On the martial arts field, the freshmen began to arrive one after another, waiting for the beginning of the freshman trial.

"This Haiyao, why is he late again!" Xu Xiaofan muttered, the group of Spirit Beast Courtyard had already arrived.

"Hey, hey, it's clear that I arrived earlier than you, okay? Hai Yao's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Huh?" Xu Xiaofan looked back and saw Hai Yao, and then said with a suspicious face: "I don't believe it, every time you are late, you will appear behind the back of others." ”

Hai Yao stumbled when he heard this, and then pointed to a stone platform not far away with a sad face and said, "I came here early this morning, standing on the other side of that stone platform, and I came over when I saw you coming." ”

"Seeing that you look so sincere, let's believe you for a while. Xu Xiaofan seemed to remember something after speaking, and asked Haiyao: "By the way, how is your special training?"

Hai Yao grinned: "It's a little bit of a success." ”

"Oh~ Then it's up to you to perform today. Xu Xiaofan said with a smile.

At this time, Wu Wanjun's voice came from the rostrum.

"Students, the freshman trial will start soon, please stand in front of the rostrum, each team is lined up in a column, and the assessment teacher of the trial will be arranged for everyone later. ”

"There are two phases of the Freshman Trial, the first stage is the group trial stage, where different trial teams will go to different trial spaces, and then accept the trial tasks in that space, and then pass the tasks after completion. ”

"The second stage is the personal trial stage, only the strength of the new students recognized by the assessment teacher, can participate in the second stage of the trial, the test content will be explained in detail by the assessment teacher at that time. ”

"Next, let's start arranging a trial teacher for everyone. As soon as Wu Wanjun's voice fell, more than 100 teachers walked over from the sidelines.

Then Hai Yao and the others ushered in their team's instructor, a young man who looked very young, only twenty-five or six years old.

The young man greeted Haiyao with a smile and said, "Hello everyone, I am the assessment teacher of your team, and my name is Long Cehe. ”

"Hello Mr. Long!" the group greeted obediently.

"There are so many of you in the team. Long Cehe raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I can relax a little bit today." ”

"Wouldn't it be more troublesome if there were more people?" asked Hai Yao suspiciously.

"Haha, no, if there are a lot of people, you can solve the general small problems by yourself, I just need to pay attention to some big scenes, in this way, I can save a lot of effort, and I can better complete my trial task later." Long Cehe said with a smile.

"Teacher, do you also have a trial mission?" Hai Yao quickly caught the message in Long Ce's congratulatory words.

"Of course, the task of us teachers is to maintain the stability of the trial space, so while assessing you, we will remove some unstable factors by the way. Long Cehe explained.

Just as Hai Yao was about to ask something, Wu Wanjun's voice sounded: "Now everyone, please wait a little, the trial space will open immediately." ”

After Wu Wanjun finished speaking, he poked his staff to the ground, and countless currents rushed out in all directions, and then gathered in front of all the teams, forming a long, bright electric current, which was crackling.

While everyone was wondering, small currents rose upwards from the current, forming the shape of a curved gate at the top in front of each team. In the next second, the small current was energized, and the current gate seemed to really communicate with each other, and suddenly became white.

"Now please step forward, freshmen and enter your testing space. Wu Wanjun said.

The freshmen looked at each other.

"Let's go. The assessment teachers greeted and took the lead in walking towards the white channel in the current gate. After a while, the freshman teams began to move.

"Let's go too. Haiyao greeted and began to lead everyone into the trial space.

At the same time, in the depths of the trial space, an old man who had turned into an ice sculpture suddenly opened his eyes, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Finally someone came. ”

After crossing the white barrier, Hai Yao and his party came to a forest. Hai Yao and the others looked at the forest in front of them with a curious expression, it was very quiet here, and occasionally they could hear a little bird chirping and insect chirping, but strangely they didn't seem to hear any beast sounds.

Just when Hai Yao and the others were guessing what kind of cultivation tasks would be in this forest, Long Cehe spoke.

"Okay, now I'm going to explain to you your cultivation tasks. Long Cehe said and handed Hai Yao a map: "Your task is to follow the instructions of the map through this forest to a place called Seven Star Rock and collect the herb Seven Star Zhi on it. Seven Star Zhi is here, and your first stage of trial mission is complete.

"On the way to the Seven Star Rock, you will encounter six lone spirit beasts for your personal challenge, each of which will need to defeat a spirit beast on its own, as part of your trial mission. ”

"Is there anything else you need to know now?" said Long Cehe, holding his hands behind his back.

"Teacher Long, how do you know that we will definitely encounter six lone spirit beasts?

"Yes or no. Long Cehe said with a smile: "The trial task process of the trial space is roughly fixed, but when arranging for you to enter the trial space, the number and difficulty of the trials will be adjusted according to your number of people, which is temporarily adjusted. ”

"How did you do that!?" the crowd asked curiously.

"This trial space is bordered by the Star Dou Great Forest, and it is the powerful man who founded the academy, and he used his ability to defy the sky to carve out a part of the Star Dou Great Forest and use it to captive spirit beasts. Long Cehe said.

"Captive spirit beasts!?" everyone opened their mouths in shock, looking at the forest with incredible eyes. But this forest is so quiet, it seems that there are no spirit beasts?

"That's right, captive spirit beasts, these spirit beasts are still wild in this trial space just like living in the Star Dou Great Forest, and we will guide some qualified spirit beasts into a separate small space before the trial begins, and then use it as your cultivation task."

Long Cehe explained, "In fact, your way to the Seven Star Rock is composed of several separate small spaces. ”

"It's impossible, after the spirit beast reaches the seventh level, its spiritual intelligence will be greatly improved, how can they not see the anomalies in the trial space?" Hai Yao asked suspiciously.

"Huh, you actually know this?" Long Cehe was surprised for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course, the academy knows about the threat of seventh-level spirit beasts, so the academy has arranged for us to be the assessment teachers, and after your first-stage trial task is completed, I will go to clean up the sixth-level spirit beasts in this space." ”

Hai Yao was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization: "I see, as long as the sixth-level spirit beasts are cleaned up regularly, there will be no seventh-level spirit beasts in this space." I guess, teacher, you come in every year during the freshman trial to clean up, right?"

Long Cehe smiled and nodded: "That's right, you guessed right." ”

"But Teacher Long, you look so young, can you already clean up the sixth-level spirit beasts?" Xu Xiaofan said.

"Of course I'm young, and strictly speaking I'm still your senior brother. I graduated from the college seven years ago, and I have stayed at the college since I graduated, and I have been working until now. ”

"As for cleaning up the sixth-level spirit beasts, of course, there is no problem, after all, I am already a seventh-level magic saint. Long Cehe said with a smile.

"Shusheng!?Teacher Long, you have already become a transcendent saint?" Hai Yao said in surprise.

Transcendent Initiation is a term about the cultivation level of this world, and it refers to the process of advancing from the sixth level to the seventh level. After the transcendent enters the sainthood, he is no longer a mortal body, the warrior becomes the martial saint, and the magician becomes the martial saint.

It is very difficult to enter the transcendent, and only one person in a thousand people may be able to break through this barrier. Therefore, those who step into the Holy Rank naturally have a higher status, and if you can become the best in the Holy Rank and obtain the title of Sage, even the King of a Kingdom will have to be polite to you.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Long turned out to be a saint-level existence who had already entered the Saint Level, and he looked so young, which really surprised Hai Yao and the others.

"Okay, if you have any other questions, if not, we'll go. ”

Hai Yao and the others shook their heads, and then the team walked towards the forest.

In another space, Han Yui is confronting a Wolverine. Wolverine is similar in appearance to an ordinary wolf-type spirit beast, but Wolverine will have a layer of golden hair with strong defense, and its bones are copper skin and iron bones in the true sense, and its strong physical fitness makes it not afraid of some spirit beasts stronger than him.

At this time, Wolverine was baring his teeth and staring at Han Yui fiercely, as if he would pounce at any moment.

Han Yuyi smiled slightly, and as soon as his mind moved, an earthy yellow spiritual power light appeared on a burly warrior puppet beside him, and then a set of thick rock armor appeared on the puppet.

Immediately, the warrior puppet rushed towards Wolverine, colliding with Wolverine without any fancy, knocking Wolverine into a stagnant movement.

Han Yuyi's eyes lit up slightly, and she shouted, "Bind!"

A sorcerer puppet behind Han Yuyi moved in response, raised his staff and pointed at Wolverine, and the emerald green spiritual light flashed from the top of the staff.

In the next second, two vines broke out from under Wolverine's body, binding Wolverine tightly.

"Fireball!" Han Yui then shouted, and now the last puppet beside Han Yuyi also stretched out his staff and pointed at Wolverine, only to see a red light suddenly light up at the top of the staff, and then a giant fireball began to condense and form.

As if sensing the threat of a giant fireball, Wolverine began to struggle frantically, golden spiritual power bursting from its body, and the vines were about to be broken by it.

At this moment, the earth-based warrior puppet that had started to act raised a huge stone hammer and smashed it into Wolverine's head.

Wolverine was suddenly smashed and dizzy, and the golden spiritual power on his body was smashed.

By the time Wolverine came to his senses, the Earth Warrior Puppet had already retreated, and the giant fireball had already shot in front of Wolverine.

Han Yui vaguely heard a miserable howl from Wolverine, and then a huge fireball exploded, and the forest suddenly lit up in broad daylight, and then a strong wave of air spread from the center of the explosion, bending the surrounding trees.

The earth-based warrior puppet stood in front of Yui, blocking the fireball explosion and the waves of air.

After a long while, the explosion finally subsided, and Yui stepped out from behind the earth puppet and saw a large crater in Wolverine's original location, and Wolverine's charred body was at the bottom of the pit.

"Congratulations, Yui Han, your first stage of the trial mission has ended, do you want to continue with the next stage of the trial mission?" a task prompt sounded from the sky.

"I continued. Han Yuyi said and took the second-level spirit core dug up by the earth puppet from Wolverine's corpse, and then continued to walk forward.

Not long after Han Yui left, a white-haired man came out from behind the tree, it was Haiyao's instructor, Teacher Bai, who was looking at the direction of Han Yui's departure at this time, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he took a step forward and continued walking in the direction Han Yui had left.

On the other side, Hai Yao and his party finally ushered in the first battle.

It was a very cute hamster-type spirit animal, with fiery red fur, and was holding a pine cone and gnawing on it at the bar, looking very cute.

"This round is carried out by Xie Guoer. Long Cehe said.

"Come on!Guo'er!" everyone cheered Xie Guo'er one after another.

"Hmm!" Xie Guo'er took a deep breath and slowly approached the fire-haired rat in the clearing with the small stone of the jewel turtle. Seeing Xie Guo'er approaching, the fire hairy rat quickly stuffed the pine cone into his mouth, and then the hair on his body immediately burst into flames, and then began to scurry through the open space at a super speed.

This fire-haired rat is just a first-level spirit beast, and it has no attack power, but it is characterized by catching fire when it senses danger, and its speed is doubled, and the spiritual power recovery speed is particularly fast, and it can maintain an accelerated state for a long time.

The characteristic of the Fire Rat is that it will use this rapid movement to engage enemies, causing them to rapidly consume physical and spiritual power, and finally attack exhausted enemies.

"Don't be nervous, fruit, as long as your water arrow can hit it, it will slow down, and then you can easily win. Hai Yao patiently guided Xie Guo'er.

"Uh-huh. Xie Guo'er tentatively shot several water arrows, but all of them were dodged by the fire-haired rats.

"I couldn't hit it. Xie Guoer said aggrievedly.

"Don't be in a hurry, shoot an arrow and predict the direction of its dodge, and then fire several arrows in that direction, so that the hit rate is higher. Hai Yao said.

Xie Guo'er nodded and did what Haiyao said. Sure enough, the fire-haired rat was scratched a little by a water arrow, and the fire on his body dimmed a little.

"That's it, go on, come on!" Chen Daiyu, who was standing next to Hai Yao, shouted in surprise, cheering for his little girlfriend.

"Hmm. Xie Guoer also had confidence when she saw the result of this arrow, and with the support of her boyfriend, she was full of enthusiasm at once, and when she raised her hand, five water arrows were shot out.

"Squeak!" After the fire rat dodged the first two water arrows, he was finally accidentally hit by the third water arrow again, and then was directly hit by the fourth and fifth water arrows that came one after another, and his whole body was knocked out, and the flames on his body were completely extinguished.

"I succeeded!" Xie Guo'er jumped for joy.

"Teacher Long, is Guo'er considered to have passed?" Hai Yao turned around and asked.

"Well, Xie Guo'er is just a support mage after all, and this round of trials was only arranged to see her ability to use attack spells, after all, in many cases, attack spells can also play a lot of roles, such as being able to intercept attacks, etc. ”

After Long Cehe finished speaking, he shouted at Xie Guo'er: "It's okay, dispose of it, and then take out the spirit core, we are ready to go to the next trial site." ”

At this moment, Long Cehe felt that the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and then he found that Hai Yao and the others were looking at him with a surprised expression, so Long Cehe couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong?"

"We, are we going to kill it?" Hai Yao asked, frowning.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Long Cehe blinked, isn't it normal to kill spirit beasts to get spirit cores?

"Can you not kill it?" Xie Guo'er asked pitifully, at this time she had already held the firetail mouse in her hand, and was holding a pine cone to comfort it when it was hit by a water arrow, while the jewel turtle Xiaoshi was trying to raise her head on the ground and looked at Xie Guo'er aggrievedly.

"Uh......" Long Cehe hesitated, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Teacher Long, you said that we only need to win, but you didn't say that we must kill it. Hai Yao said.

"This ......" Long Cehe's face showed a hesitant expression, and then he saw Haiyao and the others all looking at him expectantly, so he subconsciously replied, "Okay......"

"Great!" Xie Guo'er shouted happily, and the others finally let go of their hearts and smiled.

"Can you tell me why you don't want to kill it?" Long Cehe asked puzzledly, "I've taken many freshmen, and everyone else is very happy, why are you so reluctant?"

"Because of a few of us, we are from the Kailing Veterinary Hall. Hai Yao smiled and said, "We would rather see spirit beasts survive and become healthy in our hands. ”

"No wonder the Spirit Veterinarian Pavilion ......," Long Cehe suddenly realized. Then he seemed to think of something, and frowned: "But in this case, ......"

"What's wrong, Mr. Long?" Hai Yao asked.

"Nothing. Long Cehe shook his head, looked at Hai Yao, who was still puzzled, and said, "When you really face it, you will naturally understand, and it's useless to tell you now." ”

Hai Yao looked at the somewhat solemn expression on Long Cehe's face, and vaguely felt a little uneasy.

Finally, after releasing the fire-haired rat, Hai Yao and his party went to the next trial point.

Office of the Vice President.

"You mean, the dean may have returned to the vicinity of the Alliance Academy?" said Wu Wanjun with a frown.

"Yes, and the dean seems to be in a bad state right now, because the dean's tree of life has a very urgent idea, hoping that we can send someone to save the dean as soon as possible. Lin Jie said.

"The safety of the dean is more important, and he ordered to go down, and the fire team gathered urgently, canceled all the vacations during the vacation, and all those who did not have important tasks came back to the college to report, and then started the search around the school. ”

Wu Wanjun paused after speaking, and then asked, "Is there still no news from the eighth and ninth teams?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "There is still no news, the other party seems to know that we are investigating them, and they have shrunk back, and our people can't find any useful information." ”

"They are now far away in the Izumo Empire, and it won't be ......of much use to transfer them back," Wu Wanjun pondered for a while and said: "That's it, let the eighth team come back first, show some traces of withdrawal for the other party to see, let the ninth team lurk first, don't investigate for the time being, and wait for the other party to show up." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it. After Lin Jie finished speaking, he turned around and left.

In the trial space, Li Dehua, Sima Liang and Chen Daiyu have passed the heads-up trial one after another, and now only Hai Yao and Xu Xiaofan have not yet conducted the heads-up trial.

This time, they encountered an ape-like spirit beast, with gray fur and a tail strangely only three inches long, jumping up and down on the tall tree in front of them, and seemed to be having a good time.

"This is the iron wood ape, huh, this tail length?" Hai Yao looked thoughtful after seeing the ape's appearance clearly.

"It's time for me next, right?" Xu Xiaofan raised his staff of sassy bags with great interest, and prepared to step forward.

"Wait a minute!" Hai Yao stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xiaofan.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaofan looked at Hai Yao with a puzzled expression.

Hai Yao motioned to him with his eyes to calm down, then looked at Long Cehe and asked, "Teacher Long, we only need to win the first stage of the trial, right?

Long Cehe was also a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, he made sure that there was no rule on how to win, so he nodded and said, "That's right, but what kind of way do you plan to win?"

Hai Yao grinned: "Let Xiaofan tame it and make a psychic contract with it, this way to win should be possible, right?"
