Chapter 58: The Start of the Third Trial

  "Envoy, can you also give me some food?" Seeing that Xing Peng and others had received food, another blue-shirted trial participant boldly asked the red-haired middle-aged man. The situation with Xing Peng and others had made many people envious.

  "You want food too?" The red-haired middle-aged man squinted at the trial participant who asked, with a trace of mockery in his eyes.

  "Yes! Please, envoy, give me some food. I'm so hungry I can hardly stand it. If I don't eat something soon, I will starve to death here." The blue-shirted trial participant saw the mockery in the red-haired middle-aged man's eyes, broke out in a cold sweat, and said cautiously after swallowing hard.

  When he spoke, a chill went down his spine, and his heart was filled with nervousness. He was very uncertain whether his words would anger the red-haired envoy.

  "Hehe, starve to death! Is it that easy to starve to death? You, my boy, are also an Earth Level late-stage martial artist, you should be able to go without food for ten days to half a month." The red-haired middle-aged man laughed.

  "But... but I've been hungry for more than ten days now, I really can't take it anymore. Envoy, please give me some food. I'm not asking for much, I don't need roast duck, anything will do." The blue-shirted trial participant looked pitifully at the red-haired middle-aged man, full of longing.

  "Don't look at me with those eyes; I don't like being stared at like that." The red-haired middle-aged man glared fiercely at the blue-shirted trial participant, "Remember, you are participating in White Tiger Academy's trial. How could a trial not involve hardships!"

  "Envoy, I know I'm participating in White Tiger Academy's trial, and I know that trials are meant to be hard, but... but they are also trial participants, and they got to eat roast duck, so I also want to eat something." The blue-shirted trial participant bit his teeth, pointed at Xing Peng and others with his finger, looking like he was ready to risk everything.

  "Tsk, tsk! Admirable courage! However, wanting food... there's none!" The red-haired middle-aged man pursed his lips.

  "Why... why don't I get any!" The blue-shirted trial participant said, somewhat unwillingly.

  "Are you really that stupid, or are you pretending? Do you really want me to take action and kill you?" The red-haired middle-aged man's eyes emitted a cold light, causing the blue-shirted trial participant to suddenly shut his mouth, and as he closed his mouth, he involuntarily took two steps back, looking at the red-haired middle-aged man with a face full of shock and deep resentment in his eyes.

  Being trial participants of the same status, he merely wanted to ask for some food casually, and yet the red-haired envoy was prepared to execute him. This unfair treatment made the blue-shirted trial participant feel extremely aggrieved.

  Not only the blue-shirted trial participant felt aggrieved, but the other trial participants nearby also felt the injustice, watching the red-haired envoy with complex expressions. If not for the significant difference in strength between them, they might have all rushed up and killed the red-haired middle-aged man.

  Of course, while some were resentful, not all trial participants felt this way. Some warriors, like Li Tianying and Lin Fei, didn't have much of a reaction to the red-haired middle-aged man's words, remaining calm in the crowd without voicing any opinions.

  Seeing the red-haired middle-aged man act this way, Jin Disan smiled at Xing Peng, who responded with a smile. Then, taking the wine that Jin Disan handed over, he took a few sips and passed it to the other Xing family juniors.

  Xing Jianfeng and the other Xing family juniors, while gnawing on the roast duck, were inwardly shaken by the scene before them. It felt surreal to them that they could become a privileged class following Jin Disan, able to eat meat and drink wine while others starved.

  "Gulp!" The surrounding warriors were already very hungry, and now, being provoked by Xing Peng and others, they became even more unbearable. Most of the trial participants cast their eyes on Xing Peng and the others, their eyes filled with greed, envy, jealousy, and resentment.

  If it weren't for the red-haired envoy being there, and Jin Disan's strength and identity not being something they could easily confront, they would definitely have rushed up and snatched the roast duck and fine wine from Xing Peng and others.

  Half the time of a tea break is not long. As the surrounding trial participants endured their torment, time quickly passed. When half the time of a tea break had elapsed, Jin Disan and others had already finished the food and drink in their hands.

  "You should all have had enough rest by now. Now, I announce that the third trial officially begins. This time, you need to walk out of the desert and find Moon Night City. As long as you can reach Moon Night City, you will have passed the test and can join the outer gate of White Tiger Academy." The red-haired middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward, looking around at the hungry and weak trial participants.

  "Moon Night City? Walk out of the desert?"

  "What place is Moon Night City? And how wide is this desert exactly?"

  Hearing this, the trial participants looked at each other, their eyes filled with solemnity. Although the third trial had officially begun with the announcement from the red-haired middle-aged man, allowing them to make their final effort, the unknown desert before them also imposed a deep pressure on them.

  With the examples of the first two challenges, they were very aware that this desert test would not be simple. If it were simple, it wouldn't have been chosen as the third challenge.

  "May I ask, envoy, what is the name of this desert, and how big is it? Are there fierce beasts hiding in the desert?" Lin Fei suddenly asked, looking seriously at the red-haired envoy.

  "This place is called the Nameless Desert, it is boundless and unfathomable. As for whether there are fierce beasts hiding, that is something you will have to explore for yourselves." The red-haired envoy said with a smile.

  "Envoy, I have another question, is there a time limit for this challenge?" Lin Fei asked.

  "Yes! I give you seven days. Those who cannot find Moon Night City within seven days will be eliminated!" The red-haired middle-aged man looked around at the trial participants, his face becoming serious, "Do you think I'm cruel and heartless? Do you think I'm biased? Let me tell you, this is the rule of this world - survival of the fittest. As long as you can pass the test and show your potential, you will naturally receive privileges that ordinary people cannot."

  "Additionally, a friendly tip: the desert is not entirely made of sand. There are oases here as well. If you are lucky, you can naturally find food!"

  "Alright, youngsters, start making your way towards Moon Night City. I'll be waiting for you in Moon Night City, hoping you all can pass the test!" The red-haired middle-aged man said, and then his figure suddenly flashed, leaping forward, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a bolt of lightning.
