As soon as Wang Wei entered the formation, he found himself on an open road, surrounded by rivers, lakes, mountains, and forests. There was no one in sight except him. Wang Wei knew that each participant would be separated into different regions. Wang Wei looked down on his arm and noticed the number zero. This was the number of people he had killed. In essence, the Spirit Road Trial is essentially a massacre between geniuses or Heaven Chosen that allowed them to hone their skills, mind, survival instinct, and plunder each other's luck. Furthermore, this trial is also used by many factions to select disciples. As such, the person with the highest result will often be awarded by these factions. Wang Wei was not interested in the reward of these factions, so he did not really care about getting the number one spot. Wang Wei was here for three reasons: hone his skills, plunder Qi Luck, and Ji Song. This trial was the place for him to truly witness slaughter and get used to it. Although Wang Wei had killed people before, these were just defenseless prisoners unable to fight back. In this trial, Wang Wei hoped to be reborn amidst the countless killings. After contemplating his main goals, Wang Wei left in the direction of the forest. This would be his main hunting ground. Using the tree in the forest, Wang Wei began to make himself a sharp dagger out of stones and branches in the forest. While Wang Wei was preparing for his trial, Ji Song had also entered the Spirit Road Trial. Unfortunately, he was separated from Wang Wei by a few regions. However, he was not discouraged as the talisman in his arm told him the direction of his target. Ji Song started heading in the direction of Wang Wei when he remembered the warning of his big brother and stopped. According to his big brother, there is a high chance that the Dao Opening Sect is laying a trap to ambush him, so he must be prepared and take things slowly. Although Ji Song did not think that the young master of the Dao Opening Sect could do anything to him with his strength, he knew that his big brother was way smarter than him and it is better to listen to him. As such, he did not immediately go after him and decided to take the necessary precautions that his big brother told him to do. After Ji Song, the devil cultivator named Do Bo entered the trial. Immediately, he became excited about the prey he was about to kill. His imagination of how delicious their beating hearts will be almost made him soil himself. "Too bad I could not touch these two guys from Emperor Lineage," Do Bo thought to himself. Nonetheless, there were still many preys to enjoy here. Following these two, countless other participants entered the Spirit Road Trial from all 5 Continents and from the Lower Plane. Meanwhile, in just a few hours, Wang Wei has managed to create a stone knife as a weapon. In fact, Wang Wei does not really like to use weapons, he preferred to use his first. However, given the fact that his body is quite weak now, a weapon is much more safe and efficient. After making a weapon, Wang Wei did not immediately start killing, but started scouting the environment and becoming familiar with it. Then, he found the perfect shelter that can prevent sneak attack at night and was close to a water source. After resting for more than an hour, Wang Wei started his hunting. The Spirit Road Trial is divided into two segments. In the first half year, the participants must slowly adapt to surviving in the wild. And, they must track their opponents using their own method if they want to know their whereabouts. In the second segment, the location of each person will be displayed once they reach a certain distance. Furthermore, the locations of the top 10 will always be displayed to all contestants. Another important part of the second half is the fact that many secret realms will be opened and many people can have lucky encounters. In the first half it is quite difficult for other participants to track other people, but it is different for Wang Wei. With his True Vision ability, he can see the Qi Dragons above the heads of any participants. As such, he can easily track them. Wang Wei soon located the nearest target near him. It was a beautiful girl dressed in clean and beautiful clothes. Wang Wei could tell that she was a pampered rich girl and had no experience as she was cleaning the dirt in her clothes and left herself wide open for an attack. Wang Wei heard the girl mutter something about her bodyguards. From this information, Wang Wei can guess that this girl was sent by her parents to experience life and tempered her, thus they send powerful bodyguards to protect her. Unfortunately, the girl was separated from her protection service and became alone. Wang Wei wondered what her parents were thinking. Didn't they know that everyone will be transported to different places in the trial? Of course Wang Wei will not show any sympathy for her because she is a girl. Anyone who stepped into this trial should do so with the awareness that they may not leave here alive and in one piece. As such, Wang Wei sneaked behind the girl, tripped her into the ground with her face upward facing the blue sky, pinned her down with his knee and then stabbed her into her throat. Blood spilled all over Wang Wei while the young girl looked at him with fear and shock. She could not believe that she died like this. As she tried to speak her last word, blood gurgled out of her mouth, then everything stopped as her eyes lost the last ray of light and became sluggish and empty: she was dead. After killing the girl, Wang Wei noticed that her Qi Dragon disappeared and was swallowed by his own, thus increasing the intensity of the purple color. He had plundered her luck. Afterward, Wang Wei started to ponder his actions during this fight. When he looked at the blood all over his body, he could still savor the unpleasant taste of iron and he felt disgusted by being so dirty. He realized that his actions were not so smooth. He could have held the girl from behind and slit her throat. That way, his action would be faster, more efficient, and he would not have so much blood on him. Wang Wei realized that he did not have much experience when it came to fighting. All of his knowledge is purely theoretical. As such, coming to this trial was an experience that he truly needed. After summarizing his faults, Wang Wei headed for his next prey. He was determined to be reborn in this trial and take another major step on his path to one day bear Heaven's Mandate and prove the Dao.
