Lu Ming followed the large group out of the Mystic Essence Sword Sect and headed towards the Secluded Night Mountain Range.
Thousands of people ran on the road, stirring up clouds of dust.
The Mystic Essence Sword Sect was a full two hundred miles away from the Secluded Night Mountain Range. Although everyone was a martial artist who had awakened their bloodline and their cultivation was not weak, after running for two hundred miles, many of them were still sweating profusely and panting like oxen.
Lu Ming was fine. Although he was a little out of breath, he had not reached his limit.
When they arrived at the periphery of the Secluded Night Mountain Range, they found that the people from the White Tiger Hall had already arrived.
There were a total of 1,500 people in the White Tiger Hall, nearly 500 more than the Vermillion Bird Hall.
In recent years, the White Tiger Hall had become stronger and stronger, becoming the strongest among the four halls. Therefore, most people chose to join the White Tiger Hall.
"Alright, you guys take a rest first."
Xie Kuang called out.
Everyone sat cross-legged and meditated.
Rumble!
After a while, the earth rumbled. The Azure Dragon Hall and the Black Tortoise Hall had arrived.
Lu Ming observed for a while and found that the Azure Dragon Hall had about 1,300 people, the Black Tortoise Hall had about 1,200 people, and the Vermillion Bird Hall had the least, only about 1,000 people.
The four halls added up to about 5,000 people.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the sky. A few figures flew over from afar.
Yes, they were flying in the air without riding on other flying beasts.
"It's a Martial Ancestor Realm expert!"
There was a burst of exclamations as everyone looked at the sky enviously.
Only when a martial artist reached the Martial Ancestor Realm could they fly in the air and soar in the Nine Heavens.
Lu Ming also looked at the sky enviously, revealing a yearning look.
Who wouldn't yearn to soar in the Nine Heavens like a goshawk, overlooking the mountains and rivers?
"One day, I will reach such a realm!" Lu Ming clenched his fist with all his might.
There were a total of three figures, and they were very fast. In a few breaths, they were above everyone's head and suspended in the air.
They were three gray-haired old men wearing silver robes. They were the silver-robed elders of the Mystic Essence Sword Sect.
"Now, I will announce the rules of this trial."
As soon as they arrived, the silver-robed elder in the middle announced loudly.
"This time, on some of the beasts in the Secluded Night Mountain Range, we hung an iron plate with points engraved on it, namely one point, two points, five points, and ten points. These are the four types."
"Among them, there are a total of 5,000 one-point iron plates, which are distributed to Class 1 Lv 1 to Class 6 Lv 1."
"There are a total of two thousand iron plates, which are on Class One Seventh Stage to Class One Ninth Stage."
"There are 400 pieces of five-point iron plates and 200 pieces of ten-point iron plates. These two types of iron plates can only be found on Class 1 to Class 3 Lv 2 demonic beasts."
"This time, as long as you get 10 points, you will pass and be promoted to a bronze disciple. The duration of the trial is 20 days. After 20 days, come back here and check your results."
"Does ten points count as passing?"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered.
Ten points didn't seem like much, but it was extremely difficult.
The strength of demonic beasts was not something that ordinary beasts could compare to.
A Level 1 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Martial Soldier.
A Rank 2 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Martial Master.
Every Level 1 Demonic Beast was divided into nine levels, which corresponded to a Martial Master's realm.
The five-point and ten-point iron plates were on Class 2 Demonic Beasts. Ordinary newcomers couldn't get their hands on them.
Therefore, those below the Martial Master Realm could only get one-point and two-point iron plates.
According to the silver-robed elder, 5,000 for one point, 2,000 for two points. Even if all the five-point and ten-point iron plates were added together, the total score would be 13,000 points.
13,000 points divided by 10. That was to say, on average, only 1,300 people would pass.
Out of 5,000 people, only 1,300 people could pass on average. It could be imagined that the competition this time would be extremely fierce.
"Furthermore, the rewards this time around are also very generous."
The silver-robed elder continued to announce, "This time, the first place will be rewarded with 5,000 Sect Contribution Points and a Spirit-condensing Fruit."
"The second place will be rewarded with 4,000 Sect Contribution Points."
"The third place will be rewarded with 3,000 Sect Contribution Points."
"The fourth place to the tenth place will be rewarded with 1,000 Sect Contribution Points."
"The eleventh place to the hundredth place will also have a corresponding reward. Lastly, I might as well tell you that this time, there will be a five-point iron plate. As for which Demonic Beast it is on, it will depend on you to find it. Alright, that's all for the rules. You can all rest for a while and set off. "
As soon as he said that, the entire place was in an uproar.
The main thing was that the rewards were too tempting.
The Mystic Essence Sword Sect's Contribution Points could be exchanged for anything in the Mystic Essence Sword Sect, such as Elixirs, Spiritual Weapons, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Heavenly Treasures, etc.
One Contribution Point was equivalent to 100 taels of silver. The first place would be rewarded with 5,000 Contribution Points, which was equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver.
Who wouldn't be tempted?
"Spirit-condensing Fruit!"
Compared to the Contribution Points, the Spirit-condensing Fruit was also tempting to Lu Ming.
The Spirit-condensing Fruit could be used by ordinary Martial Artists to condense their True Qi and increase their cultivation.
However, it was more useful for Lu Ming.
If he wanted to cultivate to the second level of the True Dragon Art, his True Qi would be three times denser than ordinary True Qi. He would need to use several extremely precious and rare materials.
The Spirit-condensing Fruit was one of the most precious materials.
"I must obtain the Spirit-condensing Fruit!"
Lu Ming's eyes revealed a burning light.
Not only Lu Ming, but some of the powerful geniuses among the five thousand people also revealed a strong desire.
"You must be Lu Ming?"
At this moment, a clear voice sounded out.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl wearing a swordsman's robe revealed her proud figure without a doubt.
She had a ponytail and a sword on her back. She had a heroic spirit.
"You are?" Looking at the girl, Lu Ming frowned.
He did not know the other party, but the other party recognized him. Could it be that she was sent by the Duan Mu Family?
As if seeing through Lu Ming's worries, the girl smiled and said: "Lu Ming, my name is Feng Wu. Sister Moulins told me to look for you."
"Moulins!" Lu Ming's eyes lit up, he let down his guard and said: "Miss Feng Wu is looking for me, I wonder why you are looking for me?"
"Sister Moulins said that this time, the Duan Mu Family might deal with you in the trial, so she told me to form a team with you. This way, we can take care of each other. How about it, let's move together?"
Feng Wu said.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright!"
He had absolute trust in Moulins. Furthermore, he had just arrived at the Mystic Essence Sword Sect, so he was not very clear about the situation in the Mystic Essence Sword Sect.
"That's great. Our team still has three people. Let me introduce you."
Feng Wu laughed and turned to walk back. Lu Ming followed.
On the side of a huge rock, there were three youths leaning against it.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Lu Ming, our new member."
Arriving in front of the three of them, Feng Wu pointed at Lu Ming and introduced him.
Then, he pointed to the two tall and skinny youths and introduced them, "Lu Ming, this is Zhou Hao, Zhou Xu."
Zhou Hao and Zhou Xu nodded their heads indifferently as a form of greeting.
"Lu Ming, this is Yuan Chong."
Feng Wu pointed to the last rather handsome young man and said.
"Feng Wu, why did you pull everyone into the team? I don't want someone to drag us down."
