The moment the word "start" was announced, everyone who was taking the test rushed madly toward the entrance of the cave.

The cave was strange. The cave entrance was only two meters in size, but the tens of thousands of people here all charged in that direction at the same time. It didn't feel crowded at all, like a bottomless abyss.

Tang Lichuan stood in the distance and watched for a moment, when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze land on his body. Following the direction of the gaze, he saw Gu Chengfeng staring at him with a cold expression.

Seeing that Tang Lichuan was looking over, Gu Chengfeng extended his pinky provocatively towards him and pointed towards the cave, indicating that their grudge should be resolved during the battle.

In the face of provocation, Tang Lichuan did not allow himself to be outdone. He wiped his neck with a cold smile on his face and then pointed at the ground under his feet to make another move. He told the other party that not only would their enmity be resolved during the battle, but also that they would not give up!

If the battle was unable to cause harm to others, even if Gu Chengfeng was defeated, it would only result in kicking him out of the competition. It would not be able to eliminate the enmity in Tang Lichuan's heart, so after the battle, the enmity would not end either.

Seeing that Tang Lichuan was not willing to let go of the hatred so easily, Gu Chengfeng's pupils could not help but constrict. With a straight face, he retracted his gaze and under the escort of the Four Seas Alliance crowd, walked towards the entrance.

Tang Lichuan waited for a long time, and finally it was his turn to enter. He seriously sized up the blue light barrier in front of the cave, but was unable to find any clues.

After entering the blue light curtain, Tang Lichuan felt a warm feeling enveloping his heart, and when he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him was a complete blank. He could not see anyone around him, nor could he see anything else.

While hesitating, an old voice rang in his ears: "The first stage of the joint battle, each one will survive for three days according to their own ability. Three days later, the second stage will open!"

With that said, the surrounding white scenery suddenly distorted, as if the morning sun had dispersed the fog. In this whiteness, countless trees, flowers, plants, valleys, and rivers unceasingly emerged out of thin air, forming a massive real world in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, Tang Lichuan lowered his head to look, he saw that a translucent, almost illusory Treasure Bag had appeared on his waist, and a noun for no reason jumped out from his head — — Battling Treasure Bag!

When he compared the Treasure Bag that he was carrying with him with this object, one was a real body while the other was a mirage, the difference was extremely obvious. However, the "Battle Spirit" seemed like a mirage that could be used like an actual object, which confused Tang Lichuan quite a bit.

"Stone-breaking Kick!" While he was deep in thought, the surrounding world had already been completed. A loud shout suddenly came from above his head, and a person at the second level of Opening Spirit Stage rushed out from a large tree to the side, attacking immediately, without any discussion.

"Thunderbolt Arrow!" Tang Lichuan casually released a ray of light and struck the man in the chest. The light gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared under the protection of the blue light screen.

"There won't be any deaths in the competition here. That way, I'll be able to act without any qualms. Only those who have survived for three days will be able to enter the second stage. Are all the people in front of me my eyes my enemies …" Muttering to himself, Tang Lichuan turned around and walked towards the distant prairie.

The world constructed within this nothingness was not much different from the real world. The terrain was completely a patchwork of clear valleys and Myriad Herbs Forest. Not only were the topography and topography similar, even the Savage Beast s that lived within were the same.

"Five Fingers Consecutive!" He unleashed five Thunderbolt Arrow s to kill the horned beast in front of him. After the beast gradually disappeared into nothingness, a thumb-sized beast core was left on the ground!

This beast core was exactly the same as the one Tang Lichuan had seen before, but its shape was similar to the "teamwork Treasure Bag", looking like an illusion.

"This is the battle spoils that can be collected. You can only survive until the second stage before you take it. If you are defeated in the first stage, you will lose more than 80% of your spoils." Just then, a person walked out from a nearby patch of grass. His cultivation was at the third level of Opening Spirit Stage, and when he saw Tang Lichuan take the beast core, he took the initiative to explain.

"Are you not afraid that I would attack you when you arrogantly stood in front of me? You have to know, the name of this team battle is limited, everyone is my competitor! Especially your esteemed self, who is at the third level of Opening Spirit Stage; Tang Lichuan threw the beast core in his hand into the fighting Treasure Bag, and stared at the man coldly.

"Brother, please do not misunderstand. My surname is Jiang Ming, and I am an unspecialized character without any allies or family. My goal was not to compete for the spots, but to gather more materials here!" I can collect materials here and at the same time, I can guarantee that there won't be any danger to my life. If I don't have a backer, I can only rely on my own low-level disciples. "Then you're too heartless!"

Although the person named Jiang Feng was at the third level of Opening Spirit Stage, compared to Gu Chengfeng and Yun Xiao Han, his strength was indeed not on the same level.

"Are you saying that other than the attacking Savage Beast, there are also spirit herbs to be collected?" Tang Lichuan's expression changed, if this place grew spirit grass like the Myriad Herbs Forest, with his current senses, he could take thousands of them within three days without a problem!

Collecting spirit herbs and beast cores might seem like a good thing, but the benefits are also for the talented disciples. There are a lot of Savage Beast s in the first two days of the competition, but the probability of obtaining beast cores after killing them is extremely low, and spirit herbs are even rarer. To wait until the last day to collect a large amount of them, one must first use the strength to survive past the third day!

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: "Since you want to let me go, then I will take my leave. I will find a place to hide until the third day and wait for the herbs to be refreshed before I come out and collect them. At that time, even if I am kicked out of the competition, I can still preserve 20% of my spoils of war!"

Jiang Feng saw that Tang Lichuan did not have any intention to attack him, so he happily patted his chest, and turned to leave. Before he left, he had told Tang Lichuan a piece of news, which was that "Battle Treasure Bag" could not hide the spoils of war, and would instead reveal how much he had obtained.

When there was nothing left, the Treasure Bag would be in an illusory state, and the more light one could obtain, the deeper the level one could reach. There were a total of five colors: white, yellow, blue, red and purple.

A battle was originally a test of the strength of the outer sect disciples, and by placing spirit herbs, beast cores and other cultivation resources at the test site, it was enough to arouse the fighting spirit of the disciples.

Not only would disciples with outstanding strength get many benefits, even people with average aptitude would use their brain to snatch some resources, which could also be considered as an increase in Profound Dragon Sect's strength.

In order to encourage everyone to participate and improve the quality of their disciples from the aspects of strength and strategy, Profound Dragon Sect had set a rule that even if they were to be eliminated, they would be able to keep twenty percent of their spoils of war, so that those who had put in effort yet still felt regretful that they would not gain nothing.

Looking at the man who was slowly walking further and further away, Tang Lichuan silently muttered: "There's actually such a thing? That's easy to do, as long as I stare at the glowing Treasure Bag and attack, I don't need to waste any more effort to find Spirit Grass Beast Cores! "
