My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 420 - 417 Sawfish

"Don't worry, with your aptitude, you will reach the Nascent Soul Stage sooner or later," Xuan Jizi advised.

"How can I not worry?" Gao Fei sighed. "My family is still waiting in another space, I need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible and then go back to find them."

"Cultivation can't be rushed," Xuan Jizi said. "You must take it slowly, step by step, and solidify your foundation in order to advance smoothly."

"I understand all of these principles... but it's hard to put them into practice," Gao Fei shook his head.

"Your mind is already in disarray, which is detrimental to cultivation. You should go out and clear your head," Xuan Jizi said.

"You're right, my mind is indeed in chaos," Gao Fei stood up. "I'll go out and clear my head, and resume cultivation once my mental state stabilizes." As he spoke, Gao Fei walked outside.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless. Gao Fei took several deep breaths of air, and his agitated mood slowly settled down.

Gao Fei walked slowly around the yard with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Sir," Chen San ran in hurriedly. "There's been an incident."

"What happened?" Gao Fei stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen San with confusion.

"I've received news that the Emperor is going to hold a grand trial, requiring all generals below the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation to participate," Chen San said urgently.

"A trial? What kind of trial?" Gao Fei didn't understand.

"In simple terms, it's an assessment," Chen San explained. "The Emperor has set rules for the generals to complete missions and then be graded. Those who rank higher will receive generous rewards, while those who rank lower will be punished."

"I see," Gao Fei's face showed realization.

"Sir... according to the rules, we all have to participate in the trial," Chen San said with a crestfallen face.

"If we have to participate then we will. What's the big deal?" Gao Fei said with a smile.

"I'm a bit worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about. I will protect you, and nothing will go wrong! When does the trial start?"

"In a month."

"Let's prepare well. In a month, we'll participate in the trial."

...

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The long-prepared trial finally began.

In the high sky, numerous airships sailed swiftly, each filled with people standing on them. The highest cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage, and the lowest was at the Inedia Stage. These people were all participants of the trial, including Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing.

In an inconspicuous corner.

Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing sat together, talking in low voices.

"Didn't you say that generals below the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation would participate in the trial? Why are there Nascent Soul Cultivators?" Gao Fei asked.

"I don't know... Maybe the rules have changed..." Chen San said.

"Can the rules be changed just like that? You must have remembered it wrong!" Gao Fei huffed.

"That's impossible. I have a very good memory..."

"We need to change our plan. Nascent Soul Cultivators participating in the trial is quite a threat to us."

"We'll just avoid provoking them. They surely won't make things difficult for us, right?"

"Hopefully that's the case."

...

Gao Fei had an ominous feeling that this trial was probably not going to be smooth sailing.

Before they knew it, ten days had passed, and the airships were still flying. Many began to murmur to themselves, questioning where they were heading. Wasn't it too far?

"Brother, what's your name?" a man with a cunning look approached Gao Fei and greeted him.

Gao Fei glanced at the man: "I'm Gao Fei."

"I'm Ding Shu, also known as 'Rat.'" The man said.

```

"A rat?" Gao Fei laughed, "That nickname of yours... is pretty unique..."

"Brother, let's form an alliance," Ding Shu said.

"Form an alliance?" Gao Fei was taken aback.

"Yeah," Ding Shu nodded, "We form an alliance and watch out for each other. Even if we encounter danger, we can deal with it better."

"This..." Gao Fei hesitated.

"Brother, if you're unwilling, forget it; I'll look for someone else," Ding Shu turned to leave.

"Don't go," Gao Fei held on to Ding Shu, "I didn't say I was unwilling... Forming an alliance is a good thing, we should look for more people, preferably Nascent Soul cultivators..."

"They wouldn't even care about us," Ding Shu curled his lip, "In the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators, we're just small shrimps, dead weights. They wouldn't want to form an alliance with us."

"They look down on us, but we look down on them too," Gao Fei huffed.

"Well said!" Ding Shu clapped his hands, "That's exactly how I feel! I won't lie to you, these past few days, I've been trying to get in touch with Nascent Soul cultivators, hoping to form an alliance with them. Without exception, all of them rejected me, and they even humiliated me, I was so furious I almost went berserk..."

"Getting angry with them isn't worth it," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Brother Ding, how much do you know about this trial?"

"I don't know much..." Ding Shu shook his head, "I only know that this trial is set in some remote place, it seems to involve searching for something. The more you find, the higher your score..."

"I see," Gao Fei nodded thoughtfully.

"You rest up. I'm going to contact others, trying to get more alliances," Ding Shu hurried off.

Watching Ding Shu's retreating back, Gao Fei's mouth curved slightly, "This Ding Shu is quite an interesting guy."

Ding Shu was very active, and within a few days, he had contacted dozens of allies, all Golden Core Realm cultivators.

A few days later.

The spaceship slowly landed on the ground, countless officers disembarked, then surveyed their surroundings.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The sound of flowing water came from the distance.

"It's the sea."

"It really is the sea."

"We actually came to the seaside?"

"Could the trial be conducted at sea?"

"Now that's interesting?"

"I've lived this long and it's my first time seeing the sea! So majestic!"

...

The many officers were abuzz with discussion.

"Swoosh!"

A man in a white robe descended from the sky, emitting a strong aura that applied tremendous pressure on all the present officers.

Gao Fei's eyelids twitched as he silently remarked: A master! An absolute master!

The man scanned the crowd and said in a stern voice, "This trial will take place on the sea."

"I knew it."

"I guessed right!"

"This trial is no simple matter!"

...

"All of you shut your mouths!" the man shouted, "I don't like being interrupted while I'm speaking!"

All the officers obediently closed their mouths.

"The task for the trial is fishing," the man continued, "There's a kind of fish in the sea with serrated teeth, about one zhang long, with a pointed head and a particularly large mouth full of sharp teeth. The serrated fish is naturally ferocious, with extreme attack power, and is one of the tyrants of the sea. Your mission is to catch and kill the serrated fish.

Whoever catches the most, ranks first!" He paused then added, "The first place reward is one thousand amethysts, second place five hundred amethysts, third one hundred amethysts. Those ranked fourth to tenth will receive ten thousand spirit stones each. Those ranked lower will receive certain punishments."
