Tang Chuyi smiled and said, “The Qingyun Empire has a population of over a hundred million, with vast lands and abundant resources. Within the capital, there are numerous mercenary groups, as well as adventurers who enjoy training in the Qingtian Mountain Range. They live a life on the edge, fearless of anything.”
Upon hearing this, a sense of unease began to spread among everyone.
“In previous trial battles, the academy elders would guard the boundaries, preventing any spiritual beasts above the second rank from entering,” Tang Chuyi continued. “Moreover, these mercenaries and adventurers, who live by the blade and have killed without hesitation, were also kept out.”
“But this time, the academy elders have decided to allow mercenaries and adventurers, as long as they do not exceed the third level of the Yuanfu realm, to enter the trial area.”
“In other words, in this trial, you will not only be competing with other disciples but also contending with these ruthless mercenaries and adventurers.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the valley below erupted into an uproar.
As disciples of Qingyun Academy, they were not exactly soft-hearted or inexperienced in combat. However, compared to those mercenaries and adventurers who risked their lives daily, they were undoubtedly novices.
The fact that the academy was allowing these outsiders in was shocking, especially since no one had been informed beforehand.
Seeing the astonished expressions of the disciples, Tang Chuyi smiled faintly. This was precisely the effect he had intended.
When it came to battles among disciples, some well-known figures would naturally have an advantage. For instance, the current geniuses on the Tayan list were regarded by other disciples as superior, and few dared to challenge them.
But with the addition of mercenaries and adventurers, the situation would be entirely different. These outsiders would not care who you were; they only cared about the treasures.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently stirred up, Tang Chuyi continued, “For this trial battle, the top hundred disciples who make it into the Tayan list will be rewarded by the academy with one month of access to the Shengyun Valley.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately burst into a commotion.
Just for making it onto the Tayan list, one would be rewarded with a month in the Shengyun Valley?
Xiao Yuan, upon hearing this, was taken aback before he finally said, “The Shengyun Valley is truly a remarkable place. During the last Lingyun Mountain trial, only the first place was rewarded with a month of cultivation time. This time… just for making it onto the Tayan list, one gets a month.”
The last Lingyun Mountain trial and this Tayan Battle were clearly not on the same level.
“Moreover…” Tang Chuyi paused and continued, “This time, the new number one on the Tayan list will be rewarded with three items.”
“A Da Ri Fusan Tree!”
“A Millennial Dragon Flame Fruit!”
“A Tianxin Jade Stone!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent instead. These three items were so rare that many disciples had never even heard of them.
Qing Chengtian looked at Ye Wushuang in astonishment and asked, “What are these?”
Ye Wushuang smiled and explained, “The Da Ri Fusan Tree grows in extremely hot places, absorbing the essence of the sun every day. It contains an extremely powerful life force. Warriors who consume its life force can extend their lifespan.”
“The Millennial Dragon Flame Fruit is best for warriors at the Yuanfu realm, as it helps to solidify the Yuanfu. Of course, it is even better for those at the Ningmai realm, helping to open and expand their spiritual meridians. However, using it at the Ningmai realm might be a bit wasteful.”
“As for the Tianxin Jade Stone, it is a type of jade that is nurtured within the spiritual meridians of the earth. Holding this jade while cultivating can double your speed.”
Looking at the three of them, Ye Wushuang said earnestly, “These three treasures are not only highly attractive to those at the Ningmai realm but also to high-level experts at the late Yuanfu realm.”
On the stone platform, Tang Chuyi continued, “You may not be familiar with these three treasures, but your disciple tokens will soon inform you of their true value.”
“Of course, these three items are reserved for the number one on the Tayan list. In addition to entering the Shengyun Valley, the top hundred geniuses on the Tayan list will also receive other rewards, all of which will be recorded on your disciple tokens shortly.”
Tang Chuyi smiled and said, “So this time, the academy is pulling out all the stops to motivate you and hopes to bring out your full potential!”
Whether it was the expansion of the trial area, the inclusion of mercenary groups and adventurers, or the enhancement of rewards, everyone could see that this was the most important Tayan Battle that Qingyun Academy had held in nearly a decade.
Tang Chuyi continued, “Next, distribute the wristbands. All disciples, head to the trial battle area!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.
A new battle was about to begin!
