Chapter 354: The Second One

Cheng Li stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang.

His heart was filled with shock, anger, and confusion.

He and Mu Wei were Cultivators who had entered the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace in the same batch; they had met during the assessment and had a very good relationship.

Otherwise, he would not have been so unguarded against Mu Wei.

Moreover, in the proposal he had put forward, there was not the slightest disadvantage for Mu Wei.

It was a situation of cooperation and mutual benefit.

Why would Mu Wei want to attack him?

"Because..."

"I am Wang Jianqiang."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled.

His face blurred, and then it transformed into his original appearance.

Seeing this, Cheng Li's eyes nearly popped out.

Mu Wei was actually disguised as Wang Jianqiang!

More crucially, he had actually failed to see through the other party's Disguise!

A bitter expression could not help but surface on his face, "As expected of a Cultivator capable of plundering the entire Desolate City's examinees, your methods are truly extraordinary; I admit defeat."

After speaking, he took out a Space Ring and threw it to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang took the Space Ring and scanned it with his Spirit Sense.

His heart stirred.

He looked at Cheng Li with a half-smile, "That's not right, Senior, this shouldn't be your Space Ring, right?"

"You want to fool me by stuffing a few Desolate Beads into a ring snatched from other New Students?"

"Senior is afraid of thinking a bit too much."

"Hand over your own Space Ring."

Cheng Li's expression stiffened, "Junior, give me some face; how about we treat it as if Senior owes you a favor?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

Cheng Li's expression turned ugly, "Junior, you have only just joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace; having more friends means more paths..."

Bang~

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jianqiang had already slapped him across the face.

One of Cheng Li's cheeks instantly turned bright red and swelled up high.

A few white teeth honorably retired.

"What are you blathering about?"

Wang Jianqiang sneered.

Since the other party was not self-aware, he could only do it himself.

Amidst Cheng Li's shocked and angry expression.

He rummaged through his body.

Finally, he found four more Space Rings.

One of them was Cheng Li's own, while the other three were ones he had snatched from New Students.

Having witnessed Wang Jianqiang's decisiveness, Cheng Li no longer dared to beep.

Not until Wang Jianqiang finished checking the Space Rings and looked back at him did he couldn't help but ask, "Has Mu Wei already fallen into your hands?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Cheng Li let out a long sigh of relief.

Since the founding of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, instances of Old Students falling into the hands of New Students were few and far between.

If news of him falling into the hands of a New Student were to spread, he would certainly be mocked by the many students within the Immortal Palace.

Fortunately.

He was not the only one who was embarrassed.

Just at this moment.

He suddenly saw Wang Jianqiang's fingers tapping continuously, and as Spirit Light flickered, they transformed into strands of Restriction.

His heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

"Junior~ what are you doing?" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Please rest for a few days, Senior."

As soon as the words fell, a slap landed on Cheng Li's other intact cheek.

With a thud, Cheng Li fainted to the ground.

Wang Jianqiang moved his intent.

The already condensed Restriction landed on his body.

Afterwards, he cast hundreds more Restrictions in succession before stopping.

He dug a pit in the ground.

And buried Cheng Li inside.

After some concealment, he used Instant Movement to appear before the group of women several dozen miles away.

As early as when he first discovered Cheng Li, he had already notified the women of the news.

At this moment, the women were waiting in full readiness.

Prepared at any time to receive Wang Jianqiang's message and then strike.

Upon seeing Wang Jianqiang flash into appearance.

The women were stunned.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say you encountered an Old Student?"

Mu Lingxi could not help but ask.

The women were also filled with confusion.

If they had encountered an Old Student, a great battle would have been unavoidable.

Yet they had not sensed the slightest fluctuation of battle.

Could it be...

That the sensing was wrong?

Noticing the women's confusion.

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"I did indeed encounter an Old Student, but I was lucky; the one I met was Cheng Li."

"He has a good relationship with Mu Wei and had not the slightest guard up."

"I buried him with ease."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the women revealed looks of realization.

Afterward, Wang Jianqiang and the others continued forward.

It was still Wang Jianqiang disguised as Mu Wei scouting the path ahead, with the women following far behind.

One hour later.

Wang Jianqiang sensed the aftermath of a battle.

He looked toward the distance ahead.

He notified the women.

And flew rapidly toward the direction from which the battle fluctuations came.

"Yo, not bad strength!"

"To think you could dodge my sneak attack."

A young man stood atop a large tree, looking down at the figure below.

That was a man with a slender build, whose features were more delicate than those of many women.

At this moment.

A streak of crimson blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

He stared fixedly at the figure on the tree, his expression grave.

Just a moment ago.

While he was passing through here, this person had suddenly appeared and launched an attack on him.

This person's strength was extremely formidable.

He could sense a resilient and peculiar power emanating from the opponent.

That was...

Will Power!

This person was a Cultivator who had Manifested Will!

"Who are you?"

"Why did you attack me?"

His gaze flickered as he asked in a deep voice.

He could confirm that the opponent was definitely not one of the New Students.

On the large tree.

The young man smiled, "I am a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student. As for why I attacked you?"

"It's very simple; I accepted the Newcomer Training Mission of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace."

"The 'training' refers to the training of teaching a lesson."

After speaking, he smiled.

He pointed a finger.

A streak of Spiritual Power tore through the air.

This Spiritual Power was not only thick but also incomparably resilient, far more resilient than the Spiritual Power of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Perfection Cultivator.

It was like the difference between plastic and steel.

Jiang Xuan knew this was because this person had integrated Will into their Spiritual Power.

He dared not be the slightest bit careless.

A pair of slender, fair hands, like those of a woman, pressed forward.

A cold, clear luster suddenly appeared.

A phantom of a silver full moon manifested.

Bang~

The finger force landed on the full moon phantom; the full moon phantom trembled and shattered.

Jiang Xuan immediately flashed and shifted several zhang to the side.

However, he was still a bit too slow.

A bloody gash was carved into his shoulder by the opponent's Spiritual Power.

"Oh?"

"To think you blocked it again!"

Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across the young man's face.

That strike just now.

He had already increased his power to thirty percent.

To think he still hadn't severely wounded the opponent; the strength of this New Student exceeded his expectations.

"It seems I need to use a bit more effort."

The young man smiled, preparing to continue his attack.

Suddenly, he sensed an aura rapidly approaching.

This is...

Mu Wei?

His expression shifted as he looked toward the side.

The next moment.

A figure appeared on the horizon, flying over in the blink of an eye and appearing in the battlefield.

Another one has come!

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Xuan's heart sank.

The Will Power on the newcomer was not concealed in the slightest, and they looked very unfamiliar.

Clearly, they were also an Old Student of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace.

Someone who had accepted a Newcomer Training Mission!

The young man looked at the newcomer, his brows furrowed, "Mu Wei, what is the meaning of this?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Jiang Xuan calmly, then smiled at the young man in the tree.

"I just happened to be passing by, sensed the fluctuations of battle here, and came over to take a look."

"Brother Song, no need to be nervous?"
