Martial God Asura

At the peak of the Luck Saint Realm was a formation core.

Chu Feng had entered the formation core and left his name on the mountain peak, but at the same time, the formation also trapped him, preventing him from leaving the area.

He was initially confused, but Eggy figured someone else might be trying to leave their name on the peak too. Till that person succeeded or failed, he would be trapped here.

Chu Feng thought that made sense, so he didn’t panic.

He was on the massive compass behind the mountain peak, thus allowing him to get an overview of whatever was happening.

Slowly, he realized that this compass was behind his excited world spiritist bloodline. It was as if his world spiritist bloodline was telling him that his compass could be the core of the Luck Saint Realm, just that it was too complicated for him to see through.

Thus, he memorized the compass to slowly decipher it. He thought that if deciphering the compass was beyond his ability now, he could always get back to it in the future.

The runes on the compass were easy to remember, but their movements were extremely complicated, involving many transformations.

Chu Feng prayed that the other challengers wouldn’t make it too quickly so that he would have more time to observe the runes.

As if fulfilling his prayer, the other challengers took three whole days. That was enough time for Chu Feng to memorize the compass’ runes and movements. Soon, a flight of stairs descended from the formation core.

Eggy was right—someone was challenging the trial too, and he had succeeded.

While the stairs exerted pressure on those who sought to scale it, it didn’t affect those on the mountain peak. Through the light emanating from the stairs, Chu Feng could see the person climbing the stairs.

To Chu Feng and Eggy’s surprise, the person who cleared the challenge was Baili Zilin. Eggy, in particular, couldn’t believe that Baili Zilin had recovered so quickly from his injuries.

However, they had no choice but to accept it as the truth was before them.

To their relief, Baili Zilin’s performance was abysmal. It took him a great deal of effort just to scale the stairs. Chu Feng also noticed that Baili Zilin’s spirit power was extremely weak, so his grasp of formations should be sorely lacking too.

With Baili Zilin’s means, it should have been impossible for him to decipher the formation or even scale the stairs.

Chu Feng had to accrue much experience to reach his current height as a world spiritist, and such experience couldn’t be imparted by others.

Baili Zilin must have relied on some treasures to come this far, but even so, it also showed that he possessed a formidable world spiritist bloodline, or else he wouldn’t have succeeded here.

So, Chu Feng patiently awaited his meeting with Baili Zilin.

He would teach the latter a lesson or outright kill him if there was a chance, but the odds of pulling that off were slim as there was a protective formation on the peak to prevent successful challengers from killing one another.

He would have to find another chance.

But Baili Zilin lay weakly on the floor as soon as he reached the mountain peak, not noticing Chu Feng at all. That was why Chu Feng mocked him.

“Chu Feng!!!”

Baili Zilin felt a surge of rage when he saw Chu Feng. Despite his exhausted state, he raised his palm and struck forth.

The earth shook and the mountain swayed.

A powerful burst of martial power gushed at Chu Feng. This attack was filled with killing intent; Baili Zilin intended to take Chu Feng’s life!

However, the martial power abruptly vanished just as it was about to hit Chu Feng, as if someone had devoured it.

“I knew it! You have a formidable treasure with you. You must have relied on it to get here so quickly!” Baili Zilin exclaimed.

“You can’t even tell the difference between a treasure and the local formation?” Chu Feng sneered.

Baili Zilin quickly realized it too. “No wonder you’re fearless. You think that you’re safe because you’re protected by this place’s protective formation.”

“You got it wrong. You’re the one who is being protected.”

Chu Feng looked at Baili Zilin as if he was a fool.

Baili Zilin was strong, but Chu Feng had Eggy on his side. Chu Feng would have killed Baili Zilin right away if not for the mountain peak’s protective formation.

“Hah… Blame it on your poor luck, Chu Feng.”

Baili Zilin’s rage quelled a bit upon realizing that he was the one benefiting more from the protective formation, but he was in no rush to enter the formation core. Instead, he sat down to recuperate.

In truth, Jie Mubai was the one healing him through the formation, which was why it didn’t take long for Baili Zilin to recover.

“He accused you of using a treasure when he’s the one using it. If not for the protective formation, I’d have taught him what it is like to suffer a fate worse than death.”

Eggy could tell that Baili Zilin was recovering fast due to the help of a treasure, which made her annoyed by the latter’s hypocrisy.

“It’s fine, Eggy. We’re just letting him live a little longer. It’s only a matter of time before we take his life.”

Chu Feng had already put Baili Zilin on his kill list. Anyone who dared to treat his brother like that had to be eliminated. He would either kill Baili Zilin himself or leave it to Wang Qiang.

After Baili Zilin recovered, he stood up and made his way toward the formation core. Right before entering the formation core, he halted his footsteps and turned to Chu Feng to say, “So what if you reached the mountain peak faster? You still have to wait for me.

“Chu Feng, I can tell you right now that there’s only one portion of the strongest luck energy, and only one of us can obtain it. You don’t stand a chance.”

Chu Feng didn’t say a word. He didn’t think that Baili Zilin could defeat him here, even with the aid of a treasure. This much could be seen from the speed they reached the mountain peak at.

Baili Zilin entered the formation core, and his name appeared on the mountain peak.

The appearance of Chu Feng’s name was a surprise to none; they were only surprised by the speed he had achieved that feat. However, Baili Zilin’s success was a true surprise. Even those from the Netherworld Sect were surprised too.

“Why would Baili Zilin’s name appear in the Luck Saint Realm? Isn’t that a trial for world spiritist prodigies?” Chen Hui looked at Yun Ao in confusion.

“I heard that Baili Zilin possesses some talent as a world spiritist, but his father forbids him from developing his spirit power. Even if he is talented, it’s ridiculous for him to leave his name on the Luck Saint Realm,” Yun Ao murmured.

“Does Netherworld Sect possess any treasures related to luck energy?” Chen Hui asked.

“Not that I have heard of,” Yun Ao replied.

They were certain Baili Zilin had relied on some unconventional method to pull off this feat, but they had no idea how he managed to do it.

While the crowd was trying to make sense of the situation, the energy inside the formation core flowed out and enveloped Chu Feng and Baili Zilin. Two powerful surges of spirit power clashed between them.

This clash would determine the difficulty of their final test.

Baili Zilin smirked in glee. He had claimed the upper hand with Jie Mubai’s help, and looking at Chu Feng’s strained face only further delighted him.

“A world spiritist prodigy? Is that all?”
