Chapter 546: Seize Every Opportunity

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations  Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

That day, Sima You Yue and everyone were in the desert drinking and chatting. They sighed at how the examination still had not ended. Immediately, the scenery changed. They had left the boundless desert and arrived in a wide venue.

“Welcome back.” The teacher from before glanced at them. The group of ten thousands had shrank into two-three thousand. He had wanted a smaller group, but in reflection, it must be due to the unforeseen event in the middle.

“Teacher, did we pass the first phase?” A student asked.

The teacher nodded, “Next, you all will rest for a day to recover and address your injuries. You can meditate here or go outside. But tomorrow, you must show up at this time. If you’re late, you’re forfeiting your examination chance.”

He left the venue as soon as he finished.

A majority of them chose to stay here and cultivate, recovering their strength. A few chose to go outside.

Sima You Yue and the party chosen to meditate here. A day’s time wasn’t enough to complete anything outside. It was better to recover their spirit power.

A day later, the same teacher appeared in the venue. “This is the start of the second phase of the examination. Do you see the large doors behind you all?”

Everyone one by one turned around, looking at the huge door.

“For your second examination, enter this large door and continue to walk forward. After three days later, if you can leave through the other door, you passed this phase. If the number of people are too much, we will only choose the first thousand.” Then the huge door gradually opened, and a thick fog filled the air. The people on the outside could not see clearly the scenery inside.

“Enter.” The teacher waved his hand. The students present felt a force pushing them inside the door.

In lieu of the last incident, Sima You Yue grabbed onto the people close to her, so when she entered, she would not be alone again.

She saw many people disappeared in front of her when they entered the thick fog. The thick fog had a transmission ability.

“Bang Bang Bang——”

The sound of large objects falling on the ground came in succession, followed by anguished cries of pain.

“My god, how can you be so heavy?” Fatty Qu almost fainted from the weight of people on top of him.

For everyone to stay together, they purposely hold onto the person next to them, and thus fell onto another. Fatty Qu was at the bottom, so he was squashed the most.

Everyone quickly got up. Little Tu supported Fatty Qu up and stared at him with large cute eyes. “Brother Fatty, are you alright?”

“I’m okay.” Fatty Qu patted the soil of himself. It was good that he cultivated his body, and he was stronger than a normal person. Or else, who knew what he would be pressed into.

Sima You Yue peered around. It was good that everyone was here. A little far off, there were some unfamiliar people.

“In which direction should we head to?”

“We’re probably in the woods. The thick fog is blocking our view. But we cannot head in any direction, otherwise we might get farther and farther from the exit.” Sima You Ran stated.

“Then try with a compass.” Sima You Le took out a compass. But the needle kept spinning around; it was of no use.

“It’s probably the magnetic field is wrong.” Sima You Lin watched the response of the compass.

“Then we can only choose a direction to take.” Sima You Ming said.

“Wait a second.” Sima You Yue took out Scarlet in order for them to find directions. She was surprised that the thick fog did not affect them.

“Is there any use?”

“Mm, we most likely can find the exit.” Sima You Yue nodded. “We’ll wait here.”

She summoned several hundred scarlet bees and let them disguise as ordinary bees and explored the surroundings. She then told the rest to stay at the original place and wait, with no hurry to leave at all. A day later, she told them they could start, and led them in one certain direction.

They walked for one whole day. The fog was getting thicker. In order for everyone not to get lost, they held hands while moving forward.

By the end of the second day, they finally saw the exit.

After walking through the gate, they saw green hills and blue water. A hundred people were standing by the little river. They weren’t outstanding. When they glanced back, there was no gate but only a forest.

“You Yue, you guys also came out!” Tuoba Yan Er waved towards Sima You Yue and her party.

Sima You Yue walked over and saw that the Tuoba clan were all here as well.

“You been here long?”

“Mm, our luck was pretty good. We landed very close to the exit. We came out yesterday.” Tuoba Yan Er told. “Yours is also pretty good to arrive today.”

Sima You Yue laughed wordlessly. Did she cheat? Under considerations, she didn’t. Since the sect created such as trial then they must have wanted to examine everyone’s ability to leave the forest. They wouldn’t take to heart what method was used.

“Presently, about a hundred has came out. I think by the end of tomorrow, the number will not be small.” Sima You Ming exclaimed.

“But it probably won’t surpass the quota of a thousand.” Feng Wu Hen added.

“It’s hard to say right now. It depends on tomorrow. A lot more people will appear tomorrow.” Tuoba Han said.

Sima You Yue also agreed with him. The third day should be where the largest number of people will appear. Most of the people who left within the first two days relied on luck and opportunism. Those people should come out the third day.

One day passed in a blink of an eye. By the end of the third day, more than eight hundred people had passed the test. All the others who did appear were disqualified and sent out of the sect.

“Congratulations on passing the second phase of the examination. Now look up at the mountain in front of you. ” They didn’t know when the teacher in charge of the assessment appeared at the foot of a mountain. Behind him was a towering mountain. Layers of stone steps ascended from the ground into the clouds.

“So tall!” Someone exclaimed.

“Your third phase of the examination is to walk to the top of the mountain. You can use your magical weapons and spirit power. Walk as high as you can. There is no time limit for this trial. You can start anytime now.”

His figure gradually disappeared from the spot as he had never been here before.

“That’s all?” Some students shouted in surprise when they saw the teacher disappeared.

“It’s just a projection. What’s the fuss! ” A red haired woman snorted coldly and stepped on the stone steps first.

The stone steps at the foot of the mountain were very wide. Each step was two or three meters long. Several people would not feel squished when they stand together. When they saw that the woman had gone up, they all swarmed forward.

Sima You Yue did not move. She watched them running forward excitedly.

“You’re not going up?” Tuoba Han asked beside her.

“What’s the hurry. Going first doesn’t mean you’ll climb as high.” Sima You Yue calmly spoke.

Tuoba Han glanced at her with approval, then looked up at the flight of stairs. “Do you know what kind of place this is?”
