Chapter 991: Confidence or Stupidity?

An Feng, who watched from the corner, saw the dumbfounded look on Shopkeeper Qi’s face and could not help but give Yun Chujiu a thumbs up. Tsk tsk, Miss Jiu was indeed smart. Old Qi was the Palace Mistress’s confidant, and he was able to gain the recognition of Old Qi. The Palace Mistress might look at her differently after this. Miss Jiu was on a roll!

An Feng was actually overthinking things!

The truth was that while the four of them were eating, Yun Chujiu had a big appet.i.te and a small stomach. She had ordered too many steamed buns, so she packed up the leftovers. When she saw Shopkeeper Qi, she gave them to him…

Another day pa.s.sed, and the time for the second round had arrived.

After the first round of elimination, there were only 1,000 groups left in the second round of the test out of the initial 4,000.

Yun Chujiu was curious. She did not know what kind of trial the second round of the test would make them go through. It would be best if it was a team-based one. Otherwise, senior brother Feng Ming and the others might not be able to pa.s.s it. She was full of confidence in her ability to help them pa.s.s the tests.

The teacher in charge of the test finally appeared. He looked around and everyone immediately quieted down.

“The second round of the test is still a team test. After you are transported to the test locations, there are several scenarios that you can choose from. The difficulty of the demon beasts you encounter is basically the same. The less time you take, the higher the points of the group. The group that is in the top 500 will qualify for the third round.

“This round of the test is the same as the first round. If you encounter any danger, you can send your spiritual sense into the jade token and give up. However, once you activate the jade token, you will also lose the chance to enter the third round. The test begins now.”

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, a white light flashed before everyone’s eyes, and they were teleported to the test location.

There were several entrances in front of everyone, and on them were marked: forest, valley, desert, ice field, ocean…

Everyone had an epiphany. It turned out that they could choose the scene freely. Most of them chose the forest and the valley. These two scenes were the ones they were most familiar with. The demonic beasts inside were often encountered and they knew their weaknesses. They could get twice the results with half the effort.

“Junior Sister Little Jiu, which scenario should we choose?” Feng Ming asked in a low voice. He thought to himself, ‘Why not choose the desert? After all, they had landed in the desert when they had just ascended.’

“We’ll choose this!” Yun Chujiu walked to the entrance of the ocean.

Feng Ming and the other two froze, ‘The ocean?! Junior Sister Little Jiu, did you not sleep well last night?! Although we can swim, we are at a disadvantage against sea beasts. Aren’t we just looking for trouble?!’

However, when Feng Ming and the other two saw Yun Chujiu’s resolute att.i.tude, they could only acquiesce and stand in front of the entrance of the ocean.

After everyone had chosen their preferred destinations, only Yun Chujiu and the others stood in front of the entrance to the ocean.

Everyone could not help but laugh. What country b.u.mpkins! You chose the ocean. Do you think you’re merfolk?!

The spiritual power attacks of cultivators would be greatly reduced in the water. Sea beasts of the same level completely crushed cultivators of the same level. These four trash had low spiritual power to begin with, and they even chose the ocean setting. That was equivalent to giving up on the test! It seemed that they had really made it past the first round through sheer luck.

The teacher in charge of the test also looked at Yun Chujiu and the others in confusion. Although this ocean entrance had always been set up, no one chose this option. This group 250 was the first to choose this scenario in thousands of years. Were they that confident or were they out of their minds?

“Since all of you have chosen, let the test begin!”

After the instructor formed a seal, everyone disappeared from where they stood earlier. When they reopened their eyes, they had already entered their chosen environments.
