"Chu Feng, are you all okay?"
When he saw Chu Feng walk out, Long Chengyu brought his people over to ask. Although Chu Feng appeared unharmed, he was still somewhat worried.
That was because he had already confirmed that Chu Feng's trial was the most difficult of all.
"There was a small mishap, but overall everything's fine," Chu Feng said.
"Young Master Chengyu, we were only able to pass the trial thanks to Young Hero Chu Feng," Long Fulai stepped forward and said at that moment.
Chu Feng knew that Long Fulai was probably about to recount the details, but he felt there was no need to dwell on the matter.
So he smiled and said, "It was everyone's effort."
These words from Chu Feng left Long Zhizhi and the others momentarily stunned. They hadn't expected Chu Feng to be so uninterested in claiming credit.
But the other members of the Totem Dragon Clan, who didn't know the full story, wore strange and mocking expressions.
In their eyes, Chu Feng had no right to say such a thing. Whether the trial had been difficult or easy, breaking the formation had nothing to do with Chu Feng—it was all thanks to Long Zhizhi and the others.
As for Chu Feng, his gaze was already fixed on the eight statues upon the elevated platform.
Each of the eight statues had a token inlaid upon it. The tokens differed in both design and the power they contained.
At the same time, each statue had a faint aura of light rising from its base upward. But the glow was quite low, barely reaching the statues' knees.
Additionally, beneath each statue were two empty slots, also designed for token placement.
Chu Feng swept his gaze across the scene and immediately understood the situation.
Long Chengyu and Long Muxi had passed with ease.
Long Yuhong had paid a certain price, but still managed to clear her trial.
The tokens earned by their three teams had already been placed upon the statues.
The fourth team—the one with the Grand Elder's grandchildren—had evidently failed.
Whether or not they could succeed would depend on whether the glow of light could cover the entire statue.
"Brother Chengyu, give it a try," Chu Feng said, producing the eight tokens he had earned from breaking the formation and handing them to Long Chengyu.
Long Chengyu accepted the tokens and tossed them to the people standing upon the platform.
Those individuals understood what Long Chengyu intended and moved to place the eight tokens onto the eight statues.
"What a pointless gesture."
Upon seeing this, Long Chenglu didn't voice his thoughts aloud, but he shook his head nonetheless.
He had already confirmed that the trial he and his sister had entered was the most difficult one. Chu Feng's group—the weakest among them all—had walked out completely unscathed, which could only mean they had faced the easiest trial.
What good was a reward from the simplest formation, even if it was broken?
Hum—
But in the next instant, the contempt in Long Chenglu's eyes vanished, replaced by eyes that went wide with shock.
The aura of light upon the statues surged rapidly upward, climbing all the way until it reached the heads of the statues before finally stopping.
"How can this be?" Long Chenglu's face was filled with disbelief. This was completely different from what he had imagined.
"That token's power is incredible."
"Could it be that the formation they broke… was the most difficult trial?"
At the sight of this, all eyes turned toward Chu Feng and his group. Though this outcome was nothing like what anyone had expected, the power of the tokens spoke for itself.
"The most difficult trial?"
The surrounding crowd's words left Long Zhizhi and the others completely baffled. They still had no idea what was going on.
"Miss Zhizhi, you're all so amazing—you actually broke the most difficult trial!"
At that moment, quite a few people approached Long Zhizhi and began showering her with praise. Naturally, none of them attributed the credit for breaking the formation to Chu Feng.
Even though Long Fulai had said what he said, they merely assumed he was being polite.
So they all believed that breaking the formation had been entirely Long Zhizhi's accomplishment. After all, she was the strongest among them and the only one who had been injured.
Upon hearing what the crowd had to say, Long Zhizhi finally understood the truth—the trial they had faced was actually the most difficult one.
No wonder. If Chu Feng hadn't stepped in, they wouldn't have had the slightest chance of passing.
As for Chu Feng, his gaze remained fixed on the eight statues the entire time.
Although the aura of light had reached the heads of all eight statues, it had not yet completely covered them.
If the statues were not fully enveloped, the Divine Art would not manifest.
