After routinely reading out the rules, Tan Zeyuan waved his hand without delay.

"Let's go!"

A teacher immediately stepped forward, took the list and began the roll call.

"Gui Gang!"

"Guo Lan!"

"Chang Bingyi!"

One by one, the students who read their names stepped forward.

It wasn't until there were ten people that the teacher stopped taking the roll call and pointed to the entrance of the keel tower.

"Let's go inside!"

The ten students glanced at each other and walked into the tower with a look of excitement mixed with apprehension.

The keel tower is layered with distinct sections.

In the center of each layer is a large, round golden bead.

As the students entered the tower, the beads on the first floor suddenly lit up with a golden light.

Meanwhile.

The surface of the stele changed abruptly, revealing dense text.

If you look closely, you can see the names of the ten students who entered the tower, the floor they are on, and the length of stay.

The gold beads on the first layer lit up for less than two minutes, and the gold beads on the second layer lit up with them.

At the same time.

Chang Bingyi's name on the stele also flashed, jumping to the first line.

'Chang Bingyi, currently on the second floor, took one minute and fifty-six seconds'

Chen Chuan looked around quietly.

Everyone's expressions were normal.

Obviously, this is a very ordinary result.

After another half minute, the rest of the students also arrived on the second floor one after another.

It didn't take long for the third layer of gold beads to suddenly light up.

It was still Chang Bingyi who was ahead, with a time of six minutes and forty-eight seconds.

Immediately after that, the rest of the students also arrived on the third floor.

However, this time, after a full five or six minutes, the fourth layer of gold beads never lit up.

During this period, people came out of the keel tower one after another.

or look depressed.

Or rejoice.

About two minutes later, Chang Bingyi also came out, looking dejected.

Apparently unwilling not to make it to the fourth floor.

Tan Zeyuan's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly:

"Next batch!"

Ten more students walked into the tower.

Chen Chuan understood it.

The Keel Tower can only enter a maximum of ten people at the same time per round.

On average, each round can be finished in more than 10 minutes.

The one with the worst results at the moment can climb to the third level.

It just took a little more time.

"Yu Xingfeng is right, the annual assessment is not difficult."

"The key is what can be achieved."

Chen Chuan thought secretly.

By the third round, someone had finally climbed to the fourth floor.

In the fifth round, someone climbed to the fifth floor.

Chen Chuan observed for a while, and soon found that those students who had climbed to the fourth layer were all second-level martial artists without exception.

"It seems that the third layer is a node."

"Distinguish between a Level 1 martial artist and a Level 2 martial artist."

"So which layer is the node that distinguishes a level 2 martial artist from a level 3 martial artist?"

Chen Chuan looked at the upper half of the keel tower.

The sixth floor?

Or is it higher?

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion around.

But it was the teacher who read Liao Quan's name.

As the third place in last year's annual assessment, Liao Quan is a celebrity in the martial arts department.

"It's finally Liao Quan's turn."

"I wonder how many floors he will be able to climb this year?"

"It is estimated that it is the same as last year, the fifth layer is too difficult to break through!"

"That's not necessarily, a year has passed, and Liao Quan's strength must have improved a lot!"

Listening to the discussions around him, Liao Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of triumph.

He glanced at Cheng Siyu and saw that the girl was chatting with her friends, and she didn't pay attention to this side at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Soon, however, he lifted his spirits and entered the keel tower with his head held high.

In just one minute, the second layer of gold beads lit up.

After another two minutes, the third layer of gold beads emitted a dazzling golden light.

It only took less than ten minutes for Liao Quan to climb to the fifth floor.

It wasn't until he reached the fifth layer that Liao Quan's speed finally slowed down.

However, after about ten minutes, the golden beads of the sixth layer suddenly lit up.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"It's the sixth floor!"

"Look, I'll just say it, Liao Quan's results this year will definitely exceed last year!"

"Tsk, Xiao Licheng was only in the fifth layer last year, and Liao Quan has already tied up with the results."

"I wonder if I can go up to the next level?"

Many people stared at the keel tower with wide eyes.

However, the golden light of the seventh layer did not light up for a long time.

On the contrary, four or five minutes later, the sixth layer of golden light suddenly dissipated, and Liao Quan walked out of the dragon bone tower.

Although he failed to climb to the seventh floor, he insisted on the sixth floor for more than four minutes, which was far more than last year, and Liao Quan was still very happy in his heart, and walked back to the crowd with satisfaction.

Not far away, Tan Zeyuan looked at this scene, and finally showed a smile on his face that had always been pale.

"Not bad."

Dong Haiyang also nodded with satisfaction.

The sixth floor of the keel tower is a key node.

Over the years, as long as you can climb to the sixth layer and persist for more than three minutes, you can basically achieve a level 3 martial artist before graduation!

Liao Quan's performance made him very satisfied.

And this also aroused the competitive spirit of the people.

A group of students are gearing up, holding back their strength to get a good grade.

Unfortunately, in the next few rounds, the best one only climbed to the fifth level.

And it only stayed for less than three minutes.

Far inferior to Liao Quan.

It wasn't until the fourteenth round that the teacher finally read Cheng Siyu's name.

Everyone was in high spirits, and they all turned their heads to look at Cheng Siyu.

But in the next second, Xiao Licheng's name was also read.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, followed by an expression of excitement and anticipation.

Last year's first and second seats were actually placed in the same group!

It's a rare sight!

This round is worth seeing!

Tan Zeyuan and Dong Haiyang were also slightly surprised.

The assessment list is randomly divided.

They didn't know that Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu were put into a group.

But that's fine, you can compare the performance of the two.

With Liao Quan's Zhuyu in front, Tan Zeyuan and Dong Haiyang have begun to look forward to Xiao Licheng's performance.

In the eyes of many excitement and admiration, Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu entered the keel tower one after another.

In just half a minute, the second layer of golden light suddenly lit up.

The text on the stele changed suddenly.

Judging from the time, Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu arrived at the second layer almost at the same time.

There was a low exclamation from the crowd.

Liao Quan's expression froze.

That's about ten seconds faster than him!

But even more shocking is yet to come.

Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu broke through the layers of towers one after another with the momentum of breaking through the towers.

In less than fifteen minutes, the two of them climbed to the sixth floor one after another.

There is only a little more than ten seconds between before and after.

And this result is six or seven minutes faster than Liao Quan.

Looking at the golden light lit up on the sixth layer, Liao Quan's expression was a little stiff.

The spirit of a moment ago is long gone.

He originally thought that he had worked hard to cultivate in the past year, and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

This year's annual assessment will definitely surpass Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu and win the chief position.

But reality slapped him hard!

He can't fail to surpass Xiao Licheng and Cheng Siyu, but the gap with these two is even bigger!

Thinking of this, Liao Quan couldn't help but feel frustrated.

More than ten minutes later.

The entrance gate of the keel tower opened, and Cheng Siyu walked out, with a look of regret.

In the end, she still failed to break through the sixth layer.

At this moment, the seventh floor of the Dragon Bone Tower suddenly lit up with a brilliant golden light.

There was a sudden silence, followed by an uproar.

Xiao Licheng has climbed to the seventh floor!
