Chapter 401: Strong Like A Forest
Under the anticipation of many, the day of the Heavenly Trial has finally arrived.
The arrival of this day made Li Qingqing finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, she regretted it after taking the medicine for the first time.
Although it felt good at the time, she was really tired afterwards.
What does it feel like to have both physical and spiritual strength completely drained? Anyway, she never wants to experience that feeling again in her lifetime.
Of course, Lu Yu's strength has greatly increased in these past few days, even more than the total increase in the previous few months.
After all, through dual cultivation, he has gained not only his own strength, but also additional strength.
It's like making money, where daily hard work earns you a salary, but dual cultivation earns you extra income. Currently, the amount of extra income far exceeds the salary.
In addition to Lu Yu's increase in strength, Li Qingqing's strength has also improved significantly.
In the past five days of madness, she has advanced two small realms and has already entered the late stage of Foundation Building.
She never dreamed of such a fast cultivation speed.
So, she is more delighted than worried about following Lu Yu.
On the day the Heavenly Trial began, almost all the disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall gathered in the central square of the Ten Thousand Stars City.
Looking down from the attic across the square, there were at least thousands of disciples who came to participate in this grand event.
After all, the Heavenly Trial is the most important event of the Greedy Wolf Hall. The achievements of the disciples in the trial will directly affect their future treatment.
Several elders have already taken their positions, and the disciples are gathering in high spirits on the square.
Lu Yu and the others didn't arrive too early, after all, the most powerful characters are usually the last to appear.
When they arrived at the central square and saw the crowded people, both Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin were startled.
"So many people? I thought there would only be a few dozen people casually competing."
Ling Tianxin was shocked by the large number of people and instinctively hid behind Lu Yu.
It was a natural reaction.
Lu Yu gently squeezed her small hand and comforted her.
"Don't worry, most of them are just here to join in the fun. There are probably only a few people who can compete with us."
"And... one popular contestant, Kong Sheng, is missing."
He said the last sentence in his mind. If the Hall Master Kong Qianyi heard it, he might come and kill them directly.
"Lu Yu junior brother, you're here."
As soon as Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin entered the square, they were spotted by Su Jin.
She greeted them and walked over.
"Senior sister Su Jin."
Lu Yu nodded at her.
Although she belongs to the faction of the senior elders, she is still a good person. She has helped them a lot during this time.
Lu Yu already considers her as his friend. Of course, it would be even better if Ling Tianqing could be more helpful and further improve their relationship.
"Senior sister Su Jin, do you know Ding San and Cui Tianming? Which two are they?"
"I knew you would ask. Come, let me show you."
Su Jin smiled at Lu Yu and stood beside Ling Tianxin, but did not extend her hand.
"There is a young man with a red ribbon tied to his knife handle, standing a hundred steps behind you. That's Ding San."
Following her instructions, Lu Yu looked in that direction.
Ding San is a very ordinary young man. If you didn't know how strong he was, you would probably mistake him for an ordinary person at first glance.
What surprised Lu Yu in particular was that this guy's reputation as a cultivation maniac was not unfounded.
Even after gathering for a while, this guy was still cultivating.
Although the effect of cultivating in the corner was not particularly good, it was no wonder his strength was so formidable when he could make use of every minute and second to cultivate.
Perhaps sensing Lu Yu and the others' gaze, Ding San slightly opened his eyes and glanced in their direction.
He only glanced once.
After taking that glance, he closed his eyes again to continue cultivating.
"He really is a cultivation maniac," Ling Tianxin said with a disdainful expression.
"He has his own pursuits, and such people are worthy of respect," Lu Yu lightly shook his head.
He considered himself a hardworking person, but compared to Ding San, he still had a long way to go.
Fortunately, his current strength was already on par with any genius or diligent expert, so he could maintain a calm mindset.
"On the city wall, the young disciple standing third from the right is Cui Tianming, the grandson of the second elder," Su Jin said, and Lu Yu and the others looked up at the city wall.
Sitting on the city wall was the hall master Kong Qianyi, his face full of black energy, and several elders stood beside him.
On the outermost periphery stood several young people. It was evident that they were high-ranking disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall.
These young people, with Cui Tianming as their core, surrounded him in the center.
"This kid has gathered a few strong individuals around him, which is a bit troublesome," Lu Yu glanced at Cui Tianming and sighed softly.
That's the advantage of having power and influence. At least you can find a group of people to help you anytime, anywhere.
They were all planning to break through and cultivate inside the Tianji Tower. But obviously, Ding San was doing it alone.
When the time comes to break through, he can only find a safe place for himself.
Lu Yu and Ling Tianxin could take care of each other, barely stronger than Ding San.
As for Cui Tianming, he had so many people to protect him. He had the highest chance of completing the breakthrough.
While Lu Yu and the others were observing others, others were also observing them.
After all, the first place in the Tianji Trial of the Gongyue City, who wouldn't take it seriously?
Although Gongyue City was not as big as Wansheng City and was only a branch of the Greedy Wolf Hall, the person who could achieve first place there was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Do you see that young boy next to Senior Su Jin? That's Lu Yu, the first place winner of the previous Tianji Trial in Gongyue City."
"Tch, just a Foundation Building stage little character. This trial is about which Gold Core stage expert's strength is superior. Foundation Building stage disciples are destined to be insignificant."
"Hard to say. Look at Senior Kong Sheng, he fell into a ditch before. Who knows if this kid has some powerful means."
As the crowd discussed, they looked towards Lu Yu and the others.
Being secretly watched by so many people, to be honest, he didn't feel good.
Fortunately, the competition was about to begin, and everyone's attention finally shifted away from him.
"Are all the disciples participating in the Greedy Wolf Hall's Tianji Trial here?"
"We're all here..."
The disciples shouted and laughed.
The Grand Elder smiled slightly and continued.
"The Tianji Trial, held once every three years, now officially begins! The first step, open the Tianji Tower!"
