Chapter 51: Death Canyon
Farrick walked down the Papal Hill and stood at the foot of the hill looking back at the Papal Palace.
Built halfway up the mountain, the Papal Palace is a pillar-like dome building that is so magnificent that it can be clearly seen even from a distance.
The golden paint covering the surface of the building shimmers in the sunlight, like a second sun rising between heaven and earth.
It desperately emitted light, and at first it could only illuminate a small corner. After Bibi Dong became the pope, the sun became more and more radiant, and he no longer wanted to live in a corner. It wants to sprinkle light on the entire Douluo Continent.
Where is the light, it is clearly Bibi Dong's ever-expanding ambition.
A few years ago, Bibi Dong first proposed the 'Soul Hunting Project', which frightened many people, including Farrick.
Although the Soul Hunt plan was shelved due to the unanimous opposition of the elders of the Hall of Elders, Farrick knew in his heart that His Majesty the Pope had not abandoned the plan. She endured, secretly accumulating strength, eliminating dissidents, and waiting for the opportunity to restart the soul hunting plan.
Her ambition is like a wild horse that has escaped from the bridle and makes Farrick's heart tremble. He was scared and expectant.
Afraid that the sun would fall after it was extremely bright, and looked forward to the sun being able to hang high for nine days, bathing the entire continent in the glory of the Martial Spirit Palace.
Farrick touched the top of his head, and the pentagonal platinum crown that had been worn for many years was gone. His resignation from the Papal Council meant the loss of the esteemed status of a platinum bishop.
If you are not a platinum bishop, you are not eligible to wear a pentagonal platinum crown.
The burden on his head was lighter, but the back of this Contra level powerhouse became rickety, because there were more worries in his heart. He was like an ordinary old man who returned to the Martial Soul City Senior Soul Master Academy.
The guards saluted him one after another, and were stunned when they saw the gray hair on his head and the five-pointed platinum crown that he had disappeared.
Farrick didn't explain anything to the guards, because there was no need for it. Walk along the boulevard to the end, and without looking at the glittering administrative building in front of you, turn to the left-hand side.
Passing through the dormitory building, the building complex of the indoor martial soul mimic cultivation ground, and entering the 'plant field'.
The further you go, the quieter it becomes, this is a martial soul mimicry cultivation place specially designed for the top ten students on the martial soul list.
At present, there are only two people cultivating here, Ling Bai and Hu Liena.
Farik stood outside Ling Bai's exclusive martial soul mimicry cultivation ground, his mouth moving slightly. Ling Bai, who was sitting cross-legged under the pear tree and cultivating, suddenly heard Farik's voice.
"Why did the dean come in person, could it be ......" Ling Bai's eyes were overjoyed, he hurriedly put away his martial spirit, and strode out of the woods.
"Dean......" In the middle of his sentence, he noticed that Farrick was not wearing a five-pointed platinum crown on his head. In the few encounters between Ling Bai and Farik, Farrick cared a lot about his image, and seemed to wear a big red robe and a five-pointed platinum crown at all times.
Farik said gently: "Ling Bai, I just came back from the Pope's Palace, and His Majesty the Pope has already agreed for you to enter the Death Valley for a time limit of half a year. ”
And so it was. Ling Bai showed a happy expression and saluted Farrick with a grateful face: "Thank you, Dean." ”
Farrick motioned for him not to be polite, and said with a serious face: "Your trial this time is much more dangerous than the previous students, you must be careful after entering the Death Canyon, and find a way to survive the first three days." ”
Ling Bai glanced at Farrick and felt that he had something to say. But Farrick was reluctant to say it explicitly, and it was estimated that there was no result after asking.
In fact, the Death Valley Trial does have a high risk of death, but it is not without any hope of survival.
Every time the Death Valley Trial is opened, the Martial Spirit Hall will send one or several Titled Douluo to secretly protect it.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the trialist survives for one day, the subsequent trials are not life-threatening. Because at a critical time, Title Douluo will make a move.
But the vast majority of trialists don't survive even a day.
It sounds like the Martial Spirit Palace's approach is very ruthless and cruel, since someone has already been sent to protect it, why not protect the safety of the trialists from the beginning and kill a few fewer people?
Don't go into the canyon of death if you're afraid of death.
The Death Valley Trial is not mandatory, and the students voluntarily go in to experience it in order to improve their strength.
If you want to get something, you have to give something.
Without the protection of Title Douluo, none of the people who entered the Death Canyon would be able to get out. From this point of view, the Wuhun Hall is still very expensive.
After all, having a Titled Douluo accompany a trialist to spend half a year in the Death Valley was a very luxurious thing in itself.
Farrick won't tell Ling Bai about this. Tell him that the Death Valley Trial is meaningless.
Not struggling on the brink of death, it is never clear how terrible death is.
"Dean, can you tell me about the specifics of Death Canyon?"
"Absolutely." Farik nodded, "Donna should have told you that Death Canyon is one of the two major testing grounds mastered by the Martial Spirit Palace. The other is the Grand Canyon. The Lost Grand Canyon has high requirements for the strength of the trialists, and under normal circumstances, the soul king with a soul power of more than fifty-one level is allowed to enter. ”
"These two places have their own mysteries, so I'll tell you about Death Canyon today."
"Death Canyon gets its name from the power of death, and the power of death inside is unusually strong. All people and animals that die in the Death Canyon will be corrupted by the power of death for many years, and they will become undead creatures and be resurrected. These undead creatures are strong and weak, the weak ones are not even as good as the lowest-level soul warriors, and they are powerful enough to rival the Title Douluo. ”
"Rival Title Douluo?" Cold sweat broke out on Ling Bai's head, and he asked with some regret, "Dean, is it too late to regret it now?" ”
Farrick wanted to laugh a little, but now he knew he was scared, "It's too late." ”
"There are undead creatures of the Title Douluo level in the Death Canyon, and the Soul Sect students will definitely die if they enter, so how did the previous seniors survive?" Ling Bai looked at Farik, hoping to get an answer from him.
Farrick applauded, "That's a good question. Titled Douluo is the highest-level existence among soul masters, even in the Douluo Continent, there are not many Titled Douluo, not to mention the Death Canyon, which is hundreds or thousands of times smaller than the Douluo Continent. The powerful undead creatures inside are extremely rare, and they are all entrenched in the Dead Sea in the very center of the Death Canyon, and the periphery is relatively safe. ”
"I see." Ling Bai was stunned.
"One thing you have to remember is that when you train in the Death Valley, don't use up your soul power at any time. If your soul power is too much depleted, you must find a safe place to recover your soul power as soon as possible. Otherwise, the power of death will erode your body and slowly turn you into an undead creature. ”
Ling Bai was suddenly awe-struck and nodded, "I remember." ”
"Also, don't trust anyone you meet in Death Canyon."
"Is there anyone in Death Canyon?" Ling Bai was taken aback.
"Didn't Donna tell you, in addition to being a place of trial, Death Valley is also a prison used by the Soul Hall to hold some evil soul masters."
