Three days later, under Fei'er's supervision, Jacques finally completed the adaptation training. He hovered on the edge of hypothermia and death for several times, and finally his ability to resist the cold improved, but he was completely unable to reach the state of "adaptation" to this natural comfort.

Robert, who was hailed as the hope of the second-year students in the Water Magic Ministry, was also tortured by this training and became pale and listless.

Because this training requires 24-hour continuous circulation of magic power, using the circulation of magic power to maintain normal body functions, it is a double test of magic power and mental strength. When the excavation mission really begins, it means that the participants must maintain full magic power for nearly three months, which is a harsh requirement even for senior students.

Therefore, even if you survive these three nights, you still have to think about whether you can persist in this state for three months. Therefore, after these three days of adaptation training, nearly 20% of senior novices give up voluntarily.

"I knew you could hold on." Fei'er praised, "It shouldn't be hard to hold on for another three months, right?"

“Hehe…hehe…” Jacques’ face was as cloudy as the weather.

"I know you're reaching your limit, but I believe in your potential, and your lower limit will continue to rise. Here, this is the reward so far..." Fei'er's pretty face suddenly came up and kissed Jacques on the face.

"The man I chose can't possibly have only this level of strength, right?" Fei'er smiled.

"..." Jacques knew very well that this was just Fei'er's trick, so he couldn't laugh at all, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

The Lira brothers saw all this and were so jealous that they were about to explode. Fei'er tilted her head and smiled softly: "If we can complete the task this year, we will also give you a reward."

"Oh!" The two brothers' faces turned slightly red, and then their blood boiled.

"What a naive spare tire brother..." Jacques thought.

When the day of the trial officially began, everyone did not wear just one piece of clothing. Instead, they all changed into light and warm adventure clothes and gathered outside the camp.

Everyone looked down and saw that the blizzard in the middle of the abyss had completely stopped, and they could see the true face of the abyss. There was a ring-shaped mountain range made of white snow, one kilometer wide, and a circular basin in the middle, with a diameter of nearly three kilometers. This was the main location for everyone to mine.

In the center of the frozen soil, there stands an oval-shaped ice crystal that looks like a giant egg. It is about three hundred meters high and almost completely transparent. It reflects the sunlight and refracts colorful light, which is very gorgeous and dazzling.

Because there was no blizzard blocking them, Jacques and his companions could vaguely see the situation in the two camps opposite. The Sacred Heart Academy camp was also crowded with people, and it seemed that the number of people was about the same as that of the Imperial Capital, about 800 people. The camp open to other adventurers had only about 200 people.

"The permafrost core is thinner this year, which seems to be a good opportunity for us," said Fili.

"But this is the same for others. If the difficulty is low, it will be disadvantageous to us." Fei'er said: "Be mentally prepared, there may be very fierce battles in the later stages."

Without wasting any time, everyone used the Water Walking Technique to slide down from the high ground where the camp was located. After sliding for about an hour, everyone arrived at the foot of the vast ring-shaped mountain range.

Jacques looked up and saw that the snowy mountain seemed to be so high that he could not see the top. It was several times higher than the mountain behind the school, and it would take a long time to climb up.

"According to the trial rules, we cannot climb over this mountain directly. We must use tools to dig through it." Fei'er explained: "This is an area under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Army. We must strictly follow the regulations."

"This is to further eliminate challengers who are not strong enough." Fili added: "The permafrost ice core is extremely hard, and the competition for it during excavation is very intense. If you are not strong enough, you may become cannon fodder in the melee."

After a while, the Imperial Army arrived at the scene. After registering everyone one by one, they randomly assigned the trial participants to different hills by drawing lots.

"This year's ring mountain range has a total of 1,887 hills, just enough to be distributed to all trial participants." The leading officer shouted loudly: "Dear trial participants, please take your positions after drawing lots and wait for the mission to officially begin."

Jacques and his five companions were dispersed to different hills. Before they parted, Feier said, "Listen carefully, the sooner we dig through the snow hill, the sooner we can start mining ice cores. But we have to adopt a different strategy this year."

"What strategy?" everyone asked.

"We have to dig slowly, as long as we pass it before the deadline." Fei'er smiled mysteriously, as if she was confident.

"Okay, are you all ready?" The officer looked around and shouted, "Everyone has one month to pass the first stage of the trial. Good luck to everyone! The trial... begins!"
