When the last second reached zero, the trial was over.
The winners were selected.
Su Lingyue, who had been "hiding her strength," was one of them. She had accumulated a lot of points and was ranked fifth!
Luo Fengtian was one of them. He was the only one of the 10 who didn't have a Dream Stone. He had made it to the Top 10 purely on his own. He was ranked seventh with 36 points!
Luo Fengtian had killed one third of the participants!
His performance had caught many people's attention and left a deep impression on them. Luo Fengtian was listed as a dangerous opponent. He was at least among the Top 50!
Apart from Luo Fengtian and Su Lingyue, the other eight participants were powerful as well. Some of them were from the Ye family, the Liu family, and the Qin Family.
Some of them were core members of their families with high social status. Some of them were born of concubines and were not well-known. Once they made a name for themselves, they would cause a sensation!
The first trial came to an end when the ten participants were selected.
The participants who had made it to the next round were cheered and applauded. They walked off the stage in front of everyone.
Those who had failed left the stage in disappointment. Some of them would find the ones who had killed them in the crowd and glared at them.
Luo Fengtian was the most conspicuous one among the participants. Most people were giving him unkind looks.
However, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.
Su Lingyue, on the other hand, was relieved. When she learned that she had advanced to the next level, she felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest. She was thrilled.
As Su Lingyue left the stage, Su Ping felt that he had to teach her about the Moonfrost Dragon's abilities. That way, she wouldn't be held back by her excessive caution in the following matches.
"Congratulations, Brother Su." Qin Shuhai congratulated Su Ping with a smile.
"The Qin Family is good as well. You have many talents," Su Ping said.
Qin Shuhai smiled.
At this moment, the second round of the trial began.
It was another round of 100.
With the experience of the first round, this time, no one attacked the people around them in the ancient battlefield. They all waited quietly.
This time, they were going to fight on a plain instead of a forest. There were small patches of trees for them to hide in. There were swamps and boulders on the plain.
Every battle map was different to ensure fairness.
Since Su Lingyue had made it to the next round, Su Ping lost interest in the following matches. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Qin Shuhai felt a little helpless when he saw Su Ping's reaction. He had wanted to accompany Su Ping to watch the young master of the Qin Family fight, so that Su Ping could understand the talent of the young master of the Qin Family.
However, Su Ping did not seem to care about this at all.
Was he really that confident?
Time flew by.
As the trials came to an end, the audience erupted into cheers and exclamations from time to time.
In these trials, many ferocious characters emerged. In one of the trials, a single person killed nearly seventy people and snatched five Dreamland Stones. The number of points he obtained was the highest. Even among the ten trials, he was ranked the highest and attracted a lot of attention.
"The Young Master of the Ye Clan is quite vicious!"
"It's not true but he must have offended many people by killing so many people."
"I heard that the Young Master of the Ye Clan is quite talented. If it weren't for this year's Elite League, he would have become an advanced battle pet warrior."
"A sixth-rank warrior with combat strength close to the ninth-rank. What kind of freak is he?"
In the staging area, people were discussing.
The Mu Family disciples were led by a young man in the middle. He was the current Young Master of the Mu Family, a few years younger than the Young Master of the Ye Clan. Clearly, he was not planning to achieve a high ranking this year. He was only there to gain experience.
"This year, the Ye Clan and the Qin Family will have a lot to compete with each other," a disciple of the Mu Family said.
The previous generation of the Mu Family had won the championship. In this generation, Mu Chen had just graduated from the academy. He was not yet ready to fight for the championship.
Every dog had its day. The Mu Family did not expect to win the championship again.
"That Liu Jianxin of the Liu Family is not bad. He is not the Young Master but he is a talent of the Liu Family," Mu Chen said calmly while sitting in the middle.
His goal was to make it to the Top 10. However, he still looked down on those who could make it to the Top 5 or even the Top 3.
Because he was the Young Master of the Mu Family.
In three more years, his goal would be to win the championship in the next Elite League!
In the meantime, in the Liu family's area.
"Brother Jianxin, that is Su Lingyue. She is quite pretty," a disciple of the Liu family said with a smile.
Liu Jianxin, who was sitting in the middle, said calmly, "Don't underestimate her. I don't think that dragon has exerted its full strength."
"It doesn't matter. I think the dragon is at the eighth-rank at best, just as the Family Head speculated. That girl is weak. Once we finish her off, no pet can do anything."
"It is a pity that I didn't run into her. Otherwise, I would have sent her home to cry."
"Well, I was at the same stage as her but I couldn't find her."
"Okay, okay. Our real opponent this time is that guy from the Qin Family. Qin Shaotian's main battle pet hasn't been exposed yet. He has advanced to the next round with a secondary pet with a seventh-rank bloodline. I heard that he once killed a ninth-rank beast in the Mysterious Realm. I wonder if that's true."
"Ninth-rank? How is that possible? "
"Even if he did, he would have done it with the help of his family's elders. Where did you hear that?"
The disciples of the Liu family looked at the Qin Family with grave expressions. They didn't know if the news was true or not, but they were terrified by Qin Shaotian's performance.
What was terrifying was not his battle pet, but his control of the battle. His casual and artistic way of fighting was both magnificent and terrifying.
…
In the Qin Family's area.
A young man with a tall and straight figure was sitting in the middle of several disciples of the Qin Family. He didn't look away. Instead, he raised his head and gazed at the blue sky above the stage.
White clouds were drifting in the sky. He was enjoying the view.
"Young Master, the future family head of the Mu family is not fully grown yet. But his guardian is intimidating. He keeps a low profile but his combat strength is at least at the eighth-rank!"
"The same goes for the Liu family. Apart from their future family head, that Liu Jianxin is also strong. I heard that he is guaranteed to make it to the Top 5 this time."
"The 'dragon' of the Ye family is strong as well!"
The disciples of the Qin Family were reporting to Qin Shaotian.
But after they finished speaking, they saw that their young master was still looking up at the sky.
They also raised their heads to look, but they couldn't see anything.
They looked at each other and forced a bitter smile. One of them asked carefully, "Young Master, did you … hear what we said?"
Qin Shaotian closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again. "Do you see that sword?"
Sword?
The disciples looked up. There were only clouds in the sky. Where was the sword?
