There were about a dozen people who had died inside, but this seemed to be within Zhou Lengtong's expectations, so she did not ask any questions.
Looking at them, Zhou Lengtong said, "Since you have successfully stayed in the ten vertical ravine for a day and a night, you can leave our School of Runes. Of course, those of you who are knowledgeable in runes can participate in our school's assessment and become our disciples. As for the others, you can also stay in the School of Runes and work for us. We will reward you. "
After a slight pause, she continued, "In other words, you have three choices. The choice is in your hands. If you want to leave, you can tell me now. I will get someone to take you away immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, some people immediately said that they wanted to leave. These people were obviously not knowledgeable in runes.
Some wanted to participate in the assessment. As for those who stayed to work for the School of Runes, there was only one person.
"Big Brother Zhao, what are your plans?" Linlong looked at Zhao Ding beside him.
"I'd better leave. Runes have no place here at all." Zhao Ding smiled bitterly.
"Then take care, Big Brother Zhao," Linlong said.
"Little Brother Lin, are you going to stay here?" Zhao Ding asked.
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
He had to do this because he was not a match for the girl in black at all.
At this moment, the girl in black was not far from him, glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey.
"Then you have to take care too," Zhao Ding said.
"You guys, what choice do you want to make?" At this moment, Zhou Lengtong's voice suddenly sounded. She looked at the three people on Linlong's side, including the girl in black.
It was obvious that the others had already made their choice. Only the three of them had not.
"I choose to leave the School of Runes," Zhao Ding said.
"Alright, then go stand over there." Zhou Lengtong pointed to a place not far to her left. There were already more than ten people standing there.
"Take care." Zhao Ding looked at Linlong again.
Just as he was about to leave, Linlong suddenly said, "Wait."
"What is it?" Zhao Ding was a little puzzled.
Linlong took out a spatial ring and threw it over, then said, "Big Brother Zhao, there are some things inside that I have no use for. Why don't I give them to you?"
"Little brother Lin, how can I accept your things?" Zhao Ding couldn't help but say.
Just as he was about to return the Spatial Ring, Zhou Lengtong's voice sounded again, "Hurry up."
Hearing such urging, Zhao Ding did not return the Space Ring and instead walked quickly in that direction.
Seeing Zhao Ding leave, a smile appeared on Linlong's face. The things inside were indeed useless to him. However, they were very useful to people like Zhao Ding. This was because there were two Martial Techniques of the local level inside. If they were to be leaked to the outside world, it would definitely cause a lot of people to fight over them.
Zhao Ding didn't expect Linlong to give him such an expensive item, so he didn't pay much attention to it under Zhou Lengtong's urging.
When he got out, he would naturally be surprised.
Zhao Ding risked his life to save him. In Linlong's eyes, giving him these things was a light punishment.
"What are your plans?" Zhou Lengtong asked Linlong and the girl in black.
"I plan to participate in the assessment," Linlong said.
He could control the rune wooden sword, so he was confident that he could pass the test.
"Very well, then you go over there." Zhou Lengtong immediately pointed in another direction. There were five people standing there.
Linlong immediately walked over. After that, Zhou Lengtong looked at the girl in black and asked, "What about you?"
"I also want to participate in the assessment," the girl in black said.
The reason why she had waited until now was naturally to see how Linlong would choose. After all, her goal was to obtain the jade token on Linlong.
Then, the girl in black also walked in Linlong's direction and stood beside him.
"Girl, you're really a follower," Linlong said indifferently as he looked at the girl in black.
Girl, follower. Such words immediately made the girl in black's face turn gloomy.
"Watch your mouth, or I'll definitely sew it up one day!" the girl in black said angrily.
"I hope you can do it. I won't sew your mouth up when the time comes," Linlong said with a faint smile.
The two did not continue bickering, because Zhou Lengtong had already led them into the city.
Soon, she brought Linlong and Zhou Lengtong outside a house. At this moment, two disciples from the School of Runes came over.
These two disciples also had bronze swords hanging on their waists.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Zhou," the two of them said respectfully to Zhou Lengtong.
"These are the people who will participate in the assessment tomorrow. You can arrange their accommodation and other matters," Zhou Lengtong said to the two of them.
"Yes!" The two of them hurriedly nodded.
After that, Zhou Lengtong left, and the two of them said to Linlong and the others, "Please follow us."
The two of them were arranging their accommodation. Soon, other than Linlong and the girl in black, the rest of the people were arranged.
At this moment, one of them suddenly thought of something and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, the two of you. There seems to be only one room left. Do you mind staying together?"
"A man and a woman alone. This doesn't seem too good." The girl in black frowned.
One of the two people frowned. "It's already good enough that there's a place for you to stay. Why are you being so picky!"
This person was a woman. She seemed to dislike the beautiful girl in black. Along the way, she had not been nice to her. When she heard the girl in black's words, she immediately mocked her.
The other person was even more embarrassed. As a male disciple, he also did not want the girl in black to stay with Linlong. However, he did not dare to offend the woman beside him, so he also said, "It's just for one night. It's nothing."
"Alright then." What the two of them did not expect was that the girl in black would suddenly say this.
The change in her attitude was really unexpected.
The reason for this was naturally because the girl in black thought that staying with Linlong would make it easier for her to snatch his things. Therefore, she directly agreed.
Her previous objection was completely a subconscious action.
"I thought you were some chaste woman. You're just a fickle person." The woman sneered.
"You …" The girl in black was so angry that her pretty face flushed red.
However, she finally endured it. This was because she knew that it was best to abide by the rules in the Runes Academy. Otherwise, if it was in the past, she would have already exploded.
Why are you so arrogant? I'll definitely teach you a lesson in the future! The girl in black gritted her teeth and said in her heart.
"Haha, then it's settled. The two of you will stay in the same room." The other man laughed.
Linlong did not object because he could see that it was useless. Moreover, if the girl in black really wanted to deal with him, it would be useless even if he stayed in another room because the other people lived very close to them.
Of course, the most important thing was that Linlong was not afraid of the girl in black at all.
Then, the two people brought Linlong and the girl into a small room. The things in the room were very simple. Apart from a bed and a desk, there was nothing else.
"Both of you, this is your waist token." Then, the man took out two black iron tokens from his space ring. One side of the iron token had the words "Runes Academy" written on it, while the other side was jet-black.
It looked very ordinary, but Linlong could feel that there was a mysterious energy hidden within it.
Linlong and the girl in black took one each. After that, the man said again, "Please write your names on the jet-black side. Just write it with your fingers."
The girl in black seemed to have known that such a thing would happen, so there was no change in her expression. She immediately wrote something on the jet-black side.
Linlong saw that she wrote "Wu Xuan", but he did not know if it was her real name.
"So it's Miss Wu …" Looking at the two words, the man could not help but laugh.
However, his laughter stopped abruptly because he clearly saw that the girl's expression was not right.
As for Linlong, he wrote "Lin Li". The girl in black knew that his name was Lin Li, so he naturally did not write his real name.
After that, the man said again, "Alright, now cut your right index finger and drip a drop of your blood on it."
Although he felt that something was wrong, Linlong could only do as he was told. Of course, there was another reason, and that was that the girl in black did not have any objections either. She directly cut her right index finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
After Linlong did as he was told, the two people no longer said anything. Instead, they stared at the two waist tokens.
Could there be some kind of metaphysics involved? Linlong thought to himself.
After a while, the man nodded and said, "There is no reaction from the two waist tokens. You have not been to our Runes Academy before."
After a slight pause, he continued, "From now on, these two waist tokens will be your identities. However, because you have not passed tomorrow's assessment, you are not yet disciples of our Runes Academy."
The girl continued, "Because of this, there are many restrictions on you. You cannot leave this room, and can only leave tomorrow before the assessment. Furthermore, during this period of time, you cannot have any conflict. If there is any conflict, the great runic array will sense it. At that time, you will be killed!"
Towards the end, her tone became cold, leaving Linlong no doubt that she was speaking the truth.
Linlong could not help but ask, "Will it be the same after I become a disciple?"
If that was the case, it would be no different from being locked up in a cage.
The man immediately smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. This is only for those who have not become true disciples. Once you become a disciple of our Runes Academy, there will not be so many restrictions."
"That's good." Linlong could not help but nod.
"Alright, we'll be leaving first."
With that, the two immediately left, leaving Linlong and the girl in black behind.
After glancing at Linlong, the girl in black remained silent and sat on the wooden bed.
The reason why she had agreed was to see if there were any methods to deal with Linlong. However, when she recalled that Linlong was stronger than her, she was instead worried that he would deal with her.
When she heard about the function of the token, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had previously heard about the rules, but had momentarily forgotten about it. Only when the man mentioned it did she recall it.
Linlong did not speak, but instead picked up the token and seriously examined it.
The girl in black said, "There's no need to study it. We are indeed currently restricted. If we make any movements, the great runic array will sense it. When that happens, those two from before will definitely come over. Given our strength, we are simply no match for them."
The girl in black could not help but coldly snort when Linlong did not reply. However, she did not pay any more attention to him and instead closed her eyes to rest.
Unknowingly, the night passed.
During this period of time, Linlong had also considered making a move on the girl in black. However, he did not do so in the end, because he knew that if he really did make a move, he would either be locked up or killed.
As for the girl in black, she did not make any moves during the night.
Previously, Hao Fenglan did not come over either. Presumably, with her authority, she could not enter and exit as she pleased.
Early the next morning, the man from the day before knocked on the door. When he opened the door, Linlong saw him with a smile on his face.
Compared to the girl, this man was undoubtedly easier to get along with.
When he saw Linlong and the girl, he immediately smiled and said, "The two of you, did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad." Linlong nodded.
"The two of you can now follow me to participate in the assessment," the man said.
"Senior, what is the content of the assessment?" Linlong asked.
"It's just some general runic knowledge. It's very simple. If you have the strength, it will be very easy for you to pass," the man said.
"If that's the case, then thank you very much." Linlong nodded.
Then, the man led them out of the place. Soon, they were brought to a hall. Before entering, Linlong could already sense that there were many people inside.
When he entered, he saw that there were about a hundred people sitting inside.
"The assessment has not started yet. You guys can take a seat inside first." After saying that, the man walked out.
As for Linlong, he casually found an empty seat and sat down.
As for the girl in black, she sat not far away from him.
Just as he sat down, he heard footsteps behind him. Soon, a few men walked to his side.
Linlong turned his head to look and immediately frowned. This was because he knew the person in the lead. It was the son of the Meng Kingdom's Prince Mengci whom he had a conflict with in the forest.
The man looked at Linlong and said coldly, "Linlong, what a coincidence to actually meet you here!"
In his opinion, Fu Tong's disappearance definitely had something to do with Linlong. He might even have been killed by Linlong, so he did not have a good attitude towards Linlong.
"What a coincidence," Linlong said calmly.
Although he said that, he naturally felt a little depressed. He did not expect to meet the other party like this.
