, "This trial does not have any prizes, and even the final victor does not have any prizes. But I think everyone should know about this trial, and there's no way that it's for that prize. "

After the elder said that, he casually glanced at the county governor, Uncle Tian, and Zuo Feng. It was obvious that he had said the last words for them. Zuo Feng followed the gaze of the old man and looked over. A red-faced old man and a bald young man in long robes were there as well.

Zuo Feng had met that red-faced old man before. Last time, he was the one in charge of leading the team to participate in the trial. This youth's aura seemed to have just reached the Bone Refining stage, which surprised Zuo Feng.

The last time he defeated Teng Li, he was already at the fifth level of the Bone Refining stage after using all sorts of methods. Since they valued this smelting trial so much, why did they send such an insignificant early Bone Refining stage martial artist to participate? Zuo Feng was paying particular attention to this abnormal situation, and Uncle Tian's thoughts were similar to Zuo Feng's. At this moment, he had a serious expression on his face as he remained silent.

Zuo Feng casually swept his eyes over the other teams and discovered that they were all unfamiliar faces that he had not seen in the last exam. Moreover, these people were all looking at him with gazes filled with hostility. After some thought, Zuo Feng understood the reason. It was likely that the county governor had made some sort of promise to the other forces, just like last time.

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng did not mind too much. Although the cultivation base of these people could be considered extraordinary, the only person he was wary of was the bald youth sent by the county governor.

The old man let out a dry cough. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, he slowly said, "Because this is different from the previous trials, we also made some changes to the mechanism of the spiral tower. All participants will go directly from the outside stairs to the third floor. "

Pausing, the elder continued, "The other rules are the same as the previous trials, the door to enter is up to you guys to choose. "Regardless of the matches, in the end, a person walked out from the outer ring of the fifth floor as the winner."

Zuo Feng quietly listened as the old man finished talking, and then he noticed that many gazes had gathered on him, as if paying a lot of attention to Zuo Feng's movements. Although Zuo Feng didn't pay much attention to it, the thoughts of these people were clearly reflected in his mind.

Zuo Feng looked at the spiral staircase outside the tower and saw that it led directly to the third floor. He then started walking up. Just as the left wind was moving forward, a few figures followed from behind. As for the bald man in the long gown, he didn't move at all. He stood silently at the bottom of the spiral tower, watching.

When Zuo Feng arrived at the third floor, he casually found an open path and walked in. After seeing that Zuo Feng had chosen this path, the two young warriors behind him looked at each other and walked into the two tunnels on the left and right as if they had already made a plan beforehand.

However, just as the two entered the tunnel, Zuo Feng's figure walked out from the tunnel that had originally disappeared. Seeing this, the bald man, who had been motionless, suddenly frowned. However, a moment later, he smirked and strode towards the third floor of the spiral tower.

Although it was only a slight expression, Zuo Feng could see it clearly. After scanning the left and right tunnels with his gaze, he turned around and walked into a distant tunnel.

Since this was not the first time he had been here, Zuo Feng felt that the mechanism inside the cave seemed to be slightly different from the one he had entered before. However, this was most likely caused by the elder guarding the tower.

A large hall appeared in front of him. Zuo Feng walked in quickly, and there was no one inside. Zuo Feng looked around and then found a corner to sit down at. At the same time, he closed his eyes and quickly entered the empty state. At this time, Zuo Feng was not using his cultivation technique, but simply adjusting his aura and condition.

About an hour later, Zuo Feng walked into the hall in the middle of the third floor with a baffled look on his face. Looking at the pillar in the center of the hall, Zuo Feng walked into the stone gate uncertainly. Then, the stone gate slowly closed. When he walked out again, he was already at the fourth level of the spiral tower.

There was also a reason for Zuo Feng's accident. After he entered the hall on the third floor, he waited for a long time, but no one came. Seeing that no one had appeared in a quarter of an hour, Zuo Feng walked into the long opened tunnel with astonishment. As a result, he didn't run into anyone on the third floor and directly came to the fourth floor.

"This confused Zuo Feng, and he confirmed his decision when he was on the third floor." If he hadn't entered another passage earlier, he might have met one of the two people following him. Or... 'Or two people might appear at the same time.'

Zuo Feng thought this in his heart. He had long since scoffed at the so-called 'fairness' of this spiral tower. The premise of fairness was that one must have the same background as the other, otherwise that 'fairness' would at most be a gimmick for the ignorant.
