Chapter 16: The Illusion Begins
The girl smiled sweetly,
"My name is Zhou Xue, it's a pleasure to meet you, Shaoxia."
Both of them went to participate in the Illusion Trial, so they were on the same path.
The so-called Illusion Trial is a selection held every three years, and it can be said that many ordinary people have the only chance to change their fate.
On the way to the square, Mu Chen asked Tangtang to return to the hair rope first.
Zhou Xue was surprised and surprised by Sugar Candy's disappearance, and at the same time noticed the strange hair rope on Mu Chen's wrist flashing with intermittent light, and wondered;
"Huh! Why is Sugar Candy gone, what's the glowing thing on your wrist? ”
Mu Chen raised his right hand and shook it in front of her.
"She's in this hair rope!"
After listening to Mu Chen's answer, Zhou Xue was slightly stunned, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Really? No, it's amazing! ”
Mu Chen nodded affirmatively.
Zhou Xue pondered for a moment and looked at Mu Chen slyly.
"Isn't that ........ It's from your sweetheart! ”
Mu Chen was stunned, caught off guard by this sudden question.
He laughed dryly twice, and replied solemnly;
"This is what my master gave me"
Mu Chen suddenly thought of something and looked at her with a smile.
"By the way, do you want to smell it? There's a scent on the hair cord! ”
Zhou Xue was reminded by Mu Chen, only to realize that there had been a sweet and intoxicating aroma around her.
With curiosity, Zhou Xue put her nose up, and a fragrant fragrance rippled in her nose, and Zhou Xue, who had smelled all kinds of strange flowers and plants, couldn't help but sneeze.
"Ah Qiu!"
Zhou Xue rubbed her nose shyly, her cheeks were a little red, and a rare and seductive rosy appeared.
Mu Chen looked a little trance-like, he found a strange thing, why are girls so cute!
Thinking of this, a strange thought crossed his mind.
"It would be nice if the master also showed such a shy appearance!"
At this time, Zhou Xue's complexion had returned to normal.
"Mu Feng, Mu Feng, are we here?"
Mu Chen jumped out of his thoughts, and subconsciously looked into the distance, where the mighty people were lined up in an orderly manner outside the Pupil Cave Square.
Speaking of Pupil Cave Square, I have to mention its power.
The current Pupil Cave Square is just a small branch, and it is equivalent to a small selection agency set up in Mutong City.
In fact, there are similar academies in other places, such as Zi Ru's Ziyun Master's Zi Ding Academy.
In addition to these two academies, there are also two large academies, namely the Ten Thousand Worlds Academy and the Heavenly Dao Academy.
These four colleges are subordinate to the centralized imperial capital, and the imperial capital is set up in Zhongzhou, in addition to Zhongzhou, there are four other regions in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Together, they form the largest land in the entire Atlas - the Pupil Realm.
The main halls of these four major backgrounds are all located in Zhongzhou, and there are various branches in the other four small states.
Compete fairly together, select talents, and send them to Zhongzhou to participate in the competition.
All in all, it's just one way to select talent.
At this time, Mu Chen and Zhou Xue had already come to the crowd of black presses.
"Damn, Lao Tzu wasn't chosen last time. In this illusion trial, I will definitely become an inner disciple. ”
"I heard that the main hall of our Pupil Cave Academy in Beizhou has sent several highly respected elders, and they are all leaders of the younger generation. If they can be chosen, the future is simply promising. ”
"Ahh I really want to become a close disciple of the Suqiu Fairy, but the Suqiu Fairy is the youngest and most beautiful of all the elders. ”
A group of Hitomi cultivators were chatting outside, and at this time, on the city wall engraved with a plaque with several big characters in Hitomi Cave Square, an old man appeared at some point.
Mu Chen raised his eyes and squinted at it, but the person who came surprised him.
Isn't the familiar face the old man I saw when I went to the Pupil Cave Square a few days ago to awaken the different pupils!
"Quiet, quiet, monks, wait a moment."
The old man's voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, making the chaotic crowd in front of him instantly lose the hustle and bustle just now.
Suddenly, the sound of swords struck across the sky, and above the sky, a gradually enlarged figure appeared.
Each of the nine elders held a piece of paper in his hand, and looked down at the thousands of people on the ground with indifferent expressions.
At this time, the old man raised his left hand and gently touched his eyes with two fingers, only to see him slowly open his left eye, and his thumb and index finger pulled out an extremely thin line from the pupil.
Suddenly, the thread grew in size dramatically, and became a stick.
His hand shook slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the stick shook from side to side, and suddenly turned into a silver sword about five feet long and seven inches wide.
Then, the old man stepped on the sword and turned into a streamer and flew into the sky.
The scorching sun in the sky scorched the earth, but there was no discomfort among the nine elders above, and a faint aura lingered around them, as if they had resisted the scorching heat from outside.
The nine elders gently lifted the half of the paper in their hands, and it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
Afterwards, they landed on the presiding podium, where they sat on nine chairs in turn.
In the empty field, there is a huge screen, and a strange and treacherous picture of heaven and earth is displayed on the screen.
The nine elders on the stage, each with an indifferent expression, with eyes like ants overlooking them, glanced at the crowd around them with disdain.
Suddenly, the old man swooped down from the sky a hundred feet high and landed straight on the presiding platform.
The old man turned his head and spoke with a solemn expression;
"Come in, the Illusion Trial is now officially underway!"
Before he finished speaking, a crowd of people frantically poured into the gate.
