The next day arrived in a flash. All the kids were then gathered as they waited for Elder Hulian to come forth. Finally, Hulian and quite a few other elders appeared once more.

"Good, it seems like everyone is here already." ​​

Elder Hulian began to walk in a certain direction.

"All of you kids and their relatives or protectors, follow me."

Everyone obeyed elder Hulian, and it wasn't long before they arrived in front of another enormous building. The disciples guarding the front noticed elder Hulian and immediately opened the door for him. Inside, one could see several formations of different sizes.

Hulian then guided the kids to the one in the very middle, which was the biggest.

"Alright, this is a teleport formation. It will teleport us to our private Demon Beast Forest. It can support one hundred people at once, so you will all take turns to enter it."

No one complained as they followed Hulian's orders. In just a minute, the first one hundred kids and adults accompanying them were already over the big formation. It soon activated, and with a flash of Silver Light, everyone disappeared.

All the kids were surprised by that. The majority saw such a thing for the first time. Still, no one dared to delay, and one group after another was teleported away.

Finally, Rean's group time came. They stepped on it with the others before the teleport formation activated. The space around Rean's group contorted before everything became blurry. Finally, it all became silver for a second when suddenly, they appeared in another place completely different.

Their sights came back to normal, and they could finally see where they were. It was another building, but this time, there was only one teleport formation inside it. Obviously, it was the one used for bringing them here.

As Rean and Roan stepped outside the building, they cleared noticed the forest a few kilometers away. Around the building, they could also see a few disciples who were probably responsible for defending the area against the demon beasts.

Around one hour later, everyone has already gathered again. Rean's group, obviously, didn't have any idea where this forest was located.

Noticing that everyone was there, Hulian began to float above them before he started talking.

"Very well, this is our Dalamu Private Demon Beast Forest. As I said before, the highest level of Demon Beasts in this place is only Stage Three. However, these ones can only be found around the core of the forest."

"On your right, you can see several bags prepared for you. They have food and water to last three to four days. After that, you will have to find food on your own. Don't worry, this Demon Beast forest has a lot of fruits, water, and all the Demon Beasts' meats are edible. There isn't a single poisonous type in their midst. If you can't find anything at all and decide to give up, just come back to this base. But remember that the exam will be over for you at that point."

"Another thing, attacking other participants is ultimately forbidden, let alone killing! The entire Demon Beast Forest is covered by a monitoring formation. If a participant dares to break this rule, they will be immediately eliminated from the exam, with no exceptions. Understood?"

All the kids nodded vigorously. The Sect wasn't here to create discord between their own members, but to get strong cultivators to protect, help expand, and be loyal to it. What future has a Sect full of internal conflict? Such a Sect would end over destroyed; it is that simple.

"The exam will last two weeks. Remember, you need 1000 points to pass. Also, there will be no one here to save you if something goes wrong, so don't try to bite off more than you can chew. The other groups might be forbidden to attack you, but the demon beasts don't give a damn! Keep that in mind."

"Each group received bracelets with some simple formations inscribed on them. Each time someone in your group gives a killing blow, the formation will record it. Make sure to not lose it since you would lose all your points. Oh, right! I almost forgot. If you want to give up and don't know the way back, just send your Spiritual Sense into the Bracelet. The formation inside will show you the way."

"Alright, I said too much already. The exam starts now!"

All the groups immediately rushed to the bags, trying to take more than one each. But the Outer Sect Disciples didn't allow them to do so. Each kid could only carry a single bag, that's all. It wasn't only a test of strength or ability, but also survival. The kids would need to adapt to this place on their own.

Rean and Roan were not in a rush. They waited for the kids to take their own bags and leave. They would be hunting in the Stage Two demon beasts' territory, so they are not afraid of running out of them. Finally, the space in front of the table opened, and everyone took a bag of food and water each.

"Should we go then?"

Roan nodded.

"There will be no point in waiting around the starting point, let's move far away first. After all, there were no rules saying that you can't steal someone else's demon beast. I can already see several groups ganging up on those Stage One demon beasts at the start."

Rean nodded. He also thought about this possibility.

"Should we completely separate from the other groups then?"

This time, Roan shook his head.

"No, that would be too dangerous. We are going to wander on the mobs' outskirts, always making sure that the other groups aren't too far away from our reach. We don't know how the demon beasts here act, so the last thing I want is to be surrounded without a place to retreat."

Malaka couldn't help but ask, though.

"But how do you know the other kids are close to us?"

Roan chuckled before pointing at their bracelets. They had just received them, so it seems like other than Roan, no one verified it with their Spiritual Sense yet.

"Send your Spiritual Sense into the bracelet."

As soon as they did, the group immediately noticed thousands of red dots moving on what seemed to be a map. Rean couldn't help but laugh after seeing that. Not because he was surprised, but because these bracelets reminded him about Earth.

"Haha! No wonder Elder Hulian said that we can find our way back with the bracelets. It shows our location perfectly. Not to mention that this base is acting as a beacon. I didn't imagine they would make something similar to our Radars back on Earth. I guess I need to take a good look at these Formations after we join the Sect."

Julio got puzzled, though.

"What is a Radar?"

However, Rean just shook his head.

"There is no need for you to know."

Roan then made sure that his group was ready before saying.

"Alright, enough of wasting time here. Let's go!"
