He also poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He said, "I've also participated in the Monthly Competition before, so there's no need for you to tell me about the Monthly Competition. I know all about it."

When he was still an official disciple of outer sect, he had participated in the monthly competition three times. Shi Ling was very clear on the rules, but Tao Qingling shook her head and said: "No, there's a new rule this year."

When Shi Ling heard this, his hand that was about to raise the teacup to his mouth suddenly stopped. He subconsciously turned to Tao Qingling and asked, "New rules?"

Tao Qingling nodded and said, "The first round of the written test has been added! Also, the second round of the competition grounds has changed from the original island to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range! "

When Shi Ling heard the first part of Tao Qingling's words, his expression did not change at all, but when he heard the second half, Shi Ling's eyes suddenly widened. He looked somewhat shocked, and then he said: "The Demonic Beast Mountain Range? Why did the Spirit Sword Sect choose that place for the second round of the monthly competition? is he trying to kill all of the participating disciples here? "

As an old disciple who had been in the Spirit Sword Sect for many years, Shi Ling naturally knew what kind of place the Demonic Beast Mountain Range was. It was one of the five great dangerous grounds in the entire Hundred River County, reputed to be hell on earth, and the number of Demonic Beast it occupied was even more than the number of people in the entire Hundred River County. Legend has it that in the deepest parts of the mountain range, it occupied a peerless vicious beast that had reached a thousand years of age.

Tao Qingling shook her head and said: "I'm not sure why we chose the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, so I came here to remind you to be careful during this month's competition."

Shi Ling's mouth twitched. He rubbed his temples and said, "Why do I always get this kind of good news every time?"

Seeing Shi Ling's reaction, Tao Qingling couldn't help but chuckle. She then took out a dark green Glyph from her Heart Ring and handed it to Shi Ling. Seeing this, Shi Ling took it and asked: "What is this?"

Tao Qingling said, "If you stick this to your heart, it can help you withstand a fatal attack at a critical moment!"

Shi Ling's eyes widened slightly when he heard this. He said, "This is a Heart Protecting Talisman?"

Tao Qingling nodded her head, confirming Shi Ling's guess. Shi Ling's adam's apple trembled a little before accepting it. Feeling the touch, it was as if he was touching a thin jade plate, and said: "This should have already reached the third grade Talisman stage, right? You're giving it to me just like that? "

Tao Qingling rolled her eyes and said, "Just give it back to me!"

Saying that, she pretended to go and take back the talisman in Shi Ling's hand, while Shi Ling also kept it into his Heart Ring. He smiled and said: "Yes, of course I want it, why don't I go to such a dangerous place like the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, how can I prepare more life-saving magical equipment?"

Tao Qingling rolled her eyes at Shi Ling and then said, "Come on, let me explain the rules to you."

He still only has one month, and similarly, there are only three rounds. The first round is the written examination, and all the participating disciples will gather at the examination hall for the Changshu Pavilion. According to the questions distributed by the examiners, the questions will be answered by anyone who sits inside the Changshu Pavilion for a period of time.

"For the second round, we will dance together with the beasts. The clan elders of the sect will send all of the participating disciples to the Demonic Beast mountain range and they will need twenty days to continuously kill and seize the Demonic Core. The more Demonic Core there are, the higher the rank and the higher the possibility of leveling up."

"In the third round, the disciples who made it back alive from the Demonic Beast mountain range would be gathered at the Martial Arena. Through the method of dueling with each other, they would be ranked out of the top fifty, and other than those who are already official disciples, the rest of the disciples will be given a raise of one rank."

After Tao Qingling finished talking, Shi Ling nodded seriously. His eyes were still on the manual. If there were any doubts, Shi Ling would directly ask Tao Qingling. Tao Qingling also told Shi Ling everything she knew.

When Shi Ling was almost done, Tao Qingling stood up and said, "Okay, since you understand, then I won't say anymore. Make your own preparations, I'll go back first."

Shi Ling nodded, then stood up and said: "Then I'll send you off."

Tao Qingling did not refuse. The two of them walked outside at the same time. After they left, Shi Ling stood there quietly, watching Tao Qingling leave.

When Tao Qingling had completely disappeared into the night sky, Shi Ling frowned as if he was thinking about something. Thinking about this, Shi Ling couldn't help but look up at the bright and clear moon in the sky.

Suddenly, at this moment, the sound of wind breaking sounded in Shi Ling's ears. He opened his eyes and turned around.

The next moment, he heard a soft swoosh, as if something passed by Shi Ling. If it wasn't for Shi Ling hiding in time, Shi Ling's body might have been penetrated by that one strike.

Shi Ling turned around and looked in the direction the thing was coming from and saw a figure running away. When Shi Ling saw this, his eyes lit up with anger. He shouted, "You dog, stop right there!"

With that, Shi Ling chased in the direction of the shadow, but the shadow's strength seemed to be a lot higher than Shi Ling's. Shi Ling was still unable to catch up with Shi Ling even after using the Upanishads of Extreme Speed, and finally lost him in the bamboo forest.

Shi Ling punched a bamboo in anger and helplessly turned around to walk back to his own cave.

Very soon, when Shi Ling returned, he saw that the thing that was shooting towards him was actually a jade plate. However, the jade plate was already embedded in the soil, Shi Ling frowned as he walked over, and immediately picked up the jade plate. There was a line of words written on it: "Do not participate in the monthly competition!"

When Shi Ling saw this, he was stunned. He looked down and saw a wolf claw mark.

Shi Ling's eyes opened again as he whispered, "wolf boy?"
