"Achoo~"
Chu Feng suddenly sneezed, then glanced back at the massive portal barrier suspended in the sky behind him.
It turned out that when the wind formation had covered the area earlier, Chu Feng had already received the information conveyed by the formation.
Advance!!!
So, Chu Feng pressed forward against the wind.
After walking for some time, the wind suddenly vanished, and Chu Feng could clearly hear the voice of the elder from the Totem Dragon Clan.
He knew that everyone who had stayed still within the wind formation and failed to move had been sucked into that portal barrier and eliminated.
Of the remaining martial cultivators, fewer than a thousand were left.
But not a single one among them was mediocre.
"Hm?"
Chu Feng's gaze shifted from the massive portal barrier hanging in the sky back to the foreground.
He found that nearly a thousand pairs of eyes were all looking at him.
It turned out that in his rush to press forward, Chu Feng had inadvertently become the one walking at the very front of these nearly a thousand people who had passed the trial.
Those people clearly did not recognize Chu Feng, so their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Who was this nameless nobody to be walking ahead of them?
And Chu Feng noticed that Mo Yuhan was also among the crowd.
Her pink eyes stood out even in the crowd, and those pink eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, a hint of surprise in them.
Even back when she had witnessed Chu Feng suppressing all those young prodigies, Mo Yuhan hadn't shown the slightest surprise. But today… this was the first time she had looked at Chu Feng in a new light.
"Brother Chu Feng, you're here too — that's wonderful!"
But suddenly, a figure burst out from the crowd.
"Who's that?" Upon seeing this figure, the others wore complicated expressions.
Though Chu Feng was a nameless nobody in their eyes, nearly everyone recognized the person who had just dashed out from the crowd. Even those who hadn't met him before had at least heard of him.
This was Tang Xiu.
One of the strongest geniuses beneath the Half-God level in the Totem Heavenly River.
"Brother Chu Feng, uh… no, I should say Young Hero Chu Feng."
"Let's travel together." Tang Xiu ran up to Chu Feng with a beaming smile.
He was practically a different person compared to when he had first met Chu Feng — all his previous arrogance and conceit were gone, replaced entirely by warmth.
"Sure." Chu Feng wasn't the type to hold grudges. What happened before was in the past, and if Tang Xiu wanted to travel with him, that was fine.
"Tang Xiu, who is this?"
Suddenly, a young man stepped forward.
He was dressed in white robes and held a folding fan in his hand — dashing and refined.
"Zhou Yan!"
When this person emerged, the expressions of the crowd shifted once again.
Because Zhou Yan was also one of the most renowned geniuses beneath the Half-God level in the Totem Heavenly River, his fame no less than Tang Xiu's.
"Zhou Yan, I know you're the type who likes to pick fights."
"But I'd advise you not to provoke my Brother Chu Feng," Tang Xiu said.
"Oh? And if I do, you'll step in?"
"When did you acquire such a good brother? I've never heard of him before," Zhou Yan said.
"Zhou Yan, that's not what I mean. What I'm saying is that the outcome of a fight between you and me would be uncertain."
"But if you fight Brother Chu Feng, you'll lose without a doubt. I'm advising you not to mess with him for your own good," Tang Xiu said.
"Oh my, can't toot your own horn so you use someone else's? Do you think I, Zhou Yan, am the type to be scared easily?" As he spoke, Zhou Yan turned his gaze toward Chu Feng, his eyes filled with provocation.
Boom— But at that moment, a sudden teleportation force descended from the sky, enveloping everyone present, including Chu Feng.
"This feeling?" Chu Feng blurted out.
"What about it?" Eggie asked.
"This is different from the previous barrier power — this barrier carries an ancient aura," Chu Feng said.
"So what?" Eggie asked again.
"This doesn't seem like the work of the Totem Dragon Clan," Chu Feng said.
And in that very instant, the teleportation force swept Chu Feng into a passage. When everything finally settled, Chu Feng found himself inside a grand hall.
