Ao Sheng brought out an ancient-looking scroll.
The scroll had mysterious runes on the outside, similar to the runes on the walls of the Black Wind Cave. But the level of the runes on this scroll was far inferior to those in the Black Wind Cave.
Ao Sheng clasped his hands together and mumbled a few words. It looked like he was chanting a curse or something.
He suddenly widened his eyes, and a powerful yuan energy surged out from his body. He then shouted, âOpen!â
The scroll flew into the air by itself and unfurled.
A halo of light rippled out from the center of the scroll, just like a portal being opened or an entrance opening to a new map area in the game.
Ao Sheng said right after, âYou will fail if you lose your identity card and will be automatically transported out. There are only ten placements for you people. Once the number of places has been reached, the assessment will automatically end. Remember â It is best not to kill people inside. Otherwise, your assessment results will be placed as pending status.â
âDoes everyone understand?â
âUnderstood!â Everyone chanted in unison.
Luo Tian whispered, âWhat does it mean by pending status?â
Bai Lingling replied in a low voice, âThis is to prevent the assessment from becoming an all-out fight, which will greatly impact the strength of the Central Continent. Thatâs why the personâs results will be in pending status. If you kill someone inside, even if you are just defending yourself, and you happen to be one of the ten placements, you may still not pass the assessment.â
Luo Tian continued asking, âHow does anyone know whatâs going on inside? Are they monitoring us somehow?â
Bai Lingling looked at Luo Tian and thought that he was a bit ignorant of common knowledge. She then said, âDonât you know about it? These scrolls are made by sorcerers. Once the assessment is completed, these scrolls will automatically return to the headquarters of the Misty Cloud Academy assessment officer. There are special people who will specifically review these scrolls. After all, the Misty Cloud Academy doesnât want to recruit a disciple from the devil sects. This process is a good way to prevent them from infiltrating.â
Luo Tian nodded before muttering to himself, âSo sorcerers are this strong? They can refine scrolls related to space-time and preserve the video images of all participants. Looks like I really should become a sorcerer sometime sooner.â
After learning about this, Luo Tian stopped speaking and started searching with his eyes. The cold killing intent he had just sensed came from one of these disciples, but after looking several times, he couldnât find anything.
Luo Tian said to himself, âWas I too paranoid?â
Since he had this doubt, Luo Tian reminded the others, âWe have to be extra careful inside this spatial realm since we donât know whatâs inside. If our group gets split up, we should hide and find a way to meet up. The first assessment is like a survival game where whoever can stay in longer will pass the test.â
The three nodded.
Bai Xiong then said, âBoss, with our current cultivation realms, who would dare oppose us? HahahaâŠâ
Luo Tian replied, âDonât be overconfident. The disciples of the four great families are not that easy to deal with, and they may join forces against us. Donât forget what happened in the Black Wind Cave. Since they were willing to enter the Black Wind Cave to hunt us down, they might also do the same thing to us inside the spatial realm.â
Bai Xiong was briefly stunned before he exclaimed, âDamn! Weâre all competing for the ten spots, so they arenât really going to join forces against us, right?â
Luo Tian exhaled before saying, âLetâs hope thatâs not the case.â
Their cultivation may have increased, but there were only four of them.
There were dozens of disciples from the four great families. If they were to join forces with other smaller family disciples, the four of them would face a siege by more than 20 plus people. Most importantly, they didnât know what kind of environment was inside.
If the map was too large and they were separated by a long distance, it is very likely that the three of them would not pass.
That was actually the good part because if the four great families did join forces, they would definitely make killing moves so that none of them could come out alive.
âFuuu~âŠâ
Luo Tianâs eyes darkened as he said to himself, âIf others donât provoke me, I wonât provoke them. If they do provoke me, I will fuck over their entire family!â
The portal grew larger before landing next to Ao Sheng.
Ao Sheng took out the list and read out the names one by one, âOuyang Hai, Deng Jiutian, Zhang MingâŠâ
The person whose name was called would walk into the portal and instantly disappear.
Based on the order, the three of them should be closer to the front, except for Luo Tian. But the surrounding participating disciples had all left, and it still wasnât their turn. A person who enters the portal first has a natural advantage, such as acclimating to the environment inside and having more time to gather with their fellow disciples.
Most importantly, if the disciples of the four great families had really joined hands, they could basically form an ambush area inside the spatial realm. This would obviously be a big disadvantage for Luo Tian and his group.
âWu Sha!â
Once Ao Sheng read that name, his eyes faintly flickered, and his finger tapped the edge of the portal. It was a very subtle movement, and no one noticed it.
Wu Sha, like the disciples before him, carefully walked into the portal.
After all the disciples of the four great families entered, disciples from Towering Cloud Cityâs other small families entered. The name âWu Shaâ was nothing special, and it didnât arouse anyoneâs suspicion. Luo Tianâs brows faintly furrowed at his name, though.
The participating disciples had all left.
Bai Xiong then complained, âWhatâs going on? According to the ranking of our identification number, we should be somewhere in the front. How come we are the last? Isnât this a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us?â
Ao Sheng sneered in disdain, âI am deliberately making things difficult for you. What about it? Are you unhappy? If youâre unhappy about it, you donât have to take the assessment.â
Bai Xiong was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. âYouâŠâ
Luo Tian held Bai Xiong back and said, âItâs just waiting for a bit.â
Ao Sheng glanced at Luo Tian before sneering. He then flipped through the roster in his hand. âHuh? Where is it? What were the names of the remaining four dogs again? Oh, I canât find it. What were their dog names again?â
Bai Xiong was instantly enraged.
This chaptđr is updated by frŃewebηovel.cŃłm.
It was the same for Bai Lingling.
No one can stand this kind of humiliation.
Bai Qi and the rest of the Bai family were also full of anger. But Bai Qiâs main worry was that Bai Xiong would not be able to control his anger and would do something rash. If that happened, their familyâs quota would definitely be canceled.
A raging flame was burning inside Luo Tian, but he wouldnât be Luo Tian if he couldnât even tolerate such minor things.
Luo Tian held back Bai Xiong tightly again before looking at Ao Sheng and saying with a smile, âItâs okay; we have plenty of time. Donât get angry because of a few words from a vicious dog. If you do, that means you have fallen for the dogâs trap.â
Ao Shengâs eyes darkened before he angrily shouted, âDamn dog thing! Who are you calling a dog?!â
Luo Tian chuckled and said, âLord Ao, how would I dare call you a dog? How can I compare you to a dog? Uh⊠no, I was wrong. How can a dog compare to you? A dog is much stronger than you. Uh⊠look at me, I keep saying the wrong words. Iâm so sorry.â
âHahahaâŠâ
Ao Shengâs teeth were cracking from clenching so hard. If it hadnât been for fear of affecting Wu Shaâs plan, he would have made a move himself already. He looked at Luo Tian and smiled coldly, thinking to himself, âKid, youâre dead today. Inside is your burial place. Letâs see if you can keep laughing then!â
