After giving them some time to plan things out, the host suddenly came back up and said, “Everyone, it’s time to begin!”
Pointing at the sky, there was a large gust of wind that came from above.
When everyone looked up, they found that it was the Martial Might Sect’s spiritual boat that had appeared in the air.
The host still pointed at it as he said, “Participants, please get on the spiritual boat and head to the Ten Thousand Beast Valley. This first round will last three days, so please make the most of your time!”
As soon as he said this, there were those that jumped up to the spiritual boat that was still descending from above.
There were also those that stood there in a daze, as they waited for the spiritual boat to descend.
This caused the ones that had jumped onto the boat to reveal displeased looks.
Right, the ones that had jumped onto the boat had realized something.
The host had said that this round had already begun and that it would last three days.
He had said this when the sun was right up above them, signaling that it was currently noon.
This was without a doubt done on purpose to show that this was their time limit. So they were actually wasting more time by waiting for the spiritual boat to fully descend so that everyone could get on.
But that didn’t mean that everyone who had seen through this jumped up to the spiritual boat.
There were those that just calmly waited on the ground with those that didn’t.
That was because they could see that there was no need to rush like that.
There was a large variety of cultivation levels, so there were those that weren’t strong enough to jump up to the spiritual boat in the first place. So unless the spiritual boat came down, it would have been impossible for everyone to get on.
It didn’t seem like the boat would leave unless everyone was on, so it was meaningless to wait above.
Instead, it was better to wait below and use this time before it landed to make a few more relations. Those that weren’t able to find an alliance would be feeling the pressure now and would be forced into gathering with others who were weak to keep themselves safe.
But those that were smart would be able to pick off these weak groups to use as cannon fodder.
That didn’t matter for Xiao Ming and the Love Sect group.
No one would trust them after what had happened earlier, so no one would go with them even if they were pressured now.
So the only thing that they could do was wait for the spiritual boat to descend.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming took one last look at Lin Fan.
Seeing her look over, Lin Fan gave a nod to her which made her reveal a bright smile and give him a sign of victory.
Once the spiritual boat landed and everyone got on, it didn’t waste any time in heading to the Ten Thousand Beast Valley.
After they left, there were several mirrors that suddenly appeared in the gathering area where the disciples had just been. These mirrors were dark at first, but it didn’t take long for them to reveal the scene of the spiritual boat.
There were even several angles that were filmed.
As expected of the Martial Might Sect, they had already prepared everything ahead of time.
On the spiritual boat, there was a difference in mood.
Those that were prepared and confident were relaxed while those that weren’t as prepared looked very nervous.
It was almost like they were waiting to take an important test, though that could also be a good way to describe this.
But before they could calm themselves down, the host suddenly said, “Now that we’re above the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, please get ready to jump down.”
“Huh?”
All of the disciples revealed confused looks when they heard this, but there were some that started judging the land under them.
It was as if they were trying to find a good place to land.
The host just said with a calm smile, “It’s dangerous for us to land in the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, so you will all have to jump down. We will be providing you with Feather Fall Talismans, so there’s no need to worry about landing. Please be sure to jump as soon as possible or else you will lose that chance to jump. If you’re still on the boat when we finish our path over the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, then we will recognize that you have forfeited your chance to participate.”
At this, all of the disciples immediately changed their attitude.
They no longer questioned this and started looking at the land beneath them.
There were also a few that suddenly grabbed the Feather Fall Talismans and jumped down. Though when they did, there were also some that grabbed more than just one.
In the square, there was one person who was watching all of this with a strange look on his face.
“Is this some kind of battle royale?” Lin Fan couldn’t help saying to himself.
Senior Brother Ying heard this and asked, “Sect master, is something wrong?”
Lin Fan shook his head with the strange look on his face before asking, “If they wipe out everyone, will it be a victory royale?”
Senior Brother Ying and the other elders looked at him with very strange looks when they heard this, as if they couldn’t understand just what he was saying.
Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, “It’s nothing.”
He turned back to look at the screens in front of them again.
On the spiritual boat, there were less and less people that were left.
That included the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect groups.
They had all been waiting for Xiao Ming to decide where they would jump, but Xiao Ming had just been calmly looking down at the land beneath them.
“There’s only ten minutes left before we reach the end of our flight path. Please make sure to jump as soon as possible.”
At this, many people started to panic and grabbed the Feather Fall Talismans to jump.
But even then, Xiao Ming remained calm and waited for something.
The host from the Martial Might Sect was surprised to see this and remembered what ‘that’ person had told him…so he had no choice but to come over to the Love Sect group and ask, “Martial niece, are you not planning on jumping?”
Everyone else looked at the host with a surprised look.
Only the Love Sect group looked at the host with smiles, as if they were already expecting this.
Xiao Ming just calmly said with a smile on her face, “I’m still waiting for the right spot.”
The host had a strange look on his face, but he didn’t say anything else.
He had his position to think about and couldn’t do too much.
When there were only five minutes left, Xiao Ming suddenly said, “Let’s go.”
She grabbed the Feather Fall Talisman and jumped off before anyone could react.
Both the Love Sect group and Demon Palm Sect group revealed bitter smiles before grabbing talismans and jumping off as well.
On the side, the host patted his chest and let out a sigh in relief.
If the Love Sect group had really decided not to jump, then it would have been a thorn in ‘that’ person’s plans. As the host, he would have no doubt received punishment because of that.
However since they jumped, then it was all fine.
But there was one thing that the host was curious about.
Why did they wait so long before jumping?
Was there something special about this place?
“This is so easy.”
Tie Yong said as they wandered around, gathering the herbs around them.
When they heard this, Huang Xie and Yu Huang couldn’t help putting their hands in their faces as they thought, “Why did you jinx it?”
They were surprised that it had gone this easily since they knew that Xiao Ming wouldn’t be willing to be this passive. There had to be something here that had attracted her attention, which was why she had waited this long to jump.
Or else, it would be considered a very good place to jump.
The deeper into the Ten Thousand Beast Valley, the stronger the beasts would be. Though the payoff was that there would be rarer herbs as well.
However, there was no need to jump right into the center like the others had done.
That was just a surefire way to attract attention and then be swarmed by the powerful beasts in the center of this Ten Thousand Beast Valley.
So it was best to jump on the sides of the Ten Thousand Beast Valley.
If they didn’t jump right away, it was better to jump near the end of the flight.
This place was safer than the other places and they could slowly make their way to the center.
It would be impossible for those that jumped in the center to have collected everything, it would even be a miracle if they collected 10% of everything that was there since they would be swarmed by the spirit beasts that lived in that place.
But as they had expected…
“Boom!”
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
There was a powerful shockwave followed by two powerful roars.
It seemed that trouble was coming for them…
Or rather, Xiao Ming was leading them into trouble.
