1636: Venturing Into the Mountains

Venturing Into the Mountains

Che Ruman found the heat hard to bear and hastily took out a water bottle from her inner world before the mentor could seal their mystic conscious. She chugged more than half of it in one go.1

Che Ruman hung the remaining half-filled bottle of water on her waist and asked impatiently, "How much longer to the entrance?"

"We should arrive soon."

The teams' advance slowed down. Everyone had been following a meandering mountainous path, and now they had stopped in front of a large area of fiery-red rocks.

The rocks here had been scorched red, making everything red in their line of sight.

Qiao Mu halted with the rest of the team.

"You, you, you! Your three teams will hunt and kill ten level-13 mystic beasts near the entrance of this red rock forest," Wei Xu stated coldly while pointing at three of the 23 teams.

"Right now, I will seal everybody's mystic conscious. When it comes time for you to fight the mystic beasts in the mountain range, you can only utilize your own cultivation and strength!"

"Have you taken out water and food from your inner world? I'll give you another minute to adjust and prepare. Be quick!"

Che Ruman's expression was unsightly as she took out two more water bottles from her inner world. She also dug out a lot of dry food and stuffed them into her pockets while protesting incessantly, "Mentor, you won't allow us to use our inner worlds in such a vile environment? Isn't this entrance exam too strict!"

"If you don't want to proceed with the exam, you can leave now!" Wei Xu responded indifferently. "I had stated the rules clearly early on! Making objections now has no meaning at all!"

In the next second, he sealed everyone's mystic conscious, catching them all off guard.

This maneuver involuntarily garnered all the students' admiration.

Che Ruman tried to manipulate her mystic conscious, and sure enough, she wasn't able to!

At this moment, Che Ruman's expression turned extremely wretched.

She really couldn't open her inner world. She couldn't help but be a bit regretful that she hadn't taken out the remaining two bottles of water from her inner world.

Wasn't the two and a half bottles of water she was carrying right now a bit too little?

It was too late now since her inner world had been sealed. Che Ruman couldn't help but be unsure when looking at Mentor Wei Xu.

It couldn't be as Wei Xu said. Even if they were to encounter large spiritual beasts, he wouldn't intervene and help them in the moment of life and death?

Wei Xu shook his hand, and a Heavenly Law covenant glowing with gold light unscrolled in layers in front of everyone, revealing the rows of names inscribed on it.

"Those who still decide to participate in the exam can come up and sign this life-and-death covenant."

"Those who do not want to sign can leave."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They were not blind and could clearly see what was written on the Heavenly Law covenant.

The covenant said, everybody was participating in this entrance exam of their own volition.

In the process of the entrance exam, mentors would not rescue them if they were to encounter any life-and-death crises. They all had to depend on teamwork and cooperation to fight and win.

Each team who had finished defeating ten of the designated mystic beasts could call for a mentor and request to leave the beast domain of the Lava Mountain Range.

Those who could not complete their task within the time limit would fail the exam and needed to leave the mountain immediately.

Everyone was to sign this Heavenly Law covenant of their own volition after reading it. Their life and death had nothing to do with the academy!

It was this kind of life-and-death contract. Are you signing or are you not signing?

If you aren't signing you can immediately scram!
