The soul beasts on the first floor of the canyon are mainly herbivorous soul beasts. There are a few carnivorous soul beasts, but they will not attack soul masters unless they actively attack them.
I was walking alone in the forest, occasionally running into other classmates who were entering the canyon.
About half a day later, Tuoba Yan followed the map and reached the end of the first floor.
In front of him was a five-kilometer-wide desert.
The desert separates the first and second layers of the canyon.
The Spirit Hall had been operating the canyon for over a thousand years, and it had built a wall of isolation in the center.
The city wall is more than seventy meters high.
The desert and the city walls have become almost insurmountable obstacles for the soul beasts in the canyon.
There are soldiers guarding the city walls.
The city gates are normally closed. Only during the trial period will the city gates be open 24 hours a day.
Tuoba Yan stepped into the second floor without any hindrance.
Entering the second layer of the canyon, the spirit beasts encountered had changed significantly. Occasionally, I would encounter carnivorous wolves that were over a hundred years old.
The danger level in the forest has increased dramatically. At the same time, you can often encounter patrolling palace knights.
...
Half a month later, almost all the students who participated in the trial withdrew from the canyon.
On the high platform in the square at the entrance of the canyon, Tuoba Xi sat on the side, and a woman sat in the first seat.
She was not tall, and her long, golden gown fit her perfectly from head to toe. The dazzling gown shimmered with jewels, and was adorned with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones.
The nine-curved purple gold crown on his head was even more brilliant, and in his hand he held a scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless gems.
There is only one person in the Spirit Hall who can wear the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, and that person is Pope Bibi Dong.
Her fair skin and near-perfect features made her stand out from the crowd.
Especially the invisible nobility and holiness that emanates from him, which makes people unable to help but feel like worshipping him.
"The trial is finally over!"
"I have no hope of making the top 20. I wonder who the top three will be this time."
"That's not the point. Rumor has it that the Pope will select outstanding students from this year's graduates to become her students. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be chosen by the Pope, taken as her disciple, and become a future saint!"
Tuoba Yan, who was waiting for the closing ceremony, listened to the discussions of the people around him and glanced at Bibi Dong on the podium.
According to the development of the story line, Bibi Dong will accept Hu Liena as her apprentice at the closing ceremony.
While waiting, the emcee on the podium announced the results of the trial.
"Zhang Ping, fourth place, climbed to the fifth floor. Reward: ten crystal peaches."
Crystal Peach: A magical item found on the Douluo Continent that contains soul power and can be consumed directly to increase soul power. This item blooms and bears fruit once every ten years. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon for twenty years and has a market value of fifty thousand gold soul coins.
Most importantly, this substance can be taken indefinitely without any side effects.
Looking across the mainland, some top powers and families have cultivated a certain number of crystal peaches.
Because the fruit takes so long to mature and is so expensive to manage, it's always prone to being blown away by the wind or eaten by insects, making crystal peaches a luxury item on the mainland. They often have a high price but are often out of stock.
Ten crystal peaches are equivalent to being rewarded with 500,000 gold soul coins.
"According to the rules, those who reach the fifth level will be rewarded with an additional 500,000 gold soul coins and will directly enter the Pope's Temple."
Under the emcee's guidance, Zhang Ping walked up to the podium to receive her award.
"Hu Liena, Xie Yue."
When the emcee read out Hu Liena and Xie Yue's names, they were startled.
Their goal was to win the championship. The emcee read out their names, which indicated that someone else had been crowned the champion.
"Hu Liena and Xie Yue, sixth floor, tied for second place. Reward: ten crystal peaches. Herbs: Enchanting Purple Fox Orchid and Blood Moon Glazed Grass."
"According to the rules, those who climb to the sixth floor will receive an additional one million gold soul coins, direct access to the Papal Temple, and 10 medal points."
"Please invite Hu Liena and Xie Yue to the stage to receive their awards!"
The reward was very generous, but Xie Yue and Hu Liena were not happy.
"Brother, it took us ten days to reach the sixth floor. Is there anyone in this class who is better than us?"
"Sister, please be patient. Perhaps there are talented people hidden in the other three academies."
Xie Yue walked up to the high platform and received the reward from Tuoba Xi. Looking down from his vantage point, his gaze swept over Tuoba Yan.
Before meeting Tuoba Yan, Xie Yue had never submitted to anyone. After being defeated by Tuoba Yan, Xie Yue began to realize that there is always someone better than you.
After the second place, the first place is the champion of this trial.
Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the emcee stepped forward and announced, "Ahem, next up is the winner of this year's Trial Competition. He is... from the East District Junior Soul Master Academy... Tuoba Yan!"
"What? How could it be him?"
"That's impossible!"
Xie Yue and Hu Liena frowned, their eyes filled with disbelief as they watched Tuoba Yan stride up the steps leading to the high platform.
Zhang Ping was stopped at the fifth floor due to her lack of strength.
The sixth level is teeming with soul beasts that can live for ten thousand years, making it extremely dangerous.
Zhang Ping suffered numerous injuries while attempting to conquer the fifth level. Hu Liena and Xie Yue, however, were able to combine their martial souls to form a fusion skill and fought their way out of the sixth level.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena remembered that Zhang Ping had left the trial before them. Furthermore, Zhang Ping had told them personally that Tuoba Yan had left the Soul Hunting Valley on the seventh day.
Hu Liena clenched her hands slightly, unable to accept the reality. She questioned, "Master, as far as I know, Tuoba Yan only stayed in the Soul Hunting Valley for seven days. Climbing the sixth level of the canyon in seven days is absolutely impossible!"
The emcee said in a serious tone, "I didn't say he reached the sixth floor. He cleared the canyon!"
"The tenth floor?!"
"Hiss~"
Everyone in the field gasped.
Then, everyone erupted in cheers.
The tradition of the trials has continued for thousands of years. The dangers of each level of the canyon are carefully designed, and those who can climb to the fifth level are already a genius among the best.
If one can reach the sixth level, he can be called a genius rarely seen in a century.
From ancient times to the present, up to Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the highest graduation record is the seventh level.
There are only two people who left such records, one is Bibi Dong, and the other is the Judgment Elder Qian Daoliu.
Over the millennia, only a handful of students have ever climbed to the sixth floor; the number has never exceeded five hundred.
But the emcee said that Tuoba Yan had cleared the canyon.
"impossible!"
"He looks so young. Even a Soul King couldn't clear the perilous Soul Hunting Valley in fifteen days."
"There must be something shady going on!"
"Tuoba Yan, I remember now. He is the son of Platinum Bishop Tuoba Xi. There must be something shady going on!"
"A thorough investigation is required! We strongly demand a thorough investigation into this matter. We demand a fair explanation for everyone!"
