"Who are you?"

The black-clothed woman was on high alert. ’This young man appeared silently just three feet away from me. Doesn’t that mean he could take my life at any moment?!’

She was just about to pull away!

However, in the next moment, her expression turned to one of terror.

Her body stiffened, her Qi and Blood suddenly thrown into chaos.

A dark figure flashed by like a phantom. A hand instantly closed around the black-clothed young woman’s delicate neck, and Qin Feng lifted her into the air with one hand.

The black-clothed woman’s face was a mask of horror!

Gripping the young woman’s graceful neck, a cold light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes.

A wave of icy energy froze her left hand, making it go numb.

"Trying to shatter your White Lotus Mark? You’re a little too late!"

Qin Feng raised his head, his gaze landing on the black-clothed woman.

"What do you want?" the black-clothed woman blustered, trying to hide her fear. "If you dare kill me, the Yiyue Team won’t let you get away with it!"

Qin Feng’s expression grew cold as he barked in a low voice, "Cut the crap. If you want to live, answer a few of my questions!"

Anger flared in her eyes, but the black-clothed woman bit her lip. She was in no position to argue.

Her face was taut, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "What do you want to ask?"

"I’ll ask you, have the Top Ten Teams formed an alliance?"

The black-clothed woman lifted her chin. "That’s right! The Top Ten Teams began forming alliances even before the competition started!"

After speaking, she gave a cold smirk. "I’d advise you to think carefully. Opposing our Top Ten Teams won’t end well for you!"

Qin Feng snapped, "Shut up. You’ll say what I tell you to say. One word more, and you can say goodbye to your life!"

Her face paled, and she bit down hard on her lower lip.

"I’ll ask you again, how many people from the Top Ten Teams are participating in this Points Competition in total?"

"I don’t know."

"I advise you to be honest. Otherwise, killing you isn’t the only thing I can do." A strange glint appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes as his gaze swept over the young woman’s exquisite figure.

The black-clothed woman had a petite build with graceful, shapely curves. She had jet-black hair that cascaded down, a cold yet stunning face, and a unique feminine scent about her.

As Qin Feng’s gaze swept over her, the woman’s face paled slightly. Her delicate body trembled, and she felt a deep sense of unease.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I don’t plan on doing anything. But if you’re not honest, I can’t make any promises!"

Qin Feng muttered to himself, "I can tell you’re still a virgin. You’re a Martial Arts Seed at the Martial Arts Thirteen Heavens Peak. The Yuan Yin of a woman like you is exceptionally pure. If I were to... harvest your Yuan Yin, it would surely allow my Cultivation to advance another step!"

The young woman’s face turned deathly pale.

"I’ll ask you one more time. How many people from the Top Ten Teams are in this Points Competition, and how many of them are top-tier experts?"

After a long silence, she lifted her head and glared at Qin Feng, her face cold. "I truly don’t know how many experts from the Top Ten Teams have come, but I do know that our Yiyue Team sent sixty Martial Dao geniuses into this competition!"

"And among those nearly sixty geniuses, my strength only ranks in the lower-middle tier!"

’So many people?’ The thought gave Qin Feng a headache.

Qin Feng knew that among the Top Ten Teams, the Yiyue Team was actually one of the lower-ranked ones, at ninth place.

If the ninth-ranked Yiyue Team had so many experts, the strength of the top-ranked teams was likely even more terrifying.

Each of the Top Ten Teams was an enormous power in its own right; dealing with even one would be extremely difficult. And now, all of them had united to clear the field.

This was practically unstoppable!

Qin Feng’s expression was grim.

The situation was even more severe than he had imagined.

A mocking smile touched the corners of the black-clothed woman’s lips, and her beautiful eyes swept over Qin Feng. "I may not know who you are, and you certainly have some skill to be able to defeat me in a single move. However, compared to some of the powerful geniuses on my Yiyue Team, you wouldn’t even make it into the top ten!"

Qin Feng remained expressionless, but a corner of his mouth twitched.

He felt a sense of helplessness. As much as he hated to admit it, he had to concede that the black-clothed woman had a point.

Although Qin Feng ranked among the top new students at All Stars Academy, he was at a clear disadvantage when compared to the geniuses from previous years.

Qin Feng simply hadn’t been at All Stars Academy for long enough.

Those experts from previous years had been at the academy for over a year. Nurtured by the academy’s abundant Spirit Medicines and opportunities, they were on a completely different level now.

It was a gap that couldn’t be closed in just three short months.

’Looks like I can’t confront the Top Ten Teams’ purge head-on,’ he thought. ’I’ll have to avoid their main force for now. First, I’ll hunt some Barbaric Beasts to raise my Cultivation, then I’ll figure out a way to pick them off one by one!’

Qin Feng knew his own strengths. ’If I can break through to the Condensing Vein Realm within two months, with my Unrivaled Foundation of Innate Primordial Qi, I might just have a chance to turn the tables and make a comeback.’

Qin Feng’s gaze fell back on the black-clothed woman. With a sweep of his wide sleeve, the ice encasing her left hand instantly vanished.

Shooting Qin Feng a venomous glare, the black-clothed woman seemed to burn the image of the black-robed youth before her into her mind. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

CRACK!

The White Lotus Mark shattered. The young woman’s figure flickered, and in the next moment, she transformed into a white lotus that vanished into the Void.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept across the mountain forest. Heaven-Reaching Ridge was a vast and sprawling region, with high mountains and dense woods covering thousands of square miles.

Countless Fierce Beasts lived here, and the sound of their primal roars rose and fell in succession.

Among them were plenty of powerful Barbaric Beasts, including Second-level Barbaric Beasts and even Third-level Beast Kings.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Feng’s figure flashed as he dashed deeper into the mountain range.

Not long after Qin Feng left, a man and a woman, two powerful experts, arrived together in the same part of the ridge.

The man was sinister and cold, and the woman’s eyes were dark.

If any of the geniuses from the Top Ten Teams were here, they would have surely recognized this pair.

They were none other than the Yiyue Team’s Wind and Thunder Twins, second in power only to the team’s number one expert, the Taiyin King.

The auras they exuded were formidable, carrying an oppressive presence. It was clear that both of them were experts who far surpassed the ordinary Condensing Vein Realm.

"This is the place. The trail Junior Sister Lin Mei left behind disappears here!" the young man said, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. Suddenly, his nose twitched.

"The scents of three people were here. Two women and one man. One of the women was Junior Sister Lin Mei!"

His sense of smell seemed abnormally keen, allowing him to distinguish the different scents in the mountain forest.

"The scents of the two women seem to stop abruptly here. If I’m not mistaken, they were both forced to crush their White Lotus Marks. The other scent seems to have left in this direction!"

The sinister-looking man gazed in the direction Qin Feng had gone.

The other, a young woman in a pink dress, closed her eyes. "There are indeed some signs of a fight here. It seems Junior Sister Lin Mei was defeated."

"Looks like we’ve stumbled upon some prey with decent strength this time!"

The sinister man gave a ghastly smile.
