Zhan Yunfeng and Cui Haoyan exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of hesitation.
Perhaps they didn't have the same confidence as Bai Li Hongzhuang's group, nor the same enthusiasm as Bai Junyu.
However, after a short moment of hesitation, the two of them made their stance together. "We have no problem either!"
Seeing that no one was backing down, a smile appeared on everyone's faces simultaneously.
"Now that everyone has made their decision, I wish you all the best in qualifying for the competition!" Emperor Beichen smiled.
"Is each assessment competition a two-year affair?" Xia Zhiqing curiously asked.
Emperor Beichen nodded slightly. "That's right. There are a significant number of demonic beasts in the small world, and each participant in the assessment competition can help eliminate many of them. If the time is too short, it wouldn't be enough to solve these problems."
"Why don't the sects send their own people to deal with these demonic beasts?" Bai Junyu furrowed his brows. Since the demonic beasts were constantly appearing, why not exterminate them all, eliminating the trouble once and for all?
"The number of these demonic beasts is incredibly vast. It would be an unimaginable cost to exterminate them all. If it were that easy to kill them, there would have been no need to create the small world to address this problem in the first place," Emperor Beichen spoke slowly. The existence of this small world was also a great concern for the various forces in the Holy Xuan Continent.
They had always wanted to resolve the threat of the demonic beasts in this small world, but they couldn't afford the price, which led them to come up with this solution.
Listening to Emperor Beichen's explanation, Bai Junyu nodded slightly, realizing that he had been thinking too simplistically.
"It seems like we're going to have a grand battle with the demonic beasts this time," Dongfang Yu smiled.
Compared to the struggles between humans, the fight against demonic beasts might be easier in some ways.
The White Lion's eyes brightened when it heard about the endless number of demonic beasts. In its view, those were not endless demonic beasts but endless demonic crystals!
If it went to the small world, it would no longer have to worry about the scarcity of demonic crystals!
"Although the primary opponents in the small world will be demonic beasts, the competition between cultivators is also intense. In any case, you need to be adaptable and not easily trust others," Emperor Beichen's deep black eyes showed a trace of worry. The two-year assessment competition carried significant risks, and he only hoped that the participants would return safely.
Although, that was impossible.
"We will!" Everyone nodded one after another. They valued their lives and only hoped to successfully pass the assessment competition and become members of their respective sects.
"It's still too early to say all of this. Currently, we haven't even secured our qualifications to participate," Gong Shaoqing's tone remained indifferent as he stated a fact.
Qualifying for the competition was not easy, and even if they thought ahead now, it would be of no use if they couldn't secure a spot.
"By the way, Beichen, how many slots does your Tian Gang Sect have for participants?" Cui Haoyan looked puzzled. He had heard that each dynasty had only a few slots, and their group was already quite large. It seemed that getting into the competition wouldn't be easy.
Upon hearing the question, Emperor Beichen smiled faintly. "You don't need to worry about the slots. As long as you can pass the assessment, it will be enough."
