As Vice Dean Xia took the lead in turning to leave, everyone sacrificed their flying swords and followed the Vice Dean and flew towards the depths of the academy.

After about half an hour of flying, everyone landed in a quiet valley, Vice Dean Xia stood at the front of everyone, behind him was the elder of the outer courtyard, Feng Guokun, and 50 college invigilators, and then 500 college freshmen.

About a quarter of an hour later, a strong sense of oppression instantly swept through the entire valley, under this breath, Vice Dean Xia, the Great Elder of the Outer Courtyard Feng Guokun and a group of invigilators were okay, but Xiaopang and their 500 freshmen were not so lucky, all of them fell to their knees, only a few more than 50 people, such as Xiaopang, were still persevering, but they were also very difficult.

Although Vice Dean Xia didn't turn around, the situation behind him was already clear to him, and after looking up at the sky and being silent for 2 minutes, he said with a slight smile on his face, "Okay, Old Man Pang, if you don't put away the coercion of your Infant Refining Realm Great Perfection, I'm afraid these little guys don't need to take any more assessments, just lie on the bed for half a month." ”

"Hahaha, okay, I know, Old Man Xia, but there are really a few very good seedlings among the newly recruited freshmen this year, much stronger than in previous years, and the outer courtyard will be cultivated well in the future" With a hearty laugh, the coercion on everyone's body disappeared.

Hearing this, Feng Guokun and 50 invigilators from the outer courtyard hurriedly knelt down and said, "I respectfully obey Dean Pang's order, all the elders and teachers of the outer courtyard must live up to their mission to train these new students."

Dean Pang Shide stood in the air and nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's start the second stage of assessment!" After saying that, a jade-like scroll from the storage ring in his hand was thrown into the open space below.

I saw that the scroll landed, a blue light flashed, and a circular void gate was instantly formed in the clearing, emitting a blue glow inside, when all this was done, Pang Shide looked at the people below and smiled, then turned around and flew into the distance.

After Pang Shide left, Vice Dean Xia said slowly, "This scroll is the map of the Academy's heavy treasure mountains and rivers, in this map, it is a space with a radius of 10,000 li, and the melee of the second stage of the knockout round of 500 new students will enter this space, and every quarter of an hour, the space will shrink by 100 miles, until there are only 10 freshmen left, and the new students who enter it will later receive the entry token from the invigilator, and then drip your essence blood refining token on it, In addition to allowing you to enter the space of the mountain and river map, this token will also ensure that your life will not be in danger when you are in the melee, when you fight inside, if the token senses that the attack exceeds the tolerance limit, it will automatically send the token holder out, of course, it means that you are eliminated, or when facing a life and death crisis, you can take the initiative to activate the power of the token to teleport you out, so it is also regarded as eliminated, do you understand? Xia Dongze raised his head and stared at everyone.

"Understood," the 500 freshmen replied neatly.

"Now that you understand, then I'm going to talk about the top ten students, the academy's cultivation resource rewards" As soon as they heard the reward, the students below all became attentive.

"The top ten students will get the top ten freshmen token of the outer courtyard, this token can enjoy a 20% discount on points when exchanging cultivation resources in the outer courtyard resource pavilion, I forgot to tell you that all the cultivation resources you will practice in the outer courtyard in the future can only be exchanged in the outer courtyard resource pavilion by contributing points, and the academy contribution points can be obtained in other ways in addition to breaking through the soul power and spiritual power realm, these wait for you to enter the outer courtyard, each of you will have a detailed scroll to introduce everything in the outer courtyard, I won't go into detail right now."

"Continuing with what I said above, in addition to tokens, the academy will also give the top 10 freshmen 100,000 high-grade spirit stones for each of them for cultivation at one time" Hearing that there are so many spirit stones, all 500 freshmen are fried, Xiaopang thought to himself that the academy is really rich, 10 people are 1 million high-grade spirit stones, and the conversion of 10 high-grade spirit stones into lower-grade spirit stones is 10 billion, which is one-eighth of the family's annual income!

"Okay, be quiet, in addition, after the top 10 freshmen are selected, there will be additional rewards in the academy at that time, and when the time comes, the assessment will be announced to you, and then I will announce that the knockout round will start now, please go to the invigilator to receive the token and quickly refine it into the mountains and rivers map" After speaking, Vice Dean Xia flew to the top of the mountain above the valley and sat cross-legged and sat down with his eyes closed and breathed.

500 candidates under the guidance of 50 invigilators quickly received and refined the token, when the first candidate stepped into the void door in front of them, the candidates behind them all entered the mountains and rivers in turn with the tokens in hand, and when all the candidates entered, the 50 invigilators all crossed their legs on the spot and closed their eyes to breathe.

At this time, after Chen Xiaopang entered the mountain and river map, he was randomly teleported under a green mountain peak, after a period of dazzling, Xiaopang regained his mobility, and vigilantly observed around, and found that there were no other candidates around, so he sat cross-legged and breathed in a hidden place next to the mountain peak.

After a while, Chubby opened his eyes, after a slight pranayama, now Chubby has adjusted to the peak state, Chubby wandered cautiously around the mountain peak, while repeatedly comparing the nearby scenery and the map in the token in his mind, and finally let him figure out that he is now at the edge of the northeast corner of the mountain and river map, and according to the map on the token, there is a cold ice pool 500 miles away from him, in this pool to absorb spiritual energy can increase the speed by 2 times whether it is cultivation or recovery, therefore, Chubby plans to go over and have a look first.

In order to be safe, Xiaopang first performed a concealment technique on himself, and then cautiously moved towards the cold ice pool with light steps. About two quarters of an hour, there was the sound of water flowing in my ears, and when I looked forward, I saw a turquoise pool of clear water.

"That's right, this is the Ice Pool, exactly as described in the token!" Chubby muttered softly.

Chubby habitually looked left and right, and when he was about to raise his legs forward, his face suddenly changed, his body bowed, and he took a few steps back slightly, came to a low bush and hid himself, and looked to the right side of the woods.

It didn't take long for a figure to flicker a few times, and came to the edge of the cold pool, this is a candidate with a slightly fat body, this person is a little fat at the end of the first stage of the assessment, it seems that he is called Sun Dahong, he is honest and honest, he likes to drink, and there are rumors among the candidates that he is an alcoholic boy, Sun Dahong, who loves wine, A thousand cups don't pour', at that time, Xiaopang laughed when he heard it, and now he actually met here, but Xiaopang was not in a hurry to show up, he wanted to observe this Sun Dahong first, to see if it was possible to cooperate with this person in this melee assessment, after all, a person's strength is limited, if someone can act with him, then the possibility of entering the top ten will inevitably increase, and it is estimated that other candidates will think so in the end.

I saw that Sun Dahong was extremely cautious, turning around three times in one step, and kept looking around. It was heading exactly where Hantan was, and from its clenched fists, it was clear that it should be ready to attack at any time.

Just when Xiaopang was about to show up to meet Sun Dahong, a scream came from the side of Hantan, listening to the voice, Sun Dahong's howl.

"Brother Yu, it's still your idea, sneak into Hantan in advance, and when these idiots come to Hantan, kill them by surprise," a slightly younger candidate said proudly.

"Of course, however, this is because he only has one person, and we are surprised, if he is also like the two of us, it will not be so easy to get it, okay, hurry up and deal with him out, we can go to the next place." After the man surnamed Yu finished speaking, he stepped forward to stimulate Sun Dahong's token to knock him out.

Just when the man surnamed was about to approach Sun Dahong, Xiao Fat saw the right time, suddenly flew forward, and pinched the two of them with both hands with the high-level Qi Refining Period Xuantian Gong, waving his arms, causing the two bodies to collide violently!

The two of them fainted suddenly, and Xiaopang hurriedly took out their token to excite and knock them out, after doing this, he turned to look at Sun Dahong, and saw that his face was full of vigilance, and Xiaopang did not rush forward.

"You're alright! I have no malice, otherwise I wouldn't show up to save you, my name is Chen Yuanlong, you can also call me chubby, you also saw the situation just now, now most of the candidates are estimated to have found other people to cooperate, if you want, I hope to cooperate with you in this mountain and river map, eliminate other candidates, otherwise, I believe that you are alone, the previous things will still happen, and you may not be able to go to the end, I don't know what you think? After speaking, Xiaopang stood there waiting for Sun Dahong's answer.

"Why did you choose me?" Sun Dahong asked cautiously.

"Because I think it's practical to cooperate with you, people often say that wine is like character, a person who is addicted to alcohol must also be a person with affection and righteousness, besides, I just avoided you from being eliminated, so I chose you, do you have any other questions? If not, just leave here with me, find a place where no one is around, you heal first, and then we will discuss how to go next. After speaking, Xiaopang turned around and walked towards the center of the mountain and river map.

"Okay, since you saved me, I will believe in you, cooperate with you, my name is Sun Dahong, and you will be my Sun Dahong's brother in the future" After speaking, he got up with difficulty and kept up with Xiaopang.

The two of them flew in front of them, and for half an hour, during which Sun Dahong's injuries had also healed, and they stopped at the edge of a valley, because there was a fierce fight in the valley in front of them.

Xiaopang and Dahong slowly touched the valley with hidden figures, after entering the valley, about 2 miles in front of them, there were 6 candidates who were fighting together, both sides had injuries, Xiaopang They did not rashly shoot, and at this time, as a candidate fell to the ground, the situation on both sides changed, the tall side of the three immediately to the injured candidate who fell to the ground, issued an attack, the candidate saw that he could not dodge and stimulated the power of the token, teleported out, now two to three, the slightly shorter side understands that it can't resist, So he turned and fled out of the valley.

However, the three people in the rear saw such a good opportunity, how could they let the two of them leave, so they immediately chased after them, and felt that the three people behind them were chasing, and one of the two young men who was slightly older said to the other companion, "Xiao Yin, you go first, I'll stop them" After speaking, he turned to the three and greeted the three.

He knew that he alone would not be able to resist for too long, so he could only fight the other party with all his strength and eliminate it together, so as to reduce the pressure on Yin Wushuang, who was fleeing in the rear, and after making up his mind, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the flying sword with one hand and stab at the most injured person among the three, while the other hand was holding a talisman seal.

The three of them saw that one of the two people in front of them dared to turn around and meet them, of course, they would not let go of this good opportunity, so they each launched an attack to hit him, but he had no intention of fighting, and only wanted to fight with one of the three of them, so the speed of his feet increased sharply, and he instantly came to the person who was the most injured among the three, and when the long sword in his hand was about to stab at that person, the attacks of the two people behind him were already about to fall on him, and he understood that if these two attacks hit him, then he would be eliminated, He didn't have time to spell out the person in front of him, at this critical moment, he didn't hesitate to sacrifice the talisman with two fingers, instantly detonating the energy in it.

"It's not good, this is the 1st Rank Dao Talisman Burst Talisman, run quickly, otherwise everyone will be eliminated," after saying that, he turned his head and ran, and the other two were not so lucky, and they were eliminated with that person.

The burly candidate who had just escaped from the attack range of the burst charm, although he fled in time, he was still affected, his internal organs were shocked, and a mouthful of reverse blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
