Chapter 40 The first stage of assessment ends, the second stage of assessment begins
Dengxiaotai.
The first stage of assessment led to the final countdown.
"Twenty, nineteen, eighteen..."
The cold countdowns struck everyone's hearts. At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Nuo, who was flying on the steps of the ladder.
Every time the opponent takes a step, the steps under his feet will explode.
But even so, Xiao Nuo's movement speed was extremely fast.
Every time he landed, Xiao Nuo would suddenly bounce up, releasing powerful explosive force from his legs, leaping more than ten meters, and crossing more than a dozen steps in one second...
Everyone on the Dengxiao Platform felt their scalps go numb.
"Is this guy a monster?" Wu Ao couldn't help but cursed.
Lie Tao, who was next to him, also felt a chill rushing into his heart. In his eyes at this moment, Xiao Nuo was like a tiger running towards this side.
Thinking back to what happened in the Huagu Mountains a few days ago, Lie Tao broke out in a cold sweat.
Guan Xiang had already turned from worry to joy. He clenched his fists and tightened his heartstrings: "Junior brother, hurry up, hurry up, you can do it..."
"Boom!" Xiao Nuo stepped hard on the steps under the platform, and a series of gravel splashed under him.
Dust is flying and debris is flying.
Xiao Nuo created a continuous burst of power with "Nine Continuous Collapses", and the rhythm did not stop at all.
But time waits for no one either.
Soon, there were only ten numbers left before the first stage of assessment.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Countless people became nervous.
Whether it's on the Sky Tower or in the Beizi Peak Square outside.
"Hurry, hurry..." Luo Ning also cheered Xiao Nuo nervously: "Hurry, time is running out."
"Five, four, three..."
Climbing to the top, getting closer and closer.
Time is getting shorter and shorter.
Almost everyone was too nervous to speak.
"two!"
The last second.
Xiao Nuo was still about thirty steps away from the top of the Climbing Platform. This section of the road, in the eyes of everyone, seemed to be a "death dividing line."
"It's over!" someone said.
"He can't get in."
"..."
The last distance is the most stressful one, even for those carrying the Blue Soul Crystal.
But Xiao Nuo's eyes were extremely determined. He stared at the last distance, and the fierce power originating from the ancient bronze body exploded in his body.
"Six consecutive collapse attacks!"
With a loud shout, six layers of power exploded, and Xiao Nuo leaped out, as if a tiger with wings on its back leaped behind him.
"Roar!"
The tiger roared across the mountains and rivers, shocking the entire audience.
"one!"
When the last number fell, Xiao Nuo landed steadily on the platform.
"Boom!"
The next second, the entire platform was in chaos.
"Beautiful..." Guan Xiang jumped up excitedly, clenched his hands into fists, raised his arms and shouted.
Luo Ning also danced and clapped her hands: "Okay, Xiao Nuo is great, so awesome."
"Holy shit, this is so exciting." Li Ran touched the cold sweat on his forehead and kept gasping.
Everyone in the main halls had expressions of disbelief, and everyone looked at Xiao Nuo as if they were looking at a monster.
This is so beautiful!
Those people who were so sinister just now all shut their mouths honestly.
Those who mocked the Nirvana Palace also had gloomy faces and looked extremely ugly.
…
On the North Lizard Peak.
There was also an uproar.
"My god, is this still a human being?"
"How scary! This is the first time I've heard that you can step onto the Sky Platform without using the Jade Soul Crystal."
"I've accepted it, I've accepted it. Now it's no use if I don't accept it. This new king is really too cruel."
"..."
The whole place was shocked.
The four evaluators, Mo Huayuan, Lin Ruyin, Elder Xiu, and Elder Ouyang, who were on the high platform in the north, were all still surprised.
"Xiu Lao, is that your improved "Nine Continuous Collapsing Strikes"?" Lin Ruyin at the side asked.
Elder Xiu nodded slightly: "But for normal people, it takes at least two to three years to master the essence."
"How long has he been studying?" Lin Ruyin asked again.
Elder Xiu narrowed his eyes and uttered a few words meaningfully: "One month!"
Lin Ruyin's beautiful eyes widened and her pupils twitched.
Mo Huayuan and Elder Ouyang also had almost the same expression.
…
Return to the assessment place.
Xiao Nuo stepped onto the Climbing Platform and suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was gone.
Just now I was still carrying a huge burden, but now I feel relaxed.
"Junior brother, are you okay?" Guan Xiang came over immediately.
Xiao Nuo shook his head: "No problem."
"You really scared me to death. If I had known you were playing like this, I should have left the Jade Soul Crystal to you."
Guan Xiang still looks frightened now. If Lou Qing, Lan Meng, Chang Qing and others knew that Xiao Nuo had used this method to climb the platform, Guan Xiang would definitely be scolded.
After all, it is really dangerous.
Luo Ning and Li Ran also came to Xiao Nuo.
"Wow, I was so handsome just now!" Luo Ning stretched out his thumb, looking like a little girl.
Li Ran felt a little uncomfortable. After all, when they were in the Huagu Mountains, Xiao Nuo had a bad fight with the rest of the team.
Xiao Nuo was fine. He smiled at Luo Ning and said nothing.
At this time, a dark storm enveloped...
"The first phase of the assessment is officially over!"
The solemn voice reached everyone's ears from the void, and the atmosphere on the platform immediately became quiet.
"Everyone who has successfully stood on the stage at the moment is the third-grade inner disciple. Those who failed to stand on the stage will be teleported back to North Lizard Peak."
The rich voice spread throughout the assessment place, and then, brilliant beams of light rose up one after another in the assessment place.
There were also those who stood on the steps and failed to reach the top at the last moment, and they were all eliminated with regret.
"It's strange, why didn't you see Shen Ji?"
"Yes, Shen Ji is the second-ranked genius among the third-grade disciples. Where has he gone? I remember that he participated in this assessment!"
"It's over. Isn't Shen Ji going to be downgraded?"
"..."
Amid much discussion, all those who were eliminated were sent back to Beizi Peak Square.
On the North Lizard Peak, figures appeared one after another.
Soon, there was an uproar among the crowd, because everyone saw Shen Ji, who was half dead and covered in blood.
"Boom!"
Before everyone can figure out what happened, the second phase of the assessment is about to begin.
Through the hundred-foot magic ball in the void, we can see that clouds are gathering in the sky above the Sky Tower, and a bright and huge magic circle suddenly appears in the clouds.
Everyone on the platform looked at the sky solemnly.
"Clang!"
A sound of thunder pierced the sky, and then, the void shook, the light shot into the sky, and a tall tower glowing with mysterious blood slowly descended from the magic circle.
"Buzz!"
"boom!"
The sound of various forces colliding and intertwining could be heard endlessly. The Phantom Demon Tower was like a majestic pillar falling from the sky and landing on the north side of the Climbing Platform.
"Wow!"
A mighty tidal wave of air swept across the land for ten miles. The appearance of the Phantom Demon Tower was about 150 meters high, and there was also a universe inside.
As the name suggests, Phantom Tower.
It has seven floors in total, each floor is a different fantasy space.
And the area of the illusion space inside is much larger than what can be seen from the outside.
"Chi!"
Suddenly, there was a sound like a match being struck, and the Illusory Demon Tower suddenly ignited into a blood-red flame.
Everyone on the platform subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes reflecting the burning flames.
"There are seven floors in the Phantom Demon Tower. Those who successfully ascend to the seventh floor can be promoted to second-grade disciples. Of course, the ten who spend the least time..."
The powerful voice struck everyone's eardrums like muffled thunder.
"In the Phantom Demon Tower, the use of auxiliary magic weapons such as the 'Thunder Fire Talisman' and the 'Invisibility Talisman' is prohibited, but weapons are not restricted."
When he heard that auxiliary magic weapons could not be used, Li Ran, who was standing next to Xiao Nuo and Luo Ning, slapped his head and felt a little headache.
"If you can't use the auxiliary magic weapon, I'm definitely doomed!"
"Haha, then those thunder and fire talismans and explosive talismans you prepared will be wasted." Luo Ning covered his mouth and smiled.
"Why are weapons not restricted, but not auxiliary magic weapons?" Li Ran said depressedly.
"Ask the examiner."
"Forget it, forget it, at worst, wait until next year!"
"..."
Everyone on the Dengxiao platform communicated in low voices.
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, the person in charge of the assessment, what is the reward for the first one to complete the level this year?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
This is something worth caring about.
A voice from above the Phantom Demon Tower came: "Disciples who successfully advance to the second level will be rewarded. The higher the ranking, the more generous the rewards. As for the first place, they will be rewarded with a 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' and an Earth Level Martial Arts
study……"
On the platform, the whole audience was excited.
"Good guy, Yin Yang Vitality Pill, this is an expensive treasure pill!"
"I heard that refining the 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' is extremely difficult. Even in our Piaomiao Sect, there are no more than three people who are capable of refining this pill."
"That's right, once this elixir is taken, it can form a 'yin and yang cyclone' in the body, which can speed up the absorption of heavenly and earthly energy. During the practice, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
"..."
A 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' has already made the crowd on the field feel restless, not to mention that in addition, there is also a 'Earth Grade Martial Arts' as a reward.
For a time, everyone was ready to take action and try it out.
"Are you all ready?" A powerful voice came from above.
Everyone nodded, no objection: "Yes!"
"In that case, the second phase of the assessment has officially begun!"
"Illusion Demon Tower, open!"
"Boom!"
A loud and heavy sound like rolling thunder came from the inside of the Phantom Demon Tower, and then, a door opened on the first floor of the Phantom Demon Tower.
Immediately afterwards, a staircase extended from the entrance of the Phantom Tower to the climbing platform.
The Phantom Demon Tower, soaked in flames, exudes a dark red light, and everyone's eyes are flashing with scorching light.
"The Phantom Demon Tower assessment begins now...who comes first?"
