In the deepest part of the canyon.
Xia Zixuan, Hua Yue, Yan Han, and Zhao Zhu had just killed a level-three monster.
Xia Zixuan had dealt the final blow, so the final points naturally fell to Xia Zixuan.
Yan Han and Zhao Zhu were already used to such situations. They had many complaints in their hearts, but they knew not to say anything.
After Xia Zixuan's cultivation had broken through, she had become more and more arrogant. In the team of four, her cultivation was the highest, so it was not wrong for her to take the most points.
However, when Xia Zixuan decided to take 80% of the points, Yan Han and Zhao Zhu wanted to turn around and leave, but they were forced to stay by Xia Zixuan's promise.
"Follow me and I can guarantee that your final points will definitely not be lower than 500 points! If you can't do it, I'll write my name backwards! "
When she said this, Xia Zixuan revealed her cultivation aura at the right time. Her powerful aura that belonged to a level-three Martial Master made Yan Han and Zhao Zhu take several steps back. Their expressions changed drastically.
They did not expect Xia Zixuan to have hidden her cultivation. Her true ability as a level-three Martial Master was already on par with the school's number one genius, Chu Feiyun.
Thus, under Xia Zixuan's deterrence and Hua Yue's careful persuasion, Yan Han and Zhao Zhu reluctantly agreed to stay.
They did not mind being cannon fodder. In fact, every year when they participated in the resource competition trial, students with mediocre cultivation like them were destined to be cannon fodder. They were already used to it.
As long as they could ensure that they earned enough points, being cannon fodder was no big deal.
Xia Zixuan's ability was powerful and was not inferior to Chu Feiyun's at all. Even if they could only get 20% of the points by her side, it was enough for them to earn enough points in the final stage of the trial.
This was a win-win situation. Even without Xia Zixuan, if they had the chance, they would still find a student with a relatively stronger cultivation to rely on.
The only thing that made them unhappy was that they were all cannon fodder, but why could Hua Yue get more points? Hua Yue had not even fallen out of the top 10 on the leaderboard now.
Yan Han and Zhao Zhu's names had already been kicked out of the top 30.
"Don't think it's unfair." Hua Yue seemed to notice the dissatisfaction in their hearts. She smiled charmingly and said, "If it weren't for me, do you think Zixuan would be interested in your cultivation? Besides, Zixuan and I are sisters. Shouldn't she take care of me appropriately? "
"One must learn to be content with what one has." Hua Yue looked at the rankings and said, "You have at least 100 points now. Compared to your results in the past two years, this is already the best, isn't it?"
Yan Han and the other two remained silent.
Hua Yue was right. Compared to the previous two trials, they had earned 100 points in less than one-third of the trial time. This was indeed the best result they had ever achieved.
At this rate, by the time the trial ended at 5 PM, they might really be able to earn 500 points. It was even possible for them to soar into the top ten.
With a Level 3 Martial Master protecting them, their killing speed was three times faster than the other teams. Even if they only received 20% of the points, it was enough for Yan Han and Zhao Zhu to eat to their heart's content.
"No, it's still too slow if this continues!"
Xia Zixuan frowned. Every time she refreshed the rankings, as long as she saw the name Yang Fan in second place, she would feel disgusted and irritated.
"After killing for so long, my points haven't even surpassed that useless Yang Fan. I can't continue like this!"
Xia Zixuan clenched her fists and said to the three people beside her without hiding anything, "My goal for participating in the trial this time is very simple. The most important thing is to kill Yang Fan and make sure that little bastard never has the chance to return to West Chu City. At the same time, I can also earn some cultivation resources. Especially the champion's reward, I can't give it up. "
It was said that the champion's reward this year was a Level 4 spiritual medicine that could directly increase one's Qi and blood. It was personally picked by a Grandmaster from outside the city.
Even Xia Zixuan, who was a Level 3 Martial Master, would definitely be able to increase her cultivation by at least two levels within a month before the Gaokao if she consumed such a high-grade spiritual medicine. The temptation was huge.
In fact, such a spiritual medicine could only be encountered by chance. Even Xia Zixuan, the daughter of the City Governor's Office, was envious.
In fact, it was not just Xia Zixuan. Chu Feiyun, Zhu Yuchen, Duan Xiaorui, and the other genius students were all so desperate this time because they had their eyes on that Level 4 spiritual medicine and were determined to get it.
"But now, it's fine that I can't catch up with Chu Feiyun's points. But, why is it that even Yang Fan, that trash, is able to firmly suppress me? What right does he have? "
Yan Han and Zhao Zhu secretly pouted.
You're saying it as if you're already firmly in third place?
Please, take a good look at the rankings. Your points haven't even surpassed Zhu Yuchen and Duan Xiaorui, okay?
In fact, even though Yang Fan's cultivation seemed similar to theirs, his actual combat strength had long surpassed a normal peak Martial Disciple. Xia Zixuan should have a deep understanding of this point.
Xia Zixuan did not care about their thoughts. She lowered her head to look at the time on her computer and said, "It's already 11: 05 now. Three hours have passed since the trial started. We can't be like before, searching for those beasts bit by bit. The efficiency is too slow. Most of our time is even wasted on searching for those beasts."
The trial canyon was huge, and the number of beasts was sufficient, but the distribution of the beasts was not uniform. Sometimes, they could not even find a decent beast after searching for more than ten minutes.
Xia Zixuan was annoyed by this. She had powerful strength, but because of her bad luck, she could not find more beasts in time. As a result, three hours had passed, and her points were only around 500. She could only rank fifth on the rankings.
When they heard Xia Zixuan's words, including Hua Yue, Yan Han, and Zhao Zhu's expressions changed at the same time. Hua Yue glanced at Yan Han and Zhao Zhu, then asked Xia Zixuan, "Zixuan, what do you mean by this? You can't be thinking of …"
"That's right!" Xia Zixuan said firmly, "Under such circumstances, the baiting tactic should be a very good choice. Since we can't hit the beasts, why can't we make those beasts come out to find us? "
Yan Han's expression turned cold and he suddenly raised his voice, "You're crazy! This is the outskirts. If you recklessly release your Qi, blood, and spiritual force, you'll definitely attract countless beasts to attack you. You're simply courting death! "
Xia Zixuan scoffed and glared at Yan Han coldly. "Yan Han, since when have you become so cowardly? What's there to be afraid of if there are more beasts? I'm a Level 3 Martial Master now. My Qi and blood are abundant. In a short time, no matter how many beasts come, they won't be enough for me to kill! "
"Although this is the outskirts, don't forget that this is also a trial ground. The middle and high-rank evil beasts here have long been cleared out by the teachers in the school. Even if we use Qi and blood to fish, the ones that come here will only be small evil beasts of Level Three and below. With me here, what are you afraid of?!"
"Uhh …" Zhao Zhu interrupted timidly, "Zixuan, although what you said makes some sense, wouldn't releasing your Qi, blood, and spiritual force so recklessly go against the trial rules? After all, not all students are as powerful as you. If you attract the beasts, it won't be a small matter. "
Xia Zixuan said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. The trial rules don't explicitly state that students are not allowed to use their Qi, blood, and spiritual force to lure beasts. Don't worry and just do it boldly. If there's really a problem, I'll bear the responsibility alone! "
Xia Zixuan took charge. In fact, she knew very well that the school did not explicitly state that fishing tactics were not allowed in the trial because from the school's point of view, using fishing tactics in the outskirts was purely seeking death. It was equivalent to voluntarily giving up one's trial qualification. As long as a student was slightly sane, they would definitely not ask for trouble.
However, she was different.
She was a Level 3 Martial Master expert. Killing Level 3 beasts was like killing chickens. As long as she found a good location and was not surrounded by beasts, she was confident that she could kill all the beasts that were lured out.
"Alright, this matter is settled then! I think the cave behind us is not bad. The rocks are sturdy and the cave entrance isn't too big. If a large number of beasts were to attack, it's impossible for all of them to rush in at once. "
Xia Zixuan did not want to waste her breath on these three good-for-nothings. She immediately made the decision and ordered Zhao Zhu at the same time, "Zhao Zhu, your cultivation is the lowest here. You'll go first and release your Qi, blood, and spiritual force."
Zhao Zhu shuddered. Was she really going to do it?
"I'll be the main force. I'll block the cave entrance and kill the Level 2 and Level 3 beasts." Xia Zixuan said, "I'll let the Level 1 beasts in one by one for you guys to practice on. I definitely won't let you guys lose out."
Zhao Zhu was still a little panicked. He could not help but turn to look at Hua Yue and Yan Han.
Hua Yue nodded gently and said, "That's good too. It's just a trial anyway. If there's really any danger, there's still a guardian teacher hiding in the dark, so there shouldn't be any life-threatening danger."
Yan Han nodded in agreement. Although it was risky, if they really succeeded, their efficiency of earning points would definitely increase exponentially. Perhaps even he and Zhao Zhu would have the chance to rush into the top 10 of the leaderboard.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Hua Yue and Yan Han had both agreed, Zhao Zhu clenched his teeth and nodded in agreement. After all, they were all in the cave. If there was really any danger, none of them would be able to escape.
The four of them retreated to the cave that Xia Zixuan had mentioned. After checking the situation in the cave and confirming that there was no danger inside, Xia Zixuan nodded at Zhao Zhu.
Zhao Zhu shrunk his neck, then controlled the Qi and blood in his body to surge. A wave of Qi and blood spiritual force that was only at the level of a Level 9 Martial Disciple slowly spread out from his body.
In an instant, the beasts within a few miles twitched their noses almost at the same time, then their eyes started to turn red and saliva flowed out of their mouths. All of them excitedly turned their heads and dashed towards the cave where Zhao Zhu and the rest were at.
At the same time, in a certain hill less than a kilometer away from where Zhao Zhu and the rest were, a certain little golden mouse that was hiding 2,000 meters underground suddenly twitched its nose, then it gradually woke up from its long slumber.
It looked up at the ground. Its two bean-sized mouse eyes rolled around a few times, then it squeaked twice and could not help but drool from the corner of its mouth.
Food was delivered to its doorstep. It seemed very delicious!
It was the smell of humans!
After only a few tenths of a second of hesitation, the little golden mouse flashed out of its cave. It waved its four limbs and quickly climbed towards the surface. Its two mouse eyes glowed with a faint golden light in the dark underground cave.
