Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Won the Top Prize

Under the guidance of several Elders, Mo Wangchen and the others quickly ran out of Yunge City.

On the ancient road, nearly a hundred people surged past, kicking up dust wherever they went.

"Where is the Moyun Mountain Range?"

While running, Mo Wangchen asked Xu Chan and others beside him. The Moyun Mountain Range was quite famous in Yun Country, even his former prodigal self had heard of it.

But Mo Wangchen clearly had no idea about the location of the Moyun Mountain Range.

"According to our current speed, we should be able to get there before noon. However, by running this way, the Great Elder clearly doesn’t intend to let us rest. I’m afraid that by the time we reach the Moyun Mountain Range, many people will already be exhausted," said Niu Feng.

Mo Wangchen smiled faintly, "I guess this is also some kind of physical assessment..."

Gao Yang was silent for a moment before saying, "Although the Great Elder mentioned that we are only to be assessed on the periphery of the mountains, there are still many monster beasts there. If we’re not careful, there could be a lot of trouble. Three days, I’m afraid it’s not going to be easy..."

"Heh, monster beasts aren’t the biggest problem. What’s more important is to beware of some scheming individuals," Xu Chan laughed, then turned her gaze toward the crowd, looking at those disciples from the Lingtian Sect and Star Wing Pavilion who were participating in the assessment.

"I wonder whether the Great Elder will let us enter the Moyun Mountain Range all at once or in batches. No matter what, if we encounter each other inside the mountain range, everyone must work together, understand?" said Mo Wangchen.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded, their faces slightly somber, clearly feeling significant pressure from this assessment.

It wasn’t just about dealing with a large number of monster beasts; they also had to be constantly on guard against people from Star Wing Pavilion and Lingtian Sect.

...

By the time it was noon, the Bright Sun was near the center of the sky, the sunlight scattered down, making the ground emit waves of heat. At this moment, in front of a certain mountain range, Mo Wangchen and others had already arrived here.

After half a day of running, most people’s clothes were already drenched with sweat. Now they were staying at the edge of the Moyun Mountain Range, many people already lying on the ground, as tired as dogs.

Even Mo Wangchen, who possessed a much larger Spirit Sea than others, also couldn’t help but appear more somber.

"I’m dead tired," grumbled Grandpa Niu.

Beside Mo Wangchen, Niu Feng complained loudly, "Damn it, why were other people’s assessments so simple before, but when it came to Grandpa Niu, they suddenly changed the method of assessment? Isn’t this blatantly bullying?"

"It’s not necessarily a bad thing, look over there..."

Mo Wangchen smiled and then pointed in a certain direction.

Niu Feng and others were startled for a moment, then turned their heads to look, "Eh? People?"

"It seems to be other Elders from the Academy, and..."

"Inner Court Disciples?!"

Not far from the direction Mo Wangchen pointed, a large group of figures appeared, each one emanating a powerful aura, clearly Inner Court Disciples, along with several Inner Court Elders.

Great Elder Zhao Zhi walked over to that group, talked for a moment, and then those Inner Court Disciples entered the mountain range under the leadership of a few Elders.

"What are they doing here?" Gao Yang asked with a puzzled face.

Mo Wangchen pondered for a moment, as if he realized something, "Although this is an assessment, all of us here are geniuses from the Academy. If an accident occurred, it would be a loss nevertheless, I guess those Inner Court Disciples are called here to form a cordon, with the aim of creating a blockade around our assessment area to prevent us from encountering powerful monster beasts."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Niu Feng and others also realized, "That’s not bad, as long as they are not too powerful monster beasts, we should be able to handle them. Survive for three days, and after three days, we will be the Inner Court Disciples."

"Don’t get too happy too soon, the presence of these Inner Court Disciples might not necessarily be beneficial for us," Xu Chan shook her head slightly, frowning.

"What do you mean?" Gao Yang didn’t understand.

"Heh heh..."

Before Xu Chan could speak, Mo Wangchen started laughing, "Don’t forget, in the Inner Court, both Star Wing Pavilion and Lingtian Sect have significant connections. Maybe among those Inner Court Disciples, there are some acquainted with them, which might be a problem once we enter the mountain range..."

"You mean, those Inner Court Disciples might act against us?" Niu Feng and Gao Yang exchanged glances, their brows also furrowing.

If that was the case, then it could indeed be more troublesome. Originally, during this assessment, Star Wing Pavilion and Lingtian Sect already had many more people than Mo Pavilion. Now, they also had to be wary of the Inner Court Disciples potentially making a move in secret...

The troublesome part was that just now, from the aura perspective, those Inner Court Disciples were no simple characters, each and every one of them was at least in the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, belonging to the relatively strong disciples of the Inner Court.

"After entering the mountain range, you must survive inside for three days. Those who can walk out will be able to become Inner Court Disciples, but I must warn you..."

However, just then, the Great Elder came back again, his gaze sweeping over those participating in this assessment, "Although this is an assessment, I hope that no one will act against other disciples inside the mountain range, otherwise if I find out about it, I won’t let it go easily!"

Having said that, the Great Elder’s gaze paused on Jun Yao and Cao Yu for a moment before withdrawing.

The expressions of Jun Yao and Cao Yu changed slightly, clearly knowing that the Great Elder’s words were specifically meant as a warning for them!

"Now it’s time for the draw, a total of eighty-three people are participating in this assessment. Inside the draw box, there are numbers from one to eighty-three. The person who draws number one will enter the Moyun Mountain Range first, and the others will wait quietly for half a quarter of an hour before the second one enters, and so on!"

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, an Elder immediately brought up a draw box and placed it in front of Mo Wangchen and the others, "Start drawing!"

Then, eighty-three people approached and drew in turn, Lin Feng picked up his number plate and spread it out to look, discovering it was number six.

"I’m the sixth one to go in..."

He showed his number plate to Xu Chan and others, then laughed.

"Damn it, Grandpa Niu hit the jackpot; I’m actually the first one to go in!"

Only to see, Niu Feng cursed and then took out his number plate, which clearly had a ’one’ on it!

"Grandpa Niu is going first, I’ll scout the way for you!" Having said that, Niu Feng bid farewell to Mo Wangchen and the others and strode towards the inside of the Moyun Mountain Range.
