Chapter 359: Forest Maze Training Ground (1)

"Isn't that Yun Lintian who is famous recently?" 

"Famous? Yeah, famous for being a coward. Hehe."

As Yun Lintian passed by, he could clearly hear mocking discussions among the students, but he couldn't care less about them.

However, it didn't mean people around Yun Lintian could endure it. Especially Yang Chen. He looked at the group of students coldly and said. "All of you should shut your mouth."

Yang Chen's aura was extremely sharp, causing the students to shudder. However, after discovering Yang Chen was only at the fifth level of Origin Profound Realm, they became confident again and even started to mock him.

"What is this? Trying to protect your master?"

"Haha. Where can I find such a loyal dog like this?"

Yang Chen was so angry and was about to make a move, but he was stopped by Yun Lintian. 

"They are not worthy of our attention." Yun Lintian said. His gaze swept over the students who were speaking earlier as though he wanted to remember their faces. Afterward, he walked straight to the Forest Maze entrance with his group.

Arriving before the stone gate, Yun Lintian glanced at Yang Chen and asked. "Are you sure you want to go in?" 

Yang Chen replied firmly. "Don't worry, Brother Yun. Although my injuries aren't fully recovering yet, going through this training ground shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, I heard there's no danger in this training ground."

Yun Lintian didn't insist further. After exchanging a few words with his group, Yun Lintian took out his student token and pressed it against a rectangle plate on the stone gate. In the next moment, the stone gate slowly opened, revealing a light blue spatial swirl behind it.

The entrance was similar to the mythical realm entrance Yun Lintian had seen before. However, this one, he could feel a steady stream of spatial elements flowing without any sign of collapsing halfway. Which meant this entrance was highly stable, and there shouldn't be any danger going through it.

Seeing this, Yun Lintian didn't hesitate to step forward, vanishing into the blue light swirl. Yang Chen and others were also quickly followed in.

After Yun Lintian's group entered, Wang Jue's figure slowly walked into the training ground area with a few people followed behind. His appearance immediately caused a commotion among the students. They were looking forward to seeing a good show.

"Did he just enter?" Wang Jue stopped his track and asked a male student nearby the entrance.

The male student, of course, knew who was 'he' Wang Jue was talking about. He hurriedly replied. "He had entered with his group earlier."

Wang Jue curled his lips and said to a masculine man with a giant broadsword beside him. "Look like we are going to have a great time soon."

The masculine man grinned evilly. His name was Chi Xiong, a talented youngster that chose to follow Wang Jue because the latter could give him the resources he needed. 

On the side, a seductive woman wearing a shoulder-revealed fiery red robe smiled charmingly. Her ample breast was attracted many young men around here, preventing them from looking elsewhere. She pursed her lips while fanning an exquisite jade fan in her hand and said. "I really want to see this person. To make Young Master Wang paying attention to him, he should be extraordinary, right?"

"Extraordinary? Hah, if he's truly extraordinary, as you said, he won't keep hiding like a street rat until now. I say, Li Na, are you sure you aren't fascinated by his appearance?" Behind them, a thin man with a weird symbol on his forehead sneered disdainfully. His name was Zhou Hang, a talented formation master under Wang Jue's wings. 

The seductive woman, Li Na, licked her lips and said. "Come to think of it. It might be so. Hehe."

Wang Jue waved his hand impatiently. "Don't underestimate him. He's more than what you think. Let's go." Following that, he quickly entered the Forest Maze training ground.

The other three glanced at each other and followed behind.

After the blue light faded from Yun Lintian's vision, he immediately found himself standing in a dense forest with countless towering ancient trees forming into a giant wall surrounding him. 

His first impression was this place didn't look like a forest but rather a fortress. However, he could see a few long pathways leading to the unknown when he looked closely. It was at this time he understood why this place was called Forest Maze.

Yun Lintian looked upward, but he didn't see the sky as it was completely blocked out by the trees. He started to wonder how Jiang Yingyue cleared this place within two days and five hours.

As Yun Lintian was about to use his Eyes of Heaven to check on it, the transmission jade on his waist was shining, and he quickly picked it up.

"Brother Yun, beware of Wang Jue's team. I just met one of them earlier." Bai Qingyi's voice rang out from the other side.

Yun Lintian frowned and asked. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Luckily, the maze had changed its pattern timely when I was about to fight with him." Bai Qingyi said with relief. The person he met earlier was Chi Xiong. He was certain this Chi Xiong wasn't ordinary, judging by his aura. He couldn't guarantee the outcome if the battle broke out.

"That's good… What do you mean? Changing the pattern?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

"The forest here will keep changing its pattern every five minutes. Right now, we are standing in the outermost circle. Brother Yun has to find a way to enter the second circle as fast as you can. When you reach there, the pattern changing will be slower. It will be on every ten minutes, and this will continue to increase as long as you enter the further circle." Bai Qingyi explained.

"I see." Yun Lintian looked around and saw the trees were actually moving all the time. It was just that he didn't notice before.
