Chapter 1131: 1131

After exiting the Wanxiang Forest, Feng Tianlan went straight to the gate of the Shang Institution. Looking up, she could see the three words written in flamboyant calligraphy on top of the tall gates. Disciples were guarding the gates.

“Someone is actually coming out of the forest.” Seeing Feng Tianlan and the other two, all the disciples guarding the mountain exclaimed in surprise, looking them over from head to toe.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t there just a day left before the month is up?”

She paid close attention to the deadline when she was cultivating, so there was no way she would miss it.

“It is indeed a day away, but at this time, we will all think that most of them have given up or died inside…” A disciple guarding the mountain explained with a smile as he ordered someone to send a message.

Soon, Weng Yue came down from the mountain. He looked at the three strangers in front of him with a malicious gaze. He looked at Feng Tianlan sharply, sizing her up from head to toe, and asked in a low voice, “What’s your name?”

The young man looked familiar. He felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

“Shen Lan.” Under that sharp measuring gaze, Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and spoke indifferently.

When he met Feng Tianlan’s eyes, Weng Yue instantly understood why the man seemed so familiar. This young man’s eyes resembled that of the Demon Princess Consort!

Weng Yue felt indignant when he thought about how he, a Grand Alchemist, had lost to Feng Tianlan, who was not an alchemist of any level. He could not calm the resentment in his heart.

“Just go up the mountain.” Weng Yue glanced at Feng Tianlan with a malicious gaze and turned to lead the way.

As long as one came out of the Wanxiang Forest alive, even if they did not complete the mission, they could still become a disciple of the Shang Institution. The difference between them was only that one would be an inner disciple, while the other would be an outer disciple.

This was because the higher up the mountain they went, the stronger the spiritual force was. It was so strong that it made it difficult for them to move. On the other hand, Weng Yue seemed to be used to it and did not feel anything.

Feng Tianlan had the spiritual force of a Middle-stage Heavenly Supreme, so it was okay for her. Only Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinyi were panting as they struggled along. It looked as if they would collapse at any moment. In the end, they were practically moving up one step at a time.

An hour later, Shi Yiqing and Chen Xinyi’s feet seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms. When they took the last step with great difficulty, the strong spiritual force disappeared instantly. The two of them collapsed on the ground like fish out of water, breathing heavily.

“You’re not even affected?” Weng Yue turned to look at Feng Tianlan and found that she didn’t even break a sweat. She didn’t even gasp as she walked up this long flight of stairs.

Feng Tianlan looked up in confusion. “Why should I be affected?” It was just a flight of stairs. Although she had spiritual power, it didn’t affect her much.

“So talented. You’re already in Heavenly Supreme at such a young age. I’ll definitely take you as a disciple.” A clear loud voice echoed from above them.

Feng Tianlan looked up. A man landed in front of her. It turned out to be a bearded man looking at her with sparkling eyes. He sized her up and then tugged at his thick beard in confusion. “How strange, you’re only a Middle-stage Earth Supreme—not even Advanced-stage yet—but you can withstand this spiritual force and easily ascend the mountain?”

“What does that have to do with one’s own spiritual force?” Feng Tianlan asked in confusion. She had used the Ice Soul Sword to suppress her real spiritual force, revealing only the spiritual force of the Middle-stage Earth Supreme. It would be the same result no matter which expert tried to detect her level.

“Of course it’s related! Only those who have reached a Heavenly Supreme level will be unaffected by this staircase.” The bearded man was even more curious and puzzled about Feng Tianlan now. Moreover, this young man looked like someone he had met before. Maybe he resembled someone he knew.
