Tang Chuyi continued, “The rules of the trial battle are quite simple: within the designated area by the academy, hunt spiritual beasts to earn points!”
“However, this time, it’s different from the Lingyun Mountain trial. It’s not just about hunting spiritual beasts and earning points. The academy has set up numerous devices within the designated area, such as formations and spiritual lands. Inside them, there are pills and spiritual instruments left by the academy’s elders and mentors, which will be very useful to you.”
Upon hearing this, many people’s eyes brightened. In the past, whenever the Tayan Battle was conducted as a trial battle, this aspect was always the most attractive.
Simply hunting spiritual beasts and earning points wasn’t interesting enough. With so many disciples participating and only the top hundred being recorded on the Tayan List, the rest would just be running for the sake of it. But with these rewards left by the academy’s elders and mentors, everyone had a chance to obtain them—who wouldn’t be tempted?
Moreover, the rewards left by the elders and mentors during a trial battle were usually rare treasures that were hard to come by in ordinary times.
Tang Chuyi went on, “The trial battle will last for one month. The top hundred disciples with the most points at the end will form the new Tayan List. Disciples who didn’t make the list but have reached a certain point threshold can challenge those on the list.”
“And these hundred disciples, if any are dissatisfied with their ranking, can also challenge those ranked above them to improve their position. However, each disciple only has one chance to do so.”
“Successful challengers can continue to challenge, while those who fail will remain at their original rank.”
Many senior disciples were already aware of this rule.
Tang Chuyi continued, “As for the points for hunting spiritual beasts: for first-tier spiritual beasts, there are three levels—ten points, fifty points, and one hundred points. For second-tier spiritual beasts, the three levels are one thousand points, five thousand points, and ten thousand points.”
“Of course… perhaps some of you might cooperate to kill lower-level second-tier spiritual beasts, but middle and upper-level second-tier spiritual beasts… well…” Lower-level second-tier spiritual beasts have strengths roughly equivalent to the first to third levels of the Yuanfu Realm. If there are enough disciples at the later stages of the Ningmai Realm, they might be able to surround and kill them. However, middle and upper-level second-tier spiritual beasts possess strengths from the fourth to ninth levels of the Yuanfu Realm. No matter how many disciples there are, they would not be able to surround and kill them.
Nevertheless, every year there are some surprises. For example, a disciple might get lucky and encounter a middle or upper-level second-tier spiritual beast that has been severely injured by other spiritual beasts, and thus have a chance to take advantage of the situation. The academy also recognizes such opportunistic gains, after all… luck can also be considered a form of strength!
“Next, each of you will receive a bracelet. This will record your points, so don’t lose it. Otherwise, you won’t have any results in this trial battle.”
The rules are actually similar to the Lingyun Mountain trial, only this time it involves all the Inner Court disciples, making the scale much grander and the situations faced in the assessment more diverse.
“This time, the academy has designated a thousand-mile area within the Qingtian Mountains. There are no third-tier spiritual beasts, so you don’t have to worry.”
Tang Chuyi added, “This time, Vice Deans Li Changqing and Feng Luochen, along with fifty Tian Court elders, will be responsible for the security of the thousand-mile boundary. They will ensure that no ill-intentioned individuals can slip into the trial battle area.”
As Tang Chuyi spoke, his gaze fell on Ye Wushuang in the crowd. During the last Lingyun Mountain trial, Ye Wushuang had caused quite a stir. Normally, vice deans would not be involved in such trial battles. However, this time, Li Changqing and Feng Luochen were genuinely concerned that the same situation might occur again.
“However, this time, the academy is going to add some interesting new elements…” Tang Chuyi’s tone now carried a hint of mischief.
New elements?
What could they be?
In previous years, the Tayan Battle was either conducted as a duel or a trial battle. Could there be any new twists this time?
