According to Ye Feng’s capabilities, as long as he used True Essence, he could have broken through to the exit in about a minute.
However, Ye Feng didn’t use his True Essence and instead used his fists, constantly striking the debris with his own strength.
"Can you still walk?" Ye Feng asked Asuka Hana as they erged from the tunnel.
Asuka Hana nodded, "Mm..."
"Hisss~~" But after taking just one step, Asuka Hana felt a sharp pain from her wounds that made her gasp. After all, Asuka Hana was a girl.
Though she was rather skilled, she had hardly ever been injured from childhood, spoiled and delicate, so this pain forced a grimace from Asuka Hana.
At that mont, a gentle warmth from a chest was transferred to her body.
Ye Feng, without her noticing, had co in front of Asuka Hana, and before she could react, he swept her into a princess carry.
"Ye Feng... you..." Instantly, Asuka Hana’s cheeks reddened, heat rushed to her head, and she felt extrely embarrassed. Never in her life had she felt so bashful.
Stamring and unable to et Ye Feng’s eyes, Asuka Hana said, "Ye Feng, let down quickly..."
"Keep quiet. If you walk by yourself, we will be late. We don’t have much ti!" Ye Feng spoke calmly.
Although his words were gentle, they imposed a feeling on Asuka Hana that she could not resist. She reluctantly nodded and closed her mouth.
Ye Feng carried Asuka Hana quickly. Despite holding her, Ye Feng’s pace was incredibly swift, seemingly unaffected. Throughout the high-speed movent, Asuka Hana felt surprisingly at ease.
Within Ye Feng’s embrace, Asuka Hana could feel stability without any jolting. Ye Feng’s chest seed like a warm harbor, providing imnse comfort to Asuka Hana.
Unconsciously, Asuka Hana pressed her face against Ye Feng’s chest, soaking in his warmth and feeling his powerful heartbeat. She felt suprely secure and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Ti passed, and dawn’s first light began to spread across the sky, signaling that morning was imminent. Reaching the other side of the forest, Miyagi Ryoyu and another Late-stage Innate Grandmaster stood at the finish line.
A large fortress appeared, surrounded by high electric fences, loaded with high voltage and monitored by surveillance caras. And patrolling the area were Martial Artists who had reached Inner Strength.
At the sole entrance, the endpoint of their trial stood beside Miyagi Ryoyu, a middle-aged man in a blue robe, handso and dashing. Despite his age, he still exuded an incredible charm, unaffected by age.
This man exuded a powerful aura, a vast heavenly force emanating from him, overwhelming. He was one of the Seven-Colored Envoys, the Ice Envoy, second only in rank to the four leaders within the Luoying Divine Organization.
The Ice Envoy, only seventy yet appearing as if forty, possessed a strength nearing a Legendary realm, extraordinarily formidable.
Frowning as he looked into the depths of the Underground Forest, the Ice Envoy thought, "Strange, with less than ten minutes left, they should have arrived by now. As long as one reaches the pinnacle of Inner Strength, they have over a fifty percent chance of making it through the Underground Forest. Yet, why do I see no one?"
Miyagi Ryoyu, outwardly calm but inwardly frantic, knew the reason. He had made everyone enter the tunnel, and later, to ensure his own survival, he even sealed the entrance after startling the Undying Bird—a move that assured no one else could survive.
This trial would only see Miyagi Ryoyu and the young man as survivors.
Certainly, that was sothing Miyagi Ryoyu could never confess.
The Ice Envoy, looking between Miyagi Ryoyu and the young man, asked coldly, "Did either of you see anyone else along the way?"
The Late-stage Innate young man shook his head, "I was alone from the mont I entered the forest, and didn’t see anyone else until I ca out."
"Mm..." The Ice Envoy nodded, pondering that indeed, with Late-stage Innate capabilities, one could easily traverse the Underground Forest without provoking any formidable Demon Beasts.
Miyagi Ryoyu added, "Lord Ice Envoy, I saw no one else either."
With a frown, the Ice Envoy declared, "All useless, so many people and not one made it through! It seems it’s just the two of you today."
Hearing the Ice Envoy’s words, Miyagi Ryoyu and the young man nodded.
"Co on, I’ll register you. Rest for a day, then you’ll join the First Layer Heaven," said the Ice Envoy.
Miyagi Ryoyu and the young man nodded, then began looking forward to it.
They knew within Luoying, there were ten major cultivation lands: First Layer Heaven to Fourth Layer Heaven where novice mbers stayed. Interdiate mbers occupied Fifth to Sixth Layers, and senior mbers stayed from Seventh to Nine Layers. The tenth layer, called Outer Heaven, was where the core mbers lived.
Generally, First Layer Heaven housed beginner stages, Middle Innate to Late Ini ...
