Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Trial Realm
As soon as Tang Yichen started speaking, the Jade Talisman on his wrist gently vibrated.
Instinctively, Tang Yichen looked down and discovered that the points on the Jade Talisman had increased by one.
"Huh? Why did the points suddenly increase?"
Having no time to think about where Gu Zhiqi got the shovel from, Tang Yichen was more interested in the inexplicable point increase.
At this moment, Gu Zhiqi had just finished digging up a seedling and stood up.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen immediately moved closer to Gu Zhiqi, handing the Jade Talisman to her, "Gu Xiaoxi, look, I gained a point."
Gu Zhiqi glanced at the Jade Talisman and casually responded with an "oh," not seeming very surprised.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen blinked and immediately pinched the Jade Talisman on Gu Zhiqi’s wrist, leaning forward to look, "Why aren’t you surprised, have your points also increased... huh? Strange, they haven’t."
This doesn’t make sense.
Why did his points increase, but not Gu Xiaoxi’s?
"Let’s go." Gu Zhiqi said to Tang Yichen, then continued walking forward.
Tang Yichen immediately stepped up to follow.
Afterward, Tang Yichen finally understood why his points on the Jade Talisman had increased.
Every Trial Gate has its corresponding challenge.
This is the Poison Arts Trial Gate, where plants and animals might be poisonous and dangerous.
If you get poisoned and manage to detoxify or heal yourself, points will be awarded based on the level of danger and toxicity.
Points are used for ranking, with the leaderboard of this track updating in real-time based on trialists’ points.
Points accumulate, and with each point increase, the ranking is refreshed until the end of the competition.
After the competition ends, only the top ten from each track will remain on the list.
Those who stay on the leaderboard will be listed for ten months until the next year’s competition begins.
When Gu Zhiqi and Tang Yichen first entered the Trial Gate, Tang Yichen grabbed a flower and used its flower juice to reduce swelling, which was detected, awarding him a point.
Later, Tang Yichen was poisoned by this plant or bitten by that animal, enduring the pain while detoxifying under Gu Zhiqi’s guidance.
With these operations, in just a short hour, Tang Yichen managed to rack up one hundred points.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhiqi unearthed many good items.

Outside the Trial Tower, Su Yunling and Jin Cengran, surrounded by a group of people, talked to them briefly.
Soon, Su Yunling realized Gu Zhiqi was missing.
So, he hurriedly bid farewell to everyone and looked for Gu Zhiqi everywhere, but instead received a message from Tang Yichen.
[Fourth Brother: Third Brother, Gu Xiaoxi is dragging me into the Trial Tower! Help!]
That was the only message. After reading it, Su Yunling didn’t reply but directly locked his phone screen.
Sending just one message wasn’t Tang Yichen’s style, yet he only sent one, indicating he was already inside the Trial Tower.
However... it was unclear which Trial Gate they entered.
Jin Cengran wheeled over to Su Yunling and, seeing him staring at the Trial Tower, asked, "Have Ah Chen and the Little Divine Doctor gone in?"
Su Yunling nodded.
Though Jin Cengran had guessed as much, he was still a bit surprised to see Su Yunling nod.
However, he couldn’t deny his curiosity about which Trial Gate the Little Divine Doctor would enter.
At this moment, the two had different concerns but shared the same curiosity.
