"Spit it out!" Tang Wei roared.
"Tsk tsk, rookies, don’t be so impatient. The condition is simple: survive. If you can last a month here, I’ll co back to pick you up."
"Survive for a month?"
"That’s right, beautiful lady. You just need to survive... for one month. HAHAHAHA."
With that, Moo WuZheng’s figure flickered, and he vanished.
A ghostly Body Technique and an incredibly punchable attitude.
Wang ng stretched. "So, what’s everyone’s plan?"
Tang Wei waved his hand dismissively. "Do whatever you want." With that, he turned and left without a second glance.
Liangyuan had no intention of sticking with Li Tianyi and Mingren. "See you at the Cultivation Academy in a month."
The remaining four exchanged glances. Mingren shook his head, spreading his hands helplessly. "I guess the alliance our Ancestral Masters were hoping for isn’t happening with this group."
"Isn’t it more interesting to go it alone? If we have to group up for sothing this simple, we might as well just go ho. Senior Brother, I’m heading out."
Li Tianyi left as well.
Mingren slapped his forehead. "Seems like leaving the Holy Hall has only fired everyone up even more. Well then, I’m out too. I’ll leave Junior Sister Ma in your care."
Mingren said with a suggestive wink before ambling off as well.
Once again, it was just Wang ng and Ma Tian’Er.
"I’m going too," Ma Tian’Er said.
Wang ng gave a dry cough. "Tian’Er, let’s team up."
Ma Tian’Er shook her head. "No. If I can’t even pass this most basic entrance trial, how will I handle what cos next? Wang... Senior Brother, good luck."
Ma Tian’Er left too. Wang ng didn’t understand why she was here. When he’d asked Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng had just said it was an arrangent by the Ma Family, sothing beyond his control.
In an instant, only Wang ng remained. He looked around and gave a wry laugh. ’Survival, huh?’
After Wang ng’s figure had also disappeared, the blue-robed man reappeared.
To be precise, he appeared atop the trees. He tapped his wrist, and an Array materialized.
’Let see... Oh, damn. Did I bet too much on this one?’
Just then, the Array on his wrist began to flash. Moo WuZheng tapped it, and the image of a young man appeared.
"How’s it going over there? I heard you picked so garbage Sect to try your luck with. WuZheng, you’re really going for a long shot this ti."
Moo WuZheng shrugged. "I’m just doubling down on a bad hand and hoping for the best. At least I got a good number of candidates this ti. If even one of them makes it out alive, it’ll be worth it."
"Well, good luck."
"Damn it, Ge Mang, are you just here to gloat? How are things on your end?"
"Hehe, I hit the jackpot. Got soone at the twenty-eighth layer. The success rate is extrely high."
"Tch! Son of a bitch! Why is my luck so damn awful!"
Moo WuZheng gazed into the distance and shook his head. It looked like he really would have to depend on luck this ti.
’A barrier... a massive one.’ That was Wang ng’s first impression upon entering. ’What the hell is this Star Alliance? And what’s the deal with the Cultivation Academy?’ Wang ng knew nothing, but he didn’t need to overthink it. The priority was to pass this test.
Wang ng had followed Ma Tian’Er in. ’That girl is so stubborn. I really don’t know if the Ma Family has lost its mind, sending her to a place like this.’
But Wang ng soon discovered a serious problem... he’d lost her.
Ma Tian’Er had vanished the mont she entered the barrier.
In truth, Moo WuZheng hadn’t told them that everyone would be separated upon entering, whether they were in a group or not.
This was a test of their qualifications to enter the Cultivation Academy, not a test of their teamwork.
Before he had walked for long, the temperature began to rise. Red rocks beca more common. Wang ng subconsciously reached out and touched one. It was scorching hot.
’An illusion?’
He checked with his Heart Spirit and found it was no illusion at all.
’Illusion-type Magic doesn’t work on . It looks like this Star Alliance really has so skill.’
Before the thought could even finish, a dangerous presence washed over him. His body flashed in an explosive burst of speed.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The ground was riddled with densely packed red spots, which imdiately burst into flas. Just a mont ago, sothing that looked like a rock had moved.
BOOM! The rock shattered, and a fiery-red, leopard-like Demon Beast erupted from within.
It let out a deafening roar at Wang ng, and with it ca another volley of densely packed red projectiles.
’What the hell is this thing?’
Sensing the creature’s surging Demon Power, Wang ng didn’t dare let his guard down. He instantly drew Broken Heaven Edge and executed an Instant Flash.
"KILL!"
BOOM!
Broken Heaven Edge struck the fiery-red Demon Beast’s flank, sending it staggering, its eyes practically burning with rage.
Wang ng was stunned. ’I put my full power into that strike, and it only knocked it back...?’
’Damn it, what is this thing?’
SWOOSH!
The enraged Demon Beast lunged like a bolt of red lightning, clawing for Wang ng. Wang ng retreated explosively as the creature’s claws swept past, seeming to tear the very air.
Wang ng dodged, but a searing pain erupted on his chest. Three claw marks had appeared, and they burned like fire.
’It’s poison!’
Without a mont’s hesitation, Wang ng swallowed an Antitoxic Pill that Zhou Feng had prepared for him, rage flaring in his heart.
Sword Slash!
CLANG! CLANG!
Waves of Sword Qi blasted toward the Demon Beast. Wang ng quickly realized that while the creature’s speed was incredible, its movents were entirely linear. No matter how fast it was, its trajectory was easy to predict. The Demon Beast took several of Wang ng’s Sword Slashes head-on.
If the Demon Beast was furious, Wang ng was absolutely livid. His Elental Power was pure and unadorned—a full Twenty Layers Sword Slash. Even though it wasn’t a complex Sword Formula, the Elental Power behind it was imnse, yet it couldn’t even break the creature’s skin.
Each ti a Sword Slash landed, it only sent out a shower of sparks, as if steel were striking steel.
The fiery-red Demon Beast spat and clawed, trying to tear Wang ng to pieces. Wang ng pushed his Flying Shadow Body Technique to its limits, constantly dodging. Fortunately, he could use the surrounding terrain to his advantage.
But this was just too damn frustrating. Wang ng had no intention of wasting any more ti in this godforsaken place.
With a flick of Broken Heaven Edge, he dodged the fiery-red Demon Beast’s charge, and Sword Qi erupted outwards—Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens!
The Sword Qi exploded, enveloping the Fla Demon Beast. Without any attempt to dodge, the beast charged head-first into the White Phoenix ford by the Sword Qi, completely fearless.
BOOM!
The destructive power of a Sword Formula was on a completely different level from a re Sword Slash. Blood flew, and the ground ignited wherever it splattered.
Even with the Antitoxic Pill in his system, Wang ng’s wounds still burned. It seed the pill wasn’t very effective.
A normal Sword Slash was useless. Wang ng attacked again with another Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens. This ti, the Fla Demon Beast dodged.
"Fall to the Yellow Springs!"
Wang ng roared. Elental Power erupted from the ground, enveloping the Fla Demon Beast before the earth beneath it collapsed with a thunderous crash.
Wang ng’s whole body felt feverish. He had to end this fast. Throwing caution to the wind, he blasted it with another Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens, followed by a frenzied barrage of slashes. At last, the struggling, fiery-red Demon Beast went still.
Wang ng panted for breath. ’What the hell is this thing made of? It’s tough as rock.’ He was just about to inspect his spoils...
...when the surrounding ground began to shake like an earthquake. Cracks appeared on one rock after another. When the first head poked out, Wang ng felt a massive headache coming on.
’Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, retreat is the best option!’
’Run!’
Behind Wang ng, giant rocks cracked open one by one. Fiery-red Demon Beasts of all shapes and sizes erged as if they’d just been woken up, swarming after him in a furious tide.
Wang ng felt his whole body burning up; running actually seed to help a little. He ran for his life!
