Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

After the teleportation ended, Shen Ye landed on a reddish-black wasteland.

The sky was dark red.

The ground was cracked with scorched, blackened grooves, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and rotting blood.

In the distance, tattered battle flags were planted among the bones.

This is not an ordinary secret realm.

This place is like a graveyard where countless legions have been buried.

The watch lights up.

[The Trial for Conferring Kingship Begins.]

Current number of users: 300.

Current points: 0.

[Rules: Points are awarded for defeating Ancient Battlefield Fiends, Polluted Beasts, and Blood-Clad Tower wanted targets.]

[Entering the top ten will earn you the title of Young King.]

The first-place winner will receive the Seal of the King of Dongxia.

[WARNING: The rules of the Blood Mist Ancient Battlefield are unstable, and there is a risk of death in some areas.]

Just as Shen Ye finished reading the notification, the ground began to shake.

One by one, blood-soaked corpses covered in tattered armor crawled out from underground.

Blood-Armored Corpse Soldier

[Level: Mid-Tier 3]

[Weakness: Blood core between the eyebrows]

There are a lot of them.

At least hundreds.

For an ordinary trial participant, they would be dragged into a horde of zombies right from the start.

Shen Ye simply raised his hand.

"Night Feather".

Night Feather flew into the air.

The soul of the underworld phoenix was buried.

Dark flames spread out, and the blood cores between the brows of the blood-armored corpse soldiers exploded one by one.

[Slay the Blood-Armored Corpse Soldier, +10 points.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 20.]

[Slay the Blood-Armored Corpse Soldier, +10 points.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 20.]

In less than a quarter of an hour, the wasteland became quiet again.

Shen Ye's points exceeded 1,000.

The watch rankings have been updated.

Current ranking: Seventh.

Shen Ye glanced at it.

Someone has already been faster than him.

First place: Bai Wushuang, with 2100 points.

Second place: Tuoba Lie, with 1900 points.

Third place: Qin Wuji, with 1700 points.

Shen Ye put away his watch.

Not urgent.

The real high-scoring target has not yet appeared.

Suddenly, Zhu Jiu looked up from the shadows.

There are people in the southwest direction.

More than one person.

Shen Ye walked into a pile of broken walls and ruins.

Soon, he saw five trial participants.

They were wearing combat uniforms from different cities and were besieging an injured boy.

The boy had the emblem of Nanjiang on his body.

Shen Ye remembered him.

Ninth Reserve Battalion, Fang Chen.

Fang Chen's face was pale, and his contracted beast lay collapsed to the side, barely able to hold on.

Among the five, the leader's expression changed slightly when he saw Shen Ye, and then he smiled.

"Shen Ye?"

"You've come at the perfect time."

Shen Ye looked at them.

"People from the Blood-Clad Tower?"

The man's smile remained unchanged.

"Why didn't you guess we were just trying to rack up points?"

Shen Ye said, "You smell too strongly of blood."

The smile on the man's face finally faded.

"Let's do it!"

All five erupted simultaneously.

Instead of summoning ordinary beasts, they released five Blood Soul Puppets.

All at the peak of the third tier.

Fang Chen's expression changed drastically.

"Captain Shen, watch out! They're coming for you!"

Shen Ye did not back down.

Long Yuan took a step forward.

The Fighting Dragon Ape Body is activated.

The black and gold energy exploded violently.

The first Blood Soul Puppet rushed in front of him, only to have half of its body shattered by Long Yuan's punch.

Night Feather Netherfire pressed down, burning through the soul threads.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows beneath the ground, its Nine Netherworld Candle Dragon Breath sweeping across the two Blood Soul Puppets.

Shen Ye then went straight for the leader.

The man's expression changed drastically.

He knew Shen Yeqiang.

However, according to intelligence reports, Shen Ye's beast taming ability was definitely not that strong.

"Peak of the third tier?"

"All three are at the peak of the third tier?"

He wanted to quit.

Shen Ye has arrived.

The myriad beast divine patterns lit up.

Enhanced by the Dragon Abyss form.

Shen Ye smashed the bloody light protecting his body with a punch, and then grabbed his neck with his other hand.

Where is the Bloodless Faceless?

The man coughed up blood and sneered:

You can't find him.

"He will be waiting for you in Thunder Valley."

Shen Ye's eyes flickered.

Thunder Valley.

The origin of the tribulation lightning is most likely there.

"Anything else?"

The man bit into the poison sac in his mouth.

But before the poison could take effect, the Night Feather Netherfire had already entered his brow.

Soul burning.

Three breaths later, he screamed in agony.

"Bloodface has hired assassins from the King's List!"

"They'll kill your beast tamer first, then strip you of your talent!"

Shen Ye let go.

The dagger slashed.

The leader fell to the ground.

[Kill the Blood-Clad Tower spy.]

[Points +500.]

[Gained Evolution Points: 700.]

The remaining four people tried to escape upon seeing this.

Shen Ye did not pursue.

He only said one word.

"kill."

Ye Yu, Zhu Jiu, and Long Yuan moved at the same time.

A moment later, the ruins fell silent.

Shen Ye's points surged again.

Current points: 3850.

Current ranking: Second.

Fang Chen leaned against the wall to stand up, his eyes filled with shock.

"Captain Shen, you've gotten even stronger."

Shen Ye walked over and tossed him a bottle of healing medicine.

"Can you still walk?"

Fang Chen nodded.

"able."

Shen Ye said, "Find the others from Nanjiang and don't go to Jielei Valley."

Fang Chen's expression changed.

"Are you going alone?"

Shen Ye looked into the distance.

Beneath the dark red sky, a purplish-black thundercloud was slowly gathering.

Even from a great distance, you could hear the muffled rumble of thunder.

Thunder Valley.

Bloodless face is there.

The origin of the tribulation lightning is also there.

Shen Ye sheathed his short sword, his voice calm:

"They set up a trap."

"I'm going to flip the table."
