The word "wenbang" in Dingbang was also replaced with "Ten Kingdoms Spring Hunting List".
On one side of the Spring Hunting List, it is clearly stated “One Demon Soldier,” “Five Demon Generals,” “One Hundred Demon Commanders,” “One Thousand Demon Marquises,” and “Fifty Thousand Demon Orders.”
The ranking of the Spring Hunting List is very direct, and is entirely determined by the number of monsters killed by the Jinshi of the Ten Kingdoms. The higher the list value, the higher the ranking.
In the Jinshi Hunting Ground, there are three demon mountains. On each demon mountain, there are at least three demon lords, commanding tens of thousands of demons. On the top of each mountain, there is a demon order.
As long as you can obtain the demon order, you can get 50,000 ranking points.
There are two ways to get the Demon Order. One is to directly fight your way up the mountain, and the other is to use military tactics to sneak into the mountain to obtain the Demon Order. But after a quarter of an hour, all the monsters in the entire Demon Mountain will come out in full force to hunt you down.
The Jinshi Spring Hunt has been going on for many years, but no one has ever obtained the Monster Order in the end. Either no one has ever climbed up the Monster Mountain to kill the monsters, or after getting the Monster Order, they were hunted down and had to give up.
Fang Yun stared at the words "Demon Order" without blinking.
The hunting island is very large. Since the top scholar is not allowed to use the skill of rising to the top, the monsters will run away when they are killed, so the actual hunting range in three days is limited.
Last year, Jing was ranked eighth among the ten countries, stronger than Gu and Shen. Jing's national strength was comparable to Gu and Shen, but Jing's scholars were very brave, and occasionally even ranked seventh, but in the past hundred years, it could only stop at seventh and never reached sixth place.
The Holy Academy is the supreme holy place of the human race. Every student regards entering the Holy Academy as the first major goal in life. However, the resources of the Holy Academy are limited, and more than half of them are occupied by children of aristocratic families. Ordinary people cannot enter the Holy Academy unless they have outstanding achievements.
Every year, the Holy Academy would give a certain number of places to each country, including places for further study in the Holy Academy, places for doing menial work in the Holy Academy, and places for successful candidates to enter the Hanlin Hall.
The number of people that can be admitted to the Hanlin Hall at the same time is limited. Jinshi or Hanlin may not succeed in entering the Hanlin Hall every time. It may take multiple times to pass. The higher the ranking of the country, the more times it can get.
"I can definitely secure the eighth place this year. I am confident that I can strive for the seventh place. I also have hope of getting the sixth place, but it will be difficult to go any further." Fang Yun estimated the possibilities in his mind and found that the possibility of being in the top five was very slim. The top five countries were either old and powerful countries or had at least ten states, which was far from comparable to a country like Jing with three and a half states.
The coughs of the crowd gradually became quieter, and the three scholars who coughed the heaviest stopped coughing, but their breathing was no longer smooth. Every time they inhaled, it was as if they were sucking sand into their lungs.
Ji Zhibai in the car remained silent the whole time, and many people looked at him with sympathy. Now Ji Zhibai's reputation was completely ruined. Not to mention the Ten Kingdoms, even people in various ancient places used "Ji Zhibai" to tease others.
The fact that Ji Zhibai can sit here has proved his strength.
After reading the list of literary works, Fang Yun opened the curtains and looked out the window. There were sparse woods and bushes on both sides of the road. The trees here were very different from those on Shengyuan Continent.
The sky was still gloomy, with light grey clouds covering the sky as far as the eye could see, making it hard to breathe.
There is a white transparent barrier in front, like a huge transparent glass bowl upside down on the ground.
Fang Yun guessed that it was probably the power of the Holy Dao of the Semi-Saint clone. The Semi-Saint clone only needed to draw a circle in the sky facing the ground and activate the Holy Dao power, then the monsters in the circle would never be able to get out.
Soon, the dragon carriage arrived in front of the transparent barrier.
This is the end of the road, with a simple roadblock and some soldiers guarding it.
The carriage stopped, and the scholars from the ten countries came out one after another and stood in ten teams. Those who knew each other nodded slightly.
Fang Yun glanced at the crowd. Among the newly promoted scholars from various countries, at least one had entered the Holy Ruins and received his favor. After leaving the Holy Ruins, those scholars had greatly increased their strength and naturally ranked among the top ten scholars from various countries.
A large number of acquaintances were among them, including Yan Yukong, Li Fanming, Zong Wude, Xun Zhixing, Kong Delun and Han Shoulu.
Among the young Jinshi from the ten countries, at least one person from each country had met Fang Yun in the Ten Countries Competition or in Denglongtai.
As for those middle-aged Jinshi, Fang Yun had never seen them in person, but he recognized some of the most famous ones among them.
The scholars from the ten countries looked at Fang Yun in different ways. Some were eager to compete with Fang Yun, some looked at him seriously with curiosity, some were calm as usual, some were full of kindness, and some were hostile.
The great scholar from the 100th Wasteland City read out the rules of this spring hunt as usual, and then let everyone enter the light curtain.
After the 300 Jinshi from the ten countries and the 30 Jinshi from Kongcheng entered the light curtain, an invisible force gathered in the sky, and then the semi-holy light curtain was completely sealed.
Once a scholar is attacked fatally, the Semi-Saint Light Curtain will rush to rescue him and send him out of the hunting ground.
Therefore, every Jinshi was extremely careful. It didn't matter if he was sent out of the hunting ground, as the team consisted of at most one person. But if the ranking was lowered this year, the person who was sent away would most likely be blamed.
Just when the scholars from the ten countries officially entered the hunting ground, a shrill alarm of the highest level was sounded from the 101st and 102nd cities closest to the hunting island.
The people in the two cities were terrified, and then the voice of a great scholar spread throughout the place.
"The demon army is approaching, abandon the city! Leave this place and head towards the 100th Wasteland City!"
The people in the two deserted cities were confused, but then many of them broke out in cold sweats. Normally, if there were monsters invading, the first signal from the deserted city should have been to prepare for war, but this time, people were directly forced to flee. Something big must have happened.
In the 101st deserted city, some scholars stood on the broken wall and looked to the west, south and north.
Endless monsters are pouring in here, densely packed and endless, with a power that seems to have the power to destroy the world.
"As expected, we have no choice but to evacuate. This is probably the largest-scale attack that the human race has encountered since entering the ancient deserted city. There are probably tens of millions of people. Why are they so aggressive? How could they have escaped our detection before?"
"The Half-Saint is covering their tracks. Now it seems that their target is obvious: Hunting Ground Island."
"Oh no! Today is the spring hunting season. If they break into the hunting island, all of our race's best scholars will die!"
"It doesn't matter. With a single order from the Semi-Saint, those people can stop the Spring Hunt from the Deserted City to the Great Confucius Saint World... What's going on!" The great scholar who was speaking suddenly turned his head and looked towards the Hunting Ground Island.
Many people turned their heads and saw that a translucent moon tree a hundred miles high suddenly appeared in the sky above the Hunting Ground Island, with a blood-red demon moon above the moon tree.
At the same time, a large number of scholars in the First Hundred Wasteland City began to send the most urgent letters.
"The passage between Confucius' literary world and the First Hundred Wasteland City is interrupted!"
"The Jinshi Hunting Grounds have been sealed by a powerful force. We are unable to notify them and can only passively receive their messages!"
"Their target is the most outstanding scholar of the human race!"
"No, their target is Fang Yun Fang Xu Sheng!" (To be continued...)
