Depressing Matters

Under his gentle push, the Flying Knife suddenly shot out, quickly burying itself in the Devil Race's back.

Even more bizarrely, the Devil Race's thick body was like air at this moment. The Flying Knife shot in one end, pierced through the Devil Race's chest, broke through the Devil Race's head, and then flew five or six zhang into the sky before falling down when its power was exhausted.

At this moment, Luo Zheng was too shocked to speak. There were only two possibilities to achieve this effect. Either his strength was terrifyingly great, and the Flying Knife could easily pierce through the Devil Race with his strength, which was clearly impossible.

The other possibility was that this broken Flying Knife itself was incredibly sharp and could easily pierce through the Devil Race with very little force.

Only the second possibility was before Luo Zheng's eyes.

What level of treasure is this Flying Knife? Luo Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

The Devil Race, who was like a small mountain, clutched his chest and staggered a few steps before finally holding his head and turning into thousands of light points.

The only Level 5 Illusory Beast on the fifth floor was killed by Luo Zheng!

"Ding ding..."

A pure black Crystal Shard fell to the ground and bounced to Luo Zheng's hand.

Only one Black Crystal Shard was needed to pass the assessment...

Luo Zheng picked up the Black Crystal Shard, wondering which idiot designed this rule, and couldn't help but curse the person who set up the formation, wishing they would have a son without an anus.

This Devil Race was so powerful; he would rather kill a hundred Level 3 Illusory Beasts than provoke this Level 5 Illusory Beast.

Luo Zheng already had enough Crystal Shards in his hand. Compared to this Black Crystal Shard, he was more concerned about his Flying Knife.

He struggled to get up, walked a few steps, but couldn't find the Flying Knife on the ground.

If he hadn't seen the power of this Flying Knife, it would have been fine, but now that he had discovered that this Flying Knife was definitely a super treasure, he absolutely couldn't afford to lose it.

How could it be gone?

Luo Zheng searched back and forth several times and finally found a small hole in the ground.

Damn it... This Flying Knife is so sharp that even the Devil Race's flesh couldn't stop its momentum at all. Now that it has fallen, it's probably deeply embedded in the ground.

He dug the ground bit by bit with force, digging two or three meters deep, but still couldn't find the Flying Knife.

At this moment, the scenery around Luo Zheng suddenly changed color, emitting a little bit of light.

The entire illusion was slowly collapsing. Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng's face changed. Damn it, the Bloodcolor Trials should be over, and these illusory formations have also extinguished.

The place where Luo Zheng was also shifted and changed completely. He was now in a blood-colored forest. The surrounding land and plants were all blood red. This was the true appearance of Bloodcolor Mountain.

As for the place where Luo Zheng had just dug, it also disappeared.

"This, this... my Flying Knife!"

Luo Zheng immediately wanted to cry without tears.

Because the illusory formation was lifted, the injuries he had previously suffered were completely healed. Those injuries were actually illusions created by the illusory formation. Now he had plenty of strength to dig.

But on such a large Bloodcolor Mountain, who knew where the Flying Knife had moved to? If he wanted to find the Flying Knife, would he have to turn the entire Bloodcolor Mountain upside down?

At this moment, a Flying Carriage flew from the horizon and stopped beside him. An assessment staff member jumped down and invited Luo Zheng onto the Flying Carriage.

The instructors were still discussing at this time.

But their focus of discussion was no longer Luo Zheng, but several other trial disciples and Aristocratic Clan Disciples who had also performed well.

Although they didn't see Luo Zheng's final outcome, it was probably a foregone conclusion that he was eliminated. Although they were looking forward to Luo Zheng's performance in the next Azure Cloud Sect assessment, there was no need to pay attention to him this month at least.

However, when Luo Zheng came down in the Flying Carriage, he actually walked straight over and then asked, "Excuse me, who should I give these Crystal Shards to?"

"Over here!" A woman in a yellow dress waved at Luo Zheng. She was responsible for counting the Crystal Shards obtained by the trial disciples. In front of her were four colored baskets, used to count the four different colors of Crystal Shards.

The instructors' faces were a little surprised at this moment, and also a little confused.

According to the rules of the Bloodcolor Trials, Luo Zheng had been eliminated, so even if he obtained more Crystal Shards, it would be useless. After all, being eliminated in the illusory formation meant "death". If a person was already dead, what qualifications did they have to pass the Bloodcolor Trials?

Zhong Ming naturally also noticed Luo Zheng. Just now, he had used the Illusory Formation Plate to release the Level 5 Illusory Beast and locked onto Luo Zheng as the target. He was afraid of arousing suspicion from others, so he didn't dare to touch the Illusory Formation Plate again.

Now seeing Luo Zheng come down the mountain, he felt a little smug. He had already passed the Bloodcolor Trials, but was eliminated in the end. This guy must be very painful now, right?

It seemed that Luo Zheng still hadn't figured out the situation and was still thinking of handing in the Crystal Shards! He felt it was necessary to explain the rules of the Bloodcolor Trials to Luo Zheng and tell him that he was already considered a dead person, and even if he had a thousand, ten thousand Crystal Shards, it would be useless!

He took two steps towards Luo Zheng, but his legs seemed to be welded to the spot. He saw Luo Zheng casually throwing out a Black Crystal Shard.

In Zhong Ming's eyes, that Black Crystal Shard was very dazzling.

The woman in the yellow dress blinked her eyes and asked strangely, "Huh, why is there a Black Crystal Shard?"

Since she had been responsible for counting, she had always only placed four colored baskets. She didn't know that Black Crystal Shards existed.

As soon as she said this in surprise, everyone immediately understood.

That Devil Race Illusory Beast was killed by Luo Zheng.

This Black Crystal Shard naturally dropped from that Devil Race Illusory Beast.

The scene was instantly silent.

This Illusory Beast was designed to be here, and it was never considered that someone would kill it.

But now, the Black Crystal Shard was thrown on the table by Luo Zheng. The black light appeared very mysterious, even with a hint of seductive color.

"Why are there black Crystal Shards?" The woman in the yellow dress was a little confused by the reactions of the people around her and raised her voice to ask again. She was wondering if Luo Zheng had cheated and was trying to pass off this black Crystal Shard as something else.

At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man walked out and said, "There are black Crystal Shards, and only one. Since the Illusory Formation on Bloodcolor Mountain was activated, no one has obtained it. Little Shi, you are responsible for the statistics, so naturally you haven't seen it."

The yellow-robed woman named Shi suddenly realized and nodded, "So that's how it is."

The handsome middle-aged man then came up to Luo Zheng and said, "Young man, your performance in this Bloodcolor Trials was outstanding. I am Instructor Zhou from Raging Wave Peak, and I warmly welcome you to join our Raging Wave Peak."

"What's so good about going to Raging Wave Peak? It's ranked outside the top twenty among the thirty-three peaks. If you want to come, come to our Spirit Ring Peak. Our Spirit Ring Peak is ranked fifth among the thirty-three peaks, and all the benefits and treatment are incomparable to their Raging Wave Peak," a bald man rushed out again, almost shouting these words.

"Bald Jiang, what do you mean by that? Do you mean my Raging Wave Peak is worse than your Spirit Ring Peak? The rankings change every year. Our Raging Wave Peak was firmly in the top three ten years ago. In terms of foundation, your Spirit Ring Peak isn't even fit to carry our Raging Wave Peak's shoes!" Instructor Zhou was immediately enraged when he heard the bald man evaluate his Raging Wave Peak like this.

Instructor Jiang was about to retort, but another instructor interrupted, it was Instructor Xu from Heaven One Peak.

Luo Zheng remembered that Luo Peiran and Wang Heng were both in Heaven One Peak!

After Instructor Xu stood still, he slowly said, "Our Heaven One Peak holds the leadership among the thirty-three peaks and has always been ranked first. I hope you can join our Heaven One Peak."

Facing Instructor Xu's invitation, Luo Zheng was noncommittal. No matter where he went, he would not choose Heaven One Peak. It wasn't that he had any prejudice against Instructor Xu, he simply disliked anything related to Luo Peiran.

"Luo Zheng isn't going anywhere, he's coming to my Little Rain Peak," the clear voice finally sounded. Su Lingyun felt she couldn't sit still any longer. Luo Zheng was the first one she discovered. What were these annoying guys doing surrounding him now?

All the instructors, hearing Su Lingyun speak, had a look of apprehension in their eyes. Although Su Lingyun was just an instructor, if she were to get serious, these people would have to respectfully kneel and call her "Your Highness".

Apprehension was one thing, but these instructors were all shrewd individuals. They could yield on other matters, but it would be absolutely difficult to make them yield even an inch on this matter.

"Instructor Su, that's not right. Last time, and the time before that, two outstanding trial disciples were chosen by you, and everyone didn't argue with you. But this time you want to take another one. The rest of us thirty-two peaks might as well not come to select disciples in the future. We'll just wait until your Little Rain Peak picks the leftovers, and then we'll choose," Instructor Xu said without changing his expression.

"That's right, Instructor Su, it can't always be like this..."

"Besides, your Little Rain Peak is still the last-ranked peak..."

All the instructors echoed.

Everyone was already very dissatisfied with Su Lingyun's overbearing selection of disciples. This time, she wanted to take Luo Zheng again. The instructors finally couldn't bear it anymore and, led by Instructor Xu, they all attacked Su Lingyun.

Facing the words of these instructors, Su Lingyun suddenly waved her hand, "Stop, stop! Everyone, stop talking!"

Only then did the instructors shut up. Of course, they didn't dare to truly anger Instructor Su, otherwise, none of them would be able to stay in the Azure Cloud Sect.

Su Lingyun sighed and said, "Alright then, let's follow the normal rules. First, let's count all the disciples who passed the Bloodcolor Trials according to their ranking, and then divide them according to their ranking and their own wishes. Is that acceptable?"

When Su Lingyun said this, the other instructors immediately breathed a sigh of relief and, of course, nodded in agreement.

However, these instructors forgot Su Lingyun's personality. With her personality, there was no possibility of something she had set her sights on since childhood being taken by someone else.

The reason she was willing to make this concession now was that she had already thought of other methods.

As the statistical work continued in an orderly manner, a cunning smile appeared on her face.
