Chapter 2405: Chapter 2409: Methods and Results
"Hehe, let’s see how these little fellows perform."
Li Yuanting smiled gently, waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in mid-air, emitting a strong oppressive force.
"Since we’re here, let’s take a look. The reason we don’t want you to escort them is that we don’t want the students to overly rely on you, but it doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to watch!"
Ouyang Song glanced at the forest beside him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Hundreds of figures leaped out from the forest. They were the deans and elders of the junior academies.
"Your evaluations are becoming more and more troublesome!"
A grumbling voice arose, and two figures appeared beside Ouyang Song and others.
"Old drunkard, if you find it troublesome, let Jiang Chen come out; we don’t mind!"
Ouyang Song laughed lightly, looking at Hu Yiqiu.
The two who leaped in were indeed Hu Yiqiu and Jian Cangqiong. Behind them, Lu Wangcheng, Zhang Jiucheng, and Li Qisheng also followed.
Except for Hu Yiqiu, who had returned to the main academy as the chief elder, the other four could watch closely because of their roles as branch academy deans. This scene also stirred the desire of other junior academy deans for the branch academy title.
Wu Xianxia and Sang Zhenye did not follow along. Wu Xianxia was in a secluded retreat at Hu Yiqiu’s place, adjusting his state in preparation for treatment, while Sang Zhenye had gone to wait at the Academy Dan Medicine Pavilion to borrow fire and an alchemy cauldron.
The Innate Spirit Fire was not something that could be borrowed at any time. Changling Academy had its own set of rules for its use. Sang Zhenye, who was once an elder at the Academy Scripture Pavilion, had to run some connections to see if he could arrange something in advance, as he and Wu Xianxia couldn’t stay here for too long as overseer elders of Changlin Academy.
After the many academy deans appeared, the figures of many students also appeared on the light screen.
This was a barren region, with no buildings, mountains, rivers, only a vast desert.
As soon as Jiang Chen and others appeared, they felt a powerful oppressive force. Those early Divine Infant Realm students were all pressed to the ground by this pressure, while the mid Divine Infant Realm students barely managed to maintain their stance.
"Everyone, descend!"
An older student softly called out, and everyone descended to the ground.
"From here is the trial ground for early Divine Infant Realm students. All early Divine Infant Realm students stay and follow the arrangements of the senior students. The rest, come with me!"
The older student instructed, then swiftly leaped forward.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Everyone followed, leaving twenty-five senior students and all the early Divine Infant Realm students on the spot.
As everyone went deeper, the pressure on them increased. After advancing about a hundred meters, some of the physically weaker mid Divine Infant Realm students were no longer able to leap and could only walk. At this moment, the senior students also stopped.
"Here is the trial region for mid Divine Infant Realm students. Mid Divine Infant Realm students stay, the rest come with me!"
The leading senior student called out again and leaped forward once more.
"Young Master, I’m going!"
"Senior Brother, we’re going ahead!"
"Jiang Chen, go for it!"
Yan Hu and the others greeted Jiang Chen before leaping forward to follow the senior students, leaving behind the twenty-five senior students and Jiang Chen, along with the mid Divine Infant Realm students.
"Dear students, the next hundred meters is your trial region."
One of the twenty-five senior students stepped out; it was Liu Chang.
After scanning the group, Liu Chang smiled lightly and said, "This hundred-meter distance is the region identified by the academy as the most suitable for mid Divine Infant Realm cultivators’ trials. Once you see me beyond the hundred meters, your trial ends. Whoever reaches me can compete for the title of the first in the same realm and win glory for their academy. Understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in unison.
"Alright, I won’t waste any more words; I’ll be waiting a hundred meters away!"
Liu Chang called out loudly and swiftly leaped forward. The other twenty-four senior students spread out, with five standing every twenty meters, ready to send people out at any time.
"Everyone, a reminder: here, there is no chance to challenge again after your strength is depleted. If you feel you can’t hold on, shout immediately, and a senior student will take you out. Do not force yourself. If the power of the Great Dao within you is completely exhausted, you will be crushed into powder by the pressure here. No matter how strong your spiritual power is, it won’t help here. This is purely a test of Great Dao Comprehension!"
A senior student who was positioned at the rear reminded everyone.
"Thank you, senior."
Everyone cupped their fists toward the senior student, their eyes eagerly looking at the area ahead.
After walking through the hundred-meter path behind them, everyone understood this trial ground.
In this trial ground, there was no other energy except the pressure of the Great Dao, meant to test everyone’s Great Dao Comprehension.
At the same time, it helped everyone to better understand their comprehension, making this trial ground an ideal place to gain more control over one’s power of the Great Dao!
"What a great place, much more convenient than our training methods. It’s a pity we can’t always train here."
Jiang Chen looked at the desert ahead and sighed softly.
"If there isn’t a certain degree of control over one’s power and Great Dao Comprehension as a foundation, coming here might not be a good thing."
Jian Wuheng said softly.
"Not bad, being able to think of that."
Jiang Chen chuckled, looking at Jian Wuheng: "Looks like I shouldn’t call you ’wooden head’ anymore, Senior Brother."
"Haha."
Jian Wuheng chuckled lightly.
"How does your method compare to this one?"
Feng Qingyang looked at Jiang Chen with eyes glowing.
"Although it’s not as convenient as here, both have their pros and cons."
Jiang Chen replied with a light smile, "With my method, you can train almost anytime, anywhere, while here, you can’t enter whenever you want. As for the effect..."
Feeling the Great Dao pressure on his body, a look of confidence flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes: "Training with me for a month is as good as training here for three days."
Feng Qingyang paused, a look of surprise passing through his eyes.
Even though it seems like Jiang Chen’s training method is weaker by ten times, don’t forget that this is a trial ground formed after a Saint’s fall into a tangible domain!
The ability of the domain to become tangible itself shows that the Saint was at the pinnacle level.
The fact that such a place created by a strong existence is only ten times more effective than Jiang Chen’s method proves just how powerful Jiang Chen’s training method is. After all, he is just a mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator!
Thinking of this, Feng Qingyang gave Jiang Chen a deep look, with a hint of admiration emerging in his heart.
