Chapter 987 - 885: Red Dust Training?

"Brother Duan, you've been in seclusion these days. I'm afraid you don't know yet that the Ascension Academy elders have already issued a task for everyone. You should go and receive this Red Dust Training task!"Mo Yan said.

"Red Dust Training task? What does that mean?"

Duan Gujin's interest was piqued immediately, and he asked.

Mo Yan replied, "The academy elders say the Divine World test isn't just about examining a martial artist's cultivation and comprehension, but also their ability to handle affairs! When you want to take on the Red Dust Training task, you need to report to the elders. Each person must complete the Red Dust Training task three times in total!"

"Is it to be tested in thirty thousand small planes?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"No, the academy elders said they would send us to the Secret Realm for training. The academy elders said during this testing process, they would examine every detail!"

Mo Yan said.

"To go to the Secret Realm for Red Dust Training?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

"I understand now. The Ascension Academy elders must have acquired an Illusion Technique Array from the Divine World. This Illusion Technique Array is specifically designed to test a martial artist's mindset!"

He realized that this so-called Secret Realm test was just a ploy set up by the Ascension Academy elders, meant to deliberately confuse the disciples like them.

They don't actually enter the Secret Realm for Red Dust Training; their Divine Soul enters an extraordinarily realistic Illusion Technique Array for a test.

Generally speaking, anyone entering such an Illusion Technique test would think the illusion is real.

Duan Gujin touched his nose, thinking to himself that some top sects in the Divine World love to play this kind of game. He didn't expect the Ascension Academy to do it too.

"Is the test completed individually, or in a team?"

Duan Gujin asked curiously.

"That, I really don't know. The elders didn't say."

Mo Yan said.

"Alright, I'll go take a look then!"

Duan Gujin's interest was immediately piqued. He had experienced such tests before and knew that these tests would be divided into several different storylines, including hidden and main storylines.

Some martial artists with high intelligence could solve the mysteries laid out by the storyline setter and find the real culprit.

In short, it was a very important test of intelligence.

He quickly went to the front gate of the Ascension Academy according to what Mo Yan had said.

In front of that gate was the place to receive the Red Dust Training task, and he immediately went forward to receive the task.

The disciple immediately registered him and told him to return in two days to complete the Red Dust Training.

"As expected!"

Duan Gujin felt a stir in his heart. He immediately understood this so-called Red Dust Training task was just an illusion test.

"Interesting!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, knowing that any preparation was useless.

Because, in two days, the Secret Realm he was about to enter wasn't the real Secret Realm; the place he was about to enter was merely an illusionary realm created by illusion techniques.

In this illusionary realm, he could only rely on his intelligence and strength to solve problems.

In the illusionary realm, he couldn't use any treasures.

Two days later, he came to report with his name tag.

The disciples led him to a room and told him that they would soon activate the Teleportation Array to send him into the Secret Realm, where he should sit tight.

"In a moment, you'll be transmitted into the Secret Realm. Once inside, you can't use any of the treasures you have on you. You'll have to rely on yourself to resolve those foes! This is your name tag. Hold onto it, and follow its commands once you're in the Secret Realm!"

The disciple said seriously.

Duan Gujin laughed dryly. He knew the so-called Secret Realm test was an illusion test.

"Trying to fool me? No way!"

Duan Gujin chuckled coldly, sitting cross-legged, and adjusted his energy.

After a while, he felt a powerful transmission force appear around his body, quickly sending him away.

When the surrounding transmission energy disappeared, he looked around and found himself standing outside a massive city.

"Enter the city and search for a guard officer named Li Nianzhen!"

As he marveled, he sensed a message from the name tag in his hand, finally knowing what to do next.

He inwardly sneered, knowing that his current self was just a detached Divine Soul, transmitted into a world constructed by illusions.

The illusion was so powerful that it could completely fake reality.

Duan Gujin exhaled and immediately headed into the city ahead.

"This task instructs me to find the local guard officer. I should investigate that!"

Upon entering the city, he noticed no soldiers guarding the city gate.

Once inside, he arrived at a local shop and inquired with the shopkeeper.

"Excuse me, boss, can I ask you something? Do you know where the guard of this city is?"

"I don't know! Get moving!"

The shopkeeper replied impatiently, waving him off.

Duan Gujin nodded slightly. He wasn't disappointed and continued inquiring with other shopkeepers.

After asking several local shopkeepers, they all waved him off, looking disdainful, claiming they didn't know.

"There's more to this than meets the eye!"

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, intending to probe the city's situation.

However, he quickly discovered his Divine Sense was completely ineffective here.

"As expected!"

He had anticipated this result from the start.

He swiftly grabbed a passerby on the road, asking whether they knew where the local guards were.

The passerby promptly pulled him aside and whispered, "Friend, are you new here?"

"Yes, I just arrived from outside. I have a relative serving as a guard here, and I want to join him! Friend, I really don't know what's happening here. Please, do tell!"

Duan Gujin quickly asked.

"Do you have money?"

The passerby sneered and asked.

Duan Gujin immediately attempted to open his storage ring but found it completely unresponsive.

He quickly said to the passerby, "I have money. Come with me!"

The passerby followed eagerly.

Duan Gujin led the passerby to an unnoticed corner, where he swung his right hand, causing Primordial Power to surge, transforming his right hand into a Hand Blade. With one strike, he sliced a large chunk of soil off the ground.

He coldly said to the passerby, "If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know! Or else, your head will be like this soil, chopped off in an instant!"
