I think my luck is turning around.

They realized they were facing not just a simple island, but an ancient demon god. Looking at the ocean, at the boundless ocean, they hesitated to take another step.

Fear is instinctive, but at this moment, Ji Xia seemed to disregard everything and kept walking forward. Everyone was puzzled by Ji Xia's actions, but just before reaching the barrier, Ji Xia stopped. Although the ocean ahead seemed endless, he noticed that the water in the distance was churning!

Ji Xia's actions attracted a lot of attention. Looking in the direction he was looking, an island appeared—it hadn't been there before! Now it was there.

"That island wasn't there before! How did it suddenly appear?!"

After that voice fell, the atmosphere of panic intensified.

Ange remained standing there. It seemed that the trick to this first challenge was to lure these people into the ocean, which was actually a comfort zone for Nangge Island!

"Do we still want to go to the island?"

One of them asked timidly, but they were all carefully selected people, how could they possibly back down? An Ge didn't say anything, she just walked to Ji Xia's side, she wanted to see a new world.

Seeing that they had no choice, the others remained silent. The seemingly calm sea, at this moment, seemed to come alive, churning and churning incessantly. It looked as if it might burst through the sky at any moment, but this restless sea ultimately made them hesitate.

Ange squinted. She saw the island approaching, which wasn't surprising. Here, even if a Godzilla appeared, Ange wouldn't be surprised.

Just as everyone was panicking, Ji Xia shouted, and everyone fell silent, staring at him, wondering what he was going to say.

"What's the panic! Everyone get ready! We're about to land on the island!"

Ji Xia's eyes were filled with excitement; he eagerly awaited the destruction of everything on Nangge Island! Not far away, Nangge Island stopped, ceasing its advance. While everyone was still wondering, An Ge signaled Lin Jingqing to retract the barrier, and then Ji Xixi leaped forward and ran off.

Then the others followed suit and ran out. It seemed that as long as they swam across, they could begin their journey into the thorny jungle. Ji Xixi was the first to jump into the water. She was only human, and all she could do was rely on her own strength.

Lin Jingqing could then take to the air. He had originally grabbed An Ge's hand, intending to bring her along. However, Ji Xia grabbed Lin Jingqing instead.

Lin Jingqing didn't understand Ji Xia's meaning, but she still stood there watching the scene of people being thrown into a pot like dumplings.

"I don't want to go into the water, but you'll take me with you."

Lin Jingqing was very confused by Ji Xia's words. What kind of behavior was this? Was he afraid of water? Was it hydrophobia? This was An Ge's first thought. She had already started to imagine what had happened to Ji Xia. At this moment, Ji Xia said, "I'm not afraid of water, I just don't want to get my clothes wet."

Ji Xia looked directly at An Ge and spoke. He knew An Ge's doubts. He had indeed suffocated in the water before, but that was history and there was no need to talk about it again.

Lin Jingqing obediently grabbed An Ge's waist and pulled her into his arms. Ji Xia, on the other hand, grabbed her arm and, in a flash, they were on the shore of Nangge Island. The shore here was no different from the beach they had just crossed; it wasn't far, and many people had already come ashore.

Only three people were dry; the rest were either using their internal energy to dry their clothes or simply taking off some outer garments and letting them dry quickly in the sun. Ji Xixi, however, didn't care and simply glared resentfully at Ji Xia.

"We are now on the outermost edge of Nangka Island! Remember! You must leave within fifteen days of entering. Remember what you promised."

As Ji Xia finished speaking, the rest of the group went inside, fearless in the face of the intricate thicket of thorns. The remaining six—Zhan Yu, An Ge, Lin Jingqing, Ji Xia, Ji Xixi, and Zhan Shi—had not yet entered.

How are you feeling?

Zhan Yu didn't speak to Zhan Shi directly, but the implication was clear. Zhan Shi didn't reply, but simply went inside. Zhan Yu received no answer; her master must also be conflicted, but since they were already here, there was no need to worry about it anymore!

Zhan Yu went inside as well, while Ji Xia and Ji Xixi were still sunbathing, completely unconcerned about the progress here. An Ge also wanted to go in directly, but Lin Jingqing grabbed her and tore off a strip of cloth.

An Ge didn't understand Lin Jingqing's behavior, but Lin Jingqing grabbed An Ge's hand directly. Was he going to tie their hands together? An Ge was so frightened that she quickly pulled her hand away.

What are you doing?

"I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I have to tie this on. I need to ensure your safety."

An Ge naturally refused, but the two people watching the show only exchanged a glance before launching into a passionate performance in a sarcastic tone.

"Come on, Xixi, let's tie your hands too, I'm afraid you'll get lost."

In that disgusting tone, Ji Xixi immediately replied, "Okay, Brother Xia, let's go in!"

An Ge looked at the two men speechlessly, but her hands were already tied and she couldn't break free. An Ge looked helplessly at Lin Jingqing, but Lin Jingqing showed no sign of letting go.

Both groups entered the thorny jungle one after the other, but they met again at the next random checkpoint shortly after. This was the same situation as when Ji Xia first came; Ji Xia didn't find it strange, and neither did the others. Now there were only the four of them, so they proceeded directly to the next checkpoint.

"I don't think this is difficult at all."

Ji Xixi muttered from behind, "Now the four of them are going straight onto the log bridge. For Ji Xia, it's the same as last time, nothing's changed." They simply strolled across the log bridge and entered Nangge Island!

Everything was going too smoothly! So smoothly that I started to wonder if I was dreaming, if there was a cycle at play? But they did indeed enter.

Ji Xia looked around and saw that nothing had changed much, but why were there only four of them? Where were the others? Ji Xia turned around and looked, but no one else had entered.

The spiritual energy in the first two levels was indeed abundant, but there was still a considerable amount here. Lin Jingqing could already feel his cultivation level improving due to the environment. What a strange feeling!

Of the others, only Ji Xixi felt that her strength was recovering quickly; An Ge and Ji Xia did not feel anything at all.

"Although the spiritual energy here isn't as dense as in the previous two levels, it's still plentiful. I even feel my cultivation level has improved!"

After Lin Jingqing finished speaking, Ji Xixi chimed in, "Yes, my strength has recovered very quickly too!"

An Ge and Ji Xia fell silent. Perhaps An Ge had already guessed that she and Ji Xia, who came from different worlds, were not affected by the spiritual energy here.

An Ge raised her bound hands, intending to untie them. Lin Jingqing grabbed An Ge's other hand, gazing at her tenderly.
