Chapter 833 - Elite Demon Sealer''s Examination
"This feeling... It''s almost as though I have returned to the nameless town with that crazy olddy...'' Yuan thought to himself as he stared at the mountain valley.
"In order to pass the examination and be an Elite Demon Sealer, you must traverse this Demons'' Valley and reach the end within 3 days." Yan Hara said to them sometimeter.
"Demons'' Valley?" Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows upon hearing this familiar name, wondering if this is some kind of freaky coincidence or fate.
"Yes, this ce used to be inhabited by mostly low-ranking demons in the lower heavens. Of course, this isn''t the real location. It''s just a recreation of the ce." Yan Hara said.
And she continued, "The real Demons'' Valley is muchrger than this ce since this is just a portion of the real thing. It''s about 100 miles from here to the end, but you''re not allowed to fly during the examination, and you''ll encounter demons on your way there."
Tang Zheng then spoke, "You can ignore the demons and finish the examination without sealing a single demon, but you acquire points for sealing demons- bonus points if you can kill them. At the end, depending on your points, you''ll be able to receive a demon sealing treasure from the treasury."
Wan Yu spoke next, "Demon sealing treasures are very rare, so I rmend that you try to acquire as many points as you can during this examination."
Yan Hara approached Yuan and handed him a ne.
"Wear this so we know your location at all times. The demons may not be real, but they can still inflict real injuries, so you should treat them as though you''re fighting a real demon."
Yuan epted the ne and wore it around his neck.
He then watched as Yan Hara handed Wu Kaiqi and the youngdy the same ne.
''They''re also participating in this examination?'' Yuan thought they were there as judges at first, but that didn''t seem to be the case.
"Now onto the rules for the examination." Yan Hara spoke, and she continued, "As I''d already mentioned, you are not allowed to fly in the examination. You are allowed to use any treasures during the examination, but demon sealing treasures are forbidden."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
"You have 72 hours to traverse the Demons'' Valley and reach the end. You will know it''s the end when you see the Divine Paragon''s statue. If you are lost, you can look at the sky and follow that red star."
Yuan followed Yan Hara''s finger that was pointed at the sky, and sure enough, there was a bright crimson star flickering in the yellow sky.
"You may forfeit the examination at any time by destroying the crystal on your ne, but if you fail the examination, you will not be able to partake in it for another 1o years."
''Ten years?!'' Yuan cried inwardly.
Although ten years may seem like nothing for these powerful cultivators that have lived for hundreds if not thousands of years, it was a significant amount of time for Yuan, who has only lived for 18 years.
''I cannot fail this examination no matter what.'' Yuan told himself as Yan Hara continued to speak.
"As mentioned already, you are not required to fight any demons you encounter during the examination, but you will receive points for doing so. You will receive 1 point for sealing any Lower Demons, 5 points for sealing Elite Demons, 10 points for Superior Demons, which will be the highest ranking demon avable during the examination, and if you manage to kill the demon, you will receive double points ."
"At the end of the examination, you may use your points to trade for demon sealing treasures. And before you ask- yes, you are allowed to trade for multiple demon sealing treasures as long as you have enough points, so good luck with that ."
"Do you have any questions before we start this examination?"
Yuan raised his hands and asked, "How do we know how much time we have left?"
"We will let you know through the ne every 24 hours for the first two days. On the final day, we will remind you every 4 hours, and during thest four hours, we will remind you every hour." Tang Zheng responded.
"I understand." Yuan nodded.
"Do you two have any questions?" Wan Yu asked the other two participants.
They shook their heads.
"Then we will begin the examination now. We will begin the timer once you enter the Demons'' Valley. Good luck." Yan Hara said to them before the judges flew away, disappearing from their sights.
Once they were alone, Wan Kaiqi turned to look at the youngdy and said, "Daoist Huan, let''s have a friendlypetition to see who receives the most points during the examination. If you win, I will give you all of my points, but if I win, you will go on a date with me."
The youngdy surnamed Huan turned to look at Wu Kaiqi and spoke in a nonchnt voice, "I don''t like your smile."
And without exining any further, she turned around and disappeared into the Demons'' Valley.
Wan Kaiqi turned to look at Yuan, who had been staring at them, and scoffed, "What are you looking at? A Spirit Lord like you won''t survive even a day inside the Demons'' Valley."
"Do you want to gamble on that im? If you win, I will give you all of my points, but if I win, you will give me your points." Yuan suddenly responded in a way that Wan Kaiqi didn''t expect.
Wan Kaiqi coldly snorted after snapping out of his daze, "That''s not fair at all. You can simply go into hiding for an entire day."
Yuan then said, "Okay, let''s use your rules instead. Whoever acquires the most points during the examination will take the loser''s points."
"That''s more like it." A confident smile appeared on Wan Kaiqi''s face.
"So you agree?" Yuan asked for confirmation.
"Yes." Wan Kaiqi nodded.
"Good. Then may the best one win." Yuan sped his hands and bowed to Wan Kaiqi before entering the Demons'' Valley.
"Arrogant brat, you won''t be acting so smug in three days!" Wan Kaiqi also entered the Demons'' Valley shortly after..
