Only an hour had passed, and the assessment was already seventy to eighty percent complete. Although the three Spirit Masters had evaluated over a hundred people, their expressions showed no sign of fatigue. In fact, they even looked excited when encountering occasionally high-talented youths.
This principle is like the joy of a talent scout discovering a fine horse, a special kind of pleasure within.
But just as the five people were about to take a step, one of the Spirit Masters, who had maintained a gentle smile all along, suddenly made a sound that caught everyone's attention!
"Five... Five-star Beast Master?"
"What?"
Siger Yun, who had always harbored dissatisfaction, could barely suppress his inner shock even when Su Chen was in the limelight. But this time, he was the first to cry out!
All five turned around simultaneously and saw the three Spirit Masters had stopped their assessment, staring blankly at the handsome young man in front of them.
Su Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned pale!
It seemed as if through the man's casual attire, he saw his front. It was a face that confused and disbelieved him!
"Du Ziteng?"
He appeared dazed, murmuring to himself.
"Du Ziteng? The young man we met at the Jin Shili Inn?"
Siger Meiruo nearly gasped and covered her mouth.
Su Chen solemnly nodded.
Sure enough, the young man shrugged indifferently, then turned around with feigned nonchalance. He smiled at an extraordinarily beautiful woman in tight black clothing not far away, saying, "Miss Biluo, did you see? The tall and handsome me didn't disappoint you, right?"
Everyone: "..."
"It really is him..."
Siger Meiruo whispered, looking thoughtfully at Du Ziteng.
Su Chen was silent for a long time before slowly turning away, but his back was no longer as upright as before.
Not far away, Du Ziteng glanced unintentionally from the corner of his eye but quickly retracted it. The Biluo Immortal in black tight clothing watched him with a smiling, appreciative gaze.
After waiting for over another hour, the entrance finally opened. Everyone lined up in two rows, and under the guidance of two commanders, they entered the Forest of Death one by one.
After entering the Forest of Death, it was truly astonishingly large inside.
Not only were towering trees everywhere, but the crisscrossing vines and branches created a canopy over the Forest of Death, weaving the sky into an impenetrable net. The forest was filled with strange flowers and herbs, and peculiar animals occasionally dashed by.
Even though those attending the special training were all Beast Cultivators, most still had the mindset of children. Seeing such a beautiful and wondrous scene, they couldn't help but display expressions of yearning on their faces.
After the two commanders reiterated some points to be mindful of, they left the Forest of Death. Over one hundred and fifty people, more than thirty teams, were gathered in the incredibly vast area within the forest. After some discussion, over a dozen teams headed deeper into the forest. The remaining teams stayed to observe the surroundings or climbed up the tall trees, moving through the canopy like monkeys.
Su Chen's team was among those that remained in place. Siger Meiruo was not in a hurry after observing where most of the teams went.
"Aren't we leaving?"
Su Chen asked.
"Let's wait a bit longer and see which direction those three teams choose."
Siger Meiruo said indifferently, looking in the direction of the Trey Clan's team.
Following her gaze, Su Chen indeed saw the team Trebo was in also remained still, observing other teams. Puzzled, he asked, "Why wait until the end to leave?"
"Because only by waiting until the end can we see which direction the most teams head toward. We should choose the direction with the fewest people, which reduces the chance of encountering strong foes."
Siger Meiruo analyzed.
Su Chen nodded slightly, but then heard Siger Yun sneer, "You don't even understand such basic knowledge? And you call yourself a four-star Beast Warrior."
"Isn't that right, just a flashy façade with no substance."
Sigeru scoffed contemptuously, looking down lazily at the ground.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed, but when he saw Siger Meiruo's restraining gaze, he suppressed his slight anger. He cast a cold glance at the two and then turned away.
"Alright, we'll follow the Trey Clan's team."
Siger Meiruo suddenly said, leading the four others to slowly follow the Trey Clan's team into the dense, wooded forest...
All the way, Su Chen seemed not to find anything terrifying in this renowned forest. Yes, the widely rumored Forest of Death resembled an earthly paradise, filled with pictures of beauty far from the mundane world.
Lush green trees, clean and flat paths, bird-song and fragrant flowers in the woods, and fresh, clean air. All of this seemed entirely disconnected from words like bloody and terrifying. Su Chen was puzzled along the way, bewildered by this place's abnormal tranquility.
Finally, when the sun set, they lost track of the Trey Clan's team and arrived in a vast forest shrouded in mist. The humidity in this forest was several times greater than before. Above their heads, the vines and branches no longer formed a web, allowing some rare light to penetrate. But shrouded in mist, the light was no longer vivid, instead imparting a somber atmosphere. The area was deathly silent, without any sounds of animals. There was no birdsong, nor was there fragrance of flowers, and the air, though cool, brought with it a sense of oppression.
