‍The young cultivators listened to the instructions and they headed for the table.

Valian was standing next to Joln who was standing next to Adrian

Valian and Joln have knew each other way before they came here. So it's not surprising that they look like tag team. Always next to each other.

As for Joln and Adrian they are roommates. They having been living in the same house ever since the beginning of training. Joln is a lot more sociable than Adrian despite him being a little older than him.

Anyway the wolves looked at the table of weapons and they picked ribbons from their preferred ones and they headed to the stations.

Everyone tied the ribbon to their hand and they proceeded to sit down cross-legged as the older man had said.

Valian picked up a Jian ribbon and tied it to his wrist and he patted Adrain on the shoulder earning himself a nod from the beauty. Adrian was still not certain on which one to pick plus everyone had picked the most basic.

He walked the greater length of the table, trying to pick something practical.

He looked to check what Joln had picked and it was arrows. He looked confident in his choice but that is Joln s everyday vibe so it's not shocking.

Herim walked to Adrian and he handed him a white ribbon.

As Adrian took the ribbon, he looked around to check what could have Herim given him but most boxes were empty.

He might as well as keep it but if Herim gave him a wooden stick he is definitely going to beat him after this.

He turned from the table and he looked for an open space. He saw that Joln was next to Valian and some other wolves he had only seen before in the grounds

Kijad was now walking in the middle of the formations. As such it was a symbol that he has to move quickly.

Adrian walked over and occupied the space that was at that allowed full view of the room as it was the position facing the whole place.

Precisely speaking , the flowers are placed in a hexagonal pattern. The hexagon is not a regular one.

Four flowers are placed in a square like manner. And for the first two flowers, an imaginary line was drawn to join them. This line was then bisected. From the midpoint of the bisected line along the perpendicular bisector, eight feet from the midpoint another flower bloomed. This is the same for the last two flowers of the square .

And from the flowers at the ends of the hexagon, ten feet from them is the large slates of weaponry

He then looked ahead and saw Syin who already closed his eyes and had a Jian ribbon.

So Adrian was seating at the first flower and could see everyone.

Since everyone was seated, Kijad ordered the class

" Clear your mind and connect to the ribbon first. It's your acess key to the simulation. ", Kijad spoke while standing in the middle of the room.

He looked from to the young dewdrops on the petals of the flowers and he turned to face behind himself.

" Treat it like meditation. Inner peace is your greatest strength", he told them.

Two minutes later, the lines on the ground begun to glow, one by one , like magic . They glowed so beautifully lighting up the core.

One of the flowers on the body of the hexagon had all its cultivators connected. As such the small disk at the center emitted a light beam to the side directly above.

Kijad looked to the flower where Herim sat and he told them to connect.

" Maintain your connection", Kijad spoke to the cultivators of the glowing flower. As he did that another flower lateral to this followed in suite.

He looked it and then two others did the same thing. All flowers in the body had connected to the simulation.

And he turned and faced the flower that Adrian sat on and he gave them the green light as well .

Adrian was directly facing Kijad who remained fixated on him too. He closed his eyes and he tried to focus on the ribbon in his wrist..

Thirty seconds later he had manged to form a connection

The scene they were transported to was an icy plain. It looked how a dessert would seem where it to snow.

There was nothing but ice and more ice

Wolves do experience winter but they have never seen this much snow grouped in a single place. And it seemed like no matter how far they would go there would be more frozen land.

There was also an occasional blowing wind but it wasn't that cold to the skin to say the least.. It seemed surreal to think that their minds have the potential to transport into worlds like this. It felt real like they were really there but they knew they were not.

They surveyed the area looking to the sky occasionally when suddenly there was a cracking sound.

Everyone looked around and at their feet but they could not see past the ice. It must be really thick.

" Remember the goal is not to fight the creature, but maintain a connection to the weapon. You only succeed by doing so. This is a cultivation sect not martial arts school", the sect leader spoke as he walked around the seated cultivators

In the simulation they could hear him as a voice in the sky.

The cultivators listened carefully and just as they were listening,

A two hundred foot long snow white ananconda blast out through the ice and aimed for the sky.

as that happened the ice cracked so bad. they found that they were standing on ice that was atleast a hundred feet deep.After those hundered feet the only thing present was darkness

As the cultivators watched as the valley formed.

Even if this is not real, the 3-d effect is really exquisite and incredibly frightening.

They got scared commanding their brain activity increased and they forgot to focus on the weapons making the weapons seem like they are flinching.

" Maintain calmness. The goal is a cognitive connection to the weapon. The weapons will disappear if you don't remain calm", Kijad s voice pierced through the air. He could tell they were worried because all of their beams changed colour back in reality.

A very small number of cultivators regained thier composure and thus the reality of their weapons.

The snake can't see those without a connection or those who have a very weak connection so they would fine. However cowardice is not advisable if a wolf wishes to become a cultivator.

So they have to find a way to regain thier tenacity.

Herim who had the most child-like nature could not assess the situation therefore he couldn't see the danger in it His indrect gallancy earned him recognition from the giant beast.

As it charged for Herim, Joln ran to counteract it . He flew to Herim , pulling him and throwing him to sky, and then assuming his place. However the snake raised its torso to Herim.

Seeing this Joln responded by jumping to the sky and pulling the bow of his weapon sending an arrow flying to the creature.

Maybe Joln didn't think that through because the arrow bounced off the creature and fell to the ground. The beast got vindictive and hurled a scream exposing its mouth that six hundred teeth going in raadial patterns. And as it screamed two more eyes opened on its forehead

Joln protruded his eyes,

'Arrows can't do anything to ice.'
