Chapter 58 Preliminary Round

  Yefeng scratched his head and smiled: "Just curious, senior continue to say, continue to say..."

  "At first, these ferocious demons came to the nine states, burning, killing, looting and doing all sorts of evil. The ordinary people in each state were unable to resist the invasion of these beasts with their own abilities, so they had no choice but to seek help from the immortal sects in each state. As a result, the leaders of the immortal sects in each state decided to send special envoys to guard the boundaries leading to the 'Demon Realm'."

  "I said how come I didn't run into any fierce demons, it turned out they were all sealed away."

  Luo Yunfei sighed, "After all, the number of top masters from each sect is limited. They can only seal away low-level fierce demons and some high-level demon kings will still be tempted to sneak into Jiuzhou despite the risk of being beaten back to their original form."

  "Are there even more formidable evil spirits?"

  "The level of ferocity is also determined by the size of the star that was swallowed. The larger the star, the stronger the ferocious beast's power will be. For example, if a normal wolf swallows a fist-sized ferocious star, its body won't be able to withstand the surge in power and it will explode. But if it swallows a star the size of a fingernail, it will become a low-level first-class ferocious beast."

  Yefeng furrowed his brow and asked, "Isn't a first-class fierce demon just a bit more ferocious than an ordinary wild beast?"

  "It's not just a little fierce, if it were an ordinary wild wolf, even if it swallowed a small violent star, its body would absorb the power of the violent star and transform into a two-meter-tall werewolf, with strength several dozen times that of the original wild wolf."

  Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Although the evil spirits are formidable, I think our strength is still not enough. Otherwise, we can directly sweep away the 'Evil Spirit Realm'."

  Luo Yunfei glared at Ye Feng: "You little brat, you really think it's easy to get rid of fierce demons? The Fierce Demon Realm also has many hidden experts. Some fierce demons have abilities that allow them to devour larger fierce stars and increase their power even further. It's said that top-level tenth-grade fierce demons possess intelligence equal to humans and can even speak, but I've never seen one before."

  Ye Feng smiled slightly: "I've long heard that the nine states are home to many masters, and each sect has gathered their strongest experts. The small and evil demon realm shouldn't be a problem, right?"

  Luo Yun shook his head, "Actually, the masters of various sects had once joined forces to enter the 'Cruel Demon Realm' together, wanting to completely eradicate the cruel demons. However, it was later discovered that each large cruel star would sporadically spew out numerous small or large cruel stars at irregular intervals. Even the top masters of the Nine States were unable to calculate the time cycle of these cruel star eruptions. Moreover, the area of the Cruel Demon Realm is even larger than the combined area of our Nine States, and the number of wild beasts on land is countless, making it fundamentally impossible to completely eradicate them."

  "Is this going to go on indefinitely?"

  "Alas, that's indeed the case. So, for now, the best solution is to suppress these evil spirits to the greatest extent possible within the Evil Spirit Realm, preventing them from coming out and causing harm to humans."

  "Oh" Ye Feng learned a lot more, smiled with satisfaction, "This story is really long, uh... but after talking for half a day, what does this have to do with the True Transmission's Grand Selection?"

  "Oh, right! You almost got me confused, you'd better take this 'Permission Letter' I wrote and go see Master Chuangong quickly, or it'll be too late. We'll talk about the details when you get back."

  Participating in the Zhen Chuan Grand Election still has a certain degree of risk, so all inner door disciples who want to participate in the Zhen Chuan Grand Election must have a "Permission Letter" written by the Transmission Elder or the Gate Master himself, proving that this disciple has already achieved a certain level of cultivation.

  Ye Feng took the "Permission Letter" from Luo Yunfei's hand and ran to the cave of Chuan Gong Lao, where it was crowded with people, just like a job fair for newly graduated university students.

  After much difficulty, they finally squeezed to the front, only to see Master Chuangong sitting steadily on the fishing platform, slowly and deliberately doing the registration. Ye Feng handed over the "Permit" in his hand, and Master Chuangong said slowly: "Tomorrow at noon, the first round of the trial in the Cave of Evil Spirits."

  Killer Demon Cave? So the first round of trials is related to Killer Demons after all, no wonder Luo Senior told me so much about Killer Demons earlier. Where is this Killer Demon Cave anyway? I'll have to ask him when I get back.

  Ye Feng suddenly turned around and bumped into another person, and when he looked up, it was Hu Lin'an, the senior fellow disciple who had been severely beaten by him just a few days ago.

  Hú Lín'ān's head was still wrapped in bandages, his face a mess of bruises, clearly the wound had not fully healed. Two rays of fire seemed to shoot out from his eyes as he glared at Yè Fēng with wide, angry eyes.

  Ye Feng just glanced at him and thought: Ah, it's really a narrow road for enemies. It's this ugly guy again, even uglier than before. He's scaring people in broad daylight. Sigh, today I can run into an enemy no matter where I go. It's better to hurry back home.

  Hu Lin'an watched Ye Feng walk away, seemingly nonchalant, but his teeth were almost clenched to the point of shattering, like a starving fox staring at a mountain chicken, wishing it could bite its neck off in one go.

  Hu Lin'an relied on his brother being the true heir of the sect, and also being a senior fellow apprentice, he was used to bullying those weaker than him, especially the younger junior brothers. This time, he was taught a lesson by Ye Feng, which made him unbearable.

  After handing over the "permit letter", Hu Lin'an limped to his brother's cave, seeing Hu Lin'an with a bandage on his head and still limping, his brother hurried forward to support him and asked anxiously: "Brother, what happened? How did you end up like this?"

  "Alas, don't mention it, brother. This time I've fallen into a ditch and was actually beaten by a newly admitted inner sect disciple. I really can't swallow this, brother."

  "Oh, who's so powerful? Aren't you already at the seventh layer of Qi Refining period? The new disciples in the inner sect are only at the Body Tempering period, how can they possibly beat you?" Hu Linan's brother had a puzzled expression.

  Hu Lin'an's face was filled with disappointment as he said, "Yes, brother, I initially thought the same way too. Originally, I wanted to teach that kid a lesson, but unexpectedly, he suddenly became so powerful. Looking at him now, it seems like he has already reached the eighth layer of the Qi Refining stage."

  "Eight layers? The inner disciples of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining stage can be counted on one's fingers, you know this too. You wouldn't be foolish enough to engage in a fight with someone whose cultivation is higher than yours, would you?"

  "Hey, brother, even if the kid is foolish, he won't go looking for trouble. I'm his master's junior fellow disciple and know him well. Half a year ago, he was only at the third layer of Body Tempering, but who knew that after not seeing him for half a year, his power would increase so dramatically? At first, I thought no matter how much he increased, he'd break through to the first layer of Qi Refining at most, but didn't expect that kid's power to become so great."
