Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.
During these two days, in addition to attending classes and learning various knowledge such as spiritual herbs, elixirs, and inscriptions, Ding Hao focused most of his attention on the cultivation of the three secret books.
[Nine Turns of Ice and Fire Golden Body] has gradually reached the perfect state of the first turn [Skin Golden Body], with good results.
There is also a small success in [Smoke and Tao Blurred Body Technique], and the footwork of the first layer of the [Smoke] character formula of the four major character formulas [Yan], [Tao], [Mistakes], and [Li] has been mastered, which means Ding Hao finally had his own way to lighten his body. From now on, he no longer had to rely on his arrogant physical strength to jump around like a big kangaroo, leaving a big hole on the ground every time he jumped.
Ding Hao has mastered the nine moves and thirty-six moves of [Dragon King Li Shui Sword Technique], the first move [Dragon King Appears]. He has reached the level of proficiency, and is still trying to figure out the deeper meaning. He is not in a hurry to practice the other eight moves. style, he wanted to steady his steps step by step.
In addition, after completing the refining of the second acupuncture point [Tanzhong] of the Six Wonder Meridians [Ren Vessel], Ding Hao can finally start practicing the Twelve Meridians, the third of the [Shou Shaoyin First Meridian] The acupoint [Spiritual Dao] acupoint was also completely refined by him, and he officially entered the three-aperture martial arts disciple realm.
Ding Hao's strength is increasing rapidly.
…
When the sun rose on the third day, the first trial activity that countless registered disciples were looking forward to finally began.
This trial is obviously another test for the upcoming battle for the leadership of the five academies. Based on the conclusion of the competition among the five academies, who of the originally popular candidates can pass this trial? Among them, if you win the support of your fellow disciples, you can ascend to the position of leader of the five academies.
Every ambitious young man has a high-spirited attitude.
Under the arrangement of the sinister male head teacher Wang Juefeng, the four hundred disciples of Qingshan East Campus were divided into twenty groups, with twenty people in each group. Each group elected a captain and received a map. , starting when the sun rose, leaving the mountain gate and entering the marked trial area.
The adventure finally begins amid the apprehension and excitement of the rookies.

There are hundreds of races in the Endless Continent, but the ones that have the absolute advantage are humans and demons.
This is a world dominated by humans and demons.
There are many kinds of monsters. In addition to humans, all the powerful creatures in the Encyclopedia of Beasts are classified as monsters.
Demons have a reproduction speed that exceeds that of humans. Although there are different types of demons, both good and bad, their types and numbers are many times higher than humans. They also have innate magical powers and have obvious advantages and upper hand in the entire continent.
For tens of thousands of years, countless holy wars have broken out between humans and monsters, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides.
The most recent holy war occurred hundreds of millions of years ago.
The human race was defeated in this holy war and their vitality was severely damaged. Therefore, they have been at an absolute disadvantage in the war between humans and demons for nearly ten thousand years. Most of the human race can only survive in settlements and giant cities, and the wilderness is occupied by demons. .
If it weren't for the existence of several sacred-level martial arts supremes in the human race that frightened the demon clan, they would have been wiped out by the demons long ago.
Demons have meridians inside their bodies and cannot cultivate like humans, but they are born with demonic aura, so they mainly cultivate demonic aura and demonic power.
According to the strength of the demon energy, demons are divided into twelve cultivation realms: vicious beasts, demon beasts, demon soldiers, demon generals, demon commanders, demon kings, demon kings, demon emperors, demon emperors, demon saints, demon gods and demon immortals. , basically corresponding to the level of human strength.
Among them, those who are above the realm of Demon Commander already have the wisdom of becoming a person.
But above the Demon King, he has a human-like appearance.
As for the demon gods and demon immortals, they are all supreme beings. The dragons are head-to-head but not the tail. They are all leader-level figures who sit in one side. With one finger, they can destroy a sect as large as the Wenjian Sect from a distance of tens of thousands of miles. power.
There are as many demons as there are sands in the Ganges River, scattered in the wilderness of hundreds of states in the five regions of the Endless Continent.
Generally speaking, human sects will divide some wilderness areas inhabited by low-level demons into different levels according to the degree of danger, and send their disciples out from time to time to kill demons and slay demons as a sect trial to increase the disciples' practical experience.
Of course, the demon sect and some demon powers will also do the same thing, sending young handsome men from the demon clan's descendants to the human sect area to conduct trials and hunt down the strong human beings.
Fortunately, this kind of mutual hunting is allowed by the high-level supreme leaders of the two tribes. As long as it is not a large-scale war, private small-scale fighting is allowed.
What Ding Hao and others went to this time was a ninth-level trial area near Wenjian Sect.
This trial area is a huge mountainous and hilly area. It is not very far from the Wenjian Sect. It is only a few thousand miles away. After several large-scale cleaning and maintenance by the Wenjian Sect's strong men, only some low-level people were left. With the strength of the registered disciples, as long as they work together to deal with the ferocious beasts of the demon clan, there will be no casualties.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything.
The so-called trial must be dangerous. In the first trial of the registered disciples in the past, there would always be deaths. The mortality rate was around three to four thousandths. This was only the beginning to allow the rookies to adapt to this danger. world.
When the subsequent trial levels get higher and higher, the rookies will be arranged to hone in more dangerous areas.
Only the truly strong can survive.
The weak will be brutally eliminated.
After the test of blood and fire, and the choice of life and death, the elites can become the true disciples of Wenjian Sect and receive support and training from more resources of the sect.
Any race that thrives in this cold world must pay a price in blood. The weak are not qualified to survive.
…
Ding Hao was undoubtedly elected as the captain of his twenty-man team.
Zhang Fan, Wang Xiaoqi, and Fang Tianyi were lucky enough to be assigned to the same group as Ding Hao, and the other disciples who could follow Ding Hao felt extremely excited||Following the Fifth Academy Competition There will always be a sense of security around one person, right
After riding horses continuously for half a day, a group of twenty people appeared in the trial setting area.
The requirements for this trial are very simple. You don't need to hunt the designated monsters. You only need to survive for three days in this wilderness where low-level beasts may exist. Even if you complete the task, you can get three sect contribution points, which is safe. Returned to the sect.
"We're here! Within a hundred miles, we are at our trial location."
Ding Hao, who was wearing light green light armor, reined in his horse, carefully compared the map, and looked around.
The surrounding terrain is undulating but not steep.
A hundred-meter-high rocky peaks stand abruptly, like stone pillars supporting the sky.
Further away, because it is close to late autumn, most of the vegetation has turned yellow, and waist-deep dead grass is everywhere. When the wind blows, it rolls like yellow waves. In the distance, there is a large river rushing westward.
Some ordinary but absolutely ferocious beasts appeared and disappeared in the distance, and there was a faint sound of beast roars.
