So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

The bell with an ancient atmosphere rang again, echoing outside the entire secret realm.

As the sound of the bell faded away, the voice of a white-haired old man slowly sounded, his words revealing majesty and solemnity.

"Please ask all the major families to count the number of people taking the trial, the secret realm will be closed soon."

The old man's voice sounded like the sound of an ancient bell, inspiring awe in people.

After a while, the entrance to the secret realm slowly closed. The old man walked to the front of the stage, glanced at everyone, and then announced that the trial was officially over.

He stood on the stage, overlooking the people below. Representatives from each family stood in their respective positions, waiting for the results to be announced.

"Now, please ask all the disciples who participated in the trial to report the results of the trial."

The old man spoke slowly. Although his voice was calm, it made everyone present feel nervous.

After all, the result of each secret trial is related to the status of each major family.

It is precisely because of this that the Wen family asked the young master of the Wen family to use the Fire Cloud Pill in order to get a place.

In this era, there is another principle besides the law of the jungle.

Family interests are above all else!

The judging criteria for this trial are based on the number and quality of spirit beasts hunted and spirit beads obtained.

The higher the quality and quantity of the spirit beads the disciples obtain, the higher their ranking will be.

This is not only a test of their strength, but also a test of their wisdom and courage.

The old man's eyes were as sharp as torches, sweeping across the faces of each disciple, as if he wanted to see through their hearts.

"Please be careful with your words and actions, all the families. Today, there are Statue Stones everywhere, and everyone's every move can be seen! If anyone attempts to cheat, they will be severely punished!"

After hearing the old man's words, everyone focused their minds and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

They knew that the outcome of this trial would affect their status in the family and their future prospects.

Afterwards, the disciples who participated in the trial walked forward one by one with their storage bags and handed over the spirit beast inner elixirs and spirit beads they obtained in the secret realm to the statisticians.

Everyone's face was filled with nervousness and anticipation, and everyone hoped that they could achieve good results.

The statisticians were busy recording the results of each disciple, while the audience below were whispering and discussing the results of the trial.

About half an hour later, the old man walked to the front of the stage again, holding a booklet in his hand and with a serious expression on his face.

He glanced at everyone, then slowly announced the results of the trial.

"Stand up, and begin announcing the trial results. The rankings will be arranged from the back to the front..."

Everyone's heart was in their throat, afraid that they had missed any name.

Ling Jiuan stood there quietly, waiting for the results to be announced.

But she also believed that no one would be ahead of her!

The old man's voice was loud and steady, echoing in everyone's ears and clearly transmitted to every corner outside the secret realm.

He announced slowly.

"There are a total of 138 people participating in this trial."

Then, he began to announce the rankings from the back to the front. Each name seemed to carry the power of a judgment, making everyone present hold their breath.

"No. 138, Wang family, Wang San..."

When the old man finished speaking, no one was surprised at all.

Among the younger generations of the Wang family, Wang Yangming was originally the strongest. Unfortunately, he lost to Ling Jiuan in the previous competition, and his training method was a bit unconventional and he had not yet fully recovered, so he did not participate in this trial.

After all, the Wang family was not willing to let him take the risk of entering the secret realm. If anything happened to him, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Wang family.

As the old man continued to announce the rankings, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

Everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing their own name.

Their expressions varied, some were nervous, while others showed a hint of anticipation.

Finally, when the old man announced the tenth place, everyone began to get restless.

Tenth place is an important watershed, representing a combination of strength and luck.

The old man spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the air.

"The tenth place is from the Wen family, Wen Dao. They have 75 ordinary spirit beads and one spirit bead for the initial stage of foundation building."

When Wen Dao heard his name, an excited look appeared on his face.

He walked forward, took the reward from the old man, and then returned to his original position.

Others began to whisper, discussing Wen Dao's results and their own rankings.

The air was filled with tension and anticipation.

As his ranking gradually moved up, Ling Jiuan's name was still not mentioned, which made Ling Jiuxi a little restless.

She frowned, an impatient look on her face, turned to look at Ling Jiuze beside her, and asked anxiously.

"Brother, could it be that bitch Ling Jiuan has hidden other foundation-building spiritual beads?"

Ling Jiuze glanced at Ling Jiuxi with a complicated expression. He was actually also secretly confused.

But he did not directly answer his sister's question, but spoke in a deep voice.

"Listen again, don't be impatient."

At this time, the old man had already begun announcing the results of the sixth place.

"Sixth place, Wen Lan of the Wen family, eighty-eight ordinary spirit beads, two first-level foundation-building spirit beads, and one second-level foundation-building spirit bead."

The old man's voice echoed in the air, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, her face became even uglier. She widened her eyes and stared at the old man closely, afraid of missing any name.

Then the old man continued to announce.

"Fifth place, 95 ordinary spirit beads, Wen family and Wen city, two foundation building second level spirit beads."

Such results are already very impressive.

So everyone is curious about how powerful the remaining four are.

Hearing this, Ling Jiuze's face turned ugly.

He was secretly confused.

Could it be possible that the loser Ling Jiuan really made it into the top four?

But, how is this possible?

How could she have such good grades?

Ling Jiuze searched for Ling Jiuan's figure in the crowd, trying to read some clues from her expression.

However, Ling Jiuan remained calm throughout, as if everything was within her expectations.

At this point, the tension in the air had reached its peak.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old man to announce the next ranking.

The old man took a deep breath and slowly announced the result of the fourth place.

"Fourth place, Ling Jiuze from the Ling family, one hundred and three ordinary spirit beads, two first-level foundation-building spirit beads, and three second-level foundation-building spirit beads."

Hearing this, Ling Jiuze subconsciously clenched his palms, and a gleam of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He froze in place.

How can it be?

How could Ling Jiuan, whom he regarded as a waste, achieve better results than him in the trial?

And Chen Yan, how could he be ranked ahead of me?
