Lu Ping did not linger in the Northern Mountains New Academy. He left under the astonished gazes of the crowd. He did not return to the Seven Star Trial immediately. Instead, he went to the cafeteria to eat something. Only then did he walk towards the Seven Star Trial Grounds.
Seven laps, six laps, five laps … …
As Lu Ping walked round after round, it could be seen that after an entire morning, the number of Northern Dipper Gate disciples had greatly decreased. Especially the outer circle. In this kind of constant competition, the number of disciples was the fastest. The seventh circle, which originally had the largest number of people and had the largest area, was now somewhat deserted.
But the further in he went, the more lively it became. After a period of survival of the fittest, the number of disciples who sought personal gain had dwindled. Those who remained were the strong ones.
Lu Ping went straight from the seventh circle to the fourth circle. If he continued forward, it would be the third circle. From then on, the Realm of the Four Physical Bodies would become the mainstream. Lu Ping could already detect the extraordinary soul power's sound in the third ring. The third ring's trial field had been customized, and it was much stronger than the fourth ring's.
As for the Northern Dipper Gate disciples in the third circle, a high proportion of them were dressed in the clothing of the seven peaks. They all looked very calm. No one was like the outer circle disciples who were impatiently looking for opponents. Everyone was quiet, each choosing a place to rest. They would talk to each other, but they did not seem to have any intention of challenging each other.
The outer circle was for offense, and the inner circle was for defense.
The outer circle disciples all wanted to obtain a higher position in the Seven Star List. This was not just a title, but it would also bring about a lot of cultivation resources from the North Style Academy. For example, the medicinal cuisine of the Medicinal Cuisine House, and the special ability collection of the Heavenly Pivot Building. Different people on the Seven Star List could enjoy and read different things. Lu Ping wanted to go to the Heavenly Pivot Building to read the special ability collection. The new disciples of the Northern Mountains New Academy were not qualified, but even if they were disciples of the seven peaks, without a position in the third circle of the Seven Star List, they would not be able to read the special ability collection of the level 6 special ability.
Therefore, for the inner circle disciples, it was better to continue moving up. The space was not big, so they had to first defend their position and ensure the benefits of the academy. This was the most important thing for them. Even in this year's Seven Star Trial. There was a vacancy among the seven academicians, and this news only stimulated the fighting spirit of the second circle. Even if the disciples of the third circle had this ambition, they would wait and see before making a decision.
Lu Ping did not stop at the fourth lap. Just like how he had passed through the other laps, he stepped straight into the third lap.
Numerous gazes fell on him. They immediately gathered on Lu Ping. Lu Ping didn't care, and he swept the surroundings with his gaze.
This place was only several hundred steps away from the Sevenstar Tower. There were very few people in the inner circle, and it wasn't very large either. With a single glance, apart from the Sevenstar Tower, one could see the entire second and third circles.
Several gazes swept over Lu Ping's body with their perception.
They could confirm that Lu Ping wasn't just passing by. He had brought enough Seven Star Orders with him. To be able to activate the Trial Grounds in the third circle, this was a character who had fought his way up from the fourth circle.
But when they wanted to further probe Lu Ping's strength, everyone revealed a confused expression.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
The powerhouses of the third circle all had at least one perception-type ability. They could probe the opponent and judge the situation. Perception-Type abilities had the least practical use in actual combat, but they were the most important support in actual combat. Cultivators without perception-type abilities were like blind people in actual combat.
But now, the powerhouses of the third circle. They used their own perception-type abilities to sweep over Lu Ping. Some of them even used one after another, but in the end, no one could determine Lu Ping's strength.
No, forget about strength. They couldn't even detect Lu Ping's courage. This guy who had just stepped into the third circle looked like a normal person who had never cultivated before.
What kind of ability was this to be able to hide so well?
The powerhouses of the third circle were all puzzled.
Lu Ping's gaze swept over the second circle. He wasn't choosing an opponent, he was looking for someone.
In the end, he still hadn't found the person he was looking for. However, his gaze met with a pair of eyes.
"Hey, why are you so late!" the owner of that gaze immediately shouted and flew toward Lu Ping.
Yan Xize.
He hadn't left yet. He had actually made it to the third circle and was waiting for Lu Ping to return.
Lu Ping was helpless. He could only stand there and wait for him to rush over. Yan Xize's shout attracted the attention of countless people. Many gazes turned to him and then to Lu Ping. Lu Ping hadn't found the person he was looking for, but that person saw him.
Lu Ping?
Sun Yingsheng was a little surprised. He, who had been sitting on the ground resting, immediately got up and walked over.
Yan Xize reached Lu Ping first, his face full of resentment.
"Have you eaten?" Lu Ping asked.
"Eat? What do you mean eat? Don't tell me you went to eat, "Yan Xize shouted.
"I ate while I was at it." Lu Ping nodded as if it was a matter of course. Shouldn't they be having lunch at this time?
"Now that you've had your fill, can you make your move?" Yan Xize asked.
"Wait a little longer," Lu Ping said. He had already seen Sun Yingsheng and was walking toward him.
"Sure!" Sun Yingsheng, who had walked up to Lu Ping, patted Lu Ping's shoulder vigorously.
Lu Ping smiled and sized up Sun Yingsheng.
Sun Yingsheng wanted to enter the second circle to challenge his sister. He couldn't be on the defensive like the other disciples in the inner circle. He had to take the initiative to seize the Seven Star Order. His hair was slightly messy, and his clothes were torn in many places. His left arm was simply bandaged and stained with blood.
It was already afternoon. Those in the third circle who wanted to advance had already had the whole morning to showcase their skills. Those who succeeded, failed, or gave up midway had basically all come to an end.
But Sun Yingsheng hadn't.
Sun Yingsheng had gone through several matches the whole morning, but he was still stuck in the third circle.
He didn't intend to give up, but his eyes had dimmed significantly. Even when he patted Lu Ping's shoulder hard and praised him, he couldn't erase the sadness in his eyes.
He wanted to challenge his sister, the first disciple of the seventh peak, who was at the top of the second circle. But now, he had spent the whole morning and hadn't even made it into the second circle.
With such strength, victory seemed very distant. Whether or not he could achieve this challenge had become an urgent problem for him.
So after patting Lu Ping's shoulder and saying that, he didn't say anything else.
"How many Seven Star Orders are you short of?" Lu Ping asked.
"Two," Sun Yingsheng answered instinctively. There were wins and losses in the matches the whole morning, and he still lacked two Seven Star Orders. But after answering, he realized that Lu Ping seemed to have sensed his goal by asking this.
"Senior Brother Huo Ying told me," Lu Ping said.
"Oh." Sun Yingsheng nodded, but revealed a bitter smile.
"So you should know how angry you can make me sometimes, right? I want to stay here and continue cultivating, but you don't seem to care about the academy, "Sun Yingsheng said.
"Cultivation doesn't have to be in the academy," Lu Ping said.
