Looking at the backs of the Flame Alliance members, the fat man snorted coldly, "At first, I thought the Flame Alliance was a group of kind-hearted beauties. I didn't expect them to be a bunch of venomous snakes. Lin Yuyan is really a piece of work!"
"Damn Zhao Yu and his gang! Damn, it's a waste of Brother Chu's pills." Qian Dong said angrily.
Chu Yan smiled calmly, "Why didn't you go with Zhao Yu just now? Being able to join the Longevity Hall is better than staying with me."
Qian Dong rolled his eyes at Chu Yan, "Brother Chu, although I am a descendant of a martial marquis, I am not of the royal family. I, Qian Dong, am not a short-sighted person. Lin Changsheng may be able to look down on us today because he is stronger than us, but as you said, the Longevity Hall is first now, but not necessarily forever. We may not be as good as Lin Changsheng now, but we won't always be!"
"Right, Lin Changsheng can look down on us today because he is stronger than us. So we will work hard to become even stronger!" Chu Yan nodded. He recognized Qian Dong today. Perhaps others might think that valuing friendship in the world of martial arts is laughable, but Chu Yan insisted on it, and he would do it with pride and righteousness.
"Now, only the Newcomer Camp is left." Mu Ye sighed.
"Are a few newcomers going to join our Newcomer Camp? According to the rules, ten honor points per person, and I'll let you join." At this moment, a thug-like disciple stepped forward, with a noticeable scar over his left eye.
"He is Scar, the current leader of the Newcomer Camp, at the same level as Lin Changsheng, but with lower cultivation. He is only at the fifth level of Dustless, ranking at the bottom among the five-year disciples." Mu Ye said to Chu Yan, "The people behind him are also freeloaders, usually just getting by in the Vast Heaven Sect without much achievement."
Chu Yan nodded and glanced at Scar, "Do we need to pay honor points to join a team?"
"Others don't, but the Newcomer Camp does. After all, it is one of the three major teams, so every year, some disciples with lower talent will accept their conditions to participate in the competition and earn honor points." Mu Ye explained.
"Ha, now only our Newcomer Camp is left to accept you, and you're still picky? If I don't take you, you won't have a team and won't be able to participate in the three-month competition." Scar sneered, "Think about it. Join the Newcomer Camp, ten honor points, and you can earn a hundred points every three months. Otherwise, you get nothing. Of course, as newcomers, after earning a hundred points from the competition, you must hand over fifty points."
Ye Xun and the others looked grim, feeling disdain for Scar. Everyone was weak, yet instead of uniting, they were fighting among themselves.
"Mu Ye, besides joining the three major teams, can we create our own team?" Chu Yan suddenly asked.
"Yes, but it's usually done by disciples who have been here for more than three years. After all, newcomers are weak, and creating a team on their own won't get them into the top three, so it's meaningless. The Longevity Hall was created by Lin Changsheng in his third year, swallowing an existing team." Mu Ye said.
Chu Yan nodded and then glanced at Scar with disdain, "Sorry, we won't join. And in the next competition, the Newcomer Camp won't be third anymore."
"Let's go!" Chu Yan said, and with that, he leaped into the Starlight Mirror Array.
Seeing this, Ye Xun smiled, thinking about creating their own team. It sounded good.
In the end, the six newcomers did not join any team and followed Chu Yan into the Mirror Trial.
Looking at the six backs, Scar's face turned cold, especially at Chu Yan's last words, which annoyed him. In his view, even if Chu Yan was a descendant of the Wilderness, his background would be useless in the Mirror Trial, and he dared to speak to him like that.
"Not joining, huh? I'll make you unable to survive in the Mirror Trial." Scar's face turned vicious, and he and the Newcomer Camp members all entered the Mirror Trial.
The Mirror Trial officially began. This was an excellent place for disciples to cultivate. Chu Yan and his group passed through the Starlight Mirror Array, and the world before them changed slightly. They arrived in a vast world.
There were cities, forests, and rivers, all so real, like the real world.
"Is this the Mirror Trial?" The fat man pinched his face, feeling the real texture, "I can't believe I'm in an illusion now."
"The Mirror Trial is a false world, a replica of the real world. Disciples from all sects are here, including people from the five major forces. However, the Mirror Trial is vast, almost as large as the inner circle of the real world. We are in the camp corresponding to the Vast Heaven Sect, surrounded by Vast Heaven Sect disciples. If we leave here, we might encounter people from other sects." Mu Ye explained.
"Also, in the Mirror Trial, there are some treasures of heaven and earth. These treasures are real, and if absorbed, the main body will also achieve a corresponding breakthrough. Three years ago, a huge immortal palace was found in the Mirror Trial, filled with treasures left by a king, causing a great stir, and people from all sects gathered here."
Chu Yan nodded. The Mirror Trial has existed for ten thousand years in the real world, and no one knows who created this vast illusion. However, since then, the Wilderness, the Three Valleys, the Eastern Alliance, and the Ten Thousand Sects have been maintaining it.
"However, if you are killed here, your main body will suffer a severe injury, an injury that originates from the soul, and you cannot enter the Mirror Trial again within half a day." Mu Ye said, "So, everyone be careful and try not to die."
The newcomers nodded and began to walk around the Mirror Trial.
They were now in a huge city, filled with ancient architecture, the Vast Heaven Sect's illusion point. To the east of the city was a vast river, and to the west was a dense forest.
"The closest sect to us is the Ice River Sect. Passing through this dense forest, you will reach it. Disciples from the two sects often clash in the forest."
As they continued walking, Chu Yan suddenly frowned, sensing a strong wind coming from a side alley.
Then, figures emerged from all directions, surrounding Chu Yan and his group, and closing in.
"Newcomer Camp?" This group all had the same emblem, the Newcomer Camp badge.
"Damn! These scum are going to attack us?" The fat man shouted angrily.
"Since you won't listen, I'll destroy you." Scar stepped forward, with only one eye, looking terrifying.
"Dustless fifth level! Two at Dustless second level, and the rest are at the top of Moving Dust." Ye Xun said heavily.
"Run!" Chu Yan reacted quickly. A huge surge of yuan energy came, and with their current strength, they couldn't resist, so he ordered everyone to run.
For a moment, the six newcomers, including Mu Ye, fled in the Mirror Trial.
"Can you run away?" Scar sneered. Although they were the weakest of the three teams, they were fatal to Chu Yan and his group.
In a short time, with Scar leading, they surrounded Chu Yan and his group. They all held high-quality mystic weapons, looking at Chu Yan and his group with evil intent.
"Kill!"
Since they couldn't run, they would fight!
Chu Yan roared, drawing his Wind Chant sword, which whistled in the cold wind, charging at a Dustless ninth-level Newcomer Camp disciple. Ye Xun followed closely, holding the Black Dragon, continuously attacking.
"Overestimating yourselves!"
"Ah!" A scream immediately rang out as the weakest newcomer, Zou Yi, was pierced through the heart by a spear. He was filled with despair in his last moments, experiencing death for the first time, and then his body disappeared from the Mirror Trial.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Fan Ye's three consecutive heavy hammer strikes knocked a Newcomer Camp disciple into a pulp, but the next moment, he was pierced by seven or eight spears and died instantly.
"Is this martial arts? So damn cruel!" Qian Dong roared before dying.
The fat man also died, leaving only Chu Yan, Ye Xun, and Mu Ye, while the Newcomer Camp suffered almost no losses, with countless disciples surrounding them.
"This is the price of refusing to join my Newcomer Camp! I'll make you never dare to enter the Mirror Trial again!" Scar laughed maniacally.
"You go, I'll hold them off!" Mu Ye suddenly said, holding a set of iron fists, standing in front of Chu Yan and Ye Xun.
"You'll die if you stay."
"Whatever, I've died hundreds of times in the Mirror Trial, so one more doesn't matter. You two just came, run and explore more. We'll settle this score later." Mu Ye shouted.
Chu Yan nodded and then looked deeply at Scar, "Newcomer Camp, I'll remember this today. One day, I'll make you pay in blood. Let's go!"
"Where are you going!"
"Flowing Rock Break! Run!" At this moment, Mu Ye's yuan energy surged, and he unleashed a fiery punch, burning half the sky, clearing a path for Chu Yan and Ye Xun to escape.
Looking at Chu Yan and Ye Xun's backs, Mu Ye felt relieved, then he turned fierce, looking at Scar with bloodshot eyes, "Come on! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Truly pitiful, a three-year veteran acting like a dog for a newcomer!"
"Scar, remember this, one day, this dog will be beyond your reach, ha! You son of a bitch! Kill!" Mu Ye laughed maniacally, attacking with one punch after another. Unfortunately, he was limited, and Scar's spear pierced him, followed by several more spears. In a short moment, Mu Ye was pierced by over ten spears, unable to even kneel before he was killed.
Chu Yan looked back at Mu Ye, his eyes red, remembering every spear in his body.
"Ah!" The two ran, but the next moment, a scream rang out as a flying spear shot at Chu Yan, piercing his thigh with great force, pinning him to an ancient tree, unable to move.
