Inverse Sword Mad God

Next, everyone rested in the Valley, waiting for the first trial to come.

Through the Jade Scroll, Lin Xuan already knew the content of this first trial; it is a team competition.

Everyone will form different teams and enter the Youyue Forest together.

Each small group can have a maximum of three people but is allowed to act alone.

Generally, no one acts alone because it’s easy to be eliminated.

Of course, there are exceptions, like Dan Feng and Ding Peng, who probably disdain forming teams with others.

As for the others, they would likely form three-person teams, at worst, two-person teams.

Each team will be distributed half a Jade Pendant.

What these teams must do is to snatch other people’s Jade Pendants in the forest, to form a complete piece.

Only within the specified Time, forming a complete Jade Pendant and delivering it to the designated place counts as passing.

This is the content of the first trial, which seems very simple.

However, there are some hidden traps within.

One of them is that, other than the team itself, no one knows which half of the Jade Pendant the other teams got.

This requires the Martial Artist to seek it out themselves.

Moreover, the most important point is, this first trial is very easy to eliminate participants.

Because there will be experts performing a major cleanup inside.

Those people are powerful and have already formed a complete Jade Pendant, but they will not stop.

On the contrary, they will frantically attack others, eliminating them.

It can be said, it is very cruel.

Next is the team formation.

Basically, it is the disciples within each sect forming teams, rarely do sects combine.

"Lin Xuan, let’s form a team," at this moment, Chu Yu came over with a smile.

However, before Lin Xuan could say anything, several handsome youths walked over to Chu Yu.

And they said smilingly, "Junior Sister Chu, let’s team up?"

"Yes, Junior Sister, we can protect you."

"Kid, you can leave, this has nothing to do with you."

The few looked at Lin Xuan coldly.

And the surrounding Martial Artists also whispered, involuntarily pulling away.

Because those who dare to team up with Chu Yu must be Direct Disciples.

Ordinary Core Disciples have no chance at all.

And such Direct Disciples, ordinary people simply dare not provoke.

"Two Senior Brothers, don’t say that, Brother Lin is very powerful." Chu Yu quickly mediated.

"Powerful?"

The two Direct Disciples, upon hearing this, showed a trace of disdain.

How powerful can a Late Stage Two-star King be?

Lin Xuan squinted his eyes.

However, he didn’t act, instead said to Chu Yu, "You team up with them. I have other choices."

With that, Lin Xuan turned and left.

He originally wanted to team up with Chu Yu because she was the only one he knew in the Elixir Sect.

But now, he’ll choose to act independently.

Because acting alone suits him better!

Seeing Lin Xuan leave, Chu Yu sighed.

But this is also good, avoiding Lin Xuan having conflicts with the Direct Disciples.

The few Direct Disciples beside her are terrifyingly powerful.

If Lin Xuan were here, conflict would certainly break out, and Lin would suffer.

This is not the outcome Chu Yu wanted to see.

"Alright, two Senior Brothers, let’s team up." Chu Yu sighed.

Meanwhile, others also quickly teamed up.

Mostly three-person teams, and some with two.

At this point, Lin Xuan seemed very peculiar.

Because beside him, there weren’t any other disciples; he was alone.

This solo action instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding Martial Artists, and many disciples showed disdainful sneers.

"With his limited strength, he wants to act alone? Doesn’t he know how to spell ’death’?"

"Entering like this is cannon fodder, ignore him."

Each disciple sneered, not taking Lin Xuan seriously.

Lin Xuan remained composed, because he has great confidence in himself.

Aside from Lin Xuan, there was another solo actor from the Elixir Sect, the Direct Disciple, Dan Feng.

She also hadn’t teamed up with anyone.

As well as Xiao Cheng from the Spirit Void Sect, and Ding Peng from Ziyang, acting alone.

Soon, each group began to step forward to collect half a Jade Pendant.

Lin Xuan also received half a Jade Pendant, as big as a palm, intricately engraved.

He grasped the Jade Pendant, squinting his eyes.

Because from the moment he obtained the Jade Pendant, countless unfriendly gazes surrounded him.

Clearly, these people had designs on him.

Instantly, Lin Xuan sneered inwardly.

If these people are blind to their fate, he doesn’t mind sending them out of the game.

However, the first trial is quite fair; it isn’t as if people enter the Youyue Forest directly.

Instead, a vast teleportation array randomly teleports them.

Thus preventing being targeted straight away.

All disciples stood upon the huge array, light flashing beneath their feet.

And ahead, the Red Robe middle-aged from the Shaking Light Sacred Land spoke aloud.

"The time for this first trial is a total of seven days."

"Within these seven days, not only must you successfully seize others’ Tokens to form a complete pair of Jade Pendants."

"But you must also deliver the Jade Pendant to that mountain within the specified time on the seventh day."

With that, he pointed into the distance.

In the vast forest, there stands a towering mountain range.

Like a Heavenly Pillar, it is a thousand feet tall and highly conspicuous.

It seems that’s the ultimate destination.

Alright, you understand the rules, now let the first trial begin.

With a command, the entire Valley lit up with the array’s glow.

Afterward, all disciples were teleported away, entering the Youyue Forest.

The light dimmed, and Lin Xuan appeared in the Youyue Forest.

The Longevity Technique circulated, quickly dissipating the dizziness caused by teleportation.

Then he began surveying the surroundings.

The area was old wood, lush foliage, and numerous Demon Beasts nearby.

In other words, aside from being cautious of other Martial Artists, one must also beware of Demon Beasts.

Through the dense forest, Lin Xuan noticed a vague mountain shadow in the far distance.

That’s the final destination.

It seems that gathering the complete Jade Pendant comes first, then other tasks can follow.

Lin Xuan examined his half of the Jade Pendant, then prepared to set off.

Roar!

At that moment, a blue leopard suddenly leaped from the tree.

It was over two meters long, not large in size but possessed terrifying strength.

The overwhelming killing aura twisted the entire Void.

Its paws easily ripped the Void.

This turned out to be a Demon King, extremely powerful!

Humph!

Lin Xuan grunted coldly, throwing out a punch.

The punch carried the icy Black Dragon aura.

Boom!

A low sound roared, wind swept all around, trees were cut in half.

And the Demon King cried out miserably, flying backward.
