Lord of the Star Ocean

Early in the morning, before the sun came out, Haoyuan City was shrouded in thick fog.

The main city on this wild planet is close to the big river swamp, so the city is quite humid, and fog is very common, especially at night when it is often filled with fog.

At this time, the star towers became lighthouses, and the light emitted from the tops of the towers pierced the fog to illuminate the land with a radius of hundreds of miles, protecting millions of human races.

In Linhu Inn, under the service of Nie Chen and Nie Xi, Nie Feng put on a full set of standard battle armor. He wore a cutting knife on his side, a bow on his shoulder, and a bag and quiver on his back. He looked no different from a hunter in the army.

"Master..."

Nie Xi asked timidly, "When are you coming back?"

After following Nie Feng for a few days, this thin girl who looked like a quail was finally not so timid and dared to say a few words to Nie Feng.

She had been abused by her relatives for a long time, and she was very fragile physically and mentally. She also had a strong sense of dependence on Nie Feng who kindly helped her, just like a kitten or puppy.

Nie Feng patted her head and said, "At most half a month, I will definitely come back."

This time, the Martial Pavilion's Fire Department was in the Hidden Fog Swamp for the trial assessment. The time limit was ten days, and Nie Feng counted the back and forth.

"So long?"

The little girl was very disappointed, because whenever Nie Feng was by her side, she felt very safe.

Nie Feng smiled and said to Nie Chen: "You take good care of my sister here, and then do the things I told you well. I hope that after I come back, I can live in the new home."

Before preparing to take the assessment, Nie Feng gave Nie Chen a sum of money to rent a house near Haoyuan Martial Pavilion for future settlement.

After all, the Linhu Hotel is only a temporary place to stay, it is impossible to live for a long time, and the room rate is also very expensive.

Haoyuan City is very large, of course there are a lot of houses, but good houses are always in high demand, where Nie Feng has time to run around looking for houses, throwing it to Nie Chen is naturally the best choice.

Nie Chen slapped his skinny chest loudly, and said, "Don't worry, young master, the little one will do well, and you will have a new house to live in when you come back!"

Nie Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, the key is to be suitable, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, right..."

He solemnly reminded the other party: "Pay attention to safety, don't let others stare at you."

Nie Feng gave Nie Chen a lot of money. Once a young boy like him is exposed to a huge sum of money, he will easily attract others' covetousness. His small body will definitely not be able to resist it.

Nie Chen nodded vigorously: "I know, I hid all the money, and no one else can find it."

He has been on the streets since he was a child, and he has long understood the truth of keeping money secret, so he knows what Nie Feng is worried about.

Nie Feng put it down anyway. Although this Nie Chen is young, he is quite mature. If he spends a little time cultivating it, he may be able to become a right-hand man in the future.

He thought for a while and said, "When I come back this time, I will officially pass on your martial arts skills."

Nie Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Nie Feng three times in a row.

"Thank you, master!"

Practicing martial arts and becoming a star martial artist has always been his dream, and now it is about to come true.

"You are not allowed to kneel again!"

Nie Feng stretched out his hand to help him up, and said in a deep voice: "If you kneel and worship indiscriminately, I will kick you out of the house. If you want to become a real warrior, you must have your own dignity and integrity!"

Nie Feng's martial arts, the way of practicing dignified and upright, those who are weak and humble cannot learn.

Nie Feng didn't want Nie Chen to be such a person, so he was not allowed to bow down easily.

Nie Chen nodded with a vague understanding.

Nie Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'm leaving, take care of yourselves."

After finishing speaking, Nie Feng left Linhu Inn and rushed to Haotian Martial Pavilion.

The two children sent him all the way to the intersection.

To them, Nie Feng was their sky, if the sky fell, then everything would be over.

So both Nie Chen and Nie Xi silently prayed to the Star God in their hearts.

I pray that Nie Feng will pass the examination smoothly and return safely!

...

Nie Feng joined the team led by Peng Yi in front of the gate of Haoyuan Martial Arts Pavilion.

Peng Yi didn't brag at all. In just one or two days, he pulled up a decent team among the fire department's assessment students. The eight members except him were all sergeants, and all of them were tough and elite.

Because this assessment task is very dangerous, Wuge does not restrict the assessment students to form a team to complete any tasks, otherwise they will fight on their own in the perilous swamp, and I really don't know how many people will die.

However, the composition of the team is also very particular. It is not that the more people, the better. Peng Yi's team, including Nie Feng, just formed a ten-member team.

The ten-person team can form the "three halberds", "five evil spirits" and "ten directions" battle formations respectively. They are flexible and powerful, and are most suitable for fighting in complex environments.

The only problem with this team is that Nie Feng is not a warrior in the army, so he doesn't understand the three battle formations of the ten-man team, and there are problems in coordinating.

So apart from Peng Yi's brothers, the other new members of the team were skeptical about Nie Feng's joining. Although they didn't object explicitly, their eyes showed suspicion.

The samurai in the army trust their comrades the most, and outsiders are far behind.

Regarding this, Peng Yi deliberately explained to these sergeants: "Brother Nie Feng is the champion of the Nanyuan City Xingtai Martial Arts Trial, and he once helped the caravan wipe out the demon wolf bandits. You don't need to doubt his strength, he is definitely very strong!"

"And Brother Nie Feng was personally recommended by the garrison of Nanyuan City. He will also serve in the Imperial Army in the future, so he is also our colleague."

"As for the battle formation, we can practice together on the road!"

Peng Yi's prestige is undoubtedly very high. His words successfully dispelled the doubts of others, and also made the team more united and cohesive.

Just after the hour, all the people who participated in the assessment of the Ministry of Fire gathered.

More than 400 young star warriors boarded the carriages provided by Wuge one by one, formed a convoy and drove out of Haoyuan City to the Jiangan Wharf outside the city.

After getting off the car at the pier, everyone boarded the five Qingmeng warships that had been waiting there, and went down the river into the Great Swamp, heading towards the Hidden Misty Swamp.

If all goes well, they will arrive in the Misty Marsh by noon tomorrow.

But it is foreseeable that this waterway is not a safe and smooth road, and no one can predict what dangers will be encountered on the way!
