Chapter 396 Do You Think You'Re Funny?Chapter 396 Do You Think You're Funny?
At 8 am, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived! At this moment, Isabel and
representatives from other hidden forces were standing on the high platform as judges.
In addition, standing next to Isabel was a stunning figure. It was none other than Phoebe, the
beautiful young master of Hudpids Sect!
Phoebe was dressed in combat gear today and carried a long sword emitting an aura of sharpness.
"Phoebe will also participate in today's personal ranking trial. However, she won't harm anyone
unless necessary," announced Isabel.
Upon hearing this announcement, the faces of all the participants turned slightly serious. Especially
Benjamin from Golden Blade Sect and Finn from the Wynter family; they both had early Core
Formation strength and believed that they could compete for first place today. But with Phoebe
joining in as another strong opponent, their hopes of winning first place became slim.
Furthermore, Nathaniel from Black Moon Cult also looked gloomy upon hearing this news.
Isabel continued to talk about other matters after announcing this news. She only made an
announcement without seeking agreement or consent from any participant since it was organized
by Hudpids Sect; their rules were absolute.
Next, Hudpids Sect presented the prizes for this competition. The first-place reward was a divine
sword named Frost Soul Divine Sword, emitting a substantial chill that clearly marked it as an
extraordinary weapon."This Frost Soul Divine Sword has already developed a sword spirit, making it the reward for the
first place in this ranking!" Isabel declared, drawing the sword.
Then, she glanced at Phoebe beside her, and Phoebe responded with a smile, showing a hint of
expectation.
Everyone's gaze turned fiery as they looked at this sword with inherent icy properties, especially
since it already had a sword spirit.
A weapon, once it possessed spirituality, ceased to be lifeless. After nurturing and becoming familiar
with it, the weapon could synchronize with its master's intentions, unleashing more terrifying power
in battle. It might even evolve additional abilities and divine powers.
Despite the envy in everyone's eyes, they knew that the ownership of the Frost Soul Divine Sword
had already been decided. Common sense told them it was prepared as a trial reward for the
Hudpids Sect's young master.
At this moment, Isabel took out another treasure-a sword. With a length of a meter and a half, it
exuded an ancient and sturdy aura.
"This Glacier River Dragon Sparrow Blade, like the Frost Soul Divine Sword just now, is also crafted
from thousand-year cold iron. In terms of material and craftsmanship, it is on par with the Frost Soul
Divine Sword, but it lacks a weapon spirit. Nevertheless, it is still a rare divine weapon, and in the
future, it may also develop a blade spirit. This sword is the additional reward for the second-place
ranking!" Isabel explained, stirring another wave of eager looks.
Following that, she revealed the third to fifth prizes: a powerful martial technique, an Uppecia Pill
that could aid practitioners in breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, and a protective body
armor.Apart from these, the top three participants from each family or independent cultivators also had the
opportunity to join Hudpids Sect and become disciples of this secluded sect.
As for participants beyond the fifth place, there were no additional rewards.
Savannah stood beside Lachlan at this moment, silently repeating to herself, "Top three, I must
secure a spot in the top three! Joining Hudpids Sect!"
This talented girl from the Graham family saw things clearly. Although the Graham family managed
to retain its aristocratic status in this Clan Grand Competition, there was no guarantee they would
be as fortunate in the subsequent competitions. Especially if the one hosting the Clan Grand
Competition was the secluded Wood family, the Graham family would face even greater risks.
However, if she could join Hudpids Sect and become one of its disciples, it would mean that the
Graham family had affiliated with this secluded sect. If the secluded Wood family or the ancient
martial Wood family dared to make a move against the Graham family, they would have to weigh
their decisions carefully.
While it was said that the top three participants could qualify for joining Hudpids Sect, it practically
meant the second and third places.
Phoebe was practically guaranteed first place, having already been Hudpids Sect's young master.
Therefore, Savannah had to compete fiercely for either the second or third place.
However, apart from Phoebe, this trial also included two Core Formation experts, Benjamin and
Finn. The possibility of Savannah achieving her goal would undoubtedly be quite low.
"What about you?" Savannah turned her head towards Lachlan and asked. In her eyes, Lachlan's
participation seemed like a mere formality, perhaps to collect some herbs casually.However, at this moment, Lachlan's starry eyes were fixed on the Glacier River Dragon Sparrow
Blade on the high platform, where golden brilliance flickered.
"As for me? At least I'm aiming for second place!" Upon hearing this, Savannah was momentarily
stunned and then displayed an expression of speechlessness, accompanied by a dismissive sound.
"Landon, do you think you're quite humorous?" she commented with a smirk.
"Hehe..." Lachlan shrugged.
"Now, all participants, follow me. Before entering the Sacred Medicine Valley, no loud noises or
disputes are allowed. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Isabel declared, then gracefully
descended from the high platform and walked towards the depths of the Hudpids Sect domain.
The participating contestants, including Lachlan, followed suit without daring to be negligent,
maintaining a respectful silence.
Arlo shot a cold glance at Lachlan but refrained from saying anything. Killing this guy wasn't urgent;
they could settle things in the Sacred Medicine Valley.
Following Isabel and other members of Hudpids Sect, the group passed through the sect's buildings
and continued toward the sect's rear mountain.
noveldramaLachlan hadn't anticipated that the sect's domain would be so vast. The initial path was relatively
flat, but after traversing more than twenty miles, they entered a mountainous area.
After walking for a while, a cliff face appeared in front of them.
Isabel stopped and pressed a few times on the cliff. Suddenly, an elliptical light screen, over two
meters tall and more than a meter wide, appeared on the cliff."Sacred Medicine Valley is a secluded realm isolated from the outside world, and it can only be
opened once every three years. You are lucky to have caught it this time, leading to the individual
ranking trial. However, whether it's good fortune or misfortune for each of you depends on your own
destiny. Only those with strength below the Golden Core Realm can enter Sacred Medicine Valley.
Once inside, if any danger arises, rescue will be impossible. The realm will automatically close at
sunset today, and you will be transported out. Now is your last chance to reconsider. If anyone
wants to give up, leave now."
