I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 677 The Qilin Cave

The room fell silent; everyone was generally used to the head of the school's personality.

Su Hongxiu was very satisfied with this atmosphere where no one questioned her, and said with a smile, "Please activate the Illusion Array!"

As soon as he finished speaking, array formations suddenly appeared directly in front of the square, instantly forming a large, water-ripple-shaped curtain.

Ye Kang was terrified.

Wow, this formation is truly amazing! It can even create a giant screen!

Sure enough, lines of large characters quickly appeared on the water, showing the rankings.

Everyone stared intently.

First place: Ye Kang!

As the first name was revealed, everyone fell silent.

This name is not surprising at all, because everyone expected it. One person capturing twenty people, completely changing the course of the battle, and single-handedly disrupting the Blue Team's plan—it would be strange if it wasn't Ye Kang.

Ye Kang also looked up and was not surprised to see his name.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: King of Trials]

[Task Reward: 600000 Comprehension Points]

The system beeped, and the enlightenment was credited to the account.

Ye Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief and calmly looked at the rankings below.

Second place: Gao Fan!

Third place: Wen Yuanqing!

Fourth place: Chen Junbo!

……

The top three are not surprising.

Although Gao Fan captured a lot of people and performed brilliantly at the last moment, no one expected that he would rank ahead of Wen Yuanqing.

After all, although the latter lost the trial, his record of defeating Yang Yan was still very impressive.

The rankings after third place are even more enviable. Many of them are not among the top in terms of strength, but because of Ye Kang's interference, they seized the opportunity and made a comeback.

Dai Zijun, in particular, managed to get into tenth place by following Ye Kang, which is really infuriating.

The most unexpected one was Yin Xingtang.

He was exempt from the entrance exam along with Ye Kangwen and Yuan Qing, and he also had an impressive family background and the ability to be among the top three, but he ranked low.

After all, she barely made any impact during the entire trial. She only managed to rank fifteenth because she exchanged two moves with Ye Kang.

Faced with this result, Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er offered their words of comfort.

"Xingtang, it's alright. It's just a trial. We were careless this time, not because we're not strong enough."

"That's right, Xingtang, we'll win it back next time."

Yin Xingtang didn't reply, but turned her head and stared intently at Ye Kang, who was standing at the back.

"If this were on the battlefield, one moment of carelessness could mean certain death."

Upon hearing this, neither of them spoke again.

They knew Yin Xingtang; she was a girl with a stronger sense of self-respect than anyone else. If she wanted to move on, she had to defeat the other party herself.

Soon, the rankings were announced. Su Hongxiu waved her hand and said, "Alright, the results are in. The top ten can stay. The rest of you can go home. Those who are injured can collect herbs on their own. Those who are seriously injured can go to Hundred Herbs Peak, where someone will treat you."

Everyone was speechless. Well, it was all for nothing.

Without saying a word, Yin Xingtang was the first to leave.

The others followed suit, and after they all left, only ten people remained in the square.

Dai Zijun moved closer to Ye Kang and handed him a brocade pouch containing spirit crystals.

"Brother Ye, this is three thousand spirit crystals. I admit defeat. You deserve to win!"

Dai Zijun was truly convinced. He had originally wanted to get revenge, but he didn't expect Ye Kang to be so awesome, taking first place as soon as he said he would.

What else can be said? Hurry up and latch onto their coattails.

The people of Shamin didn't care anymore; with such strength, they would rise to prominence sooner or later.

Upon seeing this, Su Hongxiu flew down and landed in front of the two, bringing her incredibly beautiful face close to theirs.

"What are you doing? Gambling?"

"No, no, no! Sir, you've misunderstood. How could we be gambling!"

"Don't be nervous, you're young, you all understand. Next time you gamble, call me, the headmaster, I love gambling."

Su Hongxiu's eyes lit up, clearly indicating that she was telling the truth.

The next second, a powerful aura swept through the mountains, as if angrily warning Su Hongxiu.

The latter's face turned pale, and he quickly said in a serious tone, "This is outrageous! This is not to be repeated! You lot, come with me."

After saying that, she leaped up to the mountainside.

Only after receiving her permission did the group dare to fly on the wind and land in a cave halfway up the mountain.

She turned her head and said, "Congratulations, you are among the top ten in the trial, so you are qualified to receive the first-year reward for freshmen of the academy."

She pointed to a Qilin statue in front of the cave behind her.

Ye Kang was completely bewildered, while the others were overjoyed.

"Scholar! Could it be?!"

Many people spoke up excitedly.

Ye Kang frowned in confusion and transmitted his voice to Dai Zijun, asking, "What is that?"

Dai Zijun said in a low voice, "The academy has seven blessed lands, all of which are treasure troves. Anyone who enters once will gain a huge improvement!"

"Then this is?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a blessed land, the Qilin Secret Cave."

Sure enough, Su Hongxiu continued, "You guessed right, this is the Qilin Secret Cave, the academy's blessed land. However, there are no Qilins inside, only the precious plant Qilin Blood Ginseng. This thing can only be produced in blessed lands and is a specialty of the academy. As long as you eat it, it will greatly benefit your physical body and meridians, and can also enrich your blood and strengthen your foundation."

Su Hongxiu's lips curled up: "If you're lucky, you might even get a trace of Blood Scale Treasure Qi. You'll know its wonderful uses yourself. But the only problem is that the Qilin Blood Ginseng is extremely spiritual. It will take a lot of effort to catch them."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of excitement.

Ye Kang, in particular, had a look of longing in his eyes.

He could ignore other rare and precious plants, but this was a rare item for body tempering!

Anything that can temper the body is a good thing!

Dai Zijun quickly asked, "Master, could you share some tips?"

Su Hongxiu shook her head: "No, everyone's chance of catching blood ginseng is different. You have to rely on yourselves. There is a three-day limit. If you still haven't encountered it after three days, you should also come out."

"clear."

Everyone nodded.

Su Hongxiu stepped aside, and an old man guarding the cave entrance smiled at them and waved to dispel the magic array.

The group quickly entered the cave, and as soon as they went in, the exclamations and footsteps around them immediately disappeared.

Ye Kang seemed to have entered a secluded space where he was all alone. It was completely dark, with only a glimmer of light flashing in front of him.

Guided by the light, he passed through the darkness and arrived at a lush medicinal garden.

The herb garden covers about six acres and grows all sorts of rare herbs that he has never seen before.

Rows of herbs stand side by side, with raised ridges between them for easy irrigation, creating an incredibly beautiful pastoral scene.

Sensing the faint scent of herbs in the air, Ye Kang looked up at the sky.

There was no sun, yet sunlight shone down.

It's truly a treasure trove for medicinal herbs.

Of course, these herbs were not Ye Kang's target; the key was to find the hidden Qilin Blood Ginseng among them.
