Chapter 999: Here She Comes

“The last hundred kilometers?”

Han Fei grinned and said, “After we have the ability to adapt to danger and other special abilities, what else do we have to face?”

​

Luo Xiaobai frowned and said, “These are just external factors. Sometimes, relying on them might not be useful.”

Han Fei nodded. “Therefore, the last hundred kilometers is the real selection. You are a manipulator, so your path is for the manipulator to take. As for us, we naturally left behind our own things. What I left behind is a Spirit Gathering Diagram. As long as anyone can copy it, they succeed.”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. “What if they take the wrong path? It won’t be easy for a spirit gatherer to enter the maze of a soul warrior.”

Han Fei grinned and said, “How can everything be done according to plan? When we explore the secret realms, we also encounter unexpected situations!”

Luo Xiaobai nodded. That’s true. This was only the entrance examination. If they really explored a secret realm, nothing was certain. They might encounter all kinds of dangers.

Han Fei grinned and said, “Don’t worry! We’ll just pick five people. There are always outstanding people among a hundred. Besides, there are thousands of people here. There must be one or two of them who will stand out and walk out of the maze.”

The corners of Luo Xiaobai’s mouth twitched. “I’m not sure about that. However, I think you should make long-term calculations. You should lower the difficulty of the first 200 kilometers. Otherwise, we’ll have to keep saving them.”

In response to Luo Xiaobai’s words, Han Fei continued to perfect the maze.

In fact, Han Fei was only doing it out of boredom. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have only recruited five people in a place like the Thousand Star City.

When they picked five students from these people, who cared if it was a perfect combination? They would first temper their body before going to the library to find cultivation techniques and combat skills. He would leave them to cultivate by themselves for a few months.

Of course, it would be best if it was a perfect combination.

At the very least, before Tang Ge’s wedding, he wouldn’t go to the Monument to God, the Sky Meditation Garden, or the Ideal Palace. If he caused any trouble, it would affect Tang Ge and Mu Ling’s wedding. That would be a huge problem.

Han Fei lay on the wall of spiritual plants. “What gift should I give? Old Han gave Tang Ge an ultra-quality Divine weapon, the halberd, and the Sun Moon Concentric Rings. Should I give him a pair of rings? No, no, he already has the Sun Moon Concentric Rings. It’s meaningless to give him a pair of rings. I might as well give him something else.”

Han Fei’s heart did a flip. “I can send fireworks. Yes, it’s a big wedding. We have to celebrate… I’ll get the Su Family to get some materials later. This should be easy.”

Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart stirred. He sensed that someone had entered the last hundred kilometer part of the maze.

Immediately, Han Fei turned around and flew away. In the end, the person had entered the armorist portion of the maze.

It was a youth in rags. There were many bloody marks on him. The youth had thrown a healing spell on himself.

“Huh? A spirit gatherer?”

Han Fei couldn’t help but be surprised. This young man was only a junior fishing master, but he had already mastered the healing technique. It seemed that he was quite talented.

Furthermore, to be able to reach this stage as a spirit gatherer meant that the other party was likely involved in more than one profession.

Le Renkuang had also noticed the young man. He came to Han Fei’s side and said with a strawberry in his mouth, “You’re a spirit gatherer, right? This level isn’t easy to pass. Although I didn’t leave behind any offensive means, I left behind a shield, a Divine Turtle Shield.”

Han Fei asked in surprise, “How should he break it?”

Le Renkuang smiled foolishly. “In a few seconds, attack the same point a hundred times. If each time, the strength is the same, then he can break it.”

Han Fei looked at the youth in the maze, turned his head to look at the teleportation array beside him, and stepped over.

Although the tests left behind by the five of them were different, the difficulty was definitely there. For example, although in Le Renkuang’s level, one didn’t need to face sharp blades, it required the challenger’s perfect control of strength, speed, and maximum performance. This was more difficult than the admissions test in the Blue Sea Town.

Similarly, the difficulty of his Spirit Gathering Diagram was rather high. If one didn’t copy it properly, it would result in a spiritual energy explosion.

As for the tests of Zhang Xuanyu, Luo Xiaobai, and Li Luoluo, they were probably actual combat tests, which had to be very dangerous.

Soon, the youth circled in front of the invisible shield left behind by Le Renkuang.

At that moment, he was touching the armor-shaped wall with his hand. After a long silence, he asked, “An armorist’s shield?”

He retreated three steps, and took out a long sword from his Sea Swallowing Seashell. After preparing for a while, his essence, vitality, and spirit were restored to their peak, and three sword shadows erupted at the same time.

Clank, Clank, Clank…

But the shield wall didn’t change at all. The youth scratched his head gloomily. “I took the wrong approach.”

With that said, he didn’t hesitate to turn around and quickly rush back to the teleportation array. He extended his hand and vanished.

Le Renkuang was dumbfounded. “He just gave up so easily?”

The corners of Han Fei’s mouth curled up. “Interesting. He’s a spirit gatherer and a soul warrior. This is the path most spirit gatherers take. It’s the same for me. However, at this moment, as a soul warrior, he clearly couldn’t break your shield, so he chose to leave.”

Le Renkuang curled his lips. “I thought someone was going to pass the test? Forget it, I’m going back to sleep.”

Outside the maze, there were still many parents waiting. However, the rescue efforts had been greatly reduced. This was because these children had discovered the trick to it. Wherever it was difficult to pass, there was usually a teleportation array to return.

Therefore, they had learned their lesson. They wouldn’t force their way in, or if they failed, they would immediately enter the teleportation array. After all, there were so many parents outside. Any spirit gatherer could resolve the problem with a healing spell.

…

Three days later in the afternoon…

Han Fei had completed about half of the seals for the maze. Although there was still a lot of room for improvement, he couldn’t be bothered. In a few days, when the maze was completely perfected, he would go back to sleep.

BAM!

At this moment, an explosion erupted within the last hundred kilometers.

Han Fei scanned the area with his perception and found that it was the young man from three days ago. Han Fei didn’t know how many times he had searched before he finally found the path of a spirit gatherer. Just now, when he was copying Han Fei’s spirit gathering diagram, there was an explosion.

Logically speaking, a spirit gathering array wasn’t difficult.

However, what Han Fei drew was a Spirit Gathering Diagram, not a pure Spirit Gathering Array. Therefore, the lines were very irregular, and once there was a mistake, it would self-destruct.

Finding that the youth was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, he couldn’t help but smile. “A spirit gathering array is actually powerful!”

President Han, I’ve brought you what you wanted.

Han Fei received a voice transmission. It was the old butler of the Su Family.

Han Fei flew over and looked at the nearly 5,000 parents outside the maze. He couldn’t help but click his tongue. There were many more people than the recruitment in the Blue Sea Town.

However, Han Fei ignored them and said with a smile, “Old Kan, do you have a map of the Thousand Star City? And information about the various factions in the Thousand Star City? If you do, give me a copy.”

Su Kan nodded immediately. “Yes, yes. I’ll go back and get it now. President Han, just wait here for a while.”

Han Fei took the Sea Swallowing Seashell from Su Kan and scanned it with his perception. It was indeed something like a saltpeter. He was immediately relieved. Tang Ge had a gift.

As the Su Family wasn’t too far away, Han Fei had nothing to do and was happy to wait here.

From time to time, a youth would suddenly appear at the entrance of the maze.

Many parents looked at Han Fei and couldn’t help but feel a little excited. However, they weren’t familiar with him and didn’t dare to talk to him.

Han Fei moved a chair out and began to eat spiritual fruit before people gathered around him.

Someone said, “President Han, have any children passed the test today?”

Han Fei shook his head. “No.”

A parent said, “President Han, isn’t this maze a little too big? From high above, it looks like it stretches for hundreds of kilometers!”

Han Fei smiled and said, “It’s not big. Only a few hundred kilometers. Have you forgotten the secret realms in the sea? They extend almost thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers, let alone one hundred.”

A parent said, “President Han, other than this maze, do we have any other assessment methods?”

Han Fei grinned and shook his head. “Everyone, the Thug Academy has a tradition of only recruiting geniuses. I don’t mind telling you that someone is about to pass the test. If anyone feels that this maze is difficult, they can actually choose to give up. You have to know that in the past thirty years, the number of students who joined the school can be counted on two hands. Do you still think my request is simple?”

“Well…”

Many parents were dumbfounded. What kind of school was this? Although they had heard of it for a long time and knew that it was difficult for the Thug Academy to accept students, they didn’t expect it to be so difficult.

More and more people came after hearing the news. There were thousands of them. Nearly 5,000 children had entered the maze. Up to now, not a single one had passed the test. It was ridiculous.

Suddenly, Han Fei’s heart stirred. He pinched his fingers and felt trouble was coming.

Instantly, Han Fei got up and looked behind everyone.

A few seconds later, Han Fei staggered.

“Holy sh*t…”

Han Fei was about to run, but then he thought what was to come would come. After all, he had been caught by surprise.

After more than a year, Han Fei had almost forgotten about Jiuyin Ling.

But now, with a whoosh, she appeared.

Clearly, she had already experienced the mortal world. This was because she was wearing very ordinary clothes. Her hair casually dropped down on one side of her chest, and now she didn’t look as unworldly as before.

If it weren’t for her exquisite face, Han Fei wouldn’t have been able to recognize her.
