That’s it?Hee passed just like that? No one assessed by He Xiaosi had passed before, and today he decides to pass someone for such a flimsy reason? Cielo’s jaw dropped. She recalled how He Xiaosi had attacked her earlier on—his murderous aura, the destructive force of the suppression her set upon her. The ferocity and uncalled-for nature of He Xiaosi’s actions as an examiner could very well make someone without strong willpower decide to stop cultivating altogether. He Xiaosi was clearly not a good person. He had no scruples with behaving in such a dangerous manner at all. Had he never thought of the aftermath of his actions? Did he not have to consider the consequences if he happened to provoke a candidate with an illustrious background? What would happen then? What exactly was this man’s whole deal? What on earth did he have up his sleeve that he could act so pompous without care? Endless questions ran

Tomorrow was the day they would enter the Trinity College. These young children were so excited that they found it difficult to sleep. Velcia and Cielo met up right after the second assessment. Now, all they had to do was to wait. They were not the only ones waiting to be guided where the ‘real’ Trinity College was located.Along the way, the youths formed cliques. Some set up a tent since the place was a vast meadow. While the others were setting up for a bonfire. It was a lively bunch of people, filled with vigor of a youth and full of hopes for their future.Cielo and Velicia sat not too far away from these group of youths. They did not want to join for they wanted to keep low profile as possible. But things were not as they hoped it would be, especially when one of them was dubbed as He Xiaosi’s student and the other was a woman in a wheelchair.The moment they sat down, they became the center of everyone’s attention. Though no one approached them, occasional glances followed by m

The crowd did not notice that figure riding so arrogantly in their midst. At the moment, every one of them was miserably thinking only of their destination—the sole thought of which caused their scalps to go numb.Cielo was the fastest. Standing upon that heavy sword, he was also the most agile of the bunch. After receiving instructions from the tutor, he had gone first and flew down the mountain upon which the border of the Trinity College was perched, gliding towards that green forest.The endless sea of trees spanned across the horizon, towering trunks spreading out thick leaf-covered branches overlapping each other to form a uniformly dense forest.This was an expansive forest, extending from the foot of Trinity College’s mountain all the way to the Valley of No Return in the distance. At this instant, the mountain range was bathed in a strange dark gleam under the sunlight, contrasting sharply with the jade-green forest. It was as if a hideous bloody wound had been carved out on

Cielo shrugged slightly. “I’ll go find something to eat.” He walked into the forest without waiting for the boys’ replies.The three youths looked at Cielo who was “bearing hardship without complaint” and were almost moved to tears. Each of them secretly vowed not to make any trouble for Cielo. Even in the upcoming competition for the armbands, they would protect Cielo and ensure his safety.After they had eaten another batch of game meat that Cielo had caught, they were even more grateful to him.Unfortunately… The wild beasts that they had just avoided now swarmed over them again.The three youths were completely exhausted and had no strength to fight on. Shrieking and howling, they took to their heels and fled.Cielo’s slender figure nimbly navigated the tangled tree branches. He leaped from tree to tree, his hands behind his back. When he looked at the team of three foolish boys who were being miserably pursued, his smile was especially brilliant.Rito, who was mostly sleeping dur

“Watch and wait?” There was a knot lodged between James’ brows as he stared at Cielo.Cielo glanced at him and tilted his chin towards another patch of forest by the lake. “Look who’s there.”James looked in the direction that Cielo had shown. What he saw nearly made his eyes drop out of his head.“What the fuck is Christopher doing there?”A few heads faintly emerged from that patch of forest. Cielo and the others could only see them because they were on higher ground.“Why are they still here?” James’s face was perplexed. “Haven’t we taken their armbands already?”The tutor said that they would eliminate the teams that lost. Christopher and his companions should have left the forest several days ago. So why were they here now?Rito rolled his eyes at the back of Cielo’s consciousness.Cielo scoffed as well for these fellows' naivety. “The battle simulation rules are that the ones who have lost their armbands will be considered losers. But… the tutor did not say that they could not r
