After looking at the stone tablet, Qiao Mu silently rolled her eyes.
This Senior Xuanji just knew how to hoodwink people!
There clearly weren’t any more small rewards like the Xuanji Pill, yet she was still using secret treasures and spiritual weapons to entice people.
On the other hand, the giant ape rapped the stone tablet impatiently.
‘Will those participating in the trial please press your palm on the stone tablet. This will immediately start the timer, and those who leave the water before the target time will be deemed to have failed the training!’
This time, even the normally daring and rash Baili dunce hesitated, exchanging a glance with his sister Baili Zhen.
“If we don’t participate in the second round trial, we will be forcibly transferred out in five days.” Fan Qiuming clenched his teeth while stepping up, concluding, “There simply isn’t any other choice.”
Seeing that even Fan Qiuming, this overcautious opponent, went up to imprint his palm, Hong Bawei also walked up, unwilling to be left behind.
The two people imprinted their palms one after the other. Subsequently, a white light enveloped them and promptly transferred them away.
After watching them leave one by one, Qiao Mu exchanged a glance with Xiao Mi before moving next to her. She grabbed a bundle of fire spirit talismans and stuffed them into Xiao Mi’s hands. “Don’t force yourself too much.”
Xiao Mi nodded before getting transferred away the next second.
After seeing that the place was now empty of people, Qiao Mu took out a meat bun and chomped down on it.
Yet when she turned her head, she saw the giant ape grimacing at her, once again wearing an expression that looked like it expected better from her.
Qiao Mu quickly looked down at herself. What’s up, what’s up? She had already advanced a level. Compared to most of the other people here, she had worked hard enough! Why was it still looking at her with that gaze?
Suddenly, that giant ape grabbed her small hand and pressed it directly onto the stone tablet.
Qiao Mu widened her eyes.
The next second, she felt her body lightening as she too got transferred away.
The most hateful thing was that that ape even snatched the meat bun that she had only taken one bite out of!
Qiao Mu shivered the instant that the icy, bone-chilling water in the glacial pond enveloped her.
Yet soon, just like when she was going to the secret realm, a warm stream overflowed from her chest and circulated around her body. It caused her to inadvertently stretch out her arms and legs and start swimming in the pond.
It was quite a sublime feeling to be completely encased by water.
Even though thiis glacial pond was the one that led up to the entrance, the water here was more frigid than the area at the entrance.
However, this was no problem at all for her, and Qiao Mu swam a circle around the pond like a loose cannon. When she focused her gaze, she saw that Ying Jian and his brother had encased themselves in their defensive barriers nearby. They were even shivering inside the water with ashen faces.
These two people looked quite miserable!
Kicking her small legs, Qiao Mu swam over happily and made two circles around the two’s defensive barriers.
Ying Jian just stood inside his transparent defensive barrier and watched with terror at the little lady who was encircling them.
What are you planning to do??
Ying Jian’s eyeballs almost popped out from his glare.
After circling around them three times, she stopped and muttered to herself, “Hm, how much might does my diamond-fortified hand wield in the glacial pond?”
After saying this, a jade light flashed on her hand, and the diamond talisman buffed Qiao Mu’s hand into a steel claw. Subsequently, she clawed directly at Ying Jian’s defensive barrier.
Thud! The defensive barrier warded off the first claw.
