Time passed in a blink of an eye. Eight or nine days had passed since what happened in Fengyu Tower. As time went by, the Imperial City and the outside were filled with people, all of whom were cultivators from all over the mainland.
This is an endless wilderness. The sky is dark gray with dark clouds. Looking from a distance, the vision ahead is blurry, as if it is blocked by some energy, and there is a hint of weirdness.
On the open space, there are dozens of giant trees that are hundreds of feet high, scattered in five directions, like a giant formation, covering this endless wilderness. From time to time, sounds come from inside, and there is a gloomy smell.
.
This place is sparsely populated on weekdays, and even birds and animals are reluctant to approach it, but today it is unusual. Looking down from the sky, I can see countless black spots gathering below, and the noise is even louder. From time to time, animals can be heard.
The roar, the roar that shook the sky, spread everywhere, it was really lively.
As the sun shines on the countless black spots below, the unusually noisy voice stops silently, and all pairs of eyes are looking at the black stone platform in front, where there is a faint cloud and mist, and it looks like a treasure.
At this time, on the black stone platform shrouded in faint clouds and mist, there were flashes of blue light, and with the emergence of blue light, several figures appeared.
In just a few breaths, the crowd standing below started to stir. Their excited eyes were all focused on the figures on the black stone platform, and the noise gradually spread.
"I really can't hold it anymore, let's start quickly." Someone in the crowd shouted, causing everyone to follow the crowd and the sound was loud.
"hehe"
"Little guys, it seems that you can't wait. Please be patient. The participation of so many people is indeed beyond the expectations of our old guys, but it is still within the calculation. Now I announce that the Zhanmeng Academy competition will now begin.
." An old man with a majestic figure in green clothes stood on the platform, looking at the people below, and said slowly.
"The recruitment of students this time is more relaxed than in previous years, and the number of students is a hundred times greater. It is indeed difficult to distribute. However, let me make it clear first. Anyone who fishes in troubled waters will be severely punished." A short old man walked up.
In front of him, his face was cold, his eyes were shining brightly, and a terrifying aura filled the air, and he immediately spoke.
"Now I announce the requirements for the three competitions."
"First, all contestants in the Condensation Stage standing in the blue light will be transported to the outermost edge of the endless wilderness, where there are beings trapped underground at the level of strange demons."
"Secondly, all players in the Condensation Stage who stand in the purple light will be teleported to the middle of the endless wilderness, where there are medium-level strange monsters."
"Third, contestants who are in the Soul Condensation Realm will be transported to the interior of the endless wilderness when they stand in the golden light, where there are powerful strange demons."
"Each area has a quota of five. Within the prescribed one-month period, whoever gets the least magic crystals by killing strange monsters will be teleported and disqualified from admission. Anyone who gets more magic crystals can continue
Go deep inside, but please remember that there are some powerful monsters hidden there that can compete with us. You'd better not get close, but
You can also relax, the more powerful the strange demons are inside, the more restrained they will be, but you should not provoke them, do not do so." The old man in green explained all the rules for entering before slowly closing his eyes.
His eyes suddenly shot out three rays of light from his palm, which instantly grew in size in mid-air, and finally formed three beams of light, standing straight above the ground and reaching into the sky.
When the three beams of light soared into the sky, Xiao Jingchen, who had closed his eyes tightly and remained silent, slowly opened his closed eyes, and then looked at the three beams of light with some surprise, and finally raised a smile from the corner of his mouth.
arc.
"Brother Xiao, is this the place where the Zhanmeng Academy admission competition takes place?" A faint voice came from next to Xiao Jingchen, and Murong Yu'er was seen looking around, with a touch of excitement in her eyes, wanting to come here to give her
It feels very mysterious, but the more mysterious the place, the more dangerous it is.
There were people all around them. Judging from the appearance, the one with the weakest strength was in the middle stage of Condensation. Obviously, only Fang Zhiheng, who came with him, had the lowest strength.
Xiao Jingchen nodded after hearing Murong Yu'er's words. It must have been his first time to experience such a large battle, but he was very calm.
"With so many people participating in the competition, it seems that there will be no trouble inside. Although the short old man said that they were divided into three areas, who can guarantee that once inside, someone will deliberately cross to other areas to snatch the magic crystal.
, and there are only five places in each area." Murong Yu'er frowned and looked around, and saw a hot expression on everyone's face, thinking that they were all ready to move at this time.
There are only five places in each region, which really makes too many people want it. Someone will definitely die by then. This is inevitable, because the temptation of that place is too great, and it is enough to risk one's life to fight for it.
"I took a rough look and found that the people here are not mediocre, and their strength is not weak, but there is nothing to be afraid of, and we are not easy to mess with. If we lose our courage now, how can we compete with others by then.
"Xiao Jingchen smiled and said, she knows this place
Only Fang Zhiheng was at the lowest level, but there was no trace of frustration on his face. He must have been prepared, otherwise the pressure from so many people here would have been enough for him. Thinking of this,
I can't help but think more highly of him.
"knew."
Looking at Xiao Jingchen in front of them, the worried hearts of several people quickly calmed down. No matter what is ahead, even those who are stronger than themselves cannot be timid, otherwise they will fall behind in terms of momentum.
, just pack it up and go home.
Everyone may be blinded by what they see in front of them. After all, the man standing in front of them is not easy to mess with. Whether it is Ye Tian, Murong Yuer, or even Fang Zhiheng, Xiao Jingchen can feel that at this moment, Xiao Jingchen
That breath of fearlessness comes again
The handsome face and calm appearance are all concealing the fire inside. After all, no one here is as obsessed with that quota as Xiao Jingchen. There is no shortage of geniuses, monsters, and perverts here, but there are only a few.
There is a smell of perseverance and invincibility.
"It is indeed the legendary Human Demon Ridge. Just outside, you can feel the demonic energy overflowing from it. If you enter inside, the demonic energy will be hundreds of times stronger than here." Xiao Jingchen glanced around,
There is a sense of heaviness in my heart. Even when people are strong, they also have weaknesses. But strange demons have no weaknesses. Human hearts can be distracted, but demonic hearts are invincible.
But now these people are all powerful figures from the younger generation in mainland China. Regardless of whether they are all of them, it can be seen that the weight of the quota is so terrifying.
"buzz"
Just as Xiao Jingchen was looking around, there was sudden movement from the black stone platform in front. A deafening sound spread. Everyone looked around hurriedly and saw that the three beams of light had been fully formed. The thick light could illuminate hundreds of people.
shrouded inside.
I saw the light bursting out from those three beams of light, and I saw countless rays of light popping out from them, branching out over the entire endless wilderness, without stopping for much, and heading directly towards the people below.
"Little guys, no matter where you are now, don't move or resist. The three colors of light are identified according to your realm, and they will teleport you to the designated area. Remember, your
Everything is under our watch, go ahead." The old man in green clothes looked at the people below with a wide smile.
The sound was not loud, but it was very penetrating, reaching everyone's ears like a magical sound. As the sound disappeared, all the figures were shrouded in light. In just half a breath,
They all disappeared in place.
"Let's go inside. The four of us will definitely be separated. We must be careful. No matter where we are rumored to be, remember, move closer to the center. I will wait for you there." The beam of light shrouded down.
, Xiao Jingchen warned in every possible way, and then the figure slowly dissipated.
Several old men on the Black Stone Platform looked at the disappearing figures below, with a smile on their faces. It seems that with their ruthless old eyes, they could see some of the powerful people among them, but they were all named.
It depends on their performance next time, which will better help them become students in the future.
"Originally I didn't agree with the dean's opinion, but today I found out that he had expected it a long time ago, and I couldn't do it any better!" The old man in gray clothes who had never spoken had said with a bitter smile.
"Old Yan, I'm telling you that this time is different than usual, but you just don't believe me. Have you noticed a good talent? Look at your cunning look, how decent you are." The short old man said rigorously.
"You short winter melon, while you are cooling off, you think everyone has the same hobby as you and likes short and fat disciples." The old man in gray sneered.
"Okay, you two, stop making noise. Now that they have gone in, it's time for us to open the illusion, so that we can know everything they do inside." The old man in green said.
"The great elder is right. Lao Yan and Lao Gai have been fighting for their whole lives. You can't just rest for a while. It won't be too late to fight again after the competition is over." The last old man also spoke, obviously very willing to watch the two of them fight.
.
"Illusion——Open"
As the old man in green clothes condensed his palms and uttered a sound from the corner of his mouth, a powerful wave of energy emerged in the world, forming a vortex in the air. The three old men behind him also hurriedly formed the seals, and they were in tacit understanding with each other.
"Boom"
A low voice sounded in the mid-air, and then the vortex that appeared in the mid-air suddenly started to rotate at a very fast speed. In the end, it overflowed with luster, and slowly became transparent and emitted light. I saw some pictures reflected on it, and from time to time there were
Some figures appeared inside.
"Okay, the three of you each guard an area. If there is any danger in any area, go and solve it quickly." The old man in green always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he was anticipating what would happen when he opened the Human Demon Ridge this time, and arranged everything.
Afterwards, it turned into a ray of green light and disappeared into the imperial palace.
