Climbing to the sky.
The first stage of assessment led to the final countdown.
"Twenty, nineteen, eighteen..."
The cold countdowns hit 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, using powerful explosive force from his legs to leap more than ten meters and cross 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 was flying and debris was flying.
Xiao Nuo used "Nine Continuous Collapses" to create continuous bursts of power, 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!"
Last second.
Xiao Nuo was still about thirty steps away from the top of the climbing platform. In the eyes of everyone, this section of the road seemed to have become a "death dividing line."
"It's over!" someone said.
"He can't get up."
"..."
The last distance is the most stressful, 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, the six levels of power exploded, Xiao Nuo leaped out, and behind him it seemed like a tiger with wings on its back leaped up.
"Roar!"
The tiger roared across the mountains and rivers, shocking the entire audience.
"one!"
When the last number fell, Xiao Nuo landed firmly 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 gasped.
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 cool!
All those shady people just now kept their mouths shut.
Those who mocked the Nirvana Palace also had gloomy faces, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
…
On the North Lizard Peak.
There was also an uproar.
"Oh 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. It's no use not to accept it now. This new king is really too cruel."
"..."
The whole place was shocked.
The four evaluators, Mo Huayuan, Lin Ruyin, Elder Xiu, and Elder Ouyang on the high platform in the north were still surprised.
"Xiu Lao, is that your improved "Nine Continuous Collapsing Strikes"?" Lin Ruyin asked from the side.
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, who stepped onto the platform, 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 used this method to climb the platform, Guan Xiang would definitely be scolded.
It was really dangerous after all.
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 was 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 this moment is the third-grade inner disciple. Those who failed to stand on the stage will be teleported back to the Northern 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. They were all eliminated with regret.
"It's strange, why don't you see Shen Ji?"
"Yes, Shen Ji is the second-ranked top genius among the third-grade disciples. Where has he gone? I remember that he participated in this assessment!"
"It's over. Is Shen Ji going to be downgraded?"
"..."
Amidst 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 gathered in the sky above the Sky Platform, and a bright and huge magic circle suddenly appeared in the clouds.
"It's coming, it's coming... Illusion Demon Tower!"
"Is it about to start?"
"..."
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 was endless. The Phantom Demon Tower was like a majestic pillar, falling from the sky and landing on the north side of the Climbing Platform.
"Wow!"
The mighty air flow swept across ten miles. The appearance of the Phantom Demon Tower was about 150 meters high, and there was also a universe inside.
Just like its name, Phantom Demon Tower.
It has seven floors in total, and 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 Phantom Demon Tower suddenly ignited into a blood-red flame.
Everyone on the platform subconsciously took a few steps back, and the burning flames were reflected in their eyes.
"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 'Thunder Fire Talisman' and 'Invisibility Talisman' is prohibited, but weapons are not restricted."
As soon as he heard that the auxiliary magic weapon could not be used, Li Ran, who was standing next to Xiao Nuo and Luo Ning, slapped his head and felt a 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 there no restrictions on weapons, 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 person 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 reward. As for the first place, a 'Yin Yang Vitality Pill' and an earth level weapon will be rewarded." study……"
On the stage, 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."
"Yes, once this elixir is taken, it can form a 'yin and yang cyclone' in the body, which can speed up the absorption of heavenly spirit 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 agitated, not to mention that in addition, there is also a 'Earth Grade Martial Arts' as a reward.
For a time, everyone was ready to make a move and eager to give it a try.
"Are you all ready?" A powerful voice came from above.
Everyone nodded without any 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?"
