Chapter 1: Starting at the Extreme Yin Island
The wind howled, the rain poured down, and the waves crashed against the rocks, creating large white sprays.
A black sailboat sailed out from the sea and crashed into the reefs without slowing down, resulting in a collision.
Surprisingly, at the moment of the collision, a layer of bone-white light appeared on the surface of the black sailboat.
With a deafening roar, the massive reef was shattered, while the black sailboat remained completely undamaged.
A moment later, the black sailboat passed through a transparent light curtain, stirring up ripples like water.
Inside this light screen, however, it was completely unaffected by the storm outside; instead, the weather was calm and sunny, with only gentle ripples.
As soon as the large ship docked, three streaks of light flew out from the ship and landed on the pier, revealing three men dressed in identical black clothing with blood patterns.
"Senior Brother Wu, why are you on duty today?"
The three men were all strong and robust, yet they bowed deeply to a short, thin man with a face covered in black pockmarks.
"What? Is that not allowed?!"
The man surnamed Wu's eyes sharpened, and a burst of black energy suddenly erupted from his body.
The three people on the boat immediately shuddered and quickly bowed even lower.
"No, no, no! It was Junior Brother who spoke out of turn!"
"Junior brother caught a golden knife fish on his recent outing; he'll present it to senior brother later!"
...
"Hmph, how did things go? Were any of those brats any of them any good?"
The man surnamed Wu snorted coldly, but pressed on further, withdrawing his imposing manner and asking.
"The vast majority of disciples passed the trial, including some ruthless ones, but there was one person... who didn't lift a finger from beginning to end."
The man in black who was leading the group hesitated slightly before speaking.
"Oh? According to the rules, you don't get to eat if you don't fight. He'd rather starve to death than kill someone for the trial?"
The man surnamed Wu immediately became interested.
"Yes, he hasn't eaten a single grain of rice for more than half a month. He's been lying at the bottom of the hold without begging for mercy. He's probably starved to death by now."
The man in black replied with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Hahaha, you're a tough nut to crack, but you've come to the wrong place. There's no place for such a blockhead on my Extreme Yin Island."
It's a pity he starved to death, otherwise I would have definitely teased him properly!
The man surnamed Wu burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, that's really laughable."
A man in black, with a keen eye, chimed in with a smile.
"Haha, isn't that funny?"
The man surnamed Wu smiled and looked at him.
"certainly!"
The man in black replied matter-of-factly.
But the next moment, the man surnamed Wu's face darkened, and he said coldly:
"Did I make you laugh? Come here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black chain flew out from the man surnamed Wu's hand and immediately bound the laughing man in black tightly.
Immediately, he used his escape light to fly towards a mountain peak with the black-clad man.
"Senior Brother Wu, I was wrong! Spare me! Spare me!"
The two who remained behind heard only a plea for mercy, and then there was no further movement from their companion. They trembled and dared not raise their heads for a long time.
After an incense stick had burned for a while, the person on the right finally spoke, his face grim:
"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Liu, he..."
"Shut up! Don't mention Junior Brother Liu again! Senior Brother Wu is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and could form his core at any time. Besides, he's a relative of our ancestor. We... well, just don't mention him."
Wang Kun shouted sharply, then a hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Alright, let those brats off the ship. Hopefully, some of them will be promising talents, otherwise we'll have to step in."
Nie Shan nodded, then turned and flew back to the large ship.
Moments later, hundreds of young men and women dressed in black robes with bone patterns filed off the ship. Some looked excited, while others looked dejected. The only thing they had in common was their hands stained with blood.
"Senior Brother Wang, come quick!"
Suddenly, Nie Shan's voice came from inside the cabin.
"What happened now?!"
Wang Kun felt a sudden surge of irritation and immediately leaped up and entered the cabin.
Soon, he stood beside Nie Shan, frowning as he looked at his feet.
"This kid hasn't starved to death yet!"
"Senior Brother Wang, what should we do? According to the rules, only disciples who pass the trials can return to the island. He..."
Nie Shan suddenly realized that the matter was extremely difficult to handle.
"To be precise, there's no such rule. It's just that those who didn't complete the trial before were all killed, and this kid is the only one who survived by enduring hunger!"
Wang Kun also disliked situations without explicit rules, as it meant that they could make mistakes no matter what they did.
"Senior brother, why don't we just pretend he's dead and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!"
A fierce glint flashed in Nie Shan's eyes, and he slashed down with his palm.
"No! Have you forgotten what Senior Brother Wu said earlier?"
Wang Kun's eyes darted around, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally made a decision:
"Give him a Qi and Blood Pill, let him disembark on his own. If Senior Brother Wu asks about it later, we'll say that the kid survived a great calamity. If he doesn't ask..."
"Then let's pretend we know nothing!"
Nie Shan understood Wang Kun's meaning.
Do nothing wrong, but leave yourself a way out!
"Hurry up and get to it, I'll go and deliver that golden knife fish."
Wang Kun urged them on and then turned and left the cabin.
"You're lucky!"
Nie Shan reached to his waist and patted it, and a small white jade bottle immediately fell into his hand.
After a flash of pain across his face, Nie Shan opened the bottle and held it to the mouth of the boy on the ground.
"You brat, open your mouth!"
"I'm starving! I'm dying of hunger!"
As if stimulated by the aroma of the medicine, the boy on the ground suddenly "stood up," grabbed the small white jade bottle with both hands, and frantically shook it toward his mouth.
"My elixir! You little beast!"
Seeing this, Nie Shan became anxious and instinctively wanted to kick the boy hard, but he was afraid of accidentally kicking the dying guy to death, so he could only pull his leg back.
When he finally broke free from the boy, five of the originally full Qi and Blood Pills were gone, more than half of the bottle was gone!
"You little bastard, you'll stuff yourself to death!"
Nie Shan had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.
Just as he was about to leave, out of sight, out of mind, he caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of his eye.
Reaching out to take it, I saw that it was round and fluffy, with two eyes on the front that looked like they were made of crystal. It looked like a common children's plush toy.
However, upon closer inspection with one's divine sense, one discovers that the interior contains many ingenious and ingenious mechanisms, which is truly strange!
"Hmph, consider it compensation!"
Nie Shan didn't think much of it and casually put it into his storage bag.
However, they did not notice that the doll's crystal eyes had dimmed and lost their liveliness.
