Chapter 93 - Re-entering the Vast Expanse Forest

  Time flies quickly.

  It's been ten days in the blink of an eye.

  In these ten days, apart from eating and learning various knowledge, Lin Yuan put most of his thoughts on the cultivation of his True Primordial Qi and the Breaking Heaven Sword Technique.

  After more than ten days of hard work, Lin Yuan's efforts finally paid off, and he successfully stabilized his realm at the third acupoint of the Governor Vessel.

  What surprised Lin Yuan was that in these more than ten days of cultivation, Lin Yuan had pushed the Broken Sky Sword Technique to its sixth move, Six Harmony Breaking Void.

  As for the operation of Gongfa recorded in Taishang Yuanshi Jing, Lin Yuan is still like this, the boundary is not advancing rapidly, but it is steadily improving.

  The true yuan's proficiency and the growth of the physique gradually adapted, and the benefits brought about by the black heavenly spirit liquid were also slowly experienced.

  Wuzong's other martial skills, Linyuan also learned, just didn't waste too much time, and with Linyuan's talent, he was able to connect a few of the martial skills to small success, at least mastering them proficiently, so as not to make Linyuan's methods single-minded.

  Apart from this, Lin Yuan stabilized the third acupoint and over ten days, he gradually prepared to make a breakthrough for the fourth acupoint. This was also Lin Yuan accumulating energy for an impending eruption.

  In short, Lin Yuan's strength was rapidly increasing.

  ……

  When the sun rose on the second day, Lin Yuan surprisingly did not cultivate the Tai Shang Yuan Shi Jing nor absorb the power of Tai Yin and Tai Yang. Because today was the first trial activity that countless outer sect disciples had been eagerly anticipating, and it finally began.

  This trial is also for the Martial Sect to reassess the strength of the outer sect disciples and prepare for the next Martial Sect Grand Competition. On the other hand, the Martial Sect is also planning to re-establish the Ranking Monument once again.

  Every ambitious young man has a spirited and elegant demeanor. They also yearn for their strength to be proven. They are also warriors filled with passionate dreams.

  Lin Yuan also arrived early at the gathering point, and with a glance, there were about twenty people. It seemed that this time's trial, Nan Institute did not let all disciples go, it seemed to have selected some disciples with great potential.

  "This time, I will lead you to the trial, and where we are going is Zhao Guo's natural danger - Hong Huang Forest." A man standing opposite the crowd said.

  Lin Yuan had also seen this person, an elder of the outer gate named Cheng Qiang, whose strength had absolutely reached the Xiantian realm, and with him leading, it was a great guarantee for the safety of the disciples.

  "The Desolate Forest." Lin Yuan's heart stirred, he hadn't expected that this trial would be the Desolate Forest. Lin Yuan's heart was also somewhat moved.

  The vast and desolate forest serves as a natural barrier for the state of Zhao, and is also the place where the most ferocious beasts reside. No one knows its exact size, but it stretches across the entire state of Zhao, almost every corner of which can be seen.

  "No way, it's actually the Desolate Forest."

  "It's said that among them, there exist supernatural beasts with innate boundaries, some of which have intelligence on par with humans." One of the disciples heard this and actually went to the Desolate Wilderness Forest for trial, his eyes filled with incredulity.

  "What are you afraid of? We have an elder here. Our elder is a strong practitioner in the Innate Realm." This person was still very confident about the elder's strength.

  The Wuzong is only fifty miles away from the Hongyuan Forest, but it's a vast mountainous region. The Wuzong holds trials every year and is familiar with the terrain of that area. After several large-scale purges by the strong men of the Wuzong, only some relatively weak demonic beasts remain. With the current strength of the outer disciples, as long as they work together and respond properly, there should be no casualties.

  Of course, there is always an exception to everything.

  What is known as trial, must have a certain degree of danger. In the past, the first trial of outer door disciples would always result in deaths, with a mortality rate of around 0.3% to 0.4%. This was just the beginning of letting newcomers adapt to this dangerous world.

  As they progress through higher levels of trials, they will be assigned to more dangerous areas for training.

  Only the truly strong can survive.

  The weak will be ruthlessly eliminated.

  After the trials of blood and fire, and the choice between life and death, they can become true disciples who can truly serve Wu Zong, and gain more resources from the sect to support and cultivate them.

  Anywhere or any sect that thrives in this cold world must pay a bloody price. The weak are not qualified to survive.

  ……

  Lin Yuan was undoubtedly elected as the captain of his twenty-man squad.

  Lin Yuan wasn't too surprised to hear this news. In the Hong Huang Forest, Lin Yuan had experienced it once before and had been baptized in blood and fire, truly understanding what cruelty and reality were.

  A line of Wu Zong's disciples, all running towards the entrance of the Hong Huang Forest, this is also the first pass set by Wu Zong to train his disciples. Half a day later, twenty people appeared in the designated trial area.

  This trial's requirements are very simple, it doesn't require you to hunt down designated demons, nor does it require you to compulsorily follow the elder. You can temper yourself on your own, or you can follow behind the elder, as long as you can obtain resources and reach the trial's goal, that's all.

  "Halt! Halt!" A line of people suddenly stopped in their tracks, coming to a standstill beside a dark entrance.

  "We've arrived! Within a hundred miles radius is our trial grounds"

  Lin Yuan, clad in a black long gown, halted her steps and gazed around. The entire crossroads seemed even more terrifying than the places she had trained before. Faintly, Lin Yuan could sense the lingering aura of ferocious beasts surrounding her.

  The surrounding terrain is undulating but not steep.

  Tens of meters, hundreds of meters high rock peaks stand out in isolation, like stone pillars supporting the sky.

  Further away, as the time approached summer, the entire forest was covered with lush tree leaves, and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. Occasionally, some sunlight that had managed to penetrate through the leaves would cast down from the sky, making it seem even more eerie. Some ordinary but absolutely ferocious beasts were lurking in the distance, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, and the faint sound of their roars could be heard.

  In an instant, these twenty-odd people all focused their attention on their surroundings.

  "Alright, now your trial begins." The outer sect elder Cheng Qiang looked ahead, his eyes devoid of any color: "Remember, you are only allowed to trial within a hundred meters radius. If you encounter any situation, immediately pull the thing given to you beforehand, and we will go to rescue you."

  "Yes." The twenty people responded in unison.

  "You can form teams or go alone, just remember to ensure your own safety." Cheng Qiang said as he stood aside and began to meditate.

  The crowd of disciples looked at each other and it was impossible to ask anything about the trial, so they dispersed. Some went in groups of three or five, while others went alone.

  "Lin Shidi, wait a minute!" Just as Lin Yuan was about to set out on his own training, three people walked towards him.

  "Lin Shidi, I am Chen Huan, an outer sect disciple from last year's intake." The person who had just called out to Lin Yuan hastily opened his mouth to introduce himself.

  "This is my second brother Chen Yu, and this is my third brother Chen Man. We hope to go through thick and thin with Lin Shidi together, not just think about what's in Lin Shidi's mind." The one called Chen Huan's disciple said, his eyes gazing at Lin Yuan.

  Lin Yuan was alone on the road, and had no contact with anyone. At this time, after listening to Chen Huan's introduction, he suddenly realized that there were actually three triplets in this team.

  "Of course, you're welcome." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
