Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 92 Nightmare Jedi (Part )
"Second round of the provincial examination, survival in a secret realm."

Lu Mingshi had asked someone to inquire about the content of the provincial examination. In previous years, there were melees and martial arts competitions, leading troops to guard the pass, and even surrounding and killing monsters.

There is another way which is the most difficult but also offers the most opportunities, which is survival in a secret realm.

The Martial Temple has many secret realms left over from ancient times. Outsiders do not know exactly how many secret realms there are in the Martial Temple, but there are currently no less than twelve secret realms revealed to the public.

There's the Red Flame Valley, a complex terrain filled with lava fissures that occasionally erupt in flames. It's home to a variety of fire-attributed monsters. It's also rich in fire-attributed spiritual plants and minerals, which candidates can freely collect. As long as they persevere to the end, they can dispose of them themselves.

There's also the Shadowy Marsh, whose depths are perpetually shrouded in fog. Not only does it obstruct vision, it also harbors countless hidden dangers, home to strange creatures like Shadow Ghost Vines, Phantom Demon Spiders, and Ghostly Snakes. But similarly, within it lie numerous treasures capable of enhancing one's spiritual strength.

In addition, there are different secret realms such as Shura Blood Land, Beast Fighting Arena, and Judgment Trial.

"This secret realm is the [Nightmare Jedi]. You can explore its details on your own. If you feel you can't hold on any longer, you can surrender at any time and escape from the Jedi."

"All secret realms are filled with great danger. Don't cling to material possessions, or you'll lose your life."

The clerk in the government office rarely put on a serious expression when reading out the rules.

Although no one had heard of the name of this secret realm, they couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

Those who can reach this step are basically the best among the younger generation, and no one wants to lose their life because of an exam.

"Everyone, please follow me."

The clerk's eyes swept over everyone before he slowly spoke.

He led everyone through a main hall and entered a spacious building that looked like an ancestral hall.

The table in front was filled with densely packed arrangements, and arm-thick sandalwood sticks were burning vigorously. The air was filled with the lingering smell of incense and the smell of burnt paper.

Inside the entire building, strange runes were written everywhere in cinnabar, giving people a weird feeling just by looking at them.

"Kakakaka."

As everyone was waiting outside the hall, the altar table suddenly split in the middle, revealing a hole the size of a person.

The entrance to the cave was pitch black, sucking in all the surrounding light, making it impossible to see what was inside.

But when he saw this scene, Lu Ming's heart moved.

Why does the appearance of this cave entrance look so much like the Huitian Sect's lair that he encountered last time?

Don't underestimate this small hole; it likely connects to a vast space. Based on this alone, the Martial Temple's secret realm should be far more powerful than the Huitian Sect's lair.

"Everyone, please come in."

"Remember, if something seems amiss, admit it immediately and don't lose your life over a small mistake."

Before entering, the clerk warned again.

Then, everyone walked into the cave one by one according to the numbers on the plates.

……

The deep cave entrance seems to have no end.

It was dark inside the cave. Even though Lu Ming had dark vision, he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly.

All I saw were dark shadows, as if the dead souls were queuing up to enter the underworld.

This rush of not knowing where to go and not seeing where to return can easily make people feel impatient and create tremendous pressure. The whole world is silent. Even if you are surrounded by students, you can't hear them breathing or their conversation.

It was as if everyone was quietly walking towards the abyss, step by step. Suddenly, everyone's steps stopped almost at the same time.

Because we have reached our destination.

It was as if everyone was in a trance, and everyone suddenly appeared in the secret realm from the long tunnel.

Lu Ming looked up at the sky. It seemed to be evening. Half the sky was a brilliant red, casting a dim light on the entire world. The soil on the ground was a little muddy, but it looked very fertile. However, there were only weeds and low shrubs around.

Further away, there was actually a village. He could even see figures walking back and forth in it from afar.

He didn't expect that there were living people living in this secret place. It was simply a small world.

It has to be said that humans are social animals. After entering such an unknown place, the first thing they do is to gather together.

But it is impossible for everyone to join the group together, after all, there are more than a thousand people entering here.

Most people formed groups based on their fellow townspeople, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen small teams were formed.

"Lu Ming."

"We are the military scholars from Changning County. We heard that you are also from Changning. Why not join us in our exploration?"

Everyone present had heard of Lu Ming's reputation. Although many people disagreed with his title of the best master of the younger generation in Bingzhou, they all knew that this man was definitely very powerful.

Lu Ming turned around and saw that there were thirteen martial arts scholars in Changning County.

Because the implicit age limit for taking the provincial examination is forty, most of them look to be in their thirties, and a few look younger.

Lu Ming looked at them and shook his head.

"No, I'm used to being alone."

These people had no martial arts bodies, and their realm was only between the second and third levels of martial arts. Most of them were not even as strong as the Changning County Lieutenant, and were of no value in Lu Ming's eyes.

One person wanted to say something, but was stopped by the leader.

"We apologize for being abrupt. If you would like to join us later, you are always welcome."

A few people left quickly, and in a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left on this flat ground. Everyone went to explore in different directions.

Lu Ming looked around and headed towards the village.

Although logically speaking, dealing with local indigenous people may be the most dangerous, it may also help you understand the world the fastest.

If that doesn't work, just clash your fists to see whose fist is harder.

Lu Ming walked on the muddy ground. This overly soft ground was very uncomfortable to walk on, as if it had just rained. It made him sink as he walked, and even his shoes were covered with thick mud.

But these were just minor troubles for him. With a little effort, the mud on his feet was shaken off.

He found it troublesome and even used telekinesis to cover his body, floating three feet above the ground and flying forward.

But suddenly, Lu Ming turned around and felt someone looking at him from behind.

Moreover, it was a kind of malicious peeping that made him alert instantly.

But he turned around and found nothing.
