Chapter 29: Beast Trial Commences

On the viewing platform, the outer gate Grand Elder's forehead broke out in cold sweat.

Chu Jiang was at this moment searching for inner gate disciples, borrowing several Yellow Tier spirit treasures, fully arming a few of his Foundation Establishment junior brothers, sparing no expense of several thousand spirit stones.

Their strength was almost all enhanced.

But… only the Grand Elder knew that even if Chu Jiang now armed himself even stronger, even if he took the top spot in the Beast Trial, those three would not give him a proper look.

Because those three were a hundred percent there to find Qin Yu.

Therefore, even if his performance now is outstanding, it is of no use.

Elder Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "These outer gate disciples are indeed clever, able to see clearly their own position."

"Indeed, these few outer gate disciples who band together are interesting, even willing to voluntarily lower their status to befriend Qin Yu, who is at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering." Deputy Hall Master also nodded slightly, surprise evident in his eyes.

It should be noted that the six of them working together would definitely have a chance to deal with Chu Jiang and Qin Yu.

Of course, this is only based on the displayed surface strength.

Qin Yu now roughly exhibits the combat power of a Foundation Establishment Third Tier.

To anyone, this is already his limit; achieving this at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering has already surpassed countless people.

Even the once peerless Lin Wu Ren at the same realm could only defeat a Foundation Establishment Second Tier, and with great difficulty.

Naturally, one would not contemplate whether Qin Yu still has hidden cards or concealed strength.

Thus… from the surface, these six Foundation Establishment Second Tier disciples have a chance to vie for the top three spots.

But Qing Yu, even when facing Zhang Wu, chose to give up, solely because of the connection to Qin Yu.

That requires great courage.

Because they did not enter the inner gate before the age of thirty, their prospects in this life are limited.

"This person is interesting; later I'll give him a special recruitment slot, making him a provisional inner gate disciple, to be reassessed after a year, and I can also take him as a named disciple." Deputy Hall Master squinted slightly and said in a low voice.

He is well suited for the Penal Law Hall.

He can be cultivated simply.

Of course, he also harbors some other thoughts, because Qin Yu… essentially owes Qing Yu a favor.

"These disciples are all good seedlings; they can be considered for taking as named disciples." Elder Wu also nodded slightly and spoke.

Only the outer gate Grand Elder beside him was startled in his heart.

Because the two have heavy speaking authority, these few people are effectively entering the inner gate early.

Of course… this is still fine for him.

But this is the status of a named disciple!

Within the inner gate, countless disciples yearn to become one of these core elders' named disciples, yet have no way in.

Their friendship with Qin Yu indeed received a reward.

Later, if the opportunity is sufficient and growth fast enough, they might become formal disciples.

At that time, throughout the Xuan Yang Sect, as long as one does not face the sect master's disciples, the status is the highest.

Pure profit.

Time slipped by bit by bit, Qin Yu cultivated beneath the arena, comprehending the intent of thunder.

His cultivation also made progress.

He is one step closer to the pinnacle of Body Tempering.

Zhang Wu at this moment is also frantically devouring spirit stones, not wanting to lag behind in the Beast Trial.

And the other four were all eliminated.

In the final round, both encountered Foundation Establishment disciples under Chu Jiang, and both were eliminated.

They stopped at the top sixty‑four.

Truly a pity.

Time passed in an instant.

The outer gate Grand Elder rose from the viewing platform, the Dao of Heaven and Earth swirling around him, radiating brilliance.

He landed slowly.

His gaze turned toward the thirty‑two people before him.

He lightly exhaled a puff of foul air: "Next, the Beast Trial begins; each person receives a teleportation talisman. If there is life‑or‑death danger, use it to teleport out immediately."

"Also, do not leave the designated area."

"If you inadvertently enter the inner enclosure and encounter high‑rank ferocious beasts, lacking time to use the talisman, we will find it hard to rescue you."

"Understood?"

The crowd nodded one after another, indicating they understood.

Each Beast Trial, the Xuan Yang Sect sets up a zone, placing some Foundation Establishment‑realm beasts inside.

Their strength is not too great.

Of course… they also, based on strength, place a beast two realms stronger than contemporary disciples.

Otherwise there would be no need for the trial.

Of course, throughout the Beast Secret Realm, there are truly terrifying Heavenly‑Stage great demons, whose strength is not weaker than the core elders of the Xuan Yang Sect.

The Foundation Establishment realm corresponds to the Yellow Tier.

The Spirit‑Entering realm corresponds to the Mystic Tier.

The Earth‑Mystic realm corresponds to the Earth Tier.

The Celestial Origin realm corresponds to the Heavenly Tier.

The Xuan Yang Sect has signed a pact with the Beast King within the Beast Secret Realm.

It can be considered an alliance.

This also counts as one of the Profound Yang Sect's trump cards.

There are many Heaven-step Great Demons.

As long as the Venerable does not act, the Profound Yang Sect's strength can sweep the entire Canglan Yu.

These are all the accumulated foundations built up over the years.

At this moment, Chu Jiang wore heavy armor, stood before the passage, with four people following behind, three at Foundation Establishment First Layer, one at Foundation Establishment Second Layer.

Earlier, three or four Foundation Establishment disciples were also eliminated by Jiang Hai's side.

Therefore, in terms of strength, the gap is not large now.

Even looking comprehensively, Jiang Hai's side has five at Foundation Establishment Second Layer, two or three at Foundation Establishment First Layer, and is considerably stronger.

However…… Chu Jiang previously rented many spiritual treasures from inner sect disciples, fully equipped.

His subordinates can all cross a minor realm.

This poses a great threat.

Qin Yu slowly rose to his feet, and Chu Jiang's gaze also fell upon him.

The two locked eyes.

Chu Jiang's expression was calm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint derisive smile.

"I didn't expect you actually want to compete for the top three spots with Body Tempering Ninth Layer, what a joke."

"In the secret realm, I will actively seek you out."

"I will break your legs and personally send you out of the trial."

"This also counts as fulfilling the promise."

He did something, leaving a faint mark on Qin Yu when he was cultivating.

One can sense the other's position via spiritual sense.

Later, one will be able to find.

After all, Qin Yu repeatedly slapped his face.

Chu Jiang has been holding his breath in his heart.

Want to respond.

Otherwise, how would the Outer Sect Elder on the stands, as well as the three Core Elders, view oneself?

Being ridden on the neck and defecated by a Body Tempering Realm.

This is simply a tremendous disgrace.

Know that this time my promotion to inner sect gives me a chance to become a formal disciple of the Grand Elder.

Even if I fail to gain the favor of those three Core Elders, I must still deal with Qin Yu.

Otherwise, all the prestige accumulated over these years would vanish.

"So much nonsense." Qin Yu spoke directly.
