“I know an old student who has a strength of six-hundred pounds. He told me about it. However, this trial competition is a little dangerous. People like us who have just become martial artists haven’t received any notice.”

“I am very clear about the benefits of the fierce beast blood. My parents used a lot of it before and bought me a set of low-level fierce beast blood. I relied on that to become a martial artist.”

“Su Chen, your talent is better than mine. If you have the fierce beast blood, you might be able to become a martial artist! Do you want to form a team to participate?” Zhang Wenmei said with excitement.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, “Have you invited others?”

Zhang Wen nodded, “I’ve already invited eight martial artists, and they all agreed. Including you, we’ll have a total of ten people! After we enter, we will definitely become competition.”

Su Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected.

“I don’t really want to form a team.”

“Alright.” Zhang Wen didn’t force him.

He was only here to ask. He was fine with Su Chen’s refusal. 

Considering that Su Chen had just become a martial artist, it didn’t really matter if there was one more or one less person on their team.

However, what Zhang Wen hadn’t expected was Su Chen’s refusal to participate in the trial match.

The trial tournament was a very good opportunity!

Su Chen thought to himself.

Perhaps by relying on this training room, his strength would soar!

Su Chen found his teacher.

“You mean you want to participate in the trial tournament?” The teacher looked astonished.

“To participate in the trial tournament, it is best to have the strength of five-hundred pounds or more. It will be very dangerous entering.”

It wasn’t as if the teacher had never seen an academic like Su Chen before.

Upon deciding that his strength wasn’t too bad, he was sure that he wanted to participate in the trial tournament and try his luck.

There were differences in strength between the ferocious beasts. Some ferocious beasts were much stronger than the majority of martial artists.

An academic like Su Chen, who had just become a martial artist, wasn’t much stronger than an ordinary person. There was a high chance of death if he entered.

“Teacher, I have already formed a team. It should be fine if we have more people,” Su Chen Lied.

The teacher sighed and nodded.

“Fine, I won’t advise you anymore. This is your own matter. However, to enter the trial competition, you need to sign a life and death contract. If you were to die in there, it has nothing to do with our academy.”

Su Chen nodded, “Of course.”

He calmly signed the life and death contract.

“The trial tournament will be held in ten days. Come to the training grounds at eight in the morning. A teacher will bring you there.”

“Alright!”

After leaving, Su Chen’s mood improved.

In the next ten days, he would have to redouble his efforts to raise his cultivation.

Although he was still very confident in himself, his strength was only equal to three-hundred pounds, after all, so he had to be careful.

Su Chen planned to make sufficient preparations and buy all the weapons and equipment.

In this era, weapons were not regulated and could be carried around.

Weapons were divided into levels. Weapons made of ordinary steel were called ordinary weapons, while weapons made of vitality materials were called essence weapons.

These essence weapons could be infused with vitality to further enhance their power.

However, since Su Chen could not afford them, he could not buy them.

He made a trip to the weapons store and bought a steel knife, a bow, and some arrows.

This purchase cost him a year’s living expenses.

However, Su Chen felt that it was worth it.

Making preparations in advance would be more efficient and he would be safer in the trial competition.

Ten days passed quickly.

Su Chen didn’t tell her sister about this because he was afraid that she would be worried.

He mentioned that he was going to participate in a school activity before he left.

…

When Su Chen arrived, he found that there were more than a hundred people already there.

The total number of people in the trial must have exceeded at least 150!

“Su Chen, why are you here?” Zhang Wen asked in astonishment.

“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t come. I just didn’t want to form a team.” Su Chen smiled.

“You must have found an expert!”

Zhang Wen became envious. He assumed that Su Chen must have formed a team with an expert, which explained why he hadn’t been willing to join them.

Su Chen smiled and didn’t try to explain.

After another half an hour, everyone had arrived. There was now a total of 180 people.

The vast majority of the participants all had second-rate talents. Some of them weren’t young.

It was precisely because of this that they were willing to give it their all.

If they obtained the fierce beast blood, they might have a chance to soar to the skies.

There were very few young people like Su Chen. Because the time they had spent cultivating was short, their strength was relatively weak.

A teacher stood at the front of the crowd.

There were now 180 people, but he knew that after the trial, there would be quite a number of people who would not return.

“Since everyone is here, let’s begin.”

The teacher led the teams into a bus.

Many students looked surprised. In the apocalyptic era, cars were a rare sight. 

Cars from a hundred years ago could no longer be used.

“This is a newly developed car, powered by a force. The Great Beginning Base has just obtained the means to use this technology. After becoming a martial artist, you can buy one like this. You will likely see these in the future,” the teacher explained.

The students felt enlightened.

They had not expected to see such high technology in the Great Beginning Base.
