Duan Lingtian knew nothing about what was happening above his head.
Or rather, he didn't notice their existence at all.
The difference in strength was too great.
However, as he continued to walk forward, Duan Ling Tian saw a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was filled with flowers and trees, and it was refreshing and pleasant. At this moment, there was a green-clad old man standing in the open space in the courtyard. He stood there with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed as he rested his mind.
Although the old man was old, he didn't lose his scholarly temperament. Just by standing there, he gave off an unfathomable feeling as if he was a peerless scholar.
When Duan Lingtian arrived outside the courtyard, the old man opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, his sharp gaze seemed to cross the barrier of space and fell directly on Duan Lingtian. It made Duan Lingtian feel like he had nowhere to hide. It was as if someone had seen through all of his secrets and desires.
Of course, this was just an illusion.
His secrets, his secrets, and even God Emperors and Ultimate Gods would not be able to see through his internal microcosm after he closed it off. Not to mention Godly Kings and Godly Emperors, even Godly Emperors and Ultimate Gods would not be able to see through the microcosm.
"Senior, I'm here to participate in the ten-star assessment."
Duan Lingtian stood outside the courtyard and looked at the old man from afar as he spoke in a clear voice.
He didn't know why, but whether it was the old man in front of him or the courtyard he was in, they gave him a fleeting feeling. It was as if everything was just a fleeting firework that could appear and disappear at any time.
"It's been more than ten years since an outsider participated in the ten-star assessment."
The old man's deep gaze met Duan Lingtian's as if he could see through Duan Lingtian's heart. "Little guy, I wish you good luck."
Almost as soon as the old man finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and a small three-story pagoda flew towards Duan Lingtian. It grew bigger in the blink of an eye and enveloped Duan Lingtian. It looked as if it was suppressing Duan Lingtian.
In fact, when the old man threw the pagoda over, Duan Lingtian guessed that the ten-star assessment of the Hidden Fog Academy would be held in this pagoda.
It was impossible for the old man to attack him.
First of all, he had no enmity with the old man.
Moreover, this was the place where the Hidden Fog Academy recruited ten-star students. As the host of the assessment, it was impossible for the old man to attack him personally.
It turned out that it was just as Duan Lingtian thought.
When the Exquisite Pagoda flew over and began to expand, the old man's voice resonated in Duan Ling Tian's ears. "This is the three-story Tower of Trials that the Hidden Mist Academy has prepared for Ten Star students. As long as you pass the trial, you'll become a Ten Star student of the Hidden Mist Academy."
The Hidden Mist Academy had different tests for students of different star ranks.
For ten-star students, the Hidden Fog Academy even prepared the Divine Weapon Tower of Trials.
This Divine Artifact Tower of Trial was created by a Divine Artifact Master of the Hidden Fog Sect, which was located behind the Hidden Fog Academy. A Divine Artifact Master was actually a Weapon Refiner, but because they could refine Divine Artifacts, they were not only called Weapon Refiners, but also Divine Artifact Masters.
This was the same as a Divine Pill Master.
A Divine Pill Master was an alchemist who could refine Divine Pills.
In the Realms of Gods, there were some alchemists who couldn't refine Divine Pills. These alchemists were not qualified to be called Divine Pill Masters.
"In the Tower of Trials, if you're not careful, you'll be in danger of dying.
If you can't hold on, just shout for help and I'll get you out. Remember to shout in time. If you're too late, I might not be able to save you. "
The old man continued, "Later, the Tower of Trials will extend a suction force and envelop you. Don't resist and let it suck you in.
Once you're in, the trial will begin. "
Almost as soon as the old man finished speaking, Duan Lingtian felt a powerful suction force coming from the Tower of Trials. Of course, although the suction force was strong, Duan Lingtian could still resist it. But after listening to the old man's words, he did not resist.
He allowed the suction force to suck him into the Tower of Trials.
Whoosh!
After the Tower of Trials sucked Duan Lingtian in, it floated at a low altitude. After Duan Lingtian entered the Tower of Trials, the originally dim doors and windows of the Tower of Trials changed a little.
To be more precise, there were some changes on the first floor.
"I wonder … if this little fellow will be able to clear half of the second floor's hurdles."
The old man glanced at the Tower of Trials and then closed his eyes.
Of the three floors of the Tower of Trials, one only needed to pass two floors to reach the third floor and light up the candles on the third floor to pass the ten-star test and become a ten-star student of the Hidden Fog Academy.
Now, after Duan Lingtian entered the third floor of the Tower of Trials, the first floor lit up with a faint light. That was the sign that someone had entered the first floor of the Tower of Trials.
As Duan Lingtian passed through the tests on the first floor of the Tower of Trials, the candles grew brighter and brighter. When it reached a certain level, it meant that he had passed all the tests on the first floor of the Tower of Trials and could proceed to the second floor.
"That senior … didn't tell me how to pass the ten-star test?"
"Pass all three floors of the Tower of Trials?"
After Duan Lingtian was sent into the Tower of Trials, he appeared in a vast environment. It was a completely different world.
The surroundings were shrouded in a dense fog.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
…
As the fog around him fluctuated, Duan Lingtian could clearly feel the fluctuations of the array's power. Then, one figure after another appeared in the array and charged at him. It was a group of array spirits with the strength of a Lesser God.
"There are ten of them."
In the blink of an eye, ten human-shaped phantoms surrounded Duan Lingtian. The number of array spirits was fully revealed.
Buzz!
One of the array spirits took the lead and attacked first. A flaming blade flashed, and at the same time, he displayed various profundities of the Law of Fire one by one.
During this process, it was not difficult to see that he had mastered all the profundities of the Law of Fire to greater mastery.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
After the first array spirit made his move, the other nine also made their moves. Although the laws they comprehended were different, they all had one thing in common, and that was that they all comprehended all the profundities of a certain law to greater mastery.
However, none of the array spirits had comprehended the fusion profundities.
"It's normal that the first hurdle on the first level of the Trial Tower is simple."
Although Duan Lingtian felt that the hurdle in front of him was meaningless, he also knew that it was not up to him to decide whether it was meaningful or not. No matter how meaningless it was, it would consume a certain amount of divine power for an ordinary person.
"Destroy them."
Duan Ling Tian glanced indifferently at the ten Formation Spirits that were charging at him from all directions. He casually lifted his hand and slapped out. Instantly, the raging Space Energy seemed to have formed a small Space Storm in the blink of an eye. It swept through the air and destroyed the ten Formation Spirits along with their attacks.
To Duan Lingtian, passing the first hurdle on the first level of the Trial Tower was a piece of cake.
Then, in just a few breaths' time, the second hurdle appeared. It was still the same spot, and there were still array spirits. However, this time, the array spirits were not in human form. Instead, they were array spirits in the form of various beasts. They were more powerful than the previous array spirits and there were more of them.
However, to Duan Lingtian, it was no different from the first hurdle.
…
Outside the Trial Tower.
The old man was originally resting with his eyes closed, but in the end, he could not help but open his eyes and look at the Trial Tower in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, he found that the candlelight on the first level of the Trial Tower was flashing at an extremely exaggerated speed. Every time it flashed, the pearl light would become brighter.
At first, he was not surprised that the candlelight would become brighter after a few breaths' time.
However, after a few times, the speed of the candlelight becoming brighter was still as fast as before. This made him a little surprised.
"It seems that after more than ten years, the first outsider to participate in our Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star assessment is quite capable. With the strength he has shown so far, it should not be difficult for him to pass half of the second level."
A rare look of anticipation appeared on the old man's face.
Although more than ten years was not a long time.
However, for him, who was mainly in charge of the Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star assessment, it was rare for an outsider to participate in the assessment for more than ten years.
"I don't know if he can continue to instakill the last few array spirits on the first level."
"If he can instakill all of them, then he will have a chance to pass the second level and enter the third level."
The anticipation in the old man's eyes grew even stronger.
Every year, during the Hidden Fog Academy's recruitment assessment, he would wait here for someone to participate in the ten-star assessment. However, after waiting for more than ten years, no one came, so he could not help but feel bored.
Now, someone finally came, and his performance so far was outstanding. Naturally, he could not help but pay attention.
"Hmm?"
After a few breaths' time, the light on the first level of the Trial Tower flashed again, and the old man's eyes also lit up.
"Not bad."
After a few more breaths' time, the light increased again, and the old man could not help but smile and nod.
When the same light appeared again, the old man's eyes flashed again.
When it appeared again, the old man's face finally showed surprise.
"The last hurdle …"
Finally, they reached the last checkpoint of the Tower of Trials. The old man's expression turned slightly serious. If possible, he naturally hoped that the young man who entered the Tower of Trials could continue to insta-kill the last checkpoint of the first floor of the Tower of Trials.
Once he could do that, he would have a great chance of passing the second level of the Trial Tower and entering the third level. He would then pass the Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star assessment and officially become a ten-star student of the Hidden Fog Academy.
"I hope this kid can do it. Even in the Hidden Fog Academy, there hasn't been a new ten-star student in the academy for thirty years."
At this moment, the old man was also looking forward to it.
