Lu Sheng was startled, but he quickly understood. He was pleasantly surprised at first, but then his expression turned sinister.
Lu Sheng understood Zhou Hao's words. After Lin Tian obtained the Inner Palace spot, it would be time for him to duel with Zhou Hao. The two had already signed a life and death contract three months ago. In the duel, whether Zhou Hao crippled Lin Tian or killed Lin Tian, it would be a very normal thing to do. Now that Zhou Hao was in the Divine Vein Realm, he could easily do either.
Just as he was about to enter the Inner Palace, his status would increase, and his future would be wide and smooth. But if at this time, his Martial Physique was crippled in the duel, or even died in the duel, how regretful would that be?
"Falling from heaven to hell is far more despairing than falling directly to hell!" Lu Sheng laughed sinisterly, "As expected of Young Master Zhou!"
Zhou Hao's eyes were cold, "You dare to approach the person I fancy! You're courting death! " When he was in Greenwind Ridge, he had schemed to frame Lin Tian. That sword strike had already completely torn off all pretenses with Lin Tian. When he was in front of others, he would conceal it a little, but in front of his trusted aide, Lu Sheng, he no longer concealed anything.
… …
On the high platform of the Martial Arts Practice Field, almost all the disciples were gathered here.
On this day, the Inner Palace Selection had begun. Not only were all the disciples from the Outer Palace here, even some from the Inner Palace had rushed here to personally watch. After all, after the Inner Palace Selection, five people from the Outer Palace would enter the Inner Palace to cultivate. These five people would be their future competitors, so there was no harm in coming early to watch.
Below the high platform, the crowd was slightly excited, and from time to time, there would be noises.
"Quiet!"
A cold shout came from the high platform, and as this voice fell, the crowd quickly quieted down.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. This person glanced at the disciples and then continued, "The Inner Palace Selection, I won't say anything unnecessary. I will only talk about the rules. First, those who have reached the Seventh Level of Body Refinement can participate in the selection. Second, all those who have the qualifications to enter the Inner Martial Cave, and those who can last for two hours in the cave are qualified. "
"Third, all those who have passed the Inner Palace Grotto will simultaneously participate in an indiscriminate mixed battle on this high platform. The final four winners will be able to enter the Inner Palace. As for the overall ranking of the four, it will be determined by the ranking of the Inner Martial Cave's assessment. The ranking of the Inner Martial Cave will be recorded by the Ranking Stone outside the cave. "
After pausing for a moment, the middle-aged man said, "The reason why the four of you are left behind is because there is already one person in the Outer Palace who has reached the Divine Vein Realm. He doesn't need to participate in the assessment and will be confirmed as the overall first place. Of course, if any of the four winners are unconvinced, they can issue a challenge to that person. If they win, the first place will change. In addition, for the sake of fairness, all participating disciples are only allowed to use ordinary weapons throughout the entire process! "
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the crowd went into an uproar.
"Indeed, the rumors are true. Someone has stepped into the Divine Vein Realm!"
"To be able to step into the Divine Vein Realm while still in the Outer Palace, this is … terrifying!"
"It is said that the final four victors can challenge anyone who is unconvinced. However, who would be so idiotic as to challenge a Divine Vein Realm expert with a Body Refinement Realm cultivation?"
"Exactly."
"In other words, this selection is only a competition for the second to fifth spots."
Below the high platform, many disciples were whispering.
At this moment, a dry cough was heard.
On the high platform, someone walked out. It was the Martial House's Elder, Mu Qing. The Inner Palace Selection was an important day, so the Martial House's Elders would naturally be present.
Mu Qing's expression was calm as he looked at the disciples and said, "Everyone, I wish you all the best." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qing went straight to the main topic, "Now, the selection begins. All qualified disciples, head to the Inner Martial Cave."
"Yes! Elder! "
Below the high platform, dozens of disciples responded in unison.
There were close to three hundred disciples in the Nine Yang Martial House's Outer Palace, and a total of forty-nine disciples had reached the Seventh Level of Body Refinement Realm. Soon, these forty-nine disciples were led by the middle-aged man to the so-called Inner Martial Cave. The Inner Martial Cave was a huge mountain cave. Inside, there was a comprehensive formation array. The formation array covered an area of about a few hundred feet.
Looking at the Inner Martial Cave, there was a strange stone that was about ten feet tall.
'This must be the Inner Martial Cave's Ranking Stone. It can actually analyze the results of the disciples in the Inner Martial Cave and record their rankings. Truly amazing.'
Lin Tian thought to himself.
The Inner Martial Cave was rumored to be composed of a small Violent Wave Heavy Array and a huge Illusory Killing Array. The Violent Wave Heavy Array naturally pressured the disciples who entered, suppressing their strength and speed. As for the Illusory Killing Array, it would create some demonic beasts to attack the disciples. Of course, the Illusory Killing Array would not actually kill the disciples who entered. However, once the disciples were killed, they would be automatically sent out of the Inner Martial Cave by the array. After that, the Ranking Stone would use the disciples' time in the Inner Martial Cave as well as the level and number of demonic beasts they killed as a benchmark to rank them.
Looking at the Inner Martial Cave in front of them, many disciples were surprised.
Especially the forty-nine Outer Palace disciples who participated in the selection. Many of them clenched their fists.
"Hey!"
Lin Tian was patted by someone and Sushu appeared beside him.
Lin Tian looked at Sushu and was speechless, "You really came to join in the fun?"
Su Shu was currently at the 8th Heavenly Layer of Body Refinement, so she indeed had the qualifications to participate in the inner palace selections. However, Lin Tian knew that the reason this little girl participated in the inner palace selections was because she wanted to fight for Mu Qing's glory, just like last time during the outer palace ranking trial. As for the so-called cultivation resources of the Inner Palace, as well as the glory and status that came with being an Inner Palace disciple, Su Shu didn't care. After all, she was Mu Qing's last disciple. Just this point alone was enough for her to be proud of. In terms of status and status, how could an Inner Palace disciple compare to a Martial House Elder's last disciple?
"What do you mean by joining in the fun? Don't you know how to speak properly? "
Sushu ground her teeth.
Lin Tian, "…"
At this moment, the middle-aged man coughed and looked at the crowd of disciples.
"Now, you can enter. After entering the Inner Martial Cave, those who can last for two hours will be considered to have passed this round of assessment. Otherwise, those who are teleported out within two hours will be considered to have failed." The middle-aged man swept his gaze over the dozens of disciples and raised his voice, "Everyone, enter!"
"Yes!"
The disciples responded once again.
There was only one door in the Inner Martial Cave. Looking from afar, the door flickered with brilliance, giving people a sense of mystery.
"Let's go."
Sushu said.
Lin Tian nodded and followed Sushu as they slowly walked in.
As soon as he stepped into the Inner Martial Cave, Lin Tian suddenly felt his vision darken. Then, a dim light flickered around him. Slightly stunned, Lin Tian realized that Sushu, who came in with him, had disappeared. He was the only one left in all directions. In this space, he could not see anyone else, nor could he see the scene outside the Inner Martial Cave.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the space changed again. Lin Tian suddenly felt his body sink.
Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat. The gravity had increased!
Slightly sensing, Lin Tian quickly realized that this gravity was between two and three times the normal gravity. For the current him, it was nothing. Under this gravity, he could move freely. Of course, even so, his combat power would still be suppressed. After all, this was not the outside world.
Following a roar, a demonic beast gradually condensed in front of him.
"This is the demonic beast formed by the Illusory Killing Array?"
Lin Tian whispered.
Looking at this demonic beast, Lin Tianyi determined its level. It was an early second level demonic beast, comparable to the fourth level of the Refinement Realm.
The demonic beast roared and rushed towards Lin Tian.
"This Illusory Killing Array is really realistic!"
Lin Tian was shocked.
When the demonic beast rushed over, he could even feel its breathing. It was as if this demonic beast was a real entity.
While he was thinking, the demonic beast had already rushed in front of him.
Without hesitation, Lin Tian raised his sword and cut it in half. The long sword in his hand was given to him by the Martial House before the assessment. It was an ordinary long sword. The other disciples who participated in the assessment were also given weapons of the same level.
After cutting down this demonic beast, Lin Tian stood still and did not move.
In the next moment, another roar sounded. This time, a total of five demonic beasts condensed. Moreover, these five demonic beasts were all at the peak of the second level, comparable to the sixth level of the Refinement Realm.
"Roar!"
With a loud roar, the five demonic beasts surrounded Lin Tian.
However, Lin Tian's current strength was extremely strong. With his cultivation at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm, how could he care about a few second level demonic beasts? Seeing the five demonic beasts rushing over, Lin Tian did not move and still casually swung his sword.
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
In the blink of an eye, the five demonic beasts were completely killed.
However, everything did not end there. After Lin Tian killed these five second level demonic beasts, more demonic beasts condensed out of thin air. There were a total of ten demonic beasts, each of them at the peak of the second level, and all of them were extremely ferocious.
In this regard, Lin Tian's expression was very calm.
His hand raised and his sword fell.
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
Blood splashed in this dark space. Soon, the ten demonic beasts were killed one by one.
"It seems that in the Inner Martial Cave, the demonic beasts formed by the Illusionary Killing Array will slowly increase in level and quantity. This will work together with the Wild Wave Array to deplete the True Essence of the examinee. In the end, the examinee will either be killed due to exhaustion of True Essence or insufficient strength. In short, they will all die and then be transported out." Lin Tian thought to himself, "However, just based on the demonic beasts' level, there should not be any fourth level demonic beasts."
The Inner Martial Cave was set up to select Inner Martial Disciples from the Outer Martial Cave. The Outer Martial Disciples were all at the Refinement Realm, so naturally, there would not be any fourth level demonic beasts in the Inner Martial Cave. As for people like Zhou Hao who had reached the Divine Pulse Realm in the Outer Martial Cave, these people did not need to participate in the assessment and could directly enter the Inner Martial Cave.
Just as Lin Tian finished thinking, an even more shocking roar sounded.
In front of him, a demonic beast covered in scales appeared. Its eyes were blood red and its evil aura was shocking.
This was a middle level third level demonic beast, comparable to the eighth level of the Refinement Realm.
"As expected."
Lin Tian whispered.
Without hesitation, Lin Tian waved the long sword in his hand and rushed out like lightning, slashing towards the demonic beast's throat.
