Chapter 87: The Trial Begins

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
These four people were the descendants of the four large family clans from the Holy Light City. The one in the black clothes with the purple hair was the genius of the Treis family clan, Lael Treis. The one who kept them in suspense was called Arden Jeffrey, the one in the yellow clothes was called Jess Byron, and the tall and lanky one in the green clothes was called Fitch Adrian.
Seeing that the three of them were getting a little impatient, Arden pointed at a person in the direction of the Sky Blue Magic Academy and said, “Look at that person. I just overheard them chatting and heard that the young man’s name is Ron Nicholas. He’s from Winterfrost.”
“What? Ron Nicholas? It can’t be that Nicholas family clan, right?” Lael Treis had often heard the topic of the Nicholas family being mentioned at home these few days, especially the death of two descendants of his family clan seemed to be related to the Nicholas family, so he immediately took notice upon hearing the Nicholas family name.!!
Arden sneered and said, “That’s right, it’s the Nicholas family.”
“That damned thing actually dares to participate in Blue Jade Mystic Realm’s trial? But how did he qualify to participate in the trial?” Lael said, puzzled.
Arden said, “I saw that Teacher Angela from the Sky Blue Magic Academy is very good to that kid. And I also heard that Teacher Angela had personally visited him to take him in as a disciple. I think that the Blue Jade Badge had been given to him by Angela.”
“This is good too.” A cold light flashed in the eyes of Lael Treis, and he said coldly, “Since he has the guts to participate in the Blue Jade Trial, it’s an opportunity to eliminate him openly.” Then, he looked at the other three and said, “This person has similar feuds with your families. You guys should join hands with me to attack him.”
…
When the sun had risen to the center of the sky, four old men, who were emitting powerful auras, appeared in the sky together. When everyone saw the four experts, they became quiet as these four experts were all at the peak of the Great Archmage realm. They were incomparably powerful and were the experts from the four great magic academies. They were also the four great powers who controlled the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trials. The four great magic academies of the Northern Empire were the Pure White Magic Academy, the Sky Blue Magic Academy, the Blood Red Magic Academy, and the Rainbow Magic Academy. These four experts had come from these four magic academies. Their appearance now indicated that it was already time to open the mystic realm.
The four of them looked at each other and then stood in four directions. Then, they each took out a similar magical weapon and started to inject magical power into it. Instantly, four beams of light shot into the sky, and the powerful magical waves even formed circles of shock waves which spread out. Everyone watched what was happening intently.
Then, the four powerful beams of light pillars could be seen converging together. At the spot where they converged, space seemed to be gradually torn open, and then a crack line like glass shattering appeared. As the four experts continued to inject magical power, the crack line gradually tore open, forming a crack. Instantly, an extremely dense burst of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth surged forth from the crack.
Looking at the crack, everyone was inexplicably excited, especially those who were about to participate in the trial because they all knew that this crack was the entrance to the Blue Jade Mystic Realm.
“Everyone who is participating in the trial, take your Blue Jade Badge and enter the mystic realm!” After the entrance had been opened, one of the experts shouted. His voice was mixed with magical power that kept surging. Everyone present could hear him clearly.
Upon hearing the voice, someone immediately flew in. Ron was not the only one who had a magical weapon that could fly; the others also had them. After all, they had been nurtured by large factions, and some of their magical weapons were even stronger than Ron’s. However, there were also some who had unleashed their magical powers and relied on them to enter the mystic realm. Seeing this, Ron nodded at Karuman and bade farewell to Angela. Then, he flew in after William and the others from the Sky Blue Magic Academy.
Each time, the four great magic academies would each have 10 entry places. In addition, 60 Blue Jade Badges would be distributed to some other powers. Altogether, there were a total of 100 places for the trial. Soon, all 100 of these people had entered. After entering, they lost contact with the outside world. Even experts at the peak of the Great Archmage realm would not be able to detect what was happening inside from outside.
After they had entered, the Blue Jade Badge in their hands automatically turned into a beam of blue light and slowly disappeared. This Blue Jade Badge was the key to enter the mystic realm, but it would not be required to come out.
After Ron had entered the mystic realm, he found that he was surrounded by a thick fog; visibility was only about ten meters. He released his mental strength and found that the fog even affected the senses of his mental strength. However, Ron was not flustered. In fact, he had a feeling of familiarity because Ron had already undergone the specialized training from Romo previously. After all, Romo had participated in the trial of the Blue Jade Mystic Realm in the past, so he knew the situations inside the Blue Jade Mystic Realm. Therefore, he had replicated all the situations in the Blue Jade Mystic Realm that he knew in the dream realm. He had even listed out all the magical beasts, where the traps were, where it was likely to have treasures, and also where the places of death were. These were very useful to Ron.
After Ron had taken two steps, the ground beneath his feet became soft. Only then did Ron realize that the ground below was a desert. Also, the fog did not cover the entire mystic realm, but seemed to be present only at the entrance. It seemed that because of this fog the experts of peak Great Archmage realm that were outside were not able to detect what was going on inside.
“Brother Ron, come with us. There’s strength in numbers,” William said to Ron. He had a good impression of Ron.
“No, I want to go to the Swamp Area. It’s a different route from yours,” Ron said, declining.
“In that case, I won’t force it. Brother Ron, take care. I’ll see you in half a month.”
“Take care, everyone!” said Ron, cupping his fist.
Then, William left and the others left together. Elizabeth deliberately stayed behind. After everyone had left, she took out two letters and said to Ron, “These are the letters Serena and Howen have written to you.”
Ron was stunned for a moment before he took the letters and said, “Thank you, Senior Elizabeth.”
“You’re welcome. It’s no trouble at all. Also, the Swamp Area is the most dangerous place in the mystic realm. There are numerous magical beasts, and they are very powerful. You have to be careful. Junior Serena is still waiting for you..” With that said, she turned around and left to quickly follow William and the rest.
