The first to take the field was the young representative from the Garden of Eden.
Shirley, Augus, and Arthur. An Lin was quite familiar with these three. After all, he had lunch with them the day before and had interacted with them.
Arthur was a Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivator. He took out a silver longbow and the vital energy between heaven and earth surged violently to form a golden arrow that shot forth.
Boom!
The arrow struck the stone tablet and exploded. The explosion of energy caused the earth to tremble.
Fortunately, the spell formation suppressed the shockwave and weakened it. When the shockwave reached An Lin and the others, they only felt a gust of wind.
The black stone tablet didn't budge in the slightest after being struck by the shockwave. Instead, it displayed a number: Earth Rank, Elementary.
"Arthur, seven points!" Bodhisattva Hui Ming announced.
The next person was Shirley, who was going to show off her spells.
She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was a beautiful maiden receiving a gift from the heavens.
Immediately afterward, a white light appeared around her and swirled around her like a gentle breeze. This was the embryonic form of a domain!
Balls of light imbued with powerful vitality appeared in her hands and floated toward the black stone tablet before fusing into it.
The stone tablet trembled and the number appeared again: Earth Rank, Advanced.
"Shirley, nine points!" Bodhisattva Hui Ming announced.
Finally, it was Augus' turn.
He was able to defeat An Lin and Dabai with a single strike, so he was a powerful cultivator of the Soul Formation Stage like Wang Xuanzhan.
This time, he unleashed the same Divine Punishment — White Spinning Heavenly Pillar.
However, he didn't hold back this time. White holy light descended from the sky and crashed into the black stone tablet, creating a blinding explosion.
Even with the protection of the spell formation, the competition platform still cracked open under the devastating might of the pillar of light. Terrifying energy radiated outward, and An Lin was standing quite a distance away from the pillar of light, but he was still forced back a couple of steps by the shockwave.
"Heaven Rank, Elementary.
"Augus, ten points!"
This time, the tens of thousands of spectators couldn't help but let out cries of surprise.
The Garden of Eden was the first to take the field, and their performance was very impressive. They had a total of twenty-six points, putting a lot of pressure on the other three teams.
After that, it was time for the representatives from the Hall of Creation.
Hong Dou, Dong Yan, and Huang Shan received seven, eight, and nine points respectively, for a total of twenty-four points.
As expected, Hong Dou, who was locked in a stalemate with An Lin, was the weakest. This made An Lin very anxious.
The representative team from the Buddhist Kingdom also took the stage. Qing Zhi, Qing Yan, and Qing Xin obtained nine, eight, and eight points respectively, for a total of twenty-five points.
The scores of the three teams were very close, with Garden of Eden in the lead for now.
It was time for the representatives of the Celestial Court, An Lin and his team.
An Lin looked toward the other teams to discover Hong Dou smiling smugly at him. It was as if he was saying, "So what if I got seven points? You're at the bottom anyway, so I won't be embarrassed."
Damn, is this the contempt of a bad student?!
For some reason, An Lin's chest tightened at the sight of Hong Dou's face.
Wang Xuanzhan was the first to take the stage. He possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Tribe and was extremely proficient in lightning spell techniques. His Lightning Dragon Domain was like the rumbling of ten thousand bolts of lightning, instantly stunning the entire audience.
In the end, his thigh received a Heaven Rank Initial Stage evaluation, the same as Augus.
Wang Xuanzhan pursed his lips, seemingly dissatisfied with this kind of score. However, he still walked back to An Lin's side.
Next, it was Liu Qianhuan's turn.
She was the second student on the Heaven Roll of the university, a woman who possessed both beauty and strength. It was rumored that she had already reached the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage.
As long as Liu Qianhuan performed well, An Lin would be able to relax a lot.
But for some reason, An Lin just couldn't help but feel worried about Sister Liu.
"Heehee, it's finally my turn to perform!" Liu Qianhuan walked forward with a smile. Her purple eyes were like twinkling stars, appearing extremely vivid and captivating.
Liu Qianhuan's appearance on the stage drew cheers from the tens of thousands of male students in the plaza.
She looked at the black stone monument before her and took a deep breath. Then, she extended her palms and pointed them toward the stone monument from afar.
The six-feathered staff hovered in front of her and rotated rapidly, accumulating a terrifying amount of energy.
"Eat this: Final Spark!"
A crisp sound rang out as energy gushed forth from the staff, forming a pink pillar of light. Like a laser cannon, the pillar of light crashed into the black stone monument.
Boom! The pillar of energy exploded with extreme heat, causing gale-force winds to howl.
An Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The power of this attack was indeed terrifying, so he had a ninety percent chance of winning.
A number began to appear on the black stone monument. "Earth Rank Initial Stage."
Bodhisattva Hui Ming spoke again, "Liu Qianhuan, seventy percent."
"Wh … What? Only seventy percent?!"
An Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
Not only him, but the tens of thousands of spectators on the plaza were also momentarily dazed. Then, they all began to raise a commotion.
"I don't accept this! Why is it only seventy percent? My Final Spark is invincible, so it should at least be eleven percent! "Liu Qianhuan also raised her brows and questioned Hui Ming loudly.
Hui Ming's face convulsed slightly. He put his palms together and explained calmly, "Although Benefactor Liu's spell technique is powerful, it only has the form. It's like a deliberate imitation of something. There's only the shell, but there's no intent realm or comprehension. "
His voice wasn't loud, but the tens of thousands of spectators could clearly hear his explanation.
There were Return to Void Stage mighty figures spectating, so if there was an error in their judgment, these people would definitely point it out on the spot.
The students weren't stupid. After hearing his explanation, they quickly calmed down. However, they couldn't help but look a little disappointed.
Liu Qianhuan pouted and muttered under her breath as she walked back to An Lin's side. As she walked, she berated the world for its lack of taste and its inability to appreciate beauty.
The Celestial Court had one ten points and one seven points respectively. It felt like they had started anticlimactic.
Especially the Hall of Creation. They had initially thought that their total score was going to be at the bottom, but who would've thought that the second student of the Celestial Court, a Half-Step Soul Formation Stage cultivator, would only get a score of seven points …
They instantly felt like they were in the bag!
Hong Dou chuckled. "An Lin is at most tied with me. He'll either get a score of seven or a score of six points in the spell technique examination."
The tens of thousands of students on the plaza also felt like they were in the bag.
"Ten plus seven plus twelve, that's a total of twenty-nine points …"
"He can't even get thirty points, how embarrassing."
"It's fine as long as he gets first place. If he performs too well, the other three powers won't want to play with us anymore."
"That's true. God An should try to be a little more perverted this time and get around ten points. That'll make the competition more interesting …"
…
It was now An Lin's turn to take the stage.
The entire plaza instantly erupted into raucous cheers. This was a treatment that none of the previous contestants had received.
Hong Dou was startled by the cheers. "What's going on? Why is An Lin so popular?!"
The representatives of the Hall of Creation were all strange species and had almost no interaction with the students. Thus, they didn't know just how soul-stirring the legend of An Lin was.
An Lin instantly felt a mountain of pressure upon hearing the cheers.
Although he was thick-skinned, he was still someone who cared about his reputation. He really didn't want to disappoint everyone.
Even Hong Dou and Arthur, who performed slightly worse than the others, were all top-notch prodigies of their respective powers, so the spell techniques they used would definitely not be inferior.
He estimated that the Mountain Quaking Fist would only get him around five points. If he used the Mountain Quaking Lightning Fist well, it would probably get him around six to seven points. That was completely at the bottom of the rankings …
As for the Six Strikes of the War God, even though the Flowing Wind technique was profound, it wasn't powerful enough. Drawing on the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword, there was no way that it would be recorded in the spell technique evaluation, so he couldn't use it either.
The only thing he could use seemed to be that ultimate weapon …
As long as he was careful, he should be fine.
An Lin took a deep breath and made up his mind. He made his way over to Wang Xuanzhan and said, "Senior Wang, I'm going to use a ultimate weapon later. I hope you can be by my side to protect me."
Wang Xuanzhan faltered slightly upon hearing this. "You're going to use your true strength?! No … If you're going to use your true strength, there's no need for me to protect you … "
"You're right, I'm still of the Spirit Nurturing Initial Stage.
"However, when I use this spell technique … even I'm afraid of myself!
"That's why I want to ask you to protect me from the shockwaves," An Lin said with a serious expression.
For some reason, Wang Xuanzhan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at An Lin's sincere expression. He didn't dare to agree.
"Wow! An Lin, are you going to use your ultimate technique? I'll protect you too! I'll use my Prismatic Barrier! "Liu Qianhuan also joined in excitedly upon hearing this.
Wang Xuanzhan grimaced. Liu Qianhuan had already joined in, so he couldn't back down. Thus, he also gritted his teeth and agreed.
Just like that, An Lin walked toward the black stone monument under everyone's expectant gazes.
This time, he was going to turn the tide!
