A man with an afro emerged from the swirling dust around him.
The originally white brocade robe has turned yellowish-brown.
His gray hair was frizzy and tattered.
His face was patchy white and black, looking exactly like someone who had crawled out from under the stove.
It was vaguely discernible that it was the dean himself.
The dean was very angry.
But because of his position, he couldn't swear.
He grabbed Shang Yanting, frowned as he looked him over, then took to the air, preparing to throw this unfortunate disciple down the mountain.
"Dean, we're here too!"
"Teacher, we're here!"
"Dean, help!"
A series of excited shouts rang out; it was from the senior brother and his group who had been separated from Shang Yanting.
Shang Yanting fell to the bottom, while they were on the upper level.
The voices of the eldest and second eldest disciples rang out, and they waved excitedly at the dean who was flying up. They became even more excited when they saw Shang Yanting next to the dean.
The four peak masters descended upon hearing the sound.
All the missing disciples have been found!
"Junior brother!"
"Senior brother!"
"Teacher Wang!"
Everyone was very excited, and the area down the mountain became a large-scale family reunion scene.
A deafening roar of tectonic activity filled the air as the academy's secret realm, used for hundreds of years, sank completely underground. The rumbling echoed for dozens of meters around, and the scene of the ground sinking was awe-inspiring.
Will there be another Four Peaks Competition in the future?
Does this year's Four Peaks Competition still count?
There was a hint of confusion in everyone's eyes.
"This year is the last time for the Secret Realm Grand Competition, and the selection will still be conducted according to the original rules."
With his hands behind his back, the dean's spiky hairstyle couldn't diminish his authority. "Disciples of the four peaks, produce the trial tokens you found."
Most of the disciples of Shengyang Peak were trapped, and they only managed to obtain one.
The disciples of Tianwu Peak found two.
Jin Yangfeng was probably the luckiest; just as they were about to head there, the turmoil occurred, and they found three of them on the outskirts.
Only Qing Shuang Peak remains.
As everyone knows, Qing Shuang Peak is the weakest every year, and most of their disciples were trapped in the secret realm and almost lost their lives.
The eleventh brother took out a trial talisman from his pocket.
Given how dangerous this was, it's already quite good that I didn't get zero points.
It's obvious who the champion is at a glance.
"Then the first place this time belongs to Jin..."
"etc."
Just as the dean was about to announce the results, Shang Yanting interrupted him and then, under everyone's gaze, took out one, two, and three trial tokens.
Qing Shuang Peak actually has four trial tokens!
Even the peak master of Qing Shuang Peak couldn't help but open his mouth into an "O" shape.
The dean looked at the disciple before him and stroked his wildly curled beard. "I remember you're a new disciple this year?"
"yes."
Shang Yanting nodded slightly, his composed and dignified demeanor prompting the dean to nod in approval.
"Zhenfeng, you've taken on a good disciple."
##
Everything finally came to an end, and Shang Yanting suffered heavy losses in this trial battle.
He had only one of the many talismans he had accumulated, and his Golden Sword was broken. In exchange, he only obtained a manual on puppetry and, after absorbing some mysterious soul power, his cultivation level increased to the mid-stage of the Martial Realm.
Nowadays, most of his talismans were given to him by Jia Xitong: two Sumeru Talismans, two Zhuyou Talismans, two Explosion Talismans, and ten Lightning Talismans.
Weapons: One set of gleaming gold armor, one set of fine steel armor, and one fine steel longsword.
The cultivation techniques are: "Cultivation Source Technique" and "Heavenly Fiend Puppet Technique".
Warcraft: Giant Rock Rhino
They also owe a huge sum of money for 650 talismans.
Jia Xitong was also organizing her own things.
Compared to Shang Yanting, although she had used up all her explosive talismans, she reaped a considerable reward. Just the Golden Dragon Scale, a low-grade magic artifact, was enough to make her incredibly wealthy.
In addition, there are 16 incantation talismans, 6 solidification talismans, 8 Sulfur-drawing talismans, 32 lightning-attracting talismans, plus a heavy coffin and a large spoonful of glowing phosphorescent soil.
If you forget about the 9,722 talismans from the Defective System, she's actually quite wealthy.
Back at Qing Shuang Peak, Jia Xitong was in a good mood, humming a little tune as she tidied her things.
First is phosphate soil.
She found a pot and put it in. From the secret realm to Azure Frost Peak, it was still glowing when placed in the pot. She tried putting a few vegetable seeds in it, but after the seeds spontaneously combusted for the third time, she gave up the idea of growing anything.
Secondly, there is the stone coffin.
The stone coffin, which had been there for thousands of years, was covered with a thick layer of ash.
Jia Xitong originally wanted to clean it, but the ash on the coffin was thicker than her eleventh senior brother's skin. After being refused Shang Yanting's request to help clean it, she had no choice but to move the stone coffin outside the room.
The stone coffin was deep and had a large volume, making it a perfect feeding trough.
As soon as the fodder was filled, the giant rhinoceros and Little Gray immediately surrounded it and ate quickly and heartily.
Absolutely perfect!

"Junior brother, junior brother!"
The second senior brother ran over to call them.
The reward for first place in the Four Peaks Grand Competition has been delivered!
For Peak, who have always been at the bottom, this is the first time they have received the first place reward!
Although everyone was very curious, given that two of the four trial tokens were obtained by Shang Yanting while braving lava, and one was picked up by the raccoon, everyone resisted the urge to open the prize box and waited for Shang Yanting.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the box was opened, revealing two luminous white stones inside.
"It's actually a spirit stone!"
The eldest brother immediately cried out.
Spirit stones, as the name suggests, are crystals that contain spiritual energy.
This is a training resource used only at the Martial Master level. It is rare and precious, and in the martial arts world, it is said that one or two spirit stones are worth ten taels of gold.
The academy is really generous; they actually gave us two spirit stones the size of fists!
