Most of the people rushed into the mountains, yet several pairs of eyes were fixed on Ye Wushuang.

After all, being the top of the new student ranking came with a reward of a hundred thousand spirit points, which could only be accumulated by hunting a hundred first-tier low-grade spirit beasts.

The spirit points on Ye Wushuang were quite tempting.

Among them, two individuals were particularly noteworthy: Qin Cangsheng, who ranked third and hailed from the Qin clan, and Qin Jingyue, who ranked eighth.

“Brother, when are we going to make a move?” Qin Jingyue asked directly.

“Don’t rush. The trial lasts a month. We’re not the only ones who want to take down Ye Wushuang. If someone else kills him, it saves us the trouble,” Qin Cangsheng replied calmly.

“Right,” Qin Jingyue nodded.

On the other side, Xiao Rong and his sister Xiao Yin were also following Ye Wushuang and his group with their eyes. However, their focus was more on Xiao Yuan, who was with Ye Wushuang.

“A mere illegitimate child, who has awakened his bloodline power, doesn’t know to pledge allegiance to the legitimate branch but instead thinks he can change his status with his own bloodline power. Xiao Yuan, you are truly foolish,” Xiao Rong said coldly. “This trial in the Lingyun Mountains will be the place where you meet your end.”

In addition to them, two figures were leaping among the ancient trees and entering the mountains. One of them was a woman with a graceful figure and a delicate appearance. She said, “Last night, Shang Tianque came to me crying and complaining that Ye Wushuang had humiliated him…”

Shang Mingjie, who ranked fourth in the new student trial and was a genius of the Shang clan, raised an eyebrow and said, “Shang Tianque is such a good-for-nothing. He’s not strong enough to provoke others and deserves what he gets.”

Hearing this, Shang Tianyue’s eyebrows twitched. Shang Mingjie continued, “However, he is still a member of our Shang clan. It’s not good that he’s being bullied like this. If we get the chance, we should just kill Ye Wushuang…”

Shang Tianyue didn’t say anything and left with a few others. Although both were geniuses of the Shang clan, they didn’t seem to want to travel together.

As they entered the trial area of Lingyun Mountain, many disciples had already started to choose their partners and prepare to form teams.

Ye Wushuang, Xiao Yuan, Wang Xueqi, Qing Chengtian, and Shi Yan set out together. The five of them moved in one direction, delving deep into the mountains. A hundred-mile radius was more than enough for over a thousand people.

At that moment, Ye Wushuang paused on a large branch extending from a giant tree, looked ahead, and said, “The core of the trial is to hunt spirit beasts and accumulate spirit points. I just checked the student token. The top ten in spirit points at the end will receive rewards from the academy.”

Qing Chengtian said with a wry smile, “I saw it too. The reward for first place is not only a magical spirit weapon, a first-grade spirit pill, and a magical spirit technique, but also… the opportunity to cultivate for a month in the academy’s Shengyun Valley.”

Shi Yan immediately said, “I know about Shengyun Valley. It’s said that the academy’s geomantic energy converges there, with abundant spiritual energy. Cultivating there for a month is equivalent to cultivating outside for a year.”

“However, I don’t dare to dream of being first… But Ye, you might have a chance,” Qing Chengtian added.

Xiao Yuan said, “As long as we enter the top ten, we can cultivate in Shengyun Valley. It’s just a difference of a month, half a month, ten days, or a week. With some effort, it’s not impossible.”

Qing Chengtian and Shi Yan exchanged glances with a hint of anxiety.

In just a month, both of them had reached the first level of the Condensation Meridian realm. However, among the over a thousand people who entered the trial, many had also reached the Condensation Meridian realm within a month, and there were even some geniuses who had reached the fifth level of the Condensation Meridian realm. Entering the top ten seemed almost impossible.

Seeing their lack of confidence, Xiao Yuan said dejectedly, “Just follow Ye Wushuang and hunt spirit beasts…”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang glanced at Xiao Yuan. This guy had pestered him until midnight last night, trying to fully understand the magical spirit technique called Tengyun Palm, disturbing his peace. Now he wanted to use him as a workhorse?

“Xiao Yuan, I never realized before, but you are quite sly,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile. “However, since you all are not afraid of the danger and are willing to follow me, I certainly won’t let you down.”

Upon hearing this, both Shi Yan and Qing Chengtian were overjoyed.

But at that very moment, Ye Wushuang’s expression suddenly changed. Without a word, he lunged towards Wang Xueqi and pinned her beneath him…
