"Hmm?"
Diqiong was about to leave the nest when it sensed something. It turned around and looked at Su Ping, only to see that the sword light had disappeared. Diqiong was confused. Just then, Diqiong seemed to have sensed a strange power. It was something that Diqiong was still trying to learn …
It should be an illusion …
Diqiong shook its head. Su Ping was much weaker than Diqiong. There was no way he could have unleashed that kind of power. Diqiong must have been mistaken.
"Let's go."
Diqiong was the first to fly out of the nest. At the same time, Su Ping was pulled out of the nest as well.
Just like before, Diqiong took Su Ping to the trial grounds.
Su Ping stood quietly in the golden cube. In his eyes, the golden cube was no longer indestructible. He had a feeling that if he attacked with all his strength, he could break it!
However, there was no need for him to do such a thing.
At this moment, with his hands behind his back, Su Ping surveyed the surrounding ancient trees. Between the gaps of the giant leaves, he could see an incomparably vast scenery. Su Ping had no doubt that if he randomly plucked a hundred leaves from this giant tree, the area formed would be comparable to the surface area of the entire Blue Star!
However, compared to this ancient tree, a hundred leaves were not even worth mentioning. It was like a chestnut in the vast ocean.
Magnificent and powerful.
Su Ping felt that his mind had become wider, and he had a wonderful experience.
…
"This human …"
On a branch, three Golden Crows in the Heavenly Ascension Level sat there. Their vision pierced through the universe and time, as if they could see the past and the future. Their divine eyes reflected endless divine light, making it impossible to look directly at them.
At this moment, the Golden Crow Grand Elder sitting in the middle had a gleam in its eyes. It looked through the layers of clouds and leaves and saw a wisp of dark sword Qi disappear from the tiny figure's fingertip.
"His aptitude is passable …"
The First Elder nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
…
…
"Are they all here for the trial?"
Su Ping asked.
He followed Diqiong out of the nest and into the leaf that was as large as ten base cities combined. Su Ping saw a large number of "tiny" Golden Crows in the gaps between the leaves.
Even though they were small, they were still as large as battleships. If they were on the Blue Star, they would be able to crush the average beast kings.
Around these Golden Crows, there were other Golden Crows that were almost as large as super Golden Crows. They accompanied these "small" Golden Crows to the top of the ancient tree.
Combined with this trial, Su Ping immediately guessed that they were most likely the young Golden Crows that participated in this trial.
"That's right. They're all your opponents. I'll instruct them to beat you up."
Diqiong darted a glance at Su Ping and said calmly, "That's right.
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you bully me with numbers?"
Diqiong snorted. "Who wants to bully you? We won't do that to you."
Su Ping couldn't be bothered to talk to Diqiong. He continued to enjoy the magnificent view of the Golden Crows.
Golden Crows of all sizes were arriving from outside the ancient tree. Looking from the distance, it was as if there were countless rays of golden light rushing over. It was a magnificent sight.
Even the young Golden Crows were almost invincible among the legendary battle pet warriors, not to mention the adult Golden Crows.
That was the ancient race of the Mythical Realm. They were terrifyingly powerful.
"The trial …"
Su Ping was even more determined. For the Little Skeleton's sake, he had to pass the trial!
…
At the top of the ancient tree, under the canopy.
The Golden Crows were standing on the tree trunk where the elders lived. Many Golden Crows were standing on the leaves. The Golden Crows that were allowed to stay on the tree trunk were of high status. The average Golden Crows could only fly in the air with their naughty children.
Even though they were children, Su Ping regarded them as formidable opponents.
Diqiong took Su Ping to the tree where the elders were waiting and stood by their feet.
Diqiong's arrival had attracted the attention of many Golden Crows. Some of the Golden Crows that brushed past Diqiong made way for her. The Golden Crows in the distance were attracted by Su Ping who was pulling Diqiong. It was the first time they had seen such a "strange" creature. Is that His Highness's snack?
"Mother, what is that? It doesn't taste good."
A young Golden Crow asked the giant Golden Crow beside him.
The giant Golden Crow poked the head of the young Golden Crow with a feather at the tip of its wing. "Be quiet and listen to the elders. If you don't pass the trial this time, I will break your third leg!"
…
Standing in the clouds, the Chief Elder looked down at all the Golden Crows. He saw Diqiong and Su Ping but he didn't pay any attention to them. He looked around and when almost all the Golden Crows had arrived, the Chief Elder said, "The awakening trial will begin now. All participants, gather in front of me."
The Chief Elder's voice echoed from the top of the tree to almost half of the tree.
The surrounding Golden Crows all heard it, and they willingly submitted to this majestic voice.
Some of the adult Golden Crows lowered their heads to show their respect and obedience. As soon as the Chief Elder finished speaking, the Golden Crows urged their children to gather in front of the Chief Elder. Su Ping felt that the Golden Crows were like parents who were sending their children to school. All of a sudden, he felt that the Golden Crows weren't that remote.
The Golden Crows weren't just powerful cold creatures; they were also living beings with flesh and blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Golden Crows flew over from all directions.
Those Golden Crows were "small" and they landed on the tree trunk behind Diqiong and Su Ping. The wind they stirred up messed up Su Ping's hair.
The young Golden Crows landed one after another. Some of the Golden Crows were intimidating and some of them attracted a lot of attention.
"It's Her Highness Diqiong!"
"Her Highness has the Ancestor's bloodline!"
"Chirp, chirp ~!"
Some of the young Golden Crows were attracted to Diqiong as soon as they landed. There was admiration in their eyes. Some of the Golden Crows were afraid to look at Diqiong in the eyes.
"It's the He family!"
"The Qiong family!"
Diqiong turned around to look at the young Golden Crows. But it wasn't sizing them up or admiring them. It was as if the Golden Crows were choosing their new clothes.
Su Ping remembered what Diqiong had said. The Golden Crows that achieved first place in the trial had a chance to become its Imperial Guard. All of a sudden, he felt sorry for those young Golden Crows.
Diqiong suddenly looked away and said to Su Ping, "If you can make it to the end of the comprehensive trial, you'd better not run into them. Otherwise, you'll die a miserable death!"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows. Was that a reminder?
But for some reason, he felt like he was being mocked.
"That's the He family over there. She's the most talented of her generation. She has a chance to win first place and join my Imperial Guard." Diqiong pointed in a direction to Su Ping.
Su Ping turned his head, only to be at a loss.
They were both Golden Crows and they were about the same size. Which one was Diqiong talking about?
"Can't you find her? She's talking about the average-looking one," Diqiong said after seeing Su Ping's look.
Su Ping was still confused.
Average-Looking?
To him, those Golden Crows were all average-looking. What was the difference between them and a chicken farm? He could even tell that some of the chickens had different feathers. But those Golden Crows … were all golden in color. There wasn't a single strand of hair of any other color. How was he supposed to identify them?!
"That's the Qiong family over there. You'd better not mess with them." Diqiong looked at another Golden Crow.
That Golden Crow sensed Diqiong's gaze. The other Golden Crows around it reacted the same way. They all felt that … Diqiong was looking at them.
Birds had three illusions …
Su Ping turned around and saw that the young Golden Crows were lowering their heads, as if they were shy …
"Ha, ha …"
Su Ping curled his lips. He could tell that Diqiong was giving him a friendly reminder. He didn't know why Diqiong would do that … but what good would it do?!
"I have bird blindness," Su Ping said to Diqiong.
Diqiong looked at him in confusion.
Su Ping wanted to explain but realized that he shouldn't. The Golden Crows didn't want to know that they were birds in his eyes.
At this moment, the void in front of the Golden Crow Grand Elder suddenly rippled and a space slowly opened. Inside the space was an ancient field. There were stone pillars that reached the sky, and there were huge golden crows carved on them. Above the field, there was a bridge formed by clouds.
On the other side of the bridge was a small field. The edge of the field was a bottomless abyss of darkness.
There were a lot of rubble in this place, and they were all incomparably huge.
"Go in, children," the Chief Elder said in a majestic voice.
Everyone went into an uproar.
The young Golden Crows were all chirping. Su Ping felt as if his eardrums were being pierced. Then, he heard the sound of wings flapping and the wind blowing.
Many young Golden Crows were shot out from the gathering place. They turned into streaks of golden light and flew toward the whirlpool in the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless Golden Crows shot into the training field like golden arrows.
Each of the young Golden Crows was as majestic as a warship. Su Ping's eyes were filled with golden light. He was astonished by what he was seeing.
Just the entrance to the Fiendgod Race's trial was magnificent to the extreme!
In the blink of an eye, many Golden Crows had already entered the trial field. At the end, there were only a dozen or so Golden Crows left. Among the huge Golden Crows that were watching from the outside, some of them were clearly anxious and lamenting. Apparently, there were their cubs among the Golden Crows that were lagging behind.
"Sh * t, I forgot. I haven't gone in yet!"
Su Ping came back to his senses and slapped his head.
Diqiong glared at him. "You won't be able to run around without my permission. The Chief Elder said that he will open up a separate world for you. What are you so anxious about?"
"Well …"
All of a sudden, Su Ping remembered that the Chief Elder had indeed said something similar.
"You will die ten thousand times if you have to take the trial with them!" Diqiong snorted. "The Chief Elder is protecting you, for the sake of fairness, and also out of respect for the Heaven Master behind you!"
Su Ping understood and was no longer in a hurry. He asked, "Then, it's not based on time, is it?"
"Of course. The first trial is about strength. It has nothing to do with time. But the speed at which you enter the field can tell something. The strong ones are fast and strong, and the weak ones …" Diqiong snorted but didn't go on.
Su Ping was relieved.
At this moment, he saw that the Golden Crows that had flown into the training field were all diving into the piles of rocks in the field.
Those piles of rocks were huge; some of them were several times bigger than the Golden Crows.
While Su Ping was watching, a Golden Crow suddenly grabbed a rock of its own size and flapped its wings to fly away. But it was obviously having a hard time flying.
Even so, the giant Golden Crows watching from the surroundings let out a series of squeaks, as if they were a little stunned.
"What is the trial?" Su Ping looked at Diqiong in confusion.
Diqiong said proudly, "I told you that the first trial is a test of strength. Of course, whoever is stronger, can grab the biggest boulder, and can fly it to the other side. That will be the best result. If both parties have the same number of boulders, then we'll see who's faster."
Su Ping opened his eyes wide.
That's it?
That's too simple and crude!
Are all ancient gods and demons so careless?
"Humans!"
Right then, the Chief Elder said, "For the sake of fairness, I have created a separate field for you. I believe you already know how the trial is going to be. You may go now."
As the Chief Elder said that, a swirl slowly appeared next to the Golden Crows. The scene in the swirl was similar to the one in the Golden Crows' field, but the size was much smaller.
The Golden Crows that were watching the trial looked at the Chief Elder in surprise. Then, they looked at Su Ping who was standing behind Diqiong. Su Ping was the only one out of the ordinary at the moment.
"Thank you, Chief Elder."
Su Ping nodded and thanked the Chief Elder. The Chief Elder was being fair because of the Heaven Master behind him. Still, he was grateful that the Chief Elder was being so considerate.
"Go ahead," Diqiong said. It turned around and sneered at Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't know what to say about the flip-flopping bird. The bird had given him a friendly reminder and then, it didn't even want to talk to him. He couldn't understand it.
Whoosh!
Without further ado, Su Ping withdrew his thoughts and flew directly to the void trial ground.
The trial was about the materials and the Little Skeleton. He couldn't afford to be distracted.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had entered the trial ground.
"It's so heavy!"
As soon as he entered the trial ground, Su Ping felt his body was sinking and he almost fell to the ground. But his body reacted quickly and he steadied himself before he could think.
Su Ping turned around. He could vaguely see what was going on outside from the entrance, but it was like looking at water from the bottom of a lake.
"The gravity here is a dozen times stronger than outside." Su Ping said to himself. Apart from the gravity, there was no astral power to be absorbed. The more he used, the more he would lose.
