As he passed the challenge tablet, Ning Yan paused for a moment.

His gaze was on the stele.

The first, second, and sixth places are all disciples of the Upper Courtyard of Huoyan Academy. The third, seventh, and tenth places are disciples of the Upper Courtyard of Jinhui Academy. The fourth and eighth places are disciples of the Upper Courtyard of Water Moon Academy. The fifth place is a disciple of the Upper Courtyard of Tuyou Academy. The ninth place is a disciple of the upper courtyard of Muchun Academy.

Ning Yan shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "The situation of Tuyou Academy is not very good, and Muchun Academy is even weaker. ”

Immediately, he stepped into the gate of the Nine Star Tower.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large hall with black accents. Then, he saw the figures of more than a dozen disciples of the academy in front of him. Behind these academy disciples, there sat an old man in a gray robe, with long gray hair and gray beard.

As soon as Ning Yan came in, the more than ten disciples of the academy all looked at him.

"Senior Brother Ning?" Some students recognized Ning Yan.

In the entire Yangding Academy, almost half of the disciples had seen Ning Yan in Yingcai Peak Square.

Among the more than ten people here, it is natural for someone to know him, which is naturally a normal thing.

"Hello senior brother." Some students bowed their hands.

A man wearing the uniform of a disciple in the upper courtyard frowned and said with a sour breath: "He is that fifth-level newcomer Ning Yan?" It didn't seem to be anything peculiar, but it was rewarded with 5,000 credits in the placement competition. ”

Another female disciple of the Upper Courtyard said with a smile: "Being able to be rated as level five in the Heavenly Ladder Grading Tournament must be outstanding. ”

At this time, Ning Yan also smiled and asked, "Are your fellow Daoists also challenging the Nine Star Tower?" ”

The male upper court disciple who had just spoken sneered, "We're not here to challenge the Nine Star Tower, are we here to make small talk?" ”

Because today is the last day of the month, there will be more disciples from the academy who choose to challenge the Nine Star Pagoda today. If it was the first few days of the month, there were almost no disciples who came here to challenge the Nine Star Pagoda.

Among the more than 1,000 academy disciples of the Yangding Academy, there are usually as many as three or four hundred people who only come to challenge the Nine Star Pagoda on the last day of each month.

Ning Yan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "What Senior Brother said is true. ”

A lower court disciple said, "Senior Brother Ning, if you also want to challenge the Nine Star Tower, you need to hand over your identity spirit rune to Elder Huayin first. ”

The gray-robed old man sitting behind the disciples of these schools was one of the elders of the Yangding Academy, named Hua Yin.

Ning Yan thanked him and walked over to Elder Huayin.

"Meet the Elders." Ning Yan bowed and saluted.

Elder Huayin's eyes were blazing, and his eyes looked at the young academy disciple in front of him.

After Ning Yan saluted, he stroked his beard and chuckled, "You are the newcomer Ning Yan who was recruited into my Yangding Academy this year, right?" In the Ranked Rankings, you've done really well. ”

It is naturally impossible for a high-level student like him not to know that in this year's grading competition, there was a fifth-level newcomer named Ning Yan.

Ning Yan hurriedly said, "The elder has won the prize. The disciple came to the Nine Star Pagoda today to challenge. ”

Hua Yin nodded and said, "Okay, give me your identity spirit rune." ”

When Ning Yan handed over the identity spirit rune.

Hua Yin stretched out his hand, pointed to the inner wall of the side, and continued: "Ning Yan, look over there. There are a total of nine challenge entrances, one on the left is No. 1, the second from the left, and No. 3 from the left, in order until the ninth entrance. If you enter from any of the entrances, you can challenge the Nine Star Tower normally. The difficulty is exactly the same, in each level, you have half a tea time to pass, if you can't enter the next level within the specified time, the challenge will fail, and you will be automatically teleported back to the main hall. However, because there are too many disciples challenging the Nine Star Pagoda today, you need to wait in line. ”

The design of the Nine Star Tower allows nine students to challenge at the same time.

Usually come to challenge the Nine Star Tower, basically there is no need to queue. Today is the last day of the month, and there are too many students challenging the Nine Star Tower, so they need to wait in line.

Ning Yan said: "The disciple is pale, so he will wait in line here." ”

After speaking, he retreated to the vicinity of the more than ten disciples of the academy.

After Ning Yan, there were disciples of the Nine Star Pagoda who entered the hall of the Nine Star Pagoda from the outside, and there were also disciples of the Academy who came earlier than him who began to challenge the Nine Star Tower, and there were also disciples of the Academy who failed to challenge and were teleported down from above.

At each level, there is only half a tea time at most. Therefore, the time spent by the disciples of the academy is destined not to be very long. For most disciples, the entire challenge process may only take about a cup of tea to a stick of incense.

Ning Yan noticed that on the right side of each challenge entrance, there was a white spar frame mirror. This square mirror is composed of a total of ten white crystals.

And on each box, there is a red point of light flashing. This point of light is high and low, some on the first spar, some on the second spar, and some on the third and fourth spar.

When the mind moves, it is suddenly white.

These red dots should represent the disciples of the academy who have begun to challenge the Nine Star Tower.

When a disciple is on the first layer, a red dot will appear on the first hedron. If you are on the second layer, a red dot will appear on the second hedron. If you are on the third layer, a red dot will appear on the third hedr. By analogy, if you pass through the ninth layer of the Nine Star Tower, a red dot will appear on the tenth spar.

In this way, the results of each disciple of the academy challenging the Nine Star Pagoda were clear at a glance.

About half an hour later, a beam of light descended and appeared in front of Entrance Six. In an instant, the figure of a lower courtyard disciple appeared in the beam of light. Obviously, this person has already completed his Nine Star Tower challenge.

Elder Huayin frowned, and said, Disciple Ning, you can now enter the sixth entrance to challenge the Nine Star Tower. ”

Finally, it was Ning Yan's turn.

He hurriedly replied, "Yes! ”

In the main hall, all eyes watched Ning Yan walk quickly towards the sixth entrance.

At this time, the number of disciples in the main hall was already dozens of people. Most of these disciples had completed the Nine Star Pagoda challenge, and a few of them had arrived after Ning Yan.

And those disciples who had already completed the challenge but did not leave, undoubtedly wanted to wait and see if Ning Yan, a genius student who was rated as level five in the Heavenly Ladder Grading Competition, could finally pass the first few floors of the Nine Star Tower in the challenge.

"Senior Brother Ning Yan has entered the sixth entrance."

"What level do you say he's going to stop?"

"He is an Innate Realm martial artist, and it stands to reason that he should be able to reach the fourth layer through the third layer."

"Hehe, I don't think he will be able to pass the third layer. Don't forget, he's a newcomer, it's the first time he's challenged the Nine Star Tower, and he has no prior experience. An upper court disciple sneered and turned his eyes to say.

Elder Huayin squinted slightly, and seemed to look at the spar mirror at the sixth entrance unintentionally, he was also a little curious in his heart, Ning Yan could pass through several layers.
