Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Unnoticed by anyone, a grayish-white mist quietly drifted through his heart.

Not far away, Lin Lu took one last deep look at him, then placed her hand on the stone tablet and disappeared.

"Hello!"

Chen Yu, who was waiting to leave, looked at Jiang Feng in the distance and sneered loudly, "Are you still going to take the test or not?"

"Look at him, acting like a coward! He's probably too scared of failure at the last minute to even go up!"

As the former winner of the Xuan Gu test at the exhibition, Jiang Feng's face was naturally recognized by everyone present.

They couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this guy who had advanced to the Spirit Bone level in one fell swoop.

Seeing that he didn't even dare to touch the stone tablet, the disdain and contempt on everyone's faces intensified.

"Jiang Feng, don't be afraid, it's just a test!"

"Yeah, yeah, anyway, we still don't understand the principle behind passing it, so if we fail, we fail, it's no big deal!"

Yuan Guannan and the other students from No. 13 Middle School who hadn't gotten in were also getting anxious for him. They wanted to refute Chen Yu and the others' mockery, but they didn't know how.

After all, from their perspective, Jiang Feng's actions were indeed as the other party said: he was too afraid to test it.

Jiang Feng did not reply to them.

The jeers from the crowd gradually subsided.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

3 minute later.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Jiang Feng walked up to the stone tablet.

"Hmph, a test like this requires a three-minute mental warm-up. You should be glad this thing isn't testing your character, otherwise..."

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Yuan Guannan jumped in again, "Otherwise, wouldn't you be just like us, standing here dumbfounded because you failed the test?"

Chen Yu: "Fuck you!"

He had been insulted three times in just half an hour. Considering he was a respectable figure at No. 3 Middle School, and how could everyone trample on him like that, he couldn't hold back any longer and was about to retaliate—

But in the next moment.

Everyone, including him, was suddenly stunned.

Jiang Feng stood in front of the stone tablet, his hands hanging naturally at his sides... doing nothing.

Then... he disappeared.

Amidst countless astonished gazes, someone swallowed hard.

"Did he... not touch the stone tablet at all?"

.........

The fog before my eyes dissipated, and the feeling of weightlessness returned, then vanished.

Jiang Feng landed steadily on the flat ground.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

A glint of light flickered in his eyes.

"The second kind of power..." he muttered to himself.

Just when he was about to give up, the gray mist power in his mind seemed to sense his predicament once again.

So it granted itself another ability.

Open the panel, and a detailed introduction will appear.

[The Mystery of Cause and Effect]

[Effect: Blocks high-level observation, conceals one's talents and race, but the higher the level involved, the greater the karmic consequences.]

These few dozen words sent chills down Jiang Feng's spine.

He used the causal fog to evade the test of the King Wu's Stele and successfully arrived in this new space.

Does this also mean that he will inevitably be tainted by some kind of cause and effect in the future?

Jiang Feng shook his head vigorously, suppressing the thought.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

However, for the sake of the future, it's best to use this strange power sparingly.

He said to himself.

.......

After calming himself down, Jiang Feng began to observe his surroundings.

It was a house, empty, with nothing inside.

About 500 meters to his left, there was a door. He couldn't see clearly what was on the other side of the door, but there was light.

He stood up.

After thoroughly searching the room and making sure nothing was missed, he finally walked to the door.

At the same time, he activated various protective buffs on his body, and then the dark red bracelet in his hand transformed into the Darkin Scythe.

Having prepared himself, he took a step forward.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

However, Jiang Feng was stunned the moment he saw what was behind the door.

There are neither mutated monsters nor treasure vaults here.

Instead, it was a... study?

No, this scene can no longer be described as a "study"; it's more like a "library."

The space is so vast that it seems to stretch on forever.

Towering black sandalwood bookshelves stretched out in rows, piled high with countless yellowed scrolls and books. The air was filled with the stale scent of ink, mixed with a faint, almost pungent stench, reminiscent of the putrid smell of something rotting.

In the vast space, he didn't see a single person.

It hadn't been long since he arrived, so there couldn't possibly be no one there.

so....

"Is the location behind the stone tablet also random?" he muttered to himself, and began to wander around the library.

suddenly!

A sharp whooshing sound came from the darkness overhead!

He hurriedly looked up and saw a book fall down.

He reached out and took it, then looked at it.

It's just an ordinary theoretical textbook, nothing special.

But at the same time, another voice resounded from the empty space above:

"Jiang Feng! Catch me!"

Jiang Feng was startled, but quickly made a judgment.

He looked up and locked onto the figure falling from the sky. In just 0.01 seconds, he confirmed where she would land. Then, shadow flames gathered beneath his feet, and he vanished from the spot as a blur.

"ah!"

As Lin Lu fell, she suddenly felt her exposed thighs being steadily supported by a pair of hands.

Immediately, a figure landed behind her, supporting her lower back with one hand and wrapping his arm around her knees with the other.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, she instinctively wrapped her arms around their neck.

"Boom!"

As the dust settled, the two landed steadily.

"You actually caught me in a princess carry, that's something else."

Lin Lu breathed a sigh of relief in Jiang Feng's arms, her eyes filled with a smile.

The former chuckled and released his grip.

Lin Lu followed suit and came down.

As expected of someone with a martial arts background, Lin Lu's thighs were firm, smooth, and tender, with an excellent feel.

If it had been Luo Feng, he probably would have grabbed the other person's shoulders and lifted him down.

"How did you get down from the sky?" Jiang Feng asked, steadying himself.

Hearing this, Lin Lu was pulled back to the right track, gritting her teeth and saying:

"Don't even mention it! After passing the stone tablet, I was teleported to a medicinal herb garden."

"I was so happy to see the precious medicine inside that I didn't even notice that not far away, Lu Hengzhou was fighting with a few people I didn't know."

"Then they found me while they were fighting. I couldn't beat them, so I had no choice but to crush the bracelet and leave. But when I was retreating, I stepped into thin air. I must have triggered some kind of hidden teleportation array. When I regained my sight, I was already freefalling from mid-air."

At this point, Lin Lu patted his chest, still feeling a lingering fear, and said:

"Luckily, I have sharp eyes and noticed someone down there. Turns out it was you! Hehe, you know what happens next."

Jiang Feng was speechless.

"This King Wu's ruins are truly bizarre, with so many traps," he murmured.

Although Lin Lu's words were far-fetched, there was nothing wrong with them, so he naturally had no doubts.

"Since we've bumped into each other, let's explore together," Jiang Feng said.

"Okay." Lin Lu nodded.

Then, the two began searching the library.
