Even though Wu Cheng was leading the way, here were all the students of the elite cla*s, and they were all bruised and battered from running all the way down in the primeval forest without a road.
Two hours later, when the roar of the beast was no longer audible, Wu Cheng slowed his pace, and here he came to a slightly more open area.
Seeing the group behind him falling to the east, Wu Cheng stopped, “Everyone just take a slight rest here, and then I will say how the next trial will be conducted.”
After running inside the forest that was covered with thorns from everywhere for a few hours, almost no one’s clothes were in good condition. Even though all the students who came here were not of low cultivation level, they all lost their composure when they met danger in a hurry.
Luckily, everyone’s bags were relatively sturdy, and although they were scratched and bruised, no one’s bag broke.
“Huh, Di Jiu, how come your clothes aren’t torn?” A settled Pang Fan then realised that the clothes on Di Jiu didn’t seem to have changed much, they were still the same as before.
“I’ve learnt a light body technique, plus there’s a ready-made path to follow behind you guys, so I don’t need to touch those thorns.” Di Jiu said as if nothing had happened.
When a girl standing in front of Pang Fan heard Di Jiu’s words, she swept a glance at Di Jiu with some disdain. In her opinion, this guy Di Jiu was an opportunist.
Di Jiu didn’t care at all, many of the students in the elite cla*ses here were only in their teens and were at the late Yellow level realm because of their high talent. Just like this girl who disdained to sweep him off his feet, she was estimated to be only a little under twenty. She wouldn’t even bother to consider whether running all the way here like this after others would really be like what Di Jiu had said, that she wouldn’t need to touch the thorns.
“Martial Academy, He Tai probably won’t make it.” Wang Chuantian put He Tai in his hands on the ground, even the people next to him could see that Wang Chuantian was not talking nonsense, He Tai had long been unconscious and now his face was not only white, but also greenish grey appeared.
Wu Cheng sighed and said, “I know, the seven-coloured spots are almost hopeless, and the fact that I shook them off only prevented him from dying immediately from the poisonous gas attack. After a long time, he will still die. As far as I know, there are more than a dozen people who have come to Fairy Star to die from the Seven Coloured Spot.”
After saying that, Wu Cheng turned to the elite cla*s students who had long ago curbed that state of exuberance and said as slowly as he could, “We hadn’t even reached the first stationing place before there was a beast shift scramble by powerful demonic beasts …… and there were deaths, so we can see that the danger of Fairy Star has increased again than before. ”
Wu Cheng is a worrier, he has always believed that sooner or later the demonic beasts of Andromeda can threaten the Earth. Now he was even more convinced that he was not wrong, and that the demon beasts were beginning to move to the edge. For all those who came to Fairy Star from Earth, the direction where Fairy Square was located was the edge.
“He Tai has been bitten by the seven-coloured spots and can only last for seven hours at most. Even if we send him to Fairy Square now, there is no better medicine to cure him. There was once such a student in our Martial Arts Academy, his name was Kei Xiaochao. He was poisoned at Fairy Square, and it’s been a few years so far, and he’s still in a coma.” Wu Cheng’s tone was tinged with some helplessness.
If he could save He Tai, he was the leader of this trial, so naturally he wouldn’t hesitate half-heartedly, but he didn’t have the ability to do so.
“Martial Academy, so what do we do now?” Yu Jie asked.
Wu Cheng’s gaze swept over the group of people who looked somewhat wretched before he said, “The demonic beasts in the Fairy Star all have a fixed range of activity, and only a very few of them will run around. This kind of activity habit is like that of a lion pride. Once a demon beast leaves its original territory and goes to a new one, there will be a battle for the demon beast, and this battle is called a beast shift battle.
The kind of hissing just now is the beast shift fight, once the beast shift fight happens, we are as far away as we can get. Unless you have the strength to take out that demonic beast, in fact many powerful demonic beasts scramble, even I don’t have the ability to kill them. I was taking everyone to the first quarters, but now I’ve changed my mind, we’ll split up here ……”
“Ah ……” Hearing Wu Cheng say that he would separate here, even the two instructors, Yu Jie and Wang Chuantian, were a little surprised. Generally for trials, after arriving at the residency, everyone tries out at how big the residency is, and then they all return to the residency again at night. After the first residency had been tried out for ten days, they continued to move to the second residency.
It had never really been the same as what Wu Cheng said, to separate now.
Wu Cheng took a breath and his tone became more and more serious, “Everyone knows that my viewpoint has always been that the Fairy Star is dangerous. One day in the future, the demonic beasts of the Fairy Star will threaten the survival of us humans. And what are our previous trials? Instead of a trial, it would be better if a few of us instructors were babysitting to bring you in for a month. The result of this is that it is very difficult to sharpen the truly strong.
Tai Ho’s snake bite and the powerful demonic beasts moving towards the edge have prompted me to make the decision to conduct all future trials on my own. Every two to five people will form a team, on a voluntary basis. Remember not to cross the red line, all trials must be within the red line. After ten days, you can all gather at the first site and I will wait for you at the first site first. Once again, I would like to remind everyone that if there is any danger on the way to the trial, you need to solve it yourself, if you can’t solve it, you will have to stay in this place forever, just like student He Tai, do you hear me clearly?”
Di Jiu was eager to know what the red line was, as for the first residency he didn’t want to ask, he had no intention of following these people back to Fairy Star Square again anyway. Seeing how everyone seemed to know, he planned to ask Pang Fan later.
Wu Cheng took the large bag off his back, then opened it and said, “Here are the locators, one for each person to take. This locator is light-energy, and as long as there is light, it will work. Now Yu Jie help me to send out these locators.”
Di Jiu also got a locator, which was actually a palm-sized screen. Di Jiu opened the locator and sure enough, a circle of red lines appeared on it. There were dozens of extra blue dots where he was, all of which were wavering slightly. In addition to that, there was a somewhat larger green dot and three yellow dots.
It soon became clear to Di Jiu that the somewhat larger green dot was where the fairy square was. The blue dots in it were them, the students of the trial, and as long as they moved, these blue dots would move with them. The three yellow dots, that was where the three residences were located.
Yu Jie felt that there was something wrong with Wu Cheng’s decision, and she was too low in status to raise an objection. She immediately decided by Dean Wu Cheng that this kind of decision was to cultivate some real elites.
Dean Wu Cheng had said more than once that if Fairy Star didn’t cultivate a group of true elites, when the demon beasts of Fairy Star rioted in the future, it would be foolish to rely on the laser walls of Fairy Star to try to hold back those powerful demon beasts.
Wang Chuantian was considered Wu Cheng’s disciple, and after Wu Cheng finished his decision, he said, “It is better to form a team sooner rather than later, too many of us gathered together will be more able to attract the attention of the mobile demon beasts. Let’s all start forming teams now, in groups of three to five. Those who have finished forming teams can leave here immediately, and we will gather at the First Quarters in ten days.”
Most of the students in the elite cla*s didn’t see a problem with this decision by Wu Cheng. He Tai’s accident was because He Tai had been bitten by a poisonous snake. The beast roar of that demonic beast before was terrifying though, without having fought it, who knew?
These students started to form groups, most of them in groups of three, and some in groups of four. Only individual groups were in groups of five.
Di Jiu didn’t bother to form a group, instead Pang Fan walked up to an early Xuan level student who was forming a group with a smile on his face, “Brother Cao Quan, take me and Di Jiu one. Di Jiu also has a light body technique, and my sword was specially refined by Master Hua Xia Ye by my old man.”
Di Jiu’s eyes fell on Cao Quan, who was not very tall and was a very tough-looking man. In his opinion, this Cao Quan’s strength was at most similar to that of the original Sang Kill, which should be at the early Xuan level.
“I’ve got three people on my side, so I’ll bring one more at most. It’s fine if you’re willing to follow us, we’ll deal with the demonic beasts when they appear, your task is to help a few of us with our packs.” Cao Quan’s gaze swept from Di Jiu for a moment before shaking his head and saying.
Taking Di Jiu was out of the question, Pang Fan was a little bit less powerful, but in a good way, he was more obedient. Who was Di Jiu? He didn’t know Cao Quan. Besides, when Pang Fan came up to beg, the new guy called Di Jiu didn’t even move, he thought he was a great master.
Pang Fan thanked him with some disappointment and then turned back. In his opinion, Di Jiu’s strength was too poor, just some light body skills, and it was dangerous to be here without teaming up with someone more powerful.
In the blink of an eye, most of the elite cla*s students had formed their teams and left one after another, leaving only Di Jiu, Pang Fan and the two instructors, Yu Jie and Wang Chuantian, at the scene. Even Wu Chengdu had left, saying he was going to the quarters first.
“Pang Fan you and Di Jiu should not go to the trial for the time being, you should go to the residency and rendezvous with the Martial Academy first.” Yu Jie knew that Pang Fan’s strength was low and there was no one to take him. As for Di Jiu, she didn’t consider him as her student at all.
Wang Chuantian also nodded and said, “That would be best, the straight line distance from here to the first residency is still safe.”
He planned to team up with Yu Jie, with his current strength, he would also need more opportunities to go further. Dean Wu Cheng’s strength had somewhat spurred him on, and what he craved most now was to cross into the Ascendant.
“Alright, but there’s still a He Tai here.” Pang Fan pointed at He Tai on the ground.
Wang Chuantian sighed and said, “You guys just take He Tai to the quarters and bury him, sigh ……”
“Alright then.” Pang Fan had no choice but to respond.
After the two instructors left, Di Jiu looked at Pang Fan somewhat speechlessly, not only did this guy not find a powerful companion to team up with, instead he had to bring a burden to the quarters, was this guy really here for the trial? It seemed that a person could order Pang Fan to do things.
