The setting sun dipped below the horizon, casting the last rays of the scorching sun across the land, painting the sky with vast swathes of fiery clouds, adorning the parched desert with an incredibly beautiful scenery.

  Under this setting sun, there stood a majestic and spectacular city, proudly perched upon the desert. This city bore a name of utmost beauty; it was called Moon Night City.

  Legend has it that Moon Night City was a unique city bestowed by the gods upon the Devil’s Desert. Every time there was a full moon, Moon Night City would emit an extremely dazzling light. Any martial artist who could feel this light would make great progress at this time. However, despite its beauty, few knew the exact location of Moon Night City. To the vast majority of martial artists, it remained nothing but a legend.

  Xing Peng, accompanied by Xing Jianfeng and others, was now standing outside the city gates, a mere few hundred yards from Moon Night City. Their eyes sparkled with shock and excitement. This was the seventh day of their participation in the third trial of the White Tiger Academy. Finally, on the last day, they had arrived at Moon Night City. Stepping into Moon Night City meant that they would henceforth be part of the White Tiger Academy.

  However, although Moon Night City was only a few hundred yards away, this last stretch of the road seemed not so easy to traverse. For, in front of Xing Peng and his group lay an unfathomably deep abyss.

  This abyss was hundreds of yards wide, with a long chain stretching across it, one end connected to Moon Night City and the other to the desert. The abyss perfectly divided Moon Night City from their location, meaning they had to cross it to enter Moon Night City.

  When Xing Peng and his companions arrived, they were not the only ones there. The familiar faces of some old acquaintances, such as Lin Fei and Li Tianying, Heaven Level martial artists, had already arrived, surprising Xing Peng and his group.

  "Li Tianying, you're too fast, even getting here before me!" Jin Disan looked at Li Tianying with an incredibly cute gaze as soon as they arrived, his eyes filled with pure admiration, as if he was Li Tianying's ultimate fan.

  Hearing Jin Disan's voice, Li Tianying furrowed his brows and then glared at Jin Disan with a face full of annoyance, saying, "Haven’t I told you many times not to act innocent in front of me? Is there any point to this?"

  "Hehe, come on, we've been playmates since we were kids. Li Tianying, how can you always talk like this, aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces by my old man?" Jin Disan didn’t get angry at Li Tianying's hostility but joked very innocently instead.

  Li Tianying’s handsome face twitched, turning as red as a liver. Jin Disan's words had indeed stumped him. Although he wasn't afraid of Jin Disan, Jin Disan's father was not someone Li Tianying could contend with. He glared at Jin Disan fiercely and then turned his gaze away, adopting an out of sight, out of mind attitude. Seeing this, Jin Disan did not provoke Li Tianying further, as if the confrontation had been an illusion.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Xing Peng, standing in front of Jin Disan and witnessing the exchange between Li Tianying and Jin Disan, shook his head speechlessly. Through his interactions with Jin Disan over these days, Jin Disan had already informed him of Li Tianying's identity.

  Li Tianying and Jin Disan hailed from the same city. Li Tianying's status was no less than Jin Disan's, being the son of Hawk King Li Tianzheng! The Hawk King was also a very powerful King Level expert, not inferior to the Killer King. This was why Li Tianying dared to confront Jin Disan so.

  Li Tianying and Jin Disan could be said to have been fighting since they were kids, often finding each other disagreeable. Jin Disan always pretending to be innocent to provoke Li Tianying, so whenever they met, there would always be some quarrel. However, according to Jin Disan, despite their frequent quarrels, their relationship was not as incompatible as it seemed.

  Now, at the edge of the abyss, other martial artists witnessing Jin Disan and Li Tianying's quarrel, their eyes gleamed with a hint of schadenfreude.

  Looking around, excluding Xing Peng's group of trial participants, there were about forty other trial participants. This meant that out of over thirty thousand people who took part in the trial, only about a hundred had passed the tests.

  This number was brutally small. All those who came to the trial were considered geniuses in their respective families. Yet, after three trials, only about a hundred were still alive.

  At this moment, these trial participants stood quietly at the edge of the chain, none daring to rashly head towards Moon Night City. This bizarre situation left Xing Peng and his group quite perplexed, not making any hasty moves towards Moon Night City.

  Xing Peng frowned deeply, his gaze surreptitiously sweeping over these early-arriving trial participants. His 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen' technique was quietly deployed, unable to understand why these warriors would silently stay here. Wasn't the third trial supposed to require entering Moon Night City? Now, at the deadline of the seven-day period, who knew what might happen if they didn’t enter Moon Night City.

  Under the operation of the 'Heavenly Sight, Earthly Listen' technique, the soft whispers of some restless trial participants entered Xing Peng’s ears.

  "Hey, Liu Yun, what’s going on with White Tiger Academy's trial this time? Why is this trial so bizarre? Look at us, we’ve already passed two trials, right? Just one last step into Moon Night City, and we'll be able to join White Tiger Academy. But this last stretch is so weird. That Heaven Level martial artist who flew over just now ended up dead without a complete corpse. Even Heaven Level martial artists met such a tragic end, geez, what chance do we, Earth Level martial artists, have..."

  "Who knows! Let's just wait silently. Isn’t everyone here waiting? As long as we all wait here, I think White Tiger Academy won't eliminate us all!"

  "Hopefully, that's the case. Over thirty trial participants have tried to cross that chain, and not a single one survived, including two Heaven Level martial artists. I really don’t know how to cross this last trial..."

  Hearing the odd conversations of these earlier-arriving trial participants, Xing Peng was shocked. He hadn’t anticipated such a twist in the final trial.

  Although the cliff was hundreds of yards wide, such a cliff seemed to pose no difficulty for Heaven Level martial artists. Why then, did Heaven Level martial artists fall to their deaths without a complete corpse after flying over?

  Xing Peng couldn’t figure it out, truly perplexed. He slightly furrowed his brows and approached the early-arriving trial participants.
