"Linlong, did you kill Fu Tong?" the other party asked coldly.
"Fu Tong? Who?" Linlong asked with a confused look.
Although he knew who the other party was referring to, how could he admit that he killed the other party's subordinate?
"Kid, don't play dumb. Fu Tong is a level-four beast beside me. I sent him to deal with you, but he hasn't returned. Did you kill him?" the other party asked.
You sent someone to deal with me, and you're asking me if he was killed by me? Linlong sneered in his heart.
However, he said, "I don't know about that. After I left you, I went straight to the Runes Department."
"Haha, no matter what you say, I'm sure that you killed Fu Tong. Just wait to be killed by me!" the prince sneered.
Regardless of whether Linlong could pass the test or not, he had a way to deal with him. He was not worried at all.
"Since you said so, I'll take on whatever tricks you have," Linlong said calmly.
He had seen all kinds of storms and waves. When the time came, he would just have to deal with them.
"The test begins now!"
At this moment, a voice came from the door. Linlong turned his head and saw a few people walking in. The two people in front looked like elders, and the people behind them should be mentors.
"Linlong, just you wait!" After saying this in a low voice, the prince left with his followers.
While the instructors were handing out the papers, Wu Xuan's voice came from beside Linlong. "You actually provoked such a person. It seems like I'll have to make a move on you first. Otherwise, I won't have a chance anymore."
"I hope you will have that chance." Linlong smiled indifferently.
At this moment, an elder in front stared at Linlong and the black-clothed girl and said coldly, "Don't speak, or get out!"
Linlong and the black-clothed girl naturally stopped talking.
The assessment began very quickly. It was just some basic questions. After spending some time, Lin Long basically finished them. He estimated that he would be able to pass easily. Lin Long didn't think about finishing the remaining questions. He didn't want to be so conspicuous.
After a few people handed in their test papers, he handed them in and walked out.
At this time, the girl in black was still concentrating on the questions. It was obvious that runes were not her forte.
The results would be known soon after the exam, so Linlong and the rest just waited outside and did not leave.
After he walked out, the prince also followed him out. However, he did not walk to Lin Long's side. Instead, he stood not far away from Lin Long, glaring at him from time to time.
More and more people walked out. Not long after the last person walked out, the voice of the elder came out.
"Alright, everyone, come in."
Linlong and the others immediately walked in.
Once everyone was seated, the elder said, "The results are out. I'll call out the names and you can leave."
"You can leave? Could it be that he failed? "someone hurriedly asked.
"That's right. Those whose names are read out will not pass. When the time comes, you can choose to leave or stay in the Runes College to work," the elder said.
For a moment, many people became nervous, afraid that the elder would call out their names.
Linlong looked at the black-clothed girl who was still sitting a few seats away from him and found that her expression was calm. It seemed like she was very confident in passing this test.
"Zhang Tong …"
The elder began to call out names. Those whose names were called could only walk out dejectedly.
The elder only stopped after thirty or so people had walked out.
Could it be that the remaining people could become disciples of the Runes College? This thought flashed across the minds of everyone inside.
It was also at this time that the elder read out a name that Linlong did not expect.
"Wu Xuan!"
The elder's voice echoed in the hall.
No way, she actually failed? Linlong was a little surprised.
An accident was an accident. The other party's failure to pass meant that she was no threat to him. He was naturally somewhat happy.
"Why didn't I pass?" The black-clothed girl immediately stood up and asked with a surprised expression.
The elder frowned and said, "If you didn't pass, then you didn't pass. Why are there so many questions?"
The black-clothed girl could not help but say, "It's just that I clearly answered at least eighty percent of the questions correctly!"
The elder said coldly, "I don't have the time to see how many questions you answered correctly. In any case, you failed the test and were eliminated!"
"Impossible, you must have done something!" The black-clothed girl said with a face full of unwillingness.
"How dare you slander Elder Wang!" The person in front of the elder immediately shouted.
The elder's expression turned even uglier. "Chase her out immediately!"
"Yes!" Immediately, two Runes College disciples rushed towards the black-clothed girl. At the same time, their hands grabbed the rune swords at their waists.
Seeing the other party's lineup, she would definitely not be able to gain any benefits if she continued to say anything. Hence, the black-clothed girl tactfully shut her mouth and walked out with these people.
Seeing that she had left, the elder's expression softened a little. He then said, "Alright, the remaining people can become disciples of our Runes College."
"That's great!" Some people could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
Sweeping a glance at everyone below, Elder Wang continued, "Which one of you can master our Rune School's Rune Sword? If you have the ability, stand in front of me. "
Immediately, many people walked forward. Linlong also followed, and he discovered that the prince was also following behind him.
Not long after, a dozen or so people arrived in front of the elder.
Looking at them, Elder Wang asked, "What grade of Rune Sword can you all activate?"
"We can only master the Rune Wooden Sword."
Immediately, all of them opened their mouths. All of them could only master the Rune Wooden Sword. None of them could master the Rune Stone Sword or anything above that grade.
Elder Wang seemed to have already expected this, so there was no surprise on his face.
"Since that is the case, you all should enter the Stone Wood World with the others," Elder Wang immediately said.
Stone Wood World? This is? Linlong's face was filled with doubt.
"Stone Wood World? What kind of place is that? "Seeing that no one else asked, as if they all knew, Linlong decided to ask the question himself.
After sweeping a glance at Linlong, Elder Wang opened his mouth and said, "Our Rune School is not just the outside world that you all see. There are other worlds, and the Stone Wood World is one of them. Moreover, it is a world of the lowest grade. You all will be able to find materials to make wooden and stone swords there."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Only if you can master the Rune Stone Sword and make it yourself will you be able to leave the Stone Wood World and head to a higher grade world to continue studying Rune Studies."
To think that this was the case. Linlong was secretly shocked.
At this moment, he also understood the reason why there were not many people here. He felt that everyone was in another world.
The world inside shouldn't be that big. Linlong guessed.
"Alright, you all can head to the Stone Wood World now. Follow me." After saying that, Elder Wang strode out, and the others followed behind him.
Linlong and the other disciples naturally hurriedly followed behind them.
After turning left and right inside, they followed Elder Wang to a platform that wasn't tall and could accommodate hundreds of people. There were a few people guarding the platform.
After arriving here, Linlong's eyes directly looked at the void in front of him. Although he couldn't see anything with his naked eyes, his powerful divine will told him that there was a hidden spatial crack here.
Sure enough, Elder Wang pointed ahead and said, "There is a spatial crack here. Enter it, and you will reach the Stone Wood World inside. The people inside will teach you what to do."
After a slight pause, he said, "Alright, you all can go in."
Linlong and the others immediately walked forward.
At this moment, there were two people standing not far away from them. One was a white-haired but skinny old man, and the other was Hao Fenglan, whom Linlong recognized.
"Elder Miao, isn't it a little inappropriate to let the young miss go out like this?" Seeing that everyone was walking towards the spatial crack, Hao Fenglan couldn't help but ask the old man beside her.
This old man was Miao De, whom the black-robed young lady had been talking about previously.
"This can't be helped. I don't want anything to happen to the young miss. If that really happens, you and I won't be able to bear the consequences," Miao De said.
"Elder Miao is right." Hao Fenglan nodded.
Previously, when the black-robed young lady almost got into an accident, he was very worried.
"However, Elder Miao, are you confident that you can catch that kid?" Hao Fenglan asked again.
"Don't worry. He's just a young man who can only activate the rune wooden sword. The people I arranged inside can easily deal with him," Miao De said.
"That's good. As long as we get what the young miss wants and stop her from thinking about entering the Rune Institute, everything will be fine," Hao Fenglan said.
"Alright, Instructor Hao, the young miss is probably furious now. You have to find an excuse to brush her off … As for scheming against the young miss, don't worry, Instructor Hao, I will be here," Miao De said.
"Thank you, Elder Miao." With that, Hao Fenglan immediately turned around and left.
…
With a flash of white light, Linlong found himself in a martial arts field that could accommodate thousands of people. As for the others who had followed him in, they were all standing beside him.
There were houses all around him. Linlong even saw a tall stone door in front of him with the words "Stone Wood World" written on it.
As he looked around, a dozen people walked towards them.
These people were wearing the uniform of the Ash Cloud Rune Institute. They were basically older than them.
After walking in front of them, the person in the lead asked, "Are you new disciples?"
This person was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a square face and looked mature and steady.
"Yes, Senior Brother. We are new disciples," someone immediately replied.
"Hmm, not bad. You are all very spirited." After sweeping his gaze across them, the person nodded and said, "I am your Senior Brother, Fang Liang."
"Senior Brother Fang Liang, are you in charge of the Stone Wood World?" someone asked.
"Given my strength, how can I be in charge of the Stone Wood World?" Fang Liang's expression darkened. "The one in charge of this world is Instructor Yao Hongsheng."
"So that's how it is." Hearing his words, the person who had asked earlier spoke with an embarrassed expression.
Seeing that some people were eager to explore the Stone Wood World, Fang Liang said, "This world isn't big, but it's not small either. However, it's not a place that most of you can explore. At the very least, you need to master the rune wooden sword to leave this place."
"This is our camp. Apart from us, there are about eight or nine hundred other disciples here. We all have to listen to Instructor Yao Hongsheng's orders here. However, Instructor Yao Hongsheng has been in seclusion recently, so it will be a few days before you can see him."
"Many of you should be here for the first time, so you don't know much about our institute. Therefore, I will explain it to you in detail."
"The common currency of our institute is not Ash Cloud Dollars, but Mysterious Crystal Stones. Mysterious Crystal Stones can provide energy for our institute's Rune Formation and can also be used to make Rune Swords."
"Some of the fierce beasts in the Stone Wood World have Mysterious Crystal Stones, and there are also places in the vast mountain range that have Mysterious Crystal Stones. This is how you obtain Mysterious Crystal Stones, so there is a certain degree of danger. Unless you can master the Rune Wooden Sword, you cannot leave the camp."
"After you obtain Mysterious Crystal Stones, you can use them to buy the Rune Clothes in the camp. The Stone Wood World only has the lowest grade of Wood Grain Clothes and Stone Grain Clothes. Even so, the price is not cheap, so it is not easy for you to buy them."
"In addition to the Rune Clothes, you can also use Mysterious Crystal Stones to buy Rune Stone Swords, and Rune Wooden Swords are provided for free. As for the knowledge of mastering and making Rune Wooden Swords and Rune Stone Swords, you can read it in the camp's library. "
"In addition, us seniors will also find time to teach you this knowledge. Generally, we will teach you three days a week. Instructors will also teach you, but the time will depend on the situation. "
"Only by mastering and making Rune Stone Swords can you leave this place."
"Also, don't fight in the camp. If you fight, you will be thrown into the dungeon, kicked out of the institute, or even killed. So, you are on your own."
Fang Liang spoke eloquently.
After listening to this, Linlong had a deeper understanding of the Gray Cloud Institute of Runes.
"Alright, now I will bring you to where you will be staying." As he spoke, Fang Liang and the others turned and walked towards a certain house.
Very quickly, they all settled down.
The prince and the others stayed next to Linlong. Linlong knew that he was doing this on purpose, but he did not take it to heart.
After all, the other party did not dare to make a move here. Even if they did, he was not afraid, unless there were several of them attacking him at the same time.
Because of the prince and the others' covetous eyes, no one dared to approach Linlong.
Linlong did not care. After settling down, the first thing he looked for was the library in the camp.
Although he had some books on this world's Rune Literature, it was still too little. Without the Green Lotus Society, some of them would be extremely obscure to him. He needed to find knowledge that was easier to grasp in order to comprehend by analogy.
The camp's library was very conspicuous, and he quickly found it.
