Then came a barrage of fist shadows like a storm.

With a combat power difference of over a hundred, Wu Shaoqing had no power to counterattack. After a few punches, he lost consciousness.

Five minutes later.

The training room door opened, and Ling Feng came out, supporting himself against the wall.

Wu Feng saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.

"How was it?"

Wang Dashan inquired.

"Young Master Wu truly deserves to be a descendant of the Wu Family, a bloodline inheritor, truly impressive, it opened my eyes,"

Ling Feng remarked with emotion.

"Hahahaha!"

Wu Feng couldn't control his laughter.

"Hey, it's just a sparring session, it's okay, winning or losing doesn't matter, come on, let's take you back to rest."

Marquis Zhuge took the initiative to support Ling Feng.

He and Wang Dashan stood on either side, helping Ling Feng leave together.

"Hahaha!"

The sound of Wu Feng's laughter grew louder.

"Shaoqing!"

It was strange though, why hadn't Wu Shaoqing come out yet? He couldn't help but shout, and when there was no response, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly ran into the training room to check.

"Shaoqing..."

"Ling Feng, what the hell did you do? Get back here... "

Wu Feng was going crazy.

He saw Wu Shaoqing lying motionless on the ground like a pile of flesh and mud, with broken limbs and bruises all over. Ling Feng hadn't used lethal force, but he had thoroughly taught Wu Shaoqing a lesson.

Even with the Wu Family's medicinal liquid to aid recovery, it would still take two to three days for Wu Shaoqing to fully recover, and the first round of the provincial exam was tomorrow.

This meant that Wu Shaoqing was eliminated in advance.

Besides, Wu Shaoqing was still dazed, unable to wake up, and in the short term, couldn't provide Wu Feng with any useful information to analyze Ling Feng's specific combat data.

After severely injuring Wu Shaoqing, Ling Feng used mental telekinesis attacks to turn Wu Shaoqing's mind into a muddle.

Both he and Wang Dashan knew that Wu Shaoqing's main purpose was to probe his strength; revenge was secondary. So, after teaching Wu Shaoqing a lesson, they couldn't allow Wu Feng and others to easily decipher his details from Wu Shaoqing's mouth.

That's why Ling Feng supporting himself against the wall as he left wasn't just pretending. It was to ensure Wu Shaoqing's mind wouldn't recover quickly, causing him to appear weak after exerting extreme mental telekinesis.

Fortunately, in his condition, thanks to the all-weather consciousness sea exploration ability, he'd recover overnight and it wouldn't affect his examination results.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first round of the provincial exam.

As expected, Wu Feng had already handled Wu Shaoqing's withdrawal this morning. He lay in the treatment room, being attended to by a telekinesis master.

The damage from mental telekinesis attacks on the sea of consciousness usually only heals through self-regeneration. Although help from a telekinesis master is beneficial, it's not a swift process unless the healer is a super telekinesis master.

Though the Wu Family is a prestigious clan, among the top in Jin City, they still don't have a super telekinesis master, otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to obstruct Ling Feng in the struggle for divine vein liquid.

"The rules have been announced, slightly different from usual with three rounds: a qualifying round, semifinals, and the final round."

Wang Dashan came to inform Ling Feng after learning this news.

"The qualifying round takes place in the Star Realm, with the simulation environment being the Profound Realm. In total, one hundred and nineteen martial dao students will participate. Whoever reaches the city center from the sea exit within the designated time will automatically qualify for the second round. The content for the second and third rounds hasn't been released yet."

"Let me tell you this, the simulation takes place near the sea exit and the city center of the Profound Realm. This area, not only has Silver Moon Wolves but also countless Fire Ants lurking in buildings and underground; they are extremely sensitive to blood, especially human blood. Their numbers reach the thousands, and their teeth are exceptionally sharp; even a powerhouse of dharma aspect perfection wouldn't dare let them bite freely.

If surrounded, even if you could use mental telekinesis waves to fly, survival would be nearly impossible if the height isn't enough.

Because some Fire Ants can evolve wings, reaching heights around thirty stories. Although you are a telekinesis master, your sea of consciousness value hasn't reached 2.0. So, even if you master object-controlled flight, you won't reach a hundred meters. The moment you sense Fire Ants nearby, you must immediately retreat, never take chances, as that would lead to lifelong regret."

Wang Dashan kept on explaining.

Finally, he showed Ling Feng related video content about Fire Ants.

In the video, a Level 3 telekinesis master was surrounded by Fire Ants and attempted to fly away, only to be engulfed by swarming Fire Ants descending from a rooftop.

The dense Fire Ants swarmed down like a plague of locusts, devouring the Level 3 telekinesis master completely within minutes.

"The threat of Fire Ants is far greater than the Catfish Demon; even in the Star Realm, being bitten by Fire Ants would leave a psychological scar."

Ao Dagang reminded.

For Ling Feng, as South City's hope, he hoped Ling Feng would win and perform well in the national exam.

"Here is a Consciousness Nutrient Fluid, which will make your sea of consciousness exceptionally sensitive in critical moments, helping you release more mental telekinesis once you enter the Star Realm, remember to take it beforehand."

Huo Guoqiong handed over a bottle of medicinal liquid.

As a member of the Divine Sect and Ling Feng's teacher, Huo Guoqiong wouldn't miss the provincial exam. He only arrived this morning.

"Thank you."

Ling Feng didn't refuse.

Consuming nutrient liquid won't have any adverse side effects on the body, especially consciousness nutrient fluid; each bottle is quite precious. If it weren't for representing South City in competition, Huo Guoqiong couldn't have secured a bottle of consciousness nutrient fluid supplement for him.

Declining to take it would mean straying from the path of coasting along.

Later, Ling Feng entered the sleep pod and took the consciousness nutrient fluid in one gulp as instructed.

Afterwards, he put on the helmet, lay in the sleep pod, and his consciousness was projected into the Star Realm.

"Ling Feng, welcome to the Star Realm, to participate in the provincial exam hosted by Jiangbei Province. You will soon be placed at the sea exit of the Profound Realm simulation. Including you, there are a total of one hundred and seventeen examinees. We hope you have a good performance, good luck."

Ling Feng appeared in the matching room.

From above came the voice of the Star Realm system.

The next moment, the scene changed.

Waves of sea breezes swept in, accompanied by the surging sound of tides.

Ling Feng saw himself at the sea exit of the Profound Realm, surrounded by unfamiliar martial dao students, each with their own identification number and information.

Ling Feng looked toward the sea.

He saw giant ships sailing and airships passing across the sky.

Then he cast his gaze towards the city center.

He saw the streets filled with car shells or weathered human corpses and bones, as well as corpses of demon beasts and some dilapidated buildings, along with a pack of Silver Moon Wolves marching in line on a nearby highway.

Before everyone was a light curtain.

It seemed that it was this light curtain that prevented the pack of Silver Moon Wolves from noticing them; although they had entered the Profound Realm and arrived at the sea exit, none of the surrounding creatures could detect them before the light curtain vanished.

This seemed to be an adaptation time arranged for them by the Star Realm system, to prevent being attacked by Silver Moon Wolves as soon as they appeared, affecting their performance.

"Warning, the light curtain will disappear in five minutes. In five minutes, you'll fully enter the Profound Realm. Though a simulated environment, it's no different from the real Profound Realm and could be even more dangerous.

If you get injured here, your body in reality will have a corresponding reaction. Although not lethal, the pain will be entirely reflected physically, taking an hour or two to heal."

The Star Realm system's voice resounded above everyone's heads.

Upon hearing this, everyone dared not slack off, hastily retrieving all sorts of weapons.

Ling Feng gripped a silver long spear; as a master of spear technique, wherever he went, a long spear accompanied him. This silver long spear had long since been examined by the Star Realm system and was successfully projected, held firmly in his grasp as if real.
