"Trial grounds? Well… I can't bring you to see the higher-level ones since they are restricted to the students. However, visiting the low level one is possible." Cai Xuwen said.

Yun Lintian and Yang Chen had no problem with it. They just wanted to see what were these so-called trial grounds looked like.

The group immediately set off under Cai Xuwen's guidance. Twenty minutes later, Yun Lintian and others had arrived at an opened area in the middle of the forest. At the center, a circular stone gate stood approximately three meters, and several students were standing around it while discussing among themselves.

The arrival of Yun Lintian's group had attracted everyone's attention. The nearby students looked at Yun Lintian in confusion as they discovered he wasn't a student here. However, when they saw Cai Xuwen on the side, they quickly reacted and greeted her one by one.

"Senior Sister Cai." Several students politely greeted. 

Cai Xuwen was relatively famous among the students. Especially among the newly recruited student, as she often worked as a guide.

Cai Xuwen smiled gently. "Everyone can continue. I just come to take a look here." 

After dispersing the students, Cai Xuwen brought Yun Lintian and Yang Chen to the stone gate and explained. "This is the lowest level trial ground called Forest Maze. Through this gate, there is a small world that fills with a vast forest maze. In order to clear it, everyone has to reach the other side of the maze within one week."

"A small world? How did it appear here?" Yun Lintian didn't expect the trial ground was actually a small world. The creator must be extremely powerful and well-versed in spatial law. Yun Lintian had never heard of such a person before.

Cai Xuwen shook her head. "I don't know as well. It is said that Lord Sky Throne is the one who created it, but there's no concrete evidence."

Yun Lintian nodded his head slowly and was a bit disappointed. Since it was a small world, certainly he could not go in and was destined to return with an empty hand from this trip. He turned sideways and saw Bai Yun staring at a ranking stele in a daze as though he thought of something in the past.

Yun Lintian followed Bai Yun's gaze and saw several names engraved on the tall stele. "Jiang Yingyue? A moon's shadow reflects on the river. What a beautiful name." Yun Lintian exclaimed in a low voice when he saw the name on the first ranking.

"She's the current number one student." Bai Yun suddenly said.

"Number one?" Yun Lintian was surprised.

Bai Yun retracted his gaze from the stele and turned to Yun Lintian. "That's right. This record was achieved by her forty years ago when she was a new student. No one has ever broken her record until now."

Yun Lintian listened to Bai Yun's explanation and turned to look at a number behind Jiang Yingyue's name. "Two days and five hours? What does it mean? She used two days and five hours to clear the maze?" 

Yun Lintian had no idea how complex the maze was, but when he looked at the second place's timer, he could roughly guess about it. The second place had actually used four days and two hours to clear the maze. With a huge gap like this, it could be seen this Jiang Yingyue's talent was abnormally high.

Bai Yun didn't answer Yun Lintian's question, as it was apparent. Instead, he introduced Jiang Yingyue's profile briefly. "She is the youngest saint of the academy's history at the age of twenty-seven. She uses another ten years to reach the peak of the Saint Profound Realm. Her terrifying progress speed could be regarded as the best among the best in Northern Continent."

Yun Lintian's eyes wide opened after listening to this. Reaching the Saint Profound Realm at twenty-five years old wasn't something that could achieve by just a mere of having talent. Perhaps, she had truly possessed with a cheat-level profound vein and profound art similar to Yun Lintian's.

"She is the same generation as Brother Bai?" Yun Lintian asked. Bai Yun seemed familiar with this Jiang Yingyue just by his expression when looking at her name.

"You don't know, Little Brother Yun. She's not only the number one student but also the number one beauty. Who knows how many men were fascinated by her peerless appearance back then." Cai Xuwen suddenly interjected. She looked at Bai Yun with a smirk. "Senior Brother Bai is no exception."

"Oh? No wonder a look of yearning is written all over Brother Bai's face." Yun Lintian looked at Bai Yun with a grin.

Bai Yun touched his nose in embarrassment and fiercely glared at Cai Xuwen while the latter stuck out her tongue playfully. 

"Ahem… That's already the past." Bai Yun coughed slightly. He changed the topic. "Maybe if you're lucky enough, you might enter the same hall as her. However, the chance is slim."

"Which hall is it?" Yun Lintian asked interestingly. With Jiang Yingyue's talent, without a doubt, she should be in the top three halls.

"Moonlight Hall." Bai Yun answered.

"Huh?" Yun Lintian was taken aback. "How come the Moonlight hall ranks the bottom then?" 

"It's because Moonlight Hall has only five students. Although Jiang Yingyue gains a lot of points by getting first place on several trial grounds. The overall score cannot be compared to other halls with thousands of students." It was Cai Xuwen who explained. 

"Just five?" Yun Lintian said in disbelief. It was no wonder Moonlight Hall was ranked last. "Why is that?"

"As I told you before, the Moonlight Hall Master is a special existence in the academy. She never takes the initiative to choose her own student. These five people were the ones who chose her. Of course, many people wanted to enter the Moonlight Hall, but they were all rejected by her mercilessly. In the end, only five people were accepted by her over these hundreds of years." Bai Yun explained.
