What happened to "Lomont" was immediately reflected in the magic mirror outside the Star Tower. The higher-ups of the academy were surprised that someone had fainted at the start of the "Morning Star".
The most surprised ones were Sukrad and Bilia. At this moment, something even more shocking happened.
Not far from "Lomont", McGar stood up with undisguised hatred in his eyes. A sword appeared in his hand, and the sword emitted a flame-like glow. He walked towards "Lomont" step by step.
Everyone in front of the magic mirror was shocked. Although McGar's strength was still a step away from the true Saint-rank, his swordsmanship was so strong that not many mentors in the academy could match up to him. The "Blazing Sword" was his famous battle technique. Looking at McGar's posture, he was actually going to kill the unconscious participant with all his might. From the looks of it, the unconscious participant was very likely to be part of McGar's plot!
Bilia's thoughts turned quickly, and she finally calmed down. The "Lomont" that she knew was at least a true Saint-rank. Furthermore, he was scheming and had strange methods. How could he be easily tricked by someone like McGar?
The most anxious one was Sukrad. He shouted, "Reggiana! Open the emergency space tunnel immediately! Quick! "
Reggiana was the dean of the Starlight Academy. The space of the Star Tower was originally sealed, and people from the outside couldn't enter. The emergency space tunnel was a special tool made of the power of the stars. It could allow one to enter and exit the Star Tower in a short period of time. This tool could only be used once in each trial. It was originally meant to be used in emergencies. Who would have thought that it would be used right at the start of the trial?
Although Reggiana didn't understand why McGarr would suddenly kill a participant of the trial, he knew that the situation was urgent. He immediately took out a crystal and chanted a spell. A few runes began to fly out of the crystal and slowly fused with the runes that opened the door earlier.
It took about 15 seconds to open the space tunnel. In the magic mirror, McGar had already arrived in front of "Lomont" and raised his sword high.
Sukrad was burning with anxiety. The magic in his body surged. He could only rush in to stop McGar once the space tunnel was opened.
Meghar's sinister face seemed to be twisted with hatred. His hand trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chopped down. The unconscious "Lomont" did not have the slightest resistance. His head was immediately separated from his body. The flaming longsword danced wildly. In just a few seconds, he had swung it countless times. The corpse of "Lomont" was completely chopped into pieces. The broken limbs were burned by the powerful flames on the sword and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Not only were the higher-ups of the academy in front of the magic mirror stunned by this scene, even the challengers in the Tower of Stars, including Kane, were dumbfounded — this was too vicious! He actually used such a cruel method to kill someone in the Star Tower, and in front of so many people!
Sukrad's eyes were wide open. Bilia's eyebrows relaxed instead. She had signed an equality contract with "Lomont", and the contract's power had not disappeared yet. This meant that "Lomont's" death "was just a cover.
"Lomont" probably wanted to use his death to cover up his future actions. This way, he could avoid being a burden to her … Good move, he actually managed to deceive so many people in front of so many people. As expected of the collaborator that Bilia had set her eyes on.
However, why did McGar take the initiative to attack "Lomont"? Bilia's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint quietly seeped out from them.
Far away from the "crime scene", a short-haired, yellow-skinned man secretly gave Meghar a thumbs up, praising him in his heart. Brother Meghar is decisive, you're a real man! I, "Paglio", support you!
After Meghar's "venting", he seemed to have regained his sobriety. He was dumbfounded. Just now, he only felt jealousy and hatred burning in his heart, and he had a strong desire to tear this rival in love into pieces. He didn't expect that he would actually put it into action when he was hot-blooded!
Things were really going to get serious this time! Those who could enter the Star Tower were not ordinary people. At the very least, they would be peers in the academy in the future. Even if he was a senior teacher in the academy now, the consequences were not something he could bear.
At this moment, the space tunnel finally opened, and Sukrad's figure instantly disappeared from the entrance. In the magic mirror, a bolt of lightning went straight for McGar. Let alone the fact that McGar was unprepared, even if he was prepared, how could he resist the furious attack of a Saint-level Magician? Before he could even resist, he fell to the ground with his body charred black.
Fortunately, Sukrad still maintained his rationality. Before he found out the truth of the matter, he did not really kill him.
"Damn it!" Sukrad looked at the dismembered corpse of "Lomont" that had completely disappeared, and roared angrily. This was a true annihilation, with no bones left. Even with the legendary Resurrection Potion, it was impossible to bring him back to life!
This talent that he valued, this Quasi Teacher of the Magic Faculty who had a super talent in Magic Formations, actually died in such an inexplicable way under the sword of that hateful murderer!
"This matter was purely an accident. That was the academy's Teacher McGar. As he was too anxious previously, he used some kind of poison to cultivate, which caused his mind to be in a mess today, and he committed a huge mistake. No matter what, we will investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation. Furthermore, I can guarantee that similar things will not happen again. "
Regiana's figure appeared behind Sukrad, and his voice resounded throughout the entire space. "The rest of you, please continue with your training. This is the most important period of the Star Rising Stage. Don't let this affect your state of mind."
Regiana quickly came up with a plausible reason. Without staying any longer, he pulled the enraged Sukrad along with the half-dead charred man and left the space of the Tower of Stars.
The surrounding people dispersed and returned to their respective positions. They started to calm down and comprehend the power of the stars again. Only Ryan was feeling apprehensive. Dean Regiana had always been known for being strict and impartial. If he said that he would investigate thoroughly, he would definitely do so. The mastermind behind this matter was Neil, but he, as the person who came up with the idea, could not escape responsibility. Under the influence of this state of mind, Ryan found it difficult to concentrate and was unable to reach his best state. Naturally, the effect of the Star Rising was greatly reduced.
In fact, when he had just entered the pitch-black Tower of Stars, Chen Rui had already split into two. The one that Michael "killed" was the doppelganger Shura. From the magnification of Michael's hatred to the murder and the dismemberment, it was all caused by Shura's illusion power. After confusing Michael, Shura had already returned to his main body, "Paglio", unscathed.
The role of "Lomont" had already ended. He did not want to stay in Starlight Academy, so he made use of Michael's hand to disappear. This way, he would not be a burden to Bilia, as Bilia was an important chess piece for him to destroy the mysterious church. He had to protect her well now. The longer the line was, the bigger the fish would take the bait.
After dealing with the small fry with the attitude of watching a show, Chen Rui really calmed down and started to sense the surrounding power of the stars.
The power of the Star Tower of Stars was similar to the Star Power in Chen Rui's body, but they were not the same.
The Star Power was the power of the body tempered by the Super System. Regardless of quality or quantity, it was better than ordinary power. In other words, it was a high-end power of the rule.
This should also be the origin of the Super System. Once it could be fully understood, it could reach the highest evolution and possess unimaginable power. In other words, the step-by-step evolution of the Super System was to lay the foundation for mastering and understanding the ultimate rule.
Unfortunately, this rule was still too profound for Chen Rui now. He could not exert its power at all in an ordinary state. Only under special circumstances could he passively exert a trace of power, such as the Polar Star Transformation.
The power of the stars in the Star Tower contained a more basic and shallow rule. For Chen Rui's current strength, it was easier to understand and touch. Therefore, this was a rare opportunity.
Like the others around him, Chen Rui gradually immersed himself in the enlightenment.
A day passed quickly. In the magic mirror, the space of the Star Tower became hazy. Everyone seemed to be separated into a separate space. Their images gradually became blurred, and the light in their bodies began to shine.
This was the start of the second stage, the star ranking. The ranking time was three hours. The intensity and color of the light emitted from the body were different according to the level of understanding of the power of the stars. Gold was the highest, silver was the second, and white was the lowest.
The final star ranking in the three hours would determine the intensity of the third stage, which was the amount of the power of the stars obtained. It had a direct impact on the most crucial condensation of the tower. Generally speaking, the ranking stage could basically determine the level of the final condensation of the tower.
At the beginning of the ranking, something eye-catching happened. An extremely bright golden light appeared in the magic mirror. In an instant, it covered everyone's light. This golden light became more and more dazzling. It was almost impossible to look at it directly. It was like the sun.
The higher-ups of the academy were moved. Even Sukrad, who was still angry, revealed a surprised expression. This was the first time in the history of the academy's Star Tower that such a strong and pure light was seen!
This was definitely a genius among geniuses!
The atmosphere that was originally depressed because of the murder incident became lively. The higher-ups of the academy were especially excited. This was because the academy's teachers and students accounted for 70% of the participants in the trial. More than half of the remaining 30% could become the academy's teachers. Therefore, the probability of this genius coming from the academy was rather high.
Unfortunately, due to the special power of the ranking rules, no one could see the faces of others clearly, regardless of whether they were in the Star Tower or outside. Furthermore, this rule had a protective effect. Everyone was in a relatively independent space and could not interfere with each other. There would not be any incidents like McGarr attacking and injuring others. The only thing they could do was to strengthen their enlightenment and strive for a higher ranking.
The golden light also attracted the attention of the participants in the Star Tower. Who is this person? Such an intense light, could it be the person standing at the peak of the Star Tower this time?
Not far behind the golden light, Rambis also revealed a shocked expression like many others. However, she quickly calmed down and started to seize the time to comprehend her strength. The time for the ranking was very limited. Rather than being envious of others, it was better to do her best to improve her enlightenment and position.
Under the stimulation of the golden light, the light on many people's bodies gradually became stronger.
In the center of the golden light was Chen Rui. He was comprehending the power of the stars in a brand new way. He was trying to fuse this comprehension with his own use of star power. He wanted to find a trace of the path of the rules.
"No …" Chen Rui frowned. It seemed that he was about to touch it again and again, but he failed again and again. It seemed that he was infinitely close, but he always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he was getting further and further away from the most critical thing.
Could it be that he had turned into a dead end?
The instinctive feeling from many years of training told him that if he forced himself to go on, he would only continue to hit the wall.
The best way was to give up everything previously and comprehend from a new perspective. However, there were only 3 hours to compete for the ranking. One-third of the time had passed. There were only 2 hours left to start again. This was not the Super System, so he couldn't use the golden finger of time rule.
Once he chose to start again, it meant giving up the current first advantage. It would directly affect the later "Star Descent" and "Tower Condensing".
Chen Rui fell into a dilemma for a while. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.
In the magic mirror, the dazzling golden light suddenly dimmed and disappeared without a trace. This made the onlookers shocked again. What happened?
Did that peerless genius overdraft himself using some secret technique? Or did something happen?
Even Dean Reggiana couldn't sit still. However, due to the previous incident with McGarr, he had already used the emergency space item that could only be used once. Now, he couldn't even go in to see what was going on.
Many pairs of eyes stared at the magic mirror, hoping that the strong golden light would appear again.
The challengers in the Star Tower were naturally happy about this, but most of them were gloating. They originally thought that it was hopeless to compete for the highest ranking. Now that the strongest competitor suddenly weakened, it was a godsend opportunity. For a while, the competition between the challengers became more and more intense.
The end time of the star ranking had finally arrived. What made the higher-ups of the academy feel regretful was that the expected golden light never appeared. It was likely that the person was too eager for success, which led to a problem in comprehension. Now that the overall situation was set, the ranking would not change even if he pulled himself together again.
After the ranking was determined, the independent space where everyone was located began to move and change automatically. The strongest comprehender was moved to the center, and the rest were scattered in a circular radiation from strong to weak. Each space faintly formed a net-like connection as if it was some kind of mysterious formation.
An hour later, streaks of resplendent starlight descended from the starry sky, enveloping the corresponding figures within. The starfall had begun.
The figure in the starlight absorbed and transformed the power of this Star Descent with all his might. Very soon, towers that shone with starlight began to appear. Some were tall, some were short, and they were of different colors.
Every one of them was a 'tower', a tower of stars.
Through this tower, one could absorb starlight and continuously temper one's body or soul. One could even obtain a higher level of comprehension.
In the forest of "towers," one of the outermost lights stood out a little, not because it was strong, but because it was weak.
Generally speaking, those who could enter the Star Tower were not mediocre. Even after the Star Descent for so long, the shape of the tower had not solidified. It could only be described as "extremely weak". It was very likely that he was a "backdoor entrant" of some country or powerful force. Compared to the previous genius with the strong golden light, this kind of "idiot" who could not even complete the condensation of the tower was also the most "idiot" in the history of the Star Tower.
In fact, the "strongest in history" and "weakest in history" were the same person, Chen Rui.
