Chapter 40
You talk too much nonsense!
three days later.
Through continuous efforts, Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er have greatly improved their compatibility.
Early in the morning, the two left their residence together.
Wang Chong waited at a distance outside their residence.
They had obviously arrived long ago.
"Senior Brother Qin, Senior Sister Yun."
Wang Chong bowed to the two men.
Although they joined Tianxing Martial Academy in the same batch.
However, Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er were both Golden Core prodigies, so Wang Chong very consciously took on the role of their junior brother.
The two smiled and nodded at Wang Chong. Qin Yi said, "Let's go."
A moment later, the three of them arrived at a huge square.
The square was filled with young people, most of whom were newcomers who had taken the assessment in the same batch as Qin Yi and his group. A small number of them were geniuses who had been specially recruited by Tianxing Martial Academy for no more than a year.
When Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er arrived, all eyes immediately turned to them.
Golden Core prodigies naturally attract a lot of attention.
Qin Yi, in particular, caused a fierce conflict with Tian Shu Palace due to his conflict with the Qin family. He not only killed Qin Hanshuang and Qin Guang of Tian Shu Palace, but also seriously offended Luo Han, the master of Tian Shu Palace.
Qin Yi was completely unconcerned about these stares.
If you're envious, then ignore them.
But if it's out of jealousy, or because they've been instructed by someone to cause trouble, then give it a try.
He won't be polite!
Qin Yi, Yun Meng'er, and Wang Chong stood at the forefront of the newlyweds at Tianxuan Palace.
Suddenly, another group of newcomers from Tianxuan Palace arrived.
The leader of this group was a burly man with bronze skin, who seemed to exude an oppressive aura at all times.
He led his men to the front of the group, glanced at Qin Yi, and said, "Once we reach the Blood Mist Swamp, follow my orders and cooperate well. I will lead you, representing Tianxuan Palace, to achieve the best trial results!"
Qin Yi asked in a detached tone, "Who are you?"
The burly man snorted coldly and said, "Listen up, my name is Wang Qiang!"
Yesterday, Qin Yi saw Wang Qiang's name in the scroll containing information on specially recruited geniuses.
A genius who was specially recruited by the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Palace nine months ago.
The Grand Elder of Tianxuan Palace and the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace have always been at odds.
It is said that the position of Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace originally belonged to the Grand Elder, but he made a mistake and was punished, and Mu Wan eventually became the Palace Master.
But this elder was never satisfied and always wanted to seize the position of master of Tianxuan Palace.
Qin Yi heard about these things while drinking with Feng Linglong and Feng Ao.
As for Wang Qiang, he is currently at the fifth level of the top-grade Silver Core realm. He possesses a rare top-grade spiritual body called the Berserk Bloodline.
Once the power of one's bloodline is released, the person becomes extremely frenzied, their power surges, and can even rival the might of a low-grade Dao Body.
In terms of combat power, Wang Qiang is much stronger than Qin Guang, who was at the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm and died under Qin Yi's sword some time ago.
However, Wang Gang's berserk bloodline cannot be used at will; Wang Qiang can only use it once a day, and each time it lasts no more than fifteen minutes.
If it weren't for the time limit, and if it could be used freely, it would truly be a low-grade Dao Body.
Before Wang Qiang could continue, Qin Yi said, "Considering you're a disciple of Tianxuan Palace, I'll give you some advice: how arrogant you want to be is your business, but don't bother me, or you'll face the consequences!"
Wang Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You'd better not ask me for help!"
Qin Yi said, "You take yourself too seriously."
Wang Qiang scoffed, "We'll see!"
Over at Tian Shu Palace, several specially recruited geniuses gathered together, staring at Qin Yi, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing deep in their eyes.
This is not the time to take action.
They naturally wouldn't jump out and make a fuss; they'd deal with everything once they reached the Blood Mist Swamp.
After a while.
An elderly man, accompanied by two middle-aged men and a group of core disciples from the Tianxing Martial Academy with considerable auras, arrived at the arena.
The old man's name was Zhou Lieyang, and he was the deputy head of the Mission Hall of Tianxing Martial Academy.
The Mission Hall of Tianxing Martial Academy does not belong to any of the Seven Palaces and reports directly to the Dean. This newcomer trial is being handled by the Mission Hall.
When Zhou Lieyang arrived, the entire room fell silent.
His gaze swept across the crowd, and his eyes lingered on Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er for a moment.
Without uttering a single wasted word, he immediately ordered them to depart for the Blood Mist Swamp.
A huge spirit ship took off.
Everyone boarded the spirit ship.
A dazzling light burst forth from the surface of the spirit ship, and in the next instant, with a thunderous roar, it exploded with astonishing speed and disappeared from the sky above Tianxing Martial Academy!
Two days later.
The spirit ship arrived at the Blood Mist Swamp.
The group stood on the spirit ship, looking down at the Blood Mist Swamp.
Thick, blood-red mist swirled and billowed, stretching as far as the eye could see.
They were still high in the air, but they could smell the pungent stench of blood.
Most of the young people participating in the trial couldn't help but show a look of tension on their faces.
Even though the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult here are not particularly powerful, the thought of their cruel methods is enough to make one feel uneasy.
Qin Yi, however, was quite looking forward to it.
Because, even before entering the blood mist, he felt his blood and energy becoming much more active.
This place... seems more like a treasure trove tailor-made for him!
Zhou Lieyang, the deputy head of the Mission Hall, spoke up.
His voice was extremely loud.
"Listen up, everyone! This trial will last for ten days!"
"These wicked cult members have committed countless evils; they deserve to die!"
"Now that you've joined the Heavenly Star Martial Academy, you'll frequently be clashing with members of the Demonic Cult, because more than half of the Heavenly Star Martial Academy's missions involve eliminating members of the Demonic Cult!"
"This trial is the true starting point for your joining the Heavenly Star Martial Academy!"
"Once the trial begins, kill the Blood Demon Cult traitors and take their tokens. After the trial, we'll use those tokens to calculate your Star Points!"
"Ten days later, the person who obtains the most Star Points will receive an additional 3,000 Star Points, the second place will receive 2,000 Star Points, and the third place will receive 1,000 Star Points."
"If anyone has not obtained three hundred Star Points in ten days, they can leave the Heavenly Star Martial Academy directly."
After Zhou Lieyang finished speaking, someone distributed a talisman to each newcomer participating in the trial.
The most important function of this talisman is to allow anyone in danger to call for help.
Once this talisman is activated, Zhou Lieyang will be able to pinpoint the exact location and then arrange for someone to go to the rescue.
After the talismans were distributed...
Zhou Lieyang spoke again: "Little ones, your path to becoming martial artists officially begins today. And this path lies below. Summon your courage and begin this trial!"
The words fell.
Immediately, one after another, young figures rushed out of the spirit ship.
Qin Yi, Yun Meng'er, and Wang Chong formed a team. After they entered the Blood Mist Swamp, the power and blood energy within Qin Yi's body became even more active!
He didn't even need to actively visualize the demon statue.
The golem had already manifested in his mental world.
The blood-red phantom beneath the golem immediately began to boil.
"Senior Brother Qin, which direction should we go?" Wang Chong asked.
Qin Yi looked southwest and said, "Follow me!"
He could keenly sense that the invisible energy fluctuations permeating the southwest direction were the strongest!
Yun Meng'er and Wang Chong immediately followed Qin Yi and headed quickly towards the southwest.
A little over fifteen minutes later.
Qin Yi suddenly stopped.
The low-grade Dao sword, Tianjun, was drawn, its cold light flashing.
Yun Meng'er's expression was solemn, and she also drew a long sword that exuded a sharp edge.
She received a reward of 30,000 Star Points for condensing a low-grade Golden Core, and Mu Wan gave her an additional sum of Star Points, which she then used to exchange for this top-grade spiritual sword.
Wang Chong held a long spear in his hand, his face serious.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong?" Yun Meng'er was ready for battle, but she didn't notice anyone around her.
Wang Chong also looked puzzled, as he had not sensed anything unusual.
Qin Yi didn't speak, but took a step forward in an instant, shooting straight ahead, and then his sword slashed down.
A swampy area was instantly cleaved in two by Qin Yi's sword.
"what!"
A scream followed.
Immediately afterwards, figures emerged from the ground and instantly dispersed, surrounding Qin Yi, Yun Meng'er, and Wang Chong.
There are more than twenty people in total.
Each one of them reeked of blood.
On their foreheads, there was a crimson lotus flower pattern, as red as blood.
Yun Meng'er and Wang Chong both looked shocked.
The treacherous members of the evil cult are cunning, and this is their home turf, so they thought it would be difficult to find their hidden prey.
As a result, Qin Yi found a whole nest right away...
The leader of this group of Blood Demon Cult members was a man at the third level of the Core Formation Realm. He stared at Qin Yi and coldly exclaimed, "Such keen perception!"
"I was just planning to wait for you to pass by, then launch a surprise attack, and my brothers and I would then drain the delicious life essence of the three of you!"
"I didn't expect you to find out beforehand!"
"But even if you find out, so what? You'll still die!"
"As for that great beauty, I will..."
next moment.
A flash of sword light, like a bolt of lightning.
With a soft "poof".
The leader of the Blood Demon Cult had his throat pierced by Qin Yi's sword.
Qin Yi stood in front of him, sneering, "You talk too much nonsense!"
