The sun gradually set in the west. The sunlight shone on the Alkaid Peak.
There were more and more newcomers reaching the peak. Some of them cracked it by themselves, some of them worked together, but most of them still couldn't break through the end of the disappearance even after using all their means. They, who had exhausted their soul power, were finally brought to the top of the Alkaid Peak.
Many groups of twenty-eight had already finished their trials. The Alioth Peak students who led them had also reached the peak. They exchanged opinions with the students who had watched the entire trial. They wanted to give the most accurate evaluation of every newcomer. Alioth Peak's style had always been this serious.
Thus, their discussion was open and aboveboard. They didn't hide it from anyone, including the newcomers at the peak. Those newcomers who couldn't walk out of the restriction were already dejected. But after hearing the discussion, they finally understood that walking out of the vanishing end was not the standard of evaluation. All of their efforts on the mountain path had been seen by everyone, and many of them had received good evaluations.
In a moment, the gloomy clouds on the peak dispersed. But this wasn't all. The North Style Academy's evaluation of the newcomers was still very strict. Those whose names weren't mentioned, or those whose evaluations were ordinary or not good, started to feel uneasy.
More and more people gathered at the peak. The students who were standing at the side of the mountain to watch the trial had all retreated. They finally stopped their discussion. Unknowingly, they were already standing in an orderly manner. The newcomers realized that the final moment had arrived. All of them stood there solemnly. The entire peak was in absolute silence.
This silence lasted for a while. The Alioth Peak students were the first to realize that something was wrong. Their teacher, Li Yaotian, was still standing at the side of the mountain without moving.
Everyone didn't understand. Student Chen Chu carefully walked behind Li Yaotian and said respectfully, "Teacher, everyone is here."
Before Li Yaotian could reply, a sneer came from the side. "Everyone is here? Chen Chu, to think that you are the head disciple of Alioth Peak. Are you blind? "
Chen Chu was startled. He didn't dare to question Ruan Qingzhu's judgment. Although he, the head disciple of Alioth Peak, had already reached the realm of Four Physical Links, his Four Physical Links was still worlds apart from the seven academicians. What was happening right now was the best proof. There were still people in the trial? He really didn't know anything.
"There's still someone else." Li Yaotian spoke up. "And they've gone very far."
Far?
Chen Chu was stunned for a moment before he disappeared at the end of the road. Does the word 'far' have any value? But he did not have time to think about this right now. He turned his head to look at the other Yu Heng students behind him. Most of them were leading the way. It was precisely because they had all returned to the summit that they thought all the groups' trials had ended. So it turned out that someone had actually returned without completing everyone's trial?
"Which group has someone else?" Chen Chu asked.
The students looked at each other. They were all shaking their heads. Then, everyone's gaze turned to one of them, including Chen Chu, who followed everyone else's gaze.
"What are you all looking at me for?" Feng Liuyun suddenly became unhappy, "Could it be that someone in my group fell behind?"
"Let's go take a look," Chen Chu said calmly, but he had already made up his mind. Only Feng Liuyun, who entered the North Style Academy and became the student of the Seventh Academician, would have such a foolish thing happen. Is there anyone else?
Feng Liuyun was somewhat unwilling to accept this. He took the list of twenty-eight names and went to take a roll call. When he reached Zhongzimu, no one answered. His heart immediately thumped. The other students all had the same expression on their faces. They knew it would be like this.
"There's still one more person. He might not be in my group." Feng Liuyun still wanted to quibble and continued to take a roll call. Along the way, there were people who answered. He felt proud of himself. Finally, he reached the last one.
"Lu Ping." Feng Liuyun had already prepared a victorious smile. In the end, no one answered again.
"Lu Ping, Lu Ping, Lu Ping." He repeated it three more times. Still no one answered. Feng Liuyun finally accepted his fate. He turned his head and revealed an awkward smile to everyone. Chen Chu glared at him and returned to Li Yaotian's side. "Teacher, these two …"
"They wouldn't have died on the road, right?"
"If they were slightly weaker, it might be possible!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
The newcomers discussed in whispers. The newcomers in Feng Liuyun's group were certain of this. Zi Mu and Lu Ping, weren't they the two with the weakest strength in their group? They could not have lasted until now. It was most likely that they had used up all their energy and collapsed in some inconspicuous place. They might have died … … that was possible.
Walking in the Vanishing End was not the same as walking on a long road. A normal long and arduous journey was nothing for xiuzhe. But in the Vanishing End, walking was fighting against mutant abilities. The power of the soul was constantly being used up. Those who collapsed from exhaustion and had no energy, it was not just a problem of stamina. How could there be anyone who could hold on until now? The newcomers who understood what this trial was all about all thought so.
But Wei Ling and his three companions did not think so. The two slaps that Lu Ping had slapped Wei Ling had left a deep impression on them. They could not see through Lu Ping's strength, but they did not think that Lu Ping would collapse like this. Even though Wei Ling would be very happy if that was the case.
The four of them had completely different appearances. But Wei Ling quickly found that there were people among the newcomers that had the same expression as them. There were two people in their group.
What did they know?
With this thought in mind, Wei Ling moved closer.
"You two, do you recognize those two?" he asked.
"No, but we've heard of that Lu Ping," one person answered.
"In our Xuan Army Empire, there are probably very few people that have not heard of this name," the other person said.
"Really? He is? "Wei Ling's heart sank slightly. This Lu Ping was a famous person with some background? Then his desire for revenge would probably be hard to achieve?
"He is a wanted criminal of the entire country. The Law Arrest Bureau personally ordered for all eleven districts to hunt him down," one person said.
Wei Ling's mouth instantly formed an O shape. He had never thought that Lu Ping would be famous because of this, because he was wanted by the entire country?
"What did he do?" Wei Ling asked.
"He killed the entire Zhiling District Academy Supervisor," one person said.
"There seem to be some survivors?" the other person said.
"They're just some small fries. I don't want to kill them."
"No, there are survivors in the commander's office. I know that," this person said with certainty.
"And the entire Xiabong Castellan family," the other person said.
"No, no, you're exaggerating again. According to what I know, it's not the entire family, just the city lord and some of his subordinates," the other person corrected again.
"That's about it!" The other person didn't argue and nodded.
"This person is very savage. Be careful when you face him," the other person said to Wei Ling.
"I … I …" Wei Ling wanted to cry. It was already too late! He had already offended Lu Ping in the trial. And he'd thought of revenge afterwards. It turned out that he'd managed to escape with his life back then!
"What's wrong?" Wei Ling's three companions saw Wei Ling's ashen face and hurriedly asked.
"That Lu Ping …" Wei Ling took a deep breath. "He's a devil."
"What?" The other three's expressions changed.
"He's a wanted criminal of the Xuan Army Empire. A Academy Supervisor's branch and a city lord's office, a district lord's office, were all killed by him." As Wei Ling spoke, he felt that the peak of Alkaid Peak was a little cold.
The other three were dumbfounded when they heard this. They only rejoiced that they hadn't interfered and helped. Let's not guess how strong that Lu Ping was, but at least he was savage!
The newcomers discussed Lu Ping and Zi Mu. Chen Chu was also asking Li Yaotian for advice on what to do. He also didn't think that any newcomer could last this long in the Vanishing End. He asked Li Yaotian if he wanted to go see them.
"No." Li Yaotian shook his head. "They're still continuing."
"Still continuing?" Chen Chu was surprised. He went out of the mountain and looked towards the mountain path of Alkaid Peak. He finally found the two figures. One was carrying the other, walking up the mountain path.
"Could it be that these two still don't know what this trial is about?" Seeing this, Chen Chu could only guess.
