Chapter 995: Preparation and Advance
It is not so much that the annual assessment of the Demon Slayer Holy Land is strict, but that the opening of the Trapped Demon Pool this time is extraordinary.
Even Shi Feiyu didn't know that the news he brought back directly led to the harshness of this assessment.
Vice President Zhuang Cheng learned that Lu Gongzi appeared on Tianji Mountain, and knew that there would be many dangers in opening the Trapped Demon Pond this time, and finally made this decision after careful consideration.
After announcing the order of the assessment, some of the students complained, while some of them silently turned around and went to buy the Demon Heart Stone.
In the first assessment, each participating disciple needs to pay 100 points.
This seems extremely unreasonable, and even some colleges take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it.
But if you think about it, it's actually understandable.
All transactions in the Demon Slayer Holy Land are exchanged for points.
If you don't get enough points for a year after joining the university, it can only mean that you are not strong enough, and even if you take the assessment, you will be eliminated soon.
Disciples who are confident of passing the assessment will not care about these things.
After everyone left, Shi Feiyu inquired a little and learned that the Demon Heart Stone was going to the academy elder to buy it.
Taking out the magic crystal card and looking at it, he found that there were still hundreds of points on the card, so he went straight to Elder Guo Chen's residence.
But when he arrived here, he found that Elder Guo Chen's residence was deserted.
When I went in and asked, I learned that it was not only the disciples of the academy who were being assessed this time, but even these elders.
Elders are evaluated differently from students in that they are mainly evaluated based on their own performance and the team they choose.
If he fails to pass the assessment this year, then from next year, Elder Guo Chen will have to leave the Demon Slaying Holy Land, either return to the family, or find a way out on his own.
Hearing this, Shi Feiyu couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.
I thought that as long as I sat in the position of elder, I could sit back and relax, but who would have expected that they themselves would be anxious and precarious.
Elder Guo Chen was able to stay until now because he had some friendship with Vice Dean Zhuang Cheng.
But this kind of friendship cannot be infinitely overdrawn, Zhuang Cheng, as the vice president, naturally has to take into account the overall situation, otherwise how can he convince the public.
Under the fierce competition, everyone wants to find a backer to pave the way for themselves.
After Elder Guo Chen's hard work, although his cultivation was finally promoted to the late stage of the Reincarnation Mirror, this kind of cultivation was a little worse than many students, how could anyone come to him?
Sitting alone in the living room, waiting for a student to come and buy the Demon Heart Stone, he didn't expect that the first person to come was Shi Feiyu.
Slightly stunned, Elder Guo Chen showed a wry smile on his face, and he wanted to let him buy it elsewhere, but he couldn't say anything.
"How much do you need?"
Shi Feiyu didn't sit down, but asked directly.
No matter how you say it, it was Elder Guo Chen who introduced himself to the Demon Slaying Holy Land, and this favor must be kept in mind.
What's more, after he came to the Demon Slaying Holy Land, Guo Chen also protected him in every way, and Shi Feiyu had to help him for this alone.
"Sell at least thirty Heart Stones. ”
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Guo Chen felt a little helpless in his heart.
The reason why he didn't go to find Shi Feiyu was because he didn't want to burden him too much, but he didn't expect him to come to the door himself.
"Thirty Demon Heart Stones is not much, I'll figure it out as soon as possible. ”
Frowning slightly, Shi Feiyu smiled and bought the Demon Heart Stone he needed first.
The Demon Heart Stone is a stone with special abilities, with a black jade-like luster, a heart-shaped body, and a smooth surface like a mirror.
And every student who buys the Demon Heart Stone must be left by the Selling Elder with a trace of his breath inside.
If the student's Heart Stone is shattered, the student will be eliminated immediately.
This kind of thing obviously can't be bought in large quantities to cheat, Shi Feiyu didn't say much, and after Elder Guo Chen helped him leave his breath in the Demon Heart Stone, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Looking at his back as he walked out of the living room, Elder Guo Chen wanted to speak again and again, and finally turned into a long sigh.
In the lonely tower where he lived, Zhuang Kai and the others were already like ants on a hot pot, waiting for him to come back.
Seeing that Shi Feiyu was finally late, Zhuang Kai immediately stepped forward and asked, "What should I do?"
"What to do?"
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Shi Feiyu couldn't help but smile.
And Zhuang Kai obviously had no intention of laughing with him, and said with a solemn face: "In this assessment, students need to hunt Xuan-level demon beasts alone, do you think a few of us can pass?"
At the mention of this, the smile on Shi Feiyu's face was put away, and then he shook his head.
Xuan-level demon beasts are no more powerful than others, and their strength is extremely strong, unless they have special means, it is difficult to compete with them, let alone hunt them.
Perhaps only the students who entered the Holy Realm had the strength to challenge the Xuan-level demon beasts alone.
Although Zhuang Kai was also working hard to cultivate during this time, he did not break through to the Holy Realm for a long time, but let Shi Feiyu catch up.
Now the two are almost on the same starting line.
At the peak of the late stage of the reincarnation mirror, such a cultivation is already at the middle level among the hundreds of students in the Demon Slaying Holy Land, but if you want to hunt a Xuan-level demon beast alone, I am afraid there is not much hope.
"We know it's hard, otherwise what are you waiting for?"
Wen Zi'an was obviously also anxious and worried, and when he saw him shaking his head, he suddenly snorted angrily.
Zhuang Kai grinned, waiting for an answer.
"There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, first go buy the Demon Heart Stone, and inform the group of people under your command to go to Elder Guo Chen to buy it, and the cost will be borne by us. ”
With a command, Shi Feiyu immediately walked towards the staircase.
During this time, there were many lonely students who came to take refuge.
There are about 20 people gathered under Zhuang Kai's hands, and if they all take on it, it is also a lot of money.
But Elder Guo Chen had the grace to promote them, so Zhuang Kai naturally would not object, and hurriedly turned around and secretly summoned people after agreeing.
The gang was worried about how to raise a hundred points, and when they learned that someone would bear the cost of going to Elder Guo Chen to buy it, their faces suddenly showed excitement, and they naturally wouldn't reveal it to the outside world.
It didn't take long for more than 20 people to receive their points and run straight to Elder Guo Chen's residence.
And Lei Hao also got the news and took people to Elder Guo Chen's residence.
In less than an hour, Elder Guo Chen's required tasks were completed.
This surprised him, and at the same time, he was also moved by Shi Feiyu's great help.
Some of the students who bought the Demon Heart Stone couldn't hold back anymore and set off towards the wild forest.
And those who have few cities choose to stay and wait and see.
Although Xuan-level demon beasts abound in the wild forest, it is not easy to hunt them.
Now when you go out, even if you find a demon beast, you will face a situation where there are more wolves and less meat, and even more so, you will catch cicadas with praying mantis in order to complete the task.
The most incomprehensible thing for Zhuang Kai is Shi Feiyu.
Since he came back, Shi Feiyu has been hiding in the room on the second floor of the lonely tower and has never come out.
It wasn't until the next morning that footsteps could be heard upstairs.
Zhuang Kai had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming down from the staircase, he immediately asked, "Are you leaving?"
Although there was a one-month time difference between the assessment and the opening of the Trapped Demon Pool, Zhuang Kai and the others were still a little anxious.
If the Xuan-level demon beasts near the Demon Slaying Holy Land were hunted first, then they would have to go further away.
Not to mention the time-consuming back and forth, you will also face many threats from the depths of the wild forest.
It is said that in the depths of this forest that exudes the atmosphere of the ancient, there are not only a large number of Xuan-level demon beasts, but even saint-level demon beasts.
That was the real horror, even if a Transforming Body Realm cultivator faced a saint-level demon beast, it would be extremely tricky.
Nodding slightly, Shi Feiyu waved his hand and threw them a few pieces of the Sea Gods: "These should be able to help you." ”
Zhuang Kai and Wen Zi'an were not polite, and after putting the things away, they didn't ask much, so they went out with him and went straight to the wild forest.
Although they didn't ask much, they both knew that these few spells made by Shi Feiyu who stayed up all night must be extremely powerful.
Its power is by no means comparable to those sold in bulk.
Zhuang Kai and the others guessed well, these were at least fused with a few spells, and even used sealing runes.
With the powerful sealing power of the Sealing Rune, coupled with the peak realm of the late Nine Rank that Shi Feiyu is currently in, the spells produced are comparable to some Xuan-level rune masters.
With these things, I believe that Zhuang Kai, Wen Zi'an, Lei Hao, Lei Zhiming, Guo Yichen and others have the ability to let go of the battle even if they encounter the early stage demon beasts of the Xuan level.
The assessment stipulates that the trainees must complete the hunting task alone, and the number is not limited.
Therefore, after everyone left the Demon Slaying Holy Land, they parted ways and swept in the direction they had chosen.
In the afternoon, the forest is quiet, not noisy at all.
As the annual assessment of the Demon Slayer Holy Land began, the insects and birds in this forest seemed to feel the threat and fled one after another.
Feet step on fallen leaves, making a soft rustling sound.
Looking at the spirit monkey Gray who was walking cautiously in front of him, Shi Feiyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ash Zi was still in the middle of the ninth order, and he was already far inferior to those Holy Land students.
This also made Shi Feiyu anxious for it.
In the past, the gray broke through, and it was a two-level jump, but this time, somehow, it stayed behind the ninth order, and there was only a sign of advancement.
And he once asked, but Ash just shook his head blankly, not knowing how to deal with the dilemma in front of him.
The advancement of demon beasts is different from that of cultivators, they are more of a thick accumulation, waiting for it to come to fruition.
Just wait like this, when will it be a head?
"Ash, take advantage of this assessment, help you find a few Xuan-level demon sources to try?"
After a slight pause, Shi Feiyu suddenly spoke.
The spirit monkey walking in front also stopped and looked back at him with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, there won't be much time to lose. ”
stepped forward and touched Gray's head with his hand, Shi Feiyu smiled.
Seeing him say this, Ash nodded heavily.
Unexpectedly, before the words fell, in the canopy not far ahead, there was a sneer: "How many Xuan-level demon sources? ”
As the sneer came, Shi Feiyu's gaze immediately moved forward.
I found that in the dense canopy of trees, at some point, stood a young man in a black robe.
This young man was about twenty-four or five years old, his face was thin, his lips were slightly turned out, and the most peculiar thing was that his eyes, which were actually black and white, showing two colors.
Sensing the aura emanating from this person's body, Shi Feiyu took a light breath in his heart, and then whispered to himself: "The peak ...... in the early stage of entering the Holy Realm."
