The academy's reception was similar to a commercial hotel. Aside from living here, there were also places for people to practice magic and martial arts. There were also several meeting rooms.
This meeting room wasn't the kind of meeting room that most people would think of with a round table. Instead, it was more like a classroom. One person stood at the front like a teacher, while the others sat below like a student.
At this time, Xin Pu was standing at the front while Zhao Hai and the others sat at the bottom. Besides Zhao Hai and Margaret, Jin Jingji also brought the people from Adam's Ascension Academy. Aside from their group of seven, there was also a group of five people. These five people were dressed as warriors, they were people from the Wasteland Ascension Academy.
Just like Margaret said, the people from the Wasteland Ascension Academy were very polite to them. When they entered the meeting room, the leader of the Wasteland Ascension Academy gave a polite greeting to Margaret and chatted for a bit.
After the group sat down, Xin Pu pointed at the wall behind him. A map immediately appeared on the wall. This map was densely packed with mining tunnels, looking at it would make people dizzy.
Fortunately, there was a green line passing through the dense network of tunnels. Inside the tunnel, there was a large tunnel. Inside the tunnel, there was a red dot that indicated the location of the tunnel.
Xin Pu looked at the map, then he pointed at the red line and said, "This is an old tunnel in Tairu Planet's 9th mine. This old tunnel has been visited by evil spirits before. Therefore, we would often send people to check it. As long as an evil spirit appears, we would immediately notify the other academies and have them send people to eliminate it. "
At this point, Xin Pu pointed towards the red dot and said, "This mine is a place where evil spirits and other creatures often appear. We don't know what's going on there, but we know that evil spirits and other undead would appear there. Sometimes, there would also be some mutant magic beasts. This time, there were five evil spirits and no less than a hundred undead. We didn't discover anything else, but we can't rule out other dangers."
Margaret gently knit her brows and said, "Mister Simpson, how often do you go to the mine to take a look? Why are there so many evil spirits there? "
Xin Pu immediately replied, "We go there once a month. Those evil spirits aren't necessarily born there. Some of them were born in other tunnels and then went there. The tunnel is very big, and the dark energy is very dense. It's very suitable for undead to live in. I think it's because of this reason that evil spirits often appear there."
Margaret nodded and said, "Then this time's trial will be a team operation?"
Xin Pu shook his head and said, "This isn't something this old man can manage. It's up to your respective academies. If you want to participate in a team trial, then you can do it. If you don't, then you can do it alone."
Margaret frowned and said, "Aren't those Evil Ghosts still in the mine? If you don't participate in a team trial, then why don't you do it? "
Xin Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Margaret, I think you misunderstood. The area of the mine is very big, it's not smaller than a mining city. Moreover, it was originally planned to build a mining city. Therefore, there are a lot of small mines, some of which are connected to other mines. It can be said that it's a maze. When you go there, the first thing you need to do is to find the evil spirits. If you go there as a team, then the chances of finding them will be lower. However, it's safer. If you go alone, then the chances of finding the evil spirits wouldn't be much higher, but it's more dangerous."
But if you go there alone, then it's much more dangerous. "Upon hearing Xin Pu, Margaret and the others understood what he meant. Whether it was Xin Pu or Margaret, they were very clear that once you enter the tunnel, then your enemies wouldn't only be the evil spirits, there would also be other participants. Because of this, the danger would be greatly increased.
At this time, Jin Jingji coldly snorted and said, "Some people see that they're alone, so they want to borrow other people's strength to pass the trial. How can there be such a good thing? Our Adam's Ascension Academy has six people, so we can form a small team to pass the trial. Others shouldn't even think about coming in."
Margaret's eyes flashed with anger, but she didn't act on the spot. She just asked because she wanted to form a team. A team trial was different from a single trial. In a team trial, you couldn't attack your teammates at will. Margaret didn't know how strong Zhao was right now, but in her opinion, Zhao's strength was at most at the level of a first level mage. Being able to superimpose five layers in such a short time was already a great achievement. With such strength, if they didn't form a team, then it would be too dangerous for them to enter the mine.
Now that Jin Jingji said this, even if she wanted to form a team, it would be impossible. She couldn't help but sigh. Zhao Hai was the most talented person that the Bone Symbol Camp had seen in many years. She really didn't want Zhao Hai to die because of this.
Margaret sighed. She wanted to stop Zhao Hai from participating in this trial. However, this was impossible. Once a person participates in a trial, they can't withdraw. Even if they take the initiative to admit defeat, it was still impossible.
Margaret was also secretly blaming herself for not doing things properly. She didn't investigate which academy would be participating in this trial. She didn't expect to meet an opponent like Adam Academy. This time, she feared that Zhao Hai's luck would be more bad than good.
But now that things have reached this point, she couldn't back down. Margaret coldly snorted as she stood up and walked towards the Ascension Academy. She looked at the instructor and said, "Mister Dan, how are you? Our two academies will form a joint team. What do you think?" The instructor smiled and said, "What do you think?"
When the Wasteland Ascension Academy's teacher heard Margaret, he couldn't help but stare. Then he couldn't help but look at Jin Changji. If it was any other time, he would've agreed. After all, this time, Warriors and Mages would be able to display a lot of power.
However, this time, the Adam's Academy had sent six people while the Wasteland Ascension Academy only had five people. Moreover, the Adam Academy and the Odd Ancient Academy had a grudge against each other. If the Wasteland Ascension Academy and the Odd Ancient Academy were to join forces, then they would be attacked by the Adam Academy. Because of this, the Wasteland Ascension Academy hesitated.
When Margaret saw Dan's expression, her heart couldn't help but sink. She immediately understood what the Wasteland Ascension Academy's teacher was thinking. Margaret couldn't hate him, so she nodded and said, "Teacher Dan, it's fine." Then she turned around and walked back, causing Jin Changji to ridicule her.
Zhao Hai looked at Jin Changji, then he turned to Margaret and whispered, "Teacher, if too many people die in the mine, will there be trouble?"
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but stare. She turned to look at Zhao Hai and saw that Zhao Hai was still smiling. She couldn't see any change in his expression. Margaret's heart couldn't help but turn cold.
When Zhao Hai said those words, Margaret knew that Zhao Hai wanted to kill. However, Zhao Hai didn't reveal any killing intent, it was as if he was just chatting with a friend. This was enough to show that Zhao Hai was a person who killed people like flies.
Killing people didn't mean that the more people you kill, the stronger your killing intent. If you kill one person, your killing intent would increase. If you kill a hundred people, your killing intent would increase. If you kill a hundred people, your killing intent would increase. Most people would be intimidated by your killing intent and would tremble in fear. But if you kill ten thousand people, then you would learn how to hide your killing intent. Even when you kill people, you wouldn't reveal any killing intent.
It can be said that if a person can hide their killing intent well, then they can be called a butcher. Moreover, a ten thousand person butcher!
Although Margaret had seen a lot of people from the lower realms who killed people like flies, they were still far from reaching the level of a ten thousand person butcher. Because of this, it was impossible for them to hide their killing intent. The only ten thousand person Margaret had seen was a core member of the Ashley Family. He went to the Six Realms Battlefield for many years and came back with great strength. Even so, when he was angry, he would still reveal his killing intent. It was impossible for him to completely hide his killing intent like Zhao Hai.
This meant that Zhao Hai had killed more than ten thousand people!
This number was too terrifying. What did it mean for a person to kill ten thousand people? An average person would have already turned into a killing maniac. But Zhao Hai lived like a normal person. He even gave people the impression that he was very bright. Such a person was too terrifying. He was a completely abnormal person.
Zhao didn't think that his casual question would actually make Margaret think of him as a pervert. If he knew that Margaret had such thoughts, he didn't know if he would have asked the same question or not.
Margaret's mind turned, but she still whispered, "No, even if you kill those people, there wouldn't be any trouble." Zhao Hai nodded and didn't say anything.
At this time, Xin Pu looked at Margaret with sympathy. Then he turned his head to the others and said, "There are more than ten routes to the mine. Do you want to go together or separately?"
Although Margaret knew that Zhao Hai had killed a lot of people, she was still worried about his strength. So she opened her mouth and said, "We'll go alone." Xin Pu nodded, then he looked at the Adam and Wilderness Academies. The two academies also chose to go alone.
Xin Pu nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask the three of you to prepare. I'll also ask you to bring some food. I'll also arrange three vehicles for the three of you. When you're done with the trial, you can sit in the vehicles and come back. Although we can't see what's going on down there, the scouts have already set up an alarm. As long as you eliminate the evil spirits and undead, the alarm will stop and we'll inform you that the trial is over. You have three hours to prepare. After three hours, please come back here and I'll send you down."
