Xie Wule sat cross-legged on the bed. Xie Wule set up a small energy gathering array in the house, which could be activated immediately as soon as noon arrived.
It was already the 28th when Xie Wule and others arrived at the three places. Today is already the 29th, and the gang competition will begin after another day off.
Fortunately, each gang member participating in the competition was assigned a separate room. The room is not big, with a table, four stools, and a bed. This greatly improves rest time.
After passing through six places to three places, combined with the knowledge about the ten places explained to him by the two elders Deng and Qing, Xie Wule could also understand why this competition was held in three places.
Nine heavens and ten earths, each world is hugely different.
Just like the six places where the Longhu Gang is located, most of them are beast mountains, and the places where people can live are very limited. Similarly, the fifth and fourth lands are each covered by a sea of sand and ice, and there is not enough space to build academies and hold competitions.
The three places are different. Although there is woodland, it is not as exaggerated as the Beast Mountain Range that blocks out the sky. There is also a large part of the plains, with open space and sufficient ground. Although there are swamps, most of them are marked out in advance.
Although the second place is similar to the third place, there is only one gang in the second place. It will take more time to host such a large-scale competition.
The first place is composed of many floating islands, and there is definitely not enough space. Moreover, there are no connections between the floating islands. If you want to go to another island, you have to fly there yourself or take a floating boat, which is very inconvenient. You must know that only those who have cultivated to the transcendental realm can fly short distances.
At the same time, from the first to the tenth place, the farther down, the thicker the true energy is, but the true energy contains more impurities, which is more suitable for the survival of the orcs.
The true energy of one place is too thin, and the six places have too many impurities. The third place is very suitable, with moderate concentration and few impurities.
For everyone, competing in this environment is the best way to bring out their full strength.
At the same time, Xie Wule also discovered a problem. Among the ten places, the environment in each place is not suitable for human survival, and there are many hidden dangers. Why are so many people living there? Instead of going to heaven?
According to what Xie Wule saw in the book, the few fragments of heaven describe how suitable it is for living.
Although Xie Wule has also seen that going to other worlds and opening the teleportation array requires a huge price, and it requires an array master to activate the array, but these conditions can be met and the price can be tolerated. It is better than living in such a dangerous environment. good.
Xie Wule couldn't understand.
At noon, the energy gathering array started on its own. The true energy flowing around it quickly gathered in the array, and Xie Wule began to practice daily energy.
He has reached the realm of excellence, and his spiritual consciousness in his upper Dantian is much stronger than when it first appeared. He is more skilled in controlling the details of his true energy, and he can also filter the true energy on his own. However, after Xie Wule tried it, he found that the filtration speed was extremely slow and the process was very laborious, so the best time for daily Qi refining was still at noon.
Xie Wule had just finished refining Qi when there was a knock on the door.
"Here, wait a moment." Xie Wule immediately got up from the bed, straightened his clothes and went to open the door.
"Thank you, brother, for disturbing your rest."
"Xie Wule, we're here to see you." Luo Nan put his feet up behind Zuo Yi, stuck his head out, and said with a smile.
As soon as the door opened, it was indeed Zuo Yi and Luonan as Xie Wule thought.
"Please come in, please come in." Xie Wule invited the two of them to come in and sit down.
Zuo Yi glanced at the Qi stones placed in the four corners of the room, then looked away and asked, "Brother Xie should be very confident about this competition, otherwise he wouldn't give up the opportunity to enter the academy directly."
Not only those who have reached the realm of transformation can enter the academy directly, but also those who have talents in refining medicine, formations, and casting tools, because there are very few people in these three fields, they can also enter without taking the test.
Luo Nan looked at Xie Wule in disbelief: "Really? Xie Wule, you are so powerful!"
Xie Wule smiled sheepishly: "Brother Zuo is exaggerating. I haven't fought once since I joined the gang, so I wanted to take this opportunity to see how strong I am."
"If I am eliminated, then I will join the academy as an array master."
The two elders, Deng and Qing, also wanted Xie Wule to enter the academy directly without taking the exam, but Xie Wule insisted on participating in the competition, and finally took a compromise.
Xie Wule also agreed to this method after discussion. After a month of guidance from the two elders, Xie Wule tasted the sweetness of being taught and avoiding detours, so he did not want to give up the opportunity to enter the academy.
However, if you do not have a clear understanding of your own strength, it is easy to lose yourself.
At the same time, Xie Wule also realized a way to overcome fear, which is to overcome the source of fear. Even if I am not my opponent today, as long as I can escape, I will fight him again tomorrow. If I can't beat him tomorrow, I will fight him the day after tomorrow, so that I can always be in a fighting state. Keep fighting until he is afraid, until you can defeat him!
Therefore, I must participate in this competition.
After listening to the conversation between Zuo Yi and Xie Wule, Luo Nan sighed, leaned on the table, and said with a sad face: "Xie Wule, you can just skip the exam. If Zuo Yi is so good, you will definitely be able to enter the academy, so what should I do?"
Zuo Yi smiled and comforted: "Miss Luonan is also extremely talented and strong. She can definitely pass the competition."
Luonan suddenly stood up from the table and said happily: "Hehehe, I think I can do it too. I was just joking."
"Seeing that Miss Luonan is so confident, I feel relieved." Zuo Yi's smile did not change.
Xie Wule pondered for a while: "Miss Luonan, I can set up a small energy gathering array for you in your room. Although it may not be of much help to your cultivation, it will still be of great help in restoring your true energy. This will allow you to participate in subsequent competitions in a better condition.”
Luonan's eyes shone with first surprise and then surprise: "Xie Wule, now you know how to set up energy gathering formations? So awesome! Thank you so much, Xie Wule."
Xie Wule looked at Zuo Yi again: "Brother Zuo Yi, what about you?"
"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I won't use it. I have been in the late stage of transcendence for a long time. What I need now is a change in my mentality. The Qi Gathering Formation will not help me much." Zuo Yi refused with a smile: "It just so happens that Miss Luonan has just made a breakthrough. Soon, it will need to be consolidated, which is really troublesome, Brother Xie."
"Tch~" Luonan turned his head to the side and stopped looking at Zuo Yi.
The time comes on July 1st, and the gang competition begins.
Xie Wule was walking in a forest with a silver sword in his hand, always alert to his surroundings and paying attention to his feet for fear of falling into the swamp. In addition to the Dragon Tiger Gang token, there is another token on his waist.
These are the tokens distributed in the first session of this competition.
The first project was not consistent with what I heard. It did not separate the Jie Realm and the Extraordinary Realm, but entered a woodland together. There are many spiritual beasts in the forest, and some of them will have a special red ribbon on their bodies.
If you want to enter the next link, you must have at least one red ribbon and token at the end of this trial. If you obtain the red ribbon but lose the token, you will also be eliminated. If you lack both Not even one.
The trial time is three days!
It had been a day since Xie Wule entered the forest. The scene was just like when he was in the Beast Mountain Range. He had not even seen the fur of a spiritual animal.
During this period, Xie Wule also met people from other gangs, and they all got ribbons in twos and threes and obtained the conditions for promotion.
Xie Wule lamented that he was unlucky, but he could only continue searching.
Xie Wule swallowed the Bigu Pill distributed before the trial and glanced at the sun above his head. In almost three hours, the sun would set, and when the sun set, the trial would also end.
Could it be that I couldn’t even pass the first test? Can you only enter the academy by being an array mage?
Xie Wule quickened his pace and passed several people along the way. Several more people lined up in front, blocking Xie Wule's path.
Xie Wule was about to retreat and change direction, but found that several people who had just passed him were also walking towards him, blocking Xie Wule's escape. There were even a few people standing on the surrounding trees.
Xie Wule recognized that they were all members of the Nanxian Gang.
Many tokens around these people's waists swayed and made crisp noises, and many ribbons flew at the same time.
Xie Wule's pupils shrank sharply, recalling that there is another way to advance, having two or more tokens!
This competition is not just about hunting spiritual beasts, but also a hunting between gang members!
"Everyone from the Nanxian Gang, since you have successfully advanced, why are you still blocking the way?" Xie Wule held his sword behind his back and raised his hands to everyone, saying.
A person on the tree heard the words and sneered: "I think you don't understand at all..."
"Huang Yu, we are all brothers of the Thirteenth Gang, so we must not be rude." Before the person named Huang Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by a person facing Xie Wule: "In the Xiananxian Gang, Zhuge Kong , I apologize to you for my brother’s rudeness.”
Without waiting for Xie Wule's reply, Zhuge Kong said again: "It seems that you haven't obtained the red belt yet, brother. I will kindly tell you that almost all the spiritual beasts with red belts in this forest have been hunted. Even if there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net, You’ll be hard-pressed to find it the rest of the time.”
"Since I can't meet the conditions no matter what, I wonder if my brother can hand over the token to us? It will be a good thing."
"This way, everyone can stop fighting, and you won't get hurt, brother."
Zhuge was polite, but the threat in his words was still obvious.
Xie Wule instantly understood why this first round of trials was different from what he had heard. There are more than 40,000 people participating in this competition, and only the top 1,000 in each realm will be admitted, so this method will be used to reduce the number of people as much as possible in the first round.
The behavior of Zhuge Kong and others is to reduce the number of people who advance as much as possible in this link, so that the subsequent competition will not be so fierce. At the same time, collect as many tokens and ribbons as possible so that more people in your gang can advance to the next round.
Xie Wule frowned. He was not a troublemaker, but he was not afraid of trouble if others came to his door. His frown suddenly bent and he smiled and said: "You have so many tokens and ribbons, then Brother Zhuge, why do you just Can’t you give me one and accomplish a good thing for me?”
