In the trial grounds, Chen An had already advanced for more than fifteen minutes.
During this period, he did not encounter any obstacles.
The journey was smooth.
“How high is this mountain? With my speed that is so fast that it can’t be seen by the naked eye, I’ve advanced for more than a quarter of an hour, but I haven’t reached the top?”
Chen An was slightly surprised as he moved forward at high speed.
If he knew that he was still at the foot of the mountain, he would be even more surprised.
At this moment, the reason why he was still at the foot of the mountain was not because he was lost or something, but because this mountain was really too tall.
It was so tall that it seemed to pierce through the sky and lead to an unknown universe.
Buzz!
Suddenly, an air-piercing sound rang out!
Chen An, who was moving forward at high speed, saw a huge fist charging at him, targeting his Heavenly Gate.
The moment the fist was about to hit him, Chen An kicked his calf hard and shifted his body in an extremely short period of time, avoiding the punch safely.
“Oh? Your physical strength is not bad. You can react and dodge my sneak attack.”
A burly man as tall as a small mountain stood firmly in Chen An’s path and looked down at him.
When Chen An heard the words “human cultivator”, he asked, “You’re the forest obstacle—the demon?”
In this forest, Chen An could not mobilize the spiritual power in his body. He could not see through the man in front of him at all.
The man said unhappily, “Demon? I think smart people should call me a Demon Immortal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man leaped up. His huge body instantly covered the sky and pressed down on Chen An like a mountain.
In the face of this attack, Chen An only silently raised his fist and threw an ordinary punch at the man who was suppressing him.
The next moment!
There was a loud bang!
The man’s chest was pierced through by a punch, and he turned into a huge ape that fell heavily to the ground. His life force was quickly lost, and he was on the verge of death.
“You, your body clearly doesn’t feel very strong. How can you heavily injure me with a single punch?”
The man spat out blood in pain and endured the pain.
“Because I used a Deliberate Fist that doesn’t need to consume spiritual energy…” Chen An said.
He did not tell the man this answer. Instead, he slowly walked in front of the man and broke one of the man’s arms with a crack. The man screamed in pain.
After that, he said calmly, “I want to know everything about this forest. Tell me everything you know, and I might spare your life. Otherwise… I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the man’s other arm and broke it with a crack. It was so painful that the man’s eyeballs protruded. They were covered in hideous blood vessels and he kept screaming.
“Tell you, I’ll tell you everything!”
The man cried out in pain.
Chen An was too ruthless.
He was afraid.
In order not to be tortured, he quickly told Chen An everything he knew.
A moment later.
Chen An learned everything.
The forest under his feet, which was also the so-called trial ground, was actually a cage that imprisoned evil demons.
Or rather, they were kept in captivity.
As a righteous faction, the Hundred Spirit Holy Land had a certain responsibility to maintain order.
As long as there were evil cultivators or demons who did evil in the jurisdiction, they would send disciples to kill them in the form of a holy land mission.
Although it was said to kill demons, most of the time, it only subdued and did not kill.
After subduing the demons, they would all be sent to this mountain forest to be imprisoned.
When he needed to use these demon places, he would come to this mountain forest to take them.
For example, refining pills, making talismans, and so on.
Therefore, these imprisoned demons were basically no different from white mice in his previous life.
“I see. As long as the demons in this forest are all jinxes who have committed evil outside, I won’t have any psychological burden when killing them.”
Chen An looked at the man on the ground with a harmless smile.
When the man heard this, his expression changed drastically.
“Wait, you said that as long as I tell you everything I know, you’ll let me go…”
“… Bang!”
Before the man could finish speaking, he was punched in the head by Chen An. He died on the spot and entered an unknown reincarnation.
After dealing with the man, he reached out and pried open the man’s chest, taking out a very beautiful red bead.
It was a demon core, an Immortal Demon Core.
“How naive of you to believe what I say.”
Chen An looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered softly.
Then, he put away the demon core and continued to move up.
However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and rubbed his chin as he muttered,
“Immortal-grade demon cores are quite valuable. If there’s a lot of them, I feel that the benefits won’t be inferior to the rewards obtained after winning the championship.”
“Yes, I’ve changed my mind. Whether I win or not, hunting demons and collecting demon cores is the most important thing.”
“Swipe!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his method of advancement became to circle around the mountain, wanting to kill all the demons he encountered.
At the same time, in other parts of the forest, many trial participants encountered demons, which were those who had committed heinous crimes.
As long as they encountered it, they were basically not a match. They were instantly killed and then left the trial ground safely with the teleportation talisman.
It was not that these participants were weak, but that the physical strength of the demons was high. Coupled with the fact that they had been locked up for too long, their hostility was very strong. Be it attack power or attack power, they were terrifying. They killed everyone they saw.
Most of the contestants avoided him when they saw him.
Only Chen An was an anomaly. He took the initiative to chase after the demons in the forest.
An hour later.
In a certain swamp.
“Hmm? Another damn human has delivered himself to my door? Kneel down and lick my feet. I can consider letting you live.”
“Bang!”
Chen An punched a toad that covered the sky and took its demon core away.
At this moment, he sensed that a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Hall hundreds of meters away seemed to be entangled by a demon and could not escape.
This was the first fellow disciple he had encountered since he came to the trial grounds.
His gaze passed through the gaps in the leaves and saw the female cultivator’s appearance.
It turned out to be the seeded contestant of the Martial Hall, Qu Jiaqing.
Not only was Qu Jiaqing beautiful, but she was also very strong. Her cultivation was as high as the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, and she was the hottest candidate for the champion of this year’s Newcomer Trial.
However, in the previous Simulation Trial, this popular contestant could not even withstand a finger from Chen An. He was stabbed to death by Chen An’s finger. They were not on the same level at all.
“Let’s go take a look.”
With that thought in mind, Chen An quickly walked in the direction of the female cultivator.
It was not to be merciful and save people but to hunt demons and take their demon cores.
Saving people was just a matter of convenience.
However, when he appeared in front of this female cultivator from the Martial
Hall, he only received a cold look from the female cultivator. “Scram!”
