Chapter 3644: Off to the Trial Grounds


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Hong Jun glanced at the gray-clad young man before asking tonelessly, “There’s a Floating Image Pearl in the Ten Stars Pavilion that recorded my fight with Duan Ling Tian. Didn’t you have a look at it?”


The gray-clad young man shook his head and said with a wry smile, “I only emerged from my closed-door cultivation two days ago. When I went to receive the divine pills in the Ten Stars Pavilion, but the few Floating Image Pearls that recorded your fight were all unavailable.”


Ten Stars students could borrow Floating Image Pearls from the Ten Stars Pavilion with credits.


Credits could generally be obtained through trials. The points were used for rankings of the trials and would be converted into credits after the trials.


The credits were like a currency in the Hidden Fog Academy. Only credits could be used for transactions with the academy.


In Hidden Fog Academy, one could borrow cultivation methods, Floating Image Pearls, and buy all kinds of divine pills, divine fruits, divine herbs, and artifacts using credits.


Credits were also non-transferable. This was to prevent stronger students from threatening others to transfer credits to them.


The gray-clad young man asked again, “I heard he didn’t use any divine artifact during the fight, but you barely withstood his attack with your divine artifact?”


“Since you’re aware of what happened, is there a need to ask me again?” Hong Jun said tonelessly, “He Yi Ping, if you’re really curious about his strength, why don’t you challenge him. He lives in a prominent-grade courtyard now. Go to the pavilion and ask for a notice of challenge.”


He Yi Ping was as famous as Hong Jun in the Hidden Fog Academy. His strength was comparable to Hong Jun’s. However, similar to Hong Jun, due to his ordinary background, he could not occupy a prominent-grade courtyard despite his strength. For this reason, he became good friends with Hong Jun.


Upon hearing Hong Jun’s words, He Yi Ping said indignantly, “You bast*rd! Do you really want to see me make a fool out of myself so badly?”


“Calm down. It’s a joke. Since he’s mastered a triple Fused Profundity from the law of s.p.a.ce, we won’t be able to defeat him even if we join forces, let alone fight him individually,” Hong Jun said. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian. His expression turned solemn immediately. He would never forget the battle where he was thoroughly defeated by someone much younger than him.



At the same time, someone called out, “Duan Ling Tian!”


A young man dressed in a fine robe appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. A determined expression could be seen on his face. His eyes were bright, and his hair was curly. His appearance was rather distinct, and his aura was gentle, making people remember him with just a glance.


Duan Ling Tian thought that the person’s appearance was one of the most unique ones he had seen.


“h.e.l.lo, I’m Hou Qing Ning,” the young man introduced himself with a smile on his face before Duan Ling Tian could speak.


‘Hou Qing Ning?’ Duan Ling Tian was not unfamiliar with this name. When he had first arrived at the Hidden Fog Academy, Liu Jin had mentioned this name. Hence, he knew Hou Qing Ning was one of the two who rightfully earned the right to live in a prominent-grade courtyard. Moreover, his background was not bad as well. He was the son of the Sect Leader of a king-rank force.


“Duan Ling Tian.” Duan Ling Tian nodded in greeting.


“Duan Ling Tian, I heard about you after I emerged from closed-door cultivation. I thought we could learn from each other, but then, I found you were in closed-door cultivation,” Hou Qing Ning said. He was clearly very outgoing. He continued to say, “Although I’m no match for you, as someone who also comprehends the law of s.p.a.ce, I’d like to exchange insights. It’s not every day I meet someone who’s not only younger but also stronger than me who also comprehends the law of s.p.a.ce. You won’t disdain to exchange insights with me just because I’m weaker than you, right?”


Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he replied, “We can do that after the trial.”


Although Duan Ling Tian had only met Hou Qing Ning, based on Liu Jin’s words, he had quite a good impression of him. Moreover, his short interaction with Hou Qing Ning now also improved his impression of Hou Qing Ning.


“Alright! I’ll look for you after the trial ends!” Hou Qing Ning’s eyes lit up upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. With that, he bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and left.


At this time, Duan Ling Tian felt a malicious stare coming from the direction where Hou Qing Ning had left. He did not even need time to guess who it might be. He knew it was Zhong Ke Qi, the lineal disciple of the Zhong clan, otherwise known as the little prince of the Zhong clan, whom he had defeated.


Standing next to Zhong Ke Qi was Zhong He Liang who had approached Duan Ling Tian previously on behalf of the Zhong clan. He had tried to threaten Duan Ling Tian to join the clan or die.


At this time…


“Great, everyone’s here.”


A loud voice rang in the air before a figure appeared in the air. It belonged to an aloof and dignified man who was more than two meters tall. He had suddenly appeared out of thin air.


As soon as the man appeared, Ding Yan asked, “Duan Ling Tian, this should be your first time meeting Teacher Yu Qian Shan, right?”


“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Although he had met many teachers, he had never met the man in front of him since he joined the Hidden Fog Academy. This man made him feel a sense of danger that none of the teachers did. The man’s aura was mysterious and unfathomable.


“Teacher Yu Qian Shan is one of the strongest teachers in the academy. His strength is only second to the dean. He’s said to be as strong as Teacher Yun Hui and Teacher Tang Hao,” Ding Yan explained, “Those three, not counting the dean, are the three strongest teachers in the Hidden Fog Academy. They’re all advanced Kings of G.o.ds. He usually doesn’t appear in the academy much, and we usually only see him during the trials. He’ll lead us to the trial grounds to ensure our safety. After all, we’re considered inner disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect as Ten Stars students and are valued by the sect. To be honest, I wish some of those king-rank forces would be stupid enough to send Kings of G.o.ds to kill you. When the alarm from the Formations rings, I’d like to see Teacher Yu Qian Shan kill them!”


A sneer could be seen on Ding Yan’s face when he mentioned the king-rank forces that might be out to get Duan Ling Tian.


‘Yu Qian Shan.’ When Duan Ling Tian looked at Yu Qian Shan, he noticed Yu Qian Shan was already looking at him.


Yu Qian Shan smiled and nodded at Duan Ling Tian before he said loudly, “I heard there’s a highly talented new student among all of you. He’s already known to be the strongest student of the Hidden Fog Academy…”


With these words, almost all of the Ten Stars students’ eyes s.h.i.+fted to Duan Ling Tian in unison.


“However, don’t feel discouraged,” Yu Qian Shan continued to say, “The new student may be strong, but he’s inexperienced. This is his first time taking the trial so all of you still have a chance to rank ahead of him.”


Many of the students’ eyes lit up upon hearing these words. In particular, Hong Jun, Hou Qing Ning, and He Yi Ping’s eyes shone brightly with hope when they heard these words. They really hoped they could surpa.s.s Duan Ling Tian in the trial.


“We’ll set off to the trial grounds when the other three teachers arrive,” Yun Qian Shan said.


It only took a few minutes before the other three teachers arrived. Duan Ling Tian had never seen them before as well.


“Let’s go.”


As soon as Yu Qian Shan’s voice fell, dozens of people leaped into the air.


Yu Qian Shan took the lead while there was one teacher at each side and one teacher bringing up the rear.


During their journey, the three teachers would look at Duan Ling Tian from time to time. Each of them harbored different intentions.


One teacher in particular made Duan Ling Tian feel uncomfortable.. Although the teacher was not hostile, his gaze was icy. Hence, he tilted his head slightly and asked Ding Yan through Voice Transmission, “Is he related to the Zhong clan?”
