A few days later.
At noon, a group of about twenty people were seen walking through the dust and arriving at the largest town near the Wilderness Mountains.
If you look closely, you will find that all the members of this team have crossed the threshold of the sixth level of Refining Zhen. Even the lowest level of cultivation is at the peak of the seventh level of Refining Zhen. As for those at higher levels, there are as many as seven who have reached the twelfth level of Refining Zhen... Wait, why is there a Ming Yuan lower realm!
What terrified the townspeople even more was that these people all looked like they were all under 20 years old, which meant that they were all young talents, geniuses with enormous potential!
Normally, one young talent like this would be enough to cause turmoil in the town, but this time, more than twenty of them came at once... Suddenly, the streets of the town were deserted, and many people even quietly opened the windows to peek at this luxurious team, their eyes full of curiosity.
However, despite their curiosity, no one actually came forward to talk to the team, because in addition to the twenty-something geniuses, there were two extremely strong auras, coming from two middle-aged men leading the team, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, two extremes.
Although they have strange shapes, no one in the town dares to underestimate these two people, because they... are both powerful people in the Tongxuan realm!
In fact, if Chu Tianxiao had not advanced to the lower realm of Mingyuan and raised the overall level of his team, this time their team would not have been qualified for the royal family to use two strong men in the middle realm of Tongxuan as bodyguards. These two men, the tall and thin one is called Mr. Fang, and the short and fat one is called Mr. Bao. They are both famous for being strict in the pre-autumn trials in previous years.
Mr. Fang gave an order, and all the geniuses stopped immediately. Then, he looked at them coldly and said, "You are all elites who performed well at the Autumn Night Banquet, and you are the rising stars of our Great Zhou Dynasty! You are three points stronger than the previous ones."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yun intentionally or unintentionally, then turned to Chu Tianxiao and nodded slightly. Seeing this, many grassroots geniuses couldn't help but feel happy, but before they could be happy for long, Mr. Fang's next words made them feel like they were falling into an ice cellar...
Then he said, "In that case, I will not treat you the same way I treated the previous group of people... In the next one-month training, you will have to endure a test that is 30% more rigorous than in the past! No one, don't even think about quitting halfway!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people felt a chill in their hearts - this Mr. Fang was already famous for his strictness, and the group of geniuses who had trained under him in the previous session all gnashed their teeth in hatred when they mentioned his name, and this time they had to endure another 30% more rigorous test
Don't...
This was what many people were thinking, but they did not tell the truth due to the powerful aura of the two gentlemen. Instead, they all began to worry about the nightmare experience they were about to encounter...
"Listen carefully! I will only say this once!" Mr. Fang said coldly, "This training is not a child's game, nor is it a competition between fellow disciples... In this ferocious mountain range, there is only life and death! Here, it is a real battle between life and death. Don't think that you will be fine just because you have me and Mr. Bao, two Tongxuan realm masters, to protect you... The Great Zhou Dynasty does not need geniuses who are as timid as mice and only know how to rely on others! Do you understand?"
"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.
Mr. Fang's face was still cold. He looked at Mr. Bao and took a step back. Then he saw Mr. Bao walking up to him with his short legs. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "For this training, we will only be active in the outer area of the Fierce Desolate Mountains. We have also drawn red lines for different places. No one should cross the red line, understand?"
"yes!"
Mr. Bao nodded and continued, "In addition, the goal of this training is to practice as much as possible. Therefore, what you need to do is very simple, that is, go out every day or stay out all the time, hunt enough fierce beasts, obtain their cores, and then return to the camp to find me and Lao Fang to exchange bamboo chips. Of course, if you are self-aware, you can also collect herbs to exchange for bamboo chips, but the number you can get will be a level lower than that of fierce beast cores... After one month, whoever has the most bamboo chips and exceeds the number we have set will be the first in this training! By then, not only can you get an extra third-grade elixir, Rongyuan Dan, as a reward, but you can also become an official seed player in the Great Autumn Test, and you don’t have to participate in the many competition links before the Great Autumn Test, and you can directly sit in the last round."
"The rest of you can exchange the bamboo chips you get for elixirs and other items. This is a reward from the royal family, so you don't need to be polite."
"But you must be careful not to take risks just to get more bamboo chips! No one is allowed to snatch bamboo chips from other people in the same team! Once discovered, you will be immediately expelled from the Xionghuang Mountains and disqualified from participating in the Great Autumn Examination!"
Mr. Bao changed the subject and said.
"Now, distribute everyone's initial bamboo chips."
As he said that, Mr. Bao took out more than 20 Xumi rings without blinking, numbered them from beginning to end, and distributed them. This scene made all the geniuses gasp in amazement, and some geniuses with low births were secretly envious, thinking that the Tongxuan realm masters directly under the Great Zhou were indeed rich and powerful.
But soon, everyone's minds returned to the original state, and they all checked how many bamboo chips they had initially. Some geniuses who knew each other looked at them and talked in low voices.
"I have fifty-nine chips..."
"I have seventy chips..."
"I only have thirty chips? How come? How are they divided?"
"It seems to be based on Qiu Yeyan's performance and cultivation level..."
"Anyone got a hundred chips? I have forty-seven."
Some geniuses soon discovered the clues and started to discuss. Only Qin Yun tightly grasped the newly issued Xumi Ring, with hatred in his eyes...
Obviously... he won nineteen consecutive fights!
Obviously... his text is better than the Holy Page 3!
But at this moment...
There was only a solitary bamboo chip in his Xumi Ring, and he was at the bottom of the field...
"It's all you! Chu Tianxiao!" Qin Yun glared at Chu Tianxiao fiercely, but the latter ignored him. However, everyone in the field also noticed that Qin Yun's eyes were not right, and for a moment, they were also very curious about how many initial bamboo chips Chu Tianxiao had obtained...
"Brother Chu, what is your chip count?"
"Oh..." Chu Tianxiao took a quick look, "Five hundred and sixty chips..."
After these words were spoken, everyone in the room almost fell silent. Some people hurriedly looked at Mr. Fang and Mr. Bao, full of confusion.
"How can there be so many! This... this isn't right!"
"That's right... This number, his starting point is too high..."
However, what answered him was Mr. Fang's cold words: "If you can also end your 19-game winning streak in martial arts, break through the realm of Mingyuan, and move seven times as fast as the Holy Page in literature, and take the position of the dual banquet master... your bamboo chips will also be this number."
This sentence stopped all doubts. Only Qin Yun looked at Chu Tianxiao indignantly again, shouting in his heart—That’s mine! Those should have been mine!
Five hundred and sixty chips... versus... one chip
What a huge gap!
Qin Yun took a deep breath. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Jiaojiao's secret technique was so powerful, his inner demon would have relapsed just from this one incident.
Mr. Fang and Mr. Bao didn't pay attention to these. Mr. Fang stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Put them away after you have read them. Just keep an eye on them! These are just the initial bamboo chips. It's still unknown what will happen after a month!"
This made some people think about it, and then Mr. Bao said, "We will stay in this town tonight. After we are fully prepared, we will all go up the mountain and head to various camps tomorrow morning."
"but… "
"Before that, you have one more thing to do..."
