"Don't worry about this. Someone will give you a beast-chasing talisman in a while. If you encounter danger, just crush the talisman and return the same way you came." Duan Tianya said.
The Zhengying Academy's trials are held every four years. If a large number of young swordsmen were killed or injured every time, probably no one would participate.
After saying that, Duan Tianya took out four exquisitely crafted small swords, which were obviously made by alchemy at first glance. He placed them in front, behind, left and right, and made several hand gestures in succession.
The four exquisite swords shone with red, orange, yellow, and green light, gradually condensing. The surroundings suddenly changed. Although it was the morning sun, a few stars twinkled in the sky.
Everyone only felt a flash of light in front of their eyes, and several bright rays of light pierced down from the sky, like lightning in the dark night, forcing people to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, the stars had disappeared, and the sky returned to its previous clear and cloudless state, and a circular arch formed by four-color light beams appeared in front of Duan Tianya.
Through the archway, a somewhat desolate valley loomed, and even the deafening roars of beasts could be heard. Clearly, this was the site of this trial—the Valley of Strange Beasts.
"Alright, you will all enter the valley for the trial. You can go individually or in teams, but each team must not exceed ten people," Duan Tianya said wearily. It was clear that despite the aid of alchemical artifacts and even the power of heaven and earth, opening the portal had drained Duan Tianya's energy considerably.
The people ahead filed into the portal one by one, and after a private discussion, most chose to travel together. One more person meant more strength. Although Duan Tianya said the Exotic Beast Valley wasn't too dangerous, no one wanted to give up the trial so easily and miss out on the great opportunity to join Zhengying Academy.
"Mu Hanyan, this time you don't have the support of your father, the city lord. I want to see if you can still be so lucky." Mu Feng's sarcastic voice came from behind.
Mu Hanyan turned her head and saw Mu Feng's sour face, as if the whole world owed him money.
"Hmph, a shameless man who relies on his father's power to benefit himself. Why should we care about him?" Qu Fengting, who was traveling with him, snorted coldly.
"A loser is always a loser. Don't think you can be proud of yourself after taking a Vein-Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill. You don't even look at your own character. You dare to come to the Valley of Exotic Beasts. You are simply courting death." A young swordsman at the back spat lightly and said disdainfully.
Mu Hanyan then realized that, in addition to the few followers and Mu Feng who had accompanied him yesterday, Qu Fenghai had several more young swordsmen following him. These men varied in age and attire, but they all had one thing in common: they looked down upon everyone and never even glanced at them.
However, it seems that their strength is obviously higher than that of other young people around them. Judging from the level of this trial alone, they are all elites among the elites.
It seems that after leaving the restaurant yesterday, Qu Fengting recruited a few more good players.
What exactly is this guy looking for in the Valley of Strange Beasts?
Thinking of Mu Feng’s tragic experience in his previous life, Mu Hanyan became even more curious.
Mu Hanyan completely ignored the sarcasm of these people. If she had to care about anyone's words, as the most dissolute playboy in Black Stone City, she would be exhausted.
Mu Cheng's face didn't look very good, and he secretly muttered in his heart that these people were really annoying.
