Chapter 599: Chapter 596: Desperate Island Challenge Begins!_1
“Young Master Yang, be sure to come and find me in Seawind City.”
“Young Master Yang, ignore her, come find me.”
Before the female cultivators left, they didn’t forget to mutter a few words, fearing that Yang Chen would forget them and that they wouldn’t complete the task assigned by their elders.
Yang Chen had no intention to maintain contact with these girls. Originally, he came to the Black Dragon Sect just to find a chance to take revenge on the Black Scorpion Envoy. As for the competition, he thought it would be enough to help Beishan’s Main City save some face.
But now, it’s different. He almost died at the hands of the Black Dragon Sect, so he might as well go all out since the Black Dragon Sect wouldn’t dare to openly attack Beishan’s Main City!
Lady Silver Bell walked out, swaying her enchanting body. Everyone became quiet, knowing what was coming. Then, Lady Silver Bell spoke in a gentle and amicable tone, “Everyone, enjoy your drinks and fruits. Now let’s continue the lively atmosphere and commence the second round, the Desperate Island segment!”
Hearing the words “Desperate Island,” everyone’s expressions turned excited, including both the high-level elders and the young geniuses.
Not for anything else, but because the name of the Black Dragon Sect’s Desperate Island was famous and widely circulated in the outside world. Very few people were unaware of it.
Each time the Black Dragon Sect held a banquet, they would present this Desperate Island.
Lady Silver Bell said at the moment, “The rules for Desperate Island are simple. There is a total of eight islands, each inhabited by countless demonic beasts. These beasts will launch surprise attacks on intruders without giving up. Thus, the best thing for the challengers to do is not to wipe out all these demonic beasts, but to find a way to survive on these islands for one hour!”

This made the young geniuses curious, “What happens after one hour?”
“It’s simple. If you can survive on the desperate island for one hour, the prohibition will then teleport you to the second island. By then, you would have passed the second level. Likewise, the difficulty of the second level will increase significantly, requiring you to survive for one hour again! One hour after that, you will be teleported to the third level.”
These high-level individuals and geniuses exchanged glances and understood the rules instantly.
“What if we can’t hold on?”
Lady Silver Bell had long been waiting for someone to ask these questions. She said with a faint smile, “If you can’t hold on, just shout to withdraw, and the affairs manager of the Black Dragon Sect will use the prohibition to help you evacuate. But I hope you don’t shout at the last critical moment because no one can guarantee that we can help you escape immediately. Over the years, there have been many geniuses who were killed because they wanted to hold on a little longer.”
Listening to Lady Silver Bell’s words, everyone felt a chill down their spine. Swallowing nervously, many couldn’t help but feel scared.
“Lady Silver Bell, what’s the highest level anyone has ever reached in Desperate Island in previous years?” Someone asked.
Lady Silver Bell smiled, “Throughout the history of the event, only our Sect Leader Fu Longyue, when he was younger, has reached the eighth island. No one else has ever achieved that feat. Even our Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses have only reached the seventh island at most!”
After saying this, deep pride filled Lady Silver Bell’s eyes.
And Fu Longyue was quite pleased with himself.
Indeed, he was the only one who had reached the eighth island.
Yang Chen pondered thoughtfully, stroking his chin in curiosity.
“If the Black Dragon Sect wants to kill a genius, the Desperate Island segment would be the perfect opportunity,” Yang Chen muttered to himself, “Once these geniuses enter the Desperate Island, they will face only two choices when they come out. One is to pass all eight Desperate Islands and be teleported out by the Teleportation Array. The other is to rely on the Black Dragon Sect’s people to use the prohibition to evacuate.”
The first option wasn’t very feasible. Hadn’t Lady Silver Bell just mentioned that only Fu Longyue had ever made it past the eighth island? The highest anyone else has gotten was the seventh island. Which meant that most of these geniuses would have to rely on the Black Dragon Sect’s higher-ranking members to exit Desperate Island.
What if those high-level officials deliberately slowed down the evacuation process, causing some geniuses to die? Who would know?
When the time came, they could claim that the genius had cried out for help at the most critical moment, and it was too late to evacuate. Who could argue with that?
After all, people had been warned at the beginning.
Of course, the Black Dragon Sect definitely wouldn’t dare to do this frequently. But Yang Chen didn’t believe they haven’t done it before.
While Yang Chen was lost in thought, Lady Silver Bell had almost finished explaining the rules.
“Alright, those who participated in the Iron Hawk Secret Realm yesterday can also join the Desperate Island segment. If anyone is afraid and wants to back down, you may apply to me now,” Lady Silver Bell said with a smile.
Yang Chen guessed that some forces must have questioned the Desperate Island event held by the Black Dragon Sect before. So Lady Silver Bell said that anyone who was afraid and wanted to back down could apply.
Joking aside, with things having gotten to this point, who would willingly withdraw?
After a moment’s thought, Yang Chen also decided not to back down. Now that things had come to this point, he wanted to see just how powerful Desperate Island really was.
Seeing that none of the geniuses opted out voluntarily, Lady Silver Bell showed a smile, “In that case, my young friends, follow me. I will take you to the teleportation array of Desperate Island, and you will enter one by one.”
These geniuses no longer had any objections and followed Lady Silver Bell closely.
Now, when these geniuses appeared again, they had arrived at the teleportation array of Desperate Island.
Lady Silver Bell said, “I will now draw lots for you to enter Desperate Island in order according to your rankings. Lin Shu, you go first!”
Lin Shu from Huangsha City looked eager and immediately entered the teleportation array.
As soon as he entered the array, Lin Shu vanished instantly, obviously having entered the Desperate Island.
