Chapter 246
As he spoke, he pointed to the students standing behind him.
There are seven in total, and it seems that they are the other contestants who will be tested in this trial.
Li Cheng glanced at them noncommittally, sensing that the level of these people had also reached the fifth level.
As third-year students, their abilities are pretty good.
"Let me speak directly." Cardin knocked on the table: "The three of you showed good strength in the entrance examination. If this year is not the exploration of the secret realm that determines the ownership of the Trial Gate once every ten years, Then I wholeheartedly agree to hand over the command to you, Li Cheng, this is to cultivate this genius of yours."
"But this year, no."
"This year is the top priority. It determines whether the academy can freely use the trial gate in the next ten years, and the three of you have too little secret realm experience."
"So, I expect you to obey the orders of my selectors."
Cardin's tone was still sincere, but Li Cheng still sipped the black tea noncommittally.
"You don't need to be unconvinced." Cardin continued: "The place of this trial is the ruins of Rongdu, which is Level 5 A+ in 347 BC."
"We have been preparing for this trial for a whole year. We have sorted out all the big and small things in the ruins of Rongdu and found a way to intervene in the timeline without being too dangerous."
"That is... the guide to clearing the level?" Li Cheng glanced at him.
"Well, you are right to say that." Cardin smiled: "Li Cheng, you are the first genius to freeze time in the history of Destiny Continent. You are a natural explorer of secret realms, so you should also It’s clear how much easier it would be to have such a…clearance guide.”
"Well, that's true." Li Cheng nodded.
"So, you agree to my proposal?" Cardin stretched out his hand and smiled confidently.
He believed that a smart man like Li Cheng would make the right decision in this situation.
"I refuse."
"So good...wait, what did you say?" The smile on Cardin's face stopped abruptly.
"I said I refused." Li Cheng smiled softly.
You have a strategy for the ruins of Rongdu. What does it mean for me to go to the Furious Father God to get it?
Want to harm someone with expired guides?
There are no doors.
And... Li Cheng looked at Cardin and slowly narrowed his eyes.
He originally didn't care about the birth of the three of them, but now he had to come over and take the initiative to drag them into the fire.
This person is trying to be attentive for nothing, so there is most likely something wrong with him.
"Brother Li Cheng, do you know what you are talking about?" Kadan's eyes slowly opened, revealing their sharp edges.
"Oh? So you can open your eyes?" Li Cheng was shocked.
Cardin looked at him deeply again, stood up slowly, and returned to his good-natured appearance at the beginning: "Okay, okay, this matter has reached a point where we are hot-faced and cold-blooded, so I wish you three good luck." Good luck, haha.”
He bowed and left with the other seven people.
Looking at the backs of several people, Mu scratched his head thoughtfully: "Boss, isn't our attitude not very good? After all, we have robbed others of their positions."
"What the hell? Why are you so anthropomorphic?" Karenina looked at Mu in confusion.
Li Cheng, on the other hand, stared at the backs of these people, thoughtfully.
…………
"Sir Cardin, what should we do?" On the other side, a student followed Cardin.
"Oh, it's really troublesome." Cardin's face was expressionless, and the gentle smile on his face was no longer there: "I originally prepared three meat pigs for you to go in and rob, but I didn't expect that this time, they were replaced. "
Yes, this is the reason why Cardin voluntarily repeated the grade.
He wants to form his own power, and building a power requires money and people.
Twice a year, he would use the Trial Gate to specially arrange for three aristocratic mages with average strength but well-off families to enter the secret realm with his cronies.
Let the cronies harvest all the relics from the three pigs and sell them through channels after they are released, which will be used to win over the subordinates and develop the organization's funds.
In the secret realm within the Trial Gate, although people will not die, they will lose their memory.
After coming out, he will not remember that his belongings were taken away or that he was killed by his classmates. He will only think that he did not perform well and died while exploring the secret realm.
Is there any better place to make money than this?
This time, Cardin planned to use the same method, but unexpectedly, the three weakest pigs were replaced.
Therefore, he thought of tricking Li Cheng's trio into the fire, using his command authority to kill the three of them and take away their belongings.
Especially that Li Cheng, who didn't know how much benefit he got from the last time he was in the secret realm.
These benefits cannot be left in his hands.
"Hey, there's no other way." Cardin smiled coldly: "I originally wanted to use elegant means to deal with the three of them, but they didn't want to, so I have no choice but to use rude methods."
"After you get in, do it yourself and find an opportunity to kill them."
"You seven fifth-level people, with so many relics in your hands, will have no problem dealing with three third-level people, right? Lille?"
"Of course, haha." The subordinate named Lier also showed a cold smile: "Senior Cardin, I can't wait to see what good things Li Cheng has in his hands."
"By the way, Senior Cardin, Li Cheng is also a genius. Do we really not accept him?"
"His foundation is not stable. He is just a guy who likes to find loopholes in the rules and take advantage of them. What we need are real geniuses like you." Cardin patted Lear on the shoulder: "Okay, go ahead, the trial is going to be here we go."
"Yes, senior."
Several people nodded and walked towards the stage.
Cardin looked at their backs and slowly opened his eyes.
Genius Club, this is the name Cardin gave his power.
Incorporate all the geniuses in the Destiny Continent, twist them into a rope, and develop together, in order to find a possibility to save the world someday in the future.
This is the purpose for which this force was established.
History is written by geniuses.
To do this, they can sacrifice everything that mediocrity has.
Giving all resources to geniuses is the only thing mediocre people like them should do.
"Haha." Cardin laughed out loud: "Genius Club, haha, genius, I am enough."
"Too many will only increase your worries."
At this moment, Typhon walked up to the stage. After giving Li Cheng a look of reverence, he pressed his hands and said, "I announce that this joint trial has begun."
The door of the World Tree, which was spiraling like a vortex and circling like a big banyan tree, slowly opened.
If the light like the morning sun shines on the candidates taking part in the competition.
A loud prayer echoed in their ears - "The place of trial is the ruins of Rongdu, Level 5 A+ in 347 BC."
In the Northern Academy of Magic, Principal Nesp possessed the students. As he stepped through the door, he showed a confident smile - "I will win!"
In the Dragon Feast Magic Academy, Airisa looked at the students holding dragon talismans as they entered the door one by one, showing a smile of determination - a fifth-level secret realm, if I send an eighth-level person to fight, can I still lose?
In the Full Moon Academy, Cardin glanced at Li Cheng's trio, pretended to smile kindly, and watched his subordinates walk into the door - Oh, we have a complete guide to clearing the secret realm, and the ruins of Rongdu are already ours It’s a playground!
"This time, we will definitely win!"
Across the vast space, the three people declared victory at the same time.
And Li Cheng also smiled gently and sunnyly, and took out the key to the door of the World Tree.
[Warning, warning, this trial has changed due to unknown reasons. 】
[The place of trial was transformed from [347 BC, the ruins of Rongdu (Level 5 A+)] to [Year **** of this era, the territory of the Furious Father God]. 】
[Difficulty: Level 10 SSS+]
"What the hell?"
At this moment, the three forces from the three colleges roared at the same time.
Chapter 1D, it turns out to be the Holy Grail War!
Abyss Realm.
As the world began to spin, ten trialists from Full Moon Academy entered.
An old and withered voice also sounded in their ears.
[The intersection of hatred and anger, dusk and dawn, wars and smoke, the abyss ushered in changes that have never happened in hundreds of millions of years. The loyal dog of the abyss was furious with the Father God, raised the battle flag in his hand, and pointed his sword in all directions. 】
[He saw, he came, he conquered. 】
[Whether it is the Land of Shadows or the Destiny Continent, they all seem to be in his pocket. 】
[And in fact, is this really the case? 】

[Are you a passer-by of history, or are you a part of history? 】
[Everyone, I wish you good luck in martial arts. 】
【hehe. 】
The sound in his ears gradually faded, and Li Cheng opened his eyes.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the last two words "haha" were very mocking.
Mu and Karenina also woke up next to him, rubbing their eyes, obviously still in the confusion of time and space travel.
This is normal. The weaker the strength, the greater the impact of the secret realm. People like Li Cheng who only have level 3 but are hardly affected by the 10th level secret realm are exceptions.
He looked around again and found that the scene in the Angry Father God's Kingdom was very different from the previous Capital of Deception, but almost the same as the Destiny Continent.
The same medieval-like architectural style, the same magic waves flowing in the air, and the same Emblem oil lamps flashing on both sides of the road.
This familiar feeling made Li Cheng a little dazed for a moment, wondering if there was a bug in the game and the transmission failed.
What surprised him even more was that the small village they were in was eerily quiet.
The moonlight was like snow, silently sprinkled on the low bungalows; around the azure Hui oil lamp, there were a few unnamed flying insects wandering; the creaking sound of the door bolt shaking with the wind poured into Li Cheng's ears.
There was no human voice at all.
With the weak light, he gently pushed open a door beside him, squatted down, and touched the traces on the ground a few times.
Those were two traces that looked like they were dragged by something.
The night vision ability of the blood clan came in handy at this moment. He looked into the house along the dragging traces and found that there was no valuable stuff in the dark, only a mess left by the thieves and robbed.
"Strange." Mu shook his head and lit the tinderbox: "Where did all these demons go? Could it be that the World Tree teleported us to a place where no one lives in order to prevent us from being eliminated all at once?"
"Not necessarily, maybe..." Karenina patted Mu's shoulder, and when he turned his head, she put the tinderbox under her chin, revealing a ferocious look: "I was teleported to a haunted house~"
"Ahhhh! Don't scare me!" Mu was so scared that he ran away with his head in his hands. With a bang, he tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground, his head hitting the bottom of the bed.
"Hahahaha, Mu, are you really the son of the God of War? You are too timid." Karenina laughed while holding her belly.
But she didn't wait for Mu's rebuttal.
A few seconds later, the trembling voice of the Son of the God of War, as if he had seen a ghost, rang out.
