The effect of the Demonic Eye Art contained the will to intimidate the mind. This will could imperceptibly affect the minds of others, and it usually had a certain effect in battle. Just now, Wang Baole had secretly executed this technique.
He did indeed want Li Linzi to attack him, because according to the rules, once Li Linzi attacked him, he would lose his qualifications. Wang Baole did not doubt this at all.
Similarly, if Li Linzi lost his qualifications, then he would attack and kill him, and his spot in the Graveyard of Stars would not be damaged. Of course, this was also related to the fact that he found Li Linzi to be an eyesore. After all, with his character, it was already not easy for him to endure until now after being provoked several times.
'It would have been better to throw him out of the ship just now.' Wang Baole snorted in his heart. He thought that since this person did not know what was good for him, then he would just find an opportunity when there was no one around and kill him.
'And that Jingle Bell girl, why does she like to meddle in other people's business?!' Without turning around to look at the gazes behind him, Wang Baole strode into the interior of the guild hall and went to his room.
After all, more than half of the three days of reorganization had passed, and there was only one day left. Therefore, Wang Baole planned to use this last day to adjust his cultivation so that he would be in peak condition to face the upcoming Graveyard of Stars Trial.
Just like that, time passed slowly, and soon, night arrived. The white paper moon in the sky emitted a gentle light that illuminated the entire Graveyard of Starfall City. At the same time, all the Trial Takers like Wang Baole had returned and were adjusting themselves to prepare for the trial that would begin after daybreak.
Midnight passed, and it was quiet outside. There were less than six hours until daybreak. Wang Baole was in a meditative state, and every breath he took was in harmony with the fluctuations in his body. His entire person seemed to have merged with the void around him, and his cultivation became even more abundant. Suddenly, the space between his eyebrows twitched!
His eyes opened instantly, and they were filled with shock and bewilderment. He looked at his bag of holding, and almost at the same time, his bag of holding opened by itself. The paper man stuck its head out with a strange expression on its face. Its body flickered, and it instantly flew out of the bag of holding. When it reappeared … it was in front of Wang Baole!
Wang Baole's expression changed, and his breathing quickened. At that moment, a strange laughter echoed in his mind, causing his cultivation to fall into chaos. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he wanted to get up, but he was shocked to find that he had lost control of his body!
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his body at all. He sat there, unable to close his eyes. Amidst the shock in his heart, he watched the paper figurine in front of him rapidly expand from the size of a palm to the height of an ordinary person in an instant.
The paper human cutout seemed to be unaccustomed to its current form. It moved around in Wang Baole's room in front of him until it got used to its new form. Only then did it raise its head to look at Wang Baole.
Just looking at it caused Wang Baole's eyes, which were unable to close, to feel a piercing pain. Fortunately, the paper human cutout retracted its gaze after sweeping a glance at him. It stood by the window, seemingly looking up at the paper moon in the sky. After a moment, just as Wang Baole's eyes began to tear up, the paper human cutout seemed to have a strange look in its eyes. Then, it moved its body, seemingly leaving the room and disappearing.
When it disappeared, Wang Baole regained control of his body. He instinctively closed his eyes and worked hard to adjust his chaotic aura. After a long moment passed, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction in which the paper man had disappeared. Then he checked his bag of holding to confirm that the paper man had indeed left, and had not returned. Wang Baole's eyes narrowed, and a chill ran down his spine.
"That paper man helped me board the ship so many times. It must have something to do with the fact that it wanted to use me to get in here!
"No matter how I look at it, this method of getting in looks like stowaway …" Wang Baole suddenly felt a little guilty. He felt that there might be some shocking changes in this trip to Fallen Star, and the source of this change was most likely the work of the paper man he had brought in.
"Forget it. I'm also a victim in this matter!" Wang Baole sighed. After comforting himself, he remembered that there was still a living person in his storage bag, so he hurriedly checked. When he found that the Dao Disciple of the Violet Gold civilization was still alive, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The other party could not die. At the very least, he could not die before he returned to the Divine Eye civilization and ensured his safety. After confirming that this person was fine, Wang Baole was about to retract his Divine Consciousness. However, when he thought of the paper man's stowaway, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.
I wonder if this kind of smuggling method can be used on others … Wang Baole suppressed the thought as soon as it appeared. In reality, if it was so easy to smuggle people into the Star Fall Empire, the Starfall Empire would have been in big trouble long ago.
To be safe, Wang Baole thought about it and tried to take the Dao Disciple of the Violet Gold civilization out of his storage bag. However, he soon realized that he could successfully take out other items, but as long as it was a living being, he could not succeed. Clearly, there were rules in this place that made it almost impossible to smuggle people in.
"The paper man succeeded because it was originally a living being here!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. In the end, he saw that dawn was getting closer and closer, so he suppressed his thoughts and calmed himself down. After adjusting his cultivation level, the sky outside gradually brightened.
When the sky was completely bright, a dignified voice suddenly echoed in the minds of Wang Baole and all the prodigies present.
"The trial by fire begins!"
As the voice rang out, a powerful force that could not be denied instantly spread out through the entire assembly hall. Although the force dissipated in an instant, the sound of waves crashing against each other could be heard from the outside. However, the sound was somewhat strange. At first, it sounded like waves, but if one listened closely, it sounded like the sound of moving pieces of paper.
Wang Baole was no stranger to this sound. His eyes widened, and he shot to his feet and rushed to the window. When he looked out, his pupils constricted. What he saw … was no longer the streets of Starfall City, but an endless … sea of black paper!
It was as if the previous three days had been nothing more than a figment of their imagination. Wang Baole spread his Divine Sense immediately and found himself on a gigantic boat that seemed to have no end in sight.
There were no paper people on the ship, but the ship was moving on its own, as if it were riding the wind and breaking the waves. It moved so quickly that the sea of black paper parted, leaving a long trail behind it. Countless pieces of paper danced behind it.
"Such a teleportation technique …" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes.
There were hundreds of rooms in the cabin of the ship, and he was in one of them!
As for the other rooms, the other cultivators were also shocked, and they started to check. Even Jingle Bell had a strange light in her eyes.
However, these geniuses from large clans and powerful forces were naturally not ordinary people, so they quickly returned to normal. It was also at this time that the dignified voice from the paper doll once again reverberated in the minds of the crowd.
"You foreign cultivators want to get the final opportunity in the Graveyard of Stars. You have to go through three tests. You've passed the first test. Now, it's the second test!"
"This test is an elimination system. The destination in front of you is a special star called the Fantasy Star. In that place … all the lives that you've killed will become illusions and become obstacles for you!"
"Under these obstacles, there are thirty Fantasy Crystals in the Fantasy Star. Seven days after you set foot on the Fantasy Star, those who hold the Fantasy Crystals can pass the second test and enter the final selection!"
"You only have one day to get there. Just wait … Cherish this last moment of peace." After the voice stopped, it slowly dispersed. The ship fell into silence. Everybody was silent, including Wang Baole. He felt that there was something wrong with the Graveyard of Stars.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who felt that way. Except for a few who seemed to know something, most of the prodigies in the other rooms had the same question. In fact, the opening of the Graveyard of Stars this time was different from the records of their families and forces. Apparently, there were more tests!
"There's a test. After entering the Graveyard of Stars, there's another test. Moreover, after passing the second test, there's a final selection … Why is the Graveyard of Stars like this? Perhaps the others know the reason? " Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, wondering if he should try to find out more information. However, at that moment, as if hearing the question in his heart, a familiar and sharp voice suddenly reverberated in his mind. The voice first laughed eerily, then spoke.
"That's because … this may be the last time the Graveyard of Stars opens!"
