Following Huanhai into the inner hall, there was a large room filled with all kinds of video games. This was where Huanhai was testing. If you hadn't read the comics, no matter how smart you were, you wouldn't have guessed that these video games were devices to test the spiritual power of psychics.
Huanhai walked to an electric boxing strength tester and said, "Try to punch with your maximum strength. 120 points is a pass. If you score less than 120 points, get out of here."
Meng Xiang knew the rules of the game. Yusuke had scored 152 points, but Kuwahara barely qualified. He stretched his muscles with great interest, put on his boxing gloves, and concentrated his energy. "Bang!" His fist hit the test bag heavily.
"Ding ding ding!" The score on the screen was moving, but to everyone's surprise, the score was frozen at 10.
Huanhai covered her mouth and laughed, almost crying. She was disrespectful to the elderly. Meng Xiang scratched his head. He had concentrated all his strength and spiritual energy in that punch just now, so why was his score so low
"Compared to ordinary people, your power is very strong, but as a psychic, you better get out of here and don't waste my time." Huan Hai finished laughing and said something that hit Meng Xiang's self-esteem. He was not convinced and immediately pleaded, "Master, can you give me another chance? One last time."
"Okay, for the last time." Huan Hai put his hands on his hips and then said, "You have a good physique and a basic understanding of the Spiritual Light Wave Fist, but your spiritual power and physical strength are not coordinated. Your physical strength and the power of your fists cannot be combined into one, which means that you can't use spiritual strike force at all. If you have really learned the Spiritual Light Wave Fist for more than 10 years but are only at this level, I suggest you go back home and be an ordinary person."
Meng Xiang was not convinced, his eyes were blank. He not only unlocked his potential lock, but also used the King-ken just in case. Even if his strength increased by only 5%, he would try desperately. He couldn't let his training plan end in vain.
Huanhai exclaimed, surprised by Meng Xiang's change. Meng Xiang used all his strength and punched the test bag.
"Ding, ding, ding!" The score on the screen moved, and Meng Xiang's heart was beating fast. Fortunately, his score finally stopped at 125.
"What did you do just now? Your strength and spiritual energy increased at the same time, but this is still secondary. How could your momentum change so drastically?"
Meng Xiang naturally knew that the change in momentum that Huan Hai was referring to was his potential lock. After opening the potential lock, his body instinctively manipulated the spiritual energy, and the **'s fist force and the power of the spiritual energy were combined into one, barely reaching 125 points. He was ashamed and said awkwardly: "This is a physique inherited from my family. Simply put, it can make me enter a crazy state, but there is a time limit."
"Shut up, your story is so bad. If you don't want to tell it, forget it, but I can see your potential from it. The spiritual power and physical strength in your body cannot be coordinated because you lack training. As long as you master the trick, even without using the state just now, you can also punch more than 120 points."
Meng Xiang was overjoyed. Huanhai meant that he agreed. He didn't know the etiquette and was just hesitating about what to do next when Huanhai walked out of the room. He turned around and said fiercely, "Don't be happy yet. You passed the spiritual power test, but what about your courage? What about your luck? Come on, hell is waiting for you."
The Demonic Forest is located 3 kilometers east of the Sea Fantasy Temple. There is a seal at the entrance of the forest, but it cannot stop the terrifying aura emanating from the entire forest.
Meng Xiang naturally knew that this terrifying aura was demonic energy. The human body produces spiritual energy, and the monster's body produces demonic energy. The two are merely manifestations of the powerful vitality of the two races, and there is no distinction between righteousness and evil.
"This area is called the Demonic Forest. It is an undeveloped area where even compasses will fail. There are dangerous creatures, natural traps, and of course demons. Ordinary humans who enter will never come out safely." Huan Hai seemed to be exaggerating, but Meng Xiang had read the comics and knew that what she said was true. The Demonic Forest hides huge dangers. Anyone with a slightly stronger sixth sense can fully feel the horror of this forest. Although the entrance to the forest is sealed, no one would dare to enter even if there was no warning. This forest is off limits to strangers.
"If you can cross the forest and reach the towering tree in front within two hours, you will have passed. However, if I don't see you after two hours, I will go back to the temple first. If you are still alive, go home quickly and don't bother me." The implication is that as long as Meng Xiang steps into the demonic forest, Huanhai will no longer care about his life or death.
Huanhai was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Since you are a newbie, I will give you some tips. You are not good at inspiration and cannot avoid dangerous roads, so going in a straight line is your shortcut."
"Yes!" Meng Xiang thanked gratefully. In fact, he had already had this plan.
Huan Hai put his hands behind his back and took small steps. After a few "whoosh" sounds, he disappeared in front of him. Meng Xiang took out Gan Jiang from his space bag and muttered, "If I go straight through the forest, I will encounter the bat demon that was beaten by Yusuke, but it is better than running around in the forest. If I exceed the time limit, all my hopes will be gone." He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and strode into the demonic forest.
The demonic forest was filled with a foul smell, and there were all kinds of strange plants growing in it. Meng Xiang didn't care about that, and cut down everything that blocked his way. The sharp blade in his hand was so sharp that he cut through the tree trunks like cutting tofu. The branches fell down with a "rustling" sound, mixed with the sound of "hissing" snakes or various animals.
The road became more and more difficult, as if forcing people to go straight. Meng Xiang was walking when he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing on his head, and then his eyes went dark. He was wrapped in something soft and cottony, like a big cloth bag.
"What a piece of crap." Meng Xiang cursed. Gan Jiang cut along his body and the light reappeared. He hurried to the side and saw that what was originally wrapped around him was a giant pitcher plant, but the huge pitcher had been cut open by Gan Jiang, and a fragrance seeped out of it.
Nepenthes feed on humans, which shows how terrifying the evil forest is. Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and became more careful, taking every step carefully.
After walking for more than an hour, the towering tree in the distance was getting closer and closer. In fact, this magic forest is not very big. The distance from the entrance to the towering tree is less than 3 kilometers, but there are many dangers along the way. The road is rugged, sometimes full of potholes, sometimes shallow water, and sometimes covered with long grass. It is very difficult to walk.
He entered a small swamp, where not only crocodiles lived, but his feet were also stuck in the mud, and he had to muster up all his strength to pull his feet out of the mud. Even though Meng Xiang was physically strong, he was exhausted and panting, and covered in dirt. After he walked out of the swamp, he had to find a tree trunk to sit down. The Gan Jiang was covered with all kinds of mucus, in addition to the flower sap of the pitcher plant, there was also crocodile blood, snake blood, etc. Anyway, all the obstacles along the way were overcome by the Gan Jiang in his hand. Meng Xiang regretted not putting some dry food in the space bag, and the backpack with compressed biscuits was too heavy for him to put in gold, so he only took out the pistol for self-defense, and threw the rest at the entrance of the forest.
After a short rest, he was about to continue on his way when suddenly a strong wind came. Before Meng Xiang could react, warm blood was dripping down his cheek. "Haha, the blood smells so good. I want to have a good meal."
The sound of flapping wings came from above. Meng Xiang knew without raising his head that the monster attacking him was a bat monster. This bat monster was just a minor character in Yu Yu Hakusho. It had no fighting power except for its fast flying speed. It flew around Meng Xiang. He felt annoyed when he heard the flapping sound of its fleshy wings. His right fist glowed white. He said coldly, "It smells really good. Come here if you want to eat it, if you have the guts."
As the potential lock was opened, the bat demon's flying speed seemed to slow down, and he could even clearly see the bat demon's wings flapping quickly while flying. Dozens of scattered spiritual energy shot out from Meng Xiang's right fist, blocking all the bat demon's escape routes like rain. The bat demon was still intoxicated in the fantasy of sucking Meng Xiang's fresh fragrant blood, and never thought that the young man in front of him, covered in mud, actually had such a unique skill.
Now, even if Meng Xiang opened the potential lock and released the shotgun aura, the striking force was not as strong as that of an ordinary person's fist. However, the bat monster's high speed was all due to its pair of fleshy wings. After being hit by the shotgun aura, it lost its balance and fell to the ground with its mouth full of mud. Meng Xiang ran forward, pressed the blade of Gan Jiang against the bat monster's round face and said, "I told you, you can't eat. I'm hungry too, so why not grill some bat skewers and try it." Meng Xiang opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and licked his lips, revealing a hungry face.
"No, no, please don't eat me. I know I'm wrong. Or I'll find you some honey, which is more delicious than my meat."
Meng Xiang found it funny to see the bat demon panicking. Not to mention that he didn't eat disgusting animals like bats, even if he did, he didn't have time to slowly roast them. Moreover, he knew that the bat demon was a monster living in the Demonic Forest. The last time it was caught by Yusuke, he was only given a slight lesson before being released. It shouldn't be an evil demon. Meng Xiang took the opportunity to say, "Okay, you go find honey, I'll wait for you here."
The bat demon was overjoyed. His wings were injured and he could not fly, so he flapped his wings, folded them on his back, and then limped into the grass.
Meng Xiang didn't think the bat demon was really going to help him find honey, he just made an excuse to let it go. He rested for a while and was about to get back on the road when he suddenly heard a loud "whoosh whoosh" noise coming from the air, followed by a hurricane that blew the branches left and right.
"Dad, that's right there. That's the man who just said he would roast me and let me eat it."
Meng Xiang looked up and saw a huge monster nearly 10 meters long floating in the air above the forest. The monster looked no different from a bat monster, and every time the wings on its back flapped, the branches and leaves of the forest were almost broken.
"Damn, did you call for help?" Meng Xiang regretted releasing the bat monster. To put it another way, even if he really released the bat monster, he should have set off immediately instead of sitting there stupidly and resting.
Whether it is a monster or a human, it is common sense to seek help after losing a fight.
Meng Xiang didn't even turn his head, and ran towards the towering tree with all his strength. He waved the Gan Jiang in his hand wildly, causing branches to fall along the way, and he forced his way out of a small path in the dense forest.
The huge monster above the forest was blocked by the dense branches and leaves and could not land easily. How could Meng Xiang dare to provoke such a monster? He even unlocked his potential and ran as fast as he could at a speed that broke the world record for sprinting.
"Hoo, hoo..." Meng Xiang stretched out his arms and legs and lay down under the towering tree, desperately trying to absorb oxygen. He had unlocked his potential too much and ran so fast that he didn't even realize that he had overdrawn his physical strength. His clothes had been torn by the hooks while he was running, and his flesh was covered with scars from the tree trunks or thorns. In the blur, he only saw the behemoth in the sky gradually approaching, and then a rough voice said, "So it was you who was training the disciples. Why didn't you notify me earlier? But this kid has good potential. He ran all the way and killed a few poisonous creatures on the way." Then he heard Huanhai say coldly, "That depends on whether he can endure hardship. Bat Dad, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Meng Xiang felt dizzy and finally collapsed and fainted.
