Chapter 16: Dabi Begins
Gumo City, Yunlai Inn.
Lin Xuan, who was separated from Yun Mengxi and the others, was here.
At this time, Lin Xuan was a little melancholy. In his mind, he recalled the picture of Yun Mengxi when he learned that Lin Xuan was leaving.
Yun Mengxi's face was full of tears, and the eccentric spirits and monsters on weekdays were not there at all. Begging Lin Xuan not to leave!
At that moment, Lin Xuan was a little shaken. Although they didn't get along for a long time, Lin Xuan still liked this cute little girl.
She followed behind her on weekdays and shouted Brother Lin Xuan vividly, like Yun Yao!
I don't know what happened to Yun Yao!, Lin Xuan thought.
According to what he learned in Gumo City, the location of Canglan Academy was on Star Dou Mountain outside the city.
And these days on Star Dou Mountain is extremely lively, and the heads of many big forces in the empire have gathered here.
Various forces hope to attract some amazing students in the big competition, and at the same time see which of their own juniors can stand out in the big competition!
Due to the different strengths of all the students and the different cultivation time, the form of the big competition is not a simple competition.
The freshman Dabi needs to be tested on the first floor of the Soul Tower of Canglan Academy, in the Vientiane Realm.
According to rumors, this Vientiane Realm is a spiritual world. Some resemble illusions, but all students enter as spirit bodies.
There are also Warcraft among them, but considering the strength of the students. Most of the high-level demonic beasts have been imprisoned. Most of the ones who are active outside are first-order demonic beasts, and there are few second-order ones.
The Soul Tower will be graded according to the student's performance in the Vientiane Realm, and the scoring is based on other performances in the Vientiane Realm in addition to strength. For example, the ability to adapt when encountering Warcraft, the organizational ability to hunt with classmates, and the survivability in the case of Warcraft are full of comprehensive evaluation.
Of course, strength will still account for a large proportion of the rating.
The second item is the dual talent score of elemental perception and elemental mastery.
The one with the highest strength and talent is the first freshman in this class.
The top ten freshmen can enter the third layer of the Soul Suppression Tower's Elemental Sea to cultivate for fifteen days.
The top five can choose a book from the academy's library that suits their own combat skills or cherish spell cultivation.
The top three freshmen can get a weapon or staff inlaid with magic cores. The higher the ranking, the higher the quality of the weapon!
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Soul Suppression Tower to open. Lin Xuan also came to the Star Dou Mountain on this day!
In addition to the gifted students selected from all over the empire, there are also some wanderers who have embarked on the path of cultivation by chance. and the entry of the descendants of certain family sects into the world.
Therefore, in these days, Star Doushan did not prevent the arrival of strangers. We will only ask for the reason, and then arrange separate areas for students and viewers to rest.
Lin Xuan was on a platform halfway up Star Dou Mountain at the moment. The platform is tens of meters long and wide and can accommodate hundreds of people.
On the mountainside, there are as many as 10 such platforms. Half of the platforms will have a large hexagonal crystal in the center. That's where the people who came to watch the trial stayed.
It is said that after the trial begins, each side of the hexagonal crystal will show some conditions of the Vientiane Realm. The ranking of the students will also be displayed on one of the crystals.
"Boom!"
At the suggestion of the members of the law enforcement team of Canglan Academy, Lin Xuan and the other people on the platform entered a meditative state together.
Just after the students of the entire platform had entered a meditative state, the tower at the top of the mountain cast a burst of light. Shrouded the entire platform!
Lin Xuan, who was in a meditative state, was confused for a while, and slowly opened his eyes after waking up.
The surroundings are no longer the familiar Star Dou Mountain, but in a forest. There would be occasional roars and screams of beasts in the distance, and it should be that some students had already started with the monsters!
In this Vientiane Realm, students whose strength is lower than the first order only need to survive to earn points. Students whose strength is higher than the first order need to hunt demonic beasts to gain points.
Although Lin Xuan's actual combat ability had reached the level of a first-order professional, he was actually an eighth-level apprentice. So his task is only to survive.
Naturally, Lin Xuan will also have points for killing Warcraft. And the points earned will be very high.
The Vientiane Realm can accommodate thousands of people, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack for Lin Xuan to find Yun Yao in this Vientiane Realm alone.
But Yun Yao had also stayed in this Canglan School for a few days, and her wood god-level perception would never be unknown in this academy.
You should be able to get a clue. Lin Xuan thought.
Then run straight in the direction where there is the nearest fight.
At this time, it was not far from Lin Xuan. Eight trainees were being attacked by a second-order mighty bull.
Maybe it was bad luck, as soon as they entered the Vientiane Realm, they were in the activity area of this wild bull. And unfortunately, it was targeted.
Among the eight cadets, three were first-order professionals, and five were apprentices. In just a few encounters, two apprentices were seriously injured by the horns. was almost broken up and returned to the platform.
Fortunately, there was a warrior with fiery red hair in the group, who seemed to be quite prestigious and powerful. It briefly dragged the mighty bull and gave everyone a chance to breathe.
However, under the attack of the brute bull, the red-haired man is still in danger. It is possible to be killed by a wild bull at any time.
The other two first-order professionals were a female female magician of the first order of the water type wearing a blue mage suit, and a male magician of the first order of the earth type wearing a yellow mage suit.
The three seem to know each other well and cooperate quite tacitly.
The water mages continue to unleash first-order water spells slowly, and water bombs interfere with the attacks of the mighty bulls. Earth-based mages also unleash first-order spell stone walls when red-haired men are in danger.
For a while, there were also back-and-forths. It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three red-haired men can't cause effective damage to the mighty bull. And once the red-haired man and others relax or are not very good, they will suffer a devastating blow!
Maybe the battle lasted too long. The bull became more and more impatient, and became more and more impatient when attacking.
"Oh no! this brute is going berserk, Childe be careful!" the man in the yellow mage uniform reminded with an anxious expression.
At this time, the brute bull also burst out with stronger momentum and speed than before. Eyes red rushed towards the red-haired man.
Seeing that the red-haired man couldn't dodge, he was about to be hit by a brute bull.
More than a dozen bamboo shoot-like thorns suddenly appeared from the feet of the bull. Ground spikes emerge from under the bull's hooves and lift its front hooves. At the critical moment, the Earth Elemental Mage used another of his skills, the first-order spell: Earth Spike.
While the Earth Spike cannot pierce the Mighty Bull's defenses, it can slightly affect its balance. This slows it down.
At the same time as the ground spike appeared, an inconspicuous pale blue halo enveloped the mighty bull.
All the water elemental mage could do at this point was to be sluggish.
Although affected by the two first-order skills at the same time, the mighty bull still bumped into the red-haired man with great speed.
The red-haired man was instantly lifted by the bull's top, crashed into a big tree, and fell heavily. Bleeding from the mouth and nose!
The brute bull did not give up, and still ran into the red-haired man who fell to the ground.
