After Huang Li finished speaking, he asked everyone to check the things they were carrying on the road again. It didn't take long for Ke Yue, the elder of the inner gate, to walk quickly over to this side. All the students were most familiar with this inner door elder, and it was he who presided over the emergency assembly in the first place, and they entered the Zhiyuan Hall.

Huang Li and Ji Wen hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Ke Yue waved his hand slightly, his face full of solemnity. "Little flea, this time our Lei Tang will depend on the two of you, if this batch of students can't win, then my Lei Tang will be very difficult for decades to come. ”

"Rest assured, Elder, we are very confident that we will win this competition. Huang Li and Ji Wen hurriedly made a guarantee.

"It's not that the old man is not at ease, but the strength of several of their students this time should not be underestimated! I just heard that the Wind Hall, the Rain Hall, and the Electric Hall all have geniuses that are rare in a thousand years, and their average cultivation is not weaker than ours, the second prince just took the genius of the Wind Hall, and the old man heard that he has reached the third stage of cultivation in the Voyeur Martial Stage, can you have the student here to achieve it? Not only that, but the old man also found out that there is a genius in the Rain Hall who has reached the fifth stage of cultivation in the Voyeur Martial Stage, so you two should think fully about the difficulties of this mission. ”

When Huang Li and the others heard this, their backs couldn't help but tighten, and the cold air in their stomachs was rising. "What's going on! Could it be that there are so many geniuses in this world that they can grab a handful at will with their hands? With a genius like Qin Jian who can break through the third level of the Dawn Passage is actually not the highest cultivation, then it seems that the competition will be very fierce this time!"

Although the two of them were shocked in their hearts, it was impossible for them to show a little timidity on the surface, and said loudly to Ke Yue: "Elder Ke, don't worry, I have confidence in these students, and I believe that they will definitely win the first place in this competition." ”

"Well, seeing that you two have such confidence, the old man will be relieved. Ke Yue nodded and chuckled, and then turned to Huang Li with a voice: "Just now, the hall master spread the word, this time they discussed that the competition will be held in three stages, and each stage will be won by which martial arts hall student hunts the demon giant beast Neidan, and there are no additional regulations. Such an unclear game is obviously the emperor's other intentions. It is also a more test for our Lei Tang. Now in addition to the cultivation of these students, its background is more important, fortunately, this time the emperor did not suppress our Lei Tang more, and the rules did not involve the advantages of my Lei Tang. The old man came to follow the owner's instructions, and you should bring enough of these things. Saying that, Ke Yue's hand flashed, pressed it into the yellow calendar storage bag, and nodded to him slightly.

Huang Li quietly used his divine sense to poke into his storage bag, and was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. "Oh, old lady, is this going to start a war?" "Hehe! Don't blame Huang Li's heart for not being able to stand it now, his storage bag is filled alive with countless spirit runes! God! What a big deal!

Huang Li was so excited that he was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Ke Yue also smiled slightly, patted Huang Li's shoulder and commanded softly: "What to do next, you don't need the old man to teach you!"

Huang Li just nodded stiffly. Just kidding! There is still a need to teach this kind of thing? Even a fool understands that the next game is to throw the spirit talisman and finish it. Hehe!

"Alright, get ready to go! The carriage has been prepared for you. After Ke Yue finished speaking, he looked at the many students and walked quickly in the direction of the hall master Yinzhen. The discussion over there has also been completed. The students of the other three martial arts halls also hurriedly sorted out their equipment and prepared to go.

Although Ji Wen vaguely guessed what Elder Ke Yue had given Huang Li, when Huang Li whispered to her, his head was also in a trance! It seemed that the entire Lei Tang had already fought for the right to take care of this source crystal mine. As a result, the two of them felt that the pressure on their shoulders had increased several times in an instant, and they couldn't help but feel a little heavy even when they were panting! You must know that those three martial arts halls are not fuel-efficient lamps, wouldn't they have provided some of the martial arts hall students earlier? Of course, if you want to talk about the spirit fighting talisman, not to mention the invincibility of the Shenglong Empire, even if you look at the entire ancient continent, it is second to none.

Soon, Qin Jian and the others came to the outside of the Lei Hall under the leadership of Huang Li and Ji Wen, where a large number of soldiers were already standing there on horseback, and there were several military carriages parked not far away, each of which was extremely huge, and could seat at least more than 30 people, so they could sit on one for the entire Lei Hall students and teachers.

When the four martial arts academy students got into this huge carriage pulled by six large horses, the soldiers immediately surrounded them. Judging by the situation, the number of soldiers is as high as 3,000, and such strict protection shows how much importance the empire attaches to this group of students. You must know that each of these soldiers is at least five or more stages in the Fengjing period! plus they are fully armed, their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Nai He period, and with such a number of soldiers, if they attack at the same time, how powerful it will be!

At this time, a general-looking man saw that everyone had already gotten into the car, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Go!"

"Whoa!" - all the soldiers shouted in unison.

Until this time, Qin Jian and the other students still didn't know anything about the direction of the Purgatory Valley, the land of refinement, so they asked one after another. Huang Li looked at Ji Wen, and then he chuckled and introduced it to everyone.

It turned out that this Purgatory Valley was actually a chaotic relic discovered by their Ascending Dragon Empire, and this ruin happened to be in the western pass of the empire on the border with the demon behemoth. After many years of operation by the Thang Long Empire, this site is already a very stable and independent space. And there are a huge number of demon beasts living inside, plus the source qi inside is strong, and the reproduction is faster than the outside world. so that the demons and monsters inside are piled up. Most of the demons and monsters that have been practicing for more than 3,000 years have been artificially removed. A few of them were also hiding in the deepest part of the ruins. For those who are below the period of worship, it is the most ideal hunting paradise. The Thang Long Empire regards the ruins here as a treasure, and only students of the four royal halls or soldiers who have made major military achievements are allowed to come to practice hunting.

However, it will take more than 20 days on the road to Xiguan, and the time must not be wasted, so Huang Li and Ji Wen explained various magic skills and immortal techniques to everyone, and urged everyone to practice with all their might. The place where I stayed was also spent in the barracks of the City Guards along the way. Including food is also worked out in the army. Although the days of cultivating while hurrying were hard, when the ten days passed, everyone felt as if they had changed people.

For so many days, although Qin Jian had been thinking about visiting Xiao Lingling in his heart, the people led by the four martial arts halls lived separately in each barracks, and the disciples under him did not have any communication. Thinking about the future competition, everyone is under deep pressure, afraid that if everyone meets, there will be a verbal conflict. After all, the four families were all young students, and it was very likely that they would be hostile to each other under heavy pressure. At that time, not to mention that the teacher who led the team could not be cleaned up, even the escort of this trip could not shirk its responsibility.

After this, even if Qin Jian had a heart, he did not dare to deviate under the solemn warnings of Huang Li and Ji Wen. Fortunately, in the past few days, under the wholehearted cultivation, his cultivation has been brought to a higher level. At this time, his cultivation had reached the second stage of the Voyeur Martial Stage, and the small universe had expanded to more than thirty miles. Nowadays, each ascending section is no longer the level of one mile in the initiation period, but a section of more than ten miles, and if this appalling increase in width is about to come out, it will inevitably be shocked!

However, he himself also discovered a new problem, that is, his own cultivation did not seem to improve quickly, if he referred to the rest of the students, some people had broken through to the cultivation of the Voyeur Martial Stage during this period! Although they had already reached the peak bottleneck of the Dao Entry Stage, the powerful performance of being able to break through to another level was not comparable to his small cultivation level.

After thinking about it, he finally found a clue. Every time he improves his cultivation now, he will also improve his sea of knowledge, and at the same time as he is absorbing the source power with all his might, his sea of knowledge is also accumulating divine sources. Ever since he had cultivated the Heavenly Divine Being, he would unconsciously convert his source qi into a divine source when he was cultivating. In this way, his cultivation is equivalent to a mouthful of food, and the two families will eat it separately. Even if he possessed the innate Dao Perfection Body and other anti-heavenly endowments, he was just like an ordinary person under the double burden. Of course, this is generally compared to these Zhiyuan Hall students. You must know that these students can be regarded as endowed demons if they are compared with other ordinary people.

"Hey, I think I have to work harder than others, otherwise it will be too difficult for these two families to eat. Knowing that he had more cultivation places than others, he even threw away his thoughts about Xiao Lingling, and he calmed down and worked hard to cultivate.

Another five days passed, and just as they were approaching Xiguan, Qing Jianghai and Wu Ke both broke through to the cultivation of the Voyeur Martial Stage. And in the past five days, Qin Jian only felt that his small universe was slightly fuller, and the width only stayed in the range of thirty-one and twelve. I couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with myself, so I put myself even harder into cultivation.

Two more days passed, and the last student who was still in the initiation stage among the students who came to practice this time also officially jumped into the cultivation stage of the voyeur martial arts stage. It can be seen how huge the improvement of everyone is under such single-minded cultivation, but at this time, this kind of rapid cultivation has to end.

No, Huang Li and Ji Wen had already ordered them to stop cultivating, just because they were about to arrive at Xiguan, if they didn't take a good rest, it would not be a good thing for their future cultivation and the competitions that would be held. Hearing this, everyone dared to disobey the order, and immediately stopped. Huang Li once again said some precautions to everyone in the carriage, and also deliberately arranged a soundproof forbidden boundary in the carriage, and then took out a huge amount of spirit runes from his storage bag and distributed them, each of them was a full fifty low-level spirit runes, which frightened these students to the point that their faces turned white. "Oh my God, so many people add up to more than a thousand spirit runes! What kind of concept is this? God。。。。。。 ”

Wu Ke trembled and held a stack of spirit talismans, even his throat was a little dry, and he finally swallowed his throat hard before he asked sharply: "Teacher Huang Li, these can't be fake, right?"

"Hehe, don't you take a spirit talisman and throw it on yourself?"

"Coax。。。。。。 ”

Everyone smiled. Just kidding! This can be fake, don't you see that the spiritual power on it keeps turning? If there is really anyone who doesn't have long eyes and throws this thing on himself, with their weak cultivation, I am afraid that they will not even be able to find the scum. Hehe!

Not to mention, even Qin Jian was a little surprised by such a large number of spirit runes, no wonder Master Tianlong Old Man tried his best to arrange himself into the Thunder Hall, it seems that this Thunder Hall is really not covered. Speaking of which, this kind of low-level spirit rune atlas can be mastered by himself now, as long as there are corresponding materials to depict it, it is not difficult, but Lei Tang has invested so much money this time, which makes him also amazed! If the other three halls do not have corresponding countermeasures, then it is not a problem for Lei Tang to win the championship this time.

"Brothers, with so many spirit runes, I think this competition is just going through the motions, right?"

"Yes, does this need to be compared? After throwing the spirit rune at will, just wait to dig up the demon giant beast Neidan! Hahaha。。。。。。 ”

"Yes, yes, we're going to make a big deal. ”

"Uh-huh。。。。。。 Many students excitedly imagined the next training scene, and their hearts were more relaxed than going on an outing. Hehe!

Seeing that the big guy was so relaxed, Huang Li and Ji Wen couldn't help but nod secretly, there was such a big deal in the hall, who else had this background? Not to mention that these chairs of them were shocked by it, even when the imperial army went to the Valley of the Dead to hunt demon monsters, it was impossible for them to take out so many spirit runes for this small group of people to use at once. Maybe it's just a war against another country, or maybe it's a spectacle!

Soon Xiguan appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this is the closest place between the empire and the demon beasts except for the loyal city, and it is close to the silver wolf pass of the Wumu Empire, which is the most important military strategic town of the empire. Not only is the city high and dangerous, but it is also guarded by one-third of the empire's military force.

When the students of the four halls arrived, the army had already received a rumor that the high-level military leaders themselves stationed here were all from the elite students of the four halls, and of course these rising students were greatly favored and entertained with great enthusiasm. And it is known that this group of students will have a special mission in the future, and it is too important for the elite of the five countries to challenge the hegemony of the empire five years later, so they will be more strictly guarded.

After staying here for three days, the trainees also gained a better understanding of the military environment. Of course, it will also be good for the future, after all, many of them will be in the military. During this period, the top management of the army also made full preparations for this experience, and selected a large number of elites to accompany the team to escort them.

Early in the morning, everyone was escorted by a large number of soldiers and marched towards the Valley of Purgatory. Along the way, all you can see is the sky full of flags and camps. It turned out that there were hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the side of the demon giant beasts outside Xiguan City. In addition to training, they usually integrate the army to hunt demon monsters. One is to train them in actual combat ability, and the other is to increase a large amount of material resources for the empire, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

The Purgatory Valley is located in a big mountain less than twenty miles away from Xiguan, which is at the bottom of the valley, with dangerous peaks standing on all sides, straight as a knife and axe, and smooth as a mirror, there are obvious traces of artificial excavation, not to mention people, even birds can not stand on the shelter. If you send troops to guard the valley mouth, it is really a matter of time.

Sure enough, not far from the mouth of the valley, they saw a fortified castle. There were a large number of soldiers stationed on it. Before everyone could get closer, a group of soldiers had already run out of it. Everyone stood still, waiting for their cross-examination.
