In the intricate and turbulent underground river tunnel, Catfish Demons with a Combat Power of 15.0 were everywhere.
Killing your way out meant leaving the underground river and returning to the surface.
There were dozens of passage exits ahead, but each one was guarded by Catfish Demons. They either swarmed together or blocked the passage entrance with slime.
Some clever Catfish Demons even used boulders or the bodies of their companions to block the passage exits.
This round didn't test how many Catfish Demons everyone could kill, but who could be the first to break out, testing not only everyone's battle power but also their ability to respond at critical moments.
How to quickly find one's own safe passage in dangerous environments, effectively reducing the casualty rate in future frontline battles.
Coincidentally, the purpose of this second round of assessment suited Zhang Lingfeng's Coast Along requirements perfectly.
In this harsh environment, he had no reason to stay even a moment longer.
Thus, when his figure appeared in the underground river, he immediately rushed towards the passage, moving as fast as an unleashed wild horse, dashing to the front in an instant.
Even though Ye Chen and Chen Duling, aided by potions and Mental Telekinesis Masters, had their Combat Power skyrocketing, reaching above 40.0, becoming Dharma Martial Artists.
There was still a noticeable gap compared to Zhang Lingfeng's Combat Power exceeding 56.0.
What's more, after the assessment yesterday, he gave up the precious cultivation time to play around with a group of female leads in the game world and gave up the opportunity to train and learn at the Dharma Hall.
It could be said he practiced Coasting Along to the extreme.
Thus, he gained another wave of Coasting Along Value, reaching 78 points, which he added to the Body Tempering Technique.
His Combat Power and Physical Fitness received another promotion.
Name: Zhang Lingfeng
Profession: Dharma Martial Artist
Coasting Along Value: None
Spear Technique of Thirteen Styles: Entry Level (2/300)
Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique: Skilled (211/300)
Physical Fitness: 4.0332
Combat Power: 58.6
Skills: All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability, Arm strength increase 200 kg at any level, Faster than others, All-weather Body Tempering Ability.
With the help of 78 points of Coasting Along Value, Zhang Lingfeng's Physical Fitness finally exceeded 4.0.
This is the node to activate the Dharma Aspect.
Originally, Zhang Lingfeng thought that when Physical Fitness reached 4.0, the Skin Phase would automatically activate, but it turned out that reaching the activation node required an appropriate opportunity or guidance through the Breathing Technique to activate the Skin Phase.
Evidently, under the requirements of the Coasting Along Fate, Zhang Lingfeng could only wait for the right opportunity to appear. If he forcibly used the Breathing Technique to awaken the Skin Phase, the Coasting Along Value would be wasted.
However, he didn't feel anxious internally.
Because he possessed the All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability.
The body can breathe and exhale involuntarily, successfully opening the Dharma Aspect and awakening the Power of the Surface, is within reach for him.
So internally, he felt no pressure.
At this moment, in the underground river tunnel, he felt like he was fighting alone, forgetting the others, because he was in the lead, relying on a Combat Power of 58.6 and Physical Fitness exceeding 4.0, his speed was faster than yesterday by a few notches.
Even though Chen Duling and Ye Chen had breakthroughs.
They both felt that the gap between them and Zhang Lingfeng seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
Watching Zhang Lingfeng charge into one of the passage exits.
"Qua qua!"
The Catfish Demons near Zhang Lingfeng, without exception, were all killed in one strike by him. The assessment location for the second phase is on the Intermediate plane, where the Catfish Demons' Combat Power was all above 15.0, and some even reached above 20.0. They were the kings here, able to command the Catfish Demon horde to block humans.
Although they were simulated by the Star Realm System, apart from being an illusory essence, in every other aspect, whether in attributes, patience, or wildness, they were just like real-world Catfish Demons.
They harbored a great desire for human flesh and blood.
When their lair faced intrusion, when their offspring were attacked by humans, they would also become furious, attacking in groups, even lurking in human corners, conducting planned revenge actions.
"Qua qua!"
Thus, when Zhang Lingfeng rushed into the first passage at the fastest speed, killing all the blocking Catfish Demons effortlessly, with each blow a fatal one, a Catfish Demon King with Combat Power over 20.0 quickly gave orders, rapidly deploying a large number of Catfish Demons to surround Zhang Lingfeng.
And the assigned Catfish Demons all had a Combat Power above 18.0, with a few reaching 20.0.
Clearly, the Catfish Demon King could sense Zhang Lingfeng's strength, understanding that regular Catfish Demons could only serve as cannon fodder for him.
Simultaneously, it emitted strange sounds, directing the Catfish Demons guarding the passage to launch a pincer attack on the passage where Zhang Lingfeng was located, recklessly attempting to trap Zhang Lingfeng inside the passage, hoping to suffocate him with their numbers.
Therefore, people saw it.
Some of the originally surging Catfish Demons surprisingly rushed towards the passage where Zhang Lingfeng was.
Everyone felt significantly relieved in pressure.
And rushed to enter other passages ahead.
Because in the eyes of the Catfish Demon King, they couldn't inflict substantial damage to the group, facing obstacles far lighter than Zhang Lingfeng's.
"Zhang Lingfeng!"
Chen Duling noticed Zhang Lingfeng's predicament.
But at this moment, under such conditions, she could only dash into another passage, hoping those passages, like yesterday's tunnels, were interconnected, eventually leading to the same exit where they could meet again.
