"Bang!"

A dark shadow broke through the sky.

The next moment the three iron-eating beasts saw Ling Jiuqiu retreating, they also spotted the man in black who was approaching quickly.

Even before the battle, the monsters' fighting instincts made them vaguely understand that this dark shadow was likely to pose a great threat.

This made them give up their plan to chase Ling Jiuqiu in the first place, and instead chose to avoid it first, preparing to test the true strength of the black shadow next.

Time.

One man and three beasts scattered around in unison, as if they had been dispersed by the arrival of a black shadow.

Ling Jiuqiu also saw the full picture of the black shadow at this time - this was a man dressed in black and wearing a face scarf on his head, completely covering his body and appearance.

Souls are not activated.

They were also not armed.

Ling Jiuqiu would not be able to judge the other party's cultivation realm by the color and concentration of his true qi.

"Someone sneaked in?!"

Jiuqiu's heart was shocked.

Before the trial began, Mentor Yu Yong had said that this trial area had long been controlled by the imperial court, and under normal circumstances, no outsiders would appear.

And now, a man in black with a hidden head and tail appeared here and took the initiative to attack him, obviously the other party deliberately invaded, and it was likely that they were coming for him.

The center of Jiuqiu's mind turned.

"This person is dressed in black and masked, dressed so tightly, obviously he has a plan, in this case, he must know something about me, at least know my approximate strength."

"In such a situation, he dared not activate the martial soul to attack me, and after being discovered, he had no intention of stopping, obviously, this man in black has great confidence that he can easily defeat me."

"Besides, if you don't activate the martial soul in battle, you are either sure that you can defeat me without using the martial soul, or you are deliberately hiding the cultivation realm."

"No matter which possibility it is, it can only show one thing - the strength of this man in black is not simple!"

With that in mind.

Ling Jiuqiu immediately put his hand into his arms, and in the process of quickly retreating, he took out a signal talisman from his pocket.

See him in action.

The black-clothed man was in a hurry.

"Oops! I thought that Ling Jiuqiu was full of arrogance and would not easily ask for help, but I didn't expect to take out the help letter so decisively, it seems that I don't need to hide my strength, I must fight quickly! ”

The man in black immediately activated his martial spirit.

Light yellow true qi rose from the surface of his body, completely enveloping his body like a flame, and in the rapid surge, it outlined into a thick serpentine shape.

The next moment the heaven-level martial soul golden thread snake was activated, the black-clothed man's already extremely fast speed faintly accelerated a few points again, and the whole person almost turned into a phantom, leaving a long light yellow light and shadow trail in the air during the high-speed movement.

"Light yellow true qi...... Sure enough, he is a strong master of the Innate Realm! Plus the heaven-level martial soul golden thread snake! The strength of this man in black should definitely not be underestimated. ”

It made Jiuqiu's heart tighten.

He clearly knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the Innate Realm Grandmaster at this stage, and he might not even be able to survive a few moves in the hands of the other party.

For today's plan, there is only one way -

Escape!

He immediately turned around, and the swimming fish body method of the Dacheng realm was running to the extreme, and his legs turned into a vague phantom, staggering wildly on the ground.

While fleeing quickly, he hurriedly glanced at the distress charm in his hand, and after making sure that it was in the right direction, he decisively crushed it.

"Whew!"

With a sharp explosion of air, a thumb-sized red ball of light shot out from the letter in his hand and flew straight into the sky, leaving only a red trail that seemed to run through the heavens and the earth.

Seeing that the distress talisman was successfully launched, Ling Jiuqiu casually threw down the talisman in his hand and took out the remaining other talisman from his arms.

At the same time, his figure suddenly twisted.

The next moment.

A light yellow sword aura quietly slashed through his original position, slashing all the trees and weeds into two pieces along the way.

A stout tree happened to be on the path of the sword qi, and the main trunk was cut off in half, and under the uneven force, it quietly tilted to one side.

At the same time, the distress charm that had just flown into the sky suddenly exploded, turning into smaller clusters of light and flying around.

"Boom!"

"Bump!!"

The sound of a tree smashing on the ground sounded almost simultaneously with the sound of a distress charm exploding.

……

Somewhere in the forest.

A middle-aged man in a mentor's uniform stopped and looked at a large point of light in the sky, his face slightly solemn.

"It seems that someone is in distress, and besides, this distance happens to belong to my area of responsibility, so I have to hurry over to help."

He hurriedly turned his body and ran in the direction pointed by the distress charm.

I didn't run a few steps.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of another red ball of light rushing straight into the sky, leaving a red trail that was extremely close to the trajectory just now.

Obviously, both distress charms came from the same location and should have been placed by the same person.

The mentor's face changed dramatically.

During the trial, the twenty-three mentors will randomly patrol the trial area at all times, but each mentor has a specified general area of responsibility.

Once a student is found to have released a distress signal, the tutors will judge according to the distance, and if it is in their own area of responsibility, they need to go to the rescue as soon as possible.

But among these mentors, there are only three senior mentors with innate realm cultivation after all, and the other ordinary mentors are only spiritual sea realm cultivators.

In order to ensure the highest rescue efficiency, the college has stipulated the respective responsibilities of ordinary tutors and senior tutors in advance.

A distress talisman means that the enemy is the Spirit Sea Realm, and it can be dispatched by an ordinary mentor.

The two distress charms represent that the enemy is an innate realm, and in this case, the senior mentor will be dispatched.

Before the trial began, the reason why the academy issued two distress charms to everyone was not to give everyone two chances to call for help, but to distinguish the danger encountered by students by the number of distress symbols.

And now.

Someone released two distress charms.

That means that a student has encountered a third-order demon beast, or a human being who has cultivated in the Innate Realm.

Another place.

Wang Haiyang, a senior mentor who was aimlessly patrolling, had just casually glanced at the first distress signal and was ready to continue his patrol.

The three senior mentors are in charge of the innate realm enemies in the entire trial area, which is equivalent to each person being in charge of one-third of the area, and they don't have time to pay attention to ordinary calls for help, they just need to let ordinary mentors go to the rescue.

But the next moment, he saw the second distress charm, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Enemy ...... of the Third Order"

Although he is a powerhouse of the Innate Realm, he is only a double cultivator of the Innate Realm, and he belongs to the early stage of the Innate Realm.

In the face of any third-order demon beast, or an enemy of the Innate Realm, he didn't dare to say that he had absolute certainty to crush the other party.

So, it's going to be a tough battle!

However, as a senior tutor of the academy, he could not shirk his responsibility, even if he knew that he would face a tough battle, he had to go to the rescue.

As soon as his feet moved, his whole body turned into an afterimage, and he quickly rushed in the direction pointed by the distress signal.
