Chapter 315

The Trial Competition was a test of one's comprehensive combat ability.

Through the amplification of the equipment, the range and strength of the Abyss Nightmare Beast's [Nightmare] skill would be greatly increased, and the contestants would be guided into the Nightmare World to use the illusory Nightmare World for the Trial Competition.

In the Nightmare World, any venue could be constructed at will, and tall buildings could be built with just a thought.

Moreover, if one died in the Nightmare World, they would not really die. It would only cause mental trauma to the contestants, and they would slowly recover.

The situation in the Nightmare World could be broadcasted on the big screens in the arena in real time.

The contestants would be randomly selected into groups of 100 to undergo the Trial Elimination. Only ten people would be selected from each group!

…

After the commentator finished reading the rules, he announced the start of the Trial.

The first batch of contestants was selected by the machines. They left the staging area and went to the stage, where the ninth-rank Abyss Nightmare Beast was.

The Abyss Nightmare Beast was not large compared to other ninth-rank beasts. However, its mental attack was strong, and it was impossible to defend against it. It was a tricky beast.

All the contestants felt a kind of mental pressure.

Su Ping saw that Su Lingyue and Ye Hao had been selected in the first group.

Qin Shuhai noticed this as well. His eyes glowed, but he didn't show any reaction.

Fei Yanbo's mind was on his students. He became nervous when he saw that Luo Fengtian had been selected.

The contestants put on the Astral Helmets with the help of the staff. Their consciousness would be guided into the Nightmare World of the Abyss Nightmare Beast.

The first batch of contestants was the staging area in the Nightmare World.

Through the screen, one could see that it was an ancient battleground.

Over a hundred people were looking around and walking around. Some of them even thought that the trial had begun and tried to attack the people around them. However, their attacks went right through the people around them, to no avail.

That was an awkward situation.

As the trial began, over a hundred people disappeared from the ancient battleground. They were teleported to a vast forest. There were sand, swamps, and rocks in the forest. It was a kind of comprehensive field on land.

There were over a hundred screens under the stage, and in the middle, there were ten of the largest screens. The contestants who performed well would be shown on the screens in the middle.

At the moment, the ten screens were empty except for the view of the forest from the sky, which showed the structure of the Nightmare World to the audience.

Su Ping's eyes glowed. Soon, he found Su Lingyue on a screen that was ten meters wide by the side.

She was at the edge of a dense forest. As soon as she appeared, she summoned the Phantom Flame Beast and the Moonfrost Dragon.

Dragons were popular. As soon as they appeared, Su Lingyue's screen attracted a lot of attention.

Su Ping nodded. He was relieved.

With the Moonfrost Dragon's protection, she wouldn't suffer.

She could pass the test of consciousness and she couldn't use the Moonfrost Dragon's full strength. However, based on the abilities that the Moonfrost Dragon had shown in Su Lingyue's memory, she could replicate the Moonfrost Dragon's abilities in her consciousness. That was enough for her to qualify.

There were two ways to advance in the trial space.

The first way was to kill.

Every time a contestant was killed, one point would be accumulated. The one with the highest points would be given priority.

The second way was to obtain the Dreamland Stone.

One Dreamland Stone was worth 20 points.

However, the Dreamland Stone had a drawback. It would emit beams of light from time to time above the contestants' heads, which would expose the contestants' location. That would attract a large number of people.

…

As the trial began, three figures gradually appeared on the ten large screens in the middle. These three people were in the lead and had already killed someone.

"I think that's the young man from the Ye family." Qin Shuhai grinned at one of the three.

Su Ping followed Qin Shuhai's gaze. On one of the screens was a young man in cyan clothes. The young man was tall and straight, with a cold look on his face. He had three pets with him, but none of them were battle pets.

The three pets provided tracking, concealment, and scouting functions.

In the sky, there was an invisible Wind Bird flying in the sky. That was just a pet with a sixth-rank bloodline, but it was just as useful as a seventh-rank battle pet.

Su Ping realized that the young man was not Ye Hao.

Apart from Ye Hao, the Ye family had many other young talents.

Standing next to the screen was another familiar face. It was Fei Yanbo's student, Luo Fengtian.

Luo Fengtian summoned his Black Pit Dragon, which was his main pet. He had already exposed the Black Pit Dragon at the branch venue. Therefore, he didn't plan on hiding it.

Luo Fengtian had killed two people in a row with the help of the Black Pit Dragon. He was going on a rampage, as if he wanted to find and kill as many as he could before the other participants grouped up.

Su Ping had to admit that he was doing the right thing.

Of course, he had to have enough confidence in his own strength!

Su Ping looked at the screen for a while and then turned his attention back to Su Lingyue. To be honest, he didn't think the most dangerous part of the preliminaries would be the first round of the trial!

The Moonfrost Dragon was strong enough. However, if Su Lingyue wandered around on her own and failed to kill anyone or find the Dreamland Stone, the Moonfrost Dragon would be useless.

Su Ping had learned from his past life that he could not leave the bronze ocean just because he had a king rank to carry him!

If he were to be carried away by a king rank, he would not deserve to be called the King Rank of Bronze!

Obviously, he could not!

"Go and find someone …" Su Ping murmured to himself. He was praying that she would be "lucky" enough to run into a group of people soon.

Qin Shuhai could tell that Su Ping was nervous.

Is he … nervous?

Qin Shuhai's heart skipped a beat.

Didn't he say that he would be the champion? Why was he nervous just before the trial?

Besides, there was that mutated Moonfrost Dragon. That was one of the top 10 dragons and it had reached adulthood. The Moonfrost Dragon should be at least at the seventh-rank. There was a good chance that the Moonfrost Dragon could make it to the Top 100.

…

"Oh no, your sister is in trouble."

Fei Yanbo's expression changed a little as he shouted.

Through the red dots on the minimap, Fei Yanbo could see many people around Su Lingyue. There were at least a dozen of them. Su Lingyue was surrounded.

Those people didn't know where Su Lingyue was or where each other was. But they would run into each other as they moved.

Su Ping's eyes glowed.

Great!

He immediately felt reassured and relaxed.

As he expected, Su Lingyue soon met the first person. Both of them were surprised to see each other.

Out of instinct, Su Lingyue wanted to run away but that person had already run away.

What was going on?

All of a sudden, she realized that it was the Moonfrost Dragon that was standing next to her.

This was a dragon beast. The latter had most likely seen it and fled in fright.

Su Lingyue was annoyed. She hadn't gotten used to the fact that she had a powerful pet like the Moonfrost Dragon.

Su Ping glared at Su Lingyue when he saw that Su Lingyue had let go of a point. He was so angry that he was about to bleed.

A duck that came to his door could fly away?!

You're not the Bronze King, you're the Iron King!

Am I really going to fail here … Su Ping was even more nervous than when he was going to fight some beast kings on his own. That was too exciting!

Su Lingyue reflected on her actions in the trial ground. Then, she moved on.

Soon, she ran into another person. This time, she was more experienced. She told the Moonfrost Dragon to attack when she saw the person riding a seventh-rank Cyan Wolf.

Roar!

The dragon's roar scared that person's Cyan Wolf to the ground. The Cyan Wolf didn't even have the courage to run away.

The Moonfrost Dragon dashed forward and tore that person into pieces. That person had earned one point.

Su Lingyue was overjoyed to have earned one point. She smiled.

Su Ping, on the other hand, was fuming with rage.

Who told you to use the dragon's roar!

She had alerted the enemy. All the other red dots were running away from Su Lingyue in fright!

This was a hunt. Hunt, understand?!

Su Ping curled his lips in anger. Still, he knew it was pointless to be impatient. He could only blame himself for not teaching Su Lingyue about this beforehand. At the end of the day, that was the nature of students. They were too inexperienced. They could understand the theories, but when they were on the battlefield, they would forget everything after being stimulated by the environment.

Time moved on. Half of the one-hour trial had passed.

During that time, Su Lingyue had accumulated five points. Still, she was not able to go on the big screen. She was only active on the small screens. Many of the small screens had dimmed down. The participants had left after losing.

All ten of the big screens were occupied. The one with the lowest number of points was 28.

A piece of Dreamland Stone and eight heads.

Su Ping, on the other hand, calmed himself down. After half an hour of "excitement," he had thought things through. There was no point in being anxious.

Moreover, he could tell that the rules of the trial competition seemed to be quite fair.

The Dreamland Stone was the turning point. Once a Dreamland Stone was dug out, it would glow from time to time. Even if the participants hid the Dreamland Stone somewhere in the forest, it would still glow.

Once the Dreamland Stone was found, it would be activated and become a signal tower for killing.

That would incite more fights and killings in the trial field. In the end, only the powerful would be left alive.

On the screen, Su Lingyue was looking for a ray of light from a Dreamland Stone. She was unlucky. She couldn't find a Dreamland Stone. She had to snatch the Dreamland Stones that others had found.

Su Ping saw anxiety and eagerness on her face as well. He was both relieved and disappointed at the same time.

If only she could be stronger.

Of course, Su Ping knew that he couldn't blame her entirely. He didn't make it clear. If he had told her before she went on stage to kill everyone she saw and that there was no need to be cautious, she wouldn't be in such a passive position.

Ten minutes later.

Su Lingyue followed a ray of light from a Dreamland Stone and found the person who was holding it.

That person was one of the Top 10 on the screen. However, he was seriously injured.

In order to protect the Dreamland Stone, he had killed more than a dozen people. But he had also suffered great losses.

That person pulled a long face when he saw Su Lingyue coming with her dragon.

After some threatening words, Su Lingyue made her move. She gave the signal to attack and the Moonfrost Dragon roared and dashed out. In less than half a minute, the battle was over.

The person who had been on the screen for half an hour couldn't hold on for even half a minute. He left the stage in low spirits.

Su Lingyue leaped onto the screen.

"She's strong but not smart enough."

Qin Shuhai commented with a smile.

Su Ping knew that Qin Shuhai was talking about the young man who had the Dreamland Stone.

The young man had killed more than a dozen people, which was enough to prove that he was strong enough to make it to the Top 100. Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to control his greed. Taking the Dreamland Stone too early wouldn't do him any good.

Qin Shuhai turned around and said to Su Ping with a smile, "Your sister is good at hiding. She's only starting now."

Su Ping was smiling as well.

But inside, he was grinning a bitter smile.

She wasn't good at hiding.

She was so stupid!

Given the Moonfrost Dragon's strength, Su Ping didn't think it would be a problem for the Moonfrost Dragon to fend off a hundred opponents on its own. The only way she could be eliminated would be if she was ambushed by those who were doing well and had the potential to make it to the Top 10.

Otherwise, even if there were twice as many pets, Su Ping would still be able to defeat them.

"She's safe now," Su Ping said.

With the Dreamland Stone in hand, Su Lingyue wouldn't be able to run away. She would become a target.

That way, no matter how many people she scared away, there would be more people coming to attack her. Sooner or later, she would accumulate more points.

Needless to say, he really liked the design of the competition.

Time passed by.

The battles were becoming more intense.

On the screen, Su Lingyue's points were increasing.

The eyes of the audience gradually gathered on this young girl.

Many people had forgotten about her when she had been quiet for most of the time. They had been staring at the screen. However, as Su Lingyue stepped onto the screen, she caught the attention of many people.

The series of battles that followed was even more shocking. That dragon was so powerful!

This young girl was actually an expert who had concealed her strength!
