“This year’s billboard compet.i.tion will be held as scheduled.” That teacher remarked. “But the rules will be changed.”

The students below were in an uproar, which was unlike the previous years. It was unknown what this year’s would be like.

“Quiet down! Whoever makes noises again will be disqualified.” That teacher snorted.

This word was useful. Everyone immediately quieted down.

After everyone quieted down, the teacher continued, “In this compet.i.tion, we won’t be using a scuffle for qualifications. We’ll use another qualification method.”

There were not many students in the sect, but if they all competed, it would take too long to complete. So the sect allowed the top 1000 to enter the next round in the compet.i.tion.

“In the past, the compet.i.tion was held in the sect, but this year, we’re holding it in a field outside.”

The teacher’s words caused the students present to start whispering amongst themselves. Most of them displayed interest in this selection trial.

“Everyone look at this.” The teacher waved his hand, and a painting appeared over the square.

Golden scorpion-like spirit beasts flew into the oasis, killing the people inside. Not only did they kill people, they ate the bodies, leaving behind a pile of bones.

The scene was too b.l.o.o.d.y and cruel that quite a few female students couldn’t bear to watch it.

The final scene fixed on a recent picture of a spirit beast.

“This kind of spirit beast is called golden scorpion, a type of spirit beast in the Karma Desert. The golden scorpion is cruel in nature and often attacks travelers and surrounding residents. Their number was originally small and maintained balance. For unknown reasons, their number skyrocketed, and has seriously threatened the safety of the surrounding residents.”

“The sect was requested to help. They hoped we could deal with the golden scorpions. So this selection trial is to kill golden scorpions. When you kill one, remove their tail. The final ranking will be according to the number killed. The top 1000 will be qualified for the billboard compet.i.tion.”

“Teacher, is this dangerous?” Someone asked.

“You saw their fighting power just now. You tell me if there’s any danger?” The teacher retorted. No one said anthingmore. He continued, “This selection trial is risky, so if you don’t want to proceed, you can withdraw.”

No one wanted to withdraw.

“This matter is possibly life threatening.” The teacher said, “So you have one day to think about it. If you’re willing to go, come back here again tomorrow. Although this selection trial is not restricted to individuals or teams, we will look at final individual results. Okay, go back and think it over. Tomorrow, we’ll meet here again.”

After that, the teacher directly left.

After waiting for a whole morning, everyone was in a daze. They didn’t expect to receive such a result. After the teacher left, they left in twos and threes all discussing about the selection trail.

Sima You Yue and the group did not hesitate in their decision. This difficulty could not stop them.

“Sima You Yue!” He Fang ran over. Looking at Sima You Yue, he said, “Sima You Yue, when are you going to battle me?”

Sima You Yue saw his persistent eyes. “Okay, if you can find me during the compet.i.tion, I’ll have a match with you. If you can’t, then don’t mention this matter again. How about it?”

“Okay, then that’s settled.” He Feng happily responded and left in satisfaction.

“Is he easy to talk to?” Fatty Qu watched He Feng left and was a little surprised. “When we go there, everyone will be sent to a random location. Is he so certain that he can find you?”

“Forget about him.” Sima You Yue said. “If he really found me, then I will fight with him and satisfy his mentality of getting beaten.”

“Pfff——-”

Everyone thought He Feng was unlikely to find You Yue, but they overlooked one thing. As a result, the next day, they watched He Feng follow them on the square. Everyone was speechless.

It was too likely that he’d follow them!

“I’m not breaking the agreement!” He Feng grinned.

Sima You Yue smiled and did not drive him away.

“Don’t you want to go with your friends?” Fatty Qu asked.

“I do!” He Feng replied. “So let’s go together. Even if we separated, there is a way of contact.”

“…”

According to his words, did he mean that there was going to be more people with them?

After a while, Tang Yan and Mo Bin came over.

“They are my teammates. This is Mo Bin and this is Tang Yan.” He Feng introduced them to everybody.

Mo Bin and Tang Yan greeted everyone. When Tang Yan noticed they were dumbstruck, he chuckled, “It seems that we are not very welcome.”

“No. Nice to meet you.” Sima You Ming smiled.

Even if they were not welcomed, it was not good to say it directly.

Tang Yan turned his attention to Sima You Yue. “Sima You Yue, I have long admired your name. I’m glad to go with you.”

“I heard that this teleportation array is at random. It’s too early to say we can get there together.” Sima You Yue replied.

“Then hope it is together.”

Sima You Yue smiled. She hoped they would not be together. She was not used to having strangers!

A while later, the teacher arrived and asked them to go in the teleportation array, which was arranged yesterday, in batches.

Travel was much convenient with the teleportation array!

“You have two month of time. After two months, you’ll come back by yourselves. Those who are overdue will be eliminated directly.” The teacher continued, “In addition, the sect will exchange the golden scorpions you obtained for cultivation points. So everyone, work hard!”

Some people who had intended to partic.i.p.ate were happy when they heard this news.

Their strength was low. It was impossible to get the top spot in this qualification contest. They thought it was important to partic.i.p.ate, so they came. Now they knew that this can be exchanged for cultivation points, they were happy and eager.

Sima You Yue’s team was not in a hurry. The others had almost all left when they went up.

“Let’s go up too.” A pleasant voice sounded.

Everyone looked over. The one that spoke was Hua Piao Miao. Beside her were the guys who ranked in the top ten.

“Why are they here now.” Fatty Qu murmured.

These people who were in the front ranks went with them. Even if they did not get there together but if they were close by, they would s.n.a.t.c.h the spirit beasts from them.

Unhappiness!

They thought they were the last, and as a result, these people showed up. Naturally, they were going with them.

“Go.” The sect teacher told Hua Piao Miao and them.

The group of people stood on the teleportation array and noticed Tang Yan and Mo Bin together with Sima You Yue’s group. w.a.n.g Si Miao shot them a glance. Hua Piao Miao said disdainfully, “Why are the two of you with a group of new students?”
