Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2297: Chapter 2298: The Third Trial Begins (First Update)

Somehow, Sima Chongzhao felt the cheering sound was so jarring that his temples throbbed incessantly.

"Humph! This is just the beginning; it’s far from completion of the martial trial. Be careful, your cheers might turn into screams soon!" Sima Chongzhao said acidly.

However, Yue Qinghuan and others paid him no attention at all; all their focus was drawn to the progress bar on the light screen.

Because at that moment, the three progress bars ranked lowest suddenly turned from orange to gray, followed by a cold and awe-inspiring voice ringing out.

"Mei Family, Cao Family, Lu Family, eliminated!"

With those words, a flash of brilliance was seen on the martial field outside the hall, and the three teams from the Mei Family, Cao Family, and Lu Family appeared in the field.

They all looked disheveled, and the leading Commander-in-Chief looked particularly sullen and embarrassed, clearly not expecting to be eliminated.

There was also a commotion in the hall.

Because never had such a situation occurred in past martial trials; even the most trailing progress could eventually complete the trial.

How could they be eliminated halfway like this!

Someone couldn’t help but sigh, "This is the difference between intermediate level martial trials and elementary level ones!"

"All participants must fight bravely; any slackness could lead to ruthless elimination! Unlike before, this is the real Bing Family Martial Conference now!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Including the heads of the eliminated three families, all bowed their heads, displaying a sense of shame.

Having lived in peace for too long, they’ve lost their spirit of determination, wallowing in the glory left by their ancestors.

This is the reason for the decline of the Bing Family over time.

It was not until today that this martial conference gave many people a loud slap and made them wake up.

Just as everyone in the hall was lost in thought, Xue An led the Yue Clan soldiers across the ropeway, successfully reaching the third trial.

In front of them was an endless wilderness and dense forest.

Stark mountains, gurgling streams, and the scenery was delightful, devoid of the deadly atmosphere of the previous rounds.

Yet Xue An didn’t feel relaxed because as soon as he entered the third trial, a prompt sounded in his heart.

"The third trial officially starts; you must find scattered supplies in this wilderness within a day!"

The prompt was simple, but the information contained within was rich.

Because at first glance, it seemed quite straightforward, merely asking you to find scattered supplies.

But Xue An sensed something different.

Why find supplies? What to do after finding them?

Would there be subsequent battles?

If that’s the case, finding the supplies early would grant a huge advantage in the upcoming battles.

These thoughts flashed rapidly through Xue An’s mind, prompting him to quickly devise a plan.

"Split into three teams, disperse like a fan to search for anything suspicious. Stay and guard the find, no mistakes allowed!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers thunderously agreed and quickly split into three teams, each led by their most capable squad leader, and began delving into the dense forest.

Just as Xue An and his group entered the forest, yet another team arrived.

The leader was a tall, valiant-looking woman, precisely Gu Wangya.

Born with an excellent sense of direction, she could vaguely sense others’ positions, making the second trial’s travel extremely easy for her.

However, despite this, she still lost to the Yue Clan.

This filled her heart with astonishment and defiance.

Despite doing her utmost to travel, why did she still lose?

But upon reaching the third trial, Gu Wangya quickly cast out these distracting thoughts.

As she too heard an identical prompt.

Wise as she is, she immediately grasped the key points, and thus promptly ordered.

"Disperse quickly to search for supplies in the dense forest!"

"Yes!"

This brigade of female warriors responded in unison, then plunged into the forest as well.

Next, the Long Family and Sima Family arrived almost simultaneously, exchanged a glance, and then entered the forest without further ado.

Now was truly a moment of urgency; no one had the leisure to bother about the other.

Quickly, nearly all the remaining nine family soldiers arrived, except Zhongli Wuwang leading the Zhongli Family, who arrived last.

After all, relying on the guidance of that small wooden stick, the Zhongli Family took quite a few detours along the way.

Upon seeing this vast wilderness, Zhongli Wuwang sighed helplessly.

"Oh god, more traveling? I hate traveling!"

Nonetheless, understanding the importance of this trial, he immediately ordered his men to split up and proceed into the forest.

In no time, the vast wilderness and dense forest hosted soldiers from nine families.

But at this moment, the vegetation on the mountain suddenly started growing crazily.

Originally tall trees shot up rapidly, reaching the clouds in the blink of an eye, while their trunks gleamed with a metallic sheen.

The hills and rivers underwent drastic transformations; shrubs became rampant, grass blades grew incredibly sharp, exuding terrifying pressure.

These changes were, naturally, first perceived by the soldiers traversing within.

But before they could feel perplexed, that cold voice rang in everyone’s mind instantly.

"Trial upgrade: forest enters hostile mode now, allowing mutual attacks, and eliminated fallen will drop supplies randomly!"

This voice made the commanders of the nine families tremble and then showed great gravity on their faces.

For this simple sentence suggested an increase in difficulty by hundreds or thousands of times.

Especially allowing mutual attacks with random supply drops made every commander feel a chill down their spine.

"Immediately enter defensive mode, simultaneously scan the environment, preventing alarming others!" the Long Family commander promptly ordered.

The other family commanders scattered all around did likewise.

And being deep in the forest, Xue An initially showed surprise upon hearing the prompt, then with a subtle grin of amusement.

"Interesting, why does this trial feel increasingly like a game?"

He said, not turning back, directly commanding with his Divine Sense.

"Everyone, pay attention, we are now in free action mode. Remember the guerrilla tactics I taught you, and then... commence the hunt!"

Upon mentioning the word "hunt," a sharp glint of killing intent flashed in Xue An’s eyes.

The soldiers of the Yue Clan, already camouflaged in the forest, nodded in unison and then silently vanished into the dark, disappearing from sight.
