The Firmament Continent, the Purple Desolate Domain, the Purple Desolate Mountains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Purple Barren Mountains wind endlessly, a towering peak reaching into the sky, and the bare mountain walls are barren and purple in the scorching sun.

On top of the cliff, a black-covered humanoid puppet climbed upwards without hesitation, carrying a slender teenager behind it.

The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in coarse linen, the corners of his elbows and knees were worn to tatters, and his gray cloak covered his head to ward off the restless hot wind blowing between the mountain walls, revealing only a pair of clear and attentive eyes.

Rough ropes went around his shoulders and waist, tying the boy and the humanoid golem back to back.

Xu Yan twisted his somewhat stiff shoulders, the skin on his shoulders was deeply strangled by the rope, and the hot sweat that oozes into the wound is scorching.

Xu Yanhun didn't care about this, compared with his previous experience, this injury was really not even a minor injury.

Licking his chapped lips, Xu Yan took out a kettle from the burden tied around his waist, took a sip of water, and his hot throat finally felt a little cool.

Squinting at the sky, Xu Yan raised his hand and gently tapped on the back of the head of the humanoid puppet, urging:

"Go to the top before it gets dark. ”

The humanoid puppet seemed to understand Xu Yan's words, and its movements were indeed much faster, and a pair of black and shiny palms were pointed into knives, alternately inserting into the hard mountain wall, and climbing up with their hands and feet at a rapid pace.

The Purple Barren Mountain Range winds for more than 100,000 miles, along the lilac mountain range, at intervals of thousands of miles, scattered with one hundred and twenty-seven Tongtian Peaks, each of which is like a pillar of heaven, penetrating the clouds and connecting with the sky.

The Firmament Continent is respected by martial arts, and there are countless strong people.

However, the Purple Desolate Domain is far away from the main continent and is an abandoned wasteland isolated from the outside world, and the aura of heaven and earth is too irritable, resulting in it being unable to be absorbed and refined by the human body.

Unless the Terrans born here climb to Tongtian Peak before the age of eighteen and become a cadet through the selection of the Star Academy every five years, they will not be able to leave this place for the rest of their lives, and they will not have a chance to do nothing and martial arts.

Xu Yan, due to an accident six years ago, crossed from the earth to the Firmament Continent and was reborn as a teenager from the Great Wilderness tribe in the Purple Wilderness Region.

From his tribe to the nearest Tongtian Peak, the distance was seven or eight thousand miles, and it took Xu Yan more than two years to reach this place, and he experienced several life and death risks.

The environment of the Purple Desolate Domain is harsh and sparsely populated, but the area is too vast, and every time the Star Academy selects as many as one million people to participate, less than one percent of the people can overcome the dangers in the desert for thousands of miles, and walk to the foot of Tongtian Peak.

The remnant sun was like blood, and when the last rays of light disappeared into the sky, Xu Yan finally reached the top of the mountain.

The humanoid puppet touched the edge of the peak with both hands, and suddenly jumped into the air with force under its feet, landing steadily on the summit of Tongtian Peak.

The summit of Tongtian Peak is very flat, as if someone has cut off the tip of the mountain, and the ground in the center is carved with a circle of complex patterns, and the array of light and shadow exudes a trace of soft and bright light, and the top of the mountain is illuminated.

Above the sky, a sacred and ethereal temple hung in the air, like an ethereal shrine, and the array at the bottom reflected the array below.

Around the magic circle, there were seventy or eighty teenagers sitting scattered, dressed as simple clothes and sturdy by the Purple Desolate Domain tribe, obviously the candidates who had reached the peak first, most of them were sixteen or seventeen years old.

When the group of people found Xu Yan and the humanoid puppet behind him coming, they all looked over, their eyes full of scrutiny, and a few hints of surprise.

Compared with these people, Xu Yan's age is secondary, and there are no shortage of fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers among them. The key thing is that their muscles are strong, and their swollen muscles are full of explosive power, Xu Yan and these people are a full circle smaller than their bodies.

Anyone who can reach the peak is one out of a hundred with good strength. Without a strong physique, let alone the dangers along the way, standing at the foot of the 10,000-foot high Tongtian Peak will be discouraged.

"Hmph, what can you do if you rely on external forces to climb Tongtian Peak? If you don't have real skills, you can't pass the assessment in the end!"

In the crowd, I don't know who suddenly said that he was very ashamed of Xu Yan's behavior of climbing to the top with a puppet.

As soon as these words came out, many people showed expressions of deep disapproval, and some people looked greedily at the humanoid puppet beside Xu Yan.

In the Purple Desolate Domain, humanoid puppets are rare items that can only be refined by truly strong people from the main continent. Such a humanoid puppet is worth 10,000 gold, and it is not unusual for people to be red-eyed.

The discussion gradually subsided, and although there were many people with red eyes, no one dared to take half a step closer.

Xu Yan looked thin, but the puppet beside him, which was a head taller than ordinary people, was powerful, and his body made of black iron was like a thick copper wall.

Ten days later is the day of the official assessment, and no one wants to make trouble at this time, in case of injury, the gain outweighs the loss.

Xu Yan was a human being in two lives, and he didn't care about everyone's gaze, so he found a clean place to sit down and rest, and the humanoid puppet stayed by his side every step of the way.

After resting for a while, Xu Yan stood up and walked to the magic circle in the central area, gently tried to touch it with his hand, and quickly withdrew his hand if he was shocked.

Several teenagers sneered not far away, laughing at Xu Yan's incompetence.

Xu Yan's face was calm, a pair of bright eyes blinked, he stood by the circle and thought for a moment, then returned to the place and sat with his eyes closed.

Within his sea of knowledge, a red-gold scroll of wordless heavenly books suspended in the void, surrounded by a little starlight, exuding a vast and mysterious aura.

"I touched the circle just now, but there was still no response to the book. Xu Yan meditated.

This wordless book hidden in Xu Yan's mind has been around for a long time, and it has been with Xu Yan since the earth was reborn, but Xu Yan has tried countless methods, but it has not responded, and I don't know what it does.

Finally climbed to Tongtian Peak and saw the existence of the magic circle, Xu Yan certainly did not miss the opportunity to try.

"It seems that the method is still wrong, and we can only explore its secrets later. Xu Yan retracted his mind and didn't think about it anymore.

Ten days passed in a flash, and except for Xu Yan, no newcomer climbed to the top of Tongtian Peak. Including Xu Yan, there were a total of eighty-three people who participated in the assessment of this Tongtian Peak.

"There are more than one hundred and twenty Tongtian Peaks in the Purple Desolate Mountain Range, and according to this number, the number of people who can participate in the assessment of the Star Academy is about more than 10,000. ”

Xu Yan silently calculated, he had already expected the intensity of the competition in the assessment, and only 10,000 people out of millions came to this point, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The hour was approaching, the pattern of the formation pattern in the central area was getting brighter and brighter, and everyone was sitting on their knots, waiting for the next moment to change their fate.

The assessment of the Star Academy has a far-reaching influence in the Purple Desolate Domain, but no one knows the specific content of the assessment.

Because, among the previous participants, those who climbed Tongtian Peak never came back.

Thousands of troops crowded the single-plank bridge, Xu Yan couldn't help but think of the college entrance examination in the earth era, the difference is that this kind of assessment is completely gambling with life.

The hour had come, and the magic circle on the top of Tongtian Peak was brighter than ever, and a pillar of light was cast from the suspended temple above, and the two reflected each other.

"All candidates, enter the circle. Those who do not meet the requirements will retreat, and those who break in will die. "A majestic voice came from the sky, and it was irresistible.

"I'm coming!" a bold young man took the lead, and as soon as his front and back feet stepped into the circle, the whole person disappeared.

The others looked at each other, and the people who could get here were not cowardly, and they followed one by one into the magic circle, and more than eighty people quickly teleported away most of them.

"Ahh

Suddenly, there was a scream from inside the circle, and a tall and thin young man who had just stepped into the circle exclaimed loudly, turning into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.

"Those who are older than eighteen years old, retreat immediately now, whoever has the heart of luck again, this is the end!"

The previous magnificent voice sounded again, and everyone realized that the tall and thin young man who exploded and died exceeded the age required by the assessment, and wanted to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect to be recognized by the magic circle at once, and his death was extremely miserable.

With the experience of the past, two or three more people withdrew from the team with embarrassed faces, and the reasons are self-evident.

After some episodes, order was restored, and the rest of the people continued to step into the circle, and there were no other abnormalities.

Xu Yan stood at the end of the crowd, frowned slightly, turned his head to the humanoid puppet behind him and said, "Wait for me here, I will definitely come back." ”

"Lie...... Flame...... , wait for ......" The puppet spat out three words with difficulty in his throat, his eyes flashed a few faint blue lights, and then he stood in place like a cold statue, never moving again.

Xu Yan sighed lightly, turned around and stepped into the circle, and disappeared into the circle.
