Boom!
With Tutor An Lie's announcement of the start of the final exam, countless trees burst out of the ground in front of the many students. These trees intertwined with each other, eventually forming a series of corridors. The insides were dark, leading into the White Spirit Mountain.
In front of the Nanfeng Academy team, Lin Feng and Xu Shanyue gazed at the corridor for a moment, then waved to the students behind them.
"Let's go."
As their voices fell, figures with different-colored phase powers rising from their bodies shot out, directly rushing into the corridor.
At the same time, students from other academies also moved en masse, making the scene extremely lively.
The silver-robed tutor from the Holy Profound Star Academy entered the central pavilion. The chief tutor and the old dean both nodded slightly at him and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Tutor An Lie."
Although in terms of strength and status, An Lie was slightly inferior to them, he was now a supervisor sent by the Holy Profound Star Academy, so they showed him some respect.
Moreover, An Lie was considered young and promising. Although he was currently a Silver Radiance Tutor, he had the potential to become a Golden Radiance Tutor. Once he was promoted, he would be a significant figure in the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the Holy Profound Star Academy, tutors were divided into three levels: Silver Radiance, Golden Radiance, and Purple Radiance. It was said that the hard standard for a Silver Radiance Tutor was to reach the Earth Fiend General realm, while a Golden Radiance Tutor needed to reach the Heaven Fiend General realm. The top-tier Purple Radiance Tutors needed to reach the Marquis realm, although even in the deep-rooted Holy Profound Star Academy, Purple Radiance Tutors were extremely rare.
An Lie smiled and returned the courtesy, sitting down beside them. He said, "Tian Shu County is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I wonder if this year's final exam will be particularly intense. I wonder if Nanfeng Academy will continue to lead, or if there will be a new force emerging?"
Neither the chief tutor nor the old dean could answer his question, just smiling. Then they turned their gaze to a crystal wall in front of them. The wall was divided into many mirrors, which would transmit images from the light stones already placed in the White Spirit Mountain. It would also display the积分排名 of all the students and update in real time.
...
As the atmosphere outside the White Spirit Mountain became lively, Li Luo also entered a corridor formed by intertwined trees, and he noticed that the more he moved forward, the more forks appeared, as if to分流 the crowd.
As the waves of people continued to split, the people around him basically became strangers, but Li Luo and Zhao Kuo were still together, along with a few other Nanfeng Academy students.
Continuing forward for about ten minutes, Li Luo and the others finally saw the end of the corridor, with a wooden door appearing in front of them.
As they approached, the tall wooden door slowly opened.
Li Luo and Zhao Kuo exchanged a glance, then cautiously followed the group into the door.
When the last person entered, the wooden door slammed shut, and a light shone, revealing a vast hall made of wood, thick and heavy.
Everyone remained quiet, looking around nervously.
Li Luo and Zhao Kuo stood to the side, their eyes scanning the surroundings. According to the tutor from the Holy Profound Star Academy, they would first encounter two evaluation stages to determine their base points. This place was likely the first stage.
Just as Li Luo was wondering, he suddenly heard some sounds. He quickly focused his gaze on the ceiling of the hall, where he saw two dark holes, each about a foot in diameter.
The sounds were coming from there.
The sounds quickly grew louder, and soon everyone noticed, looking up with caution at the two holes.
Squeak!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, two streams of blackness suddenly burst out of the holes, emitting a piercing sound. It turned out to be countless black four-winged bats!
These bats were robust, about the size of a basin, with sharp claws and red eyes, looking quite terrifying.
The countless four-winged bats flooded into the hall and immediately attacked the students below.
The students in the hall quickly activated their phase powers, using various methods to defend against the four-winged bats. At this moment, everyone understood that the test was to deal with the attacks of these four-winged bats.
Li Luo also activated his phase power, not daring to let the bats get close. He used his phase power to attack from a distance, striking down the bats that approached him.
As the number of four-winged bats increased, some students began to scream, as they discovered that if the bats touched their bodies, their积分晶牌 would flash red.
"Don't let these bats hit you, or you'll lose base points!" someone shouted.
Some were in a panic, wailing, as they had already been hit multiple times, clearly not getting many base points in this first evaluation stage.
"I see," Li Luo said, suddenly understanding. He and Zhao Kuo moved closer together, continuously slaying the four-winged bats coming from all directions.
However, the four-winged bats seemed endless, continuously attacking them.
After a while, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yell, "I can't hold on, I'm exhausted!"
Li Luo's gaze quickly scanned the endless stream of four-winged bats. His eyes flickered, and he suddenly grabbed Zhao Kuo's wrist, quickly retreating to the edge of the hall.
"Don't move, don't dispel my phase technique," he said.
He then activated his phase power, a faint glow spreading over his body and onto Zhao Kuo's body as well.
Under the glow, Li Luo and Zhao Kuo's figures gradually faded.
"Is this an intermediate phase technique, the Water Shadow Technique?" Zhao Kuo asked, surprised.
Zhao Kuo looked at the approaching four-winged bats and said, "Brother Luo, this won't work. Should we attack these bats?"
Li Luo didn't respond. The phase power covering their bodies seemed to shimmer with a faint light.
Zhao Kuo, seeing Li Luo's lack of response, could only grit his teeth and resist the urge to attack the approaching bats.
However, just as Zhao Kuo was waiting for the attack, he suddenly saw the four-winged bats that were charging at them stop as if they had lost their target, then turn and attack others.
"This..." Zhao Kuo's eyes widened in surprise. "Can it be done like this?"
He found it hard to believe that an intermediate Water Shadow Technique could directly avoid the bats' perception.
He looked down and saw that his shadow had disappeared, and he said in shock, "Brother Luo, your Water Shadow Technique is insane. It's almost like the legendary invisibility technique."
"Stop it, it's just using the refraction of water to hide us under the light. It's a low-level deception. If someone focuses, they can still detect us," Li Luo said irritably.
"That's still impressive. I haven't seen anyone use the Water Shadow Technique so well," Zhao Kuo praised.
Li Luo smiled, not mentioning that the ordinary Water Shadow Technique couldn't achieve this. He could do so because his Water Shadow Technique was assisted by Light Phase Power, the combination of water and light making the "Water Shadow Technique" extremely effective in concealment.
"We don't need to attack anymore. Just wait here for it to end," Li Luo said calmly.
"Brother Luo, not only are you handsome, but you're also so smart. The Holy Profound Star Academy really missed out by not specially recruiting you," Zhao Kuo said, praising him.
"Let it go. After all, it will be our alma mater, so we shouldn't be too harsh on it," Li Luo said magnanimously.
"Ah, I didn't expect Brother Luo to have such a broad mind," Zhao Kuo said, looking impressed.
However, just as Zhao Kuo was about to flatter Li Luo, he suddenly saw a figure being chased by the four-winged bats approaching them.
"Brother Luo, that guy looks familiar," he said.
Li Luo looked and his lips twitched, as the one being chased was none other than Yu Lang, the rogue.
"Ignore him, pretend you didn't see him," Li Luo said.
Yu Lang, a Sixth Rank Wind Phase, was extremely fast. Although he was shouting in distress, the four-winged bats couldn't catch up to him.
"Wait, Brother Luo, this guy is heading straight for us. Does he know we're hiding here?" Zhao Kuo said urgently.
Li Luo looked and indeed, Yu Lang was getting closer, causing him some headache.
As Yu Lang approached, he glanced at the direction where Li Luo and Zhao Kuo were hiding and whispered, "Brother Luo, Brother Luo, help me out!"
Li Luo pretended to be dead.
"If you don't help me, I'll lead a bunch of bats over and expose you," Yu Lang threatened when he got no response.
"Damn, Yu Lang, you're so despicable. You'll end up getting beaten to death one day," a somewhat helpless voice said. Then a hand reached out, grabbing Yu Lang's arm, and the light flowed, concealing his figure as well.
The four-winged bats that were charging at them again stopped, then scattered.
