Tang Chuyi continued, “The rules of the trial battle are quite simple: within the designated area by the academy, hunt spiritual beasts and earn points!”
“However, this time is different from the Lingyun Mountain trial. It’s not just about hunting spiritual beasts and earning points. The academy has set up numerous means within the designated area, such as arrays and spiritual lands. Inside, there are pills, spiritual instruments, and other items left by the academy elders, which will be very useful for you.”
Upon hearing this, many people’s eyes brightened. In the past, whenever the Tayan Battle was conducted as a trial, this aspect was always the most attractive. Simply hunting spiritual beasts and earning points wasn’t interesting enough. With so many disciples participating and the Tayan list only recording the top hundred, the rest would just be running for the sake of it. But the rewards left by the academy elders and mentors gave everyone a chance to obtain something valuable— 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 top hundred of the Tayan list. Disciples who didn’t make the list but have accumulated a certain number of points can challenge those on the list. Among these hundred disciples, those who are not satisfied with their ranking can also challenge those ranked higher than themselves to improve their position. However, each disciple only has one chance. If the challenge is successful, they can continue to challenge; if it fails, their ranking remains unchanged.”
Many senior disciples were already aware of this rule.
Tang Chuyi continued, “As for the points for hunting spiritual beasts, first-class spiritual beasts are divided into three levels: ten points, fifty points, and one hundred points. Second-class spiritual beasts are also divided into three levels: one thousand points, five thousand points, and ten thousand points.”
“Of course… perhaps some of you might cooperate and manage to kill a low-level second-class spiritual beast, but middle and high-level second-class spiritual beasts… well…” Low-level second-class spiritual beasts have a strength roughly equivalent to the first to third levels of the Yuanfu realm. If there are enough disciples at the late Ningmai realm, they might be able to surround and kill them. However, middle and high-level second-class spiritual beasts possess the strength of the fourth to ninth levels of the Yuanfu realm. No matter how many disciples there are, it would be impossible to surround and kill them.
Nevertheless, every year there are some surprises. For example, a disciple might get lucky and encounter a middle or high-level second-class spiritual beast that has been severely injured by another spiritual beast, 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 person will receive a wristband. 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 those of the Lingyun Mountain trial. However, this time it involves all Inner Court disciples, making the scale more grandiose and the situations faced in the trial more diverse.
“This time, the academy has designated a thousand-mile area within the Qingtian Mountain Range. There are no third-class spiritual beasts, so you don’t need to worry,” Tang Chuyi added.
Tang Chuyi continued, “This time, Vice-Dean Li Changqing and Vice-Dean Feng Luochen, along with fifty Tian Court elders, will be responsible for the security of the thousand-mile perimeter. They will ensure that no ill-intentioned individuals can sneak 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.
Originally, vice-deans would not be involved in such trial battles. However, this time, Li Changqing and Feng Luochen were genuinely worried about a repeat of the previous situation.
“However, this time, the academy is going to add some interesting new elements…” Tang Chuyi’s words now carried a hint of mischief.
New elements?
What could they be?
In past Tayan Battles, it was either a duel format or a trial format. Could there be any new twists this time?
