Lu Peng also turned his head, looking at Qin Xuan in shock.
He knew Qin Xuan's Mental Energy was powerful, but how did he manage to be completely unaffected by the illusion?
What they didn't know was that with the Surprise Spirit Stab, Qin Xuan could easily tear apart the surrounding illusions with his Mental Energy.
Therefore, no matter how the surrounding illusions changed, he could easily resolve them.
So, he could effortlessly break free from the illusions.
Lu Peng looked at this scene, a wave of remorse washing over him.
With his Mental Energy, although he couldn't be as effortless as Qin Xuan, he could still easily resolve the illusions nearby.
However, last night he had successively split off his spiritual body to attack others, causing his own Mental Energy to be severely damaged.
This had quite an impact on him.
"Hmph!"
As Qin Xuan walked past Lu Peng, he snorted coldly at him.
The Surprise Spirit Stab was instantly released.
"Ah!"
Lu Peng felt a sharp pain in his mind and immediately collapsed to the ground.
"If you dare to play tricks again, I'll kill you!"
Qin Xuan transmitted his voice to Lu Peng, then he strode away, leaving behind a bewildered Zhou Keli.
He had only seen Qin Xuan walk past Lu Peng, snort coldly, and Lu Peng had completely collapsed, unable to resist.
As for why, he had no idea.
However, seeing Qin Xuan approaching, he hurriedly dodged to the side, making way for Qin Xuan to pass first.
Only after Qin Xuan had left from in front of them did Lu Peng tremble and crawl up from the ground.
Damn scoundrel!
Lu Peng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with hatred.
You dare to threaten me? I will definitely find an opportunity to deal with you properly.
Qin Xuan walked to the edge of the dense forest and turned back to look at Lu Peng.
Seeing the flames in the other party's eyes, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He was deliberately provoking Lu Peng.
No other reason, ever since absorbing that spiritual body last night, Qin Xuan knew that Lu Peng's Mental Energy was very powerful.
After absorbing Lu Peng's Mental Energy, he had even awakened his Sea of Consciousness because of it.
If he could devour all of Lu Peng's Mental Energy, his own Mental Energy would definitely reach a higher level.
That's why he deliberately provoked Lu Peng, just to make Lu Peng angry at him.
He was waiting for Lu Peng to deliver himself to his doorstep!
Stepping out of the dense forest, Qin Xuan looked ahead.
At this moment, outside the dense forest, Zhao Zheng was smilingly looking over with a few Inner Sect Disciples.
However, upon seeing Qin Xuan, his smile immediately froze.
"It's you..."
Zhao Zheng said, his face instantly turning incredibly grim.
He never expected Qin Xuan to come out alive from inside.
This meant that all the assassins he had sent out had been counter-killed by Qin Xuan!
What a bunch of idiots!
Zhao Zheng wanted to rage, but he understood that this matter couldn't be openly stated.
After all, he was the Inner Sect Disciple responsible for supervision in this round; some things could be done in private, but never in public.
Thinking of this, he could only nod at Qin Xuan with a cold face.
"Congratulations, you took first place in this round."
Although he was very displeased, he could only bite the bullet and speak, handing Qin Xuan a token.
Taking the token, he glanced at the character "one" on it.
It seemed this token represented the ranking after passing each round.
He had taken first place in this assessment round.
"The Teleportation Formation is over there, you can go to the next round early to prepare."
Zhao Zheng said expressionlessly. Hearing this, Qin Xuan rubbed his chin, gave Zhao Zheng a cold smile, cupped his hands to the others, and then strode towards the Teleportation Formation.
"Next time, send someone more capable; these small fries are useless against me!"
Qin Xuan said lightly, then disappeared into the Teleportation Formation.
"Bastard!"
Hearing Qin Xuan's sarcastic words, Zhao Zheng's face instantly turned incredibly ugly.
The people he had sent out not only failed to eliminate Qin Xuan but were killed by him instead!
Now he was being publicly humiliated!
Damn it!
Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, then looked at the few people behind him.
"You all stay here and watch; I'll be back soon!"
After giving his instructions, Zhao Zheng left and went to an deserted spot nearby.
"Young Lord!"
Just then, a figure walked over and bowed to Zhao Zheng.
"A'er, take this letter and this painting to Fourth Brother, and tell him that this person must be eliminated in this round!"
Saying this, Zhao Zheng handed a letter and a scroll to the person.
"Yes!"
The person took the scroll and then left.
"Hmph, the next round tests combat power, I don't believe you can pass!"
Zhao Zheng sneered.
At the same time, Qin Xuan had already arrived at the next round.
"This Azure Green Sect is quite interesting, actually using Teleportation Formations to change locations repeatedly. It seems to prevent anyone from tampering with things beforehand."
Unlike the dense forest of the previous round, this was a Desert.
Next to the Desert was an oasis, with clear springs flowing through it. Several Disciples responsible for the assessment were looking at Qin Xuan with enthusiastic expressions.
The order of arrival from the Teleportation Formation represented the order in which people passed the previous round.
Qin Xuan was the first examinee to emerge, meaning he was the first Disciple to pass the assessment in this round.
For these Inner Sect Disciples, they all wanted to befriend and win over these promising Disciples.
"This Junior Brother is truly a heaven-sent genius! In so many years, you're the first to pass the second round so quickly!"
Saying this, an Inner Sect Disciple standing at the forefront immediately walked up enthusiastically.
"Greetings, Senior Brothers!"
One doesn't hit a smiling person. Since these people were so enthusiastic towards him, he naturally returned their smiles.
"Junior Brother, don't worry, if you can easily pass the second round, this round will naturally be no problem. This round, well, it's just about breaking through a Formation, as long as you pay attention..."
A Disciple spoke enthusiastically to Qin Xuan. Hearing that he might leak information, the leading Disciple immediately coughed lightly, signaling him not to disclose anything.
"Junior Brother must be tired from breaking through the rounds. Come over here and rest first. The official assessment will only begin after everyone else has passed the second round!"
Saying this, these people led Qin Xuan to the nearby oasis and prepared a resting room for him.
"Then it would be disrespectful not to comply!"
Qin Xuan didn't decline much, cupped his hands, and walked into the room.
"Great, it seems another powerful Mental Energy Junior Brother has joined the Sect this year!"
The few people said, their eyes looking at Qin Xuan's room with a hint of envy.
"Hmph!"
"What do you say, should we try to win him over to our side? The Azure Dragon side has been gaining a lot of power recently, and our side is a bit too weak."
Hearing this, the two also nodded, clearly pondering whether to win him over.
As the few of them were discussing, a figure hurriedly walked out of the Teleportation Formation.
"Someone else is here?"
Their eyes lit up.
Although this person was not as fast as Qin Xuan, their speed was still quite quick.
"Young Master Fu, the Young Lord has a command!"
The newcomer directly spoke to the leading person.
The Young Lord's command?
The leading person hurriedly went to meet him, took him aside, and casually set up a Formation.
"What are the Young Lord's instructions?"
The figure handed the letter and scroll to this person.
"Young Master Zhao Fu, Zhao Zheng has ordered that you must eliminate this person."
After speaking, the person turned and left, leaving behind Zhao Fu, whose face was fluctuating between clear and overcast.
"Zhao Zheng's lineage is currently in power, and I can't offend them. Forget it, he's just an assessment Disciple, so kill him if he needs to be killed!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Fu opened the letter and read through it to understand the full story. He then looked at Qin Xuan's portrait, and a flash of killing intent crossed his face.
"A mere Young Clan Leader from Fire Wind City dares to kill someone from our Zhao family. He's truly courting death!"
Zhao Fu sneered, then put away the letter and the scroll.
An hour later, more than five hundred people who passed the assessment arrived in the Desert.
Qin Xuan's gaze swept around, then he saw Lu Peng and Zhou Keli standing nearby.
These two were quite strong, arriving here only after Qin Xuan.
"Everyone's here? Then let's begin the third round of assessment!"
Zhao Fu spoke expressionlessly at this moment.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan slightly frowned.
This situation was a world apart from the treatment he had received earlier.
Had something happened?
As Zhao Fu's voice fell, over a dozen Formations immediately rose from the Desert.
