The red-robed old man quickly announced the rankings.
Lin Xuan, Murong Qingcheng, Xiao Li, and Shen Yaotian. Lan Bai took up the top five spots.
Over five hundred people participated in the second round, but only over two hundred successfully passed.
The elimination rate was terrifying.
"I'll give you all an hour to rest and recuperate. After an hour, we'll begin the third round!"
Those who passed the first round sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.
Although there was no battle in the second round, the experience in the illusionary realm caused their soul and mind to be greatly exhausted.
That process was ten times more tiring than a battle!
Hence, everyone made use of the time to recuperate so that they could deal with the third round.
These people were all geniuses and had all sorts of miraculous pills on them. Hence, an hour was more than enough for them to recuperate.
Very quickly, these people opened their eyes. Their eyes glowed with excitement as they looked forward to the third round.
As long as they passed the third round, they would be able to enter the Immortal Martial Academy.
Once they entered the Immortal Martial Academy, their future would be limitless.
"An hour has passed. Let's begin the third round!"
The red-robed old man waved his sleeves and a palm-sized exquisite pagoda flew out. It spun in the air and gradually enlarged.
Finally, it landed on the square with a loud boom.
The pagoda was divided into seven levels. It was covered with golden spikes and shone with a brilliant light.
"This is the Tower of Trials. It is divided into seven levels. Those who pass the first three levels are qualified!"
"Now, let the third round begin!"
As the red-robed old man's voice faded, the Tower of Trials emitted a dazzling light. On the first level, four doors opened at the same time.
The cultivators who had successfully passed the second stage immediately dashed forward.
Following which, over two hundred people entered the Tower of Trials.
The third round was a real battle. Of course, it wasn't a real battle between the examinees and real cultivators. Instead, it was a battle using illusionary treasures.
Don't underestimate this kind of battle because it was more dangerous than a real battle. The opponents inside were formed according to the characteristics of the cultivators.
The Tower of Trials had a total of seven levels. Passing the first three levels was considered a success.
Over two hundred disciples entered the Tower of Trials. Following which, the doors on the first level closed. The Tower of Trials was like a small golden mountain, standing in the middle of the square.
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 on his waist was gone, and so was the high-grade spiritual grade inner armor on his body.
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 only meant 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 was wearing a black mask 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 walking forward.
Soon, his figure flashed 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 stopped at the second level and immediately rose to the third level.
However, most of the light spots remained at the second level.
Lin Xuan was one of those people who had arrived at the third level.
In the second level, there were three half-step Venerables and four half-step Venerables respectively. To Lin Xuan who had condensed his Martial Soul, the battle was quickly settled.
The third level was also filled with black-clothed martial artists, but their cultivation had changed to the first level of the Venerable Realm.
Venerable Realm was already an expert of a region!
This was also the reason why the Immortal Martial Academy stipulated that as long as one passed the third level, one would be considered to have completed the trial.
Those who defeated Venerables were qualified to enter the Immortal Martial Academy.
However, it was not easy to kill a Venerable Realm expert!
Most people would find it difficult to do so. Of course, Lin Xuan was an exception. He had killed more than one Venerable Realm expert.
Therefore, he passed the third level easily.
In the outside world, everyone exclaimed because they realized that a few light spots had arrived at the fourth level very quickly!
At this moment, most people were still struggling on the second level.
"They passed the third level so quickly?" Everyone was shocked and in disbelief.
