Over two hundred candidates gathered to enter the Star Realm.

The majority of martial arts students came from third-tier provinces, followed by second-tier and first-tier provinces, with the least coming from fourth-tier provinces.

In first and second-tier provinces, no martial arts students were eliminated in the first round, and usually, they also weren't eliminated in the second and third rounds.

For the third-tier provinces, most martial arts students would be eliminated at the third round, while those from fourth-tier provinces would disappear after the third round.

Since the Great Crossing River Era, no martial arts student from a fourth-tier province has ever advanced to the fourth round to compete alongside students from first and second-tier provinces.

Wearing a specialized helmet and lying in the sleep pod, Zhang Lingfeng found himself in the air, descending towards a small island.

"What is this place?"

"It's an ocean island."

"A small island in the sea of Jiangnan Province."

Zhang Lingfeng saw information from the Star Realm System appear.

The group landed smoothly, about forty people, all descending onto this small island.

"The simulation assessment location is actually within Spiritual Snake Island in the sea of Jiangnan Province, it seems the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance is somewhat biased towards Jiangnan Province."

Zhang Lingfeng muttered to himself.

He and Ming Cheng entered the Star Realm together, but did not land in the same spot on Spiritual Snake Island.

At the moment of landing.

Related information appeared again before his eyes.

It was the directive from the Star Realm System.

The content was simple, as long as one kills a hundred bone-level snake demons, or ten dirt-realm, or two viscera-realm snake demons, they can smoothly enter the third round.

The assessment time is a total of three days.

Then came a map.

Generally marking which area on the island had the corresponding snake demons.

In the entire island, only the middle Snake Valley harbors the viscera-realm Snake Demon King.

"To advance to the third round requires the strength to kill a viscera-realm Snake Demon King, no wonder nearly no martial arts students with fourth-tier status can advance to the third round."

Zhang Lingfeng muttered to himself.

One hundred bone-realm snake demons, or ten dirt-realm snake demons, or two viscera-realm Snake Kings, the level of difficulty is imaginable.

Even if one's combat power reaches the qi-realm level, and successfully opens the sixth layer Dharma Aspect, it's not so easily accomplished.

Keep in mind, the physical fitness of demon beasts usually surpasses strong humans of the same level, and the physical makeup of a viscera-realm Snake King has already surpassed the threshold of qi-realm activation.

Luckily, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds during this time, so it shouldn't be too difficult to handle.

"I wonder where Ming Cheng is?"

"Perhaps he's also in the outer regions!"

Zhang Lingfeng noticed that he was placed in the outer region of Spiritual Snake Island, close to the beach.

"Tear!"

Suddenly a small venomous snake darted from the beach.

Zhang Lingfeng sensed it, flicked his finger, effortlessly bursting the small snake's head, the snake's headless body tumbling on the sand.

"Tear!"

The next moment, numerous noodle-thin small snakes shot out from the beach, all attacking Zhang Lingfeng together.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Lingfeng swept with his long spear.

Without even needing to use spear intent power, just employing spear momentum following his movement, all the small snakes were blocked, as if countless spear shadows thrust out simultaneously, all the small snakes fell to the ground, even turning into a mist of blood.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a strong piercing wind sounded.

A dirt-yellow venomous snake, as thick as a finger and fast as lightning, it was evidently the Snake King, with combat power having reached the bone realm.

"Puff!"

Yet Zhang Lingfeng effortlessly killed it with a single spear thrust.

A number appeared before him, recording that he killed one bone-realm snake demon, leaving him with ninety-nine more bone-realm snake demons to slay, or ten dirt-realm snake demons, or two viscera-realm Snake Kings to pass the assessment.

Evidently, killing snake demons below the bone realm would not be recorded by the Star Realm System, having no effect on the assessment outcome.

This mode is indeed somewhat brutal.

And those data pieces continually appear, like becoming a tag on him, visible to other candidates when they encounter him.

Effectively inciting them.

This is actively pushing both sides to slaughter each other.

"With ninety-nine bone-realm snake demons left to reach the third round, I will specifically target bone-realm snake demons to deal with."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled.

Even though killing dirt-realm snake demons requires only ten, and only two viscera-realm snake demons need to be killed.

The difference in combat power is vast, as long as he is not surrounded by dozens of bone-realm snake demons, and fights cautiously, he can complete the task relatively easily.

Moreover, as a Mental Telekinesis Master, with the ability of sky flight by stepping on objects, the likelihood of being surrounded is low, so Zhang Lingfeng decided to choose a more comfortable way to pass the second round assessment, which just happens to suit his Life Chart.

So, based on the map information that had appeared earlier, he started wandering around Spiritual Snake Island.

On the island, there were hundreds of types of snake demons.

Some were solitary Snake Kings, while others were gregarious snake demons. Some snake demons carried deadly poison, and even the physical fitness of a Viscera Phase might not withstand it. Some snake demons were as fast as lightning, and some could even harness the power of Heaven and Earth to fly in the sky.

In short, even Ling Feng did not dare to let his guard down at this moment.

He planned to slay Bone Realm snake demons while searching for Ming Cheng.

As a Telekinesis Master, if the two of them cooperated, they could complete the task more easily, and perhaps, they would have a chance to pass the second round of assessment together and successfully advance to the third round.

He believed that Ming Cheng was definitely looking for him too.

"Ling Feng is a Telekinesis Master and can fly above. It's easier for him to find me than for me to find him. Why not take this opportunity to kill more snake demons? He passed out in the first phase of the Spiritual Baptism. Obviously, I'm more likely to advance to the third round than he is."

Ming Cheng had already killed two Bone Realm snake demons and couldn't help but walk toward Snake Valley. He believed that Ling Feng would definitely go to Snake Valley too. After all, killing two Viscera Phase Snake Demon Kings is obviously faster than killing a hundred Bone Realm snake demons. Moreover, Ling Feng is a Telekinesis Master. If the two team up, they're sure to complete the task quickly.

"When necessary, you can sacrifice yourself for the sake of the other. These were the words of encouragement from the King of North of the River before the assessment,"

Recalling what the King of North of the River had said before the assessment, Ming Cheng felt invigorated and walked resolutely toward Snake Valley.

"Oh no, they're going in different directions! It seems Ling Feng only wants to kill Bone Realm snake demons, while Ming Cheng wants to kill Viscera Phase snake demons."

In the observation room, Ao Dagang felt uneasy.

"The assessment has a time limit. It's no easy task to kill a hundred Bone Realm snake demons. Did he forget that he's a Telekinesis Master and could team up with Ming Cheng?"

Huo Jiating complained.

"Ling Feng has always been prudent. Let's wait and see,"

The King of North of the River reassured them.

Walking around Spiritual Snake Island, Ling Feng used mental telekinesis waves to sense the changes in the aura around him and discovered that the snake demons here could not only hide in the sand, trees, or grass, but some even hid in the sea.

Just moments ago, he had slain two more Bone Realm snake demons, leaving only ninety-seven more to pass the assessment.

With the strength of a Qi Phase Martial Artist, facing Bone Realm snake demons, Ling Feng made quick work of them with one strike each time. Just thinking about completing the task so easily made Ling Feng immensely happy.

However, as time went by, he was surrounded by groups of snakes several times.

Bone Realm snake demons on the island had their own snake groups, and once you entered their territory, they attacked in unison.

Some cunning snake demons saw Ling Feng quickly kill their minions and chose to hide or flee. Without Ling Feng's telekinesis and telepathy abilities, those snake demons might have escaped.

Two hours later.

Ling Feng had circled half of Spiritual Snake Island and the number of Bone Realm snake demons slain increased from three to eleven.

At this rate, slaying a hundred Bone Realm snake demons within three days should not be difficult.

But Ling Feng also noticed a problem. On the way, it seemed that ahead, the snake demons, as if sensing something, realized he was a dangerous presence, and their numbers were sharply decreasing.

They even hid or actively avoided him, unlike at the beginning when they attacked him on sight.

It seemed that these snake demons were smart creatures, not like the Catfish Demon, which lost its mind and rushed at him at the sight of humans.

Ling Feng had no choice but to change his strategy and actively search through telekinesis while heading into the grass.

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.

The number of Bone Realm snake demons Ling Feng had killed increased from eleven to fifteen. During these two hours, he only encountered four Bone Realm snake demons, which were actively discovered by his telekinesis.

"This is forcing me to head towards Snake Valley."

Ling Feng said helplessly.

"No, I'm not going to Snake Valley. I refuse to believe that all snake demons can escape my telekinesis detection and telepathy."

Ling Feng refused to escalate internally.

He aimed to complete the assessment in the easiest way.

"Oh, you really are on the outskirts."

Suddenly, a voice appeared, and two auras, one in front and one behind, blocked him at the edge of the grass.

"It's you all. The first day of the assessment hasn't ended, and you can't hold back?"

Ling Feng frowned.

The person in front was none other than Jiangnan Province's examinee Lin Yanping, while behind him was another of Jiangnan Province's four examinees, called Meng Dalai.

Since learning of their hostility, the King of North of the River had given Ling Feng and Ming Cheng all relevant information about the five examinees from Jiangnan Province.

Ling Feng already knew their identities without the introduction.

The reason Ling Feng chose to slay snake demons on the outskirts was also his desire to avoid encountering them and making matters too excessive. He didn't expect that not only did he not go looking for them, but they had found him.

Moreover, they had come so insidiously with both of them appearing together, clearly to ensure they could eliminate him.

"Someone who couldn't even last through the first phase of the Spiritual Baptism, even if he advances to the third round and gains more resource subsidies, it would only waste the efforts of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance. If you take your own life, it may spare you some pain."

Meng Dalai, wielding dual sabers, sneered.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, Lin Yanping quickly charged towards Ling Feng, releasing the Spiritual Realm, attempting to envelop Ling Feng. Ling Feng felt a chill, as if a big tree covered the sun.

Lin Yanping's Spiritual Realm resonated with the Wood Attribute.

For now, only one Power of Heaven and Earth.

The two were extremely sly; one diverted his attention with words while the other suddenly ambushed him. When outnumbering him, they chose to act this way, showing how despicable and cheap they were.

Ling Feng despised them.
