After the warm welcome ceremony for the new students, Lighthouse Academy returned to its usual calm and tense state. Every time they returned, the monthly exams would always be extremely painful.
The freshmen who had just entered their second year had transformed into seniors, and they watched as the seniors left the academy to join various factions. It was a rather emotional experience.
The entrance of Ye Tong and the others caused quite a stir. The battle between Ye Tong, Poyers, and Crescent Moon was constantly broadcasted in various numbered cities. The glory of the three girls completely overshadowed the other trial-takers, and the Nidri family gained the same amount of exposure as the Five Thrones.
Li Xiang sent a message to congratulate Dale, and at the same time expressed his displeasure.
Dale had taken in Yu Zhitong, and Yu Zhitong's murderous intent towards Ye Tong in the ultimate trial made him very unhappy.
His memories of Zhitong were still stuck at the orphanage in his previous life. The little girl who had always followed him around was smart, patient, and capable. He could tell at a glance that she was not ordinary.
In his previous life, after the orphanage was burned down by him, he heard that the intelligent Yu Zhitong was adopted by a rich businessman. Later, when he was tossing and turning tarot cards around, he occasionally heard news about this little sister.
After she came of age, she took over the family business. He heard that she even stood on the opposite side of the Fei Yujing and Bai Family, which really disgusted Fei Yujing.
After that, he did not remember if he ever met this little fangirl of his again. In his memories, he did remember that in the hotel bed, their hot bodies and complicated feelings.
However, at that time, he had already given up on everything. With the destruction of the tarot cards and Ye Tong's suicide, the last thing that kept him alive was shattered.
Many memories and experiences were like smoke in the past. Li Xiang no longer remembered them, and as time passed, he forgot about them.
She hated him. That was obvious.
Dale did not reply to Yu Zhitong's matter. She only gave a simple reply and stopped contacting him.
At this moment, the Nidri family was in a state of celebration and anxiety. The old fogeys of the Senate finally felt Dale Nidri's ambition and terrifying methods. She was not only the beloved daughter of the head of the family, but she also had the same ambition as her brothers and sisters.
What she longed for was the supreme throne of the Nidri family.
At the same time, she was very wary of Li Xiang, who was both an ally and an enemy. She was even more wary of him than her competitors of the same race.
By raising Poyers, Dale was releasing two messages to the outside world. The first was that she wanted to meddle in the Nidri family's succession election, and the second was that she had broken off all relations with her husband, Owl.
Even the stupidest person would have noticed the abnormality.
Since the death of the Wild Hunt and the Kuang Tie, Owl and Nidley had not appeared together in public for a long time. The last few times Owl appeared were in the Non-Land, the Ji family.
Combined with some rumors, people couldn't help but speculate about some of the problems.
However, judging from her current reaction, she hadn't broken the agreement between the two of them yet.
After the various disturbances, the atmosphere calmed down a little. However, this calmness did not last for long. In the end, it was broken by the thing Li Xiang did not want to see the most.
Lighthouse Academy, cafeteria.
Li Xiang and Ye Tong sat opposite each other. The siblings had been inseparable these days, as if they were trying to make up for all the time they had been apart. Their relationship was so good that the Enchantress, who also had a sister, was envious.
Yao Lie was much older than the Enchantress. He was more mature and was also a player. After being injured, he had been hiding in Crimson Moon City and rarely contacted his sister. The atmosphere between the sisters was very awkward because of the destruction of the Yao family. The Enchantress was not the type to take the initiative. She could only sigh as she watched Li Xiang and his sister "show off their love."
At this moment, there was a loud bang. One of the lighthouses in the outer circle suddenly caved in and collapsed into the dark Dead Sea. This was not the only one. Following all kinds of explosions, countless lighthouses in the outer circle caved in one after another. It was a horrifying scene!
"What's going on?" The students in the cafeteria stood up abruptly. In their field of vision, the tall lighthouses in the cafeteria collapsed as if they had been cut in half.
The Players' University of Lighthouse Academy of the Subcontinent suddenly experienced a drastic change. The ground cracked, and under the cracks was an even darker Dead Sea. One moment of carelessness and they would fall into the Dead Sea.
The cracks were still spreading. Soon, teachers rushed out of the teaching buildings. Most of them were players. They floated in the air and used magic to guide the students out of the danger zone.
Li Xiang stood up. He had a bad feeling. The tremor was coming from the first lighthouse!
It was said that the Polar night Magician's clone was located there.
He had a bad feeling about this.
Crack!
The ground cracked even more. It was as if an invisible blade was cutting through the ground.
Almost all the players in the school were on the move. They floated in the air with solemn expressions. The ones in the lead were Vice-Principal Jeffrey and the newly promoted Dean Ying.
The cracks on the ground were still spreading like a spider web. The water of the Dead Sea was even boiling. Wisps of black smoke rose into the air. It was a frightening scene.
At that moment, everyone was in a state of panic. The new students who were just there to watch the show were also feeling uneasy. Even though their families had promised them that they would be safe, no one could say for sure that they would be safe in such a situation.
Li Xiang took Ye Tong and ran toward the first lighthouse. Along the way, many buildings had collapsed. The buildings that had been reinforced with magic were as fragile as tofu at the moment. Under the shaking ground, they were reduced to rubble in an instant.
"Brother, up, up …" Ye Tong tugged at his sleeve and looked up.
Even the Book of Prophecy could not predict the outcome of a battle of the highest level. However, it had taken her several months to recover from the terror of being on the brink of death.
Li Xiang followed her finger and looked up. His face was full of shock.
Something was rolling in the dark clouds.
Upon closer inspection, it was a glowing blood-red light. It was colorful and dense. It was indescribably mysterious and powerful.
The blood-red light intertwined into magic runes that blotted out the sky. Even though they were far away, the aura was still intimidating. The dark golden aura hid in his heart and did not show up at all.
He wanted to worship, to submit, to kowtow.
The throbbing from the bottom of his heart made Li Xiang unable to move. He quickly hugged Ye Tong, stabilized her body, and ran to the other side.
Ye Tong was only a Level-1 Magician. Under such powerful pressure, if she got too close, there was a possibility that her body would disintegrate.
After being hugged by Li Xiang, Ye Tong was finally able to catch her breath. She was terrified and trembling uncontrollably. She truly felt the power of a top player.
Perhaps she could become such a person in the future. However, at least for now, no amount of scheming could make up for the difference.
One person could defeat ten people.
For the first time, she felt powerless. If it were not for her brother beside her, she might have lost her mind at that moment.
Below the players, everyone was an ant.
Li Xiang looked up as he ran. He was at the peak of a Level-3 Magician. Even with his Ultimate Physique, he could not take it. However, with the help of the Eye of Truth, he could see more than most people.
In the sky, around the First Lighthouse, there were several figures with majestic auras.
The figure with five-colored blood flowing out of it was huge. It looked like a birdman, but it was much more terrifying than the corpse of the Sky King he saw in the ruins of the Sky Clan.
It was a great terror that was rarely seen in the world.
Above the figure was his real body. His red wings burned with a fire that seemed to be able to burn everything. It burned and dispersed the black fog that gathered above the Dead Sea all year round.
In front of him was a pure black figure. It seemed to have merged with all things, accompanied by shadows. Wherever he went, the light would be taken away.
Li Xiang tried his best to see and finally saw part of the pure black figure's true body.
The vertical eye between his eyebrows shone brightly!
That was the magic trick passed down in the Ji family!
Could it be … the Black King himself?
In his right hand, there were two crescent moons, one black and one white. A strange light shone down and illuminated the ground. In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the ground. The defensive buildings of the Chessboard Academy, which were known to be indestructible, were reduced to dust by the light.
The Lord of the Two Moons of the Katas Zhaofei Council.
He knew this.
This person had a close relationship with Luo Chu. At the same time, Li Xiang also suspected that he was the anonymous person from the Katas Zhaofei Council who had joined forces with Ji Zhanxue and General Shogun.
As soon as the last figure appeared, all the light was taken away in an instant.
Li Xiang suddenly felt his vision go dark. It was as if all the light in the world was absorbed at that moment.
When he could see clearly again, the figure had already reached the Black King's side and resisted his terrifying chaotic darkness.
The newcomer seemed to represent the endless night, long and lonely until eternity.
He was facing the other three and seemed to be protecting the First Lighthouse behind him.
In the sky, at the First Lighthouse, all kinds of magic runes slowly flashed. They were densely packed, like the dusk of the gods. All kinds of dazzling magic were admirable.
Jeffrey, who was watching from a distance, heaved a long sigh. That was the best of the best.
Even when he was in his prime, he was not comparable to the players gathered around the First Lighthouse. They had risen at a similar time. At the moment, Jeffrey was getting old and would soon fall into eternal sleep. However, those people were still active in the seven continents, shining on the human camp like gods.
The closer they got, the more powerful and horrifying those people were. They seemed to have come from another dimension and were not something that humans could imagine.
A low chant came from the First Lighthouse. It was gentle and tranquil. It cleansed everyone's mind and soothed their restlessness.
Li Xiang felt that Ye Tong had finally woken up from her mania. He took a breath of relief and took her further away so that she would not be affected.
The First Lighthouse gradually became transparent. Everyone could see a person in a long robe sitting cross-legged inside. He was covered in darkness. Li Xiang recognized him at once. He was the holder of the Tarot card of The Fool's Sorcerer, the Polar Night Sorcerer.
He was the principal of the Lighthouse Player University of the Subcontinent, the founder of the Polar Night Sorcerer, and the controller of the border.
He was not as famous as the Five Kings in the seven continents, but he was someone who had influenced countless people.
The Polar Night Sorcerer had benefited countless people. The lighthouse concept was once again promoted under his leadership.
Under his watch, the border was able to withstand wave after wave of endless invasions.
Among the three statues erected at the border, his statue was in the middle and was the most revered by the border warriors.
The Polar Night Sorcerer seemed to have never appeared, but at the same time, he seemed to be everywhere.
It was also because of his existence that the White King could not completely overthrow the lighthouse concept.
He was silent. He was silent, but no one dared to ignore his voice.
The Polar Night Sorcerer's healing magic helped many people recover from the upheaval. Originally, the upheaval would have caused incalculable losses, especially those who had just stepped into the school. Their bodies and minds might have been shaken. However, after his healing magic, those who were on the brink of death stood up again. They successfully evacuated with the help of the teachers.
He alone resisted countless forces. Compared to the other figures in the sky, the Polar Night Sorcerer's magic clone was very thin. It looked very weak and did not have any aura, but it made people feel very at ease.
He just sat in the First Lighthouse, looking down at the ground and the sky.
Soon, the collapsed ground began to recover. The ruined buildings were restored, and the cracks were slowly healing.
"Polar Night, you spent your energy on these places. They won't appreciate it. Why bother?" The person who spoke was a figure shrouded in pure darkness. When he spoke, Li Xiang was sure that this was the Black King of the Ji family, Ji Ning.
They had met once during the Ruling Council of the Five Kings, and Li Xiang had a deep impression of his hoarse metallic voice.
The Polar Night Sorcerer was silent and did not answer.
"Polar Night, you're old. You've lived for too long. Since the arrival of the Goddess of Calamity, the living old monsters have withered one by one. Why are you still unwilling to let go and entrust the seven continents to us latecomers?" The person who spoke was the Double Moon Lord. He seemed to be the youngest in the group. He had an unusual vitality and pride. "Life and death reincarnation, no one can stop it."
"The Lighthouse concept has been rejected by everyone. It has lost its meaning. We need a new leader, a new guide. Polar Night, let go." The burning wings kept flowing with five-colored blood. The figure's voice was neutral, and there was a bright light falling as he spoke.
Their voices were loud, and the people below were confused. Only the players understood what was going on.
Most of the Magicians were just there to enjoy the rare scenery. This was a showdown between the top players. Many of them were sent by their families. They might be able to get a little bit of the magic crystal dust, which would be greatly beneficial to the players.
After a long silence, the black figure between the First Lighthouse and the three figures finally spoke.
"The Gate of the Abyss hasn't opened yet. You're too impatient."
"Night King, this is the message from 'there.' If you insist on standing with Polar Night, you'll have to be prepared to accept the punishment of the heavens!" The Black King said coldly. That word was blurred. Everyone could only hear some noise and couldn't hear it clearly.
It was as if it was blocked by something.
Only Li Xiang was not affected. He suddenly raised his head.
He heard the words "Emperor Clan."
