At 8 am, everyone who was supposed to be there had already arrived! At this moment, Isabel and representatives from other hidden forces were standing on the high tform as judges.


    In addition, standing next to Isabel was a stunning figure. It was none other than Phoebe, the beautiful young master of Hudpids Sect!


    Phoebe was dressed inbat gear today and carried a long sword emitting an aura of sharpness.


    “Phoebe will also participate in today’s personal ranking trial. However, she won’t harm anyone unless necessary,” announced Isabel.


    Upon hearing this announcement, the faces of all the participants turned slightly serious. Especially Benjamin from Golden de Sect and Finn from the Wynter family; they both had early Core Formation strength and believed that they couldpete for first ce today. But with Phoebe joining in as another strong opponent, their hopes of winning first ce became slim.


    Furthermore, Nathaniel from ck Moon Cult also looked gloomy upon hearing this news.


    Isabel continued to talk about other matters after announcing this news. She only made an announcement without seeking agreement or consent from any participant since it was organized by Hudpids Sect; their rules were absolute.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Next, Hudpids Sect presented the prizes for thispetition. The first-ce reward was a divine sword named Frost Soul Divine Sword, emitting a substantial chill that clearly marked it as an extraordinary weapon.


    “This Frost Soul Divine Sword has already developed a sword spirit, making it the reward for the first ce in this ranking!” Isabel dered, drawing the sword.


    Then, she nced at Phoebe beside her, and Phoebe responded with a smile, showing a hint of expectation.


    Everyone’s gaze turned fiery as they looked at this sword with inherent icy properties, especially since it already had a sword spirit.


    A weapon, once it possessed spirituality, ceased to be lifeless. After nurturing and bing familiar with it, the weapon could synchronize with its master’s intentions, unleashing more terrifying power in battle. It might even evolve additional abilities and divine powers.


    Despite the envy in everyone’s eyes, they knew that the ownership of the Frost Soul Divine Sword had already been decided. Common sense told them it was prepared as a trial reward for the Hudpids Sect’s young master.


    At this moment, Isabel took out another treasure-a sword. With a length of a meter and a half, it exuded an ancient and sturdy aura.


    “This cier River Dragon Sparrow de, like the Frost Soul Divine Sword just now, is also crafted from thousand-year cold iron. In terms of material and craftsmanship, it is on par with the Frost Soul Divine Sword, but itcks a weapon spirit. Nevertheless, it is still a rare divine weapon, and in the future, it may also develop a de spirit. This sword is the additional reward for the second-ce ranking!” Isabel exined, stirring another wave of eager looks.


    Following that, she revealed the third to fifth prizes: a powerful martial technique, an Uppecia Pill that could aid practitioners in breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, and a protective body armor.


    Apart from these, the top three participants from each family or independent cultivators also had the opportunity to join Hudpids Sect and be disciples of this secluded sect.


    As for participants beyond the fifth ce, there were no additional rewards.


    Savannah stood beside L at this moment, silently repeating to herself, “Top three, I must secure a spot in the top three! Joining Hudpids Sect!”


    This talented girl from the Graham family saw things clearly. Although the Graham family managed to retain its aristocratic status in this n Grand Competition, there was no guarantee they would be as fortunate in the subsequentpetitions. Especially if the one hosting the n Grand Competition was the secluded Wood family, the Graham family would face even greater risks.


    However, if she could join Hudpids Sect and be one of its disciples, it would mean that the Graham family had affiliated with this secluded sect. If the secluded Wood family or the ancient martial Wood family dared to make a move against the Graham family, they would have to weigh their decisions carefully.


    While it was said that the top three participants could qualify for joining Hudpids Sect, it practically meant the second and third ces.


    Phoebe was practically guaranteed first ce, having already been Hudpids Sect’s young master. Therefore, Savannah had topete fiercely for either the second or third ce.


    However, apart from Phoebe, this trial also included two Core Formation experts, Benjamin and Finn. The possibility of Savannah achieving her goal would undoubtedly be quite low.


    “What about you?” Savannah turned her head towards L and asked. In her eyes, L’s participation seemed like a mere formality, perhaps to collect some herbs casually.


    However, at this moment, L’s starry eyes were fixed on the cier River Dragon Sparrow de on the high tform, where golden brilliance flickered.


    “As for me? At least I’m aiming for second ce!” Upon hearing this, Savannah was momentarily stunned and then disyed an expression of speechlessness, apanied by a dismissive sound.


    “Landon, do you think you’re quite humorous?” shemented with a smirk.


    “Hehe…” L shrugged.


    “Now, all participants, follow me. Before entering the Sacred Medicine Valley, no loud noises or disputes are allowed. Otherwise, don’t me me for being impolite!” Isabel dered, then gracefully descended from the high tform and walked towards the depths of the Hudpids Sect domain.


    The participating contestants, including L, followed suit without daring to be negligent, maintaining a respectful silence.


    Arlo shot a cold nce at L but refrained from saying anything. Killing this guy wasn’t urgent; they could settle things in the Sacred Medicine Valley.


    Following Isabel and other members of Hudpids Sect, the group passed through the sect’s buildings and continued toward the sect’s rear mountain.


    L hadn’t anticipated that the sect’s domain would be so vast. The initial path was rtively t, but after traversing more than twenty miles, they entered a mountainous area.


    After walking for a while, a cliff face appeared in front of them.


    Isabel stopped and pressed a few times on the cliff. Suddenly, an elliptical light screen, over two meters tall and more than a meter wide, appeared on the cliff.


    “Sacred Medicine Valley is a secluded realm isted from the outside world, and it can only be opened once every three years. You are lucky to have caught it this time, leading to the individual ranking trial. However, whether it’s good fortune or misfortune for each of you depends on your own destiny. Only those with strength below the Golden Core Realm can enter Sacred Medicine Valley. Once inside, if any danger arises, rescue will be impossible. The realm will automatically close at sunset today, and you will be transported out. Now is yourst chance to reconsider. If anyone wants to give up, leave now.”
