Chapter 1485  Day One

The goat-headed calamity was Rank 3, and the small squirrel was Rank 5 Calamity. That was enough information for him not to enter the city. Even if he was confident about killing the Rank 3 Calamity, the terrain was bad. Even though the four calamities marked their territory in different areas. They were bound to attract the other calamities as the fight started.

Tang Shaoyang made a mental note to avoid the ruined city. That would be for a later time, ”We are not entering the city. The lowest is Rank 3, and thereʼs a Rank 5 Calamity inside.”

Vandir turned toward Tang Shaoyang, surprised to hear the decision. He thought they would at least try to fight one of the calamities since they were here. This was not the Tang Shaoyang he knew, overly cautious. Zara had the same reaction, but she was happy with the change. There was no need to take an unnecessary risk, especially when they had a lot of time.

Tang Shaoyang explored the gloomy area for another two hours and found more ruined cities. There were nine ruined cities each city occupied by the same calamity. He got the gist of the whole areaʼs strength and decided to avoid the area until they were ready for it.

The party continued their scouting as time went by quickly. He had gotten used to the fact that the sky did not change and was quite surprised when the sky darkened.

”That should be enough for today. We will return to the city and try to scout the other side tomorrow,” Tang Shaoyang decided to call it a day. After leaving the gloomy area, they did not really fight anymore.

Afi and Vandir asked to be recalled halfway because they did not really fight anything after leaving the gloomy area. After that area, they just encountered stronger calamities. As for Rank 1 Calamity? They could not find a single Rank 1 Calamity in the gloomy area and further. The lowest one was Rank 2 Calamity, and he only found three Rank 2 Calamity after exploring the whole day.

Recalling the path they took, the three quickly returned to the forest area. It took them less than an hour to reach the forest. The return journey was quite smooth. The Sorc Clan was not around to bother them anymore.

”They must get back earlier. Does that mean the stronger Calamity appeared at night?” Tang Shaoyang guessed. That might be the reason the Sorc Clan returned earlier even though they were quite close to the city. The strongest calamity he found was Rank 7 Calamity, just one. It was a massive bird, bigger than his True Dragon Form. Its wing covered the whole sky. It looked like the night arrived earlier just because of how big its body was.

”We also did not meet the other participants. Isnʼt that weird?” Zara pointed out something weird.

They did not meet a single participant even in the area of Rank 2 Calamity. Around five hundred people came out from the same gate, but they did not meet anyone.

The three came out of the forest and soon the city wall came into their sight. But there was something different. There was a crown at the gate. More than three hundred people gathered around the gate, and he quickly noticed the bear folks. Seven-three bear folks gathered in front of the gate. They were blocking the gate altogether.

”Arenʼt they going too far? Should we wipe them out?” Avyn furrowed her brow.

This was a trial, no territory belonged to anyone. Yet The Sorc Clan went this far just to catch Tang Shaoyang. Without a doubt, their target was Tang Shaoyang because no one entered the forest aside from him.

”They put an invisible barrier….” Tang Shaoyang muttered as he noticed the barrier blocked the entrance. The two old guards remained on their spot, doing nothing. Their stance was clear, as long as it was outside the gate, then they would not stop them. They set up the barrier outside, so he could not sneak into the city.

”I focused too much on exploring the area, and I forgot to test my new skill. Letʼs see how sturdy their barrier is.”

Tang Shaoyang picked up the pace. As he reached their range, he jumped past the bear folks. The bear folks did nothing, no, they were smiling, ʼThey are quite confident in their barrier, huh?ʼ

[Absolute Domination Energy]

The barrier was dispersed as he reached the range of the skill. The invisible barrier was destroyed by [Absolute Domination Energy], and he entered the city. He waved his hand at the two old guards, ”Good work, Old Man.”

The old guard to the left let out a chuckle, ”You should be more careful, youngʼun. This is your first day, and it looks like you already made an enemy. You should not make an enemy if you want to pass the trial safely.”

”Itʼs not me, old man. It was them who took me as their enemy. I did not even touch a single of their fur,” Tang Shaoyang stepped into the city, and the crowd was blocking the road.

The crowd came to watch for sure. They were curious about who antagonized The Sorc Clan and hoped for free entertainment. No one expected The Sorc Clan to do nothing when their target jumped over them.

”Yo! You guys are blocking the road!” Despite his reminder, the crowd just stood there, looking at him.

Tang Shaoyang just shook his head and jumped over the crowd just like how he did it with the Sorc Clanʼs members. He entered the city safely, and The Sorc Clan did not dare to make a ruckus inside the city for the fact that they did not chase after Tang Shaoyang.

Inside the city was the domain of the Administrator. Fighting inside the city would disqualify them from the trial. Even people with a big background did not dare to go against The Administrator.

”Eleven Rank 1 Calamity is not a bad harvest. We can sell the meat to that unique exotic restaurant and give Duvrag the rest.”

He halted the step on the square as he saw the big screen floating above the square. The screen showed the top 100 participants with the most points. He was surprised by the first-place point.
