Conquer the game world

Chapter 11 The Bottom
With a series of difficult side-step dodges, Ye Feng once again dodged the black mist attack spewed out by the Ghost Shadow BOSS, and then swung a bone spear at the Ghost Shadow BOSS with his other hand.

Although the bone spear successfully hit the Ghost Shadow BOSS, it didn't deal much damage. This is understandable, as Ye Feng had gained a lot of experience, but it was all still stored there. After level 10, leveling up would require manually entering the game interface. Ye Feng had only stored the experience so far and hadn't had time to use it yet.

Ye Feng, at level 10, was already struggling against level 15 monsters, let alone boss-level monsters. It was even more difficult for him. If Ye Feng hadn't used his god-like movement skills to dodge most of the attacks, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have been killed instantly.

Even so, Ye Feng still had to drink several bottles of red potions to keep going, while he consumed even more blue potions. There was no way around it; he was using his skills too frequently, and the damage wasn't even that great. Looking at the few blue potions left, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh, "These blue potions really don't last long. No wonder they say on TV that you should always keep blue potions at home."

Fortunately, although this BOSS is troublesome, it's only a bit tough. Its speed and attack power aren't too strong. It seems that if we keep attriting it like this, it's only a matter of time before we take it down.

As the damage continued, the BOSS's health slowly dwindled. At this moment, the BOSS roared and entered a berserk state. Just like in real games, this game still features a BOSS going into a berserk state when it's about to die.

The berserk BOSS exploded, unleashing countless black mist attacks from all directions, making it seem impossible for Ye Feng to avoid them.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was prepared and activated the Paladin's defensive shield skill in advance. Although his mana was consumed quickly under the shield's protection, he was able to withstand the BOSS's berserk attack by continuously replenishing his mana with mana potions.

After his berserk state subsided, Ye Feng was naturally unharmed. He continued to unleash several bone spears, quickly slaying the ghostly boss. Instantly, a pile of items dropped to the ground.

I picked it up and looked at it. Apart from some ordinary materials, I didn't get any equipment. It seems my luck wasn't too good. The only thing with some value was the Ghostly Pointer, which said that it could sense the location of the Ghostly Fang.

Ghostly Flirt is a boss you'll encounter in later dungeons. It seems this item is quite useful; I'll put everything into my inventory. It looks like there shouldn't be any more monsters along the way, so Ye Feng quickened his pace and rushed towards the mountaintop.

If someone were to discover Ye Feng at this moment, they would be extremely surprised. Ye Feng, in his accelerated state, is far faster than Qi Lun, who is in first place. If Ye Feng had wanted to take first place from the beginning, it would have been a sure thing for him.

By this time, the spiritual power test at the summit was basically over, and several lucky individuals who had been found to possess spiritual power had successfully qualified to enter the inner sect. Also allowed to enter the inner sect were the tall man and several other individuals with exceptional skills; these were all people who had performed remarkably well during the ascent of the Heavenly Ladder.

As for the others who failed to enter the inner sect, they didn't show much sadness or despair. After all, being able to enter the outer sect already meant receiving good treatment, and they were much luckier than those who were eliminated.

After finishing all this, it was already evening. At this time, the two senior uncles had already led the disciples who had entered the inner sect to leave. As for the disciples of the outer sect, someone would naturally come to receive them later.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Feng suddenly climbed to the top of the mountain and appeared before them.

Ye Feng's sudden appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention, as no one expected anyone to come up at this time. His two senior uncles were clearly also surprised.

"Hmph, you're really late. What's your name?" said the martial uncle surnamed Mu.

"Junior Ye Feng greets Martial Uncle."

"Regardless, you've made it to the top. According to the rules, let's conduct a spiritual power test." Although Uncle Mu didn't think highly of Ye Feng, who was the last to reach the top, he still cautiously conducted the test for Ye Feng according to the usual procedure.

"Who is this kid? I think he didn't run up here, he climbed up here."

"Yes, I think so too. How could this kid possibly possess spiritual power? I don't think we need to test him." The sudden appearance of Ye Feng attracted the attention of the crowd, but most of the attention was directed at his mockery.

"Just hold this ball in your hand, try to relax, and don't think about anything." Uncle Mu handed over something that looked like a transparent glass ball.

Ye Feng took the glass ball and immediately felt a suction force emanating from it. Upon closer inspection, he realized that his remaining blue energy had been completely drained.

Ye Feng didn't have a lot of mana to begin with, and after fighting the BOSS, he didn't choose to replenish it. He mainly thought that since there was no more fighting, he could let it recover on its own and save some mana. After all, Ye Feng was a poor guy at this point.

Seeing his mana almost completely drained, Ye Feng was naturally frustrated, but he didn't think about replenishing it because he noticed that the glass ball was already reacting.

Although the glass ball didn't react much, it did react in a real way, with a faint white mist forming inside the otherwise transparent glass ball.

"Hmm, it actually possesses spiritual power, but the amount is far too little." Uncle Mu was initially surprised by the glass ball's reaction, but after thinking about it, he wasn't surprised. No wonder it took so long to get up there. Although it possesses spiritual power, such a small amount is probably not very useful. Fortunately, spiritual power can be gradually increased through cultivation. As long as one possesses spiritual power, one is qualified to enter the inner sect.

"Not bad, congratulations, you can enter the inner sect now." "What? This kid actually has spiritual power? Am I blind?" The outer sect disciple who had been mocking and jeering at Ye Feng earlier was naturally furious, feeling like he'd been slapped in the face.

However, no matter how unhappy they were, the reality that their status and position would be different from now on was still starkly presented before them, and those who recognized the reality naturally dared not really act recklessly.

After quickly regrouping, Ye Feng and his group left with their two senior uncles.

With two god-like senior uncles leading the way, the group no longer needed to climb the heavenly ladder. They were carried away by the white mist, feeling light as a feather, and left the mountain.

It was everyone's first time flying, so they were all a bit surprised. The only ones who remained calm were Ye Feng, who was used to such things, and Qi Lun, who was the first to reach the summit.

"Uncle-Master, where are we going?" someone couldn't help but ask as they saw that they had left the mountain they were originally on.

"Of course we'll go to the real peak of our Stardust Sect. This peak is just a cover for us to hide from the outside world. Of course, all the outer disciples are on this peak," Uncle Mu replied patiently.

Although everyone seemed to be flying very well, their speed was actually not very fast. Along the way, people would ask various questions, which the two senior uncles answered patiently.

"Uncle Mu, I think I get along very well with that Qi Lun kid who came in first place this time. Uncle, you shouldn't compete with me, right?" The junior brother surnamed Wan suddenly whispered to the senior brother Mu in front of him.

“Since you and Junior Brother Wan get along so well, then I, Mu, will give it to you.” Uncle Mu did not dwell on this issue and generously chose to give it up.

This, however, made the junior apprentice surnamed Wan a little worried. Usually, when there is a good prospect, everyone is always vying for it fiercely. If it weren't for the good prospect, the two of them wouldn't be in charge of receiving these newcomers.

However, after thinking about it, I still didn't see anything wrong with it. Since the person surnamed Mu took the initiative to give up, it suited my wishes perfectly, so why not?

Before long, the white mist dissipated, and everyone's eyes lit up to see a different kind of mountain, even taller than the one Gao Cai had seen.

The two senior uncles immediately controlled everyone to land smoothly on the mountain.

The group landed on a large, flat area with many loft-style houses built on it, which appeared to be a place for accommodation.

"Just find a room here and rest. Tomorrow someone will pick you up to visit your respective inner sect masters, so there's no need to rush." ​​After saying this, the two senior brothers left without paying any more attention to them.

Watching that graceful movement disappear, many young people felt a sense of admiration, and they all fantasized that they could also achieve mastery of the skill and one day be able to ride the clouds.

Since everyone present was a stranger to each other, there was not much interaction. Most of them went straight to the attic to choose their own rooms.

"Big brother, congratulations!" Ye Feng was about to choose a room when he suddenly noticed a little boy he knew coming up to greet him.

"No way, he's nowhere near as good as you, haha." Ye Feng had a good impression of this little boy; he was someone he could befriend.

"Thanks to my brother's weapon, I was able to get here so smoothly. My name is Nan Chen. From now on, we'll all be inner disciples, so please take care of me." This little boy named Nan Chen was quite outgoing.

"Ye Feng, please take good care of me."

"Then let's go pick out rooms. We'll stay next door so we can look out for each other if anything happens," Nan Chen said.

"Alright, let's go then." Ye Feng didn't really want to stay too close to people he knew, and he especially didn't want anyone to come into his room casually, but simply refusing seemed too attention-grabbing, so he had no choice but to agree.

As for why Ye Feng didn't want to live too close to acquaintances, it was naturally because of the dungeon. If he suddenly appeared after finishing the dungeon and was discovered by someone who just walked in, that would be terrible.

Fortunately, this should only be a temporary stay. Judging from what my two senior uncles said, we will be taught by different masters, and we probably won't be living together in the future, Ye Feng thought to himself...
