In the trial grounds, Wang Baole and Dugu Lin looked at each other from afar. Beside them, there were people who had been challenged and failed. However, compared to Zhou Chudao's carefree figure as he left, Xu Ming, who was lying in the basin, felt more bitterness than mockery at himself for not daring to charge out and fight again in the end.
At this moment, it was time for the teleportation to begin!
Rumbling sounds came from all directions in the trial grounds. At first, it was weak, but soon, it was as loud as thunder. It was as if a humongous giant was roaring at the trial grounds.
The map in the night sky distorted for the first time. The earth trembled, and the mountains swayed!
The rumbling sounds became more and more intense, as if the world was going to reverse. A teleportation force appeared out of nowhere, and in just a few breaths of time, it exploded in the entire trial grounds!
This was the first teleportation, and it would consume one key for each person. Those who did not have a key would be eliminated!
At this moment, the peaceful trial grounds were thrown into chaos. Many players who had lost their keys on the map suddenly rose up and charged towards the nearest target with a key!
Although some people succeeded, most of them failed. As the light from the teleportation shone in the sky, as keys disappeared one after another, the elimination process continued to spread.
It was as if there was a storm here, and only those who had a key could stand firm. Those who did not have a key would be erased from the meaning of existence in the trial grounds in this storm.
Whether it was Xu Ming or Zhou Chudao, it was the same. Wang Baole saw with his own eyes that he had lost a key during the teleportation. Not far away, Zhou Chudao's body slowly turned blurry, as if he had walked into nothingness. When he completely disappeared, Zhou Chudao raised his right hand with his back facing Wang Baole, as if he was waving goodbye to him.
After waving three times, his figure completely disappeared without a trace.
This teleportation came quickly and left quickly. The entire process only took about ten breaths of time. After the world calmed down, the teleportation also ended. The distorted map in the night sky also became clear at this moment. However, there were far fewer keys inside!
Looking at the map in the night sky, Wang Baole slowly took a deep breath. Zhao Yameng's voice sounded in his ears.
"Every teleportation is a clean-up, eliminating the original map's Invisible Person. At the same time, it is also the time when a new Invisible Person appears. In addition, this is the only time every day when the Invisible Person's traces are exposed!"
"Because, as long as there is a key on the map, there … will definitely be a new invisible person there!!" As Zhao Yameng spoke, she lifted her right hand and waved it. Immediately, a gentle light spread out from the Feng Shui compass in her hand. The light gathered in front of her and formed a map!
"I've memorized all the locations where a key was used. These are the locations of the invisible people. Based on this, we can roughly determine the location of those invisible people!" As Zhao Yameng spoke, she pointed at the Feng Shui compass with her left hand. Immediately, many spots of light appeared on the map formed by the light beam.
These spots of light were the locations of the invisible people in the trial ground that Zhao Yameng had determined. There were three spots of light around them!
"How should we deal with them?" Zhao Yameng looked at Wang Baole. It was obvious that she was asking Wang Baole for his opinion on how to deal with the invisible people in the three spots of light.
"Ignore them … Hmm?" When Wang Baole said this, his expression changed slightly. After glancing at the location of one of the spots of light, he lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the tri-colored flying sword whizzed out and went straight to the other two spots.
Almost at the instant the tri-colored flying sword flew through the air, the Cultivators in those two spots immediately jumped up. The two of them didn't even look back as they tried to escape. However, they couldn't outrun the flying sword. After the span of a few breaths, miserable screams rang out. Their bodies swayed and they fell to the ground one after another.
Wang Baole didn't kill them. He just made them lose their ability to escape for the day and confined them to this area.
After doing all this, the tri-colored flying sword returned to Wang Baole. He walked to the location of the third spot of light that he had seen earlier. When he got close, the ground moved slightly and a person popped out. He didn't run away, but sat there. There was a hint of disbelief and confusion in his wry smile as he looked at Wang Baole.
"Baole … You …"
Looking at the familiar person who was about the same size as him, Wang Baole smiled.
"Senior Martial Brother Yunpiaozi …"
This person was Yunpiaozi. He had seen the battle between Wang Baole and Zhou Chudao with his own eyes. Even at this moment, he was extremely shocked. It was because he couldn't reconcile the Wang Baole in his memory with the current figure.
Wang Baole's strength had completely exceeded his expectations. It was to the point that he felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity.
"I've already cleaned up the invisible cultivators nearby for you. After you leave this area, be careful." Wang Baole saw through Yunpiaozi's heart and also felt the unfamiliarity he instinctively revealed. Thus, he was silent for a moment before he spoke. After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yameng.
Zhao Yameng knew Wang Baole's intention. She took out a key and placed it at Yunpiaozi's feet.
"Yunpiaozi, I'll see you at the sect later. Goodbye." Wang Baole cupped his fists at Yunpiaozi. With a smile on his face, he left with Zhao Yameng and Kongdao. Before he left, Kongdao turned around and looked at Yunpiaozi a few times curiously before he looked away.
He naturally understood that Wang Baole didn't intend to deal with the invisible cultivators nearby. The person who changed his mind was obviously Yunpiaozi.
It could be said that Wang Baole had only acted to ensure Yunpiaozi's safety after he obtained the key. Thus, Kongdao became curious. After all … they were disciples of the Federation. Even if they were friends with disciples of the Dao Palace, it was difficult for them to have a heart-to-heart.
In reality, this was indeed the case. Although Yunpiaozi was close to Wang Baole, it was more because of the benefits involved in the matter of the spirit boat and Wang Baole's generosity. It was also partly because they hit it off. However, in the end, their friendship couldn't withstand any tests.
This made Yunpiaozi look at the key in front of him and fall silent. After a few breaths, he looked up at the backs of Wang Baole and the other two as they left. He suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Baole!"
In mid-air, Wang Baole stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Yunpiaozi.
"Dugu Lin previously fought with Xu Ming. You … take care."
This news made Wang Baole think for a moment. Then, he smiled and waved at Yunpiaozi, turned around, and left. When his figure disappeared from sight, Yunpiaozi lowered his head and looked at the key. A look of respect slowly appeared in his eyes.
He respected not only Wang Baole for giving him the key, but also … for the other two invisible cultivators who had clearly restrained him for his sake.
At the same time, he suddenly understood the difference between him and Wang Baole … Combat power was only one aspect, the state of mind was the key!
"He doesn't care about the key at all, nor does he care about the rules here … In the eyes of him and his personal disciples, these are all dispensable. They don't need to follow the rules because they have their own set of rules!
"That is … to eliminate all competitors other than yourself. That's enough if you're the only one left here." Yunpiaozi looked at the key. After a long moment, he seemed to have thought it through. When he looked up, he let out a long sigh and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
However, this bitter smile was quickly replaced by a carefree expression. He looked up, but didn't pick up the key. Instead, he turned and walked in another direction. He knew very well that there was no point in persisting in the trial grounds. What he needed to do was find a place to sit down cross-legged and wait for the second teleportation to leave this place.
"This is no longer a trial for ordinary people like us." Yunpiaozi shook his head and walked further and further away. Only the key remained on the ground, shining brightly. However … no one cared about it anymore.
Far off in the distance, among Wang Baole's group of three, Zhao Yameng was the first to notice this. She looked at the map in the night sky and looked at the motionless key. Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could more or less guess what was going on. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, she pursed her lips and smiled. Her gaze fell upon Wang Baole.
"Baole, that friend of yours knows how to make a choice. He's not simple."
