Chapter 134: Life and Death
The huge academy competition hall was overcrowded.
Today is the day when the trial of life and death in the academy officially begins.
According to the rules of the academy, students who score in the top 20 in the academy competition are eligible to enter the trial of life and death. Of course, you can also choose to cultivate safely and give up this rare opportunity.
After all, the Gate of Life and Death is not as comfortable as the Academy, and there is a danger of dying at any time.
Zhu Shuai held Yu Yao's little hand tightly and stood on the competition platform, waiting for the arrival of the Great Elder.
This year's trial of life and death is even more exciting than previous years. Because everyone knows that the grievances between Zhu Shuai and Yu Gao and his gang are very likely to be resolved within the door of life and death.
So everyone gathered here to see who would come back alive from the door of life and death in the end.
Yu Gao Yumeng and the others stood aside with gloomy faces, and their vicious eyes kept sweeping over Zhu Shuai and Yu Yao. These days, they have made full preparations, as long as Zhu Shuai dares to enter the door of life and death, they are sure that Zhu Shuai will stay there forever.
As soon as Zhu Shuai died, then Yuyao let them bully.
Facing the cold gaze of Yu Gao and others, Zhu Shuai's face only had a faint smile.
After successfully devouring the colorful phantom spirit, Zhu Shuai's strength jumped directly from the second-stage archmage to the sixth-stage archmage, and now Zhu Shuai is fighting against Yu Gao, basically without much effort, he can easily kill it.
Therefore, who will finally walk out of the door of life and death alive is not certain.
In the midst of the noise of everyone, the Great Elder walked into the air and slowly arrived.
"I think all of you know that the door of life and death is very dangerous, and every year there are outstanding students who die in it, so the trial academy of life and death is not forced, if any of you feel scared, you can raise it now. The Great Elder looked at the twenty people on the competition platform and said in a loud voice.
After listening to the Great Elder's orders, everyone's eyes were all focused on Zhu Shuai and Yu Gao.
The Great Elder didn't know about the grievances between Zhu Shuai and Yu Gao, so there was no difference in their attitude.
But the other students are different, everyone knows that the hatred between the two has reached the point of not dying, so Zhu Shuai and Yu Gao will definitely not withdraw from this year's trial of life and death.
And the ending was completely unexpected by everyone.
With the exception of a fourth-year student from the Wood and Earth branches, none of the others voluntarily quit.
"Very well, in that case, you can sign this life and death certificate!" the Great Elder took a stack of contracts from the side and distributed them to the remaining eighteen people.
As long as you sign the life and death certificate, then your life and death in the door of life and death have nothing to do with the college, and you are responsible for all the consequences.
That's what makes the door of life and death terrifying.
Zhu Shuai and Yu Yao glanced at each other, and after signaling to each other, they signed their names on the life and death certificate at the same time.
signed this life and death certificate, then Zhu Shuai and Yu Yao's lives are completely tied together, either living together or dying together.
After all the eighteen people had signed the life and death certificates, the Great Elder took them back one by one and continued: "Now that the life and death certificates have been signed, you can enter the life and death gate, but I want to say that everyone is the pride of Kairo Academy, so you must be careful in the trial, and you must not be careless." ”
"If your companions are in danger, I hope you can lend a hand, and the Academy doesn't want to see any of you harmed. ”
"Alright, without further ado, now, you can enter the door of life and death. Remember, you must not go beyond the threshold of life and death, otherwise, your life will really be lost. ”
"I hope that when the trial is over, all eighteen of you will return intact. ”
The Great Elder looked at the crowd on the competition platform kindly.
Every year, students will die in the trial of life and death, but the academy has never stopped this trial that people love and fear.
Why? Because college life is too easy.
It's so comfortable that it makes students feel like that's how life should be. The students are like flowers in a greenhouse, carefully cared for by their mentors and elders.
But life outside the academy was far more cruel than the students imagined, so the elders retained the trial of life and death after voting and negotiating.
Only when a student has truly experienced the trial of life and death and comes back alive from it can he truly be called outstanding and truly grow!
Perhaps, one of the eighteen students in front of him will stay in the door of life and death forever, but the students who come out alive will definitely have extraordinary achievements.
Therefore, the trial of life and death still has more advantages than disadvantages.
After the Great Elder gave some kind instructions, he led eighteen people to the door with a heavy flash, and with a heavy sound, the gate of life and death slowly opened!
"Go, children, and look forward to your fruitful and victorious return!"
Zhu Shuai and the others, after bowing to the Great Elder, entered the Gate of Life and Death in turn.
The Academy's Gate of Life and Death, connected to the Heavenly Tomb Mountain Range. So as soon as I got out of the door of life and death, I was surrounded by rocky and dense forests, and from time to time there were a few screams of demonic beasts.
Zhu Shuai, Yuyao, Lin Hao, and Xifeng quickly gathered together, and after identifying the direction clearly, under the leadership of Xifeng, they walked in the direction of the mysterious cave that Xifeng said.
And after Yu Gao glanced at Zhu Shuai fiercely, he also gathered with Yumeng Murong Han Dong and others and walked in another direction.
Now that they have just entered the door of life and death, they are afraid that they will be stopped by the elders at this time, and they may be disqualified from conducting trials, so everyone chose to disperse for the time being, and wait until they reach the depths of the Heavenly Tomb Mountain Range to solve each other.
Watching Yu Gao and the others go away, Zhu Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Gao and their party, there were six people, in addition to Yu Gao Yumeng Murong Han Dong, there were also two eight-stage archmages, who were also invited to join their team.
As for the other students who entered the door of life and death, they all knew the grievances between the two, so they didn't wade into this troubled water, they scattered one after another, and entered the dense forest alone or in pairs.
And in his own team, there are only four people, so in terms of strength, he is slightly inferior to Yu Gao and others.
However, the strength of his own group, except for Yu Yao, is not weak, so even if he encounters it head-on, he should be able to compete with it.
After weighing the strength of both sides in his heart, Zhu Shuai gave up the idea of keeping up.
Let's go to the cave that Zephyr said first, if you can get something good in it, maybe you will improve your strength again, and when the time comes, you will have a better chance of winning.
The Gate of Life and Death was actually a relatively safe area forcibly opened up by the Academy elders in the Heavenly Tomb Mountain Range.
Every year before the door of life and death is opened, the elders of the academy will conduct a carpet search of the area of the door of life and death, and drive out the demonic beasts above the third order.
In this way, students will not be threatened when they enter the door of life and death.
Things can't be perfect, though.
Although the elders do their best to ensure the safety of the students every year, there are still some negligences.
The mysterious cave that Zephyr spoke of was a dangerous place that the elders had not noticed.
Under the leadership of the west wind, Zhu Shuai and his party moved forward quickly. Although there were some first-order and second-order demonic beasts around, they didn't pose any threat to the four of them at all, and all of them became the souls of the four of them.
Along the way, Zhu Shuai and the four of them even collected a few beast cores.
After a day's journey, Zephyr motioned for everyone to rest in place.
It was almost night, and it was particularly dangerous to walk at night, so the four of them decided to find a safe place to spend the night.
As for the mysterious cave, Senior Zephyr said that it could be reached tomorrow.
Found a relatively spacious cave around, Yu Yao sprinkled a circle of insect repellent powder at the entrance of the cave, and Xifeng found some dry firewood and set up torches.
Zhu Shuai found some boulders and dry firewood from nearby, and carefully hid the entrance of the cave, so that there was no cave found here from the outside, and everyone could rest with peace of mind and no longer have to take turns to keep vigil.
Afterwards, the four of them took out some food and water from the ring, and after eating it simply, they began to rest.
Traveling in the Heavenly Tomb Mountain Range was very energy-consuming, so several people took advantage of this short rest time to recover their state.
Tomorrow, we will arrive at the mysterious cave, and when the time comes, there will be a great battle.
