Chapter 49

"Stop pretending! Stop pretending! Do you think we're willing? Willing or not! I'll strangle you! Stop pretending—"

Hai Shan's unusually intense actions left Hu Baijie and Hai Yuntian stunned, while Hengyi could only stare with wide eyes as Hai Shan choked him, her tears suddenly streaming down her face, dripping onto his, warm and hot...

Hai Shan's strength gradually waned, but she still sat on him, crying emotionally. "You fool! Do you know what trials mean? Do you know how many sect leaders, like Hu San, with the cultivation of a Heavenly Venerable, have the lifelong wish to participate in a trial, even just once?"

Hai Yuntian took a deep breath, but Hai Shan's agitated words still made his eyes redden, unable to control himself!

Hai Shan, with tears in her eyes, looked at Hengyi, who appeared innocent and bewildered. "You fool... you don't know what trials mean to cultivators... the glory of trials is something that descendants will worship daily, considering it a family honor. Any Divine Sect disciple who hasn't participated in a trial will be shown the highest respect and reverence, no matter their status, when they visit!"

Hai Shan raised her fist and pounded Hengyi's chest. "You fool, asking if we're willing! I, Hai Shan, would die without regret in this trial! Willingly!"

"Die without regret—" Hai Yuntian finally couldn't hold back his tears; Hai Shan's words completely ignited his uncontrollable emotions! "To have the opportunity to participate in a trial in this life, to die without regret, even if one dies in the trial, it is a proud honor for the clan, something the clan can be proud of for generations! Hengyi, I, Hai Yuntian, swear that in this trial, even if I die, I will not disgrace your face, and if I do not give it my all, I am not worthy of being a person!"

Hu Baijie was speechless for a moment. Yes, Hengyi didn't know, didn't know how far away the Hu Hai Sect was from the trials in the Divine Sect system, didn't know how difficult it was to break through the layers of barriers formed by a long history.

Wasn't she also excited? But because she was a genius and had entered the Peak Sect, she had a better chance of getting a trial opportunity, so she wasn't as emotionally overwhelmed as the two of them.

Hengyi didn't know, so even though he knew the trial opportunity was rare and the benefits were great, he still couldn't understand the feelings of Hai Yuntian and Hai Shan, who had deeply experienced the Divine Sect system since childhood.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Hengyi was confused by Hai Shan's agitated actions, lying still, watching Hai Shan cry on him, though he still didn't understand their feelings, he felt he had said something wrong.

Hu Baijie took a deep breath, feeling time was running out, and she needed to quickly explain the basic principles of the five-person combat cooperation. Then, she saw Hai Shan sitting on Hengyi's waist!

She angrily kicked Hai Shan's buttocks!

"Enjoying it enough? Get off— showing off is useless, save your butt!"

"Get off!" Hai Shan retorted angrily. "Think everyone is like you!"

"Your words alone are enough to punish you for insubordination!"

"Hey, I'm not afraid of you! Do you dare? Do you dare? Hengyi won't kill you!" Hai Shan, feeling secure, infuriated Hu Baijie, who grabbed her hair and dragged her out.

Hai Shan, who was about to get off, now refused to let Hu Baijie have her way, crying in pain from her hair being pulled but still wrapping her legs around Hengyi's waist, shouting, "Hengyi! Your woman is bullying me!"

"Hai Shan, stop it!" Hai Yuntian frowned, scolding her. With important matters at hand, she was still fooling around, not knowing the gravity of the situation. If the Peak Sect people saw, it would be trouble.

Hengyi also hurriedly persuaded Hu Baijie, saying, "Baijie, stop pulling, it hurts a lot!"

Seeing Hu Baijie pulling hard, Hai Shan cried in pain but refused to let go with her legs. Hai Yuntian, helpless, stepped forward to separate them, pulling Hai Shan down.

Hu Baijie, furious, glared at Hai Shan, who, touching her sore scalp, suddenly frowned when she saw Hengyi stand up. "Hengyi, you have no shame!"

"Huh?" Hengyi was stunned, still in the position of about to stand, his body slightly bent.

When Hai Yuntian and Hu Baijie looked at Hai Shan with puzzled faces, she suddenly pointed at Hengyi's crotch. "You're hard! Truly shameless!"

"Hai Shan!" Hai Yuntian, almost losing his mind, covered his face and shouted, as if calling for help!

Hengyi, blushing and embarrassed, said innocently, "It's because you were rubbing and it felt good..."

"Hengyi! Can you be more honest?" Hu Baijie shouted angrily, and Hengyi quickly stopped, but still muttered, "It's true, I didn't say anything wrong, how am I shameless..."

Hai Shan burst out laughing, holding her stomach, finding Hu Baijie's angry face particularly amusing...

"Hai Shan, stop it! What if we miss the trial?" Under Hai Yuntian's stern scolding, Hai Shan calmed down. The trial was the priority. Just now, she had been emotionally overwhelmed and impulsively argued with Hu Baijie. Now, she quickly composed herself. "Bitch, quickly explain how to cooperate!"

Hu Baijie didn't want to waste more time with her. Chen Zizai was very anxious, and they preferred to arrive early at the Dharma Artifact Hall rather than late. She immediately explained the general plan for cooperation.

"Chen Zizai will be in charge of command, Hengyi will act freely, mainly responsible for mobile support and attacks; Chen Zizai practices the Seven Ultimate Fire Dances of the Southern Elephant Mountain of the Peak Sect, all of which are lethal spells; I will take on the main pressure, and your main task is to use Bingjie to share the pressure, and secondly, to use lethal spells as the situation dictates, with Ice Blossom Explosion as the main method, and Lake Sea Vortex to protect Chen Zizai as much as possible. Understand?"

"Understood!" Hai Yuntian and Hai Shan were confident they could do it. The Hu Hai Sect's spells, except for Ice Blossom Explosion, had limited lethality and speed in practical combat, far inferior to the lethal skills of the Southern Elephant Mountain of the Peak Sect. Ice Blossom Explosion and Ice Formation were their main values, which was inevitable.

"Let's go, to the Dharma Artifact Hall."

What would the Dharma Artifact Hall of the Peak Sect have?

Hai Yuntian and Hai Shan were very excited. They knew it was only temporary use, but even so, it was enough to make them full of anticipation, because the Dharma Artifacts of the Peak Sect were true Dharma Artifacts, far superior to what they had touched in the Hu Hai Sect.

When they arrived at the Two Poles Hall square, seeing the densely packed Peak Sect disciples, Hai Shan and Hai Yuntian became cautious, following Hengyi and Hu Baijie closely, not daring to speak or look around.

As they walked along the edge toward the Dharma Artifact Hall, people nearby noticed them, their gazes converging.

"What sect's robes are those? Why are they here?"

"Isn't that the Divine Sect's weapon, Hu Baijie?"

"That guy is a third-level Earth Venerable disciple of the Two Poles Hall at sixteen! Isn't that the mad genius Hengyi who can fight dozens on Northern Elephant Mountain?"

"Really lucky, to participate in a trial right after joining the sect?"

"Those two aren't from the sect, right? That's too much! To let him participate, they sacrificed two spots for outsiders?"

"I heard that because they are also acting with the deputy sect leader's illegitimate son, Chen Zizai, who has connections and the ability to fight dozens, the sect leader's special treatment is normal."

Listening to the comments along the way, Hai Yuntian and Hai Shan felt immense pressure! Originally, their appearance here was a miracle, but hearing the amazed and curious words about Hengyi made them more confident and courageous to move forward.

Hai Shan followed Hu Baijie closely, afraid of being separated in the crowded square. Suddenly, she saw a man's gaze wandering over Hu Baijie with interest, a lecherous smile on his face that was annoying from any angle.

Hu Baijie pretended not to notice, but she was suspicious because this man, who she didn't recognize, was not from Northern Elephant Mountain, but was accompanied by the three eighteen-year-old second-level Earth Venerable disciples from Northern Elephant Mountain who had fought Hengyi last night, as well as Xia and other Earth Venerable disciples from other mountains. Clearly, this man's status was not ordinary.

'Could Chen Zizai have found him to make things difficult for me?'

"Hengyi, that man is looking at your woman." Seeing Hu Baijie pretending not to notice and her unusual expression, Hai Shan suspected it was Hu Baijie's past "lover" and deliberately called Hengyi's attention.

Hengyi turned and saw the man's gaze fixed on Hu Baijie's body, completely oblivious to Hengyi's presence.

"Hai Shan, you're looking for trouble!" Hu Baijie gritted her teeth, fearing a conflict.

Hengyi looked for a moment, then turned back, puzzled, and asked Hu Baijie, "He's greeting you, why don't you respond?"

Hai Shan was stunned, then burst out laughing.

Hu Baijie couldn't help but laugh, realizing her worry was unnecessary. Hengyi didn't understand the situation, thinking it was a friendly greeting among sect members. "I just don't like him."

Hengyi looked a few more times, still not understanding why Hu Baijie disliked him. He looked fine to him...

Entering the Dharma Artifact Hall, Xiao Ying led them straight to the ninth floor.

Chen Zizai threw the selected sets of Dharma Artifacts to the two of them.

Hai Shan, seeing the unusual quality of the Dharma Artifacts, couldn't help but ask Hu Baijie in a low voice, "What level are these Dharma Artifacts?"

Hu Baijie gave her a look and whispered, "Don't be ashamed! You've never seen anything, they're Treasure-level."

Hai Shan was shocked and whispered, "Pretending to be knowledgeable, you don't have any either."

Hai Shan and Hai Yuntian carefully put on the Dharma Artifacts, as if afraid to break them, even though they knew Treasure-level Dharma Artifacts were not easily damaged, they couldn't control their reverence.

The value of Treasure-level Dharma Artifacts was over a thousand purple crystals, with one purple crystal equal to ten thousand gold coins. Purple crystals were the universal currency in the universe, and Dharma Artifacts above the Treasure level could only be purchased with purple crystals.
