“I understand, thank you, Senior Sister!”
“Don’t worry, I cherish my life!”
Ye Fei expressed his gratitude.
“That’s good, otherwise I really wouldn’t be at ease.”
“Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say, and it’s getting late. I’ll head back to rest.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Li Qingqing immediately got up and left Ye Fei’s room.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Shao Jie, who had just finished drinking and was returning to his room to rest.
Seeing his goddess emerge from Ye Fei’s room so late, his eyes burned with fury.
The sun quietly rose from the horizon.
All those participating in the joint trials had already arrived in front of the Trial Tower.
The four teams from the Four Great Sects were already eager, raring to go.
As for the twenty disciples of the Martial Sect, they were receiving encouragement from Sect Master Song.
Especially since Sect Master Song, to boost everyone’s morale, had directly declared that whoever won first place in this competition would be taken as his personal disciple!
With a roar.
Upon hearing this, everyone went wild.
Only Ye Fei’s expression remained unchanged.
“Alright, I only hope everyone can put forth their best effort and bring glory to our Martial Sect!”
“It’s getting late, I won’t delay you any further. I wish you all the best!”
Sect Master Song, seeing his objective achieved, stepped aside.
Once everyone had received their teleportation jade tokens, the four keys to the Trial Tower were finally inserted.
Ye Fei, standing in the middle of the formation, felt a gaze fixed upon him, prickling his skin.
Ye Fei immediately recalled what Li Qingqing had told him the previous night and turned his head to look.
As expected, Ye Fei’s gaze fell upon a man in black robes with triangular eyes from the Artifact Sect, glaring at him furiously.
Furthermore, his cultivation was precisely at the middle stage of Qi Condensation Layer Six!
This was undoubtedly Xiao Beiyu’s uncle, Xiao Nancheng.
Ye Fei was not intimidated at all and gave him a sideways glance.
Xiao Nancheng, with his triangular eyes, had expected Ye Fei to be afraid of him. To his surprise, Ye Fei dared to roll his eyes at him!
This was an immense insult to him!
Once they entered the Trial Tower, he would surely make Ye Fei pay!
Finally, Ye Fei stepped onto the formation of the Trial Tower’s teleportation array. Within seconds, he vanished from his spot.
Each floor of the Trial Tower was vast. Ye Fei was directly teleported to the edge of a lake on the first floor.
If he wanted to leave this place, he would have to cross the lake.
The lake’s surface was calm, but Ye Fei still dared not let his guard down.
He directly tossed several large stones into the lake.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Whether it was luck or not, Ye Fei’s aim was incredibly accurate!
A water python, resting at the bottom of the lake, was struck on the head by the giant stone.
It then violently leaped out of the water.
Ye Fei, sensing the disturbance with his keen senses, immediately assumed a defensive posture.
The water python also discovered Ye Fei’s presence immediately.
It was feeling rather hungry at the moment and could easily consider Ye Fei a meal.
This water python was at the early stage of Qi Condensation Layer Six, approximately four meters in length, its body covered in red patterns, and its pair of scarlet, vertical pupils were terrifying.
It straightened its body and, in a few swift movements, charged at Ye Fei from the water.
“Beast, you’re practically inviting death!”
The water python flicked its forked tongue, opened its gaping maw, and intended to swallow Ye Fei whole.
“Beast, I was originally going to spare your life!”
“Since you are so ungrateful, I shall skin you and make a blanket from your hide!”
“Xuantian Jue, Second Style!”
As Ye Fei’s cultivation advanced, the power of the Xuantian Jue grew with it.
The surging primal energy struck out fiercely, transforming into wind blades that lashed out at the water python one after another.
The water python’s skin was thick and tough, and it paid no mind to such attacks.
In its eyes, Ye Fei was merely a weakling!
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The water python ignored the primal energy wind blades and continued to lunge at Ye Fei.
Simultaneously, its two venomous fangs were already filled with potent poison!
At this moment, Ye Fei became even more cautious, dodging its attacks.
Just like any snake, a water python’s vital point is its seven inches.
Therefore, Ye Fei leaped forward, sword in hand, aiming to strike at the water python’s vulnerable spot!
However, the water python possessed considerable intelligence. Ye Fei tried several times but to no avail.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
A human-like flicker of contempt appeared in the water python’s vertical pupils.
Ye Fei also reflected on his actions, realizing he had been too careless.
Yet, the more challenging the task, the more delighted Ye Fei became.
“Beast, don’t get cocky!”
“You better watch closely now!”
“See if I don’t slaughter you!”
Ye Fei’s expression turned cold. He merged with his longsword, and the Xuantian Jue unleashed its immense power, directly targeting the water python’s seven-inch spot.
The water python employed its usual tactic, coiling its body and lashing its tail at Ye Fei, who was not far away.
“Beast, watch my sword!”
This time, Ye Fei was determined to kill the water python.
Clang.
Ye Fei dodged the water python’s attack with a few swift movements, successfully reaching the water python’s seven-inch spot.
“Heh, you think protecting your seven inches is enough to guarantee your safety?”
“What a fantasy!”
“Watch this!”
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
Ye Fei continued to channel his primal energy, the energy strikes impacting the water python’s skin one after another.
Finally, under Ye Fei’s relentless assault, the water python could no longer bear it and let out a pained hiss.
Its seven-inch spot was directly exposed to Ye Fei.
“Beast, die!”
Ye Fei’s eyes sharpened, and his sword split the water python in two.
However, Ye Fei was still caught off guard.
At that very instant, the water python’s head flew forward and bit down on Ye Fei’s arm.
Ye Fei immediately flung his arm, sending the water python’s head crashing to the ground.
“Hiss, I was truly too careless!”
“Never thought I’d slip up in the shallows like this!”
Ye Fei looked at the two fang marks on his arm, and the skin on his arm immediately turned an abnormal bluish-purple.
This was bad!
He had been poisoned!
Ye Fei quickly retrieved a high-grade detoxification pill he had prepared from his spatial pouch and swallowed it.
Then, he channeled his primal energy to guide the detoxification process, and only after all the toxins had been expelled from his body did he stand up again and cross the river.
