After distributing the papers, a yellow-robed, middle-aged man walked up to them, escorted by a group of people.
Needless to say, this middle-aged man was the emperor of the Wu Kingdom, Wu Xuanran.
There were seven or eight youths on either side of him, most likely his sons.
"Welcome, everyone, to this time's trial. I hope that you will all work hard and obtain a good ranking. When the time comes, excluding my sons, the top five will have the opportunity to become my son-in-law," Wu Xuanran said in a loud and clear voice.
It's true, Lin Long thought to himself.
After speaking eloquently for a while, Wu Xuanran finally announced the start of the trial.
Soon after, his sons also walked into the group of young people.
Afterwards, a few experts walked out from the sides, standing in front of the group of youths. They silently chanted some strange rune terms, then suddenly struck the empty space beside them with their palms.
Afterwards, a ring of light suddenly appeared in front of the group of youths. Clearly, this was the entrance to the secret realm.
"Alright, everyone can enter." After Wu Xuanran said this, the group of youths immediately walked towards the ring of light.
Lin Long also followed behind them. After entering the ring of light, he felt a white light flash, and he appeared in a public square.
Apart from him, the others had also arrived in this public square.
After everyone had entered, a voice suddenly rang out in the air.
"In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the secret realm will officially open!"
The secret realm had not yet begun, so many people naturally took advantage of this time to chat.
Not far from Lin Long stood a prince. Based on his age, he should be the First Prince of the Wu Kingdom, Wu Anbang.
Standing beside the First Prince were Lin Guanghan and Luo Sheng. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.
"First Prince, why don't I see the Seventh Princess?" Lin Guanghan asked.
"That's right, why don't I see her? Logically speaking, she should also be participating in the trial," Luo Sheng said doubtfully.
"That's right, the Seventh Princess is much stronger than Princess Changle. Unlike Princess Changle, who doesn't have the qualifications to enter the secret realm," another person beside them said.
"Don't worry, the Seventh Princess will also come. She was just delayed by some matters. In the end, she will still enter the secret realm through the ring of light," the First Prince said with a smile.
"That's good. I thought something bad would happen." Lin Guanghan nodded, then said to the Crown Prince, "Crown Prince, don't worry. I will definitely protect the Seventh Princess."
"Guang Han, don't worry. Even if you didn't say that, I, Wu Anguo, would still treat you as my brother-in-law." The Eldest Prince laughed.
Hearing their words, the expressions of the surrounding people who had designs on the Seventh Princess turned a little ugly.
The First Prince's words clearly showed that he was treating Lin Guanghan as the Prince's son-in-law.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked over to Linlong's side. This person looked at Linlong and said, "Young Master, are you really the young master of the Tang family in the southern Nanquan City?"
Could it be that this person was very familiar with South Spring City? Linlong's heart skipped a beat when he saw this person.
He said calmly, "Young Master, are you also from South Spring City?"
This person shook his head and said, "I'm not from South Spring City. It's just that I often went to South Spring City to play for a period of time. I've seen many young masters in South Spring City, but I don't have any impression of you."
"Is that so? I've been in seclusion for a period of time. It's very likely that you happened to come during that time, so you didn't see me." Linlong laughed.
"That should be it." The person nodded and then introduced himself, "My surname is Yan, and my name is Sheng. I'm from Pinglu City, which is near South Spring City."
"So it's Young Master Yan." Linlong smiled.
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If the other party found out that he was an imposter, it would be troublesome.
As they spoke, the ethereal voice from before sounded again.
"The mystic realm officially begins."
As the voice fell, Linlong felt his vision blur, and then he appeared in a forest.
Just as he looked around, Linlong saw a black leopard pouncing at him from the left.
This was a ferocious beast with the strength of a Level 3 warrior.
Seeing it pouncing at him, Linlong immediately took out the Rune Sword and slashed at it.
"Bang!"
Lin Long was forced back a few steps by the force of the blast.
Although his strength was comparable to the black leopard's, Linlong's attack did not gain the upper hand because of the ferocious beast's strength.
Seeing Linlong retreat, the black leopard pounced at him again.
This time, Linlong directly used Wu Lin's sword technique. Wu Lin's sword technique was agile and unpredictable, and it quickly suppressed the black leopard.
After a few more moves, Linlong's sword slashed the black leopard's throat.
Then, Linlong found a Level 3 Energy Stone on the black leopard.
After obtaining the Level 3 Energy Stone, Linlong walked forward.
The reason he'd taken the third-grade Energy Stone wasn't because he wanted to compete with the others, but because such a third-grade Energy Stone was valuable and could be used to refine third-grade Energy Force Pills.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed. During this time, he encountered some ferocious beasts.
Most of these ferocious beasts lived in groups. They were mainly Level 2 ferocious beasts, and there were also Level 3 ferocious beasts, but there were very few of them.
Level 3 ferocious beasts rarely moved alone, and the black leopard that Linlong encountered earlier could be considered an exception.
In the process, he also encountered a few people, but they did not interact much with each other. At most, they would exchange glances.
After a while, after killing a few Level 2 ferocious beasts, Linlong found another Level 3 ferocious beast in front of him.
It was a spotted tiger.
Apart from the spotted tiger, Linlong also saw a person not far to his right, who seemed to be a woman.
It was not Luo Sheng, but Linlong did not care at all. Therefore, he directly dealt with the spotted tiger.
Although it was a spotted tiger, its combat strength was clearly much weaker than the black leopard from before.
However, after exchanging a few moves with the spotted tiger, the woman next to it walked over.
It was a young girl about the same age as Linlong. What surprised Linlong was that the young girl's appearance was extremely outstanding. Her eyes were sparkling, and she seemed to be very quick-witted.
"Brother, can you give this spotted tiger to me?" Linlong did not expect the young girl to say such a thing after coming over.
"I don't have such a hobby." Linlong directly shook his head.
Although the young girl's appearance was outstanding, Linlong did not have the habit of giving away things that he had obtained.
"Why are you so stingy?" The young girl could not help but be a little angry.
"I'm sorry, I have always been stingy. So, please leave," Linlong said speechlessly.
Who knew that after saying that, the young girl still did not leave. However, she had no intention of snatching the spotted tiger. Instead, she just stood at the side and watched Linlong.
With someone watching from the side, Linlong would not use the Wu Lin sword technique. After all, the Wu Lin sword technique was a martial technique of the Wu Country's royal family. It would be bad if others saw through it.
Fortunately, Linlong had previously obtained a low-grade yellow class sword technique from someone. Otherwise, he would not know how to use it now.
After a round of fighting, the spotted tiger was finally killed by Linlong.
Until the end, the young girl remained by Linlong's side.
"What are you doing? We don't even know each other." Linlong was a little speechless.
If he had known this would happen, he would have let the spotted tiger go.
"Nothing, I just want to snatch something from you." The young girl looked calm, but how could Linlong not see that she was angry?
Linlong could only shrug helplessly, then turn around and continue walking forward.
Not long after, he actually encountered another level three ferocious beast that was walking alone.
This time, before he could make a move, the young girl beside him had already rushed over like an arrow and attacked the level three ferocious beast in front of him.
Linlong naturally would not fight with her like that. However, he did not leave either. Instead, he looked at her a few times. These few looks surprised him. He realized that this young girl not only had the strength of a level three warrior, but the sword technique she used was also not bad.
Her sword technique was clearly not inferior to Wu Lin's sword technique. Moreover, Linlong also realized that the sword technique she used was more suitable for women.
Thinking that those who participated in the trial were mostly young masters of the various large clans, Linlong felt relieved.
After looking at her for a few more times, Linlong turned around and continued walking forward.
After a while, he had already walked far away. Who would have thought that the next moment, the young girl would actually catch up to him again?
"Are you a ghost that refuses to go away?" Linlong said impatiently.
It was very inconvenient for the other party to stay by his side.
If he really encountered Luo Sheng later, he reckoned that he would have to see whether he should make a move or not.
"Hmph!" The young girl snorted coldly, but did not say anything.
The speechless Linlong could only continue walking forward. In just a short while, he encountered seven or eight ferocious beasts.
These ferocious beasts immediately surrounded them when they saw them.
Among the seven or eight ferocious beasts, only one was a level three ferocious beast. The rest were either level two or level one ferocious beasts. Now that there were two of them, Linlong was naturally not worried.
Of course, even if he was alone, he would not be afraid of these ferocious beasts.
What made Linlong somewhat speechless was that the young girl directly charged at the level three ferocious beast. Linlong could not be bothered to fight with her.
After spending some effort, the two of them completely killed this group of ferocious beasts.
After obtaining a few energy stones, Linlong continued walking forward. He now had a feeling that the ferocious beasts would be stronger the further he went.
After a while, the two of them encountered a few more ferocious beasts. This time, there were actually two level three ferocious beasts, one for each of them.
After a round of fighting, the two of them killed these two ferocious beasts.
Due to her sword skills, the speed at which the young girl killed the ferocious beasts was obviously faster than him. However, after killing them, the young girl still did not leave. Instead, she stood there and looked at him.
After killing his ferocious beast, Linlong's expression turned cold as he said, "Don't follow me!"
"You miser, so what if I follow you?" The young girl snorted.
"If you continue to follow me, I won't be polite anymore!" Linlong frowned and said with a straight face.
"I'm standing right here. Come at me," the young girl said directly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Linlong's figure suddenly moved and appeared beside her. What Linlong did not expect was that she did not move at all.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll beat you up?" Linlong asked doubtfully as he looked at the young girl.
"Why would I be afraid? I can already tell that you're not only petty but also timid." The young girl raised her petite face and provoked him.
"You're challenging my patience!" Linlong's expression darkened as he directly slapped her.
Slap!
Such a sound suddenly rang out.
"You … You really hit me!" The young girl was startled and hurriedly took a few steps back. Then, she subconsciously touched her back.
"This is just a warning. I won't be so lenient next time!" Linlong said coldly.
After saying that, he directly strode away.
What made him speechless was that as soon as he left, the young girl followed closely behind.
"You really want to be beaten up!" Linlong said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly turned around. Before he could even take a step, the young girl behind him had already shot several feet away with a whoosh.
Seeing her speed, Linlong could not help but feel a little surprised. This was because her speed was clearly not inferior to his.
However, he still wanted to give it a try. Therefore, in the next moment, he directly rushed toward her.
As soon as he moved, the young girl immediately moved as well.
Immediately, the two of them began to chase each other. In just a short while, Linlong realized that his speed was really comparable to the young girl's.
If he continued to chase like this, it would be very difficult to catch the young girl unless something unexpected happened.
Therefore, Linlong gave up because continuing to chase like this was simply a waste of time.
Later on, I will find an opportunity to let those fierce beasts hold her back, and then I will quickly leave. Linlong thought to himself.
With this thought in mind, he stopped.
Seeing that Linlong had stopped, the young girl also stopped and shouted at him, "Petty, coward, why aren't you chasing anymore?"
At this moment, her little face was flushed, and she looked quite charming.
"Forget it, I won't lower myself to your level." With that said, Linlong turned around and continued to walk forward.
After just a few steps, he heard the young girl continue to follow behind him.
Linlong ignored her and continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, the two of them encountered another six fierce beasts. Among these six fierce beasts, there was a third-level fierce beast.
Behind him, the young girl directly pounced toward the third-level fierce beast, which was exactly what Linlong wanted.
Linlong even deliberately let two second-level fierce beasts pass, allowing them to deal with the young girl while he himself dealt with the other three fierce beasts.
Among these three fierce beasts, there was only one second-level fierce beast, and the remaining two were first-level fierce beasts. Therefore, the difficulty was unknown how many times lower.
In just a short while, they were killed by Linlong. After plundering their bodies for energy stones, Linlong immediately left this place and sprinted forward.
Noticing Linlong's intentions, the young girl hurriedly shouted. "Come back!"
How could Linlong care about her? Not only did he ignore her, but he also increased his speed.
"Ah …"
In the distance, he heard the young girl's miserable scream from behind him.
Still ignoring her, Linlong continued to move forward. He knew that with the young girl's strength, the three fierce beasts were no match for her.
