C67 The Man in Black with Broken Fingers

6th day of the Heavenly Tower Conference.

On the first platform, there was an open space at the edge of the area. There were a few large rocks on the open space, and behind the rocks, there was a youth sleeping soundly.

Mingsi was hugging a rock, and his clothes were in a mess.

It was only when the light from the sky shone down on his eyeballs that Mingsi slightly moved. He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to take out the space bag that was wrapped around his chest.

He took out a water bottle from the space bag and washed up slightly. Mingsi began to meditate.

One day in the morning, Mingsi had the habit of meditating in the morning because he felt very comfortable during this period of time.

He was so tired every day, and it was rare for him to maintain a tranquil state of mind. This was what Mingsi wanted to do - cultivate the state of mind.

Chenjing had told the students long before Mingsi had entered the Southern Pearl Institute. Cultivators only cultivated three things in their life. First, they cultivated spiritual energy, second, and third they cultivated their mental state.

However, Mingsi's understanding of the three things was also shallow. After all, he was only fifteen years old, and he had only cultivated for half a year.

After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Mingsi stopped meditating. He stood up and looked at the central area of the platform. There were many people gathered there. Almost all the students who had landed on the platform were gathered there.

"I think senior brother and the others will be here in half a day. I'll go and take a look first. " Mingsi tidied his clothes and strode towards the human area.

Mingsi first went to the trade area. After exchanging the Spirit Core for spirit points in the Spirit Core Pavilion, he did not go to buy supplies. In his eyes, the things here were very mysterious and profound. He did not know what was suitable for him to buy, and it was worth it. That was why he had to wait until Guu Yulou and the others arrived before he went to buy them.

In the path of ascension, students could attack each other. The only requirement was that no one could die. It was the same on the platform.

However, no one would rashly make a move. After all, there were too many eyes here. Moreover, there were many people who wanted to be the fisherman. There were no weaklings among the students who could make it to the hundredth floor. They all had their own thoughts. Although there was no big fight, there would still be small friction.

Of course, Mingsi did not want to cause trouble. He planned to stay in trade area all the time, because there was no place for him to cause trouble there. Mingsi only strolled along the streets of trade area.

He had been walking in the trading zone for two hours, but he still didn't feel tired. The items here were too attractive. He had a wide range of hobbies, so he had to observe every new item for a long time before leaving.

Mingsi had seen hundreds of magic scrolls in the Spirit Magic Pavilion, but they were all low grade spirit spells. On the first big platform, Mingsi saw a few special spells in the Spirit Spell Pavilion.

The material of the magic skin scroll was almost the same as the Wind of Death he had. Mingsi knew that those were middle-grade spiritual spells!

Looking at the spirit points needed to exchange for these middle-grade spirit techniques, Mingsi was also shocked. Any random scroll required four spirit points!

Four spirit points!

While Mingsi was shocked, There was also doubt. Why did he pick up such a precious spiritual technique? Before, he had only thought that it was good luck, but now that he knew the value of a middle-grade spirit technique, he began to seriously think about it.

"What exactly is the Heavenly Tower Trial. . . " Mingsi pondered as he walked.

Suddenly, a figure quickly walked past in front of him, drawing his attention.

What he saw was only a back view. If it was just the back of a person. . . Mingsi wouldn't have paid much attention to it. However, it wasn't as simple as the back view.

The man was wearing black clothes. Judging from the material and style, it should be the uniform of a certain academy. However, this back view gave Mingsi a somewhat familiar feeling.

Mingsi quickly followed, and his field of vision slowly moved downwards. When he swept his gaze over the lower half of the black clothed man, he saw a palm stretching out from within the sleeve.

It was an ordinary palm of a young man. At the end of the palm, the position of his pinky was empty!

It was a person who had lost a finger!

When Mingsi saw the palm, he stopped in his tracks. It wasn't unusual for one's skin to be missing. Just like Mingsi himself, he was also a person who had lost an arm.

However, when Mingsi saw the broken finger on the palm, he had an inexplicable feeling. This feeling urged him to keep following the black clothed man.

When he walked out of the trade area, Mingsi was always following behind the black clothed man. The doubts in his heart were getting stronger and stronger. A feeling of wanting to know who the other party was actually gradually occupied his mind. Under the influence of this strange feeling, Mingsi actually walked forward quickly and surpassed the black clothed man.

As he passed by, Mingsi turned his head to look at that person.

What Mingsi saw was a cold face. Although it was the body of a young man, it had a slightly aged face. There was a shallow scar from the bottom of his eyes to the corner of his mouth.

With just a glance, Mingsi was stunned. At this moment, Mingsi's heart was like a surging wave.

At the same time, the black clothed man also looked at Mingsi from the corner of his eyes. He knew that someone was following him, but he didn't pay attention to it. However, the person following him had actually sped up and surpassed him. It made him pay a little attention. When Mingsi passed by him, he also looked towards Mingsi. What he saw. . . It was a slightly immature face with an ordinary appearance. It was so ordinary that it could not be any more ordinary. However, with a glance, this black clothed man also paused in its footsteps.

The two of them looked at each other and were both stunned on the spot.

Mingsi moved first. His eyes widened slightly, and his face revealed a look of disbelief. At the same time, the Spiritual Qi under his feet surged, and he turned around and started running wildly.

The black clothed man's reaction was not slow either. Almost at the moment when Mingsi took a step forward, he reacted.

"It's that kid!" The black clothed man coldly snorted. The surprise on its face disappeared and was replaced by ruthlessness and gloominess. He instantly cast a spell and ran towards the direction Mingsi had run to.

Mingsi felt the sound coming from behind him. He did not turn his head, but increased the speed of his spirit energy, and his footsteps became even faster.

"Damn it! How could this be!?" When Mingsi first saw the appearance of the black clothed man, he knew who it was. He finally understood why he was so curious about that person's severed finger.

Because this person was one of the many black clothed man that attacked the students of the Spirit Academy at the Small Saber Spirit Gathering, the person who cut off his left arm! How could Mingsi forget this person!

Mingsi was very angry, but when he recognized the black clothed man, his first reaction was to run. No matter how angry he was, in his heart, there was still the shadow of having his arm cut off that day.

At this time, they were already outside the trading zone. When Mingsi surpassed the black clothed man, he could no longer retreat. Now, he could only run forward. Mingsi injected all his spiritual energy into his legs, and at the same time, he kept throwing out gusts of wind.

The black clothed man looked at Mingsi who was running faster and faster in front of him, and was slightly startled. He dodged the wind that was flying in front of him, and with a serious expression, he said, "This kid actually didn't die! Could it be that an unforeseen event occurred that day!?"

The more the black clothed man thought about it, the more solemn his expression became. His Spiritual Qi also swiftly surged. His speed was not slow, and he was vaguely about to catch up to Mingsi.

After several dozen breaths of time, Mingsi had already left the trade area. A few hundred meters in front of him was the next level's dimensional portal.

Mingsi felt relieved when he saw the dimensional portal from afar.

"I have no choice but to go in first. I can't stay here any longer!" Mingsi planned to leave first and avoid the black clothed man. After that, he would think of a way to inform the people of the Heavenly Tower. He had to report this news as soon as possible.

However, just as Mingsi reached the entrance of the spatial zone. . . Three figures slowly walked towards Mingsi. These three people were all dressed in fiery red courtyard uniforms. Mingsi recognized them at a glance.

"People from the Holy Spirit Academy of the Central Plains!"

Mingsi could tell who they were. Of course, he also knew why they were walking towards him. Presumably, it was Faang Ning who had provoked him, and told the other people of the Sacred Spirit Academy about the conflict between him and the Southern Pearl Institute. At this moment, when they saw Mingsi, who was wearing the uniform of the Southern Pearl Institute, the three of them walked over to seek revenge.

However, Mingsi was only focused on escaping, and didn't pay any attention to the people in front of him.

The three of them were about to stop Mingsi, but they didn't expect that Mingsi would ignore them. This was a huge difference compared to their relaxed and overbearing imposing manner just now, and they were instantly enraged.

"You guys from Southern Pearl Institute, stop right there!" One of the three men spoke. At the same time, he waved his hand and a wooden vine appeared, intending to tie Mingsi up.

Mingsi leaned to the side. He rolled to the side, and when he stood up again, he was already surrounded by the three men.

Mingsi turned around and looked behind him. He found that the black clothed man was about to arrive.

"Move aside!" Mingsi shouted at the three men in front of him. At the same time, he braced himself and rushed forward.

Under normal circumstances, Mingsi could actually run away from these people who were obviously higher level than him. However, he had no choice but to move forward because there were even more terrifying people behind him.

When the three of them saw that Mingsi didn't dodge or run away, they snorted coldly, "A mere low level expert dares to attack us?"

After saying that, one of the three men made a grabbing motion with his palm, and a suction force emerged. Mingsi, who was already charging forward, was pulled by a strong gust of wind. Just as he was about to be grabbed, Mingsi pushed out a double petal wind lotus with his left arm. The lotus flower fluttered quickly and suddenly exploded beside Mingsi and the three men.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Mingsi once again rolled to the side.

The three of them wanted to attack again, but at this time, the black clothed man had already arrived in front of them.

"Get lost!" The people of the Holy Spirit Academy of the Central Plains were arrogant to begin with. When they saw someone approaching, even if it wasn't a hindrance, they wouldn't allow him to get close. At this moment, they berated the black clothed man.

The black clothed man didn't look at them. In his eyes, there was only Mingsi.

When the three students of the Holy Spirit Academy saw that they were being ignored, they couldn't help but become even angrier and didn't say much. They threw a spell at him.

Initially, the black clothed man didn't pay any attention to these three people. It didn't expect them to attack directly. A cold glint flashed across his cold face. "We cannot delay any longer. We must capture that brat and ask him about it!"

The black clothed man's body immediately emitted a piercing light. Then, the light disappeared. After that, he ran away in front of the three of them.

The three of them felt a blinding light. When they came back to their senses, they found that the black clothed man in front of them had already disappeared.

"You three trash, can you see my photographic camouflage?" The corner of the black clothed man's mouth carried a slight hint of ridicule. Then, he cast another spell.

"Extreme Shadow Flash!"

His figure lit up once again. At this time, the three from the Holy Spirit Academy of the Central Plains finally reacted. The black clothed man had already run behind them. However, before they could do anything else, the black clothed man casted another spell, heading towards the direction where Mingsi had left.

Mingsi was running desperately in front of him. From the moment the black clothed man was blocked to the moment he turned into a beam of light and chased after him, it only took him a few breaths of time. He didn't even run far before the sound of breaking wind came from behind him.

Mingsi's heart sank. At this critical moment, his eyes revealed a decisive look. He immediately threw down a wind lotus from the bottom of his feet. Then, he stomped down, and the wind lotus exploded. A huge impact force blasted Mingsi to the side.

Mingsi groaned, and a trace of blood was left on the corner of his mouth. However, he didn't care about it at all. He just increased his speed.

The black clothed man saw Mingsi's actions from behind and was shocked. He did not expect Mingsi to be so decisive. He actually used magic to blow himself up, causing the distance between them to increase by a little.

This small distance wasn't a problem to begin with. However, at this moment, the black clothed man's face was gloomy because he saw a crack in front of Mingsi.

The platform was formed by huge rocks. There were some areas where the huge rocks had yet to completely heal, causing some cracks to appear on the platform. Beneath the cracks was a stretch of darkness. The students who fell into it would be directly transported out of the Heavenly Tower. Although there was no danger to their lives, they had lost the qualifications to continue the trial.

Mingsi had long seen the crack. When he saw the terrifying speed of the black clothed man behind him, his brain operated rapidly. He realized that other than jumping into the crack, there was no other way to avoid this disaster.

Mingsi gritted his teeth and jumped into the dark crack on the platform.

The black clothed man stopped at the edge of the platform. Looking at the rapidly descending Mingsi, his face was extremely gloomy. He suddenly waved his hand and a dazzling arrow of light shot towards Mingsi.

A burning sensation hit his face. Mingsi watched the black clothed man throw out a beam of light at him. At this moment, his heart was filled with complicated feelings. Even though he was afraid, he was also angry. In the next moment, he shouted at the man in black, "Son of a b * tch! You are dead for sure! You can't kill me!"

Mingsi quickly summoned the Spirit Gathering Tower from his portal bag and poured his spiritual energy into it. At the same time, his psychic power pulled the surrounding spiritual energy towards the Spirit Gathering Shield. Not long after, an illusory shield appeared in front of Mingsi. A beam of light shot over. The scorching spiritual energy and the spiritual energy on the spiritual shield eroded each other. Finally, seven or eight layers were reduced. The beam of light pierced through the Spirit Gathering Shield's light screen and hit the shield.

The shield fiercely smashed onto Mingsi's body, pushing him down.

Mingsi was hit by the shield until he spat out a mouthful of blood. The viciousness in his eyes did not diminish. He stared fixedly at the black clothed man above him, "One day, I will kill you with my own hands!"

After that, Mingsi fell down and disappeared from the black clothed man's field of vision.
