Chapter 137: Temporary Chaos
Duan Gujin stepped forward, and a disciple from the Green Cloud Sect handed him a bag, asking him to place his storage ring inside it, and also gave Duan Gujin a digital name tag along with a wooden sword and spear.
The text on the digital name tag was the same as that on the bag.
After receiving the digital name tag, Duan Gujin followed the others into the Teleportation Array.
After a while, a powerful transmission force sent him and other applicants into the nearby Wild Boar Forest.
When the transmission energy dissipated, Duan Gujin opened his eyes and extended his Divine Sense to scan the vicinity; he did not detect any other people nearby.
He knew that he had been transported into the Wild Boar Forest by the Transmission Array, and he was also separated from the others.
Although the Wild Boar Forest was not large, the Sect Elders of the Green Cloud Sect had expanded the internal space of the forest a hundredfold using a Space Array.
Thus, once someone entered the Wild Boar Forest, they would feel that the area of the forest was very vast.
Duan Gujin exhaled and again extended his Divine Sense, this time to check for the presence of people or wild boars nearby.
After a while, Duan Gujin discovered the presence of a strong Divine Sense Shielding Array within the Wild Boar Forest.
"Fainted! In my previous life, I didn't realize it was like this!"
Recalling his experience in the Wild Boar Forest from his past life, Duan Gujin couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions and sigh.
Without much thought, his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage, rushing forward rapidly.
Duan Gujin pondered for a moment, uncertain if the Assassin Dynasty would send assassins into the Wild Boar Forest to carry out their mission.
"I guess the Assassin Dynasty shouldn't hold that much of a grudge against me!"
Duan Gujin soon sensed a wild boar nearby, immediately grabbed the wooden spear, and charged towards it.
With a booming sound, the wild boar instantly fell to the ground.
Although the wild boar had some strength, it was no match for Duan Gujin.
Duan Gujin quickly knocked out all the teeth of the wild boar and placed them in a bag.
After killing the first wild boar, he went in search of the second one.
He had advanced several hundred meters when suddenly he sensed a faint killing aura emerging nearby.
"There's an assassin!"
Duan Gujin sharply inhaled, preparing for combat, ready to face the assassin lurking in the shadows.
His mind raced, a thought quickly flashing through.
"Could it be that the Assassin Dynasty has already infiltrated any location within the Green Cloud Sect?"
The reason for his shock was that he had never considered that the Assassin Dynasty would infiltrate a disciple recruitment test of the Green Cloud Sect.
This meant that from now on, the Assassin Dynasty could easily control the Green Cloud Sect.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and quickly located the enemy hiding in the shadows.
He noticed that the enemy, like him, was armed with a wooden spear and sword, nothing extraordinary.
"Doesn't that assassin have any other powerful weapons?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered. Recalling the previous assassination attempt, he suspected that the enemy before him might have Poison Needles, a Hidden Weapon.
Assassins love to stealthily ambush their foes!
However, the impression that the person before Duan Gujin gave was that of being timid and hesitant, not like a Professional Killer.
"Could it be that he's not a professional assassin?"
Duan Gujin observed the enemy carefully for a while and then concluded that this person was likely not a professional assassin.
Since the person was not a professional assassin, Duan Gujin suspected that he might be another applicant.
"Could he be trying to steal the Wild Boar Teeth on me?"
Duan Gujin felt this was the most probable circumstance.
With a twitch of his lips and an inward sneer, his body flashed and he disappeared into the void.
The person who had been closely watching Duan Gujin noticed his target vanish, and his face dramatically changed, with a shock racing through his heart.
"Terrible! I've encountered an expert!"
His eyes flashed, and he quickly walked out of his hiding spot.
"What a coincidence, friend!"
The young man quickly shouted loudly, his voice booming through the sky, as if fearing that those nearby wouldn't hear him.
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow, immediately realizing that the reason why the young man shouted so deliberately was to attract the attention of people nearby.
If Duan Gujin made a move against him here, it was very likely to draw the attention of others nearby, and then he wouldn't be able to strike at him.
"What a cunning fellow!"
After figuring out the other party's intention, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered. He knew from the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul emitted by the man that his cultivation was at the Red Innate Third Level.
The minimum cultivation requirement to participate in the Green Cloud Sect's disciple recruitment meeting was the Innate First Level.
And that young man was two small realms higher than the minimum requirement, but he was insignificant in Duan Gujin's eyes.
Duan Gujin felt a stir in his heart as the young man revealed himself.
"Do you need something from me?"
He spoke indifferently, his eyes filled with disdain.
"My friend, I want to ask you for directions. Where did you come from, and did you find any wild boar teeth there?"
The young man's gaze flickered, never daring to look directly at Duan Gujin.
"Guilty conscience!"
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and with a wave of his right hand, he said to the young man, "I just came from that place. I hunted a wild boar, and I think there might not be any more wild boars there! You can head in other directions; there might be wild boars in other areas!"
He did not kill the young man because he was too insignificant in his eyes.
"Thanks, big brother!"
The young man felt guilty, he did not dare to invite Duan Gujin to proceed with him, feeling that Duan Gujin had seen through his schemes.
The feelings Duan Gujin gave him earlier made him feel fear, feeling completely exposed in front of the other, as if his heart was seen through, which made him very uncomfortable.
His body flickered, and he rapidly moved towards the Wild Boar Forest to the left.
He did not want to stay there any longer, even though he knew he was getting farther away from Duan Gujin, his heart still pounded unrestrainedly, and his back was still cold.
After he was unable to detect Duan Gujin with his Divine Sense Inspection, he let out a sigh of relief: "That person was terrifying."
The reason Duan Gujin spared the young man was that he completely disregarded him.
In his eyes, that young man was merely an ant.
Since the ant did not initiate an attack on him, he couldn't be bothered to deal with it.
But if that ant provoked him next time, Duan Gujin wouldn't let that ant live.
Duan Gujin continued moving forward, after searching for a while, he hunted four wild boars, and obtained forty wild boar teeth from them.
"Great! I've finally completed the task!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of air, his heart suddenly pounding fiercely, he sensed that his Demonized Martial Soul inside seemed to have reacted.
"Terrible!"
His complexion instantly changed, his heart beating violently.
He knew that people from the Green Cloud Sect would definitely suspect that his released Demonized Martial Soul was not pure, and they would definitely regard him as one of the Demon Cultivators.
He hadn't officially joined the Green Cloud Sect yet, and he didn't want to draw the attention of the Green Cloud Sect.
He quickly sat cross-legged, cultivating to conserve his energy and trying hard to suppress the Demonized Martial Soul within him.
Time slowly passed.
An hour later, he finally suppressed the Demonized Martial Soul in his body.
"Phew! I hope nothing goes wrong with my Demonized Martial Soul later!"
Duan Gujin originally thought that if he acted according to the plan, everything would be error-free, but at the last moment, his Demonized Martial Soul suddenly became agitated.
