The symbiotic spiritual plant that absorbed energy—Zhuge Yu’s eyes were deep. He wondered if this was something the C-Level Examiner, Black Crow, brought with him or a trophy set by the Oriental Family. He found that Black Crow was much more difficult to deal with than a B-Level Examiner. Although he, Fu Ning, and Zhongli Ying had not gone all out, with their combined strength, they should have been able to defeat a B-Level Examiner decisively.Who would have thought that Black Crow would use various methods to defuse their attacks?Surely, many people must be surprised by Black Crow now.Just as Zhuge Yu had expected, the audience in the live stream was extremely shocked by the sudden appearance of the vine barrier.“Oh my, is this a symbiotic spiritual plant? A symbiotic spiritual plant that can withstand the attacks of a fifth-order expert!”“No, this is too unfair! He can even call for outside help.”“Idiot, haven’t you read the rules? Except for certain specific items, contestants and examiners can carry any spiritual artifacts or props. Symbiotic spiritual plants are also considered a type of prop, as they are painstakingly cultivated by Spiritual Energy Users and can be fully regarded as part of their strength.”“Exactly! If symbiotic spiritual plants weren’t allowed, then the summoner kid next door might as well just go home.”“This Black Crow is too tenacious! No matter what they do, they can’t kill him.”“I’m wondering now, will he manage to escape later?”“Impossible. Don’t forget, Yue Shenghe hasn’t made a move yet, and Fu Ning was only testing him. Fu Ning’s strength is definitely not as simple as what he’s shown so far.”“That’s right. The Taurus B-Level Examiner was defeated by Fu Ning in three swords. Compared to that battle, Fu Ning clearly held back today.”“Why? Is it because three people attacked simultaneously, so he wanted to slack off?”“Who knows~”“Time to withdraw.”Qin Tian’s eyes flickered. He hadn’t left earlier because he wanted to see how big the gap was between him and the strongest geniuses in the entire starfield. After a brief exchange, he had a clearer understanding.Fu Ning is a fifth-order, six-star Spiritual Energy User, one tier and two stars higher than him in rank. Moreover, Fu Ning is a top-tier scion of a golden family. Judging by the talent light orb, Fu Ning’s talent is likely deep orange, while his Savage Overlord Body and Night Demon have only just touched the edge of mid-orange.In terms of talent level, he is also slightly weaker than Fu Ning.In a one-on-one situation, he probably isn’t Fu Ning’s opponent.But this is normal, after all, he doesn’t believe that his less than a year of effort can compare to a genius successor painstakingly cultivated by a golden family for over twenty years.However, his advantage lies in his diverse methods.If he can’t win head-on, escaping is still no problem.“Let’s finish this quickly.”Zhuge Yu said, if the three of them, with their combined strength, couldn’t take down a C-Level Examiner within a few rounds, it would truly be a bit embarrassing.Of course, this was their first battle after forming a four-person team, so their coordination wasn’t perfect, and everyone was holding back, making this situation understandable.But it must be said that this Black Crow was indeed extraordinary, much more difficult to deal with than the Zodiac B-Level Examiners.“Alright!”Fu Ning nodded softly. The next moment, a sky-shattering sword intent soared into the sky, tearing through the clouds.He was getting serious.Zhuge Yu formed hand seals, and Zhongli Ying drew her bow and notched an arrow. This strike was meant to end the battle completely.But at this very moment, a dense black mist, like a tsunami, erupted from Qin Tian’s body, instantly engulfing several miles of heaven and earth.Demon King Domain — Activate!In an instant, the four felt as if they were trapped in a swamp, their movements becoming exceptionally sluggish, and the spiritual energy within their bodies was strongly suppressed.Most critically, everyone’s sensory abilities were drastically compressed—whether it was sight, hearing, or mental power detection, all were confined to a few feet around them.Zhuge Yu frowned deeply, and the Heavenly Mystery Disk in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling green light, complex array patterns rapidly shifting in the air.“Wind Howl!”A violent hurricane rose in response, attempting to disperse the bizarre black mist.However, to Zhuge Yu’s {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} surprise, no matter how fiercely the strong winds raged, the black mist remained motionless, as if bound by some invisible force.“Careful!”He had just called out a warning when he discovered that his voice was completely swallowed by the black mist. An ominous premonition immediately surged in his heart—what kind of bizarre ability was this?At the same time, Fu Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although his five senses were lost, his Heavenly Profound Sword Heart could still vaguely perceive the figure lurking in the darkness.“Zheng—!”A clear sword cry cut through the deadly silence. A dragon-like sword qi tore through the black mist, leaving a ten-zhang deep, jagged crack on the ground. However, this sword ultimately missed its target.The tightly drawn bowstring of Zhongli Ying produced a faint tremor. This divine archer’s face was tense at this moment—losing her vision was akin to having her wings broken, and a feeling of unease spread in her heart. Yue Shenghe was enveloped in a bright yellow spiritual light, unmoving like a mountain. Although confident in his own defense, the loss of sensory abilities put him at a disadvantage. He could feel his companions were still nearby, but he couldn’t pinpoint Black Crow’s whereabouts at all.Just as everyone was poised for battle, the black mist that enveloped the world dispersed as suddenly as it had appeared.And when visibility returned to clarity, Black Crow’s figure was long gone.“He got away.”Zhuge Yu frowned slightly. For them, with the combined strength of three, to let Black Crow escape was indeed a considerable blow to their newly formed team.At this moment, the bullet screen also began to explode.“Holy crap, he actually got away!”“Who exactly is this Black Crow? Four people couldn’t take him down!”“To be precise, it was three people; Yue Shenghe didn’t make a move. But this is still outrageous! I thought Fu Ning could take him out with one sword.”“Incredible, absolutely incredible. I declare that from now on, I am officially a fan of Black Crow. I will search for his figure in every live stream.”“No, three Five-Star Geniuses, plus one Four-Star Genius, and this lineup can’t even take down a C-Level Examiner? What are they even doing? They should just disband, it’s an eyesore.”“Zhuge Yu, can you calculate it again?”Zhongli Ying walked up to Zhuge Yu, saying with a hint of unwillingness.Zhuge Yu did not reply. He held the Heavenly Mystery Disk and had already begun to calculate Black Crow’s location, but at that moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. If he continued to calculate, the consequences would be dire.“Heaven’s secrets cannot be easily revealed.”Zhuge Yu shook his head, “One calculation is already the limit. To find him, you’ll have to find another way.”Upon hearing this, Zhongli Ying gritted her teeth but could only give up.At this moment, Fu Ning turned his head to one side, frowning slightly. He felt as if something had been watching him just now, but after a careful search, he found nothing.In the sky, an illusory soul body gazed at the ground, then transformed into a streak of light, traversing several streets, and finally entering someone’s mouth.“Fu Ning, Zhuge Yu, Yue Shenghe.”Beneath the evil spirit mask, a crimson glow flashed in those dark eyes.
