"Who are you?" The moment they saw Chu Feng, everyone was stunned.
The spiritual pressure on the third level was intense, and with the double-layered invisible formation activated, even those at Yuan Martial Fifth and Sixth Levels were pinned to the ground, unable to rise.
Even Gu Bo and Jie Bufan, two outstanding geniuses, were greatly affected and couldn't make it to the passage leading to the fourth stage. They were stuck here — yet Chu Feng was completely unaffected. It was beyond shocking.
But alongside the shock came wariness. Most of them could barely keep themselves together, and the appearance of someone like Chu Feng posed a serious threat to all of them.
"I'm your friend, sent by Ma Qiang to help you." Sensing the fear around him, Chu Feng gave Gu Bo and the others a warm smile.
People with Mental Power had sharp perception, and everyone present possessed strong Mental Power. So they could tell from Chu Feng's words that he didn't sound like he was lying — it seemed like he genuinely wanted to help.
At that, the members of the Spirit World Guild felt immense relief and couldn't help but let out long breaths. But when Chu Feng spoke again, they were thrown into ecstasy.
Chu Feng looked at Jie Bufan and the other members of the Jie clan and said, "As for you — you're my enemies. I'm afraid I can't let you pass the examination."
"Bullshit! Who do you think you are?!"
Among the Jie clan members, a cultivator at Yuan Martial Sixth Level struggled to push himself off the ground, intent on attacking Chu Feng.
"Bwah—"
But he was already at his limit. Chu Feng raised his leg and kicked him several meters away, slamming him into the wall, where he passed out cold.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are, laying hands on members of the Jie clan?!"
At the sight of this, Jie Bufan's face changed drastically. He didn't make a move himself, because he could see from Chu Feng's kick that his strength was not to be underestimated. At the very least, in his current state, he might not be Chu Feng's match.
"I'm the one who's ending your examination," Chu Feng said with a slight smile. He didn't attack anyone else — instead, he snatched the protective talisman from one person's hand, then immediately reached for the next Jie clan member nearby.
Every member of the Jie clan was completely powerless, unable to do anything about Chu Feng's theft. They could only watch as he stripped the protective talismans from their bodies one by one.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jie Bufan panicked. Seeing the large handful of talismans in Chu Feng's grip, he had a bad feeling.
"Nothing special. Just sending you off." Chu Feng grinned, and with a sudden squeeze of his hand, the dozens of protective talismans crumbled to dust. At the same time, a strange wave rippled outward.
"You bastard!!!" Jie Bufan flew into a rage. He could no longer stay calm. He surged to his feet and released the aura of Yuan Martial Seventh Level, pressing down toward Chu Feng.
"Mm, you're the last one I need." But Chu Feng didn't even care about that pressure. He spread his hands and reached straight for Jie Bufan's Universe Bag.
Chu Feng wasn't trying to steal his treasures — he simply wanted the protective talisman. Once it was crushed, it meant they had given up on the examination and failed. That would be the greatest humiliation for the Jie clan.
But Jie Bufan did have some tricks up his sleeve. His first attack missed, but he immediately unleashed several more, each more ferocious than the last. It was clear that this top genius of the Jie clan truly had extraordinary abilities.
