Under the leadership of Dean Su Xin, Lu Changsheng and the other ten people arrived at the city representing the Two-Star Academy.
Along with them were sixty-six Martial Master Realm seniors dispatched by the other eleven Towers, excluding the Haoqi Tower!
They were all Two-Star Academy students who had been cultivating in the Tianxuan Holy Academy for a year, far from what ordinary Martial Masters could compare to.
Moreover, their attention was almost entirely focused on Lu Changsheng, staring intently at him.
"This kid looks ordinary; he also wants to reopen the Haoqi Tower?"
"A Xiang, you didn't watch the arena battle, so you don't know, but he is indeed very strong."
"The Peerless Overlord Body should dominate an era, but this Lu Changsheng is clearly still too green. Who knows if he'll wet his pants after entering the Demon Cave!"
"When we enter the Demon Cave later, we'll fully encircle and suppress Lu Changsheng. If he wants to reopen the Haoqi Tower, he must pass this test!"
"I actually hope he can reopen the Haoqi Tower. For the past ten years, our Tianxuan Holy Academy has been suppressed by the Dao Yuan Holy Academy, unable to raise its head. It's too frustrating!"
"......"
Feeling these gazes full of Battle Intent, even Lu Changsheng felt his scalp tingle.
These were sixty-six Martial Masters!
And they were all Geniuses qualified to join the Tianxuan Holy Academy, each one stronger than the Tianlong Treasure Firm's Shadow he had killed!
After all, Baiyun City was too remote and weak. What powerful figures could there be in the Tianlong Treasure Firm's branch in Baiyun City?
Lu Changsheng stood beneath a towering pagoda.
In the plaza beneath the pagoda, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.
People were constantly coming and going, mostly Alchemists in moon-white robes.
This was the Tianyao Tower, one of the Twelve Towers!
"The top ten ranking battle will be held in the Demon Cave beneath this Tianyao Tower."
"The Twelve Towers of Tianxuan Holy Academy suppress twelve Demon Caves. Demon Race exist in these Demon Caves; they are cruel and bloodthirsty, a great enemy of our Human Race."
"So, one thing I must make clear is that this is completely different from the previous arena competition; there will be life-threatening danger."
"Therefore, it's still not too late to withdraw now."
Dean Su Xin's gaze swept over the ten new students before her as she spoke.
From Dean Su Xin's serious expression, this was certainly extremely dangerous.
But withdrawing was definitely not an option.
No matter what, he had to secure first place among the new students and reopen the Haoqi Tower. Only then could he obtain the clues his father left behind!
Seeing that none of the ten Prodigies withdrew, Dean Su Xin nodded in satisfaction.
"Now, I will explain the rules."
"The assessment location is a designated safe zone within the Demon Cave beneath the Tianyao Tower."
"Although it's called a safe zone, some Demon Race creatures have been deliberately left inside, totaling one hundred."
Dean Su Xin said.
"For each Demon Race creature killed, you can obtain one hundred heavenly profound coins."
"At the same time, you ten can also plunder each other's heavenly profound coins."
"Then there are the sixty-six Martial Masters from the eleven Towers, with six people dispatched from each Tower, to encircle and suppress you. Once captured, it is considered a failure."
"Of course, you can also counter-capture these Martial Master seniors. For each one subdued, you can also obtain one hundred heavenly profound coins."
"The assessment will last for ten days. After ten days, the heavenly profound coins will be tallied for ranking."
"Finally, when you encounter life-threatening danger, promptly activate a Formation within your tianxuan token, and you can be teleported to a safe point, which is also the gathering point after ten days. However, that also counts as forfeiture. Do you all understand?"
The rules were not complicated, and everyone nodded.
Those who could enter the top ten new students were not ordinary individuals, and at this moment, Battle Intent surged within them.
Lu Changsheng's heart began to burn with excitement.
Because he remembered that Purple Moon Empress had once told him that the Demon Race could be used as nourishment to condense the Demon Ape Phantom!
So, this time, he had to hunt the Demon Race even harder!
"Let's go!"
"The ten new students will enter the Demon Cave first."
"Three days later, the sixty-six senior students will enter."
Dean Su Xin led Lu Changsheng and his group into the Tianyao Tower before them.
This Tianyao Tower soared into the clouds, yet unexpectedly, there was another world beneath it!
After passing through a corridor filled with profound Formations, a heavily guarded dark black cave entrance appeared before them.
The entrance was large enough for ten people to pass through simultaneously.
Lu Changsheng observed the black cave entrance closely, feeling an immense sense of distortion, chaos, and an extremely uncomfortable aura.
Faint, chaotic whispers also echoed in his ears, making him agitated.
Roar!
At this moment, a Demon Ape's roar sounded, steadying his mind.
Lu Changsheng retracted his gaze, filled with deep apprehension.
Just an entrance could cause such an effect!
"This is the Demon Cave that connects our Spirit Domain Continent to the Demon Domain Continent."
"Go, this is something every student of Tianxuan Holy Academy must experience!"
Dean Su Xin moved aside.
Ahead, the black, distorted entrance to the Demon Cave seemed to transform into a giant maw, ready to devour people.
But Lu Changsheng did not hesitate, taking a step forward.
At the same time, Shen Aotian also stepped out, entering the Demon Cave alongside Lu Changsheng.
Their figures were swallowed by the Demon Cave entrance, disappearing from sight.
Seeing this, the other eight also no longer hesitated, entering the Demon Cave one after another in a continuous stream.
"I hope you all can survive."
"Especially you, Lu Changsheng. I have been waiting for the Haoqi Tower to reopen for ten years."
Dean Su Xin murmured, then walked away from the spot.
Subsequently, in the five cities, a light screen appeared in the sky above each.
On the light screen, ten names were displayed.
Lu Changsheng, Shen Aotian, Chen Longxiang, Mo Yu, Xu Zhihui, Zhang Mingyang, Sheng Xu, Su Rou, Xie Rongfei, Li Mingwei.
Students of Tianxuan Holy Academy all looked up at these ten names.
"The top ten new students have entered the final assessment!"
"I heard from a senior that they entered the Demon Cave!"
"The rumored Demon Cave that Tianxuan Holy Academy guards? It's said to be unpredictably dangerous, with killing intent at every step!"
"The Haoqi Tower was abandoned precisely because its students suffered heavy casualties in the Demon Cave and failed to suppress that particular Demon Cave!"
"It's a pity for Zhao Jianglong and Xiao Wanjian. Their strength is much greater than some of those in the top ten!"
"The ranking has already changed. Shen Aotian is in first place, and a number, one hundred, has appeared next to his name!"
"........"
A large volume of discussions soared into the sky, and the attention of the entire Tianxuan Holy Academy was drawn to the rankings on the light screen.
It was imaginable that for the next ten days, everyone would occasionally look up to see the changes in the rankings.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was already in a gloomy world.
A cold and evil aura assailed him from all directions, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
As far as his eyes could see, there were no signs of life; the entire land was desolate.
The other nine people did not appear beside him; they must have been teleported to other places.
Lu Changsheng held his breath, his consciousness connecting with the Refining Immortal Cauldron.
"Buzz!"
The Refining Immortal Cauldron trembled, guiding Lu Changsheng in a direction, having already locked onto a Demon Race creature!
"Very good, the Refining Immortal Cauldron is indeed infinitely useful!"
"First, I'll kill a Demon Race to get some practice!"
A sharp glint flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes as he rushed forward quickly!
