Chapter 9: The Ritual Ends, and the Trial Comes

"Come out, come out", leaving the world behind the door, suddenly stimulated by the sunlight above Stillar, Slang subconsciously closed his eyes, but at this time he heard a familiar voice, followed by a collision of bodies.

"Why are you so slow, Death Slang, everyone is worried about whether you're in trouble. The familiar voice sounded again, as pleasant as the chirping of a lark, but this time the voice was mixed with a hint of worry and joy.

After a few moments, when he opened his eyes, the blue-eyed boy had already adapted to the change in his environment.

In front of you, the Phoenix arena was packed, just like the scene in memory, and the round wheel door was still floating quietly in mid-air, giving people a wonderful feeling.

Looking at the strange door behind him, whether it was Si Lang or Fang Ji, there was a feeling of being in a different world. What they had experienced inside the door was even more complicated than the life of the past ten years.

There, the boy from another world resees the scenery of the planet mother in his memory, which is the risk that his best friend is willing to take for him, even if his future life is willing to be dull; there, the aboriginal people complete the most important ritual, and the big stone in their hearts finally falls, and the price is also that the best friend from the foreign country abandons the shackles of the past and is willing to leave only the memory; there, the boy from the different world completes the eternal contract, and the contract is established because they are willing to give up for each other, so the phantom beast that witnessed their oath came to this world, which is a transcendent existence, and it is the crystallization that can bring miracles to the two of them。

Compared to the beginning of the ceremony, the Phoenix arena was noticeably empty, the center of the venue was not crowded, and it was clear that there were still candidates who had not finished the ceremony.

Thinking that he was not the last to end the trial, Slang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the direction of Lingxue's voice just now, he nodded slightly, and the young man said with some apologies: "I'm sorry, because it's the first time I've encountered such a thing, so I delayed a while."

"Hmph", hearing Si Lang's slightly apologetic reply, Ling Xue didn't say anything more, just shrugged her nose at Si Lang, rolled her eyes, and changed the topic, "What rank have you awakened, Si Lang, I'll tell you oh, I'm ......."

"Okay, Lingxue", seeing that the lark still wanted to continue pestering, Radill interjected and interrupted the girl's words, "Let's wait until the ceremony is over, the commanders don't have any plans to leave, and the ceremony won't end so simply."

"Got it", hearing Ladhir's words, Lingxue shouted, and then coquettishly said to the mermaid and the snow elf: "Sister Ya, Nini, that villain dragon bullies people." ”

Hearing Lingxue's complaint, Radier rolled her eyes helplessly, while Nellia touched Lingxue's little head and said softly: "Radier is right, it's really not appropriate to say this now, and according to past experience, the ceremony is not over yet, just calm down and wait, and other things will be talked about later." ”

At this time, Fei Ni also walked to Lingxue's side, took her little hand and ran to the side to whisper.

After explaining to Lingxue, after seeing Fini's movements, Nellia moved to Slang's side, and her big beautiful eyes looked at him with a hint of worry: "Was there any injury in the ceremony just now?"

Looking at the girl's worried expression, Si Lang smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just that I'm not used to it, so it's a little late, so there's no need to worry." ”

"That's good", Nellia seemed to be relieved to hear Slang's exact reply: "If there's anything wrong, you can come to me when it's over, and I'll help you take a look." ”

Hearing the girl's response, Si Long was slightly stunned, and then with a hint of question: "Is it that rank?"

Hearing Slang's question, Nellia's face turned slightly red, and she said a soft "um", and ran to join the whispering team of Fei Ni and Ling Xue.

"It's okay" walked over to Slang's side, and hearing his conversation with Nelia, Radier gently patted Slang on the shoulder, while Ace nodded at Slang in concern.

As for the dwarf El, he just waved his arm at Slang, indicating that if there was any problem, he could always come to him, and then continued to pick up his own wine jug and pour wine.

Looking at everyone, Si Lang felt very fortunate that he was able to meet such a partner after encountering Fang Scar.

Time passed in silence, and when the last participant stepped over the round door wheel and returned to the real world, the empty trail that turned into a purple staircase slowly dissipated into the air. The door that had been opened slowly closed, and finally swirled and shrunk and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the sage Ars stood up and met everyone's gaze without any discomfort, and a slightly vicissitudes of life voice came out, drifting to the ears of those present.

"First of all, let me congratulate all of you who have successfully broken through your shackles and awakened ranks in this ceremony, please remember everything you encountered in the ceremony, and work hard to sharpen yourself, and finally achieve something."

After sending sincere blessings to the participants, the sage continued, "Although everyone here has awakened to the ranks, it does not mean that the ceremony is over. In addition to awakening, there is also a way of trial, and this is also the practice of everyone here who is familiar with their own awakening of employment. There was another pause, and after the participants had laughed at what they had said, the sage continued with the rest of the story.

"Five days later, the personnel who participated in the Rank Awakening Ceremony, led by their respective guides, will assemble outside the southern gate of the imperial capital, and the second phase of the trial will begin. As the trial will last for a while, it is important to be prepared. Then, the first stage of the Rank Awakening Trial Ritual is over, and you will meet in five days. ”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, the sage left the Phoenix Assembly Hall directly, accompanied by the other ten rulers.

At this point, the first phase of the Rank Awakening Ceremony is officially over, even if there is the pressure of the trial, but tonight's Stilal is destined to be a city that never sleeps.

Late at night, the imperial capital was still in a noisy state, but Si Lang and his party were all concentrated in the resting hotel.

"What do you think of what you think about the five days from now?" Radir asked the people in the mercenary group.

After a period of silence, Ace broke the atmosphere first: "From the words of the sage, I feel that the trial in five days may be more difficult to solve than imagined. First of all, at least prepare about two weeks of dry food, and then screen the places that can be connected outside the south gate to see where the trial is taking place, and take advantage of these five days to familiarize yourself with the abilities of their respective awakening ranks. With a slight pause, as if organizing the language, the elder brother of the Snow Elves continued.

"In addition, I don't know what the rules of the trial are, whether it must be done alone or in a team, whether there are any restrictions on teaming, whether other people cannot be attacked during the trial, etc., I have a headache when I think about it. ”

"My opinion is the same as Ace's, this trial is different from the ritual, there must be a certain degree of danger, and you must be fully prepared. In addition, I estimate that tomorrow the facilitator will explain to us the basic things to pay attention to, and as for the deeper issues, they must be deduced from the words of the facilitator. Hearing Ace's speech, Nellia also added on the side.

"So, let's do it today, go out and buy the necessary items tomorrow, and then wait for the guide's answer. In addition, since you want to familiarize yourself with your own awakened ranks in just a few days, let's introduce your own situation first, after all, all of you here are trustworthy partners. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Radir continued: "Let me come first, my awakened rank is a dragon martial artist, and he is good at frontal attack and defense, mainly relying on physical abilities. ”

"I'll come the second one", seeing someone taking the lead, Si Lang said, "I have awakened a phantom beast master, and this is my phantom beast - Star Butterfly." After speaking, everyone only felt a soul fluctuation faintly flashing, and the next moment, a beautiful phantom beast appeared on the young man's shoulder.

Then the impact of the high-decibel scream began to explode.

"Ahhh The little cute thing on the shoulders is a star butterfly.

Seeing the crazy girl rushing towards her with her eyes glowing, Starbutterfly was so frightened that she immediately instigated her wings and flew into the air. In the end, Lingxue, who was in the air, glared at Si Lang fiercely, and then began the arduous abduction operation.

Si Lang glared back at Lingxue depressedly, thinking to himself, "Your nymphomaniac appearance just now, let alone a star butterfly, even I was scared."

At this time, the other two beauties also joined Lingxue's cute abduction operation. For a while, all kinds of girlish voices sounded in the room.

"What a cute little guy, hurry up and come to my sister's place, my sister will give you candy to eat", this was Lingxue's voice.

"Little one, your name is Xingdie, right? Come on, come on, touch your sister, and my sister will help you dress up beautifully. At this time, Finney, who had always been silent, also joined in the agitation, and Ace was stunned for a moment. It seems that as Fini's brother, Ace rarely sees his sister so active.

"What a pretty little one. This was the admiration of the gentle mermaid girl, and after praising the beautiful appearance of the little cute thing, Nelia turned to Slang and asked worriedly, "Although this little guy looks cute, is he up to the job of protecting you?"

Hearing Nellia's worries, Slang smiled lightly: "Actually, I don't know exactly what Star Butterfly's current ability is, but one thing is for sure, the little guy's combat power is not low." After finishing speaking, he nodded in the direction of Lingxue and Fini.

Seeing the direction that Si Lang's eyes were looking at, Nellia also slept slightly, the little guy's "combat effectiveness" was indeed not low.

As if hearing Nellia's question and feeling Slang's gaze, the star butterfly flapped its beautiful butterfly wings, and the next moment it appeared on Slang's shoulder from mid-air, and her cute little head rubbed Slang's cheek.

Before Slang could react, he flapped his wings again and appeared in front of Nellia, sniffing with his little nose and rolling his big eyes, and then rushed towards the mermaid.

Seeing the little cute goods rushing towards her, she was afraid that the little guy would hurt herself by mistake, so the mermaid girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch it.

The little guy caught by Nellia rubbed his little head against the mermaid's chest, making a comfortable sound of "woo woo", and then "temporarily" rested on the mermaid's body.

was rubbed into a sensitive position by the star butterfly, a good-looking flush flashed on the girl's face, and then raised her hand and gently patted the little cute head, and said coquettishly: "Lustful little guy, don't learn from your bad master." ”

The little guy who was patted on the head by Nellia raised his big eyes and looked at it with a puzzled look, then ignored it and buried his little head in Nellia's chest again.

As if they had just reacted, Lingxue and Fini were very deflated when they saw that the little guy had shrunk into Nellia's arms. Looking at Nellia's chest, and then at her little apple, the girl of the Water Spirit Clan squatted directly to the side to change circles.

And Finney also looked at Nellia and Lingxue, although she was a little better than Lingxue, but compared to Nellia, the gap was still too big. As a result, there is another beautiful girl on the ground who draws circles.

Seeing the movements of Fei Ni and Ling Xue, Nellia blushed with shame, hugged the little guy and walked to the two who were drawing circles, and each of them gently rewarded a chestnut: "Don't make trouble." After saying that, he gave Si Lang a beautiful big look.

Seeing Nellia's big eyes, Slang turned his head to the side and pretended to look around at the scenery, which provoked the mermaid to stomp her feet again.

Radier and Ace, who were watching the prime-time theater the whole time, spread their hands and said that they couldn't help, and the dwarf El whistled to Slang. Although he was looking around at the scenery, Slang always felt that something was missing, as if no one had hurt him. But the next moment, he laughed at himself, how could anyone think like this.

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Ace came out of the round with righteousness: "Since Radir and Slang have said it, then let me continue." I'm a Snow Dancer who specializes in short-to-medium combat with dual swords, while Fini is an Ice Archer who uses a bow and arrow for long-range sniping and support. ”

Hearing her brother's introduction, Fei Ni didn't mess with Lingxue, but nodded at everyone, affirming Ace's statement.

"Then the next me, I'm awakened as a Hammer Defender, good at defense and counterattacking. Keeping the dwarven spirit simple and clear, Elle said in a word what he had awakened and what he was good at.

Seeing that Fei Ni was no longer naughty with herself, Ling Xue also sighed with a vigorous "resurrection": "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm awakening the ice spirit, what's the matter?"

As if to show off, Ling Xue looked at everyone with a blank eye after telling her about her situation, her big eyes blinking as if she were talking, as if to say, "Come and praise me", but in exchange for everyone's strange eyes.

After all, in everyone's impression, the Ice Spirit is a very rare position, and most of the cultivators who awaken the Ice Spirit are relatively taciturn and cold, how can there be someone as lively and active as Little Sister Lingxue?

As if to understand the surprise in everyone's eyes, Lingxue's little sister once again lay on the ground in frustration and drew circles.

Looking at the little beauty's small movements funny, Nellia let go of Xingdie, walked to Lingxue's side and gently hugged her petite body, and comforted her dotingly: "Lingxue is really powerful, she actually awakened such a powerful profession as Bing Ling." ”

Hearing the mermaid's soft voice, the crazy girl also said as if she was embarrassed: "No, no, no, I'm just lucky, and now you didn't say it, Sister Ya, hurry up, people want to know." ”

"Luck is also a kind of strength," comforted Lingxue again, and Nellia no longer dwelled on this matter, but said to everyone: "What I awakened is the mermaid sea sacrifice, and I am good at healing and assisting. ”

Hearing Nellia's introduction, and then remembering what the mermaid said at the Phoenix convention, Slang secretly said "Sure enough".

Seeing that the last person had also finished introducing himself, Radil said to the crowd, "Then this is the end of tonight, and tomorrow when the guide arrives to learn about the trial, let's carry it out according to the original plan." ”

After summing up the events of the night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
