Standing in the middle of the crowd, Qin Ming's eyes were ice-cold as he looked at the interior of the forest behind the group of people. The man named Shen Teng had become hostile towards him, so he naturally did not cower, but instead wanted to see what ability this person had to actually dare provoke him.

Everyone had strange expressions, Qin Ming's cold expression made them feel uneasy, but when they followed Qin Ming's gaze towards the forest behind, they could not help but be shocked.

"There's someone there?"

"Is this guy crippled?" Why are you sitting on the ground and not moving at all? " Everyone was suspicious. Seeing the azure-clothed man sitting cross-legged on the ground with an ice-cold expression and staring at them like a primordial beast, their scalps couldn't help but go numb as if they were being stared at by a snake or scorpion.

Qin Ming took a big step forward and headed towards the forest, causing everyone to reveal looks of shock, and anxiously opened up a path for Qin Ming. However, they were secretly suspicious in their hearts, "Is Qin Ming going to make a move against him?"

Seeing Qin Ming approaching him, Shen Teng who was in the forest frowned, and slowly stood up with an ice-cold expression.

"By killing, I can see that you have taken the wrong path!" Arriving in front of Shen Teng, Qin Ming said with a gloomy face.

"It's none of your business!" Shen Teng's voice was cold, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Qin Ming and responded to his words, then he swept his gaze over the people behind Qin Ming and said, "A group of trash, so many of you are afraid of him?"

"There's something wrong!" Hearing Shen Teng's angry rebuke, Qin Ming was speechless, was Shen Teng looking for help for him?

"This guy is scolding us?"

"Kill him! Qin Ming killed him! After being scolded by Shen Teng, everyone instantly became restless, as if they were ants that had been blown up in a pot. Each of them revealed an angry look as they glared at Shen Teng.

"Humph!" There's really no saving him! " Shen Teng snorted, he looked at Qin Ming and said: Don't kill Xuan Ye, you can cover the sky with your hands! With me, Shen Teng, here, it's not your turn to be arrogant! "

"Shen Teng?"

"He is actually the 'Shen Teng' of the Thousand Slaughter at the outer sect!" Hearing Shen Teng state his name, everyone was instantly shocked. Their faces revealed expressions of terror as they retreated. Recalling what they just said made them extremely vexed.

"Thousand Slaughter?" Qin Ming frowned, hearing how everyone called Shen Teng, he was surprised, wasn't the title Thousand Slaughter a little too unreasonable?

"There is no need to be hypocritical. Only one person in this area can survive and there is only one promotion token. There is no way to avoid a fight between us. If you want to make a move, you can do it!" Withdrawing his gaze, Qin Ming sneered at Shen Teng, and actually chose to directly fight against Shen Teng!

"How arrogant!" "Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you killed Xuan Ye!" Shen Teng's face turned gloomy as he growled. Killing intent surged in his eyes, as he disdained the idea.

"Oh? "So you're saying that you're stronger than Xuan Ye?" Qin Ming purposely put on a surprised expression, then looked at Shen Teng with a cold smile. He knew that Shen Teng was not weak, but he was not strong enough to scare him.

"Do you want to know? Then let me confirm it for you! " Shen Teng squinted his eyes at Qin Ming, and just as he was speaking, he suddenly turned into a shadow, his right hand forming a red sword that swept through the air, flying straight towards Qin Ming!

"Catch him off guard?" Qin Ming laughed disdainfully, facing Shen Teng's sudden attack, he remained calm and collected, but the moment the sword light closed in, Qin Ming suddenly disappeared from his original position!

"Whiz!"

A sonic boom rang out, followed by the appearance of Shocking Rainbow, slashing through the air!

Boom! *

A loud sound rang out, and Shen Teng took a few steps back, the long sword in his hands emitting a trembling sound. His face was pale as he stared in front of him with shock.

With one hand behind his back, the Blood Shadow Sword in Qin Ming's right hand released a blinding light. With a proud and fearless look, he looked at Shen Teng and said: "It's only so-so, your sword is too slow!"

"You … How dare you insult me! " Shen Teng was furious, Qin Ming actually dared to say that his sword was slow, this was even worse than killing him! He lived his life using a sword, killing others for the road, who would dare to say that his sword was slow!

"So what if I insult you?" Qin Ming's expression turned serious, his cold face suddenly turned into an afterimage, the air produced a metallic sound, and a red light flashed out!

Shen Teng's face was ice-cold. He took a step forward and slashed down with his sword. The terrifying sword qi was like the sun in the sky, the color of the sky changing as it cut down the wind!

Boom!

A loud sound suddenly exploded out, emitting a terrifying ripple that shocked the surrounding crowd. Fear appeared on the faces of everyone present, and they could not help but shiver.

Puff!

Shen Teng retreated a few steps, his face was pale white, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes opened wide as he stared at Qin Ming.

"I'll send you off!" Qin Ming's figure appeared, he did not retreat but chose to advance instead.

Shen Teng's expression changed drastically as he hastily waved his sword to welcome the incoming sword beam. However, just as the sword beam swept across the area, a phantom image suddenly appeared on his right side.

Puff …!

The light aura spread out in the sky, and Shen Teng forcefully turned his head to look at Qin Ming. Before could say anything, his body exploded into a rain of light and disappeared.

"Shen Teng was really killed?"

"Qin Ming's sword is actually faster than Shen Teng?" Everyone was shocked. Although Shen Teng was repulsive, Qin Ming killing two experts at the sixth stage of the Core Formation Stage consecutively made everyone unable to accept this fact.

"Look!" The upgrade token has appeared! " Just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, someone suddenly loudly shouted and raised his hand, pointing towards the sky.

Everyone was shocked and looked towards the sky at the same time. All they saw was a palm-sized token floating silently in the air.

Just as everyone was looking up in the sky, and before they could even fight for the Level Rankings, Qin Ming was already in the air, and had the badge in his hand!

"This is the promotion token?" Lowering their heads to look at the order badge in their hands, Qin Ming frowned with suspicion, while everyone below had different expressions, each of them feeling extremely unresigned.

"Advancing successful!"

Just as everyone was silent, there was a sudden sound in the air, and a cold voice came out, following that, only Qin Ming and the group were enveloped in a white light, and in a moment they disappeared!

Outside of the Illusory Spirit Mountain, Qin Ming and the others had all returned. On the stage, Tu Kun frowned, out of the hundreds of thousands of disciples, only a few had returned.

"I'm the first one?" Amongst the crowd, Qin Ming looked around in surprise. When he found out that he was the first one to advance in the selection, he was surprised.

"Qin Ming!" Just as Qin Ming was startled, a cold voice came out from behind him.

Qin Ming frowned, his expression turning strange. When he turned around, he saw a person dressed in black, with a fierce look on his face, his eyes opened wide with killing intent. He glared at him, "You are Xuan Ye?"

"Very good! You can still recognize me, I'll remember your look! " Xuan Ye laughed majestically, his smile was extremely cold and terrifying, looking at Qin Ming as he spoke.

"Oh? Is your skin itchy again? " Qin Ming laughed involuntarily, his smile extremely calm and composed. In the face of Xuan Ye's threat, he simply did not take it seriously.

"You … He was courting death! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you beat me at Illusory Spirit Mountain. Be careful not to not even know how you died! " Xuan Ye was enraged as he growled angrily at Qin Ming. There was a profound mystery behind his words, and he was obviously warning Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was startled, then he smirked as he let out a cold laugh: "It's best if you don't provoke me, because the people who do!"

Xuan Ye's expression froze, and his expression turned ashen. As he looked at Qin Ming's pair of ice-cold eyes, fear surfaced in Xuan Ye's heart.

"Bam!"

Just as Xuan Ye was at a loss for words, a loud sound rang out from within the Illusory Spirit Mountain. One figure after another rushed out of the mountain and returned to the group.

"Zhao Xi?" Qin Ming was shocked. Amongst the returning crowd, he actually saw Zhao Xi's figure, and Zhao Xi looked to be in a rather sorry state. His hair was messy, and the Cultivation Level in his body was rising and falling, as though it had suffered heavy injuries.

"Ten days are up. Those who have obtained tokens, step out!" Just as Qin Ming was looking away, Tu Kun suddenly shouted from the stage.

Qin Ming frowned, after being silent for a moment, he passed through the crowd and arrived at the front of the group of people along with the other people who had advanced their cultivation.

Amongst the hundred participants, other than Qin Ming, Zhao Yi and Xuanming were among them. But the most eye-catching thing was that Zhao Xi, Lin Jing and Leng Ruyan had all stood out.

"They all leveled up?" Amongst the hundred people, Qin Ming saw that there were actually Zhao Xi, Leng Ruyan, and Lin Jing. He was somewhat surprised, as these three women were all social with him, and Leng Ruyan and Lin Jing hated him to the bones.

As Qin Ming was watching Zhao Xi and the others, at the same time, Leng Ruyan and the others were watching him. Especially Zhao Yi and Xuanming, the cold smile on their faces showed that they were trying to provoke Qin Ming.

"The road of becoming a powerhouse requires geniuses as stepping stones. You are nothing more than stones to me as I become a powerhouse!" Qin Ming retracted his gaze and chose to ignore the crowd's provocation.

"Good boy, you've actually reached the second level of the Core Formation Stage. You even managed to stand out in the competition. You really did not let me down!" Tu Kun, who was standing on the stage, seemed to have an indifferent expression, but when he saw Qin Ming appear in front of him, he was quite shocked in his heart.

He naturally knew how cruel the selection for the beginner's competition was. Anyone who could advance had to prove their strength to be beyond ordinary.

"Elder Tu Kun, shouldn't we announce the results now?" The two deacons beside Tu Kun looked at each other, and when they saw Tu Kun lower his head without saying a word, one of the deacons with the name "Yun Cen" said to Tu Kun in a low voice.

"The rankings for the preliminaries are as follows: Zhao Yi, Xuanming, Tian Zhao, Zhao Xi, Qin Ming … Leng Ruyan! These hundred participants are all early stage disciples. " Tu Kun was distracted, he looked down at the people below with a stern expression, and immediately announced the result of the preliminaries.
