Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the two, Ye Feng simply smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing much. I just practiced the Tide Sound Palm for a longer time, so I'm relatively more skilled at it."
Looking at Ye Feng's indifferent demeanor, Blue Shadow and Han Chong could only nod in acceptance of his explanation.
They did not possess Ye Feng's abilities; even simple interactions allowed them to sense the cultivation levels and strengths of others.
Moreover, since everything had happened in the blink of an eye, they had not noticed that Ye Feng's strength had already reached the standard of the Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm.
"Brother Ye, your Tide Sound Palm must have already reached the highest level, right? Just at the Sixth Level of Strength Martial Realm, you can master the Tide Sound Palm to its peak. Brother Ye, you are truly a genius," Blue Shadow remarked as he went to collect the Heavenly Sword Grass. Han Chong also walked over to Ye Feng and praised him.
His enthusiasm for cultivation was slightly higher than Blue Shadow's, so he naturally observed more closely.
"Hard work can make up for lack of talent," Ye Feng replied with a warm smile and did not elaborate further.
"Alright, let's continue moving forward. This Sixth-Level Beast, the Saber-Toothed Beast, is quite good. We can hand it back to the Sect and exchange it for some Contribution Points. Since you killed it, Ye Feng, it belongs to you. Also, thank you for saving me." After gathering the Heavenly Sword Grass and the corpse of the Saber-Toothed Beast, Blue Shadow returned to their side.
"Since we came out together, let's not worry about these small matters. Let's hurry along," Ye Feng said. Although he didn't know how many Contribution Points the corpse of a Sixth-Level Beast could be exchanged for, he assumed it wouldn't be too much and didn't mind.
Both Blue Shadow and Han Chong were decent people, so Ye Feng wouldn't hold anything against them.
"Then thank you! Let's keep going," Blue Shadow said with a smile after hearing Ye Feng's words and then bounced ahead cheerfully.
After the previous danger, although Blue Shadow still walked in front, he was now more cautious.
About a stick of incense later, the three had already ventured deep into the Misty Forest.
Whoosh!
After collecting a few more Heavenly Sword Grasses, the sounds of a fierce battle finally reached them from ahead. The clash was accompanied by the whooshing sounds of weapons slicing through the air.
Upon hearing those sounds, Blue Shadow immediately broke into a smile and cheerfully said, "Zhang Yihang should be just up ahead. Let's hurry and join him."
With that, Blue Shadow dashed forward, followed closely by Ye Feng and Han Chong.
As they passed through a misty area, the figure of a young man appeared before them.
The young man was dressed in white, distinctly different from an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple. He wielded a long sword and was engaged in combat with a beast.
Ye Feng quickly noticed that the beast he was fighting was quite powerful, stronger than the Saber-Toothed Beast they had encountered earlier. It appeared to be a Seventh-Level Beast, while the White-Clad Youth was at the Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm.
During the fight, although the young man faced some pressure, he managed to hold his ground.
"Lan Ying'er, you made it!" Upon seeing Blue Shadow, the White-Clad Youth's face lit up with joy.
This momentary distraction almost caused him to be scratched by the Claw Black Panther he was battling.
"Hey, you fool! Don't get distracted! I'm here to help you!" Seeing that the White-Clad Youth was in danger, Blue Shadow immediately scolded him and rushed in to assist.
Although Blue Shadow wasn't particularly enthusiastic about cultivation, she possessed strength at the Sixth Level of Strength Martial Realm. Once she joined the fray, the Claw Black Panther began to struggle against their combined efforts.
"Brother Ye, since Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow are handling that black panther well, let's look around for any Cloud Grass nearby," Han Chong suggested to Ye Feng as he observed that Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow were no longer in immediate danger.
"Alright."
Responding with a sound, Ye Feng and Han Chong immediately separated to search nearby.
Although it was his first time in Mistwood Forest, Ye Feng had some understanding of the situation here; a Seventh-Level Beast had already appeared, and there should be Cloud Grass in the vicinity.
Sure enough, after searching for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Ye Feng found a Cloud Grass.
In the distance, Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow had already killed the Claw Black Panther. Ye Feng did not delay and returned directly after picking the Cloud Grass.
"Brother Ye, I found a Cloud Grass. How about you?" At this moment, Han Chong had already joined Zhang Yihang and Blue Shadow. Seeing Ye Feng approaching, Han Chong immediately called out.
"I found one too." Raising the Cloud Grass in his hand, Ye Feng smiled as he walked over and handed the Cloud Grass to Blue Shadow.
Among the team, Blue Shadow was the only girl, and she naturally took on the role of the stewardess, responsible for keeping all the loot collected along the way.
Ye Feng's action also earned him Zhang Yihang's goodwill.
"Hello, my friend. I am Zhang Yihang, Lan Ying'er's fiancé, Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm." Zhang Yihang extended his hand towards Ye Feng and introduced himself first.
Hearing Zhang Yihang so straightforwardly mention their relationship made Blue Shadow blush slightly as she gently pinched Zhang Yihang.
Having lived two lives, Ye Feng understood why Zhang Yihang said that. With a strange man appearing next to his fiancée, Zhang Yihang's declaration of ownership was not considered rude; in Ye Feng's view, Zhang Yihang was quite an adorable person.
"Ye Feng, Sixth Level of Strength Martial Realm." Shaking Zhang Yihang's hand, Ye Feng responded with a smile.
"Ah? You are the one who severed your meridians..." Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhang Yihang blurted out immediately but stopped halfway through, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.
At this moment, Han Chong suddenly reacted. Initially, when he heard Ye Feng's name, it felt somewhat familiar, and now he finally remembered that Ye Feng was the one who had been asleep.
However, throughout their journey, Ye Feng's cultivation was clearly not as rumored, so Han Chong quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Haha, it seems those were just rumors. Brother Ye's cultivation is quite impressive now; how could he be a waste with severed meridians?"
With Han Chong's words, the awkwardness among the group eased considerably.
The cultivation levels of these individuals in the Dragon Tiger Sect were neither high nor low; they weren't particularly talented, but they were decent people.
"Alright, let's not dwell on this. Let's continue our search," Ye Feng said, directly skipping the topic without caring much about it.
After finding Zhang Yihang, the team was complete, and the four of them began searching in the Cloud Mist Forest again.
Zhang Yihang had already reached the Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm, and his combat power was quite impressive. With Han Chong being a combative individual, this mission went surprisingly smoothly. Ye Feng hardly needed to intervene; Zhang Yihang and Han Chong managed to resolve most of the troubles.
As night fell, the characteristics of Cloud Grass became increasingly evident, making it easier to search for. Soon, five Cloud Grass plants were collected by the group.
As time passed, Ye Feng and his companions finished gathering the Cloud Grass, and the sky had completely darkened.
At this point, returning to the Sect was no longer convenient. The group decided to light a campfire in the Cloud Mist Forest and prepare to rest for the night.
"This is great! I didn't expect this mission to go so smoothly that we could finish it. We can go back tomorrow!" Sitting by the campfire, Blue Shadow looked at the five Cloud Grass plants in her hands and smiled sweetly.
"Yeah! With three Essence-Enhancing Pills obtained this time, I now have seven. I should be able to break through to the Eighth Level of Strength Realm," Zhang Yihang said with a relaxed smile while sitting next to Blue Shadow.
This mission went very smoothly, and there were no encounters with clusters of monsters along the way. It's not easy to complete a mission so successfully.
The members of Blue Shadow began to chat, while Ye Feng fell into deep thought once again. Earlier, Zhang Yihang mentioned that he wanted to break through to the Eighth Level of Strength Realm and needed seven Essence-Enhancing Pills.
However, Ye Feng himself had already used nine pills just to break through to the Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm, which was clearly a different quantity from what Zhang Yihang needed, indicating a greater difficulty.
"Could it be that after nurturing my meridians, my Meridian is more resilient than that of ordinary martial artists, so I need more power to break through?" Sitting there, Ye Feng silently pondered.
During the afternoon battle with Ye Jin, Ye Feng had already sensed something unusual. Although his cultivation was at the Seventh Level of Strength Martial Realm, his strength was not inferior to that of Ye Jin, who was at the Eighth Level of Strength Realm; in fact, he was even slightly stronger.
This was vividly demonstrated during their battle in the afternoon.
Ye Jin was at the Eighth Level of Strength Realm and had a good understanding of the Tide Sound Palm, capable of executing Tidal Sound Three Echoes. Yet, he was still defeated by Ye Feng with a single move, indicating that Ye Feng had completely surpassed Ye Jin in both strength and understanding of techniques.
"By the way, Brother Ye, three months from now is the semi-annual Inner Sect Disciple selection. Are you going to participate?" Just as Ye Feng was deep in thought, Zhang Yihang suddenly spoke to him.
"Hmm? Inner Sect selection? Isn't that not too important? Don't you just need to reach Origin Martial Realm to automatically enter the Inner Sect?" Ye Feng replied, pulled back to reality by Zhang Yihang's words.
With a teasing smile on his face, Han Chong said, "Brother Ye seems to really know nothing about this. Let me explain it to you."
"Please do, Brother Han," Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
Previously, Ye Feng had not paid much attention to the so-called Inner Sect selection. After all, given his current speed of cultivation improvement, he could probably reach Origin Martial Realm in just a month. At that time, he could directly enter the Inner Sect without needing to wait for the assessment three months later.
However, listening to Han Chong's words made it seem like there were some other intricacies involved in this Inner Sect assessment.
Seeing Ye Feng start to speak seriously, Han Chong's face revealed a hint of satisfaction as he cleared his throat and said, "Brother Ye, do you know that there are significant differences among the Inner Sect Disciples?"
"I don't know. Brother Han, please elaborate," Ye Feng replied with a sincere expression.
Unable to tolerate Han Chong's pretentiousness any longer, Zhang Yihang interjected, "Brother Ye, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Here's the thing: in three months, during the assessment, the top three Martial Halls in the Inner Sect will be recruiting disciples. This is a rare opportunity. Usually, just passing the Inner Sect assessment or reaching the Origin Martial Realm doesn't guarantee a spot in the three major Martial Halls."
Feeling awkward after being interrupted by Zhang Yihang, Han Chong rubbed his nose and added, "Yes, Brother Ye, among the Inner Sect of Dragon Tiger Sect, Blazing Hall, Azure Dragon Hall, and Flying Tiger Hall are the most powerful. If you can enter one of these three halls, the resources and training you receive will far surpass those from other Martial Halls. These three Martial Halls don't recruit often. You know Ning Ruoxue, right? After she entered the Inner Sect, she was directly recruited by Blazing Hall. Typically, these three major Martial Halls recruit or recommend disciples internally like this; opportunities for public selection are rare."
"Ning Ruoxue?" Hearing Han Chong's words, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he was set up by Ye Jin in his previous life, it was Ning Ruoxue who ultimately caused his demise. Even now, he could still picture her delicate white figure in his mind.
"There's still three months left; I need to work hard to secure a place in one of the three major Martial Halls of the Inner Sect and soar to great heights in the future." Having finished explaining to Ye Feng, Zhang Yihang fell back into his daydreams.
At that moment, Ye Feng was also thinking about Ning Ruoxue. He recalled her cold yet fiery gaze from that day and realized that if she found out he was still alive, it would likely lead to more trouble.
Moreover, since that woman was responsible for his previous life's demise, Ye Feng wouldn't let her off easily. He needed to teach her a lesson as a way to reclaim some interest for what happened to his previous self.
"Someone is approaching!" Just as Ye Feng was deep in thought, he heard faint sounds coming from a distance. It was clear that someone was quietly drawing near. Sensing this disturbance, Ye Feng immediately stood up.
