"Hey, all students participating in the elite test, follow me …" At the entrance of the Elite Academy, there was a special teacher in charge of receiving the students who were about to become elites.
Following the middle-aged teacher, the crowd arrived at a spacious field. There were crouching dragons and crouching tigers, and mysterious runes. This field gave off a very frightening feeling.
"Everyone, do you see that? This is the final hurdle to become an elite. It's called the Nine Cycle Reincarnation Formation. Inside is a maze filled with dangers. If you want to become an elite, you have to rely on your own strength to pass through it," the middle-aged teacher explained in detail.
"Hmph, I'll say this one last time. Those of you who haven't reached the eighth rank, or those who don't have a stable foundation, you should leave as soon as possible. This is not a place you should come to. If you die here, then it will be a tragedy for you and your family." His cold gaze swept over Chen Jiu.
"This …" As expected, many people began to hesitate.
"Alright, those who want to become elites, enter the formation," the middle-aged teacher called out. He had said everything he needed to say. If anyone wanted to die, he couldn't be bothered.
"Let's go in …" Even more students entered the formation without hesitation. This time, a total of 19 people entered together, with only one girl.
Rumble … After entering the formation, the ground shook and space twisted. Everyone felt as if many stone walls were protruding from their surroundings, isolating them in a tunnel. If they wanted to leave the formation, they had to continue forward.
"Let's go …" Everyone impatiently walked forward. At the fork in the road, they split up in twos and threes.
"Chen Jiu, follow me closely. I'll bring you out of the formation," Zhang Kuang suddenly reminded Chen Jiu.
"Eh? You don't think I'm a burden anymore? "Although Chen Jiu didn't need Zhang Kuang to bring him along, he was still touched by these words.
"Brat, your arrogance is a bit like mine. I'm a bit reluctant to let you die," Zhang Kuang said with certainty.
"Haha, with your words, I'll guarantee your safety." Chen Jiu laughed and said.
"I said you were arrogant, and you really are." Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and ignored Chen Jiu. Instead, he quickly walked to a dead end.
"Is there no other way?" Chen Jiu was puzzled.
"The path ahead has come to an end. I'm just advising those whose cultivation bases aren't up to par to stop. Otherwise, they'll definitely be killed." Zhang Kuang suddenly roared, "Wild Wind Palm, break!"
"Boom …" The insolent palm suddenly grew in size. Like a hurricane, it crashed into the stone wall with a loud bang. It crushed the stone wall as easily as crushing dry weeds and rotten wood, and opened a door.
"The Nine Cycle Reincarnation Formation is divided into nine checkpoints. Each checkpoint represents a cycle. Of course, each cycle also represents a different level of difficulty. You have to be careful." Zhang Kuang's brows also began to furrow. He clearly didn't have complete confidence in the next checkpoint.
"Let's go." Chen Jiu didn't seem to care about that at all. He walked forward directly and said, "If you can't do it, tell me. I'll help you."
"You …" Looking at Chen Jiu's unbridled arrogance, Zhang Kuang really wanted to scold him for being reckless.
After stepping over the stone wall, it was as if they had suddenly entered another world. There was a chilly aura and ghostly flames. It was as if they had arrived in the netherworld, giving off a gloomy and negative feeling.
"This is the netherworld. If you want to reach the checkpoint, you have to kill countless evil spirits and two Ghost Kings." Zhang Kuang looked at Chen Jiu, obviously saying that the difficulty of breaking through the formation was undoubtedly too high for the two of them.
"It's okay, I'll do it." Chen Jiu walked in front fearlessly.
"That's good too. The small evil spirits are difficult to deal with. You deal with them first. I'll save some energy and kill the Ghost Kings at the end." Zhang Kuang didn't blindly try to be brave. Instead, he spoke carefully.
"Hiss …" Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, and a snake-like hissing sound came from ahead. Chen Jiu widened his eyes and looked over. He was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
It was a bloody and incomplete human head with a foot-long tongue sticking out. It hung in the air just like that, floating leisurely towards the two of them …
Chen Jiu, who had killed countless people, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a horrifying scene. He didn't know where to start.
"Fierce Wind." At the critical moment, Zhang Kuang struck out with his palm. A hurricane suddenly appeared, whistling through the sky and ground. It directly crushed the several heads and resolved the immediate crisis.
"Hey, Chen Jiu, can you do it or not?" Zhang Kuang stared at Chen Jiu and frowned. He seemed to be regretting bringing this half-baked person to break through the formation.
"Yes, of course I can do it … You can leave it to me next time." Chen Jiu came to his senses and immediately straightened his chest, confidently accepting the task.
They continued forward, stepping on the bloody ground. It was sticky and very bloody.
"Wu wu —" Suddenly, with a muffled sound, several headless corpses rushed towards the two of them, bloodthirsty and cruel.
"What …? How can they run without their heads? "Chen Jiu was immediately dumbfounded.
"Fierce Wind Palm …" A giant palm fell from the sky and smashed Dang Chang's corpse into pieces, dissolving on the ground. Zhang Kuang stared at Chen Jiu with a face full of resentment, not saying a word.
"Next time, I'll definitely do it next time." Chen Jiu said awkwardly, "I was just curious just now."
"Don't you know that Yin ghosts only rely on evil Qi to sustain themselves? They don't have souls at all. They can survive in any form. If you don't do it next time, we'll retreat together. "Zhang Kuang had already begun to retreat. These days, he was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but he was afraid of a pig-like teammate.
Without saying anything, Chen Jiu directly expressed his intention with actions. He walked in front of Zhang Kuang. Sure enough, after a few steps, several legless Yin ghost corpses came to take their lives.
Now that Chen Jiu was mentally prepared, he could not be bothered to examine the situation carefully. He immediately raised his hand, and lightning shot out from his palm. In an instant, all of the Yin Ghosts were obliterated into nothingness, burned to ashes.
"What? Lightning elemental energy, you … you really gave me a surprise. Lightning is called Heaven's Wrath, and it's specially used to suppress evil. Looks like we won't have to worry about passing this stage. "Zhang Kuang couldn't help but feel happy again.
"We won't have to worry about this stage." Chen Jiu said again, but he was directly ignored by Zhang Kuang.
"Boom …" Next, the thunderbolt opened a path, and a sea of thunder and fire advanced through the tunnel like a vast ocean, annihilating all the Yin ghosts. They couldn't even get close to Zhang Kuang.
While shocked, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but remind him, "Chen Jiu, make a small noise and save your elemental energy. There are still seven stages to go."
"It's okay, I know what to do." Chen Jiu didn't mind. He continued to sweep the area with his thunderbolt river, directly eliminating all the Yin ghosts. It was extremely powerful.
Their levels weren't high, but there were a lot of them. However, under Chen Jiu's thunderbolt river, no matter how many Yin ghosts there were, it was useless.
