Death Train: SSS-level talent right from the start!

An hour later.

Chen Ye and his group walked on the empty streets of the City of Sin.

The ancient castles lined both sides of the street in neat rows, like a medieval town frozen in time.

The ground was covered with stones of varying sizes, and dried moss grew in the cracks, making it slightly uncomfortable to walk on.

They walked along without finding any trace of the monster.

There were no roars, no footsteps, and no signs of any living creature.

The windows of those ancient castles were dark and empty, like silent eyes watching the group of people walk down the street.

Qin Zhaoyang held a longbow in his hand, the bow arm hanging at his side. His gaze kept sweeping across the windows on both sides before returning to his own. He muttered in a low voice, "What's going on? What happened to the Seven Sins Trial? How are we supposed to obtain the Proof of Sin when we have nothing?"

Chen Ye didn't reply, but turned to look at Gu Qinghuan beside him: "Can you sense the monster?"

Gu Qinghuan's spiritual perception spread out silently, covering the interior spaces of the surrounding castles and the shadows on both sides of the street.

She shook her head slightly: "There are no monsters, and the castles nearby are empty, but passengers from the opposite train appeared within my mental perception range."

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow slightly: "Let's ignore them for now."

The trial has only just begun, and he believes that the people on the opposite train won't be so idle as to start a fight, since fighting now would be detrimental to both sides.

Zhao Hai frowned slightly, his gaze shifting from the empty street ahead: "The Seven Sins Trial has begun, but we haven't encountered anything along the way, which is quite strange."

"No rush." ​​Yang Minghui's voice came from behind. He pushed up his frameless glasses. "Since the rules say it will happen, it should appear. Maybe the time hasn't come yet."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of light materialized above an ancient castle about two hundred meters ahead.

The light rose from the spire of the ancient castle, slowly unfolding in mid-air, transforming into a treasure chest-shaped cursor with a warm, dark golden luster around its edges. It hovered in the gray-white skylight, like a lit lamp.

Chen Ye looked up at the cursor: "The treasure chest represents greed, one of the Seven Sins, so the ancient castle in front should be the trial of greed, one of the Seven Sins."

Gu Qinghuan closed her eyes to sense for a moment, then opened them: "That ancient castle has blocked my mental perception; it's different from before."

Before she could finish speaking, another light shone in the distance.

It was a rose-shaped cursor, rising above a steeple-topped castle, and it was dark red in color.

Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth...

Beams of light from different directions and positions lit up one after another, each condensing into a mark of a different shape that floated in mid-air.

Crown, mirror, sword, hourglass, treasure chest, silver cup, rose.

Seven marks, seven ancient castles, light up in sequence from different directions of view.

Yang Minghui looked around: "Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust—one of each trial arena is open."

Zhao Hai looked at Chen Ye: "Now that the trial has begun, let's hurry up and obtain the Seven Deadly Sins."

Chen Ye didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, "Let's split up. I'll take Hai Ge and Zhao Yang, and you take Wen Ning and the class monitor. That way it will be more efficient."

Gu Qinghuan nodded slightly, then glanced at the sin marks on Zhou Yating and Wen Ning's heads: "Zhou Yating's sin mark is lust, Wen Ning's is sloth, and mine is pride. So let's go into the Greed Trial Castle ahead."

Chen Ye nodded slightly.

Gu Qinghuan didn't say anything more. She strode towards the dark wooden door of the ancient castle in front of her. Wen Ning and Zhou Yating exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

When the three of them reached the dark wooden door of the castle, the door slid open on its own.

Gu Qinghuan didn't stop and stepped across the threshold.

Wen Ning and Zhou Yating followed closely behind, their figures swallowed up by the shadows inside the door.

After they entered, the heavy wooden door did not close, and a line of numbers silently appeared on the stone wall above the castle gate.

[3/10]

Qin Zhaoyang's gaze swept over the line of numbers, then he turned to look at Chen Ye: "It seems that each training ground has a limit on the number of people. Once ten people are full, no one can enter."

Yang Minghui's gaze lingered on that line of numbers for a moment before he looked away: "Then we need to hurry. Once the trial arena is full, we might have to wait for the next round. Time is limited."

After he finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on the silver cup-shaped cursor in the southwest direction, which represented gluttony.

Of the seven sins, these three occupy five, leaving only gluttony and sloth as options. The trial has only just begun, and there's no need for the team to split up and participate in the trial yet.

"Let's go then, what are we waiting for?"

Jiang Ning had already grasped the ice crystal longbow in her hand.

"Let's go to the Gluttony Trial."

As soon as Yang Minghui finished speaking, he sped off in the direction of the Silver Cup cursor.

Jiang Ning and Liang Jing quickly caught up with them.

Lu Qingchuan withdrew his gaze from the castle gate that Gu Qinghuan and the other two had just entered, and turned to his three teammates, saying, "None of you three have the Greed Mark, so let's go into this Greed Castle too, and we can look after each other with Gu Qinghuan and the others."

Shen Nanxing, Wang Zekai, and Gulina didn't say anything more, they just nodded slightly to each other.

Lu Qingchuan didn't linger any longer and turned to walk towards the ancient castle.

Shen Nanxing, Wang Zekai, and Gulina followed closely behind.

After the four people stepped into the castle, the number on the stone wall above the entrance changed from [3/10] to [7/10].

Qin Zhaoyang stood beside Chen Ye, looking at the line of numbers that were jumping around, and then glanced at the open wooden door of Greed Castle: "It seems that no matter how difficult the trial is, it's more important to secure a spot first."

Chen Ye didn't reply. His gaze had already shifted from the direction of Greed Castle, sweeping over the hovering marks and cursors in different directions, finally settling on the sword-shaped mark not far from them.

"Go to the Trial of Wrath."

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze, no longer looking in any other direction, and strode towards the direction of the sword mark.

Zhao Hai didn't ask any more questions and followed his pace.

Qin Zhaoyang gripped his longbow tightly and quickly followed.
