Chapter 265: First Trial [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Taoist Feng did come back very quickly. He went to the front hall of the Taoist palace to get the command flag, and immediately rushed back like a gust of wind.

But the two brothers of the Golden Armor Warriors probably hoped that he would come back later. Before they could catch their breath, they saw Taoist Feng flash in again and said with a wry smile, "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

"It's... my job... and my responsibilities... so it's... a little hard." The two brothers finally changed their words.

They closed the door again, and Taoist Feng rushed back. During this time, Zen Master Yun had already finished explaining the content of the trial to everyone.

"The battle to capture the city is not an individual battle, but a team battle. Communication and cooperation between you are particularly important. Therefore, in the following training, there will be a lot of content for you to cooperate and cultivate your tacit understanding and team battle ability."

"The first test today is to have you form a group of three, divided into three groups, and go up the mountain to fight monsters." He pointed to the mountain. From below, one could see a path going up the mountain in the deep mountains ahead. It split into three paths halfway up the mountain, and then merged into one path near the top of the mountain.

"At the pavilion halfway up the mountain, there will be an old tree spirit who will tell you about each demon king. The first person to arrive can make a choice, and the chosen path cannot be taken again."

"The strengths of the three demon kings vary. Although the difference is not big, there are still differences in strength. You need to judge for yourself. After defeating the demon king, the first group to reach the top of the mountain will add two Yu Linglong per person; the second group to reach the top of the mountain will add one Yu Linglong per person; the last group or those who failed to defeat the demon king will not get Yu Linglong."

After Master Yun finished explaining the rules, everyone nodded to show that they understood.

Those who can cultivate to the level of a genius must have no problem with their comprehension. If one has excellent talent but a poor brain, it is difficult for him to stand here.

"As for your groups, we have already divided them in advance." Xu Zhan'ao took over, took out a roster and showed it to everyone.

They must have intentionally separated the people from Xuanmen. After all, they already knew each other. If they were divided into a group again, it would not only be unfair to others, but also not conducive to getting to know each other.

Wen Yifan, Yan Shenbing and Monk Yuansheng form a group of three.

Qi Yingwu, Wu Handing and Lin Fenghe are a group of three.

Chen Xuanjiu, Shang Yunhai and Liang Yue are a group of three.

Judging from the strength alone, it doesn't seem very fair. Wen Yifan's group is obviously the strongest, and Liang Yue's group is obviously the weakest.

But Xu Zhan'ao added: "You don't have to worry about who to team up with, because in future trials, you will be paired up with everyone. Today is just the first time."

After listening to them explain the rules, the nine young people consciously stood in groups.

Liang Yue was actually quite satisfied with his grouping. Needless to say, he had a good relationship with Shang Yunhai. The monk Xuan Jiu also looked like a very kind person, so there was no need to worry about communication problems.

Not long after, Taoist Feng came back with the flags and said, "I'm going up the mountain to greet the demon kings and start the trial. When you see colorful lights on the mountain, it means the trial has begun. Just hurry up and go up the mountain... Hehe, let me remind you that the speed of going up the mountain is also very important in this level."

In fact, everyone could guess it without him saying it.

After all, the content of the trial is to see who reaches the mountain first. In the first half, whoever reaches the mountain first can make the first choice, while in the second half, whoever reaches the top first directly determines the victory or defeat.

Liang Yue said to the two of them, "Don't worry about me for a while, just use your magical powers to go up the mountain first."

In terms of climbing speed, the warriors were definitely lagging behind. After all, the Qi Refiner could fly away with a gust of wind, but the warriors had to measure it with their legs.

Shang Yunhai looked around and said, "Even so, we definitely can't beat Junior Sister Wen and Qi Yingwu in pure speed. Why don't I take you two with me? Even if we can't reach the middle of the mountain first, at least we can start to eliminate monsters together first."

This is not to look down on Chen Xuanjiu, but the magical powers of the Mianbi Temple are indeed not as good as those of the Xuanmen and Kendo Academy in terms of speed.

Chen Xuanjiu did not refute this, but just looked up at the top of the mountain and asked, "The Qingyang Taoist Palace has raised a demon that has attained enlightenment for hundreds of years. Are we going to kill it in one trial?"

It seems that he was not pretending when he fought with Monk Yuansheng, he really has a strong sense of compassion.

"Don't worry." Xu Zhan'ao replied, "The souls in Qingyang Cave are immortal, so they brought you here for the trial. Even if you really kill the monster, or die here, as long as part of your body is still alive, you can be resurrected. This is something that cannot be compared to the outside world."

When everyone heard this, it became clear.

No wonder this place was chosen as the trial location, so that we can let loose.

Before he finished speaking, a colorful glow suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, rising up.

it has started!

……

Although everyone seemed relaxed, in fact, most of their energy was always locked on the situation on the top of the mountain. At this moment, colorful lights appeared, and several rays of light burst out instantly. Wen Yifan turned into a sword and was the first to go out, leading everyone to the middle of the mountain, bringing with her a howling cold wind. With her dual advantages of cultivation and magical powers, no one could catch up with her.

The two warriors in her group, Yan Shenbing and Monk Yuansheng, also began to run up the mountain, turning into two afterimages, with the same incredibly fast speed.

Qi Yingwu put his hands together and took a step forward. In an instant, he had reached hundreds of feet away. His steps seemed slow, but in fact, he was hiding a mysterious method. His speed in reaching the top of the mountain was not necessarily much slower than Wen Yifan's.

As for Wu Handing from the same group, he ran as fast as he could, while Lin Fenghe chose to travel underground. He moved forward quickly as a thin line of dust, and his speed was surprisingly not much slower.

Only in Liang Yue's group, Shang Yunhai twisted his body, his size suddenly increased, a pair of wings grew behind him, and he lowered his body.

"Liang Yue, Xuan Jiu, come up."

The other two did not hesitate and stepped directly on his back. Shang Yunhai flapped his wings and became a mount. The three of them flew to the middle of the mountain together.

Although not as fast as other Qi Refiners, it is definitely faster than those warriors.

In less than a moment, Wen Yifan had reached the fork in the mountainside, where there was an ancient mountain pavilion.

In the pavilion, there was an old man in brown clothes with a tree canopy on his head, sitting leisurely and sipping tea. Upon seeing Yifan land, the old man said, "This place in the mountains is humble and cannot accommodate guests. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Wen Yifan asked bluntly: "Old man, I want to know the information about the demon king on the mountain."

The old man smiled and said, "You should come as a group of three."

Wen Yifan understood instantly that the purpose of this test was teamwork, and it was meaningless for her to leave her teammates behind and come here alone. The old man in front of her obviously wanted to wait until the three of them gathered before reporting the information.

But she was obviously not someone who would give up her advantage. When she heard the old man say this, she raised her sword with a clang. "If you are unwilling to tell me, don't blame me for being rude. Even if we can be resurrected here, it will take some time. Why not let the three of us choose randomly without knowing the information?"

She originally had an advantage, but if she followed the old man's advice, she might even be at a disadvantage, so she naturally disagreed at this time.

The sword tip was so sharp that the old tree spirit trembled twice and said, "No, this is the rule set by the Taoist Palace..."

"The Dao Palace has its own rules, and I have mine." Wen Yifan said softly, "I'll count to three, three, two..."

"If you go left and see a dragon, there will be heavy clouds and fog; if you go straight and see a tiger, there will be dangerous mountains and obstacles; if you go right and see a leopard, there will be black smoke!" The old tree spirit shouted the information loudly as if his mouth was burned.

After hearing this, Wen Yifan ran straight to the mountain road on the right without thinking.

The old man was relieved and said, "Where did this killer come from? He thought this was an easy job, but he almost killed me..."

As soon as she left, she saw a handsome and elegant young man in fine clothes appear on the road leading to the forest. Seeing him, she bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Qi Yingwu, nice to meet you, old man. Did you give me the information about the demon king here?"

When the old tree spirit saw that the young man was so polite, he thought to himself, “Not bad.”

At least from the looks of it, he won't get hurt too.

So he coughed lightly and said again: "You three should come together."

The young man was naturally quick to respond. When he heard this, he also understood what the old man meant. However, time was running out. Wen Yifan, who arrived first, had already disappeared. He didn't know whether he chose to go up the mountain randomly or got the information by other means. Naturally, he didn't want to wait.

Qi Yingwu then wiped his hands in his sleeves and took out a red jade pill, "This is a herbal essence pill that has been cultivated for fifty years. I got it by chance and it is of little use. I wonder if you can use it, old man?"

When the old tree spirit saw this, his eyes lit up. This young man was indeed quite good.

What are the Taoist temple rules?
My rules are rules!

……

When Liang Yue and the other two arrived, they saw a genial old man with a smile on his face, sitting in the pavilion and happily sipping tea.

Seeing the three people, the old man immediately waved his hand and pointed to the mountain road on the left: "There is a dragon descendant who can swallow clouds and mist over here, you guys go quickly! Don't delay my practice."

　Good morning.
