Mu Junli continued, “The location for this trial has been chosen as the Youlong Mountain!”
“Youlong Mountain is vast and rich in resources, and it is one of the forbidden lands of life in our Qingzhou. Since all of you are at the Yuanfu realm, the area selected for this trial is a tributary range of Youlong Mountain designated by the Seven Great Sects.”
“The trial will take place over a vast expanse of a million square li, and it will last for three months. During this time, you may hunt spiritual beasts or even fight among yourselves. You will earn corresponding spiritual value points for your actions.”
As Mu Junli spoke these words, strong warriors at the Tian Gang realm, stationed around the valley, began to distribute tokens.
These tokens, the size of a palm, seemed to be made of a material that was neither quite jade nor stone, yet extraordinary in quality.
On the surface of each token was engraved a single zero.
Every disciple received one of these tokens.
Mu Junli went on, “To activate the token, you must infuse it with your blood and a wisp of your soul’s energy. Your name will then appear on it. Remember, if the token is lost by the end of the trial, your results will be invalidated!”
“Everyone starts from zero, with no special treatment.”
Ye Wushuang took the token, dripped blood onto it, and infused it with a wisp of his soul’s energy. On the back of the token, three small characters appeared—Ye Wushuang.
“If you die, the token becomes ownerless, and the spiritual value points can be transferred by anyone.”
“But if you survive, the points cannot be transferred.”
How ruthless!
Qing Shiyu couldn’t help but exclaim, “This means that simply taking someone else’s token is useless. You must kill the person to obtain their spiritual value points!”
This was essentially forcing everyone to fight each other!
Mu Junli continued, “The main way to earn spiritual value points is by hunting spiritual beasts.”
“Common beasts and first-tier spiritual beasts, compared to the strength of the body-refining and meridian-condensing realms, are not worth any points for hunting.”
“Second-tier spiritual beasts, with the strength of the Yuanfu realm, are worth one hundred points for a low-level beast, five hundred points for a mid-level beast, and one thousand points for a high-level beast.”
“Third-tier spiritual beasts, with the strength of the Tian Gang realm, are worth two thousand points for a low-level beast, five thousand points for a mid-level beast, and ten thousand points for a high-level beast!”
Upon hearing this, many people’s expressions turned solemn.
Among these young geniuses, many were already at the peak of the Yuanfu realm and were likely to reach the Tian Gang realm within the three-month trial period.
Some extraordinary individuals might even reach the fourth or fifth level.
However, including high-level third-tier spiritual beasts in the reward range seemed overly optimistic!
To go from the peak of the Yuanfu realm to the third level of the Tian Gang realm in just three months would be an extraordinary feat.
How could anyone possibly defeat a high-level third-tier spiritual beast, which was at the peak of the Tian Gang realm?
Mu Junli chuckled and explained, “In every Hundred Nations Martial Contest, there are always extraordinary talents who emerge. Some even reach the fifth or sixth level of the Tian Gang realm. If there are enough of them, and with the right timing and conditions, they might just be able to defeat a top-tier third-level spiritual beast.”
“Ten thousand points—this is more rewarding than killing ten high-level second-tier spiritual beasts!”
The potential gain was immense!
But so was the risk!
From the spiritual value point gap set by the Seven Great Sects, it was clear that they did not particularly encourage such attempts.
It was better to stay within one’s limits.
After all, the Seven Great Sects were also concerned that their own young geniuses, in their pursuit of the top seven spots, might take unnecessary risks and die within Youlong Mountain, which would be undesirable.
When Mu Junli finished speaking, a young man spoke up loudly, “May I ask Protector Mu, what about hunting fourth-tier or even fifth-tier spiritual beasts?”
At this question, everyone gasped.
A fourth-tier spiritual beast was already at the Wanfa realm!
As for a fifth-tier beast… that was a world-class powerhouse at the Guiyuan realm. Encountering one would be like offering oneself as a mere morsel!
This person was truly daring in both thought and action!
Ye Wushuang also raised an eyebrow and looked at the one who had spoken.
In the Qingyun Empire, the couple Chi Yuan and Chi Xuan were indeed fifth-tier spiritual beasts.
However, they only possessed the strength of the early Wanfa realm.
This was because a true eight-winged Chiyuan Jiao, when complete, should actually have ten wings. The last two wings were extremely difficult for the eight-winged Chiyuan Jiao to unlock!
This was why the couple had not yet achieved the Guiyuan realm!
Moreover, over the years, Chi Yuan had been transferring his life essence to Chi Xuan to prolong her life, which had significantly weakened his own strength.
That was why Chi Yuan seemed like a fourth-tier spiritual beast, with only the strength of the early Wanfa realm!
If Chi Yuan were in a perfect state, he would at least be at the late Wanfa realm.
And if the last two wings were to grow, he would truly transcend the Wanfa realm and reach the invincible Guiyuan realm.
He would not only dominate the Qingyun Empire but also be feared throughout Qingzhou!
To think of killing a fifth-tier spiritual beast?
That was nothing but a dream!
Even a fourth-tier spiritual beast, with its low, mid, and high levels corresponding to the early, mid, and late stages of the Wanfa realm, would be a death sentence for a Tian Gang realm warrior to challenge!
Mu Junli was taken aback by the question.
These young geniuses participating in the Hundred Nations Martial Contest were truly bold in their thinking!
