Chapter 245: Chapter 2: You Deserve Your Defeat!

Liang Hui stood up, feeling the power coursing through his body, his expression flashing with satisfaction.

The secret techniques of the Mo Path were still useful.

Crack! Crack!

He snapped off four wolf claws and wrapped them in the wolf’s hide.

At the same time, he concealed his aura and sprinted towards a certain part of the mountain range.

That place was the only gathering spot for the Human Race in this realm, and it was where he had acquired the Human Race’s Cultivation Method.

Trees and rocks kept flashing by in his line of sight.

Soon, he arrived at the front of a valley.

Looking at the dim and narrow cave entrance before him, Liang Hui found a boulder to sit cross-legged on and closed his eyes to ponder.

Waiting for the other companions participating in the trial to return.

’Hah! Trials!’

A sneer played on the corner of Liang Hui’s mouth.

He had never seen a trial that would send underfed youths into a mountain range rife with demonic beasts to hunt ferocious creatures.

Rather than calling it a trial, it was more fitting to say it was a way to weed out the useless of Silver Rock Valley.

After all, a rare species could only be considered precious if it were scarce.

Time ticked away, second by second, while the three full moons continued to sink.

Nine great suns rose from the end of the horizon, scattering endless heat and light.

Creak! Creak!

Two emaciated silhouettes trudged out from the jungle, supporting each other as they approached near Liang Hui.

They were two youths clad in tattered clothes, their bodies covered in wounds.

Clinging tightly to a bloodstained package, they looked over warily at Liang Hui, who was sitting on the boulder.

At that moment, ripples started appearing at the narrow passage entrance.

A figure in red martial attire emerged before the valley.

"Three survivors this time, not bad."

"Bring me the proof of the fierce beasts you’ve killed."

The voice reached them even before he was in sight.

The two frail figures quickly handed over their package.

After the Great Han took it and looked inside, he spoke,

"Pangolin claws can grant only one of you the qualification to cultivate. Have you decided amongst yourselves?"

"Instructor Jiang, we have agreed. Xiao Qi will cultivate," said the more mature youth, pointing to his companion.

"Jiang Qi, is it? I see."

Then, he cast a glance at Liang Hui, who had just stood up, surprise flickering in his eyes.

His robust hand reached out towards Liang Hui.

"Qi Chao, hand it over and let’s see if it’s..."

Smack!

Taking a step back, he dodged that claw.

"Instructor Jiang, it’s the rule to activate the valley’s prohibitions and enter Silver Rock Valley for inspection."

Liang Hui looked at the stout man indifferently, his hand reaching out and his fingers moving.

"In front of Silver Rock Valley, I have the right to examine..."

"Instructor Jiang, you are just a gatekeeper after all, what right do you have?"

"Now, open the gate."

Striding forward, he passed by the Great Han and headed into the valley.

Standing in front of the valley, he exposed his back without any reservation to the Great Han’s gaze.

His head tilted slightly to reveal half of his youthful face, a playful smile on his lips.

"Hurry up, didn’t you hear?"

"Or are you intending to seize my spoils of war here, or..."

"Kill me!"

Instructor Jiang’s eyes were cold as he gazed at the figure ahead.

The little thought that had just sprouted in his mind had already vanished, replaced instead with killing intent.

"Qi Chao, you’ve misunderstood. It was just to check the proof, as has always been the case for generations."

"Open the gate! Less nonsense," Liang Hui commanded as he took the wolfhide-wrapped package from his back with one hand and placed it in front of him.

If it were not for the fact that this place was in front of Silver Rock Valley, he would have already taken action to slaughter the so-called Instructor Jiang.

That claw was not just about checking the package.

It was nothing more than a test of fleshly strength, and even now, without having undergone any cultivation, Liang Hui could crush the other with one hand.

The air fell into silence.

A moment later, a deep voice finally came from the Great Han.

"I remember you."

The space in front of the valley rippled in layers, revealing a path for passage.

Liang Hui stepped forward and disappeared into the pathway.

Outside the valley, the skinny youth who didn’t obtain the Beast Credential flickered with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

To have hope, only to be plunged back into despair, was undeniably painful.

Looking toward the red-clad Great Han in front of him, he called out with some reluctance,

"Uncle!"

"Follow Xiao Qi, we’ll enter together."

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can’t seize it, you can’t blame anyone."

The red-clad Great Han spoke, his words tinged with indifference.

Taking a step forward, he led Jiang Qi towards the passage.

On the other side.

Liang Hui’s figure had already arrived inside the valley.

The valley, which didn’t seem large from the outside, was more than ten times bigger on the inside.

Yet all that met the eye was desolation: the earth was brown, dry, and cracked, devoid of any sign of living aura.

A castle made of bluish-gray rock stood before him, surrounded by three or four dilapidated villages.

Rundown, silent, solemn, and devoid of the slightest hope.

Gazing at the scene before him, the corners of Liang Hui’s mouth twitched slightly.

The situation was worse than he had imagined; even in this state, you’re still not united, still scheming against each other.

It could only be said that they did not die unjustly!

A second look.

Only after surveying the valley did Liang Hui turn his gaze to a middle-aged man lying drunk on a rock.

The man was draped in a blue robe, his face overgrown with stubble, looking extremely dejected.

Clang!

Four wolf claws were tossed down beside the man.

"The trial is complete."

"Please instruct us, sir, in cultivation, to slay demons and eradicate Mo, and restore the glory of the Human Race."

Boom!

Not only did the blue-robed man who was lying on the rock stand up in a panic,

but the red-clad Great Han who entered afterward also wore a look of fright.

To slay demons and eradicate Mo!

For hundreds of years, no one had dared to express such a notion.

The remnants of the Human Race who survived those battles were nearly extinct.

How could these people, who had lived under the rule of the Demon Tribe since birth, dare to utter such words?

Even with ancestral resentment, they did not dare.

"Young man, watch your words!" the middle-aged man scolded sharply.

His body trembling, he looked up at the sky.

After a long while, when there was no movement in the sky, the blue-robed man breathed a sigh of relief and advised,

"The whims of fate are unpredictable, some words should not be spoken, and indeed must not be spoken, lest great disaster befall you."

"Henceforth, you must be exceedingly careful in your cultivation."

"Senior, you are right to instruct as such."

Liang Hui chuckled lightly, his tone casual.

The experiment just now had yielded the results he wanted.

He had learned to craft identities from the Flowing Light Bell and with the "Enter Dream" he obscured causal connections, making it difficult for even the heavens of this world to detect.

They could only know that it was Qi Chao who had spoken of slaying demons and eradicating Mo, not Liang Hui.

Looking up at the dim sky over the valley, his lips curved into a smile.

’Both of you, let me present you with a grand gift.’

"Senior Zhou, the youth has been disobedient. Should we revoke his cultivation qualification?" asked the red-clad Great Han, stepping forward respectfully.

The blue-robed man frowned slightly, looking displeased at the Great Han.

He stretched out his hand and picked up the wolf claws from the ground.

"His words are not wrong, and he has passed the trial. Why revoke his qualification?"

He placed the four wolf claws into a wolf-hide bag and handed them back to Liang Hui.

"These claws contain a trace of demonic power, which can be exchanged for resources to aid in Foundation Establishment. Take care of them."

"This is one of the rare opportunities we have to slay demon beasts,"

said the blue-robed man, his face bearing a bitter expression.
