Chapter 26 - Prohibitions

"You actually have enough Origin Energy Shi Zhanlie Flame Palm when you execute the Origin Skill?" Zhan Jinshan could not help but grin.

This was the reason why Wang Jin chose the Origin Skill. It was a martial skill without no attribute, and because it focused on stimulating the human body's potential, it could be combined with other martial skills to cause injuries!

However, most martial artists didn't have enough origin energy to display this technique. This was because not only did they have to display these two skills simultaneously, but they also had to put in a lot of effort to fuse them together. Only someone at the sixth level of the Source Spirit Realm would have the strength to use this method. This was also the reason why Old man of the pavilion didn't think highly of Wang Jin back then.

However, Wang Jin possessed a Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit, and the Source Spirit s they provided him was stronger than martial artists of the same level. Furthermore, Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit currently possessed both the fire and strong wind attributes, thus his Source Spirit strength could already rival those at the sixth level of the Source Spirit Realm.

Wang Jin was only at the early fourth level of the Source Spirit Realm!

Following that, something that made Zhan Jinshan feel even more despair happened. Both of Wang Jin's hands simultaneously struck out with his fire palms and combined with his Elemental Arts, attacking him crazily.

Zhan Jinshan was already stunned, he never would have thought that such a miracle would happen to Wang Jin. If he had known earlier, he would have escaped as far away as he could.

After a dozen more exchanges, the whip in Zhan Jinshan's hand was broken, and his body was covered with wounds.

The hateful thing was, he could not escape, because he had already set up the nine palace arrays, so it would not be possible for him to remove it in a short period of time.

"This is called harming yourself and others! Zhan Jinshan, hand over your life!" Wang Jin punched Zhan Jinshan in the chest.

Puff … -

Zhan Jinshan's chest immediately ignited in flames, his skin and flesh scorched, and he spat out blood essence as he kneeled down and slid a distance away!

"Wait a minute, let me go, I know I was wrong!" Zhan Jinshan immediately threw away the deformed whip in his hand and begged Wang Jin for mercy.

"I've also asked you this question before, but your answer is no, so you can't blame me." Wang Jin kicked Zhan Jinshan to the ground, then pounced on him and killed him with a few punches.

After Zhan Jinshan died, his face was full of regret. His corpse did not emit any light aura, Wang Jin's Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit caught hold of the metal Source Spirit's aura.

"Withdraw!" Wang Jin thought.

Swoosh!

A ball of golden light immediately flew out from Zhan Jinshan's body and entered Wang Jin's dantian.

The Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit immediately turned into a red and light green double colored light, fiercely smashing towards the metal Source Spirit!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Fusion successful!

A metallic halo appeared around the scarlet-red Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit.

"Right now, the Heavenly Wolf Source Spirit already possesses the power of three kinds of Source Spirit: the ninety-second place in the Source Spirit List, the eighty-fifth place in the Strong Gale, and the eighty-seventh place in the Metal Spirit Beast. I can feel that the Source Spirit's power is much stronger, but the amount of Essence it consumes to cultivate in the future is also much greater."

Therefore, Wang Jin half squatted down and reached out his hand to search for Zhan Jinshan's corpse. After a while, he took out seven ordinary primeval stone s, and a large portion of them were already used on the Blue Jade Sword's mosaic, leaving Wang Jin with only this little bit.

After that, Wang Jin accidentally found a secret book with a wavy pattern on the cover and a delicate little bag that was the size of a thumb.

Wang Jin first opened the secret manual that had wave patterns on it, and quickly read through it.

"Forbidden record?" He was overjoyed, and after looking at it more carefully, he discovered that there were all kinds of simple and complex restrictions inside, even nine palace arrays s were recorded.

"The contents were hand-drawn. It seems to be written by Zhan Jinshan, but it's a pity that this genius restriction master died from his greed." Wang Jin closed the Record of Inhibition Formations and kept it, planning to study it when he returned to Tongqing Sect.

Then he picked up the small, delicate bag and opened it. He found a few rice sized silver balls inside.

"What pill is this?" Wang Jin did not have much hope, since Zhan Jinshan was only a servant of the Situ Family, the quality of the pills he had would not be much better.

Wang Jin picked up a pill and placed it under his nose to smell it. He discovered that it was brimming with a faint fragrance, and it instantly made people hungry.

It should be edible. With that thought, Wang Jin threw the pill into his mouth and swallowed it. After that, he broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if he had been too excited. He didn't even know what the effects of this pill were, so he just randomly ate it.

Wang Jin hurriedly prayed in his heart that it was not poison. After a while, he suddenly felt that his stomach had become full, full as it was, and that it was possible for him to not eat anything for three days and three nights!

"Fasting Pill!" Wang Jin was so happy that he even saved the money to buy supplies.

A Fasting Pill could instantly fill a person's stomach. A single Fasting Pill could sustain a cultivator's appetite for three days. The Fasting Pill was a low grade pill, and the price of one Fasting Pill was a normal primeval stone. However, warriors would rather eat than waste the primeval stone on a Fasting Pill, so a greedy villain like Zhan Jinshan should not be willing to spend the primeval stone to buy it, and should have obtained it through other methods.

No matter what, the Fasting Pill is mine now. Wang Jin counted happily and found that there were still twenty-four Fasting Pills left in the delicate pouch.

"The time allotted for the inner court disciple selection is one month. It's enough." Wang Jin also kept the delicate small bag and burned Zhan Jinshan's body to ashes with his Flame Palm.

After that, he circulated the Source Spirit's energy and attacked the nine palace arrays with all his might, breaking through the formation in less than two hours. Zhan Jinshan had initially said that it would take Wang Jin half a day to break this formation, but Wang Jin was not an ordinary warrior of the fourth level of the Source Spirit Realm.

After returning to the Tongqing Sect, Wang Jin started to continue his cultivation. After fighting with Zhan Jinshan, he had gained a lot and spent the remaining ten primeval stone s, finally raising his cultivation to the middle of the fourth level of the Source Spirit Realm!

"Now I'm a penniless pauper." Wang Jin laughed bitterly, a primeval stone, he needed a lot of them.

"Learn more about life-saving methods." Wang Jin then took out the Inhibition Formations and started to study it as if he was drunk.

During this time, he went down the mountain to the Linhua Town to retrieve his Blue Jade Sword. After inserting the Fire Attribute Level 3 Beast Core into the blue jade sword, Wang Jin tried to inject it into the Power of Flame Essence, but he found that his control had improved greatly, and even using 10% of the Source Spirit's power, he was able to achieve 20% effect!

"I heard that the Daqing Mountains is filled with beasts. If only I could obtain a higher quality beast core." Wang Jin was looking forward to it.

The restrictions were extremely complicated. Some people could only study for a lifetime and could not even learn a tenth of it. In that span of seven days, Wang Jin had only learned a single thing.

However, Wang Jin had learnt a little restriction that cut off eyes and ears, and this would be of great use to him during the assessment in Daqing Mountains.

Time flew and the day of the inner sect disciple selection examination finally arrived. The previous and current year's outer sect disciples of Tongqing Sect added up to a total of more than five thousand people.

This time's assessment, was led by Outer Sect Elders Lu He himself.

Facing the black mass of outer sect disciples, Elder Lu He shouted loudly: "Just like previous sessions, one of the great elders of our Tongqing Sect s personally laid a powerful restriction on the Daqing Mountains. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent certain excessively powerful demon beasts or those experts who are plotting against the Tongqing Sect from sneaking in and causing unnecessary harm.

However, if you feel that there is no danger to your lives in this exam, then you are wrong. The beasts in the forbidden area are fatal to most of you, and not only do you have to guard against the beasts, you must also guard against the same sect.

"Why?" A few rookies could not help but ask.

"Idiot!" Some of the previous outer court disciples coldly ridiculed him.

Elder Lu He squinted his eyes, looked at the crowd, and continued: "The rules of this assessment is to use any means possible to collect other people's identity plates, and then return to the exit after a month to gather all the outer disciples, and to collect a certain number of identity plates, then become an inner disciple, and enjoy most of the cultivation resources in the Tongqing Sect!"

"No matter what means? Can you even kill people? " Another person asked.

"Sure."

"Then how many tags do we need to collect?"

Hearing this, Elder Lu He slowly extended a finger: "At least one hundred identity tokens. However, in this examination, only twenty inner disciples will be accepted. The results will be from the disciples who have collected one hundred identity tokens or more, and they will be filtered from highest to lowest."

"Ugh …" The entire audience was in an uproar.

Only twenty inner disciples were accepted out of five thousand people. This elimination rate was simply too abnormal.

"Isn't this telling us to kill each other!?" Some disciples cried out involuntarily.

"In my eyes, outer court disciples aren't even human. Only by becoming an inner court disciple can you deserve the respect of others! Tongqing Sect does not accept cowards. If you are afraid, then get the hell back to your father's nest before the battle begins! " Lu He bellowed.

Out of the five thousand outer sect disciples present, no one was willing to give up this opportunity. Most of them were hoping to find a place to hide if it was too dangerous, and to keep their lives until the next assessment.

"Zhang Ancheng, why are you here as well? Don't you want to stay in chore house comfortably? " Clan Elder Lu He had noticed Zhang Ancheng who was seated in the front row.

"Hehe, I feel that the work of an outer court disciple is simply a waste of youth. As a martial artist, you should make up your mind to pursue martial arts, challenge others and surpass yourself!" Zhang Ancheng looked solemn and righteous.

"It's good for you to have such a sense of awareness, but you've been helping me for so long. If you're not careful and die, I'll lose a capable assistant and keep some rest." Lu He said indifferently, all these years Zhang Ancheng had been giving him filial respect with his primeval stone s.

"Thank you for your concern!" Zhang Ancheng lowered his head, a murderous light flashing past his eyes.

"Let's go!" Elder Lu He waved his hand.

The five thousand outer sect disciples, led by Elder Lu He, majestically headed towards the north of the drill grounds. After exiting the Tongqing Sect's back door, everyone saw a row of deep blue mountain range surrounded by clouds in the distance.

The Tongqing Sect was just located at the edge of the Daqing Mountains. Even deeper inside the Daqing Mountains, there are countless hidden dangers.

Everyone looked at Daqing Mountains from afar and felt that they were as small as grains of rice. Occasionally, there would be a terrifying echo from deep within the mountains.

Elder Lu He brought over five thousand outer sect disciples and left the Tongqing Sect's back door, continuing to head north. After walking another five kilometers, they finally arrived at the Daqing Mountains's entrance to gain experience.
