"We can't use the storage ring there? Is it because of formation or something?" Yun Lintian asked. He didn't know about this before.

Han Bingling explained. "The place you will be sent to a while later is called Fallen Dragon Forest. It has existed in our Northern Continent for more than five thousand years. No one knows how did it appear or where was its name came from."

"When Lord Sky Throne arrived here three thousand years ago and discovered this place. He had ventured deep into the forest and later decided to lay a powerful formation to restrict any spatial activity. This is the reason we cannot use the storage ring or the escape talisman over there."

"Fallen Dragon Forest?" Yun Lintian's eyes lit up as he somehow smelled a supreme treasure waiting for him to get… What could it be? Dragon corpse? Dragon bones?

After encountering White Tiger God, Yun Lintian fully believed there was a dragon god out there. However, he didn't think it existed in this Azure World. Just one White Tiger God appeared here alone was already a miracle. If there was a dragon god as well, Yun Lintian didn't know what to say anymore. Not to mention there was Divine Phoenix Palace on Southern Continent. From Han Bingling's words, there should be a genuine phoenix over there.

Yun Lintian was always curious why these divine beasts in the myth appeared in a lower world like Azure World. Moreover, from Blazing Sun Mythical Realm to Thunder Valley, Yun Lintian could feel someone had orchestrated everything behind the scene, as though he or she tried to pave a path for him.

Of course, Yun Lintian thought about the mysterious woman who brought him from who knows where to Misty Cloud Sect. However, he had no clue about her and didn't even know where to start or how to find it. He could only move along the path until the end. Maybe everything would be revealed by itself later.

"Since it's so dangerous. Why would the academy send us to that kind of place? Are they planning to kill everyone?" From Han Bingling's description, Yun Lintian felt this Fallen Dragon Forest was awfully perilous and definitely not a place where a mere Spirit and Origin Profound practitioner could go. Was it necessary to choose this kind of place for the test?

"Although it looks scary, it is actually not that dangerous as long as you stay in the perimeter. The main problem… well, for others, is the contenders themselves. You should understand about it." Han Bingling responded.

Yun Lintian didn't continue to ask her. He turned to Chu Heng and others. "Do you have enough supplies in your hands? I just got the news, we can't use a storage ring over there."

The Origin Profound practitioner could live without eating for several months, but the Spirit Profound practitioner was different. They still needed to eat something to maintain their body. Chu Heng was fine since he had already stepped into the Origin Profound Realm. The problem was Chu Mi and Lan Shuiying. They had to bring a lot of food with them as the profound beasts over there could not be eaten due to Abyssal Energy.

Chu Heng immediately understood the situation. He looked at his sister worriedly, did not know what to do.

"It's not just the storage ring. The escape talisman is not available as well." Yun Lintian added.

Lan Shuiying frowned and asked. "Can you elaborate more?"

This time, Bai Qingyi took the initiative to explain. "The place we're going to a while later is called Fallen Dragon Forest. It's a dangerous place with a powerful formation that prevents any spatial activity from occurring, which means we can't use the storage ring and the escape talisman there. Also, as we all know, many months ago, most of the profound beats were infected with Abyssal Poison and couldn't be eaten. So you have to bring enough food with you." 

"Our positions will be random when entering that place." Qin Yuyan added. She wanted to tell Chu Mi and Lan Shuiying that they had to rely on themselves unless they were lucky to meet someone from the group right away.

Lan Shuiying and Chu Mi quickly understood everything and fell into deep thought.

Yun Lintian took all the dry rations and several high-grade healing pills and handed them to Lan Shuiying and Chu Mi. "Take them."

Lan Shuiying wasn't polite and took half of them away directly. Meanwhile, Chu Mi hesitated and felt these things were too expensive.

"You don't have to be polite. Just take them… Remember, you have to escape whenever facing someone at the Origin Profound Realm." Yun Lintian said and took out the small dagger he got from the Blazing Sun Mythical Realm. "This dagger can easily pierce any heaven-level armor. Don't show it to anyone unless it is a last resort."

Under Chu Heng's urging, Chu Mi finally accepted everything and gratefully thanked Yun Lintian. Although her profound art was powerful, she was inexperienced. Yun Lintian estimated she wasn't an opponent of Origin Profound practitioners. Hence, it would be better for her to avoid them.

A while later, Yun Lintian saw the academy elder open his eyes and stand up, walking to the front of the stage. His movement immediately attracted every participant, and they quickly returned to the square one after another.

"It's time, everyone. Please return to the square." The academy elder said calmly while watching the participants reluctantly say goodbye to their relatives.

Upon seeing most of them had returned to the square, he continued. "As everyone knows, the second test is the survival test. All of you will be sent to an exclusive hunting ground of the academy called Fallen Dragon Forest. Over there, all the storage rings and the spatial related items are not available. That means you have to take out enough supplies and weapons right now before entering the transmission formation. Please."

As his voice fell, the expressions of many participants changed drastically. They instantly had the urge to quit.
