By the way, where is Xiaohu? Has he not returned?”

After chatting for a while with Li Feng, Su Mo looked around but did not look at Niu Xiaohu.

“NO!”

Li Feng shook his head and asked with a frown, “Could something happen to him?”

Sumo fell silent. Niu Xiaohu's strength wasn't high, so she was very worried about him.

Just when they were worrying about Niu Xiaohu, a powerful figure rushed out from the forest. It was Niu Xiaohu.

Niu Xiaohu looked a little tired, but her eyes were very bright and full of excitement.

“Nature Cultivation Qi Lv 9!”

Su Mo was surprised. Niu Xiaohu's aura was extremely powerful and stirred the air around him. Clearly, he had just broken through to nature and could not control his cultivation well.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, Senior Brother Li Feng, I'm back!”

Niu Xiaohu came up to them and said with a smile.

“Xiaohu, not bad! It's only been three days, and you've broken through nature. “

Su Mo said with a smile.

“Hehe, on the way home, I was lucky to get the Spiritual Herb and just broke through nature!”

Niu Xiaohu smiled and then looked at Li Feng's pale face. He said in surprise, “Sister Li Feng, you .. you are injured!”

“Hehe, this is just a small wound. Not a big deal!”

Li Feng smiled brightly and did not want to lose face in front of Niu Xiaohu.

“That's great!”

Niu Xiaohu nodded.

The three chatted for a while, and a large number of trial testers gradually returned.

Yan Qi, Feng Zilan, and the others returned together. As soon as they exited the forest, they all stared at Su Mo with grim faces. They gritted their teeth and hoped to swallow Su Mo alive.

The other disciples looked at their expressions and did not know what was going on.

“Senior Brother Su Mo, Senior Brother Li Feng, Yan Qi and the others seemed to have just looked at me!”

Niu Xiaohu stood beside Su Mo and scratched her head with a puzzled expression. He said, “From their expressions, it seems that they have a deep hatred towards me. I didn't offend them!”

“Hehe, Xiaohu, you must be wrong! Don't pay attention to them. “

Su Mo said with a smile. Yan Qi and the others hated him, not Niu Xiaohu.

However, Li Feng frowned. He clearly sensed killing intent in the eyes of Yan Qi and the others.

Li Feng glanced at Su Mo while thinking.

After another hour, all the disciples had basically returned, and no one else had come out of the forest.

“Older Wang, how many disciples have returned?”

Elder Wei looked around and asked the green-robed elder beside him.

“Older Wei, of the 500 disciples who participated in the trial, only 447 returned. We are short of 53 people.”

The green-robed elder scanned the area with his Divine Sense and took an inventory before replying respectfully.

“Losing a tenth is almost the same as in previous years!”

Elder Wei nodded with an indifferent expression. He was completely unmoved by the loss of over fifty disciples.

All Gale Island needed was an elite, not a mediocre person. It doesn't matter if these people die.

Even such a simple trial mission had failed. This only proved the incompetence of these disciples.

“Well, time's up. Let's go back to Gale Island!”

Elder Wei said and was about to announce it.

“Elder Wei, it seems that Wu Kui and two other disciples of the Spiritual Martial Realm have not returned.”

The square-faced elder suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a daze.

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Elder Wei looked around and did not see Wu Kui and the other two disciples. He suddenly frowned.

“With their strength, there was no way they would be killed on Qingyuan Island. Let's wait another 30 minutes. If they don't come back then, we'll go.”

If it was an ordinary new disciple, Elder Wei would never have made such a decision. An ordinary new disciple was not qualified to make so many elders wait.

However, Wu Kui was different. He was a genius with a Martial Soul of the Rank 8 Human Class. He was bound to enter the inner gate and could even become a core disciple in the future.

It could be said that Wu Kui, a genius of the Ranked 8th Human Class, could at least become an outer elder in the future.

That was why Elder Wei paid close attention to him.

Time passed, and soon 30 minutes had passed.

“Older Liu and Elder Zhao, you two go looking on the island. All of you, follow me back to sect.”

Elder Wei ordered and then turned to announce, “The disciples, gathered and boarded the battleship. Let's go back to Gale.” Island

Then, the disciples boarded the battleship again and returned to the way they had come.

In the afternoon, they returned to Gale Island and gathered in the square again.

In the square, there was a wooden table with a length of 10 meters and a width of 5 meters. More than a dozen elders leading the trial were sitting behind the table.

“OK! Now, the disciples who thought they could get ranked, advanced and eliminated the Demon Core. “

Elder Wei sat in the middle and shouted loudly.

Right now, Elder Wei continued to look at all the disciples. His eyes shone with doubt and surprise.

Elder Zhao and Elder Liu have returned.

It didn't take long for the two elders to find Wu Kui. Since the two elders were strong and could fly, they returned to the sect earlier than the disciples who boarded the boat.

Wu Kui was found, but he had become a corpse, and his head had been decapitated.

The two elders found the bodies of Wu Kui and the other disciples in the Spiritual Martial Realm in the cave that led to the demon cave.

Moreover, they also found many corpses in the demon cave. However, the corpse had been eaten by the Demon Insects, leaving only white bones.

The bodies in the demon cave might have been eaten by the Demon Insects, but Wu Kui and the other disciples were clearly killed by the sword.

Elder Wei had no idea who among the new disciples could kill Wu Kui and the other disciples.

“Could it be Luo Qianfan?

Or Yanqi? Cao Yuan's?

Or someone else? “

Elder Wei was not angry because of Wu Kui's death. Instead, he was more curious about the person who could kill Wu Kui and the other disciples.

This person could kill Wu Kui and the other two geniuses in the Spiritual Martial Realm, so he was definitely more talented than them.

Since this person possessed such strength, his ranking in the trials should be high. His identity will naturally be revealed.

Elder Wei was looking forward to it.

Following Elder Wei's words, the new disciples advanced one by one and took out the Demon Core they had killed.

Then, the elders judged them according to the level and number of the Demon Core.

The number of Demon Nuclei each disciple obtained varied. Some had dozens of Demon Core, while others only had a few.

A Cla.s.s 7 Lv 1 Demon Core was worth one point, a Cla.s.s 8 Lv 1 Demon Core was worth two points, a Cla.s.s 9 Lv 1 Demon Core was worth four points, and a Cla.s.s 1 Lv 2 Demon Core was worth eight points.

Soon, over 200 people had calculated their scores.

At this moment, Cao Yuan, one of the five geniuses, came forward and waved his sleeve. A pile of Demon Core appeared on the table.

“Gosh! Senior Brother Cao Yuan obtained so many Demon Core! “

“Wow! With so many Demon Core, Senior Brother Cao Yuan will most likely win first place.”

“But of course. Other geniuses in the Spiritual Martial Realm were not bad either.”

As soon as Cao Yuan took out the Demon Core, there was an explosion of exclamations and discussions.

Right now, there was a pile of nearly 300 Demon Nuclei in front of Cao Yuan.

Standing amidst the crowd, Su Mo's eyes flashed in shock. Yesterday, he had robbed all of Cao Yuan's Demon Core. How could this fellow obtain so many Demon Core in just one day?

Su Mo did not know that after returning from the demon cave, Cao Yuan had deployed some of the people he had conquered to plunder everywhere. That was why he was able to obtain so many Demon Core in one day.

The elders quickly calculated Cao Yuan's Demon Core. Cao Yuan put them away and walked away.

Facing the shocked and envious gazes of the crowd, Cao Yuan did not feel proud at all. Instead, he felt bitter.

Cao Yuan knew that even though he obtained nearly 300 Demon Core, he would not win first place.
