Wu Renwang was startled upon hearing this, his brows furrowing slightly in an almost imperceptible manner. Why did the High Priest’s words seem to be covering for Wu Chen?
Could it be that Wu Chen didn’t cheat?
Or was the High Priest deliberately trying to ensure Wu Chen achieved good results?
Wu Renwang’s mind was racing, yet he had no evidence. After contemplating for a mont, he said, "High Priest, I suspect that Wu Chen’s Blood Sunflower wasn’t nurtured from the seed you gave him!"
He had no proof, only his inner suspicions.
Upon hearing this, the High Priest shook his head slightly, and then extended his hand. A tiny thread of Qi Force flew out from Lin Feng’s Blood Sunflower and entered his palm.
"I left a strand of Qi Force in every seed; therefore, your suspicion is groundless!" the High Priest stated solemnly. He knew Wu Chen hadn’t cheated, but explaining would dispel Wu Renwang’s doubts and those of the others.
"This...!" Wu Renwang was imdiately speechless. Could Lin Feng really have not cheated?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Perhaps... perhaps Wu Chen used his own Qi-Blood to stimulate the Blood Sunflower, so it didn’t absorb much Blood Evil Qi!" Wu Renwang suggested again, his words becoming increasingly unreasonable.
He had to find evidence of Wu Chen’s cheating; otherwise, not only would his first-place status be at risk, but he would also be falsely accusing soone, ruining his reputation.
"This possibility is even more unlikely!"
The High Priest shook his head again, explaining, "These Blood Sunflower seeds only absorb Blood Evil Qi, and there’s no possibility of cheating!"
"Perhaps he has other ans of cheating!" Wu Renwang’s expression turned completely dark as he spoke unwillingly.
"Enough! Wu Chen did not cheat, nor could he have cheated! Everyone, no need to dwell on this!"
The High Priest waved his hand to continue, "Wu Chen is indeed first in the second round!"
The High Priest determined the outco of this round with a single declaration, leaving no room for others to dispute.
Everyone’s hearts were filled with complex emotions. Did Wu Chen really not cheat? Then how did he nurture such a Blood Sunflower? Could it be that Wu Chen possessed the Three-Life Battle Soul? Only this could explain such a large Blood Sunflower.
Yet, Wu Chen having the Three-Life Battle Soul seed even less likely!
Those present couldn’t figure it out, left only to speculate that Wu Chen had otherworldly talent, a rare prodigy.
A few had expressions of discontent, like Wu Renwang, Wu Qiong, Wu Tianyu, and Wu Yuan, finding it hard to accept this outco.
Even though Wu Chen got first, it was the sa as those who normally passed the second test; it didn’t an he could pass future tests, but still, it left them displeased.
"Thank you, High Priest!" Lin Feng slightly cupped his fist toward the High Priest, demonstrating proper etiquette.
"Mm!"
The High Priest nodded with a slight smile, saying, "You are quite impressive, qualified to compete for Junior Officer!"
Upon these words, everyone was imdiately shaken.
Qualified to compete for Junior Officer?
The High Priest was obviously highly valuing Wu Chen!
Wu Renwang slightly clenched his fists, a flash of cold light flickering in his eyes. The position of Junior Officer was extrely important, and he was determined to win it; no one would be allowed to challenge him!
In the previous selection for Junior Officer, he was not chosen; this ti, he would secure the position no matter what.
"I will not disappoint the High Priest!" Lin Feng nodded earnestly, feeling a slight sense of relief, as he was closer to his goal, despite the suspense.
The High Priest nodded and then surveyed the crowd.
At this mont, 61 people remained who had passed the second round test, each a true genius.
"Now begins the third round; the test is the learning of Martial Technique. I will give you all the sa Martial Technique, one I recently created. After three days, whoever masters it to Great Success will pass the test!" The High Priest announced loudly the content of the third round test.
Everyone was surprised upon hearing this; the third round was testing the learning of Martial Technique, a test of comprehension.
Only, the ti of three days seed too short!
Of course, it depended on the level and difficulty of the Martial Technique; if it were ordinary King Level, one could reach Great Success in a day.
But if it were Venerate Level, three days wouldn’t be enough, even three years might not be enough to reach Great Achievent Realm.
"Although this martial technique is very simple, it is as hard as reaching the heavens for you to cultivate it to the Great Success stage in three days. If anyone passes this trial, they can beco a Junior Officer of the clan. If multiple people pass the test, the final decision on the Junior Officer will be based on strength!" the High Priest said solemnly.
After speaking, the High Priest pointed a finger, and instantly a thread of Qi Force shot out like lightning.
Before this Qi Force approached Lin Feng and the others, it suddenly split into sixty-one parts and then subrged into the heads of Lin Feng and the others.
Lin Feng and the others’ bodies trembled slightly, and imdiately, their minds were filled with so information, which was a thod of cultivating a martial technique.
"It’s not appropriate for you to cultivate here. To prevent any cheating by secretly transmitting ssages, all of you enter my space treasure!"
The High Priest spoke again, then flicked his sleeve, and an invisible force instantly enveloped Lin Feng and the others.
Before Lin Feng and the others could react, their figures disappeared, entering the High Priest’s space treasure.
Lin Feng only felt the scene before him change, and he found himself in an expansive wilderness.
He turned his head to look around. The wilderness was vast and boundless, imnse and infinite.
The wilderness was overgrown with lush vegetation, weeds were everywhere, and there were so short ancient trees, and in the distance, low mountains.
"Is this inside the High Priest’s space treasure?" Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled, wondering if Qingxuan might be here?
Lin Feng imdiately felt a bit excited, eager to find Qingxuan.
But soon, he suppressed this unrealistic thought. Not to ntion Qingxuan might not be here, even if she were, he couldn’t rescue her.
Once his identity is exposed, he will face certain death!
Moreover, since this area is within the High Priest’s space treasure, everything is surely under his watch.
His goal was already close to completion, he could not let impatience ruin it all!
Seeing no one around, Lin Feng guessed that the participants in this third trial had likely been separated.
Afterwards, he focused his mind, sat cross-legged, and began to learn the martial technique.
The position of Junior Officer was close at hand; he had to give it his all to seize it.
Lin Feng carefully sensed the martial technique in his mind; the martial technique transmitted by the High Priest was a swordsmanship called.
However, to perform this swordsmanship, a sword was not needed, for it emphasized that everything in heaven and earth could be a sword.
Every grass, tree, flower, and stone, everything could beco the sword in your hand.
"What a mysterious swordsmanship!" Lin Feng marveled inwardly, this Witch Clan High Priest could create such a mysterious swordsmanship, worthy of being a superpower at the Martial Saint Realm.
Following that, Lin Feng carefully contemplated the swordsmanship and discovered that this swordsmanship had no division of levels, and the cultivation difficulty wasn’t very high.
The power of this swordsmanship depended on the cultivator’s cultivation, control, and understanding of the swordsmanship.
In other words, when this swordsmanship was cultivated to Great Achievent, it could be very powerful or very weak, entirely depending on the cultivator’s skill.
A short while later, Lin Feng read the swordsmanship several tis but did not rush to cultivate it; instead, he carefully pondered its intricacies in his mind.
Truth be told, this swordsmanship was simple; once he understood the principles, he could imdiately perform it.
However, to exert powerful force, there was so difficulty.
"Rise!"
After quietly contemplating for an hour, Lin Feng softly exclaid, raised his hand, and all stones, dead leaves, weeds, etc., within a hundred feet around him floated up.
"Go!" Lin Feng pointed forward, and countless stones and dead leaves shot out like speeding lightning.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Boom!
Stones and dead leaves turned a large ancient tree several miles away into a sieve, after which the ancient tree toppled with a loud crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"The power is too weak!" Lin Feng shook his head; this way of using everything as a sword could be perford by martial artists at his level, but it lacked power.
This swordsmanship uses a special thod to employ spiritual power to move all things, then likewise uses spiritual power as the guide to channel force into all things, thus forming great power.
The forr is relatively easy, but the latter is sowhat more difficult.
