Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 737 - 230: Magic Chessboard
To avoid dwelling on that thought any longer, Lu decided to keep a distance from the Human Clan girl; it was best for him to leave quickly.
Before leaving, Lu couldn’t suppress his curiosity, "My name is Lu, what’s your name?"
"Yun Sheng," as she answered, she waved her hand, and a soul stone from a Blood Teeth Crocodile landed in her grasp.
Goodbye, Yun Sheng, when we meet again, we will be enemies.
Lu repeated in his mind, hesitated, and finally walked away.
The sky was gradually brightening, and the newcomers in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm were about to face an even more brutal day.
Inside the Dutian Inn, the double sandglass symbolizing the passage of time had already flipped; this meant that one day had passed in the three-day and three-night trial.
The Second Elder sat at a table with a cup of tea before him, and next to the tea, there was a chessboard similar to Chinese Go.
This chessboard, known as the Magic Chessboard for newcomers, is specially prepared by the Mainland Elite Camp every time new trainees enter the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
After completing the first newcomers’ trial, they no longer appear on the chessboard.
The survivors, next time, will become veterans. They will already have enough experience to face the trials ahead.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see something special about this chessboard.
The pieces on the board moved on their own, in black and white.
The pieces are not real Go pieces, but the trainees’ Magic Badges, each marked with a newcomer’s name.
The entire chessboard is a scaled-down map of the periphery of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
On the board, there are miniature versions of Feiyue River, sand dunes, caves, depressions, and various other terrains.
There are also some moving red dots on the board, which symbolize the Demon Beasts in the outskirts of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.
The deeper the red dot’s color and the larger its size, the higher the Rank of the Demon Beast it symbolizes.
Generally, under normal circumstances, the peripheral areas of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm are inhabited mainly by Blood Cloud Beast Soldiers of Ninth Rank and below.
For most trainees in the Continent Magic Elite Camp, at the level of Holy Mages and Martial Arts Sect, this is still manageable.
As long as the new trainees remain within the periphery of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, they will appear and move on the chessboard, allowing the Second Elder to keep track of the trainees’ overall situation.
But the Second Elder is just a spectator and will not directly intervene in the trainees’ trials.
Even though he has noticed that some trainees have already been surrounded by Demon Beasts.
The chessboard corresponds to the hundred badges that have been sent out.
A soft sound, and one of the white Magic Badges, like a lamp extinguished by the wind, suddenly dimmed.
The white Magic Badge turned grey.
Another one dead, the Second Elder sighed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
On the chessboard, sixteen Magic Badges had already turned grey.
The remaining eighty-four Magic Badges were still moving slowly.
Every time, the death rate in the newcomers’ trial would exceed forty percent; judging by this year’s situation, the death rate might be even higher than in previous years.
The Great Elder’s guess, that the secret of the Sky Wing City Beast Chaos and Sky Magic Array has been leaked, is likely correct.
Within the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, there must already be some pawns of the Beast Clan.
In the past few days, it was said that several people who entered the Beast Blood Realm did not come out.
These people were not newcomers; among them were even some veteran trainees from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp.
Such a large-scale disappearance is highly suspicious.
However, despite knowing this, the Second Elder did not call a halt to the trials of the new trainees.
The storm is about to arrive, just as the Great Elder said, the Elite Camp cannot always be their safe harbor.
The Mainland Elite Camp does not need flowers and plants sheltered within a greenhouse.
The Second Elder composed himself and glanced at the Magic Badges that were still intact.
These badges, in addition to being movable, can also sense in real time the situation of each new candidate killing Blood Cloud Beasts.
The badge with the highest kill count of Blood Cloud Beasts emits the brightest white light, and it also shows the number of Blood Cloud Beasts the trainees have killed.
One day has passed, and for the time being, the one ranked first is Feng Tian.
In this regard, it was exactly as the Second Elder had estimated.
If the entire chessboard was like a sky, then Feng Tian’s Magic Badge right now was like the moon, emitting a bright light, whereas the other Magic Badges were like the surrounding stars, much dimmer by comparison.
Some people’s badges were even dim and lightless, which meant they didn’t encounter a single Blood Cloud Beast.
Feng Tian, indeed, is the strongest among these trainees, the earliest to have broken through.
After he entered the Beast Blood Realm, he didn’t stop for a moment; on the very same day, he entered the nest of Demon Beast Blood Crystal Beasts.
Blood Crystal Wolves are pack animals that usually move about during the day, and once they appear, there are always as many as ten at once.
The Demon Beasts of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm are mostly fierce by nature, with astonishing attacking power.
Ten Blood Crystal Wolves, swooping in for the kill, would be enough to leave a Martial Saint level Martial Artist nothing but bones.
Yet someone as formidable as Feng Tian had none of these concerns; he was either a madman or so powerful that he was completely fearless.
The gaze once again fell on the area where Feng Tian was, as close to eight or nine red dots of Demon Beasts swarmed him.
In just the time of half a cup of tea, all those red dots disappeared.
The number on the badge representing Feng Tian had already jumped to one hundred and three.
The number on Feng Tian’s Magic Badge had settled at one hundred and three, the nearby Blood Crystal Wolves had been almost entirely slaughtered.
It seemed that Feng Tian breaking Liu Tongtian’s record would still be somewhat difficult, the Second Elder stroked his newly grown beard.
One day and one night, more than a hundred Demon Beasts.
The Great Elder remembered that in recent years, the record for single-day slaughter of Blood Cloud Beasts was still held by Liu Tongtian, the first name on the Magic Power List.
If not mistaken, Liu Tongtian’s highest record was killing two hundred and fifty-one Blood Cloud Beasts in one day.
However, that was also because Liu Tongtian had learned the super Magic Thunderbolt, which was highly effective in killing groups of Demon Beasts.
With Feng Tian’s current strength, it was still impossible to surpass Liu Tongtian’s record.
The Second Elder looked around and then focused on a badge with a dim color, almost gray, which could be said to be Yun Sheng’s Magic Badge.
Because of Yun Sheng’s outstanding Alchemy talent, the Second Elder had been paying close attention to her ever since she completed the newcomer assessment.
It’s just a pity that Yun Sheng’s cultivation of her Magic Power had not been rapid in the past few years.
She also hadn’t concocted any new medicine that wowed people, which unavoidably led to some disappointment from the Second Elder.
The earlier intention of taking her as a disciple had gradually faded.
At this moment, Yun Sheng’s Magic Badge still displayed a "zero".
~Red alert, in the next three days, there will be an unprecedented massive update, it’s the end of the month, why are you still hiding your monthly tickets, come on, spit them out~
