Chapter 957: Blood-colored Gate, Terrifying Trial

TL: GoldenLung 

Lan Xuanyu actually wanted to ask, "Aren't you Teacher Tang's own son? How would I know?"

Ding Zhuohan blinked his eyes, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding. Since acknowledging this father he had never known for many years, he had been following him closely! But today his attitude seemed a little off! He didn't even glance at him.

But most people had not yet realized the problem, and they all seemed excited. They were looking forward to the life in the Inner Court and military service that was about to come.

At this moment, Qian Lei was chatting with Liu Feng with pride. "Crazy, our Sky Fighter points can be exchanged for military merits. It should be quite a lot. I think becoming a Major is the minimum, maybe even a Lieutenant Colonel. We will be officers in the future!"

Liu Feng glanced at him and said, "What's the use? Actually, I hope to start from scratch, starting as an ordinary soldier." 

Qian Lei waved his hand and said, "That's impossible. We are graduates of Shrek Academy, the elite. My abilities won't be allowed to start from scratch! Have you ever seen a Soul Sage starting from scratch? Hahaha. In the future, I will become a man who reaches the level of a god." 

"Your eyes are about to pop out of your head. Shut up," Lan Mengqin said irritably and kicked him.

Qian Lei chuckled and rubbed his head. "Wife, can't I be happy? Teacher Nana was rescued, and finally we can breathe a sigh of relief. I've been in a great mood lately! By the way, if we join the army this year, we may not be able to make it to the Sea God Fated Blind Date Festival. When we come back, I'll confess my love to you again at the festival. I've heard that our academy's Sea God Fated Blind Date Festival is very interesting."

"Who's your wife? Shut up!" Lan Mengqin kicked him again, blushing.

Qian Lei chuckled and leaned over to her. No matter how Lan Mengqin punched and kicked him, he wasn't upset at all, and his face was full of happiness.

Since he had helped Lan Mengqin solve his mother's life force problem, there had indeed been some progress in their relationship, even though she still often spoke harshly to him on the surface. However, in reality, Lan Mengqin didn't resist when Qian Lei occasionally hugged her or anything like that. This made Qian Lei feel so happy that he almost felt like he could fly. Especially after graduating smoothly, this sense of happiness only increased, and he now felt like a winner in life!

Just then, Tang Zhenhua, who was walking at the front, stopped in his tracks, and only then did Qian Lei realize that they had been led into a small alley. In front of Tang Zhenhua was a door that was strangely colored dark red. At first glance, it gave the feeling that blood was flowing down the door.

Tang Zhenhua took out something and stuck it on the door. The dark red door then opened silently. A faint chill seeped out from inside the door, causing even the leading Lan Xuanyu and others to shiver involuntarily.

Tang Zhenhua did not allow them to enter directly, but turned around to face the Thirty-Three Sky Wing as he said, "When you enter this door, each of you will be transported to a separate location for the trial. There are no teams, no mechs. The only thing you can rely on is yourself. You will face all kinds of enemies. The method to pass the trial is simple: when you have killed ten thousand people, you can come out. If you can't kill enough, you can't come out. By the way, I want to remind you that there is controversy within the academy because you all entered the Inner Court together, and it is believed that your assessment was not selective enough. Therefore, if anyone cannot successfully complete the trial and instead suffers a mental breakdown and withdraws from the trial, they will not be allowed to enter the Inner Court. Okay, let's go in now."

The people who were still happy in the back were suddenly stunned after hearing Tang Zhenhua's words.

Wasn't this supposed to be an intensive training session? How did it turn into a trial? And, if one fails, one would be eliminated and could not enter the Inner Court?

"Teacher Tang, is this true? Haven't we already been allowed to enter the Inner Court? Why are we still being assessed?" Qian Lei couldn't help but ask.

The other students beside him had the same expression.

Tang Zhenhua coldly snorted, "Do you think that entering the Inner Court guarantees your place? Let me tell you the truth, there is also a high elimination rate within the Inner Court. Entering the Inner Court does not mean you will definitely graduate from it. This is your first assessment since entering the Inner Court. Those who fail will be eliminated. The completion time of this trial will determine your evaluation in this assessment, as well as the kind of position you will have in the military in the future. You will still be dispersed during the trial of the Seventh Fleet and will not be together. Now, begin. Anyone who does not enter within one minute will be deemed to have given up."

As they listened to Tang Zhenhua's icy voice, everyone felt like they had just been splashed with cold water. The first trial in the Inner Court had arrived so suddenly. Although the Douluo world was only a simulated time and not real, if they were eliminated, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Lan Xuanyu didn't say anything else, he didn't even cheer on his teammates. He was the first to step into the blood-red gate and disappeared inside.

He couldn't help his classmates forever. Everyone had to walk their own path. He had done everything he could. Entering the Inner Court and being able to stay depended on their own abilities. This trial was even more important in testing their individual abilities and willpower.

At this moment, he couldn't help others. Everyone had to rely on themselves to get through it.

"Kill ten thousand people! A horrifying trial!"

The second person to enter was Tang Yuge, her expression was calm, even a little indifferent. She strode in without any hesitation. Ever since her background was revealed, her emotions had not been very good, including during the graduation exam before. After the graduation exam ended, she didn't even go back home. Because she didn't know how to face them.

The others walked in one after another. Some of them had already understood the situation and their expressions became calm. Others were still in a somewhat confused state. However, they all realized that this trial was probably not going to be easy.

Tang Zhenhua watched all the students enter the gate before he closed the bloody gate and his icy expression returned. He muttered to himself, "The academy is harsh! They actually let these children participate in the Blood Trial. This should only happen after one or two years of study in the Inner Court. It seems that their mission to the front line won't be easy. The Blood Trial doesn't belong to the Douluo World itself, to be precise, ordinary people cannot enter this place through simulation pods because it is too difficult for them and can easily cause psychological trauma. It was developed by researchers from Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, specifically as an add-on that hangs in an area within the Douluo World. Only personnel approved by Shrek Academy and Tang Sect can enter.

In fact, major forces also had their own exclusive areas like this, and as long as they paid a certain fee to the federation, they would be able to keep them.

In fact, the Douluo World itself was a source of huge profits for the Federation. After Tang Zhenhua sent them in, he quickly left the Douluo World and went straight to Ying Luohong's office.

At this point, many people had already gathered in the office. If Lan Xuanyu were here, he would have found that he only knew a few of these people, and most of them he didn't recognize.

Among them were Wang Tianyu, Ying Luohong, Xiao Qi, and Tang Zhenhua, all of whom were known to Lan Xuanyu and his group, while the rest were all new faces to them. Undoubtedly, these people all came from the Inner Court of Shrek Academy.
