"Even if you have spiritual power, you can't practice like this anymore. Don't you know that in the martial arts path, gradual progression and cycle are emphasized? By breaking through so quickly, you will make it very difficult to achieve great accomplishments in the future."
"If I wanted to, with the financial resources of my family, I could have surpassed to the ninth level of spiritual martial arts by the age of 12. But do you know why I'm only at the eighth level of spiritual martial arts at the age of 14?"
"Because continuous breakthroughs using training resources is equivalent to breaking the rules of martial arts, bringing power while also causing a burden to the body, and reducing your future comprehension ability."
"Even if you can become a ninth-level master of spiritual martial arts in the short term, in the future, you will face the predicament of never being able to break through to the primordial martial arts. Do you understand my meaning?" Su Mei's emotions were somewhat agitated, but it was clear that she was truly worried about Chu Feng.
Looking at such Su Mei, Chu Feng was both pleased and somewhat heartbroken. He naturally knew that the martial arts path emphasizes gradual progression and cannot be overly ambitious. But this only applies to ordinary people, and Chu Feng obviously couldn't view it in that way.
So Chu Feng was the most familiar with his own body. His body didn't cause any burden due to the rapid breakthrough, but instead became increasingly powerful.
However, he couldn't tell Su Mei the truth because he didn't know how to explain his body. He couldn't say, "I not only have spiritual power, but also have a special constitution, and there is a ball of divine lightning in my Dan Tian?"
This secret, Chu Feng wouldn't easily tell to anyone. If possible, he would keep it hidden for a lifetime.
"Understood, girl. I will be careful." Unable to explain, Chu Feng had to smile and give a casual response.
"You should take care of yourself. I don't want you to ruin your own potential due to excessive ambition." Looking at the smiling Chu Feng, Su Mei became a little angry and turned to walk into her own mansion.
But looking at Su Mei's departing back, Chu Feng's heart was filled with warmth. Having such a caring girl is undoubtedly a happy thing.
The next morning, as the sky began to brighten, Chu Feng had already gotten up. Because today was the assessment day for core disciples. Core disciples are the key cultivated targets of the Blue Dragon Sect, and also the main combat force of the Blue Dragon Sect. Their status is completely different from that of the inner door disciples.
Firstly, core disciples will enjoy the best training resources of the Blue Dragon Sect. Secondly, their families will be protected by the Blue Dragon Sect. Anyone who dares to attack the family of a core disciple is equivalent to being against the Blue Dragon Sect.
Moreover, not all core disciples are like Zhou Zhiyuan. In fact, many core disciples are very strong, most have reached the primordial martial arts realm, and are extremely talented in martial arts. Even some core disciples' strength can match that of the core elders.
Take Su Ruo as an example. If it weren't for her choosing to be an inner door elder, she would be a core disciple now. That means there might be such powerful characters like Su Ruo among the core disciples.
So compared to the inner door, the core area is where Chu Feng most wants to go. It is more challenging, and he likes this kind of life where he has to force himself to become stronger.
The location of the core disciple assessment is also a huge underground palace. However, this underground palace is much larger in scale than the assessment of the inner door, and the traps are much more dangerous.
Most importantly, the traps of the inner door assessment remain unchanged, while the traps of the core disciple assessment change almost every year, with countless tricks. No one knows what the traps will be like this year.
Of course, as long as you have absolute strength, even the most difficult traps can be overcome.
And at this moment, the twelve members of the Wing Alliance finally walked into this huge underground palace.
"Hey, Wing Alliance really pulled out an impressive move, having so many people participate."
"Only twelve people? Can this be called an impressive move?"
"YiMeng has only 33 members in total. This time, nearly half of them were mobilized. Isn't this considered a big move?"
"You're right. Hahaha..."
Chu Feng and the other members of YiMeng had just entered the main hall of the underground palace when they heard a sarcastic voice.
Looking around, they saw two groups of people gathered nearby. One group was the Sword Dao Alliance, and the other was the World Alliance.
Chu Feng had seen the members of the Sword Dao Alliance before. This time, they sent 30 people, among whom besides Sword Seal One, who was of the Spirit Martial Nine Rank, there were three of the Spirit Martial Eight Rank, and the rest were all of the Spirit Martial Seven Rank.
The World Alliance also sent 30 people. Among them, there was one of the Spirit Martial Nine Rank, two of the Spirit Martial Eight Rank, and the rest were all of the Spirit Martial Seven Rank.
As for the sturdy young man with the Spirit Martial Nine Rank ability who had previously taunted YiMeng together with Sword Seal One, he was naturally the leader of the World Alliance.
"How did the World Alliance get together with the members of the Sword Dao Alliance?" Seeing the harmonious appearance of the World Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance, some members of YiMeng felt something was not right.
"Don't pay attention to them. The core disciple assessment is different from the Inner Gate assessment. It relies entirely on individual ability."
"Look at that entrance. It's not uniform. Each person can only enter one. That means the levels in here need to be completed individually."
"However, there's one thing I need to remind you. After leaving the underground palace, it doesn't mean you've passed the assessment. After leaving the underground palace, we will enter a garden."
"There are many medicinal herbs in the garden. This is a reward for everyone after passing the underground palace. But how much reward you can get depends on your own ability."
"The most important thing is that the assessment time limit is two hours. That means, starting from entering the underground palace, we must leave the garden within two hours. Otherwise, the assessment will fail."
Su Tu Yu did not pay attention to the members of the World Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance. Instead, he was telling Chu Feng and the others about the points to note for this core assessment.
Although in terms of the number of members, YiMeng is not as strong as the World Alliance and the Sword Dao Alliance, when it comes to overall strength, YiMeng's advantage is absolute. Especially with Chu Feng, the freak, there is no need to worry about anything.
So they are not afraid that the Sword Dao Alliance and the World Alliance will be unfavorable to them. They only care about whether they can become core disciples. Because if the assessment fails, they will return to the Inner Gate to continue their cultivation. This is a disgrace for YiMeng, and it must not happen.
"Chu Feng, I heard from my sister that that garden was built by the founding patriarch, Qinglong Daoist. So it's called Qinglong Garden."
"There is a kind of flower in Qinglong Garden called 'Colorful Flower'. This colorful flower has seven colors and is extremely beautiful. However, it is very rare and much more precious than the elixir. Not everyone has the chance to see it. But I really want to see it." Su Mei said to Chu Feng, her eyes filled with longing.
"Don't say nonsense. The Qinglong Garden is very large. The colorful flower is really very rare and not so easy to find. It can only be found by chance." Su Mei didn't believe Chu Feng's words.
But Chu Feng just smiled slightly and didn't explain anything further. Instead, when he passed by by Jian Feng's side, he suddenly stopped and said to Jian Feng, "Don't let me see you in the Qinglong Garden. Otherwise, I'll beat your mother to the point that she won't recognize you."
After saying this, Chu Feng didn't give Jian Feng a chance to reply and led Su Mei away quickly. This made Jian Feng extremely angry.
