Is Chapter 230 so unrealistic?
Su Yu rolled her eyes; tonight had only just begun.
The commotion around them gradually subsided; the crying weakened, the cursing disappeared, leaving behind several drained corpses and a ground covered in yellow sand.
There is no moon tonight, but the stars are shining brightly.
None of the four dared to rest; they just needed to get through this one night. So, their eyes were wide open, one bigger than the other.
Ning Xiaoxi returned to her tent and felt uneasy thinking about Tianji's strange behavior earlier that day. What was wrong with him?
[Tuanzi, what happened? Why is Tianji acting so strangely?]
No record found.
[That's not right, it's a Nine-Headed Serpent, didn't you record it?]
"Oh, let me look for it."
Ning Xiaoxi couldn't understand why things had been going wrong ever since she was sent to the entrance of this trial ground. Was it related to the Fu family?
After glancing at the cave dwelling, Jiuyu remained in his small nest, eyes closed, resting. The Taiji Spirit Crystal Ball under his hand rolled very slowly, but it was still rolling.
Xiaoxue hugged her improved Tornado Black Sand Heart and nestled in the small house, giggling foolishly.
The little silver dragon and the mermaid each found a piece of the Five Elements Spirit Crystal and lay down, but their bodies were not yet solidified. They looked like stones placed on a picture drawn on the ground, which was unbearable to look at.
He looked at the Dragon Mine again; Uncle Jian was still asleep, and the mine was also asleep.
Tomorrow we'll be entering the trial grounds, but considering the performance of those mid-level sixth and seventh-grade Celestial Masters these past few days—they're not even dealing with demons, just monsters and monsters—they've already started losing members.
Inside the barrier are pure demons, truly powerful demons. This scattered bunch outside would be utterly crushed!
However, one of the requirements for passing the trial is to kill all the demons within the barrier.
If all the celestial masters are killed, won't she have to face all the demons alone? If she kills all the remaining demons by herself, what will happen if that strange Elder He wants to kill her?
Teaming up is out of the question, so how do we protect a few people? How do we protect them if we don't team up?
Sigh, leading a bunch of newbies out of their cage is a skill in itself!
Ning Xiaoxi put her hand on the ground and sighed helplessly.
Today, the barrier is quiet. Hmm, it seems that ever since the monsters attacked the camp yesterday, all the demons inside the barrier have quieted down. There are no more attacks on the barrier, no more infighting. It's as quiet as death!
"Hmm?" Ning Xiaoxi sat up, turned her palm over and placed it on the ground. A slight, almost imperceptible vibration came from her. She moved her fingers and a defensive talisman covered the entire tent floor. She lay back on the bed, no longer wanting to deal with these trivial and boring disturbances.
“Sand ants!” Su Yu’s voice came from outside.
A series of crackling sounds rang out.
"Xiao Xi?" Sui Lanting called out from close to the tent, but this time there was no sound at all.
"Sister Sui, we're going into the trial grounds tomorrow, so I need to get some sleep. You guys keep going!"
Hearing her nonchalant words, Sui Lanting knew she was alright, so he ignored her.
Lord Tianji was reclining in his chair, eyes closed, resting. His subordinates had to make sure those little things didn't disturb him.
The six officers released stabilizing and defensive talismans in their small camp, preventing the small creatures underground from emerging. Those that had already come up were quickly roasted like popped beans.
Hearing the commotion outside, Ning Xiaoxi fell asleep.
As dawn broke, Sui Lanting provided a wake-up call, and Ning Xiaoxi quickly got ready and came out.
Looking at Tianji, who was still lying in the same spot, Ning Xiaoxi was a little confused and stared blankly at Sui Lanting, "Did our master come here like this last night?"
Sui Lanting smiled perfectly and gave Ning Xiaoxi a piece of flatbread and a bowl of mutton soup, saying, "Today will be very tiring, so have a full breakfast."
Ning Xiaoxi obediently sat down next to Su Yu, with residual spiritual energy from the runes still lingering at her feet. "Last night was quite lively!"
"Not much of a challenge, just a bit annoying." Su Yu ate with relish.
Ning Xiaoxi raised her chin and pointed at the Taoist masters, "Where are they?"
Su Yu coughed, almost muttering two words from the back of his throat, "Damn it!"
Ning Xiaoxi stopped in her tracks, her hand reaching for the biscuit. She was so surprised she didn't know what expression to make to show her astonishment!
Su Yu nodded emphatically. The other two subordinates also nodded, and Ning Xiaoxi recognized them as the two who had come to Yandu with her before.
Xian Feng and Xian Yun also moved closer, and Xian Feng said in a hushed tone, "He Du is furious."
Xian Yun added, "I almost wanted to cancel the trial."
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "Cancelled?"
Su Yu straightened his expression and said, "Even if they all die, we still have to open it."
Ning Xiaoxi gasped, "So ruthless?" Then she tilted her head back, "Wouldn't I be in big danger?"
They all moved to a slightly farther spot.
How do you want to die?
Ning Xiaoxi swallowed hard. "My lord, I will definitely persevere and complete the trial."
Tianji snorted and sat down next to Ning Xiaoxi. Sui Lanting immediately handed her a bowl of soup.
"Even if you come out alone, no one will dare to say anything."
Ning Xiaoxi turned to Tianji and smiled, "Your Excellency is mighty!"
"This time, a shielding barrier has been added, so people outside can't see what's happening inside." Tianji saw that there were still many oil droplets in the soup and instantly lost his appetite.
Ning Xiaoxi thought about it for a moment, and thought, "Well, they really want to cover up their last shred of shame!"
"My lord, is this the case for every Celestial Master who undergoes the trials?"
Just this once?
How could this happen?
"It will get weaker and weaker, but the Pavilion Master and the elders just don't want to believe it yet."
Ning Xiaoxi quietly drank her soup and ate her pancakes, while Sui Lanting and the others moved themselves to a spot far enough away.
"Usually, such trials take about ten days. If you're too weak, thirteen or fourteen days should be enough." Tianji said casually, pouring himself a bowl of hot water. The desert was still a bit cold in the early morning.
Ning Xiaoxi frowned, "Does it really take this long?"
"The highest level is no more than the intermediate level eight. It's already excessive for one person to pass it. The time is too short. Are you trying to kill us? It's shameful."
Ning Xiaoxi nodded, indicating that she understood. Since the people outside couldn't see, she would wait until everyone was exhausted, then unleash a powerful attack to wipe out all the demons, and then emerge from seclusion—perfect!
Tianji got up and walked towards the direction of the barrier.
Ning Xiaoxi didn't dare follow Tianji. She waited until he was far away before saying goodbye to Sui Lanting and the others, and then quickly went to the entrance to meet up.
At this moment, all the Celestial Masters who had signed up for the trial gathered at the entrance.
Ning Xiaoxi took a closer look. They all looked so energetic, how could they be so weak? The highest level was at least the eighth level of the intermediate stage. After carefully observing the person's spiritual meridian circulation, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
So weak? The width of the spiritual vein is enough, but the spiritual power is only at the level of a stream! Asking a stream to cross the path of a great river, isn't that a joke? And she even compared her strength to his own. With that kind of power, being a mid-level fourth-grade cultivator is already giving him too much credit. He can't even compare to his own older brother!
