After absorbing the two assassins who wanted to flee into his hands, Xing Peng, without any mercy, took their jade tokens from them and then threw them away. After all, this sea area is a dead sea; these people won’t die after falling into the sea surface. By doing this, Xing Peng was actually being merciful. From the trial task, how could Xing Peng not see that the so-called assassination could actually lead to the death of trial participants, and likewise, trial participants could also kill the assassins.

  "The rules of White Tiger Academy are indeed unusually cruel. Outer disciples who fail their missions are actually eradicated. No wonder the four major academies, despite being known as the cradle of King Level warriors, are also known as the place where talents are most likely to fall," Xing Peng mused after finding only three jade tokens on them, presuming that Xing Jianfeng and his companions were their first targets.

  After getting the jade tokens, Xing Peng casually pocketed them and then said to Xing Jianfeng and others, “In these thirty days, how many groups of assassins like these have you encountered?”

  "Thirty days? Uh, how come it's thirty days, Xing Peng? We clearly just came down from the spaceship!" Xing Jianfeng looked at Xing Peng confusedly, "Could it be that you've been in the illusion for thirty days?"

  "Just came down from the spaceship!!" Xing Peng was shocked, a storm of surprise brewing in his heart. The illusion just now was already incredibly unbelievable to him, and he hadn't expected that the time he spent inside would also differ from the outside world. "To what extent has the martial arts of this world advanced, to have illusions and even different time flows!"

  "Yes, we indeed just came down from the spaceship!" Xing Jianfeng confirmed.

  "Alright, I got it, let’s not talk about this. What are your plans next?" Xing Peng asked solemnly, looking at Xing Jianfeng and the others.

  "Xing Peng, we really can't thank you enough for saving us. You are truly amazing. Can we follow you?" Xing Xiaofeng looked at Xing Peng with shining eyes, his gaze incredibly fervent.

  "Whoosh!" Xing Peng’s body flew backward. He had been in a hurry to save people and hadn’t paid much attention to Xing Xiaofeng before. Now, seeing him speak like this, Xing Peng felt goosebumps all over his body. Having such a person follow him, no thanks, that’s not going to make him happy.

  "Xing Peng, why are you running? Can't I follow you? Don’t worry, I definitely won’t be a burden to you." Xing Xiaofeng looked at Xing Peng with a resentful gaze, pinching his fingers together like orchid blossoms, looking like he was hurt.

  "Get lost!" Xing Peng's eyebrows twitched, and a roar came from his mouth. He really couldn’t stand Xing Xiaofeng's behavior and threw a punch at Xing Xiaofeng.

  "Swipe!" Xing Xiaofeng's body shot across the sky like a meteor, disappearing from the sight of Xing Jianfeng and the others.

  "......" Seeing Xing Peng do this, Xing Jianfeng and the others looked at each other with complicated expressions. Although they were all descendants of the Xing family, that Xing Xiaofeng was really something else. It's not that Xing Jianfeng and the others looked down on such people, but even if you have the potential for 'being gay', you should seek out those with the same potential. It was no wonder Xing Peng was uncompromising in his action.

  "You all know that this trial not only involves assassins targeting us but also facing attacks from other trial participants. Do you now choose to temporarily follow me, or do you plan to leave on your own?" Xing Peng asked after sending Xing Xiaofeng flying.

  "I want to follow you, if that’s possible?" Xing Jianfeng tentatively asked.

  "We want to follow you too!" The other seven descendants of the Xing family also looked at Xing Peng nervously.

  "Then you can temporarily follow me. Once I’ve collected all your jade tokens, we can split up," Xing Peng nodded and said. After all, they were from the Xing family. With such strength and blood ties, Xing Peng felt compelled to help.

  "Thanks!" Xing Jianfeng and the others were simultaneously overjoyed upon hearing this. With Xing Peng's help, they at least could pass the second phase of the trial.

  Xing Peng waved his hand and then said, "You guys first take care of your injuries here. I'll check out the surroundings." Saying so, he performed the 'Wind Shadow Steps' and disappeared from the sight of Xing Jianfeng and the others.

  Two minutes later, Xing Peng returned to the side of Xing Jianfeng and the others. After some time of healing, the wounds on Xing Jianfeng and the others had stopped bleeding, and after consuming the healing holy medicine, their spirits had also improved a lot compared to when Xing Peng first encountered them.

  Returning to Xing Jianfeng and the others, Xing Peng casually took out a handful of jade tokens for Xing Jianfeng and the others. When Xing Jianfeng and the others saw Xing Peng casually taking out so many jade tokens, they were all very surprised.

  You know, Xing Peng had only been gone for a little over two minutes, yet he had found more than ten jade tokens in just two minutes. The speed of snatching jade tokens was just too fast.

  Xing Peng didn’t pay attention to the surprise of Xing Jianfeng and the others. Seeing that their spirits had mostly recovered, he quickly led everyone in a certain direction.

  Although Xing Peng slowed down his speed a lot, when Xing Jianfeng and the others followed him, they still felt the pressure. They were almost exerting their full effort to barely keep up with Xing Peng.

  Seeing this, Xing Peng frowned slightly. The strength of Xing Jianfeng and the others, although quite good among the young disciples of Gu Mu City, was still only at the Human Level. Their strength was too far behind his. With them following, his speed of snatching jade tokens was greatly reduced. However, Xing Peng, though frowning, didn’t say anything and tried to slow down so that Xing Jianfeng and the others could keep up.

  A few minutes later, when Xing Peng led Xing Jianfeng and the others to fly out for thousands of meters, they suddenly encountered a group of people. This group, about thirty in number, had varying strengths; the strongest was at the mid-Earth Level, and the weakest was only at the mid-Human Level.

  When Xing Peng and his group encountered these people, their gazes fervently fell on Xing Peng and the others. Then, led by a white-haired young man holding a large ringed saber, they surrounded Xing Peng and his group.

  "What do you guys want!" Seeing these people surrounding them, Xing Jianfeng asked harshly. He recognized that these people were also trial participants.

  "Hand over your jade tokens!" A red-clothed young man with a face full of pockmarks next to the white-haired young man shouted at Xing Jianfeng and the others. His expression was arrogant, his eyes full of disdain.

  "Yes, hurry up and hand over your jade tokens! Otherwise, we'll kill you immediately!" As soon as the red-clothed young man spoke, the other warriors surrounding Xing Peng and his group also shouted loudly. Each of them had a murderous aura, evidently having experienced killing not long ago. These thirty or so people didn’t take Xing Peng and his group seriously at all.
