Chu Mingyu spotted Zhao Yu immediately, and a flash of disbelief flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's you, Zhao Yu! You're not dead? I clearly remember you being blasted to ashes by an evil soul master's attack."
Zhao Yu angrily yelled, "You're the one who's going to die! Can you even talk?"
Chu Mingyu was not angry, but smiled and said: "I'm glad you're not dead!"
Zhao Yu said with emotion: "Ah, I didn't expect that you not only survived, but also passed the trial smoothly. You are really lucky."
Chu Mingyu was full of doubts and asked quickly, "What's going on?"
Because Zhao Yu "died" and left the trial space early, he understood the reason for the incident after coming out, and immediately told Chu Mingyu everything.
It turns out that the real trial had already begun the moment everyone stepped into the temple training camp.
When entering the Temple Training Camp, all students were synchronously teleported to a small simulated space called the Trial Space. This small space was carefully simulated and constructed by the Soul Guidance Simulation Tower.
In this special space, even "death" does not mean true death, but will automatically teleport out of the small space.
Similarly, the evil soul masters and even the powerful Titled Douluo that appeared in the space did not really exist, but were merely products of simulation.
However, these simulated characters are extremely lifelike, whether in appearance, aura or fighting style, they can give people an immersive sense of reality, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.
The core purpose of this trial is to comprehensively test how people will respond in times of crisis and how much potential they can unleash under high-pressure environments.
"Look, the trial results are out!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Everyone looked up at the sky above the square, and saw that the silver tower projected a huge light curtain with names and scores scrolling on it.
"Wang He, final score: 186, ranking: 728."
"Zhao Yu, final score: 284, ranking: 563."
"Zhao Hao, final score: 453, ranking: 364."
…
"Chu Mingyu, final score: 863, ranking: 34."
…
"Yali, final score: 3689, ranking: 3."
"Le Qianxue, final score: 5816, ranking: 2."
"Le Qianyao, final score: 102346, ranking: 1."
When the crowd saw Le Qianyao's results, they went wild.
"No way, am I dazzled? How many points did the first place get?" Someone rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"More than 100,000 points? How is that possible? There must be a system failure!" another person also questioned loudly.
Just as everyone was discussing Le Qianyao's performance and raising doubts, a staff member from Douluo Palace stood up.
The staff member cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet! There is no problem with the system. Le Qianyao's results are real and valid, without any mistakes. This trial result is based on everyone's comprehensive performance in the trial space, including the number of evil soul masters killed, survival time, completion of special tasks, and the use of skills and adaptability in battle."
"Then he can't possibly have 100,000 points!"
"That's right! More than 100,000 points, this is absolutely impossible! From ancient times to the present, no one has ever obtained such a high score in the trial. There must be something fishy!" Someone in the crowd retorted loudly.
At this time, Mu Yan slowly stepped forward, his eyes calmly sweeping over the crowd, and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for someone to obtain such a high score in the trial, but student Le Qianyao's situation is rather special. During the trial, he successfully killed the simulated Titled Douluo and all the evil soul masters."
"What? We are all great soul masters, how is it possible to kill a Titled Douluo? This is a joke!" Someone else questioned, his tone full of disbelief.
"Exactly. I remember that you, Chief Instructor, couldn't even defeat that Titled Douluo!"
Chu Mingyu and the others exchanged glances, then stood up and loudly explained, "Everyone, listen to me! Le Qianyao really did kill that Titled Douluo single-handedly. This is true!"
"That's right, Le Qianyao has contracted the Holy King, the King of the Sacred Pegasus! With the Holy King's help, killing a Titled Douluo is not impossible!"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
"He actually contracted the Holy King. No wonder..."
"So that's how it is. Then this score makes sense." Everyone whispered to each other and gradually understood the reason.
As the storm gradually subsided, Mu Yan turned his gaze to Le Qianyao, Le Qianxue, and Yali, and said, "Le Qianyao, Le Qianxue, Yali, the three of you come with me."
After hearing this, the three of them followed Mu Yan and left.
Along the way, the students around them were still discussing what had just happened in low voices, and their eyes would occasionally turn to the three of them.
Soon, they came to a quiet corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor were hung some historical portraits of Douluo Palace, which looked particularly solemn under the soft light.
The three followed Mu Yan into a room.
In the room, a handsome man was standing in front of the window with his back to the door.
He has an upright posture and an extraordinary temperament, giving people a feeling of calmness and majesty.
"Palace Master, I have brought the person here!" Mu Yan said respectfully.
"Okay, you go down first!" The man turned around slightly and said softly.
"Yes." Mu Yan responded, turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.
Le Qianyao saw who was coming and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Palace Master Yao!"
Yao Yunyi smiled appreciatively and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite."
Then, his gaze swept over Le Qianyao, Le Qianxue, and Yali one by one, and continued, "Saint Son, Saint Daughter, and Little Li'er, your performance in this trial was absolutely perfect. Not only did you successfully pass the trial, you also broke the highest record in the history of Douluo Palace. Especially Saint Son, you passed it in such a unique and novel way. This is probably the first time in the history of Douluo Palace. I think your name will always hang high on the trial leaderboard, becoming the object of admiration for those who come after you."
As he spoke, he chuckled softly, "I can imagine what kind of wonderful expressions would appear on those old guys' faces if they heard this news."
Yao Yunyi then walked over to a nearby table, picked up three neatly stacked combat uniforms and three exquisite temple badges, and handed them to the three men. He said, "These are your combat uniforms and temple badges. From now on, you are white-level warriors of the Douluo Palace. With these temple badges, you can accept various missions. Completing these missions will earn you corresponding contribution points, which can be used to redeem various precious rewards."
