An Lin and Liu Qianhuan met up with Wang Xuanzhan again.
Wang Xuanzhan held the iron holy grail in his hand with a hesitant expression on his face.
"Senior Wang, you're so awesome!" Liu Qianhuan giggled and flattered him.
Wang Xuanzhan smiled faintly and said, "After I obtained the holy grail, Vice-Principal Yuhua has already decided that we've scored one point. Logically speaking, this iron holy grail no longer has any value. However, I have a feeling that there are still secrets that we can uncover from this holy grail. "
"There are still secrets that we can uncover?" Liu Qianhuan accepted the holy grail and caressed its surface with her dainty hands. A faint white glow flashed past.
"Hmm … the veined patterns on it are quite interesting. They're very smooth and full of a sense of flow. However, they're broken at the most critical juncture, giving off a suffocating feeling. "The more she studied it, the more excited she became.
Wang Xuanzhan could no longer see anything.
An Lin unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique on the holy grail and was able to determine that it was "iron-coated holy grail, not tasty". This made him wonder if his Divine Inspection Technique was a fake.
The two of them were at a loss. Just like that, they handed the holy grail over to Liu Qianhuan for her to study.
The three of them continued toward the white tower.
Then, they saw a small green river meandering past.
Liu Qianhuan saw the river and threw the iron holy grail into the lake.
Plop!
The water splashed high into the air.
An Lin: "???"
Wang Xuanzhan: "???"
The two of them stared at Liu Qianhuan in bewilderment. Liu Qianhuan, on the other hand, looked at the river with anticipation.
"Huh … this isn't the script. Shouldn't there be a River Earl jumping out of the river and asking me?
"Young sorceress, did you drop this golden holy grail or this silver holy grail?"
Liu Qianhuan stroked her chin and asked with a confused expression.
An Lin came to a realization and looked at Liu Qianhuan in shock. He was in awe of her imagination.
Wang Xuanzhan massaged his brows and sighed. He didn't want to say anything.
After a minute, the small green river was still flowing smoothly, without any movement.
There was no River Earl.
There were no golden or silver axes.
There wouldn't be any gold or silver holy grails either.
Liu Qianhuan picked up the iron holy grail in disappointment. Then, she continued to study it with a gloomy expression.
The three of them advanced in the direction of the white tower while paying attention to their surroundings.
But along the way, apart from some cute little animals, there was nothing unusual.
Soon, they arrived in front of the white tower.
"Pearl Tower? Why does this name sound so strange? "
An Lin frowned as he looked at the plaque above the gate.
For a pagoda to appear in such a place, it should be called some immortal pagoda, devil pagoda, or demon pagoda. The style was more appropriate. Then, they entered the pagoda to slay demons and devils along the way. After experiencing untold hardships, they finally obtained the golden holy grail.
Hmm … this kind of plot development is more to my liking!
After opening the gate of the Pearl Tower, what appeared before the three of them was a rippling barrier that blocked their line of sight.
A golden ripple radiated from Wang Xuanzhan's eyes, piercing through the rippling barrier …
"M-hm, I don't sense any danger on the first level, but we can't rule out the possibility that there are other creatures or traps on the higher levels of the tower," Wang Xuanzhan said after sensing the surroundings.
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan nodded. As long as it wasn't a trap, then it was worth investigating.
Just like that, the three of them passed through the rippling barrier and officially stepped into the Pearl Tower.
"Hahahaha, these people still fell for it." In the bushes not far from the Pearl Tower, the rock golem cackled like a tractor.
As soon as they entered the Zhong Long mountain ranges, they placed the high-rank Spirit Tool, the Pearl Tower, in a conspicuous location in order to lure the representatives of other forces into their trap.
The Pearl Tower was very good at concealment, and it didn't have any killing capabilities. Thus, it was very easy for others to let their guard down and fall for it.
Once others entered, it would be very difficult for them to come out. Without the permission of the controller, this tower was a sealed space that could only be entered and not exited. Its hardness was even more fearsome than the average high-rank Spirit Tool.
"Should we go over now?" a large swallow with knife-like arms asked coldly.
Huang Shan shook his head. "Let's wait a bit longer. If the representatives from the Garden of Eden also fall for it, then we'll win this round."
They didn't take the Buddhist Kingdom's representatives seriously. Right now, the Garden of Eden was the biggest threat to them.
After all, they couldn't beat them in a fight, and their score was quite far behind. Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for them to take first place.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the sky. "Buddhist Kingdom, Qing Yan, eliminated."
The three Hall of Creation representatives faltered slightly upon hearing this. Then, Hong Dou roared with laughter again. "One of them eliminated so quickly. The Buddhist Kingdom is guaranteed to come in last place!"
A voice sounded from the sky again. "Congratulations, the Buddhist Kingdom has received two points!"
Hong Dou: "…"
A cold glint appeared in Huang Shan's eyes. "Hong Dou, f * ck you. If you laugh again, I'll kill you!"
Hong Dou shrank back upon hearing this, and the flames in his chest also dimmed. He nodded and didn't dare to make a sound.
Dong Yan sighed. "We're in last place now. Are we going to wait here for them to enter the net?"
Their strategy was similar to waiting for a rabbit to jump into the trap. Although they could lure the enemy into the trap, they also lost the ability to move freely and fight for the holy grail.
The Buddhist Kingdom's score was undoubtedly a wake-up call for them.
If things continued like this, all the holy grails would be taken before the people arrived. At that time, it would be pointless for them to capture more people.
Vital energy surged in Huang Shan's hands as he maintained the Pearl Pagoda's sealing power. There was a conflicted expression on his face.
After a while, he spoke again. "Let's wait a bit longer. Let's wait for another two hours!"
Somewhere in the Zhong Long mountain ranges. Clouds and mist swirled around this place, and a dangerous aura permeated the air.
Qing Xin supported Qing Zhi as they walked forward step by step. Their bodies were stained with blood, and their auras had also become weaker.
Qing Zhi turned to look behind him with a pained expression. "Junior Brother …"
The three of them had been chased by the skeletal dragon and mysteriously entered this perilous restricted area.
As the saying went, fortune and misfortune came hand in hand. They had found the silver holy grail here.
However, Qing Zhi had used some kind of mystic technique in order to obtain the silver holy grail, and Qing Yan had also sacrificed herself …
"Sigh, what do we do now? There's only the two of us left." Qing Zhi hated himself for being so useless.
They had only managed to obtain the silver holy grail at the cost of one person being eliminated and two people being severely injured. Furthermore, this was under the condition that no other forces had interfered.
If other forces had interfered, they might not even have been able to touch the holy grail …
On the Blue Sky Plaza, tens of thousands of spectating students stared nervously at An Lin and the others.
They had seen Huang Shan unleash the Pearl Pagoda, and they had also seen An Lin and the others fall into the trap. If they were trapped like this until the end of the competition, that would be far too frustrating!
"Do you think God An and the others can still get out?"
"They definitely can. I don't believe that a mere pagoda will be able to seal all three of them."
"Why haven't those three from the Hall of Creation left yet? Are they still waiting for the other representatives to take the bait?"
"Hmph, the representatives from the Hall of Creation sure are shameless. Instead of focusing on obtaining the holy grail, they're resorting to dirty tricks and schemes," some students said angrily.
The members of the Hall of Creation wore expressions of pride. Not only did they not feel ashamed, but they also felt proud of their actions.
In their eyes, the result was everything. Weren't the representatives from the Celestial Court very bad * ss? Didn't they still get captured alive by us? Only the representatives who survived until the end were the truly powerful ones!
"Look, God An has made his move!" some students exclaimed.
