Yun Jing and the other four men's expressions tightened slightly. They reflexively drew their weapons and huddled together back to back, facing outwards.
By the way, it's because Yun Jing is too short.
So, while others lean on each other's backs, he can only barely lean on their butts...
The scene in the second level is very different from that in the first level.
Looking around, there is no longer any lush green grass, only pebbles and gravel everywhere.
It looks a little desolate.
The spiritual energy net that rose from the ground blocked all the exits around Yun Jing and the others, encircling the five of them inside like a wall.
Immediately afterwards, a stone tablet slowly rose from the ground outside the spiritual energy network.
There are three large characters written on it.
[Second stage.]
And below is a short section introducing the level.
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, the five of them stepped forward to examine the contents of the stone tablet.
Yun Jing silently recited the level description for the second stage and said, "A team battle within the same realm?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yufei chuckled and patted his head, teasingly saying, "Wow, you're amazing! You actually recognize all these characters?"
Yun Jing: "..."
He is definitely not illiterate now!
The rules for the second level are very simple.
As long as the challenger can defeat a group of monsters of similar number and strength, they can successfully enter the next level.
While they were still looking at the stone tablet, a dark figure suddenly attacked Yun Jing, who had the lowest cultivation level among the five.
The attack came too quickly.
Moreover, his opponent's strength was clearly superior to his.
So much so that he didn't even have a chance to dodge.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ling Mo grabbed Yun Jing by the collar, pulled him behind her, and used her sword to block the attack.
Under the impact of the massive collision of spiritual energy, both sides were forced to retreat several steps.
Gu Xiaochui and the others also entered battle mode.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the creature attacking Yun Jing was actually a level-five demonic beast comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, the Gale Three-Headed Wolf.
Moreover, there were four more wolves behind this three-headed whirlwind wolf.
Their levels are respectively: two-headed level four, one-headed level three, and one-headed level two.
Clearly, their levels correspond to the cultivation levels of Yun Jing and the other four.
The Gale Three-Headed Wolf, as its name suggests, is a wolf with three heads.
They have light gray fur and are quite large.
Especially the level five one, which looked to be more than three people tall. Its three heads were all baring their fangs and drooling, staring at Ling Mo and the others with menacing eyes. It looked quite terrifying.
Outside the simulated battlefield.
The audience who saw this scene on the memorial stone were shocked.
"It's actually the Gale Three-Headed Wolf! This year's tournament elimination rounds are too difficult! The Gale Three-Headed Wolf is a pack of monsters with excellent teamwork in battle, and its combat power is also extremely strong. Even in a battle between monsters of the same level, the Gale Three-Headed Wolf has an absolute advantage!"
"Rongling Sect is definitely going to be eliminated this time. That was a level five demonic beast! It's terrifying!"
"I agree. These five Gale Three-Headed Wolves are all combat-type demonic beasts, while Gu Xiaochui and Qi Yufei from Rongling Sect are a weapon cultivator and a pill cultivator, respectively. Although their cultivation levels are not low, their strength is not great. When the fight starts, Rongling Sect is bound to lose!"
"I told you, strength doesn't mean anything. So what if Ling Mo is at the Nascent Soul stage? Because his cultivation is high, their opponents will naturally be stronger..."
...
Compared to the audience's reaction, the group facing the five wolves in the simulated battlefield appeared rather calm.
Xi Ling'er glanced lightly at the three-headed wolves of Gale opposite her and said, "It seems that these guys should be our opponents in the second level."
Gu Xiaochui even shook his head with a regretful expression.
"What a pity. If these wolves were real, we could have slaughtered them and taken them out so that Master could make wolf meat soup for us."
Everything in the simulated battlefield is formed from spiritual energy.
It is not a real monster.
However, although the monsters are fake, their habits and strength are real.
Furthermore, if a participant is injured during the battle, the injuries are all real.
The five Gale Three-Headed Wolves were very cautious, crouching low as they slowly approached Ling Mo and his companions, seemingly looking for an opportunity to launch a second attack.
A major battle is imminent.
Yun Jing keenly sensed that most of the attention of these Gale Three-Headed Wolves was on him. Clearly, they saw that his cultivation level was low and wanted to use him as a breakthrough point.
Thinking of this, he silently moved closer to Ling Mo and looked up to ask him a question.
"Do we even need to intervene?"
The other three also turned to look at Ling Mo.
Ling Mo stepped forward, sword in hand, and said, "You all step back."
Upon seeing this, Yun Jing and the other three retreated to the back without saying a word, leaving him alone to confront the five-headed wolf.
Qi Yufei even said something to Ling Mo's back.
"Hey, hurry up, or Master will get really bored waiting outside."
Ling Mo: "..."
Those outside the simulated battlefield were completely baffled by their actions.
Someone pointed at the image transmission stele and said, "Look, what are those people from Rongling Sect planning to do?"
"Do they want Ling Mo to deal with those five wolves by himself?"
"How is this possible? Have they gone mad?"
Not only ordinary viewers, but even Murong Zhen and the sect leaders of the five major sects were extremely surprised by Ling Mo and his group's actions.
