Volume 1 Destiny to Huangquan Awakens the Battle Soul Chapter 15 The Forbidden Tower
The Three Academies Examination is a grand event held every year by the three universities of the Netherworld, Luo Yu College, Daishan Academy, and Dayuan Academy.
This year, it will be held at Luo Yu Academy, when the geniuses of the three colleges will gather together to exchange and learn.
The geniuses who stand out from it will be provided with rich cultivation resources by the academy, and Luo Yu Mountain, as one of the Three Holy Lands, will inevitably have people come to observe it at that time.
Because it is related to the ranking of the three academies, each academy has done its best to cultivate those seed players, and Luo Yu Academy naturally has its own methods.
The inner courtyard is generally not visible to the world, only the outer courtyard is known to the public, and it represents the façade of the entire college. Therefore, the conditions of the students in the outer courtyard are not inferior to those in the inner courtyard in all aspects, but the focus of the two is different.
There is a mysterious pool in the outer courtyard, and the pool is not ordinary water, but the source liquid that can quench the three souls. It was a forbidden place in the outer court, and no one could touch it without permission.
However, in order to take the examination of the three colleges, the outer court decided to select students with outstanding talents to enter it and improve their cultivation.
The news has spread throughout the outer courtyard, and everyone is very active in signing up to participate, and Yunyi will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.
The academy will select eight seeded students to enter the forbidden land to improve their cultivation, and two people will be selected from each grade, and each of them must stand on the fighting platform to the end, which also makes the fighting platform the most lively place.
First of all, we will start with the freshmen who have just been admitted to the hospital. Now Yunyi has become a first-grade person, as long as he appears everywhere, there will be crowds of people and enthusiasm.
The freshmen are the hottest and passionate, and the battles on the fighting platform are also the most exciting and intense.
Freshmen are the future of the college and the fresh blood. More attention is paid to them, which allows many talented students to stand out, if not in the top two, and not be buried in the crowd.
For example, the fat man and Lu Mingfan, who were very talented in formation refining and feng shui techniques, shined, but their own combat power lagged behind, but their talent also made them get the attention of some teachers.
As for Xu Ming, his talent is average, but he never gives up, and the toughness in his bones also makes him quite valued. He has been cultivating hard day and night, which has made him progress rapidly, and at this moment he is standing on the fighting platform to meet the challenges of everyone.
Yun Yi didn't make a move, he seemed to have the potential to become the first place. However, Luo Yu Academy has never lacked talents, and dark horses are even more common.
Xu Ming was easily defeated within ten rounds, and the person who defeated him was unknown and unknown.
But when Yunyi came to power, it was different, he defeated his opponent strongly. You must know that he defeated Xing Lie, an intermediate soul officer level, and this kind of record is unmatched among the freshmen.
There is no suspense, Yunyi and the other person will receive the focus of the academy's training. After the first-year candidates were decided, the remaining places were also fiercely contested.
For these students who are about to receive key training, the college will devote the greatest resources to them.
In the deepest part of the academy is a rather imposing tower called the Forbidden Tower. This is the forbidden place of the Academy. The contents of this tower can be said to be the most precious place in the entire academy, and it is related to the future of the academy.
The tower has nine floors, and there are eight gates in the bottom city to enter the tower. At this time, under the tower, there were nine people standing, and in addition to the eight cadets who were selected, there was also a teacher.
This middle-aged teacher, full of majesty and unsmiling, is the one in charge of guarding the tower.
"You should feel honored to be able to practice in the pagoda. In addition to cultivating inside, you also have to know what the forbidden is, and this is the most important thing. The middle-aged teacher said.
"From now until the start of the Third Academy Examination, you have enough time to cultivate, so you can go in now!"
There were no extra words, and everyone chose a door. Yun Yi also chose a door and walked in, but what he saw in front of him made Yun Yi a little unconvinced.
Here the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the ancient trees are towering, the huge mountains are horizontal, and the roar of wild beasts can be heard in the distance.
Walking further, Yun Yi saw a tribe, and he was stunned: "Could it be that I came to the ancient times, isn't this the interior of the Forbidden Tower?"
"Xiao Wu, are you stupid?, why don't you go in when you get to the door?" a voice came from behind him.
"Why do they call me Little Five?"
Yun Yi looked back, this person had never known, but he looked at him with a friendly and gentle gaze.
To Yun Yi's shock, a large group of people behind him were all covered in the fur of beasts, holding sharp blades and spears in their hands. And there was a beast carcass as big as a hill, which was being carried by everyone towards the tribe.
Everything in front of him was very real, Yun Yi felt the breath of his own flesh and blood, and he actually had a physical body again. Looking at himself, who was also dressed in animal skin, Yun Yi felt that his whole body was full of strength, and there seemed to be a call of beastliness in his body.
There was peace in the tribe, and among the laughter and laughter, some people were unleashing their wild powers, some were wrestling their sharp bone knives on stones, and some were distributing the food they had brought back.
All this is too unbelievable, Yun Yi can't help but wonder what this forbidden tower is down, everything here is very real, but he knows that all this should be illusory.
Suddenly, the battle horn sounded, and the people who originally performed their duties, whether old or young, women and children, instantly became warriors, and the spears and blades in their hands were their reliance to defend their lives.
The earthquake trembled, the smoke billowed and the thunderous roar was approaching. In the smoke and dust, a figure like an ancient magic mountain appeared, with scarlet eyes like blood, a spiky back, sharp claws, and a hideous body.
"When a foreign race is coming, the whole race is on guard to meet the enemy. The sound of the trumpet spread throughout the four fields, and the shouts came and went.
The so-called alien race is not one, but a dozen or twenty.
They are bloody, cruel, terrible, and powerful. The people are like ants, and they can only be reduced to food. But the last thing the Terrans lack is courage, and they have an innate strength within them to be able to compete with it.
At the moment of life and death, whether illusory or real, life needs to be defended at this moment. Yun Yi held a bone knife and crisscrossed between different races.
There are strong and weak alien races, and Yun Yi has never felt that the power in his body is so surging, as if an ancient giant beast is releasing wild power in his body.
Everywhere the bone knife went, blood rained and roared. Yunyi was bathed in the rain of blood and experienced the baptism of blood and pain.
In the end, the peace that was bought with blood was heavy, and no amount of grief could bring back the lives that had been lost.
It was a world of killing for survival, and in the days that followed, war began. He hovered between life and death, and whenever he was on the verge of death, he miraculously came back alive, and his strength was stronger.
After the eight people of Yunyi entered the Forbidden Tower, they each carried out their own cultivation, and no one knew the experience of the others. But at the top of the Forbidden Tower, there is a pool of water, and the Forbidden Tower could not have been able to hold this pool of water, but it just exists, which is strange.
And by the pool, there was a person silently watching the pool. The water is blue and bright.
From time to time, various pictures appeared in the pond, and these pictures were actually the eight students who entered the forbidden tower.
Standing by the pond was an old man, his face was solemn, looking at the picture in the pond, in the picture, Yun Yi was bravely resisting the alien army, this was no longer a tribal crisis, the entire human tribe united to resist foreign enemies.
"What is the origin of this person? He can actually touch the deepest memory of the Forbidden Tower and cultivate in it. Maybe it has something to do with the thing on him! Is it a blessing or a curse?" the old man said to himself, he can't see through, since he can't see through, then look at the destiny of heaven!
The old man gently brushed his hand over the pool, and the picture turned to another person.
The wildness in his body was surging, and it seemed to contain some kind of divine power, Yun Yi had never felt so powerful, he felt that he could kill the alien race with a single sword.
But when he struggled to slash down, everything in sight disappeared. There are no mountains, no tribes, and no aliens.
Yun Yi, who came back to his senses after a long time, realized that he was only standing on the first floor of the Forbidden Tower.
"Is it a hallucination? Or is it a dream? But why is it so real? Yun Yi clenched his fists hard, feeling that the power in his body was very strong, but it was not the return of the wildness he felt before.
"Is this the result of the first layer of cultivation? The soul qi in the body is strong again. Yun Yi said to himself, everything he experienced just now seemed to be real and illusory, and he couldn't fathom it.
"What were you kid doing just now, unleashing your soul qi at the empty hall, fighting the air as if you were in the middle of an evil spirit!" came the incomprehensible voice of the ancestor.
Yun Yi didn't know how to answer, so he simply ignored him.
"Don't be too arrogant, you kid, if you offend me, no one will be able to protect you in the future. The ancestor was very angry and threatened to make Yunyi look good.
"Ancestor, do you know what the Forbidden Tower is?" Yun Yi asked.
"How do I know? Didn't I tell you, I've lost a lot of memories. The Ancestor replied dissatisfiedly.
"Since you don't know, don't keep nagging in my ear, it's annoying!. ”
"You kid...... Dare enough!" the ancestor was about to get angry, but he held back and stopped being verbose. He was also agonizing about why he had lost so many memories.
Yun Yi smiled secretly, he had already figured out the temperament of the ancestor after getting along for so long.
Yun Yi left the first layer and came to the second layer, and compared to the illusion of the first layer, the second layer seemed much more real.
There was only a small table with a futon in front of it, an hourglass on the table, and walls on all sides.
Yun Yi groped around the wall, and when he looked back at the road, he was shocked to find that there was only a wall.
It's an enclosed space, so quiet that you can hear the sound of sand sliding down in an hourglass.
The simple arrangement makes this place suitable for retreat and penance, but what is the test at this level?
Putting aside his worries, Yun Yi calmed down and thought, the sound of an hourglass kept coming from his ears, Yun Yi didn't pay attention to this at first, but later he found that the sound of sand sliding down had been ringing in his ears, and he didn't stop at all.
Yun Yi looked at the hourglass carefully, the small hourglass seemed to contain infinite sand, I didn't see it at all, I didn't see it much, but it kept slipping.
The hourglass is used to calculate time, and the situation in front of him makes Yunyi start to think in the direction of time.
He thinks there is only one possible explanation for this phenomenon.
It's that time flies so slowly, so slowly that it's impossible to calculate. But no matter how slow time passes, there will be a time when the little hourglass will run out.
Yun Yi took the hourglass in his hand and changed the direction up and down. However, the sand in the hourglass did not change the direction of the slide, did not leak from the top down, and still remained the same as before, actually leaking from the bottom to the top.
Yun Yi couldn't help frowning, what did this mean. Time and space within the hourglass seem to be completely cut off from reality.
Yun Yi looked at the hourglass, and with a force on his hand, the shell of the entire hourglass shattered at once, but the sand inside remained in its previous state.
This was incredible, beyond Yun Yi's understanding, he was still wondering if the shell material of the hourglass was special and contained strange abilities.
But now it seems that it is not simply explainable.
Although the first layer is illusory, Yun Yi is really killing in it and his cultivation has improved.
The second layer is a very real environment, but it has phenomena that are difficult to explain.
Combining these two layers, Yunyi's thoughts are flying, looking for common ground.
Time seemed to pass quickly, but it seemed to pass very slowly, and when Yun Yi opened his eyes again, he smiled, and the answer was already in his chest.
