It was only then that everyone understood Elder Helian's intentions.
To put it simply, Elder Helian was only responsible for the "double plane tickets" for the students this time. Food and lodging were not included.
All of Yun Sheng's belongings and elixirs were in the Beast Language Ring. Other than a magic scepter and the Shennong Medical Bangle, she was penniless.
The situation of the others was similar to Yun Sheng's.
"Elder Helian," Yun Sheng could not hold back anymore. "Ling 'er, Gufeng and I are not official students who are breaking through this time. Are we going to be like them?"
Yun Sheng's concerns were not without reason. The three of them were obviously weaker than the others in terms of cultivation. Furthermore, this was their first time in Skywings City. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for them to make a living.
"The few of you came with the main team, which means that you are the substitutes. Since you are the substitutes, you should be treated the same as the others. This is also to show that I am fair and treat everyone equally." Elder Helian did not buy it.
"Besides, I've already said it clearly. If you break through or obtain the title of Combat King, you can come back to collect your belongings. I'm not making things difficult for you." What he meant now was that Yun Sheng's cultivation was only that of a Master Mage. If she really broke through, it would be the easiest.
How could Yun Sheng not know this? She could break through at any time. After all, her real cultivation was that of a Saint Mage.
However, she could not break through immediately. Otherwise, it would attract unnecessary suspicion.
The other students also had bitter looks on their faces. However, they had already handed over their belongings. No one dared to go against the Third Elder's wishes.
"What's going on? The seniors who came for the trial in the past did not mention this. I remember that it was Elder Helian who led the team. Why did the rules suddenly change? "
"I think I saw Elder Yu from the Warrior Elite Camp just now. It's most likely that the elders from both sides are competing with each other again."
"How pitiful. We have become the victims."
Everyone complained to each other, but there was no other way.
In the Skywing City, the fastest way to make money was through fighting. As long as one participated in the corresponding matches in the Arena and won a few matches, one would be guaranteed a sufficient amount of money in the Skywing City.
These students from the Continent's Magic Elite Camp were no ordinary characters. Each and every one of them was very flexible. They had all thought that the only way to break through was to go to the Skywings Arena and participate in the competition. This way, they could both increase their cultivation and earn enough money to survive in the city for a year.
"If no one has any objections, I will wait for all of you in this inn during this year. Unless there are heavy casualties, do not come and look for me." Elder Helian had steeled his heart this time. He waved his hand and walked straight into the inn to rest.
The students of the Continental Magic Elite Camp looked at each other in dismay. This was clearly different from their previous training.
However, these students were only surprised for a moment before they quickly adjusted themselves. After all, each of them was the top of the elite camp. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to survive in Skywings City for a year.
"Let's go." Chen Lian 'er and a few other magicians walked away. The other magicians also walked away separately.
Yun Sheng, Donghuang Linger, Abandon, and Gufeng stayed where they were.
They all had distressed looks on their faces. They didn't know what to do next. They were completely clueless about Skywings City.
On the large street, people came and went. The four of them looked at each other in dismay.
"Everyone, don't worry. I have a trick up my sleeve." Gufeng mysteriously took off his shoes and pulled out a Limitless Gold Card.
This Limitless Gold Card was given to Gufeng as a bonus from the 10,000 gold coins that Yun Sheng had won in the Wanlong Gambling House.
Gufeng wasn't Yun Sheng. Most of his money had been sent back to his hometown, so he didn't have much money on him.
This Limitless Gold Card was left behind because he couldn't bear to spend it. It could be considered his entire fortune.
"10,000 gold coins. Let's take it as our little treasury. It's getting late. Let's find an inn to stay in first." After entering Skywings City, Yun Sheng didn't see any trace of Ye Beiming.
After finding an inn that looked pretty good, Yun Sheng and the other three walked in.
"100 gold coins for a room! And it's only the most ordinary of rooms! "Yun Sheng and the others clearly overestimated the use of 10,000 gold coins.
"Gufeng, didn't you come to Skywings City before? Don't tell me you don't know the cost of living here?" Donghuang Linger complained.
"I came here with my teacher. How would I know that the cost of living is so high?" Gufeng also had a bitter face.
Skywings City was indeed worthy of being called Cloud City. The cost of living here was definitely top-notch.
It wasn't just lodging. Even the most ordinary of meals cost several hundred gold coins.
10,000 gold coins, if the four of them spent it, would only last them for two months at most.
"Let's stay here first. As for earning money, we'll think about it at length." Yun Sheng had a headache. She felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
When she was in Banana Leaf Village, she had also thought of all kinds of ways to earn money to support her family.
After the few of them checked into the inn, they hastily ate a meal and started discussing their livelihood for the next year.
"I only know how to spend money. I don't know how to earn money."
"I can go to the gambling house as a guard."
"I know how to heal. I can sneak into the arena to heal the contestants and earn some extra money."
"…"
After the discussion, Yun Sheng was speechless.
The three of them clearly didn't realize the uniqueness of the Skywings City they were in.
"Linger, you don't have to do anything. You just have to promise not to spend money recklessly."
"Abandon, even if there's a gambling house here, no one will cause trouble. This is Skywings City, and no one will dare to defy the dignity of the Skywings City Lord."
"On the other hand, Gufeng, you've come up with the right idea this time. The Skywings Arena is bound to need light magicians. We'll be relying on you to feed everyone."
When Yun Sheng said this, Linger and Abandon were somewhat discouraged, but Gufeng's face was full of complacency.
"Let's first say that the purpose of our visit is to help Abandon break through and become a Sky Magician. The second is to observe, so everything has to be done to facilitate Abandon's advancement to master. Gufeng, you're the one who understands Skywings City the most here. Give us a simple explanation of the situation in the city, including the layout of the city, as well as the most important ways to earn money here. "With the issue of feeding settled, Yun Sheng felt more at ease. She also had other ways to earn money in her mind.
"The easiest way to earn money in the Skywings Arena is naturally through the competition," Gufeng said matter-of-factly.
"Isn't that nonsense? The problem is, among the four of us, who can go to the arena besides Abandon?" Yun Sheng waved her hand impatiently.
After Yun Sheng said this, the other three fell silent.
Yun Sheng and Donghuang Linger, one was a Master Magician, while the other was a Junior Saint Magician. Magicians with such cultivation might be able to survive in the Boundless Continent's Five Great Nations, but in an abnormal arena like the Skywings Arena, they were like ants. Any Sky Magician or Martial Saint could kill a large number of them with a pinch.
