Chapter 162 Trial Realm
The next morning, a huge vortex appeared above the sea of clouds. The contestants felt their consciousness begin to blur. When they opened their eyes again, Gu Yuchuan found himself in a tropical rainforest. He immediately transformed into his original form and hid in a nearby tree. He had to be careful in this unfamiliar environment.
Looking at his body, he felt that its strength and other aspects were the same as his original body in the outside world. This was truly a mysterious method, and Gu Yuchuan simply couldn't understand how the Demon Lord had accomplished this.
In fact, building this secret realm really took a lot of effort from the Demon Lord. In previous years, there was no such thing as a real selection. They were all real battles, either in arena battles or in a real secret realm. They were not like this kind of illusion. But when a real battle started, there was a problem: no matter how careful you were, someone would still die.
What they lack most now is talent. The Demon Lord cannot accept the death of any talented person. This secret realm and the extraction of consciousness are secret realms he created using a spiritual treasure as the core. It is the internal space of a spiritual treasure, and it requires a large amount of resources every day. Even a Nascent Soul stage Demon Emperor cannot withstand such a supply.
After checking his physical body, Gu Yuchuan slowly released his divine sense. Here, their divine sense was also suppressed, and they could only see things within a hundred meters. This was something Gu Yuchuan was not used to. He could only see that there was no danger within a hundred meters. Suddenly, a voice rang out in the air.
"One hundred contestants, there are many resources in the wilderness that can help you in battle. You can improve your combat abilities by collecting these resources. Killing contestants will earn you points, with a default score of one point. Completing tasks will also increase your points. The top eight contestants in terms of points will win directly. Nights in the wilderness are full of dangers, but the safe zones will protect you. Each safe zone can only hold ten cultivators, and there are only eight safe zones on the first day. The competition officially begins."
Gu Yuchuan's expression also turned grim. The competition was extremely brutal, with every policy designed to incite conflict. The competition was fierce. The first thing to do now was to search for supplies. Both the fox spirit and the voice from earlier had emphasized the importance of supplies, which would allow cultivators to overcome stronger opponents.
Secondly, they found a safe zone. Since this was set up, the danger at night must be immense, something they would find difficult to withstand on their own. Even if they were exceptionally talented and managed to get through it, it would still have a significant impact on their subsequent combat strength.
Gu Yuchuan transformed into a half-human, half-snake form and began searching. Before long, he saw something with a green glow. After drawing it over with his magic power, he discovered a pill.
"Three Blood-Recovery Pills, each of which can eliminate 30% of the injury after being taken."
His eyes lit up immediately. This was a good thing! Three of them together were equivalent to a life. Of course, they were now in illusory bodies, embodiments of the rules, so they could naturally use the rules to heal themselves. If all resources were this useful, it would indeed have a great impact on the battle.
No, this is only green. Following the usual pattern, there will be white, green, blue, purple, and gold. There must be even more powerful treasures ahead. Alright, he needs to search for more resources.
He looked around and chose to start walking in the east. He could feel that the air there was more humid, probably because there was water flowing there. As a water-attribute cultivator, his combat power was stronger near water, so naturally he wanted to go that way.
He walked for a long time and then spotted a blue light. When he picked it up, he found it was a long spear.
"Blue spear, medium-grade spiritual weapon hardness, magic power can be amplified by 30% when passing through the spear."
He gripped the spear tightly, his shock growing even greater. A 30% increase in mana was enough for a cultivator to fight beyond their level. And this was only blue; how powerful would it be if it were purple or even gold?
However, the purple and gold ones are extremely rare. On the first day, not a single gold one was released, and only a handful of purple ones were released, so only a very few cultivators were able to find them.
As Gu Yuchuan walked, he suddenly stopped. He had spotted an enemy in front of him—a tiger, also at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Naturally, he had to fight. They had only been here for a short time, and everyone had very few resources. It was more about competing based on their original combat strength. Fortunately, Gu Yuchuan was very confident in his own combat strength.
His spiritual sense was likely much more solid than that of the tiger; he detected the tiger, but the tiger did not detect him.
He slowly approached, knowing that a fight was inevitable, since the final ranking was based on points, and only those with higher scores could win. Finally, the tiger saw Gu Yuchuan, and its eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"So it's the Azure Scale Demon General. Come on, let's have a go."
Gu Yuchuan gripped his spear tightly, and a wave of water shot out. The water, amplified by the spear, transformed into a water tornado in the air, whipping up dust and leaves from the surrounding area.
The tiger instinctively retreated. It was difficult for it to withstand such power, but it had no choice but to fight back. It roared, and the sound waves turned into sonic waves that began to impact the waterspout. It continuously destroyed the structure of the waterspout, and finally, when the waterspout hit it, it was much weaker.
However, Gu Yuchuan's spear had already reached him. Gu Yuchuan's movements were extremely fast, and he thrust dozens of times in the blink of an eye. The tiger tried its best to defend, but it was still hit several times, leaving several bloody holes in its body. There was even a hint of fear in its eyes.
He took two steps back and leaped, slamming his claws down on Gu Yuchuan's head. The force and speed of the blow were immense, making it extremely difficult to dodge. At that moment, Gu Yuchuan's spear was still in a forward thrust position, leaving him no time to move it upwards. He could only hastily flick his tail, which collided with the opponent's claws, causing both of them to stagger back.
In a nearby puddle, a frog stared wide-eyed at their duel. Both were stronger than him, which thrilled him. He couldn't help but put himself in Gu Yuchuan's shoes; if he were to withstand one of the tiger's attacks, he certainly wouldn't be able to.
Now, he wants to become the fisherman in the fight between the snipe and the clam.
At this moment, the tiger was indeed injured. Several of its claws were broken, and it was spitting blood. Gu Yuchuan's tail was also bleeding, but the injuries were much less severe.
