Each light screen displayed an assessment battlefield.

Noticing something strange, Xiaoman gracefully pointed to one of the light screens and gasped in surprise.

Xu Sanqi was sitting silently beside her. His slim face was stern and cold like a rock as his gaze hovered between a few of the light screens. Upon hearing Xiaoman’s surprised cry, he turned his head and glanced at her. “Who else could use the two secret arts, Embroidered Soul Blade Art and the Spirit Illumination Eye, besides the descendants of the Ye Family of the Donghai Province?”

The Ye Family!

The Ye Family was also known as the Donghai Ye Family, an ancient family with thousands of years of history, and could be regarded as the most powerful family in the Donghai Province.

Ye Zhankong, the head of the Ye Family, was even nicknamed the King of Donghai.

“Descendants of the Ye Family…” Xiaoman uttered ruminatively. “No wonder he found Lin Xun’s hiding spot. It turns out that he has the help of the Spirit Illumination Eye.”

“His name is Ye Xiaoqi. He’s a pretty good seedling.” Xu Sanqi then added, “In the entire Ye Family, there are very few people who have the aptitude for cultivating the Spirit Illumination Eye, and Ye Xiaoqi is one of them.”

“Hmph, no matter how good he is, didn’t he flee in the end? He didn’t even dare to have a real fight with my little handsome guy.” Xiaoman snorted, looking proud when she mentioned Lin Xun.

However, Xu Sanqi had already shifted his gaze elsewhere. He observed the situation in the other light screens and said after a while, “Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Hen, Li Duxing…”

He uttered several names in a row and said, “Pay close attention to them. They are the most promising candidates to enter the Dipper Transformation Lake.”

Xiaoman narrowed her eyes.

Bai Lingxi was the eldest grandchild of Marquis Jinghai and had the innate talent, Eternal Shining Stars.

Zhao Yin was the great-grandson of Marquis Bowang in the Forbidden City and had the innate talent Violet Sun Body.

Zhangsun Hen was the grandson of General Zhangsun Chunqiu in the imperial capital…

Li Duxing was a descendant of the Li Clan, one of the nine most wealthy and powerful aristocratic families in the Forbidden City…

……

Each one of those names represented an outstanding genius blessed by the heavens

Of course, Xiaoman also knew that those types of people had the most promise of entering the Dipper Transformation Lake. However, she didn’t agree that Lin Xun wasn’t able to make it onto the list. She argued, “Lin Xun is pretty good. Even if he can’t compare to Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin, and the others, he’s definitely on the same level as Ning Meng, Shi Yu and Qi Can.”

Xu Sanqi frowned, his eyes razor-sharp like knives. “That’s just my initial opinion. No one knows how many people can enter the Dipper Transformation Lake in the end.”

After a pause, he continued, “Compared to the others, Lin Xun is only considered above average. He indeed has a chance of entering the Dipper Transformation Lake, though it isn’t huge unless a miracle happens.”

Xiaoman was about to argue back when Xu Sanqi interrupted her, “Alright, that’s enough for now, you should see whether Lin Xun passes the monthly assessment first.”

Xiaoman raised a slender eyebrow and didn’t say anything else. In truth, Lin Xun was indeed a little behind Bai Lingxi and the others. However, she believed that Lin Xun could rapidly improve in the next training session if he managed to pass this monthly assessment.

After all, the others were all at the ninth layer True Martial Stage while Lin Xun was only at the True Martial seventh layer. This might seem like a weakness, but it also meant that Lin Xun had more room for improvement!

If Lin Xun reached the True Martial ninth layer before the end of the one-year training, he might be able to close the gap between him and the other students!

“How is the situation on Old Mo’s side?” Xu Sanqi suddenly asked.

“The progress is pretty good, but it will take some time,” Xiaoman said quickly.

“Hm, it will be good if this matter is completed before Lin Xun leaves.” Xu Sanqi nodded.

Xiaoman couldn’t help but say, “Chief Xu, can’t we let Lin Xun stay? You know now that, although Lin Xun may not be able to compare to Bai Lingxi in terms of cultivation talent, he is a rare genius in the art of runes. According to Old Mo, even Feng Qingyou, the talented girl from the Qinglu Academy back then, isn’t as good as him!”

Xu Sanqi fell silent for a long moment, and then he said, “We can’t. The Black Glory Sacred Hall won’t easily let someone go.”

The mention of the Black Glory Sacred Hall made Xiaoman go quiet and she could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

However, neither of them knew that the Black Glory Sacred Hall was unaware that Lin Xun possessed such an unbelievable talent in the art of runes.

In fact, the Black Glory Sacred Hall attached no importance to Lin Xun and likely only sent him to train in Blood Kill Camp because of his relationship with Xia Zhi.

……

In the temporary 40th campground.

Savage Wolf stroked his chin and retracted his gaze from the image reflection board. He suddenly chuckled, “Everything has been decided!”

In the temporary 39th campground.

Xiaoke’s beautiful knitted brows hadn’t relaxed since the assessment started.

The situation didn’t look good for them.

Eleven students from the 39th campground had already been eliminated and only thirteen people were left. In contrast, twenty-six people were still remaining in the 40th campground!

The difference in the number of people wasn’t particularly important, but when the opposing students took advantage of their huge number to bully a small number of students, the situation turned more grave for them.

For example, another student from the 40th campground suddenly joined the fight between Ning Ming and Lei Xinyue, and the others. In the end, Ning Meng had no choice but to flee.

Naturally, Lei Xinyue and the others wouldn’t let him escape and immediately gave chase.

A similar situation was happening with Shi Yu, Li Qiu and the others.

Although Qi Can, Wen Mingxiu, Mu Lengxin, and the others didn’t experience the same thing as Ning Meng and Shi Yu, they realized their dangerous situation and began to work with each other. However, the 40th campground’s strategy of attacking like packs of wolves still had an advantage over them.

Xiaoke knew that Qi Can and the others would face even more attacks if Ning Meng and Shi Yu were defeated.

“Savage Wolf is so shameless!” Xiaoke fumed. In her opinion, the monthly assessments were held to test the students’ ability to deal with danger alone.

This was because they wouldn’t have the time to plan on a real battlefield and everything was dependent on their combat skills and adaptability. If they were told how to deal with the dangers in advance, it was no different from cheating and it destroyed the purpose of the assessment.

However, Savage Wolf clearly thought otherwise. He saw the monthly assessment as a competition and was determined to win. Therefore, he had made careful plans and preparations beforehand, which no doubt changed the true importance of the assessment and tainted it with conspiracy and scheming.

Xiaoke thought it was very shameful but she couldn’t say anything since the rules of the assessment didn’t restrict or forbid such actions.

“The students trained by Savage Wolf are qualified to be warriors.”

The middle-aged fatty suddenly walked over and looked at Xiaoke’s frosty face. “The difference between you and him is that the students you train are true strong people.”

Xiaoke frowned. “Is there a difference?”

The middle-aged fatty explained, “Of course. Warriors put utmost importance in obeying orders and are experts in arranging troops for battles. But they lack the courage and boldness to hold out against thousands of people or fight to the death. This courage and boldness are only possessed by true strong people.”

After a pause, he continued, “You should know well that, in the several wars throughout the empire’s history, the people who influenced the final victory were never the warriors who only know how to obey orders but the truly strong people who put their lives on the line!”

Xiaoke fell silent. Although she agreed, she felt that the difference between warriors and the strong didn’t matter if they failed the monthly assessment.

After all, everyone knew the saying: ‘the winner is the law and the loser is the outlaw’. If they lost, who would remember that they once had the possibility of becoming true strong people?

“Hey! Something has changed.” The middle-aged fatty suddenly yelled. His gaze was intently on the light screens cast by the imageboards and his expression was crossed with surprise. “It\'s that kid!”

Xiaoke turned to the light screen and saw Lin Xun moving in the direction that Ning Meng was fleeing.

“If this kid can coordinate with Ning Meng and defeat the opponents, they might be able to reverse the situation. But as far as I know, the kid is only at the True Martial seventh layer. I’m not sure if it’s possible for him,” said the middle-aged fatty.

Xiaoke acknowledged him, but her eyes were intently staring at Lin Xun’s figure.

Immediately, she noticed that Shi Yu was also heading in the same direction.

Lin Xun, Ning Meng, and Shi Yu were like three black dots converging toward the same location through different paths. They were bound to run into each other.

Perhaps their moves will determine their success or failure?

This thought surfaced in Xiaoke’s mind.

……

Compared with the swamp, the environment in the jungle was much more complicated. There were places to hide everywhere and it was a heaven-made area for assassination attacks.

Lin Xun didn’t dare to be careless. He even circulated his perception power to its peak and carefully surveyed the surroundings as he moved forwards in fear of an ambush.

At the same time, he was searching for the best hiding spot, one that enemies would pass by but also would overlook.

It was no doubt difficult to find such a place, so Lin Xun hadn’t made much progress even until now.

Suddenly, violent noises rang in the distance and giant trees tumbled down one after another. It was as though a terrifying beast was rampaging and knocking down everything in its way.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and he leapt onto the thick branch of an ancient tree with a swoosh. Its dense and plump leaves completely covered Lin Xun’s body.

Almost at the same time, the violent noises seemed to be approaching with unimaginable speed.

However, Lin Xun was shocked to find that it wasn’t a beast on a rampage but an imposing-looking youngster running wildly!

Why would it be him?

Lin Xun immediately recognized that it was Ning Meng.
