Chapter 66: Rest 1

  However, facts are often unexpected. The first stage is not difficult, but it makes everyone understand that the first stage is actually crucial and will affect everyone's results and subsequent results.

  "By the way, none of your family members or servants are allowed to enter, if you need to bring something, bring it yourself!"

  Sometimes, in such large-scale trials, family members can enter, but the role of family members is only to serve their masters and cannot help them. If they violate this rule, they will be disqualified.

  "It's okay, I don't need it anymore!!"

  Some people proudly said that they entered the entrance lightly, and none of the things on the family members' bodies were taken, possibly because they thought it was a burden.

  "Give it to me!!"

  The four princes and others fell silent for a moment, they chose to bring some food and drinks and necessities for the outdoors, although they thought it would be done quickly, but no one dared to confirm whether there would be any accidents, bringing some can prevent unexpected situations.

  "None of you want it? Then give it to me, I think I need it!!"

  The big sister came to the front of those family members, took a backpack, and then packed some food and drink into it. She did this because she saw that Lonely Star had prepared such a package and was carrying it on her back.

  She thought for a moment and felt that if she was hungry herself, it would be troublesome, so it's better to bring some just in case!

  Nangong Suzixin and others, under the lead of the eldest miss, also took some food backpacks. These were not all prepared by those family servants, but many were prepared by Lin Guan, who thought it was better to be safe than sorry.

  Afterwards, many people felt that having a backup plan was really excessive, and at the time they all wanted to give Lin a big hug.

  It wasn't until afterwards that everyone realized the first stage was actually this long. The first person to come out spent a full four days, and the longest person still hadn't emerged after all that time. However, seven days was the limit, and anyone who didn't emerge from the first stage within those seven days would be eliminated.

  And if the people inside can't hold on any longer, if it doesn't end soon, they will starve to death! Who told them not to bring food in?!

  In the first stage of the area, there is basically no food at all, and what can be found is not much. From the beginning, this place was destined to be a wilderness survival place under extremely harsh conditions. Therefore, if people did not bring food in, the first stage would be spent starving.

  They were later scolded by the strange examiner for not making things clear, causing them to lose out, but the examiner's response left them speechless. Surviving in the wilderness without bringing food is foolish behavior, you were allowed to bring it from the start, it was your own fault for not bringing it!!!

  Of course, if it's just wilderness survival, these people will also be able to hold on, but the first stage is not just that. In the middle, several routes are specified, and you can choose one of them.

  And each route will have extreme situations, such as conquering cliffs, climbing up from the bottom of steep cliffs; for example, crossing rope bridges, from the deep and bottomless canyons above, a thin iron chain, you must pass through; for example, passing through turbulent currents, you need to go upstream; and also, for example, mechanical traps...

  Once the route is set, you can't change it. A slight change is equivalent to giving up!!

  There are many things to consider here, such as agility, arm strength, waist strength, endurance, and brain power, etc. This is a big test!!

  But either way, it's very physically demanding, and if you don't replenish your energy with food, it will definitely be a tragedy!

  No matter which route, it's not easy. Along the way, you'll be stripped of your skin, if not dead. This is not just a scolding, but who set this up? This isn't a test, it's buying people's lives!!

  "What's going on? Why is this different from the blueprint in my hand? This route of mine, clearly didn't have this thing in front of me!!"

  The fourth prince and Li Yuan led the princess and county lord as they walked, only to discover that the road ahead had completely changed. He had originally chosen a slightly simpler route, but now it seemed there was no simple part, still just as difficult, with many things that shouldn't be there.

  Of course, for their strength, this is nothing, although a bit hard and laborious, but still can pass easily.

  On the fifth day, they passed this long first stage, and only then did they discover that the area of this first stage was not very large, but rather they had been circling around inside.

  Although they were a bit resentful of the designer, they couldn't help but admire how this person could put thousands of people in such an area and yet have them all separate trials, with even fewer chances of meeting each other, and the route design was also perfect, at least their experience was perfect.

  This route almost tested everyone's strength and eliminated some unqualified people, and in this way, no one was injured.

  The fourth prince this time looks like he's really seen who designed it, and such a design can already be compared to the final design held in the Great Tang Empire, and the Great Tang Empire is the top level of the entire Longmen Competition.

  And afterwards, the fourth prince discovered something ——

  "The draft in my hand has changed some things and it's amazing that it can achieve such an effect!"

  The blueprint in the fourth prince's hand was real, but later some things were changed temporarily. It only needs to break and reconnect a few lines, just do some work, and it can be achieved in less than a few days.

  After the four princes and others passed the first stage, the examiner led them to a resting place where there was a newly built mountain villa that could accommodate several hundred people, specially prepared for this Dragon Gate Competition.

  This is where everyone rested before the second stage began. The second stage naturally had to go in together, otherwise the competitiveness of the people in front would be a bit too small.

  At this time, the four princes and others all thought they should be the first team, too lazy to even ask, this is their pride and self-confidence!!

  "Mo Yu, stop right there! Today I won't let you kneel down and sing for me, sister will not forgive you!!"

  "Come on, you think you're tough? Don't think that just because you're a bit stronger than me, you can bully me! Push me too far and I'll bite back!!"

  "Hmm, you're a dog person!!"

  "Fart, sister is a tiger!!"

  “……”

  When the big sister and Nangong Suzi were chasing each other, appearing in front of the Fourth Prince and others, the Fourth Prince and others were stunned. The scene before their eyes told them that they were absolutely not the first.

  Looking at these two people in front of me with such spirit, they must have been here for a while and had enough rest!

  The current four princes and others are more or less physically exhausted, the physical consumption on this road is very large, especially the last few, which are the key points.

  "Blazing Flame Sword Style—Inferno!!"

  "Mo Family Swordsmanship - Mo Defends the Established Rules!!"

  While everyone was still in shock, the two men's battle quietly escalated. Nangong Suzhen's Li Huo Sword Technique was a major sword technique of the Nangong family, with immense power. If combined with the Chi Huo Shen Gong, its power would be even more extraordinary.

  Nangong Suzhen cultivated the Scarlet Flame Divine Art, and her Scarlet Flame Divine Art would not have side effects like Nangong Jingming's. She had already mastered the Scarlet Flame Divine Art, and with her innate fire-attribute physique, cultivating this art was like a fish in water.

  With a strong sword energy, rushing towards Mo Yu!

  If it were in the past, Mo Yu could only dodge, but now she is different. She used a defensive sword technique from the Mo Family Sword Technique, although it was still the Mo Family Sword Technique, there had been changes within, and she had her own understanding.

  Under this move "Ink Guards the Old Rule", Nan Gong Su Xin's "Blazing Flame" was diverted, and all of it was directed to one side!

  On the other hand, it was quite unfortunate that it just so happened to be right next to the Fourth Prince and his entourage. Although it only struck the ground, it still kicked up a large cloud of dust, which then flew towards the Fourth Prince and his group.

  Normally, they would have dodged easily, but at this time, their physical strength had been almost exhausted, and although their reaction nerves were still okay, their reaction ability was poor. They moved backwards, but the dust had already stuck to their bodies.

  As a result, the four princes and others were all discredited, which made these noble people change their faces greatly, especially the fourth prince, whose eyes seemed to be murderous.

  The two people who caused this result did not stop there, and continued to attack and defend each other with rapid speed, exchanging more than a dozen moves in an instant.

  It has to be said that both women are very powerful, and although the older sister is slightly weaker than Nangong Suixin, it's not easy for Nangong Suixin to take down the older sister either.

  In general, such situations would last for more than half a time unit before victory or defeat could be determined!!

  This situation also surprised Nan Gong Su Xin, as she had previously thought that she could settle the matter with Da Xiaojie within ten minutes, even if it was a slow process.

  Now, the young lady can actually walk for half an hour under her own power. If it weren't for her insufficient breath, she might have been able to last a bit longer.

  From this point on, Nangong Suzhen knew that her swordsmanship might not necessarily be able to defeat Dajie steadily. Dajie's swordsmanship seemed to have improved suddenly and greatly, a change that could be described as "after three days, one would gaze at each other with new eyes".

  Of course, the big sister also said that this is because she has realized it, which makes Nan Gong Su very envious. Realizing something is a matter of chance and not everyone can achieve it. Some people may be extremely talented but may never have realized anything in their lifetime.

  This has nothing to do with talent, but rather with a person's insight. As for insight, it is a very mysterious thing!!
