New and Full Moon Domain

"The Fifth Trial: Enter the Moon-Reflecting City. Test takers must ascend fifteen Moon-Reflecting Steps to obtain the New and Full Moon Domain. Time limit: one year."

The young man in white paused, "The Fifth Trial will automatically open after you pass the Fourth Trial. Each person can climb the Moon-Reflecting Steps once every fifteen days and once every thirtieth day. After you have climbed them, you can continue to cultivate in the Yue Shen Tower."

"You damn dog, lead the way and explain the rules inside."

"Tch, got it." The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor replied.

Wang Xingyu had a sudden thought. It seemed that the Moon-Reflecting City was similar to the Slaughter City; one could obtain a domain after passing through it.

The New and Full Moon Domain – New Moon represents the beginning of the new moon, Full Moon represents the end of the full moon; he immediately guessed what skills this domain might contain.

"Let me know when you two are going." The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor raised a paw to wipe the drool off the ground.

"Tomorrow, Senior Wolf Emperor," Xiao Wu said. "I need to stabilize my Soul Power first."

The next day, the two flew behind the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor.

As the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor flew, it said, "Upon entering the Moon-Reflecting City, your strength will be suppressed. You can only use the first five Soul Skill, and your level cap is locked at fifty-nine. Soul Bone Skill are also unusable. However, you can still use your domain." After speaking, it glanced at Wang Xingyu.

"Senior Wolf Emperor, what form does the assessment take inside?" Wang Xingyu asked.

"It's nothing more than killing some virtual Soul Beast and defeating some people. Being defeated will just mean you'll be automatically kicked out of Moon-Reflecting City; there's no danger to your life. Unless you engage in a life-or-death battle. That thing can only be forced upon each person once a month without exception. With your Soul Skill, you can handle it easily."

We've arrived.

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor landed in front of a broken, crooked stone gate on the ground. "Just go in. Get out of here as soon as you're done."

"Good."

The two stepped inside at the same time.

The scene before them suddenly changed into a strange space, and their Soul Power sank, their levels instantly compressed to level fifty-nine.

Looking up, a crescent moon hung in the sky, matching the phase of the moon outside.

The ground is a floating island with many houses and tents, and a ring of disc-shaped floating stone steps along its edge, rising up and disappearing into the sky.

There were many people around, some meditating cross-legged, some talking in hushed tones, and many wearing masks.

Wang Xingyu roughly sensed that the cultivation speed here was 1.5 times that of the outside world.

Just to be on the safe side, the two also took out masks and put them on.

As soon as he steadied himself, Wang Xingyu noticed many eyes sweeping over him and Xiao Wu.

A quick glance revealed the reason: the two were too young, only seventeen years old this year, and even with masks on, they still had a sense of naivety.

The majority of people here are middle-aged, with only a small number being young people in their twenties.

To Wang Xingyu's surprise, most of the Soul Power here was at Level 40, with some at level 30. He had originally thought that most of them would be level 50 Soul Master.

A middle-aged man not far away nudged the person next to him with his elbow and whispered, "Want some?" He gestured with his finger across his neck.

"No rush. It might not be a brat who came in after finding the Moon-Reflecting Stone; it could be a noble family here for training. Let's assess their strength first."

The two thought they were speaking softly, but Wang Xingyu's enhanced hearing allowed him to hear every single word.

Was this a case of murdering and robbing the two because they were too young?

Does anyone other than the Yue Shen Assessment need a key to enter the Moon-Reflecting Stone?

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor didn't mention it at all, perhaps because it felt there was no need to go into details; the important thing was to finish quickly and go back to cultivation.

"Xingyu, those must be the Moon-Reflecting Steps, right?" Xiao Wu pointed to the floating discs around the edge.

"I think we should go take a look."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone suddenly blocked his way, "Hey, you two brats, how did you get in here?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a half-mask.

"He just walked in. Uncle, is there something you need?" Xiao Wu looked up.

"Come in? I advise you to get out right now. This is not a place for brats."

"Heh heh heh, there are always some fools who don't know their own limitations, thinking they're very lucky to have ended up here by accident."

A weasel-faced man approached, sizing them up. "Since you're here, I'm tired of eating dry biscuits anyway. You two, hand over whatever you have, and I'll spare your lives."

"Yeah, sigh, God is so unfair. Why should these weaklings be stuck in the same place as me?" another person in the crowd sneered, making no attempt to hide their sarcasm.

Xiao Wu frowned, turned to look at Wang Xingyu, and wondered if they should take action.

But then they saw Wang Xingyu with a smile on his face, as if he had remembered something good.

"Xingyu, what are you laughing at?"

"Huh? I absolutely didn't plan on any plot involving showing off and getting slapped in the face!"

"Uh, cough cough, it's nothing."

Wang Xingyu coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, mainly because this scene was too much like a protagonist in a novel entering a dungeon and being ridiculed by those around them.

"Hey, is this kid an idiot?" The man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face turned around and winked at his companion.

His companion stepped forward from behind. "Who cares? Let's grab it first, and not let them find any loopholes."

The middle-aged man wearing a half-mask shook his head helplessly and silently shielded everyone in front of him.

"You two idiots, if you have nothing to hand over, your bodies will do. Hahaha—Green Hair, I advise you not to be ungrateful, or I'll have to—"

Before the weasel-faced man could finish speaking, Wang Xingyu, suppressing a chill, blurted out, "I want to fight you to the death."

"What?"

"You've already chosen your own death. I say, I'm going to fight you to the death. You're uglier than Wind Baboon and can't understand human language?"

The weasel-faced man laughed in anger. His mandatory life-or-death battle for the month was over, and he could have refused, but he nodded with a sneer, "Fine, fine, I agree."

As soon as the words were spoken, a circular stone step flew up to the top of their heads.

It should be the venue for a life-or-death battle.

Wang Xingyu leaped onto the stone platform and discovered that the space above was much larger than it appeared from the outside, suggesting a change in spatial arrangement.

The man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face jumped up right after, wanting to say a few more trashy words.

A white Soul Ring lit up, a blue-green light flashed beneath their feet, and both of them fainted simultaneously.

The other party was so rude that Wang Xingyu didn't bother to say anything more.

Surprise flashed in the eyes of those around them; how come both of them fainted at the beginning?

Only Xiao Wu stood quietly with her arms crossed over her chest, waiting.

The reason for initiating a life-or-death battle is simple: the other party has picked a fight with him, so this is a good opportunity to establish his authority and avoid future troubles.

Half an hour later, Wang Xingyu stood up.

He silently acknowledged his failure; spatial theory, without the support of specialized knowledge, was too difficult to put into practice. He jumped off the stage and said to Xiao Wu, "Let's go."

At the edge of the ring, the man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face hesitated before jumping up and checking his pulse. "Dead... dead?!" He suddenly looked at Wang Xingyu. "There's not a single scratch on your body. What did you do?!"

"What else can I do?" Wang Xingyu gave him a strange look. "If you say another word, believe me, I'll kill you too?"

He wondered to himself, "Could it really cause the IQ of those around me to automatically decrease?"

After this incident, all the greedy gazes around them faded away, and the two who had previously harbored malicious intentions quietly left.

After all, if a ten-year Soul Skill is this powerful, this person's strength is unfathomable.

The two walked to the edge, thinking they would be safe from further contact, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man with half a mask suddenly appeared beside them. "Gentlemen, we apologize for our earlier offense. Are you still allowed to leave?"

Wang Xingyu didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What?"

"I see you two are new here and unfamiliar with the rules. If you can get out, I'd appreciate it if you could bring me some food. In exchange, I can explain the situation here to you."

"Sure, Uncle," Xiao Wu agreed. The two of them were just short of a guide.
