The old man in the red robe announced the rankings quickly.
Lin Xuan, Murong Qingcheng, Xiao Li, and Shen Yaotian. Lan Bai occupied the top five spots.
More than 500 people participated in the second round, but only about 200 people passed the second round.
The elimination rate was terrifying.
"I'll give you an hour to rest and recuperate. After an hour, the third round will begin!"
The disciples who passed the test sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.
Although there was no battle in the second round, the experience in the illusion had greatly depleted their soul and mind.
That process was ten times more tiring than a battle!
Therefore, everyone seized the time to recuperate and prepare for the third round.
These people were all geniuses and had elixirs with them. An hour was enough for them to recuperate.
Soon, these people opened their eyes, and their eyes shined with light as they excitedly looked forward to the third stage.
As long as they passed the third round, they would be able to enter Senmu College.
Once they entered Senmu College, their future would be limitless.
"An hour has passed. The third round will begin now!"
The old man in the red robe waved his sleeve and a palm-sized exquisite pagoda flew out. It spun in the air and gradually enlarged.
Finally, it landed on the square with a boom.
The pagoda was divided into seven levels. It was covered in golden thorns and shone brightly.
"This is the Trial Pagoda. It is divided into seven levels. Those who pass the first three levels will pass!
"Now, the third round will begin!"
As the old man in the red robe finished speaking, the Trial Pagoda shone brightly. Four doors opened in four directions on the first level.
The cultivators who had successfully passed the second stage immediately dashed forward.
Then, more than 200 people entered the Trial Pagoda.
The third round was an actual battle. Of course, it was not a real battle between the candidates and real martial artists. Instead, it was a virtual battle using illusory array mystic treasures.
Do not underestimate this kind of battle because it was more dangerous than a real battle. The opponents' levels were formed according to the martial artists' characteristics.
There were seven levels in the Trial Pagoda. Passing the first three levels was considered a success.
More than 200 disciples entered the Trial Pagoda. Then, the door on the first level closed and the light dimmed. The Trial Pagoda stood in the square like a small golden mountain.
Soon, everyone realized that the Trial Tower was different because the first floor showed 234 dots of light. They represented the 234 people who had just entered.
Lin Xuan followed everyone into the Tower of Trials and appeared in an independent space.
In the boundless Scarlet Plains, the sky was somewhat gloomy, and the wind was howling all around.
If Lin Xuan did not have a strong will, he would have thought that he had arrived at the Scarlet Plains. However, he knew that this was all an illusion.
Then, he was surprised again because he found that the Wind Shadow Sword at his waist was gone, and the High-Grade Spirit Rank inner armor on his body was also gone.
What replaced it was an ordinary black armor and a black iron longsword.
It seemed like he couldn't use his own treasures and could only use the weapons and armors provided by this space. Lin Xuan seemed to understand the rules here.
He gave it a try and found that he could use his spiritual energy to form a red lotus armor.
In other words, his strength was not affected.
However, he quickly removed the Red Lotus Armor.
According to his speculation, if he died here, it would only mean that he had failed the test. He would not really die.
Therefore, Lin Xuan would not miss such a wonderful opportunity to fight!
He gave up on the red lotus armor and decided to use the most ordinary weapon to fight.
A figure condensed on the Scarlet Plains in front of him.
That person was also wearing black armor and holding a black iron sword. He wore a black mask on his face and looked like a messenger of the netherworld.
Lin Xuan could tell from the other party's aura that he was a half-step Venerable One.
"Looks like the first floor is easy."
Lin Xuan smirked. A half-step Venerable One was nothing to him.
He held an ordinary black iron sword and drew a black bolt of lightning in the air, instantly stabbing the other party's throat.
Poof!
The black figure fell and turned into spiritual energy, disappearing from this space.
However, two more figures soon condensed.
A black sword and a black mask. They were both half-step Venerable Ones.
Lin Xuan's expression did not change, and he continued to stab with his sword.
The black iron sword moved in the air, instantly forming two sword shadows that stabbed towards the two black-clothed martial artists.
Buzz!
Bang!
The two martial artists counterattacked, and one of them retreated like a black ghost.
The other formed a seal with both hands, condensing an ancient shield in front of him that covered his entire body.
Both of them were very fast and completed in an instant. However, Lin Xuan's sword was even faster.
Poof!
Poof! The two figures fell and disappeared.
Although the two of them counterattacked, the difference in strength between them was too great. They were not Lin Xuan's match at all.
However, Lin Xuan was slightly surprised.
That was because he realized that the two half-step Venerable Ones had begun to make the best adjustments to counter his attack.
Lin Xuan's sword was very sharp and fast. Therefore, one of them reacted quickly while the other strengthened his defense.
They were changing according to the characteristics of Lin Xuan's sword technique.
'Interesting. I wonder what's going to happen next?' Lin Xuan was looking forward to it and continued to move forward.
Soon, his figure swayed and disappeared from the first level.
In the outside world, countless people were staring at the trial tower in the center. They saw that all 234 light spots had arrived at the second level.
However, some of those light spots were fast, some were slow, and some were fast.
"Did they pass the first level?" Those people saw the changes in the light spots and discussed in low voices.
They realized that after arriving at the second level, the changes in the light spots were even more obvious. A small portion of the light spots only paused for a moment on the second level and immediately rose to the third level.
However, most of the light spots remained on the second level.
Lin Xuan was one of those people at the moment. He had already arrived at the third level.
On the second level, there were three half-step Venerable Ones and four half-step Venerable Ones respectively. For Lin Xuan who had condensed his Martial Soul, the battle was quickly resolved.
On the third level, there were also black-clothed martial artists, but their cultivation had become first-level Venerable Ones.
A Venerable was already a powerhouse of a region!
That was also the reason why Senmu College set the rule that as long as one passed the third level, one would be considered to have completed the trial.
Defeated Venerable Ones were qualified to enter Senmu College.
However, it was not easy to kill a Venerable One!
Most people would find it very difficult. Of course, Lin Xuan was an exception. He had killed more than one Venerable One.
Therefore, he passed the third level easily.
In the outside world, everyone exclaimed because they realized that a few light spots had quickly arrived at the fourth level!
At that moment, most people were still struggling on the second level.
"They passed the third level so quickly?" Everyone was shocked and could not believe it.
"Rumor has it that the opponents on the third level are first-level Venerable Ones. I didn't expect those people to finish them so quickly."
