Chapter 954 - 308: Friendship, Worthy of a Thousand Praises (Part 2)
"Greetings, seniors. My name is Su Yue, a freshman at West Martial University, here in Crown Temple Valley seeking guidance from the teachers."
Su Yue stepped forward and cupped his hands in salute.
His etiquette was impeccable, expression neither humble nor arrogant, and he showed no signs of disgust or disdain.
Very calmly seeking instruction, Su Yue was looking at the teachers as if they were his mentors.
"Guidance is too much to ask, but since it’s Duan Yuandi’s intention, we can only lend a hand.
"However, since you are Su Qingfeng’s son, to cultivate in Crown Temple Valley, you must go through some trials.
"Follow me."
Greed Wolf 02 looked at Su Yue coldly and then turned around.
Just like that, a group of people walked over to a nearby mud pit.
Upon arrival, the young general first took a deep breath.
Greed Wolf 01 glared at the other four in the crowd and then looked at Su Yue with some apology.
Su Yue frowned, nearly suffocating.
Indeed.
The trial of Greed Wolf Prison posed no danger to life, not even a chance of injury.
But it was especially disgusting.
Right.
The so-called three-path trial on land, sea, and air were actually three pits in the mud.
On the opposite side of the three pits were the words ’Finish Line.’
No need to ask — only by crossing the three paths will the trial be over.
Each path is about 30 centimeters wide and over 70 meters long.
Crossing land, sea, and air, Su Yue would need to walk about 200 meters.
Very malicious.
The first path, ’Sea.’
In the muddy pond were ugly little fish akin to loaches, palm-sized, densely packed, impossible to count.
These creatures, whether loaches or fish, were truly ugly, with exposed fangs, oversized eye sockets, covered in pulsating mucus — the more disgusting, the more they seemed so.
Su Yue thought, unless faced with life-threatening danger, he absolutely couldn’t walk through it.
Disgusting enough to make one vomit.
These ghastly fish were even killing each other, blood and flesh mixed together.
The second path, the so-called ’Land.’
Filled with numerous snakes, colorful, numbering in the hundreds, appearing sticky — making any ordinary person shiver at the sight.
These snakes aren’t monstrous, just ordinary snakes, not even possessing first-grade Qi Blood values.
In the wetland, these snakes were at the bottom of the food chain, having no purpose other than disgust.
However, humans living on Earth fear such things the most.
Though Su Yue wasn’t too afraid of snakes, seeing so many entwined together gave an unparalleled sense of shock.
The quantity was the terrifying aspect.
Impossible.
Su Yue felt he couldn’t cross it.
More excessive was the final ’Air.’
Su Yue never imagined that in the wetland there would be cockroaches as large as fists.
Perhaps, in the wetland, these weren’t cockroaches, but some primal insect — yet Earth’s people have an innate fear of cockroaches.
Just imagine.
Fist-sized cockroaches with clearly visible antennae, rolling in the mud like sesame seeds.
How terrifying.
If faced with death, Su Yue might be able to cross the first two trials.
But a pool filled with cockroaches — Su Yue would rather die.
Truly horrifying.
"Su Yue, as the son of Su Qingfeng, we assume your courage is outstanding!
"This little trial ahead is the condition for us allowing you into Crown Temple Valley.
"If you can’t even bear these trials, then you don’t inherit Su Qingfeng’s lineage, and there’s no need to waste the Spiritual Qi of Crown Temple Valley."
Greed Wolf 03 said with a sneer.
"Setting a small trial for Su Yue was something Duan Yuandi agreed to — we won’t take your life, nor will we let you be injured.
"If you can’t face such a minor challenge, then there’s no need for us to use our Qi Blood to help you!"
Greed Wolf 04 mocked in agreement.
"Don’t go too far; this is purely to disgust people.
"Tell me, how does coming into contact with these disgusting things help martial arts?
"Do you really think that just because Prince Qing is in seclusion, you can do as you please?"
The young general was directly enraged.
This so-called land, sea, and air trial purely existed to disgust people.
Even if it helped Su Yue’s cultivation just a bit, the young general wouldn’t be so angry.
"What if Su Qingfeng came? What then?
"If his son fails, will he kill me?
"Why not have Su Qingfeng suppress Crown Temple Valley so we can go back to prison and sleep!"
Greed Wolf 05 sneered coldly.
"Or... just touch it without crossing.
"I know there are grievances, but Su Qingfeng is Su Qingfeng, Su Yue is Su Yue; they are two different things, just go through the motions.
"A group of grandmasters old enough to be his grandfathers bullying a junior — is that fun?"
Greed Wolf 01 said with a frown.
To be honest, every time he came here, he suppressed his own disgust.
How is this different from jumping into a latrine?
Disgusting people should have limits.
"Without Su Qingfeng, our trials would be even harder.
"Crown Temple Valley is suppressed by Greed Wolf, we can contribute for the young people of Divine Land, but we must have our own conditions.
"Barefoot, cross the land, sea, and air trials; if achieved, stay and cultivate.
"If not, please return to school and play — no matter how great your reputation in the wetland, Crown Temple Valley isn’t suitable for you."
Greed Wolf 02 said with a blank expression, showing no room for negotiation.
"You guys..."
The young general was incredibly frustrated.
Yet he truly was powerless.
The Spiritual Qi in Crown Temple Valley, strictly speaking, is toxic.
Although to a Fifth-Grade Martial Artist, the poison in the Spiritual Qi is not a big issue.
