A dagger was tucked diagonally into her belt, suggesting she was an assassin.

Seeing Jiang Wuyuan cast her gaze, she seemed to raise her head and glance at Jiang Wuyuan and the other three, before turning her head away as if nothing had happened.

Huo Ling leaned closer to Jiang Wuyuan and said, "Ice cube, there seems to be nothing in this hall."

"Hmm," Jiang Wuyuan replied, "No rush."

Jiang Wuyuan guessed that it might be because not everyone had arrived.

It seems that a certain number of people holding tokens must enter the palace before the next step of the process can proceed.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while," Yang Feiying said with a smile.

I haven't had much rest these past few days, so now I can finally relax a little.

At least no one here will try to take the tokens from them.

"You guys rest, I'll keep watch." Jiang Wuyuan followed them to an empty corner and sat down.

In such an environment, he simply could not let his guard down.

Fu Xuelai was a little embarrassed: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Jiang? How about I keep an eye on it too?"

Jiang Wuyuan shook his head and refused: "No need. I can nourish my spirit while I cultivate, so I don't feel tired. You should make the most of your rest time."

After all, they had no idea what challenges lay ahead, so conserving their energy was extremely important.

Huo Ling disliked making small talk; he simply took out a few bottles of medicine and placed them in Jiang Wuyuan's hand: "Ice cubes, take these. You might need them later."

Stamina potions are extremely precious, and Jiang Wuyuan naturally understood Huo Ling's intentions.

He accepted it as instructed and urged the others to rest quickly.

——

About an hour or two later, new people appeared in the main hall.

The people who came this time still looked familiar to Jiang Wuyuan.

Isn't that the high school student who tried to steal the token from that kid who likes to steal things last time?

His name seems to be Xiao Cheng.

Huo Ling woke up when the person suddenly appeared.

He looked at Xiao Cheng looking around with some surprise: "Isn't this the young master of the Xiao family in Fufeng City next door? I didn't expect him to come too."

Jiang Wuyuan had some knowledge of the secret realm, so he found it quite normal to hear that the young man came from Fufeng City: "After all, the secret realm is located between Fufeng City and Shanhai City, so it would be difficult for the people of Fufeng City not to discover it."

“You’re right,” Huo Ling nodded. “This guy is quite something. Not only is his health high, but his marksmanship is also exceptional.”

Jiang Wuyuan had never seen Xiao Cheng make a move, so he remained noncommittal.

Xiao Cheng, however, noticed Jiang Wuyuan's presence and frowned with a serious expression.

This guy was indeed there, and he even had a team, which was very disadvantageous for him.

Turning around, he saw Qiu Shaoqing again and was speechless.

Thieves are everywhere!

After a period of 'peaceful' interaction, the last two people entered.

Judging from their attire, they should be members of the Adventurers' Guild, as they are wearing Explorer's Badges on their clothes.

They had rather serious injuries, but they had already been treated and it seemed that it wouldn't affect their subsequent activities.

The first test is about to begin.

After everyone had arrived, the mysterious voice finally rang out again.

Huo Ling muttered to himself, "This is ridiculous. What if we can't collect ten tokens in the end? Then we'll just never open it?"

Jiang Wuyuan replied calmly, "There should be other measures."

Huo Ling shrugged dismissively.

[The first challenge – getting lost. Find the right path across the icy plains.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten people vanished into thin air from inside the hall.

Jiang Wuyuan felt a flash of light before his eyes, and he found himself on an ice field just like before.

There was no one around.

"Huo Ling." He looked around, and after calling Huo Ling's name but receiving no response, he guessed that they were probably testing everyone separately.

After taking a few steps forward, Jiang Wuyuan gradually felt that something was wrong.

All of his skills are unusable.

And he began to feel the cold around him.

The Tier 2 combat suit is also ineffective?

Jiang Wuyuan looked up at the boundless white ice field, and the surprise in his eyes was gradually replaced by calm.

In any case, we must get through this hurdle first.

Jiang Wuyuan began to slowly walk across the icy plain.

There were no hints, no direction, and no goal.

I could already feel the cold, and my body was getting numb.

Although Jiang Wuyuan usually pays great attention to exercising, now that he has suddenly turned back into an ordinary person and lost his vital energy, walking in the snow has become extremely difficult.

Gradually, he could no longer lift his legs, and his body became stiff from the cold wind.

But Jiang Wuyuan's face remained expressionless.

In the end, he was so cold that he curled up on the ground, but he kept crawling forward.

It is unknown how much time passed; perhaps so long that he had frozen to death in the icy wilderness.

The temperature around us suddenly rose.

Jiang Wuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and moved his limbs.

The feeling of freezing to death is indeed awful. Jiang Wuyuan frowned as he thought to himself.

If the memory hadn't been so vivid, Jiang Wuyuan would have thought he was dreaming.

Congratulations to all the brave warriors who have passed the first test of 'perseverance'!

Jiang Wuyuan scanned the entire hall.

Yes, after passing the first test, he returned to the main hall.

Yang Feiying was not seen; she had probably already been teleported away.

Apart from Yang Feiying, everyone else successfully passed the first test.

After exchanging a glance with Huo Ling and Fu Xuelai, Jiang Wuyuan looked away.
