"By the way, where is Xiaohu? He hasn't come back yet?"
After chatting with Li Feng for a while, Su Mo looked around and did not see Niu Xiaohu.
"No!"
Li Feng shook his head, frowned and asked, "Is nothing going to happen?"
Su Mo was silent, Niu Xiaohu was not very strong, and he was really worried about what might happen to him.
Just when the two of them were worried about Niu Xiaohu, a sturdy figure rushed out from the forest, it was Niu Xiaohu.
Niu Xiaohu's face looked a little tired, but his eyes were extremely shining and full of excitement.
"The ninth level of Qi training!"
Su Mo was surprised to see that Niu Xiaohu's aura fluctuated quite strongly, stirring up the airflow all over his body. It was obvious that he had just broken through the realm and was still unable to control his cultivation very well.
"Senior Brother Su Mo, Senior Brother Li Feng, I'm back!"
Niu Xiaohu came to the two of them and said with a smile.
"Xiaohu, that's good! In just three days, you have already broken through the realm of cultivation."
Su Mo smiled lightly.
"Hey, on the way back, I got a spiritual grass by chance, and I just made a breakthrough in cultivation!"
Niu Xiaohu smiled naively, and then saw the pale Li Feng and said in shock: "Senior Brother Li Feng, you are... you are injured!"
"Haha, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"
Li Feng smiled brightly, not wanting to lose face in front of Niu Xiaohu.
"That's good!"
Niu Xiaohu nodded.
The three chatted for a while, and a large number of trial disciples gradually returned.
Yan Qi, Feng Zilan and others returned together. As soon as they walked out of the forest, everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Mo. Their faces were gloomy and scary, and they were gnashing their teeth, wishing to eat Su Mo alive.
The other disciples were all confused when they saw the expressions on their faces.
"Senior Brother Su Mo, Senior Brother Li Feng, Yan Qi and the others seemed to have been staring at me just now!"
Niu Xiaohu stood next to Su Mo, scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face, and said doubtfully: "Looking at their expressions, it seems that they have a deep hatred for me. I have never offended them!"
"Haha, Xiaohu, you must have read it wrong! Don't pay attention to them."
Su Mo smiled lightly and said, Yan Qi and others hated him, not Niu Xiaohu.
Li Feng frowned. He had clearly felt the murderous intent in the eyes of Yan Qi and others just now.
Li Feng glanced at Su Mo and looked thoughtful.
After another half an hour, almost all the trial disciples came back, and no one came out of the forest again.
"Elder Wang, how many disciples have returned in total?"
Elder Wei looked around and asked the green-robed elder beside him.
"Returning to Elder Wei, the total number of trial disciples is 500. There are 447 people who have returned, and 53 people are missing."
The green-robed elder scanned the whole place with his mind, took stock, and replied respectfully.
"The loss is one-tenth, almost the same as in previous years!"
Elder Wei nodded, with an indifferent expression, not the slightest bit moved by the loss of more than fifty disciples.
Fengling Island needs elites, not mediocre people. If these people die, they will die, which is insignificant.
Even such a simple trial task would fail, which only proves the incompetence of these disciples.
"Okay, it's time, let's get ready to return to Fengling Island!"
Elder Wei said again, immediately preparing to make an announcement.
"Elder Wei, it seems that Wu Kui has not returned, and the other two disciples from the Lingwu Realm have not returned either."
The elder with a Chinese character suddenly spoke and said doubtfully.
"oh?"
When Elder Wei heard this, he checked the whole place and found that he did not see Wu Kui and the others, and immediately frowned.
"With the strength of the three of them, it is unlikely that they will be damaged on Qingyuan Island. Let's wait for another stick of incense. If they haven't come back yet, we will leave."
Elder Wei pondered for a moment and said.
If it were an ordinary new disciple, it would be absolutely impossible for Elder Wei to make such a decision. An ordinary new disciple would not have the qualifications to make so many elders wait.
However, Wu Kui is different. A genius with an eighth-level human-level martial spirit will definitely join the inner sect in the future, and may become a core disciple in the future.
It can be said that when a genius of the eighth-level human level Wu Kui fully matures in the future, he or she can become an outer sect elder with the lowest achievement.
That's why Elder Wei pays so much attention to it.
Time passes quickly, and the time of a stick of incense passes quickly.
"Elder Liu and Elder Zhao, you go to the island to search. The others will follow me back to the sect first."
Elder Wei gave an instruction, then turned around and announced: "So the disciples must gather, board the ship, and return to Fengling Island."
Immediately, the disciples boarded the warship again and returned the same way.
Near evening, everyone returned to Fengling Island and gathered in the square again.
In the square, there is a wooden table ten meters long and five meters wide, and a dozen elders who preside over the trial are sitting behind the table.
"Okay! Now, the disciples who think they can get a ranking will step forward one by one and take out the demon cores they obtained."
Elder Wei sat in the center and shouted loudly.
At this time, Elder Wei kept looking at all the disciples, his eyes burning with doubts and surprises.
Elder Zhao and Elder Liu have returned.
It didn't take the two elders long to find Wu Kui. Because the two elders were powerful and could fly in the air, they returned to the sect one step ahead of the disciples who took the boat.
Wu Kui was found, but he had turned into a corpse with his head chopped off.
Two elders found the bodies of Wu Kui and another Lingwu realm disciple in the cave leading to the demon cave.
In addition, they also found many corpses in the monster cave, but the corpses in the monster cave had been eaten by monster insects, leaving only the bones.
The corpses in the monster cave may have been damaged by monster insects, but Wu Kui and Wu Kui were obviously killed by someone with a sword.
Elder Wei couldn't understand who among the new disciples could kill Wu Kui and the other two.
Could it be Luo Qianfan?
Or is it Yan Qi? Cao Yuan?
Or is there someone else?
Elder Wei was not angry because Wu Kui was killed. On the contrary, he was more curious about the person who could kill Wu Kui and the others.
This person, who could kill Wu Kui and two other geniuses in the Spiritual Martial Realm, must be a more talented person than the two of them.
Since this person has such strength, his ranking in the trial must be high, and his identity will naturally be revealed by then.
Elder Wei had some expectations in his heart.
Following Elder Wei's words, the new disciples stepped forward one after another and took out the demon cores they had hunted.
Then, the elders rated them based on the level and number of demon cores.
The number of demon cores obtained by the disciples varies. Some have dozens of demon cores, while others only have a few demon cores.
A first-level seven-level demon core is worth one point, a first-level eight-level demon core is worth two points, a first-level nine-level demon core is worth four points, and a second-level one-level demon core is worth eight points.
Soon, more than 200 people had already calculated their scores.
At this time, Cao Yuan, one of the five geniuses, walked up, waved his sleeves, and a bunch of demon cores appeared on the table.
"Oh my God! Senior Brother Cao Yuan actually obtained so many demon cores!"
"Awesome, with so many demon cores, Senior Brother Cao Yuan is likely to win the first place."
"That's not necessarily true. Several other Lingwu Realm geniuses are definitely not bad either."
As soon as Cao Yuan took out the demon core, there were bursts of exclamations and endless discussions around him.
At this moment, Cao Yuan saw a large number of demon cores in front of him, numbering close to three hundred.
Su Mo stood in the crowd with a look of surprise in his eyes. He had already snatched all of Cao Yuan's demon cores yesterday, and in just one day, this guy actually got so many more demon cores.
Su Mo didn't know that after Cao Yuan returned from the demon cave, he mobilized some of the people he had subjugated to hunt around, so he could obtain so many demon cores in one day.
The elders quickly counted Cao Yuan's demon cores, and Cao Yuan put away the demon cores and strode away.
Facing the surprised and envious expressions of everyone, Cao Yuan did not feel proud at all, but instead felt bitter in his heart.
Cao Yuan knew that even if he obtained nearly 300 demon cores, he would definitely miss the first place.
Turning to look at Su Mo in the crowd, Cao Yuan felt resentful in his heart. ***3***6***9***
