The Little Phoenix instantly flew onto Ye Chen's shoulder, its eyes revealing vigilance as it glared at Mu Qingqing.

Ye Chen awkwardly smiled and said, "Zizi is quite timid, afraid of strangers."

Mu Qingqing looked a bit saddened.

How could this little bird be timid? It dared to follow us in cutting down Unity Realm's green ghosts; it's obvious that Brother Chen's little bird doesn't like me!

At this moment, the Little Phoenix got irritated too.

Who are you calling timid?

Dignified Phoenix, timid?

Thinking of this, the Little Phoenix dug its tiny claws fiercely into Ye Chen's shoulder.

Though the little creature isn't large, it's a phoenix after all, with great strength, causing Ye Chen to grimace in pain.

Ye Chen removed the Little Phoenix from his shoulder, holding it tightly.

Mu Qingqing watched with envy.

How wonderful it would be if I could hold it like that... This little bird is truly adorable!

Ye Chen said, "Now that we've killed five green ghosts, although Inspector Su didn't specify, killing a Unity Realm green ghost is undoubtedly more beneficial than killing other green ghosts.

Given our current situation, to securely rank in the top five, either kill another Unity Realm green ghost or kill three or four weaker green ghosts.

The latter is unlikely, the exam is nearing its end; the weaker green ghosts have probably been dealt with."

Mu Qingqing said, "Brother Chen, ensure your qualification to join the True Martial Hall first, I'm fine, I can come back half a year later."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Since you're in my team now, I have to ensure you pass the exam too. Team members must progress and retreat together. Let's continue to look for green ghosts!"

"Hmm." Mu Qingqing was deeply moved, and then said, "Brother Chen, aren't you going to rest? Your injury..."

"It's fine, the injury is mostly healed, I'll continue recuperating while searching for green ghosts," Ye Chen said casually.

It's already dark now, and by tomorrow morning, the assessment will be over, so there's no time to rest; we must hurry.

In the pitch-black forest.

Others participating in the assessment are also rushing, meticulously searching for green ghosts' hiding places.

Suddenly, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing.

It was Lu Feiyu, one of the two Unity Realm participants in this assessment, acting alone.

Ye Chen stared at Lu Feiyu without speaking.

Lu Feiyu said, "Help me."

"With what?"

"I've tracked a Unity Realm green ghost's whereabouts, but when I get close, the ghost escapes, it's quite troublesome. So, I need someone to hold the ghost for a moment so I can deliver a thunderous strike.

Ye Chen, I've heard about what you did on the Celestial Soldier Pavilion's cloud ship; although you're only in the Primordial Embryo Realm, I know you have the strength to hold a Unity Realm green ghost for a moment!"

"I have no reason to help you," Ye Chen said coolly.

Just because you're a woman, doesn't mean I'll help just because you ask, right?

Lu Feiyu was momentarily stunned and then said, "If we kill the Unity Realm green ghost, I'll share the kill count of two Mortal Transformation Realm green ghosts with you."

Kill count distribution, though not mentioned by True Martial Hall's Inspector Su, is feasible; otherwise, Liao Qing wouldn't form teams, nor would Ye Chen bring Mu Qingqing along.

"Alright!"

Ye Chen agreed readily.

Although he could also kill Unity Realm green ghosts, it requires collaboration with Mu Qingqing and the Little Phoenix, and it's quite risky.

Moreover, he currently doesn't know where to find green ghosts.

Helping Lu Feiyu hold a Unity Realm green ghost for a moment and earning two Mortal Transformation Realm kill counts isn't a loss.

If it's a close friend, no need for conditions; help if you can.

But for acquaintances, trading with mutually acceptable conditions is most suitable.

Lu Feiyu, being straightforward, decided swiftly and led Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing to the target location.

Half an hour later, the three stopped.

Lu Feiyu pointed to a valley ahead and said, "There's a Unity Realm green ghost hiding there. I'll lure it out, and then you hold it for three breaths!"

"No problem," Ye Chen replied.

Then, Lu Feiyu soared up towards the valley.

Moments later, a side of the valley exploded, and the Unity Realm green ghost instantly engaged in battle with Lu Feiyu.

Lu Feiyu led the ghost to the vicinity where Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing were.

Ye Chen tightened his grip on his sword, darting towards the green ghost.

The Little Phoenix stayed atop a tree, ignoring Mu Qingqing.

Mu Qingqing, quick and swift, cast a Spirit Seal Golden Light onto the flying Ye Chen.

"Swish!"

Ye Chen slashed his sword, the Yin-Yang Sword Intent manifesting and unleashing a hundred-meter Sword Qi.

The green ghost snorted coldly and struck with a punch, shattering the Sword Qi.

Lu Feiyu, decisively, retreated to the side, her full power surged into her palm, and the purple mark on her palm exploded with countless electric arcs, radiating incredible pressure!

This move is remarkably powerful but has a flaw, as her current strength cannot yet unleash it at will.

If she builds momentum far from the ghost, the ghost would escape before she charges.

Thus, someone must engage the ghost first while she prepares on the side.

Liao Qing has many people, but if she collaborates with Liao Qing, he would finish the ghost himself; she wouldn't have a role, so she could only seek Ye Chen.

The Unity Realm green ghost, realizing the terrifying pressure of Lu Feiyu's purple thunder, immediately tried to disengage and flee.

However, Ye Chen executed the Wood Extreme Thousand Entwined Sword, dense Sword Qi like vines, tangling and constraining the ghost.

"Get lost!"

The green ghost roared furiously, throwing a punch that shattered all Sword Qi, and Ye Chen's figure was sent flying backward in the air.

Mu Qingqing again cast a Spirit Seal Golden Light, precisely landing on Ye Chen's flying trajectory.

This Spirit Seal Golden Light enhanced speed, allowing Ye Chen to stabilize and use Heaven-Ascending Step and Vertical Earth Golden Light, rapidly catching up to the green ghost.

While he cannot fight the Unity Realm green ghost head-to-head, holding it for three breaths is easy!

After several moves by Ye Chen.

Lu Feiyu finished building her momentum and charged towards Ye Chen and the green ghost.

Ye Chen flickered and retreated aside.

Lu Feiyu struck with her palm, the purple thunder shredding the night sky to pieces, the terrifying lightning piercing the green ghost's body.

The Unity Realm green ghost was directly turned to powder under Lu Feiyu's powerful strike!

Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched.

What a terrifying move!

If this were on me, I'd be done for nine out of ten.

The genius of Celestial Cyan City indeed has depth, Lu Feiyu's age seems to be just twenty-five or six.

After killing the green ghost, the three gathered together.

Lu Feiyu looked at Ye Chen and Mu Qingqing with surprise.

She originally thought even if Ye Chen could hold the Unity Realm green ghost for a moment, it would be quite strenuous; yet Ye Chen accomplished it easily.

And Mu Qingqing... the girl who previously cried and vomited at the villagers' massacre turned out to be a Celestial Seal Spirit Master on an auxiliary path!

A pure auxiliary Spirit Master is rare, a pure auxiliary Celestial Seal Spirit Master, looking across the whole Cangzhou, you might not find a second one.

Mu Qingqing stared at Lu Feiyu and said, "That move just now, is it the long-lost Thunder Control Technique?"

Lu Feiyu responded with a nod, not wanting to elaborate, and said, "According to the agreement, after the exam ends, I'll inform Inspector Su to allocate two Mortal Transformation Realm green ghost kill counts for you."

Ye Chen nodded, for such matters, mutual consent is preferred, no courtesy needed, then asked, "Do you know how many green ghosts haven't been found yet?"

Lu Feiyu said, "Earlier, I met Liao Qing's group. Led by Liao Qing, they killed eight green ghosts, including one Unity Realm green ghost.

Adding the one just now, I've killed four green ghosts."

Ye Chen calculated and said, "Meaning, there's only one Unity Realm green ghost left now!"

Hearing this, Lu Feiyu's eyebrows raised and said, "You..."

No need to conceal anything, Ye Chen said, "I've killed five, including one Unity Realm."

Lu Feiyu was shocked!

Ye Chen leading Mu Qingqing has achieved impressive results... The key fact, they alone could kill a Unity Realm green ghost?

It's too incredible, Lu Feiyu could hardly believe this is true!
