Chapter 510 - The Final Test (2/2)

Two hours later, it was completely dark. Tonight, they had to rough it in a big cave that they found. Fortunately, with so many people, the cave became bustling. Especially these young girls, who were very lively and lovely, kept talking and laughing. Because of them, the silence and lifeless cave even seemed to come alive at this very night.

“Sister Chu Qi, why don’t you like talking?” A girl asked, blinking her big eyes. Chu Qi turned around and glanced at her, giving her only an “oh” as a reply.

Xiao Chen sat in front of the fire, gazing into the flickering flames. He thought, his eyes reflecting the glaring light. “I have been to the Wastelands for more than a month. I don’t know how Xin’er and the others in the Forever City are now. The Immortals’ League, the Mo Clan, the Order of the Divine Fire, and Ling Ruoxu from the Ling Family who had escaped, I will make all of you pay for your debt in person!”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and clenched his fingers. He only hated that he didn’t have enough strength to go back and revenge now. Whenever he thought that Xuanxu Zi destroyed the Heartless Palace and Xin’er’s heartbroken look that day, he would feel his stomach knot with pain.

“Xuanxu Zi, when I come back, it will be your time to die…”

“Brother Chen, where do you and Sister Chu Qi come from?” At this time, a teenager suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

His question brought Xiao Chen back to reality. Xiao Chen reacted quickly and said while smiling, “I came from the Life (Wastelands provinces). Yan Prefecture City, have you ever heard of it?”

It was a vague answer. Somehow, Xiao Chen felt that he absolutely could not let anyone, especially the Cloud Mist Academy, know that he was from the Violet Manor.

“Yan Prefecture City? I seemed to have heard of it, but I’ve never been there…”

Nothing happened this night. The next morning, when it was dawn, they set off again. They must arrive at the Mountainside Square before sunset today, so it meant that there were about twelve hours left.

But when they were near the main peak, it was almost noon. Those Illusory Beasts at the foot of the mountain were getting more and more ferocious. Many of these beasts had obtained the strength close to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. The dozens of young boys and girls made the right choice. If it had not been for Xiao Chen and Chu Qi, all of them would have failed this test or been killed long ago.

As they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone looked up at the peak that went straight into the clouds. High in the clouds, pavilions were partly hidden and partly visible as if they were in the Heavenly Palace. Everyone looked delighted, knowing that it was precisely the Cloud Mist Academy that they had always dreamed of entering.

In fact, with the size of the Cloud Mist Academy, it could also be named as the Cloud Mist Sect, the Cloud Mist Gate, or the Cloud Mist Pavilion. However, due to its special nature, it could not be named as any of these. Otherwise, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Of course, the trouble here was not that other sects would go to provoke it, but because some people had already belonged to some sects or forces before they entered the Cloud Mist Academy.

“We’re finally here.” Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He was now increasingly looking forward to being in the Cloud Mist Academy. Perhaps his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds in the near future.

Not long after he finished speaking, bursts of footsteps came from the distance. Many people rushed over from both sides of Xiao Chen’s and Chu Qi’s teams. The other teams were coming. Xiao Chen was stunned, wondering, “Did we arrive here before them?”

Xiao Chen noticed that all these people looked a little embarrassed, including people in the teams full of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Jiang Qianqian, and the others. Xiao Chen looked at them and asked, “Hey? What happened to you?” As he spoke, his mouth curved into a faint smile as if he was teasing them. After all, Jiang Qianqian’s team was the strongest.

Evidently, some “wicked” elders in the Cloud Mist Academy must have changed the rules of this test at the last moment. Now that the stronger the average battle strength of each team, the stronger the Illusory Beasts they would meet. In this way, Xiao Chen’s team and the team alike got an advantage instead.

Upon seeing that nothing had happened to them, Jiang Qianqian became so furious that she gritted her teeth with anger. How she wished that she could tear Xiao Chen’s mouth apart, dig out and crush his eyeballs.

“Hehe, Brother Xiao, you’ve arrived even earlier than us.” A slightly bitter voice rang out from behind Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw Yumu Shisan, who also looked somewhat miserable. But the 19 boys behind him were safe and sound.

“Haha, Brother Yumu, you are almost equally quick,” Xiao Chen said.

Yumu Shisan made a wry smile and then said, “I suppose that this final test of going up the mountain will not be simple. Since we have met, why don’t we go there together?” With this, he turned to look at the others.

The other people here had been tortured severely by all kinds of traps and Illusory Beasts before, so they naturally would not object to his proposal at this time. Even if they met something terrifying again, they would go through the rough patch together.

Xiao Chen looked up at the mountain and thought, “Before the few senior disciples left yesterday, they said mysteriously that there was the last test. What exactly will the last test be?”

Then, more than 500 newcomers went up the mountain together. At the same time, somewhere on the mountain, a woman in white clothes was sitting on a fresh green branch.

“The group of little fellows this year is really interesting. In this case, I will play with these little kids a longer time…”
