The Dragon Bone Tower opened once every seven years, and every time, the Martial Arts Cultivators who entered would suffer heavy casualties.
Even so, the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm still encouraged their disciples to enter and fight for some treasures. That was because every martial arts cultivator who came out of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower would have a much higher level of martial arts and comprehensive ability than before.
Although the Dragon Bone Tower had a high mortality rate, it was also a great opportunity for Martial Arts Cultivators.
However, Xuanji Shanhai had never expected that his younger brother, Xuanji Tianchen, who had already stepped into the Renhua Realm, would die in the Dragon Bone Tower.
"All of you must have gained something good to be able to come out of the Dragon Bone Tower. Now, the disciples of the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm can leave first. Those who are participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection, come to me. "
Under the gaze of Bei Tianyi, the Dean, and the other four supervisors, Xuanji Shanhai did not think much of it. He merely said to the crowd according to the rules, "The final round of the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection has ended. The top twelve with overall scores will be able to join the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm and become our disciples!"
Xuanji Shanhai's words immediately made all the Martial Arts Cultivators participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection nervous.
All of them had gained something in the Dragon Bone Tower. It was either ores, herbs, or treasures such as the souls of exotic beasts. Who knew how many would be needed to make it to the top twelve?
One by one, they came before Xuanji Shanhai and the four supervisors and showed them what they had obtained in the Dragon Bone Tower.
"Yan Huanmo, obtained four first-grade treasures and one second-grade treasure. His overall score is 60 points … In addition to his performance in the previous rounds, his total score is 202 points!"
Xuanji Shanhai began to calculate the overall scores of everyone.
"This girl will definitely be able to join the Northern Academy of the Heavenly Mandate Realm."
The four overseers looked at each other and nodded. They had a clear idea of what to do.
"Man Xin, obtained five first-grade treasures. His overall score for this round is 50 points. His total score is 190 points!"
Man Xin's overall score was soon out, which made many look at him in a different light. Even the four supervisors still remembered this unreasonable man who fought without any regard for his life.
"Ji Tianqi obtained 11 first-grade treasures, 6 second-grade treasures, and 1 third-grade treasure. His score for this round is 200 points."
At this point, Xuanji Shan Hai took a look at Ji Tianqi in the crowd. This person's performance in the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower had truly surprised him.
Over the years, there were only a handful of people who could score 200 points in the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower. Ji Tianqi was truly talented. Not only that, but his combat reflexes were also outstanding.
There was no doubt that even if Ji Tianqi did not get the Ultimate Divine Palace, he would still be the first among those who participated in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection.
"Eater Gentleman, this round's score is 150 points …"
"Xue Lan, this round's score is 160 points …"
"Silent Death, 80 points!"
When Mo Shang's score was read out, Eater Gentleman and Xue Lan glanced at him. They had been traveling with Mo Shang, and they had taken turns distributing the treasures they obtained.
Xue Lan and Eater Gentleman both had 150 points and 160 points. It was impossible for Mo Shang to only have half. The only possibility was that Mo Shang was unwilling to hand over half of the treasures to the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate, so he had hidden them!
In reality, many of the treasures obtained in the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower were not of direct use to the martial arts practitioners, such as ores and herbs. They were useless to them, so it was better to hand them over to the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
As for the souls of exotic beasts, each person could only absorb one. It was useless to have more.
Mo Shang probably wanted to collect the souls of exotic beasts and bring them back to his clan.
Moreover, even if he scored 80 points in this round, his overall score would definitely be in the top 12.
"Tian Yutian, this round's score is 100 points!"
"Lu Xiu, 70 points."
Soon, more people's scores were tabulated.
"The 12 people who can finally join our Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate are the following: Ji Tianqi, Silent Death, Eater Gentleman, Xue Lan, Brother Human, and Yun Ze. These are the six martial arts practitioners of the Celestial Realm. In addition, among the cultivators of the Rank Nine True Spirit, Yan Huan Mo, Man Xin, and Tian Yutian … The six of you can join our Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate! "
Lu Xiu, Tian Yutian's brother, scored too low in this round and did not seize the opportunity to join the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
This had something to do with his personality. Lu Xiu was old and sought stability. Even if he could not obtain the treasures, he would not want to risk his life. Because of this, he was too stable, which led to his low final score.
What surprised everyone was that the God-worshipping Eagle from Dragon Dou did not come out of the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower.
No one knew that the God-worshipping Eagle had died at the hands of Long Yu.
There were also quite a number of people who found it strange that Long Yu was nowhere to be seen. However, after looking around, they realized that it was no longer strange. Long Yu had offended too many people. The chances of him encountering enemies in the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower were very high. It was only normal that he had not come out.
"The exit passage of the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower is now completely closed. Those who have not come out are definitely dead inside."
When Xuanji Shan Hai said this, his face was extremely gloomy. "I will not announce the list of the dead. However, if there are any of your friends among them, you don't have to wait."
After saying this, Xuanji Shan Hai raised his hand and prepared to leave with everyone.
"Long Yu did not come out?"
Yan Huanmo swept his gaze across the surroundings again, and he didn't know what to feel.
"Don't worry, Sister Yan. Brother Long has always been someone who can create miracles. Who knows, he might come out soon?"
Man Xin comforted her, but even he did not believe what he said.
Even the head of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate could not escape after the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower was closed, let alone Long Yu.
Now that Long Yu had not come out, it was very likely that he had already …
"I'm older than you."
Hearing Man Xin say "Sister Yan", Yan Huan Mo could not help but shake his head. "I hope I can see him again. It's all thanks to him that we were able to get to this point …"
If it were not for Long Yu, Yan Huan Mo and Man Xin would definitely not have been able to join the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate and become disciples.
"Brother Long did not come out, but the three of us can help each other after joining the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate."
Tian Yutian caught up with the two of them from behind and patted them on their shoulders with a smile.
However, his smile was full of bitterness.
Long Yu did not come out, which meant that he had basically been declared dead. Moreover, Lu Xiu, whom Tian Yutian had always regarded as a brother, was also not able to join the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
Tian Yutian's wish was to join the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate with Lu Xiu and become a disciple of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
However, his wish was fulfilled now, but Lu Xiu did not get this opportunity!
After entering the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower, everyone appeared in different directions. Tian Yutian looked everywhere but could not find Lu Xiu. After all, the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower was too vast.
Tian Yutian was not happy with such an outcome.
So what if he could join the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate?
No one could share this joy with him, so he could not truly be happy!
After leaving the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower, the other martial arts practitioners participating in the Heavenly Mandate Sacred Selection would all be sent back to the Heavenly Mandate Continent and back to their countries.
For example, Long Hen, Chu Huang, Yu Qianning, Linglong Yu, and so on.
These martial arts practitioners from the Tang Empire were nothing compared to the many martial arts practitioners in the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate. Naturally, they would be eliminated in this round of the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower.
Yu Qianning had originally planned to rely on Bai Shenying, but unfortunately, Bai Shenying himself had died in the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower, so Yu Qianning had not been able to rely on anyone during this trip to the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
"He's really dead …"
Long Hen took one last look at the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower and shook his head with a bitter smile.
If possible, Long Hen did not want Long Yu to die. After all, he was the son of his elder brother. However, now that Long Yu had not been able to come out of the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower, it was obvious that he had been killed.
Long Hen was unable to prevent such an outcome.
"Although I did not make friends with any strong cultivators, at least Long Yu is dead …"
Yu Qianning shot a venomous look at Yan Huanmo before she left.
At this moment, Yan Huanmo and Yu Qianning were no longer on the same level. Yu Qianning had been eliminated and returned to the Tang Empire, while Yan Huanmo would become a disciple of the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
It was only a matter of time before he entered the Heavenly Mandate Secret Realm!
Logically speaking, it should be the pride of the Tang Empire for someone from the Tang Empire to enter the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate. However, as a person of the Tang Empire, Yu Qianning was extremely unhappy about this, let alone proud of it.
Why was she not the one to enter the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate?
All of this was obviously because Long Yu had snatched the Ultimate Divine Hall in the second round!
"Fortunately, that kid is dead."
Yu Qianning also heaved a sigh of relief.
Long Yu had a great impact on her heart, even casting a shadow on her martial arts path. Now that Long Yu was dead, she could finally try to get rid of this shadow and work hard towards the Heavenly Mandate Secret Realm.
"What a pity …"
The royal princess, Chu Huang, also quickly flew away with the crowd.
Chu Huang felt that it was a pity that Long Yu could not come out, but it was just a pity. For her, it was even more of a pity that she was only ten points away from entering the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate.
However, it was this ten points difference that prevented her from taking that step.
Ling Longyu, who wore a veil and did not speak much, was also ten points away, but no one knew what she was thinking.
"What a pity that I could not kill you with my own hands …"
The little prince of Ancient Meng, Meng Duo Kai, felt some regret and hatred as he left. "Man Xin, that kid actually entered the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Secret Realm. This is not good, our Ancient Meng …"
Man Xin joining the Northern Academy of Heavenly Mandate Secret Realm might change the overall situation of Ancient Meng. As the little prince of Ancient Meng, he had to plan ahead and take some measures to consolidate his position in Ancient Meng.
All the martial arts cultivators who participated in the Sacred Selection of Heavenly Mandate Secret Realm had different attitudes, but no matter what, they would return to their previous environment.
Long Yu, who had been the focus of everyone's attention from the beginning, did not come out of the Dragon Bone Tower. Some people were happy, while others were worried.
