One person: I was already fighting the Heavenly Master, but the system just came

In the Zhao family's spacious and brightly lit banquet hall, the light from the crystal chandelier was like fine gold foil, covering every inch of the gorgeous floor.

As soon as everyone took the Renqi Yangrong Pill, for a moment, an invisible force seemed to surge in the whole space.

Wang Ning's face flushed, and his voice trembled with excitement: "This... this is too magical! I feel the power in my body is like a ignited flame, constantly rising!"

As Wang Ning spoke, he waved his arms, as if he couldn't wait to find an opponent to test his newly acquired skills.

Zhang Taotao, who was standing by, had her eyes wide open and her mouth opened wide. After a long while, she finally said, "This pill is simply a miracle drug! It feels like there is a rushing river in my meridians, and my strength is endless!"

As she spoke, Zhang Taotao clenched her fists, and the veins on her arms bulged slightly.

Everyone's face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and the sound of whispering rose and fell, and their words were full of endless reverie about the future path of cultivation.

At this moment, Zhao Kai's father, Zhao Feihong, wearing a well-tailored black robe, the corners of his clothes swaying gently with his steady steps, slowly walked forward.

His face was stern, his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty. He raised his hand and pressed it down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

In an instant, the entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's eyes were focused on him as if attracted by a magnet.

"My dear friends," Zhao Feihong's voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the hall, "I heard that you all want to go to Youyou Mountain to look for the students who disappeared before. I am deeply pleased by your courage and friendship."

He paused slightly, his eyes like a sharp sword, slowly sweeping over everyone, "After a sincere discussion between me and Principal Zhang Zhen, we decided to respect everyone's decision."

When everyone heard this, they stretched their necks like waves of wheat blown by the wind and looked towards the door with anticipation.

Principal Zhang Zhen, wearing a simple yet solemn grey robe, walked in slowly with a sullen face.

His eyes were like those of a hawk in the cold night, sharp and cold. Wherever he went, people would unconsciously lower their heads to avoid his piercing gaze.

Yang Zhihui stood in the crowd, her little face, which had originally been rosy with excitement due to her improved skills, suddenly turned gloomy.

She bit her lower lip so hard that her pink lips turned slightly pale. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

Yang Zhihui muttered quietly, her voice full of dissatisfaction: "He rejected us so firmly before, and now he is doing this again. I really don't know what he wants to do."

Wang Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness, and he subconsciously took a step back, as if trying to avoid Principal Zhang Zhen's gaze that seemed to see through everything.

He muttered to himself, "With the arrival of this principal, things are bound to become complicated again. It's really a headache."

Yang Zhihui frowned slightly, her delicate eyebrows were like two willow leaves blown by the breeze, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Yang Zhihui snorted softly: "It's really annoying that you have to make such a fuss. It's just a trip to Youyou Mountain, but you still have to test me. It's really making a fuss out of nothing."

Having said that, she still dared not speak out.

Wang Lin stood quietly aside, her expression as calm as water, just looking at Principal Zhang Zhen quietly.

Her eyes were calm and thoughtful, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

She secretly wondered the purpose of the principal's visit and the deeper meaning behind this so-called test.

Although everyone was still brooding over Zhang Zhen's rejection of them and was filled with resentment, they were so frightened by the principal's innate majesty that they dared not say a word.

The hall was dead silent, with only the sound of people's light and slightly nervous breathing.

After looking around expressionlessly, Principal Zhang Zhen finally spoke, his voice as cold as ice in the cold winter: "You can go to Youyou Mountain, but you must pass the test that the Zhao family has carefully prepared for you. Only those who pass the test are qualified to set foot on that land, otherwise it would be in vain to go there."

Every word Principal Zhang Zhen spoke was emotionless, as if he was reading out an imperial decree that could not be disobeyed.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became agitated as if a pot of boiling water had exploded.

Some people were talking in low voices, their voices full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

Some people had angry looks on their faces, their hands clenched into fists, as if they were trying their best to suppress their inner anger.

"This is too unfair! Youyou Mountain is rich in spiritual energy, which is conducive to cultivation. In this way, the resources obtained are not equal. Why can only those who pass the test go?" Someone whispered.

"That's right, why do you have to set up a test? Aren't you just trying to embarrass us?" Another girl echoed, not to be outdone.

However, although everyone was indignant, under the icy gaze of Principal Zhang Zhen and the majestic watchful eye of Zhao Feihong, they finally had no choice but to compromise.

They all knew in their hearts that although they all seemed eager to go to Youyou Mountain to look for their missing classmates, in fact they were more hoping to obtain more training resources there and improve their own strength.

Wang Lin gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat unwilling, but still nodded silently.

She swore to herself, "I will definitely pass this test. I'll see what the principal has to say then. I will definitely not be intimidated by this little difficulty."

There was a determination gleam in her eyes, as if she had already seen the moment when she passed the test and stepped onto Youyou Mountain.

Wang Ning hesitated again and again, struggling fiercely in his heart, but finally he had to compromise.

He thought to himself: "Forget it, now that I have come this far, I can only bite the bullet. Maybe this test is not that difficult. I can't give up easily."

Wang Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervousness.

Although Yang Zhihui looked reluctant and disgusted, she had no other choice but to pretend to be generous and said, "Humph, this test is definitely not a problem for me. What questions can they come up with to stump me?"

As Yang Zhihui spoke, she shook her hair gently, trying to cover up her inner anxiety with this proud attitude.

Wang Lin remained calm on the surface, nodded slightly, and said softly: "In that case, let's do as the principal says."

She knew in her heart that it would be useless to object at this moment, so she might as well calm down and prepare for the test.

Just like that, everyone accepted this decision with their own thoughts.

Zhao Feihong had a faint smile on his face. He raised his hands and clapped them twice.

The movement was graceful and calm, yet it seemed to carry some kind of irresistible power.

"Everyone, please follow me." He slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation. His voice was gentle but revealed the majesty of a superior. He took the lead and walked towards the Zhao family mansion.

Everyone seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread and followed him subconsciously.

Zhang Taotao's eyes widened with curiosity. She looked around from time to time as she walked, muttering quietly, "How many surprises does the Zhao family have that I don't know about?"

Wang Ning frowned slightly, with a hint of nervousness in his expression, and his footsteps unconsciously slowed down, as if he was afraid of disturbing some secret in the mansion.

Yang Zhihui raised her chin, trying to look knowledgeable, but she couldn't hide the flash of amazement in her eyes. Wang Lin walked quietly, her expression calm, but her slightly clenched fists revealed some of her inner anxiety.

As soon as they stepped into the Zhao family's back garden, everyone seemed to be cast under a spell and stood there in a daze.

The garden is larger than one can imagine. As far as the eye can see, there are vast expanses of neatly trimmed lawns, like a green velvet carpet that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Colorful flowers bloom wantonly, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, interweaving into a dreamy sea of ​​flowers.

The winding path weaves through flowers and lawns. Beside the path are exquisite rockery and a gurgling stream. The water in the stream is so clear that you can see the sand and rocks at the bottom and the swimming fish.

"This...this is too big!" Wang Ning couldn't help but exclaimed, his voice full of shock.

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open so wide that it seemed as if an egg could fit in it.

"It's like an independent little world!" Zhang Taotao also exclaimed, with disbelief written all over her face.

Everyone was immersed in this dreamlike beauty and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

Led by Zhao Feihong, they came to an audience stand.

As soon as everyone stood in the audience stand, they all looked down and were instantly attracted by the scene before them.

I saw a huge bullring under the stage. The circular venue was covered with thick yellow sand, which sparkled with golden light under the sunlight.

The bullring is surrounded by a sturdy fence decorated with exquisite metal patterns that sparkle in the sun.

"This...what are you doing?" Zhang Taotao's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed across her face.

She subconsciously took a step back and tightly grasped the sleeve of Wang Ning beside her.

Wang Ning swallowed, his throat was very dry, "Could it be... Is the test related to bullfighting?"

There was a tremor in his voice.

Wang Ning is Zhao Kai's follower. He knows that the Zhao family has a bullfighting arena, but he never expected that one day he would become a guest performer in the bullfighting arena.

Yang Zhihui's face turned pale instantly. She pretended to be calm, but her voice unconsciously rose: "What a joke! This is too dangerous!"

As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Kai.

She is not an extraordinary person. She came here only for her cousin Zhao Kai, but she does not want to risk her life.

Wang Lin stared at the bullring with a frown on his face, secretly thinking that this test might be more difficult than he had imagined.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Zhang Zhen put his hands behind his back and walked in front of the crowd with steady steps. His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one. His eyes were as cold as frost on a cold night, making everyone shiver.

"The rules of this test are very simple." Zhang Zhen's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from a deep ancient well.

"You will draw cards and randomly select some monsters that have mutated due to absorbing spiritual energy."

"Defeat the monster, and you will be qualified to go to Youyou Mountain." His voice was flat, as if he was reading out a cold verdict.

"But if you can't do it..." He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a barely perceptible coldness flashing in his eyes, "you may be in danger of death."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.

"What? Fighting against mutant monsters? Isn't this playing with our lives?"

"This is too dangerous. The mutated monster must be very powerful. How can we defeat it!" Wang Ning's voice was obviously trembling. His body shrank back slightly, his eyes full of fear.

Zhang Taotao's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lips subconsciously and clenched her hands tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"I... I can't do it. I definitely can't win." She murmured softly, with tears in her voice.

Wang Ning frowned, "This test is too difficult. Isn't it obvious that we are sending ourselves to die?" He muttered to himself, having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Yang Zhihui's legs were shaking non-stop, and her voice rose unconsciously: "No, this is absolutely not possible! I don't want to participate in such a dangerous test!"

As Yang Zhihui spoke, she subconsciously stepped back, as if trying to escape from this terrible place.

Wang Lin stood quietly by the side. Although her face was calm, there was a hint of solemnity in her eyes.

The strength of the mutated monsters is unpredictable, and this test is indeed full of danger.

But if I back down, I won’t have the chance to go to Youyou Mountain this time.

Anyway, give it a try.

As Zhang Zhen finished speaking, the entire venue seemed to be shrouded in an invisible layer of frost, and the silence was depressing.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes like torches, scanning everyone's faces one by one, his voice low but with unquestionable power: "Now, let me ask, is there anyone willing to go first?"

These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing a slight commotion.

Everyone looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces, but all of them showed some hesitation and fear.

At this moment, Zhao Kai stood up quickly with quick and decisive movements.

His chest was straight and his face was filled with confidence, as if what he was about to face was not a dangerous mutated monster, but an easy game.

"I'll do it!" His voice was loud and firm, echoing in the empty venue.

Zhang Taotao widened her eyes and seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed her words back in the end.

Wang Ning frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but in the end, his worry turned into joy.

Yang Zhihui stared at her cousin Zhao Kai with uncontrollable admiration and excitement in her eyes.

She thought to herself, "Although Zhao Kai is a rich young man, he actually has such courage. It's really rare. I must hold on to such a great man!"

Most people understood that they might really be in danger of death, but that was impossible for Zhao Kai.

This match itself was held at Zhao Kai's house, not to mention that this beast fight challenge was organized by Zhao Feihong, whose intentions are obvious. (End of this chapter)
