Chapter 1283 - 21: Starting to Manage the Saint Land Already?

"That’s a good idea," Cyan Pine Zhenren brightened up and said, "Our Lingyun Sacred Land clearly has a surplus of geniuses this time. We can’t possibly let Unparalleled Celestial Pride miss even their Treasure Manuals, can we?"

"Such a pity for Unparalleled Celestial Pride. Isn’t it a shame for Great Celestial Pride Grade A too?" Celestial Fire Zhenren’s eyes brightened as well, "I heard that on the side of the Immortal Palace, there have been examples of Great Celestial Pride Grade A and Grade B inheriting the Treasure Manual. Our Shi Cong has been exceptionally talented since childhood, and if given the opportunity to study abroad at the Immortal Palace, he might not be inferior to those lofty prodigies from the Immortal Palace."

"Correct, correct, and this time, one of the Great Celestial Prides from the Immortal Palace returned with us, rumored to have future opportunities to compete for advancement," Master Yunyang scoffed with disdain, "Judging by my observations, it seems like nothing much.

As soon as Master Yunyang spoke...

Everyone’s eyes involuntarily focused on Jiang Xingyuan in the last row.

Everyone had heard that this child named "Jiang Xingyuan" is a friend of Gongyang Strategy and a direct disciple belonging to one of the sacred lands under the Immortal Palace—[Qixuan Sacred Land], and is one of those who have prospects of inheriting the [Qixuan Treasure Manual].

Even this child has a chance to inherit the Treasure Manual, so why can our more outstanding disciples only inherit divine techniques? At worst, just let the disciple join the Immortal Palace.

After all, Lingyun Sacred Land and the Immortal Palace have an inherently shared relationship. The former Lingyun Saint Master also branched out from the Immortal Palace, so going back isn’t a big deal~

Jiang Xingyuan, hearing them discuss, wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Being scrutinized and compared under the public eye is unbearable for anyone. Were it not for being unable to defeat this group of big shots, he would have flipped out long ago.

Even Yao Chengchao beside him couldn’t help but shift his position a little further away from him, lest he be drawn into the comparisons.

He finally understood that the current candidates from Lingyun Sacred Land are all prodigies—no, to be exact, anyone related to the Wang Family is a true prodigy.

Their future stage will certainly not be limited to the East Qian Kingdom, located in a corner.

Just from this perspective, the future prospects of the Wang Family appear exceedingly promising.

It seems that tightly clinging to the Wang Family’s coattails might bring tremendous opportunities to Yao Chengchao. Studying alongside the children of the Wang Family right now is the best entry point.

They, the Yao Family, do have a Treasure Manual inheritance.

For a moment, Yao Chengchao’s heart was inflamed.

While the True Men were thinking about the Treasure Manual inheritance of the Immortal Palace and discussing how to roll up into the Immortal Palace, the images within the Trial Ground were rapidly switching.

The flow of time within the Trial Ground seems entirely different from outside, making the progression very swift.

After all, this is a trial testing comprehensive ability, requiring managing a community, developing productivity, and leading the villagers to fight. The overall time span is relatively large; people can’t possibly spectate here for ten or eight years, right?

Though unaware of the methods these Trial Pods employ, evidently, the Divine Martial Dynasty considered these issues when constructing these "Trial Pods" and gradually perfected all of it.

Therefore, although the images on the large crystal screen appeared fast-forwarded, they were still quite smooth, without missing any important points.

Wang Lici, leveraging her unique foodie talent, gained a greater advantage at the start. Those infants quickly became strong after drinking enough milk, growing at a visible speed, seemingly needing less than a year to "grow" into hearty adults.

This prompted Wang Shouzhe to secretly grumble, whose child grows this fast?

But it makes sense in retrospect, the Officer Training Academy needs to prioritize efficiency; the duration of a "trial assessment" can’t drag on for hundreds of years, can it? Improving the pace of the trial is naturally something to consider.

Meanwhile...

Wang Yingxuan, who had been in a severe training mode from the start, after expending considerable grain resources and hard work, saw a significant improvement in the Essence, Qi, and Spirit and physique of this batch of young adults, with the formation of a hundred-person army finally achieving minor success.

Wang Yingxuan herself also experienced some personal strength enhancement during this time.

Now, she finally leads the army triumphantly into the wild, embarking on a sweep amidst the increasingly cold wilderness.

Upon encountering Fierce Beasts, she first grapples with a Stone Spear for a round, probing the depth of the Fierce Beast, only to find that, as Master suggested, they are incredibly challenging and costly to deal with initially.

Immediately, she abandoned the solo kill, entering command mode.

And indeed, Wang Yingxuan, who set her sights on becoming a Valkyrie since childhood, demonstrated formidable leadership and command ability by age ten. Over the years, her skills have escalated tremendously in this area, far surpassing ordinary people.

She relies on herself to hold the Fierce Beast at bay while directing a hundred-person army to form up and surround and destroy.

In no time, using minimal cost, she finished off the bear-like Fierce Beast, acquiring fur, sharp claws, and precious blood and flesh.

She took out five hundred pounds of meat and had it cooked on the spot, enjoying it with the soldiers, while personally bandaging the injured soldiers and boosting morale.

This also caused those soldiers who initially feared her due to intense training to experience a surge of morale, transitioning from fear to reverence and even worship.
