Chapter 316 Rising Storm

The countdown ended. The trial had been completed.

The names of those who passed the trial were on display. “The diamond in the rough” Su Lingyue’s name was on it as well. She had accumulated enough points to land on spot No.5!

Luo Fengtian passed the trial as well. Of the 10 winners, he was the only one who had passed by killing opponents alone without getting a Dreamland Stone. He ranked No.7 with 36 points!

One-third of the participants in the trial had been finished by Luo Fengtian!

His performance proved that he was a remarkable and impressive player. He was deemed as dangerous by all the participants; his combat strength should be among the Top

!

Of the ten winners, apart from Su Lingyue and Luo Fengtian, the performance of the other eight was also stunning—they were disciples from the Ye, Liu, and Qin Families.

Some of them had been born in the immediate family and already enjoyed a noticeable status in their respective families. Some were children of concubines in their families and had no big fame to account for, but they managed to establish their names there!

The names of the ten were published. The first trial had ended.

The winners stepped off the stage amid the passionate applause and everyone’s gazes.

Those who failed got off the stage in low spirits. Some were even trying to find the ones who killed them in the world of the incubus, casting the latter angry stares. Luo Fengtian was the one hated by most. A lot of the defeated participants were eyeing him with ill intent. Even so, Luo Fengtian remained calm; he didn’t seem to care about those vicious glares.

Su Lingyue felt her heart was still fluttering with fear and that she had been blessed with good fortune. When she found out that she had passed the trail, she felt a burden had lifted off from her shoulders.

Su Ping watched as Su Lingyue made her way back. He found it necessary to educate her about the abilities of the Moonfrost Dragon in case her extra prudence would slow the Moonfrost Dragon down.

“Brother Su, congratulations.” Qin Shuhai smiled.

“Those of your family have also done well. They have great potential.” Su Ping reciprocated, extending cordial congratulations to Qin Shuhai.

Qin Shuhai replied with another smile.

The second trial had begun.

Still, one hundred participants joined this round.

After observing the first trial, this time, no one took action against people around them at the ancient battleground. They all waited quietly.

Again, this was a comprehensive setting but it was no longer a forest, but a plain with copses and thickets to hide, as well as swamps and boulders.

The location would change every time to ensure fairness.

Su Ping was no longer interested since Su Lingyue had passed her trial. He leaned against his chair to take a rest.

Qin Shuhai was speechless. He was hoping that Su Ping could see the performance of the young man that was going to be the future family head of the Qin Family. Qin Shuhai thought this would be a good opportunity for Su Ping to learn about that young man’s talents.

Only that Su Ping was not curious at all.

Was he really that confident?

Time flew by quickly.

More and more trials began and ended. Every now and then, the audiences would cheer and chant.

Some participants had revealed their ferocity during the trials. There was one that killed almost seventy participants and snatched five Dreamland Stones, getting the most points as a result. Of all the winners, he still ranked at the top and caught much attention.

“The young man from the Ye Family has such a foul and evil spirit!”

“I know that those people didn’t actually die. That being said, this young man must have offended many people after what he did in there.”

“I heard that this young man, the future family head of the Ye Family, is very talented. He didn’t move up to the advanced level because he wanted to participate in this year’s Elite League.” “He can use powers at the ninth-rank when he is at the sixth-rank! What a genius!”

In the staging area, the participants were in a heated discussion.

The Mu Family participants stayed in one area. A young man was clearly the leader. He was going to lead the Mu family in the future and was a few years younger than the Ye family youth. This year, the Mu family boy did not plan on achieving a high ranking. He was merely here to gain experience.

“This year, the competition between the Ye family and the Qin family is going to be interesting,” a young man of the Mu family commented.

During the previous Elite League, the champion was a person from the Mu family. This time, Mu Chen had just graduated from the academy. He was still a green hand and naturally did not plan on fighting for the championship.

Every dog has its day. The Mu family never expected that he would become the champion.

“Liu Jianxin is a nice one as well. He is a gifted person,” Mu Chen said calmly.

His target was to make it to the Top 10 this time. Yet, he would still hold those that could be among the Top 5 or Top 3 in contempt.

Just because he was the future family head of the Mu family.

In three years at the next Elite League, his target would be the championship!

At the Liu family gathering spot.

“Brother Jianxin, that girl is Su Lingyue. She sure is pretty.” A Liu family boy grinned.

Liu Jianxin first darted a glance at Su Lingyue and then replied, “Do not underestimate her. That dragon has not displayed its full power.”

“That won’t be a problem. If you ask me, I think that dragon is at the eighth-rank at most, just like what our family head speculated. That girl is weak. When we take her out, her pet won’t change a thing no matter how strong it is.”

“Alas, I didn’t run into her. Otherwise, I would have made her cry and lose the trial.”

“I was in the same round with her but I didn’t find her.”

“Quit it. Our true opponent is the guy from the Qin family. Qin Shaotian hasn’t used his major pet yet. He can pass the trial with a pet of the seventh-rank bloodline. I heard that the guy killed ninth-rank beasts in the Mysterious Realm but I don’t know if that is true.”

“Ninth-rank? How is that possible!”

“He might have done it but he must have had the help of the seniors in his family. Where did you hear this?”

The Liu family participants fixed their gazes on the Qin family with worry. They couldn’t confirm whether that piece of news was true or fake, but indeed, they found Qin Shaotian dread-inspiring. The scariest thing was not his pet, but his grace in battle. He conducted himself with skill and elegance during battle, as if the matches were meant for creating pieces of art. That was both beautiful and frightening.

The Qin family.

A young man with a composed look and a tall figure sat in this area with others from the Qin family sitting around him. He was not looking at other participants. Rather, he raised his head and gazed at the blue sky and the white clouds.

The floating clouds seemed to have intrigued him.

“Sir, Mu Chen is still inexperienced but his guardian is terrifying. The latter has kept a low key but I believe he is at least at the eighth-rank!”

“The same can be said for the Liu family. Apart from their future family head, that Liu Jianxin is aggressive as well. I heard that he is guaranteed to get into the Top 5.” “The talent of the Ye family is not to be underestimated!”

Those of the Qin family were keeping Qin Shaotian up to date.

They had finished their reports but Qin Shaotian was still looking into the sky. They raised their heads as well but failed to find anything interesting in the heavens.

They looked at each other with a bitter smile. Finally, someone worked up the courage and asked, “Have you heard... What we said?”

Qin Shaotian closed his eyes for a second and then opened them again. “Do you see the sword?” he said in a low voice.

The sword?

They looked up to the sky again. All they could see were the clouds. What sword?
