The system is the proficiency panel

Looking at the other group of cultivators kneeling on the ground and trembling, Lin Ji really couldn't understand how they cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. Their average age was 100 years old. Could it be that they were all supported by their families and had never experienced any danger?

"I ask questions and you answer them until I am satisfied."

Lin Ji looked at everyone calmly, his voice was not loud but majestic enough, and the people kneeling on the ground nodded one after another to show that they were willing to answer the questions raised by Lin Ji.

"Tell me, did Luochen conspire with you?"

Pointing at Luo Chen who was covered in blood and unconscious not far away, Lin Ji selected a cultivator and asked him to answer. The man raised his head tremblingly, not daring to look directly at Lin Ji, and spoke in a low voice.

"No, no, I don't know her."

"Really? That's not a satisfactory answer to me."

A sword energy shot out from Lin Ji's fingertips. With a scream, the cultivator was instantly killed by the sword energy. Bright red blood splattered out. Then Lin Ji chose another cultivator and said lightly.

"You answer."

The chosen female cultivator was trembling with fear all over. She couldn't utter a word for a long time, and then she would never have to speak again.

Li Jinfeng looked at the two people who died one after another around him, knowing that this could not go on any longer, so he mustered up the courage to speak.

"Luochen was indeed not involved, but I know her identity."

"Oh? Her identity? Then tell me, who is she?"

Hearing this, Li Jinfeng swallowed and slowly told Lin Ji Luochen's identity. After listening, Lin Ji frowned and thought for a while, then continued to ask the other people, asking them one by one.

No matter how Lin Ji asked, these people said that Luo Chen did not participate, and their only memory of her was when they were waiting together at the competition venue. As for her identity, they did find out that she was a disciple of the Desire Realm Demon Palace. It was said that the disciples of this palace were very knowledgeable about the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. There was also a man who came with Luo Chen, but no one knew where he was.

Lin Ji, who got the answer in his mind, ended the question and thought about how to use these people to maximize the benefits.

"Hand over all the space items such as the savings ring."

Lin Ji looked at the people kneeling in front of him and spoke coldly. Hearing his words, these people trembled and put their savings rings on the ground. Lin Ji waved his hand, and the savings rings disappeared.

"During the tournament, you must obey me unconditionally. Swear on your souls. No need to sign a contract."

Lin Ji shifted his gaze to the others. They all nodded, and then followed Lin Ji's instructions and made a soul oath. Lin Ji saw these people's actions and smiled slightly.

"There are still six days left in the competition. Go collect resources from the Beast Realm. Return to Beast King Peak every three days and hand over the collected resources to me. I will let you go if I am satisfied. Don't think about using the teleportation talisman to escape. I am absolutely capable of killing you before you leave."

Lin Ji looked at everyone and threatened, then turned around and left with Luo Chen. Everyone knelt there for a long time before slowly standing up, looking at Lin Ji's receding back with a look of relief on their faces.

"I finally escaped. I really shouldn't have provoked the Outer Worlds."

One of them patted his chest, let out a long breath and said, the people around him nodded in agreement, and Li Jinfeng then spoke up to remind them.

"It's not over yet. Go collect resources. Don't even think about using the teleportation talisman to leave. We are too slow in front of a monk who has mastered the rules of space."

"We'll go right away. Right away."

After hearing Li Jinfeng's words, these people agreed and flew quickly in various directions.

……

Sword world.

Feihong Zhenxian's eyes twitched as he watched the space that Lin Ji tore open and the space movement he used afterwards.

"Even if you are at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, you can't comprehend the rules of space without this talent. How can a Foundation Establishment cultivator possess this?"

Just as Feihong Zhenxian was shocked, a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage walked to the stage, bowed, and said respectfully.

"True Immortal, this outsider is too powerful, and our plan has failed. How about I descend to the World of Ten Thousand Beasts? Although I cannot kill him with the Sword Order, it is still very easy to force him to leave with the Sword Order. This way, the competition can proceed normally."

Immortal Feihong shook his head and said.

"No, don't mention it now, go down."

Seeing that Immortal Feihong was determined, the monk who was undergoing the tribulation had no choice but to retreat. He could only pray that his descendants would be more careful and not encounter those from outer space.

Immortal Feihong turned his gaze back to the light curtain, looked at Luochen who was unconscious inside, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't let me down, Luochen, otherwise..."

……

One day later, in a secluded valley in Beast King Peak, Lin Ji sat on a huge rock and practiced with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes. A look of doubt appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.

"Was the heartbeat just now an illusion? Why did I feel like someone was thinking about me just now?"

Lin Ji was secretly alert in his heart, and then he checked his surroundings carefully, but found nothing unusual. At this time, he heard a pleasant female voice.

"Lin Ji, you've been practicing for so long, take a break and let's chat, I'm so bored!"

Luochen appeared in front of the boulder, looking at Lin Ji with a bright smile on her face. Her injuries had long since recovered, but she had been unwilling to leave Beast King Peak and often lingered in front of Lin Ji.

"If you're healed, what are you doing here instead of collecting resources?"

Lin Ji glanced at Luochen and said lightly that he did not change his attitude because of Luochen's beauty. After all, he would leave this universe soon, so there was no need to build a good relationship with her.

"I'm too weak, it's safer for me to stay with you."

While Luo Chen was speaking, he sat directly next to Lin Ji, cross-legged on the boulder, looking at Lin Ji with his beautiful eyes, still with a bright smile on his face. This smile seemed to have magical power. Lin Ji's heart beat inexplicably when he looked at this smile. He quickly turned his eyes away, thinking to himself that he was worthy of being a cultivator from the Desire Realm.

"Lin Ji, I was selected by the Heavenly Demon Palace to come to the Sword Realm from the Desire Realm to participate in the competition. What about you?"

"Kaiyang Realm, just a small place."

Lin Ji's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to care about a small place like Kaiyangjie.

"Leave me a token, and I'll come and play with you when the time comes!"

Luo Chen smiled with pure eyes, as if he just wanted to get together with Lin Ji after the competition. Hearing this, Lin Ji was silent for a moment, then took out an identity token and handed it to Luo Chen.

"Although I don't think you can find it, I'm giving you this opportunity. Now I need to practice."

Luo Chen excitedly took the token and wanted to say something, but he was pushed out of the valley by an invisible force. Then the power of the Sword Domain blocked the valley, not allowing anyone to approach. Luo Chen knew that he could not break into the Sword Domain, so he could only leave with the token.

Lin Ji, who was comparing two books in his hands, felt Luo Chen leaving, and put the books away with a chuckle. One of the books was "Special Physique" given to him by Luo Chen, and the other was "Physique Encyclopedia" got from other cultivators. The contents were similar, but the introductions about charming bodies were completely different.

"They went to such great lengths to get close to me, so they really have ulterior motives. But how did those monks manage to be so sure that Luo Chen did not participate in the ambush and that there was nothing unusual in the face of life-and-death threats? How did Luo Chen avoid the backlash of the soul contract?"

Lin Ji, who had been thinking fruitlessly, simply stopped thinking about the problem for the time being. He took out the space crystal, ready to absorb the power inside to comprehend the third force of time and space: spatial movement. If he could comprehend it successfully, this journey would be a success.

Lin Ji put his mental power into the space crystal, then closed his eyes and began to feel the power inside.

After the mental power entered the space crystallization, it immediately fell into darkness. In this darkness, Lin Ji seemed to see countless lights, which shone like countless stars. As if sensing the invasion, the countless stars began to move and rushed towards Lin Ji quickly in the darkness.

Every star that penetrated into the spiritual power would carry a little knowledge about space, and all this knowledge was understood and absorbed by Lin Ji one by one.

Half a day later, Lin Ji successfully comprehended the third force of time and space, and the stars in the space crystals disappeared. He withdrew his mental power, and the space crystals in his hands turned into powder and dissipated, but Lin Ji did not stop practicing, and began to condense the time and space realm with three forces and one.

At this time, the sky above the Sword Domain darkened, the wind was howling, lightning snakes were dancing wildly, and the sky seemed to be collapsing. The power of heavenly punishment began to brew in the sky, and the sound of thunder resounded through the world. Countless purple thunders fell and smashed onto the Sword Domain, causing the entire Sword Domain to tremble.

"Is this the calamity?"

Lin Ji's face was solemn as he looked at the power of thunder above his head, but he still did not stop the action of condensing the artistic conception of time and space. Although this thunder tribulation was fierce, the sword domain was not so easy to break, and he still had time.
