Under the scorching sun, the leaves of the trees were wilting.
A long corridor, covered with vines, was where many extraordinary people stood to avoid the intense sunlight. There were men and women, ranging in age from teenagers to those in their fifties and sixties.
Chu Feng and his group were among the later arrivals, and many people looked at them.
"Are all of you in your family extraordinary people?" a thin young man asked, his eyes particularly bright, like two golden lamps.
"No, only I am," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
A very fair-skinned young man with particularly large ears sneered, "How old are you, still needing your parents to bring you? Do you really think you can enter the Jade Void Palace like this?"
Many people in the corridor turned to look at this spot.
Chu Feng really wanted to kick him, but he was just telling the truth and ended up being criticized.
Zhou Yitian advised, "Everyone should be more amicable. We might have to work together in the future, and we will see each other often. We should support each other."
After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Don't mind him, he's just straightforward and likes to speak the truth," the thin young man with eyes like golden lamps said.
Is this how you mediate? The first half was somewhat consoling, but the second half was clearly a put-down.
Chu Feng looked at them and said, "You two are playing good cop, bad cop. Are you trying to provoke me? Do you want a beating?"
"The young people nowadays are really impatient, and they can't even be criticized," the fair-skinned young man with large ears shook his head, his ears trembling, which were really too big.
He sounded old and condescending, which was infuriating.
Chu Feng really wanted to grab his ears and give him a good beating.
Before he could say anything, many people let out exclamations of surprise.
"Very beautiful, charming, wow, she must be a 36... E?" the thin young man with eyes like golden lamps whispered.
"No, it should be a 36... D!" the young man with large ears was also very excited.
Chu Feng realized that these two were not good people, their mouths were naturally asking for a beating.
Many people in the corridor turned around, all feeling a bright light.
Indeed, it was a beautiful woman, very eye-catching. She came floating in the air, with skin like snow, naturally wavy long hair, charming eyes, and fiery red lips. Behind her were a pair of white wings.
"Finally, I'm not late!" She landed lightly, patted her high chest, and took a deep breath.
"This movement... I'm almost drunk!" The young man with large ears, his fair face blushing, also patted his own flat chest.
"Beautiful lady, it's not too late. If you're worried, come, stand in front of me," the thin young man with eyes like golden lamps said warmly, introducing himself, "My name is Du Huaijin."
"Yes, you can stand in front of us," the young man with large ears also said warmly, introducing himself, "My name is Ouyang Qing."
Chu Feng was completely speechless. These two lecherous guys treated his family of three as if they didn't exist, openly arranging for someone to cut in line.
"It's not good, I can stand here," the woman smiled, smoothing her wavy hair, her eyes twinkling, even more charming.
Her white wings were already retracted, and there were two slits in the back of her clothes, revealing a large expanse of white.
At the same time, she smiled and introduced herself โ Ye Qingrou.
"Heavenly Wing Ye Qingrou, I didn't expect to meet you in person!"
In the corridor, a group of people immediately gathered around, men and women alike. The men, needless to say, had fiery eyes.
The women who gathered around were also very excited, saying, "Heavenly Wing Ye Qingrou, I really admire you!"
What's going on? Chu Feng's family of three was also surrounded, as they were right next to Ye Qingrou, and now they had no idea what was happening.
Of course, others were also confused, only thinking that Ye Qingrou was extremely charming, but not knowing more.
"Are you still extraordinary people? Don't you usually pay attention to the extraordinary people's forum? You haven't heard of Heavenly Wing Ye Qingrou? She has killed a lightning leopard and is one of the top fifty experts in the country by her record!"
Chu Feng finally understood. He didn't expect this charming and attractive woman to be so powerful.
However, he felt that the so-called top fifty experts definitely didn't consider the hidden figures like the disciples of Shakyamuni and Lei Zhenzi, who had risen to prominence over twenty years ago.
Just like now, the Four Great Experts โ the Vajra, the Silver-Winged Heavenly Deity, the Fire Spirit, and the White Tiger King โ were revered, and the supreme figures like the master of the Jade Void Palace were not even counted.
"Big Sister Ye Qingrou, you're so powerful and beautiful, even more so than in photos," a young girl exclaimed.
The group of men nodded continuously. Ye Qingrou's wavy long hair, fiery red lips, and alluring eyes, combined with her fiery figure, made it impossible not to attract attention.
"Brother, have some eyes, move over and let the beautiful lady go to the front," the thin young man with eyes like golden lamps, Du Huaijin, said to Chu Feng.
"Right, right, right!" Ouyang Qing nodded in agreement.
Now, Chu Feng was no longer angry with them, thinking they were too lecherous.
Ye Qingrou was surrounded by people and walked forward, turning back to smile at Chu Feng, "Thank you."
"Don't be polite, standing in front of me is more pleasing to the eye. Otherwise, I'd have to turn around!" Chu Feng smiled.
Ye Qingrou gave him a fierce glare.
Just then, the last group arrived, about a dozen people, led by a young man who was very handsome, with a gentle smile, looking very sunny.
"Huh, he looks familiar," someone was surprised, and soon recognized him, exclaiming, "He's Chen Luoyan!"
Everyone turned to look at those people, staring at the young man leading them.
"Chen Luoyan?" someone asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's him. His record also ranks in the top fifty. I didn't expect him to come. Today is really lively, with two top experts arriving at once!"
"Hello, everyone," Chen Luoyan was very polite, greeting everyone. He was very handsome, with a remarkable record, and was very famous in the extraordinary people's circle.
Now, there were quite a few extraordinary people in the country, and being in the top fifty was truly remarkable!
Because, on average, there were only two or three such people in Shuntian.
"Is Brother Chen also from Shuntian?" someone asked him.
"No, I came from Tianmen," Chen Luoyan said.
Everyone was surprised. Tianmen was at least three to four thousand kilometers away from Shuntian, and he dared to cross such a distance, which demonstrated his formidable strength.
As a result, several female extraordinary people politely asked Chu Feng if Chen Luoyan could be moved to the front.
"No problem," Chu Feng waved his hand, thinking that letting one person go was the same as letting two.
In the end, Ye Qingrou and Chen Luoyan were already at the front.
As for Chu Feng's family, they were still at the back.
Wang Jing was somewhat dissatisfied, but Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, thinking it was nothing.
"Alright, time's up. Everyone, follow me," finally, someone came out, inviting the extraordinary people in the corridor to enter a larger courtyard ahead.
At this point, Wang Jing and Chu Zhiyuan could only wait outside.
The courtyard was quite large, and surprisingly, it wasn't hot. It was very cool, thanks to a water pond emitting a shocking coldness.
The courtyard walls were old, and it was empty except for the cold pond, which was quite strange.
A female extraordinary person smiled, "Although everyone is very enthusiastic, the Jade Void Palace is very strict in selecting extraordinary people. Only those with exceptional strength will do."
She told everyone that they needed to jump into the cold pond, dive down, and find the testing area on their own.
"Under no circumstances should you force yourself, as this cold pond is not ordinary. Staying in it for too long can harm your body," she warned everyone.
Everyone hesitated, really going to dive down?
"What if you can't swim?"
"Then it's a test of your courage," the female extraordinary person smiled.
Everyone pondered, thinking that with strength, there shouldn't be any danger, and even if they couldn't swim, they could probably hold out until they reached the destination.
The first person went down, then the second, and soon dozens of people were diving into the cold pond.
Chu Feng also went down, feeling surprised. The cold pond was indeed strange, the coldness piercing to the bone, and an ordinary person would be frozen stiff!
He was a bit skeptical, wondering if this was really water, as it didn't freeze.
On the way, indeed, some people couldn't bear it and hastily ended their dive, as their bodies were stiff and their blood was about to freeze.
There were extraordinary people in the cold pond watching, and when they saw some people couldn't hold out, they went to rescue them.
Chu Feng slowly dived, soon seeing a light on the stone wall, which was very dim. He swam over, and it was transparent, like a space within a light dome.
He used a little force, and his whole body squeezed into the light.
He was surprised that the water didn't follow him in. It was very hot here, with flames rising from the ground, and even lava in the distance.
"Please continue forward," an extraordinary person directed.
After walking through this scorching area, Chu Feng's clothes were already dry, and he entered a vast space.
Is this an underground world, or a folded space? Chu Feng was a bit skeptical, as it was much larger than the Jade Void Palace on the surface.
It looked like a huge training ground, extremely spacious, with no lights, but not dark, with a gray mist in the air.
Many extraordinary people had arrived, finding it strange.
By the time they reached here, only about thirty people were left, with half already eliminated.
There were more staff here, all extraordinary people, numbering in the dozens.
"The test is simple, mainly to see your strength!" one old man with a commanding presence was staring at everyone.
He scanned the crowd, gradually smiling, "Not bad, Ye Qingrou, Chen Luoyan, I know you. You have a great reputation and remarkable records. The Jade Void Palace welcomes you."
Clearly, these two had long been noticed by the Jade Void Palace, considered rare talents, and could be cultivated intensively.
"According to reports, there are special ability users among you, such asๅ้็ผ and Shunfeng Ear, who have successfully made it here?" the old man asked.
"Here!" Du Huaijin stepped forward, his eyes shining like two golden lamps. Everyone immediately understood that he was the so-calledๅ้็ผ.
"I'm here too!" Ouyang Qing stepped out, his large ears trembling as he walked.
People immediately laughed.
These two areๅ้็ผ and Shunfeng Ear? Chu Feng felt a bit strange.
"Even if your strength is lacking, I will specially allow you to join," the old man said with a smile.
"It's fine, we want to try," these two were very confident, clearly thinking their combat abilities were not bad.
"The test is simple, no nonsense. First, we'll test your physical abilities, then direct combat," the old man announced.
The physical ability test mainly focused on hearing, vision, speed, and strength.
Ouyang Qing was terrifying, living up to his name as Shunfeng Ear. He could hear the sound of mosquitoes flying hundreds of meters away, surprising many people present.
Ordinary people could only hear the sound of mosquitoes within half a meter. Was his hearing hundreds of times better than others?
"Deserves cultivation. In the future, I'll give you some special fruits, and you might really be able to hear sounds from a thousand miles away," the old man was very satisfied.
Ouyang Qing's large ears trembled, and he said happily, "This isn't even my full ability!"
Chu Feng sneered, admitting that this guy was very strange and had terrifying hearing, but still found him lecherous.
"What do you mean, not convinced?" Shunfeng Ear Ouyang Qing saw Chu Feng's raised lips and immediately felt annoyed.
"Isn't it just simple hearing?" Chu Feng wasn't here to be low-key today. He originally wanted to show his strength to be valued by the Jade Void Palace, to ensure his parents' safety, and to have the freedom to act like the White Tiger King, without having to follow orders.
"Huh, challenging? If you can hear as well as I do, I'll eat all the mosquitoes in that box hundreds of meters away," Ouyang Qing glared.
"Alright, wait and see," Chu Feng said.
Three hundred meters away, someone replaced the box with one containing buzzing mosquitoes.
"Five mosquitoes," Chu Feng said, sharply catching the sound.
"Correct!" someone responded from a distance.
The crowd was stunned. So powerful, another Shunfeng Ear?!
"You... are you guessing?!" Ouyang Qing was shocked, exclaiming.
"Let's try again," the old man was also surprised, having someone prepare.
"Six mosquitoes are buzzing," Chu Feng answered again.
"Correct!" someone responded from three hundred meters away.
"Bring the box over," the old man, with a bit of mischief, really ordered someone to bring the box.
Shunfeng Ear Ouyang Qing was in a bind, feeling helpless.
When the box was opened, he let out a scream, "Why are the mosquitoes so big?!"
The box was large, and each mosquito inside was an inch long, buzzing around.
Could he eat five of these? Ouyang Qing's face turned green!
"In the Jade Void Palace, we honor our bets. Speak your word and eat them," the old man laughed, urging.
Everyone was speechless, feeling this old man was a bit disrespectful, but also very excited, hoping for chaos.
The old man was very considerate, saying, "Don't worry, these aren't real mosquitoes. They are artificial, similar to normal mosquitoes, and you can eat them boldly."
"Plastic? So big, and I have to eat five? I'd rather they were meat!" Ouyang Qing was about to cry, wondering if he could digest this.
Under everyone's witness, he was on the verge of tears, stuffing them into his mouth!
"You, still needing your parents to bring you, I didn't expect you to be so bad!"ๅ้็ผ Du Huaijin stared at Chu Feng, standing up for Ouyang Qing.
"Or we can have a competition, and the loser eats the mosquitoes?" Chu Feng glanced at him.
At the mention of mosquitoes, Du Huaijin quickly shut up, afraid of losing and having to eat a few, with Ouyang Qing already gagging.
"Don't vomit, it's eco-friendly material that can decompose. At worst, you'll have diarrhea for a few days," the old man kindly reminded.
"Ugh..." Ouyang Qing was so angry he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"Fine, I don't want to compete," Chu Feng said calmly.
"Compete!" Du Huaijin blurted out, thinking he might have been scared by this guy's trick, but regretted it as soon as he said it.
"Alright!" The old man didn't wait for Chu Feng to nod, agreeing to be the witness.
Everyone was speechless, thinking this old man was not a good person.
In the distance, it was pitch black, and a normal person couldn't see anything within a few meters.
However,ๅ้็ผ Du Huaijin's eyes shone, seeing several mosquitoes flying three thousand meters away.
This vision surprised even the old man, who looked at him strangely, saying, "Very good. In the future, when the fruit on that tree ripens, I will save one for you. It might make you a legendaryๅ้็ผ!"
"Your turn!" Du Huaijin smiled, looking at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was very calm, his divine senses fully activated, his eyes deep. Then, he shot out two divine beams, instantly seeing several spots on a wall four thousand meters away.
"Really?" the old man was surprised.
"Correct!" someone informed.
Everyone was shocked. This pampered flower, brought by his parents, was actually so powerful?
Everyone was stunned, including Ye Qingrou and others.
ๅ้็ผ Du Huaijin directly hugged his head and squatted on the ground, almost crying, "I don't want to eat mosquitoes!"
The old man comforted, "It's fine, it can decompose. Eat it."
Du Huaijin: "#@๏ฟฅโฆโฆ"
This was just an interlude. After these two ate mosquitoes the size of fingertips, no one dared to compete with Chu Feng.
When testing strength, Chen Luoyan's body turned golden, emitting a brilliant light, lifting a three-thousand-pound copper tripod over his head.
People looked at Chu Feng.
He walked over naturally and kicked out with one foot. The largest tripod, weighing thirty-seven thousand pounds, was lifted off the ground.
