"The assessment shall now begin!"
The old man in front of the mountain gate roared, "The best solution now is to let these young people pass through the barrier immediately, so that outsiders will not be able to get in."
A group of people appeared and led everyone to the primitive battlefield.
"This battlefield is divided into eight areas, and we have laid runes in all of them to ensure that the beasts will not enter."
The students of Butian Pavilion were explaining the rules; all that was needed was to pass through the areas marked with runes to pass.
"If someone is strong enough to break through the rune array, they can enter the second level, where a surprise awaits them."
"There are many ferocious beasts there, making it extremely dangerous. How you decide to leave is entirely up to your own judgment."
"Alright, let's enter the array."
At a command, the eight groups marched in a grand procession toward their respective areas.
"Little one, there might be a precious bone inside the array domain. Why don't we... hehe!"
A sly smile appeared on Qi Shi'an's face.
He and Shi Hao were assigned to two different areas; he was assigned to the third area, while Shi Hao was in the eighth area, which meant they could obtain several precious bones.
"Then take them all without revealing your identities!"
A glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, and he revealed a bright smile.
The two rushed towards their respective areas, fearing that if they were a step too slow, the precious bone would be snatched away.
However, the Realm of the Void Gods was also in an uproar at this time.
Chapter 25 A Lively Trial (Please add to your favorites, recommend, and vote!)
The Void God Realm was in an uproar. News of what had happened at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion had spread rapidly, and all the blessed lands and grotto-heavens were aware of it.
"Shi Yi really went. It seems that the Heaven-Mending Pavilion will produce a peerless powerhouse who will be renowned throughout the land in the future."
"The Wu King's Mansion really went to great lengths, sending him in with an ancient remnant. They really care about him."
The Void God Realm was in an uproar, all because Shi Yi's reputation was too great; wherever he went, he attracted everyone's attention.
Then, two unruly children were mentioned, but they have disappeared without a trace, and no one has seen them.
"Did those two kids really go to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion? Could it be another scam? They've been cunning for a long time."
"I think it's mostly fake. We've both seen how bizarre and eccentric those two kids are. This time they're probably just deliberately trying to make things difficult for everyone."
Everyone hoped that the two mischievous kids would appear at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, after all, they had broken Shi Yi's record, and if they could appear, wouldn't that make it even more anticipated?
......
In the third zone of the Primal Battlefield, at the Butian Pavilion, Qi Shi'an stepped into a forest and stared at the scene ahead.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh," a rune lit up and rushed towards him.
There are no wild beasts or ferocious birds here, only endless runes. For many young people, this place is like a trial by heaven, extremely difficult.
The difficulty of the Shu Road may not be more than this.
But clearly, Qi Shi'an was not among them. He pushed out with his palm, and the ground was split open by the demonic lightning. Boulders flew everywhere, directly shattering the runes in front of him.
"There are runes, it seems the precious bone is buried here."
He traversed the battlefield swiftly and finally found the burial site on a rocky hill only a few dozen meters high.
With a loud "boom," he shattered the stone mountain with his demonic lightning, and a crystal-clear precious bone fell from it.
"really!"
Qi Shi'an happily picked up the precious bone and put it into his pocket.
And so he continued his journey, breaking through obstacles and formations, all of which were destroyed by demonic lightning. He then quickly found the location where the precious bone was buried and, following his previous method, obtained another piece of precious bone.
"Although none of them are particularly rare or precious bones, it's still a worthwhile gain."
Qi Shi'an smiled gently, revealing his clean, white teeth.
In this way, he quickly obtained more than a dozen precious bones, which he put into his storage bag.
The group, who were exhausted and drenched in sweat, felt a sense of relief and were able to walk briskly again the moment the formation maintained by the precious bone disappeared.
The teenagers in the third area were all surprised. They all felt that they had adapted to the power of the array's runes, and they jumped up excitedly and then bravely moved forward.
"This time, I will definitely succeed!"
At this moment, not just one person in the third area, but everyone was extremely confident, feeling that their efforts had paid off and that now was the time to reap the rewards.
As time went by, many people outside the city remained uneasy.
They all hoped that even one person could remain in their tribe.
"Hmm, this year's difficulty has increased significantly. I estimate that many tribes will be frustrated and disappointed, and very few children will be able to stay," an elder of Butian Pavilion murmured.
The people beside him were clearly of high status and position, and they all nodded in agreement.
"After all, so many geniuses are coming this time, taking up a lot of spots, there's nothing we can do about it."
"I don't know which region is the strongest, or which has the most people coming out."
The elders all set off for the exit, waiting for the young people who were about to successfully complete the challenge.
In the third area, Qi Shi'an had been destroying the array and collecting precious bones. This time, he dug out a total of eighteen talisman bones, all of which were shimmering with light and covered with runes.
Although they are not the precious bones of some remnant species, these eighteen talisman bones would still be priceless if placed outside.
This area does contain the precious bones of a true ancient remnant species, used to suppress and protect this place.
Unfortunately, his current strength is difficult to exploit, and if we were to try to uncover it with all our might, there is a risk of our identities being exposed.
He kept observing his surroundings and felt somewhat relieved when he realized that no one was coming to arrest him.
"We can't dig anymore, we have to get out of here quickly."
Qi Shi'an slipped away as fast as he could, his immediate priority being to get inside the Butian Pavilion.
In the third area, everyone was invigorated. The further they went, the more confident they became, feeling full of energy, walking on flat ground, and unstoppable.
Tens of thousands of people were advancing rapidly towards the exit, driven by an unwavering belief in victory.
"Father! Mother! I've failed three times in a row, but this year I'm finally going to succeed!" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy cried.
"I must be a genius. I can pass the test on my first try! I'm sure I'll have a place in the future."
A ten-year-old boy was extremely excited and jumped up with joy.
A cluster of runes flickered ahead; that was the exit.
Without a second thought, Qi Shi'an rushed toward the other side, where the radiant glow of the sunset formed a barrier, blocking his path.
"boom!"
Qi Shi'an thrust out a palm, unleashing a burst of demonic lightning that blasted open the barrier, allowing him to leap over it swiftly.
This is a more primitive area, with ancient trees growing everywhere and beasts howling in the mountains. As soon as you enter, you can feel a desolate and ancient atmosphere.
"This is the second battlefield? I wonder if there are any treasures there."
He entered this place only to search for treasure; having passed the first test, he was already considered a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.
With a deafening roar, a distant mountain collapsed, and a giant red ape roared to the sky, slamming down with its paw and shattering the mountain peak.
"An ancient remnant? It's best not to provoke it lightly."
Qi Shi'an moved through the jungle like an agile and swift ancient divine leopard, trying his best to avoid the locations of those terrifying creatures.
As instructed, they were to find a monument on this second battlefield, which recorded the tasks they needed to complete.
However, the exact location of the monument was not indicated, presumably leaving it to them to find on their own as they entered the second battlefield.
However, it was not a problem for him. The ferocious beasts on this battlefield were not ridiculously strong, otherwise the Heaven-Mending Pavilion would not have easily made it a second battlefield.
Meanwhile, several elders from Butian Pavilion led a team toward the exits of the eight areas, where they would wait for the children who had successfully passed the trials.
"The first area is really pitiful. How come there are only nine children so far? It seems that this year's competition is really too difficult."
As soon as they arrived, the elders of the various tribes turned pale. Tens of thousands of people went in together, but only a few came out.
This year's difficulty is much greater, with fewer than half the number of participants compared to previous years.
"There's no way around it, this year's competition is teeming with strong individuals."
Elder Xiong Fei of the Butian Pavilion spoke with a hint of apology, but it did not satisfy everyone.
Many princes and nobles, and even descendants of ancient species, came to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion this time, taking up too many spots.
Therefore, this election is somewhat unfair to some ordinary people.
"Sigh, not many people came out from the second area either, only sixteen in total." Everyone sighed.
The situation was even more dire in the fourth and fifth zones, with only nineteen people managing to break through, and all of them were exhausted, drenched in sweat, and looking completely drained.
"This is way too difficult!"
The elders of the tribe looked increasingly grim.
"Don't worry, there are three days in total, and there will definitely be more time after that," Elder Zhuo Yun of the Butian Pavilion said reassuringly.
“There are definitely some, but probably only one or two. As time goes on, they become more and more exhausted, so where would they find the strength to break the formation?” an elder of a giant clan retorted.
As the subsequent areas also became equally desolate, everyone's hearts sank, and their faces turned extremely pale.
Currently, except for the third and eighth areas where no one has left, all other areas are occupied.
"They're out. The third and eighth areas. Sure enough, it's just a few people again?"
The simultaneous appearance of several people from the third and eighth zones plunged everyone present into despair.
"Wait, there's someone else here?"
A voice drew everyone's attention to the third and eighth areas.
Nearly a hundred people emerged from these two areas one after another, which gave the elders of many large tribes a glimmer of hope.
"Good heavens, all the geniuses are concentrated in these two areas. It's truly remarkable. It has already surpassed the total of the previous six areas combined."
Elder Xiong Fei of Butian Pavilion was all smiles, but what happened next made his smile freeze.
As more and more people emerged from the third and eighth areas, forming a dense, dark mass, the faces of the elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion turned green.
In contrast, the elders of various tribes and clans were all beaming with joy, gesturing excitedly, thinking that the children in their tribes were amazing, with so many passing the test.
"Child, that's great! You passed the test at such a young age. It seems our tribe has finally produced a genius."
"Third Donkey, it wasn't for nothing that you persisted at thirty years old; you finally succeeded!"
Hearing the discussions among the tribal elders, the elders of the Butian Pavilion were in a state of extreme anxiety and panic.
"There are too many people. This has exceeded our expectations."
"How to do!"
"Damn it, something's definitely wrong."
At this moment, the elders of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion felt as if the sky had collapsed, and they all wished they could just faint from exhaustion.
Because the combined population of the two areas exceeds tens of thousands, what's most infuriating is that these people are walking out in groups, arm in arm.
Not to mention now, even in ancient times, during the era of the sages vying for supremacy, we have never seen so many geniuses.
The elders, their faces green with anger, shouted, unable to contain themselves any longer, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
Their cries were so pitiful that they even alerted the higher-ups. Many people came upon hearing the noise, thinking that some fool had dared to storm the mountain gate.
Two and a half hours later, no one had left any of the areas. The elders carefully counted them and found that a total of 19,782 people had successfully passed the test across the eight areas.
Of these, six areas have a total of 82 people, while the third and eighth areas have 19,700 people.
This number shocked the top brass of the Butian Pavilion so much that their faces turned green.
This is terrifying! It's unprecedented, surpassing all previous eras, setting a new record, and there will never be another like it in the future.
Of the tens of thousands of teenagers, nearly 20,000 actually walked out.
Half an hour later, in the third and eighth areas, several elders were furious and stamped their feet. Elders Xiong Fei and Zhuo Yun almost spat out blood.
"Who the hell did such an absurd thing?"
This angry and tragic cry left the elders of many large tribes looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had triggered it.
