When Liu Yan saw that Murong Xue was about to make a move, he quickly pulled Murong Xue back.

This woman’s personality was too fierce and aggressive.

Murong Xue looked at Liu Yan in confusion and said, “What are you afraid of? The top powerhouses of their academy aren’t here. I could mince them into meat pies.”

Liu Yan heard this and immediately said helplessly, “You’re thinking too much. They aren’t saying bad things about us behind our backs. Don’t try to offend other people. Just eat your food.”

Murong Xue was a little baffled, but she followed Liu Yan’s instructions and sat down to eat her food.

In fact, when Liu Yan had just entered the cafeteria, he had already noticed the students of Gifted Academy were discussing him.

Two days ago, there had indeed been many people criticizing him behind his back.

However,

Liu Yan discovered that the students of the Gifted Academy seemed to have changed their views of him after the trial. They were no longer so hostile towards him. There were even many of them who admired Liu Yan’s strength.

They changed their attitude toward Liu Yan because of their respect and admiration for the expert.

The Gifted Academy and the Lighthouse Academy always had a competitive and hostile relationship. But in the end, the Lighthouse Academy and the Gifted Academy belonged to the same continent and could be considered to be on the same side.

At this moment, Chu Long’s face was still full of confusion, not understanding what was going on.

However, Luo Qingcheng smiled and explained, “The students of Gifted Academy are all worshipping Liu Yan, but they haven’t said anything bad about Liu Yan behind his back.”

Murong Xue and Chu Long finally understood after hearing this.

“That’s more like it.” Murong Xue said.

After Liu Yan and the others had their meal, they returned to their dorms to rest.

They were exhausted after the trial at the altar of sound. They needed a good rest.

Especially Liu Yan. He mostly relied on his vision to avoid all the attacks during the first half of the trial. He had used up all of his energy.

The next day.

On the fourth level of the Tower, in front of a new huge altar.

Liu Yan and the rest of the students followed their instructor, Hong Kewei, who was in charge of today’s altar trial, to the fourth level of the Tower.

The students were also looking at the new huge altar curiously. They were wondering about the contents of today’s trial.

“I wonder what’s the trial today.”

“The first day is vision, the second day is hearing. It should be the other senses today.”

“Do you smell a stench? It smells so bad.”

“I smell it too. I thought I smelled wrong.”

“The smell seems to come from the altar in front of us. What exactly is this altar today?”

“I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling.”

…

At this moment, Hong Kewei also walked forward. He was in his early thirties. He had long yellow hair and a feminine face, revealing a unique temperament.

Hong Kewei looked at the students below and went straight to the point:

“Students, today our trial altar is the altar of fragrance. I am also the teacher in charge of your trial today.”

“The trial rules of the altar of fragrance are simple. It is to capture a fierce beast within the altar of fragrance.”

“The interior of the altar of fragrance is a stinky swamp area. What you need to do is to capture a fierce beast in this swamp area.”

“Remember, the smaller the fierce beast, the faster the speed, and the higher your score.”

“But don’t forget that you can only catch fierce beasts. You can not harm fierce beasts. The fierce beast you capture can not have any wounds on its body. If there are any wounds, you will get zero points!”

“All of you will enter the trial together. There are no rules in the trial. In the end, we will determine your score by the fierce beasts you captured. Nothing else matters.”

…

When the students heard this, they began to whisper among themselves.

Compared to the previous two trials, the rules of this round of altar of fragrance were undoubtedly a little strange.

After listening to the rules, Liu Yan began to ponder.

Based on the discussions of the students, the strength of the fierce beasts within the altar of fragrance should not be strong.

The difficulty of the trial was finding the fierce beasts in a swamp and then capturing them.

However, they could not hurt the fierce beasts when captured, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the trial. Capturing a fierce beast was much more difficult than defeating a fierce beast.

In the end, the score was determined by the size and speed of the captured fierce beast. The smaller and faster the fierce beast was, the higher the score would naturally be.

As for the smallest and the fastest, the score would be the highest. Naturally, the student with the highest score would receive the sacrificial gem of the altar of fragrance.

However, the trial this round was slightly different from the previous one. Not only did all the students enter at the same time, but it was also an irregular trial.

In this way, the students were allowed to attack each other.

Some students had powerful combat strength, but they didn’t have any special skills to look for the fierce beast. Hence, they could directly plunder the fierce beast in the hands of the other students.

These were only Liu Yan’s guesses. He could only find it out after he entered the altar of fragrance.

At this moment, Hong Kewei did not care about the discussions and doubts of the students. Instead, he announced, “Alright, just remember the rules. Time is up, all of you enter the altar and begin the trial. At dusk, all of you will be teleported out. Even if you complete the capture earlier, you can not come out earlier!”

Immediately after, Hong Kewei brought the students to the entrance of the altar and urged all of them to enter and begin the trial.

The students did not have time to discuss this any further before they were chased into the altar of fragrance.

Liu Yan followed the group of students and directly entered the altar of fragrance.

The moment they entered the altar of fragrance, everyone could feel the stench that assaulted their faces.

It was like something had been fermented for years. It was disgustingly foul, and many students could not stand the stench and vomit.

“F*ck, this isn’t an altar of fragrance. It’s the altar of stench.”

“This is too stinky. Who can withstand it?”

“We can only leave at dusk. How are we going to spend half a day?”

“This is too stinky. I’m going to die!”

“Ah, this is torture!.”

“They said we can leave early but we will be eliminated.”

“It’s all a swamp. There’s no sign of a fierce beast at all. How can we capture them?”

“This round of trials is too strange. I’m speechless.”

…

The students all complained.

Liu Yan was also pinching his nose to endure the stench. However, he did not complain. Instead, he quickly observed the situation inside the altar of fragrance.

This trial had already started, so it was meaningless to complain too much. It was better to observe the situation and continue the trial.
