78 Chapter 78 – Puppet Plane (1/2)
The crowd dispersed after Zhu Lang left and the group of four sat back again to talk.
Wu Qian Ren hesitated for a moment and finally spoke ”Brother Shen, I don't know why you provoked Zhu Lang intentionally, but he has a lot of power currently and various noble families are trying to rope him in. Be careful wherever you go and be always on guard.”
Wu siblings naturally realized Zhu Xuan is provoking Zhu Lang intentionally because they have spent some time with him and they know he is not a rash person and there must be a reason he did what he did but they still warned him.
Zhu Xuan also expected them to understand he is provoking Zhu Lang intentionally so he smiled and spoke ”Thank you, I will be careful of him and his subordinates.”
After almost an hour passed a group of five people came to the open ground. An old man in front followed by the other four people right behind him.
The old man is brimming with energy and his eyes shone with a cruel light.
He spoke loudly once the crowd calmed down ”I'm the Outer Sect Grand elder and I will be handling the competition for this year.”
”This year competition is not a battle competition between the candidates, but we will open the puppet plane controlled by our outer court. You will have to fight the puppets inside the plane and will earn points regarding the strength of puppets you defeat inside. The candidates will be ranked based on the number of points you earn in three days.”
There was a commotion among the crowd when everyone heard his announcement.
Zhu Xuan turned towards Wu Qian Ren and he started speaking understanding what the other wanted to ask ”Planes are small world opened randomly in this world. It contains rare treasures and herbs you can't find in the outside world, but they are also filled with enemies like demon beasts, alien life forms or their environment is different like a volcano world, underwater world or desert world.”
”Every plane has its rule based on its rank. But one can acquire and control the plane if they kill all the beasts inside or reach the altar in the center and refine the altar. The academy has more than ten planes and just the outer court controls three planes, and the puppet plane is one of them.”
By this time the crowd calmed down the old man's voice came again ”The top twenty five candidates will receive generous prices and the top ten will get the chance to enter the marrow cleansing pond.”
Before the crowd could cause a commotion again, he waved his hand and a rift opened in the centre of the open ground. He spoke unhurriedly ”Now every candidate step out and enter the plane and collect the token and jade slip from the instructors behind me. They will inform you further details when you get into the plane.”
He finished speaking as the four men behind him entered the Rift first, and the candidates started moving to enter the rift.
Wu Qian Ren spoke to Zhu Xuan ”Brother Shen, Puppet plane had humanoid puppets with cultivation level below Qi Sea stage. So move carefully inside and you should kill the puppets immediately when you encounter once because these puppets are mysterious and can learn from their opponents.”
He paused and continued ”Try your best to get to the first ten ranks because the marrow washing pond will help you in your current cultivation tremendously.”
Zhu Xuan's eyes shone brightly when he heard Wu Qian Ren and he nodded to them and moved towards the rift. When he was moving, he saw Meng looking at him with a cruel smile on his face, while Zhu Lang was also looking at him with a smile on his face.
