The next day, early in the morning, many candidates gathered in the central square again.

This time, it was the dean of Qingmu Academy, Mu Lin, who spoke.

Mu Lin glanced at the disciples in the square, nodded, and said, "The qualifying competition is about to begin. You already know the rules, but I still want to explain one more thing. Is there anyone who wants to quit? It's still not too late to quit."

"The Demonic Forest is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die in it. So, if anyone wants to quit, you can come out at any time."

After the voice fell, there was silence for a while, and some disciples really came out.

There were about a hundred people in total, who came out with their heads down, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Okay, in that case, you can leave." Mu Lin said calmly. He understood these children very well. After all, they grew up in the honeypot of the family and had rarely experienced cruel fighting. It would be difficult for them to accept such a life-threatening thing.

However, those who achieve great things must have courage. These children are still unable to overcome their timidity. It can only be said that they are not suitable for entering the Sword-asking Academy for the time being.

Because after officially entering the Sword-asking Academy, what they will face is more cruel and intense than the experience of the Demonic Forest.

"Is there anyone else?" Mu Lin asked again.

This time, no one came out again.

"Okay, now I declare that the qualifying competition officially begins. From now on, you will go to the Forest of Demonic Qi on your own. I don't care what method you use. After half a month, come out with the command flag. We will wait for you outside. Those who leave the Forest of Demonic Qi during the assessment period will be deemed to have waived their rights."

"Let's go!"

As soon as Mu Lin finished speaking, the disciples on the square were boiling with excitement. They cheered and jumped for joy, and quickly left the square and ran to the foot of the mountain.

Time starts from now, which means that the fierce competition has begun. Whoever can reach the Forest of Demonic Qi first can get more time, and time means points.

Lin Xiao followed the team and ran hard. While running, someone suddenly patted him. Lin Xiao looked back and didn't know who it was, so he didn't care. It might be that there were too many people and he accidentally touched him.

Soon, thousands of people came to the foot of the mountain and then dispersed in many directions.

Obviously, everyone has different understandings of the road to the Forest of Demonic Qi. Some people may go to the nearest road, while others may go to the farthest road.

After running down the mountain, Lin Xiao hesitated. He knew a road to the Forest of Demonic Qi, but he was not sure if it was the nearest one. The Forest of Demonic Qi had many entrances.

The distance of the road is actually very important. It can determine the time and energy you spend to reach your destination. Sometimes, it will also affect your mentality.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Lin Xiao remembered what Lin Feng had taught him. He did not run wildly with these disciples, but ran to a nearby town.

Lin Xiao bought a map and quickly browsed it. He found that there were more than ten roads to the Forest of Demonic Qi. The nearest one was only a dozen miles away, and the fastest way was half an hour. The farthest road required a hundred miles, at least half a day.

The road that Lin Xiao knew was in the middle, but it also took two hours.

Now, Lin Xiao spent more than ten minutes to find the best route, saving him more than an hour. Moreover, he bought a horse here and rode away.

In less than half an hour, Lin Xiao came to the outside of the Demonic Forest. To his surprise, there were more than a dozen horses tied here. It seemed that someone had arrived before him. These people should have known this nearest route early.

Lin Xiao no longer hesitated, tied up the horse, and quickly entered the Demonic Forest to look for the flag.

According to the rules of the game, the flags with lower scores should be distributed on the periphery of the forest. The deeper you go, the higher the flag score, and the more dangerous it is.

Lin Xiao planned to walk around the periphery first. After all, it was his first time here. He would first test the strength of the monsters here, and have a rough idea in his mind, and then make the next plan.

Not long after walking around the periphery, Lin Xiao soon found a flag, a yellow flag.

This yellow flag was inserted in the grass. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish it.

Lin Xiao was delighted. He didn't expect to find a flag so quickly.

After a few steps, he suddenly heard a shriek.

It was the sound of claws cutting through the air!

Lin Xiao was quick-witted and quick-handed. Before he turned his head, his fist had already hit the left side.

Bang!

With a miserable cry, a spirit-patterned leopard flew backwards, crashed into a big tree, and then fell heavily to the ground.

A fifth-level monster in the Gathering Spirit Realm, a spirit-patterned leopard!

This is just the periphery. There are fifth-level monsters in the Gathering Spirit Realm. It is unimaginable that if you go further in, there will definitely be more ferocious and powerful monsters. No wonder this place is called the Forest of Death.

The spirit-patterned leopard was hit by Lin Xiao's punch, and its head split open, and blood flowed continuously.

Although Lin Xiao is now at the peak of the seventh level of the Gathering Spirit Realm, with the blessing of the heavenly spiritual veins, his physical body is extremely strong, and he is almost invincible in the Transformation Spirit Realm. Naturally, this spirit-patterned leopard can't withstand his blow.

Lin Xiao walked over and killed the spirit pattern leopard with one punch, then spread out his palm, and a sword emitting white light condensed out.

Whoosh——

On the body of the spirit pattern leopard, a floating demon soul was directly sucked by the Devouring Soul Sword. The Devouring Soul Sword trembled slightly, and emitted a sword chant in excitement, as if it was longing for more demon soul nourishment.

Lin Xiao smiled, took the Devouring Soul Sword back into his body, and then came to the bushes. Just as he was about to reach out, suddenly, a poisonous snake jumped out of the bushes.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao reacted quickly, turned his head to avoid the teeth of the poisonous snake, and suddenly grabbed its head and squeezed it hard. With a click, the poisonous snake instantly lost its life.

"It was a close call." Lin Xiao threw away the body of the poisonous snake, exhaled a long breath, pulled out the yellow flag, and put it into the formation ring.

As expected of the name Death Forest, it is really dangerous everywhere, and you can't be careless at all. Lin Xiao thought, the further he goes, the more careful he has to be.

After getting a flag, Lin Xiao continued to walk around the periphery, but he went deeper than before.

Before he knew it, a few hours had passed and the sky was getting dark.

Now, Lin Xiao has got ten yellow flags, plus a green flag, which is thirteen points.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao planned to find a place to rest first, and then plan tomorrow's actions.

While walking, suddenly, Lin Xiao heard a fight coming from the front, and hurried over.
