It was a sunny day with no clouds in sight.
Standing at the Academy gate, Flender gazed at the already somewhat dilapidated plaque inscribed with Shrek Academy's words, for a moment his heart filled with mixed feelings. Twenty years, how many twenty years could there be in a person's life? The bits and pieces of what he once had here kept flowing in his heart, and a sour feeling appeared at the tip of his nose.
"Don't look, go, it's not like we won't come back, at worst later brother I'll accompany you back to retire."”
Flender glared at him. "Am I very old?"
"Not old, we're only fifty years old, not too old." However, the few of us can be considered oddities. None of us are married.”
Flender snorted. "That's because your standards are too high. How can female Spirit Masters be so easy to find? Don't you know that female Spirit Masters only make up ten percent of all Spirit Masters?”
"What about you? You don't have high standards? Why don't you have a wife?" Zhao Wuji said somewhat unconvinced.
Flender stared blankly for a moment, somewhat unable to speak.
When he raised his eyes to look at Grandmaster, he discovered that Grandmaster was also looking at the two of them, his eyes revealing a bit of bitterness, practically shaking his head at the same time.
"Let's go." Flender collected his emotions, giving the order to set off. A group of ten people set foot on the steps to leave Shrek.
The Flaming Mountain Range was located at the northeast most border of the Heaven Dou Empire's center, and was also the largest mountain range in the Heaven Dou Empire. The main mountain range of the Flaming Mountain Range had a mountain that burned with raging flames all year round, while the surrounding mountains were covered by thick snow. This was a great contrast.
That was how the Flaming Mountain Range got its name. Actually, excluding the Flaming Mountain Range, it would be more appropriate to call it the Icy Snow Mountain Range.
The Flame Holy Land was actually a mysterious place passed down from several tens of thousands of years ago in the Heaven Dou Empire, specially used to select outstanding Spirit Masters. As for what secrets the Flame Holy Land had, it was in the hands of the imperial family, only the core members of the imperial family knew.
The location of the Flame Sacred Land was the main mountain range of the Flame Mountain Range. This place was guarded by the royal guards all year round. As it only opened once every forty years, even some of the emperors might not have personally witnessed the opening of the Flame Sacred Land.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the biggest reason Spirit Hall was so cautious of the two great empires was because of the existence of these two holy lands.
After a long and arduous journey, Shrek Academy's group of ten finally reached the outskirts of the Blazing Mountain Range after traveling for more than ten days without stopping.
Outside the Flaming Mountain Range, there were many villages and stockaded villages. The distribution of each stockaded village was very orderly. Looking at the overall situation, it was obvious that they were acting as a buffer zone. These villages were clearly heavily guarded. They were linked together to protect the safety of the Blazing Mountain Range.
Standing at the periphery and looking from afar, although they were more than ten miles away, they could clearly see the towering Flaming Mountain Range in the distance. It was majestic and imposing.
All he could see was a vast expanse of snow white. There was only a thread of red dancing in the center. That was the world-famous Flaming Mountain.
On the way, Grandmaster gave each of the Shrek Seven Devils a palm-sized number plate forged from pure silver, engraved on it was the Heaven Dou Empire's Son of Heaven Sacred Sword. Apart from that, there was only a number representing the number. Supposedly, this number plate was also imbued with the spiritual imprint of a powerful Title Douluo in the imperial family, absolutely unable to be faked.
The challengers could only enter the Flaming Sacred Land with this identity card. The others could wait outside the Flaming Sacred Land for the results.
There were still two days 'journey from the outskirts of the Flaming Mountain Range to the Flaming Holy Land, but at the outskirts, there were already people arranged by the Imperial Family to receive them. Grandmaster showing the Spirit Hall elder order made that attendant extremely alarmed, even the Shrek Seven Devils also used the tiger's might as a fox.
Those who participated in the trial were definitely the best of the younger generation in the entire continent. Even so, the number of people who were qualified and recommended was still quite large.
There were at least a few thousand people, so at this moment, the outer area of the Blazing Mountain Range was very lively. Moreover, it was mainly made up of youths and young ladies below the age of twenty.
Ma Hongjun very quickly found some information from the crowd,”
"Really? How rich?" Oscar also became interested.
"Hey, dead plate, don't keep me in suspense.”Ning Rongrong pouted.
Ma Hongjun chuckled, seeing everyone staring at him expectantly, waiting for him to speak, he felt a sense of accomplishment, and didn't keep him in suspense, saying: "The Heaven Dou Emperor's imperial decree, the top fifty cultivators of this trial, the empire bestows the title of baron, a hundred mu of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold; The top ten cultivators would be given the title of Viscount, a thousand acres of fertile land, and ten thousand taels of gold. The top three participants would be given the title of Earl, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and 100,000 taels of gold. As for the champion, hehe…"
This " hehe " meant that he had more to say. "Ranked first, bestowed with the title of Marquis, rewarded with a national treasure, Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!”
"What is this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"”
"This I don't know either, but from the name, it should be a very formidable spirit tool."”
"However, no matter what, the imperial family's reward this time is indeed very generous. I just don't know what the rules of the trial are.”Tang San also joined in the discussion.
Apart from a very small number of members of the Heaven Dou imperial family, no one knew this. It could be foreseen that the competition this time would definitely be extremely fierce.
The Shrek Seven Devils had already begun to rub their palms together, eager to give it a try.
Ning Rongrong suddenly somewhat worriedly asked: "Oscar and I are auxiliary system Spirit Masters, we basically don't have any fighting strength, we'll probably be at a disadvantage in this trial.”
"I've already inquired about this. It turns out that different series of Spirit Masters are tested in different areas. There are altogether six big areas in the Flame Holy Land, respectively for power attack system, agility attack system, control system, auxiliary system, pure agility system, and defense system Spirit Masters. Me, boss Dai and Xiao Wu should be in the power attack system, Rongrong you and Oscar are in the support system, third brother is in the control system, Xiaoyu is in the agility system.”
"So it's like this, then I don't need to worry."”
Under the guidance of the attendant, the group arrived in front of the Flaming Sacred Land. The so-called Flaming Sacred Land was actually impossible to see clearly. In front of the snow-white mountain range, there were six huge doors sitting side by side. Each door was 50 meters tall and 20 meters wide. They were the six entrances to the Flaming Sacred Land, leading to six different regions.
At this moment, the six doors were still tightly shut, and an extremely mysterious aura came from within. It made people want to immediately enter and investigate, but no one dared to do so, because the army guarding the front would immediately tear you into pieces.
And right in front of the Flaming Holy Land was an enormous castle, this castle was enough to accommodate ten thousand people living inside. Before entering the Flaming Holy Land, all the cultivators, as well as people like Grandmaster and Flender accompanying the cultivators, lived in this castle.
The castle had a total of four floors, the top floor was where the imperial family members who organized this trial lived, the third floor was where some extremely distinguished guests lived, such as Spirit Hall elders and the seven great sect masters, the second floor was where some of the lower ranked nobles lived, and the lowest floor was where some commoners lived.
With Grandmaster's light, the Shrek Academy group of ten people lived on the third floor's left side. Similarly on this floor were the other two Spirit Hall elders, several sect masters, and the cultivators they recommended.
