The next day, Ning Luo woke up early.
Today was the day to enter Demon War Palace for the second sect entrance exam. The time was set for early morning.
Little Meng ran out at an unknown time, and only after Ning Luo had washed up did she bounce back to the inn with Little Gold in tow.
"Little Meng, you're being naughty again!"
Ning Luo was very worried and was about to go out and find Xiao Meng when she saw her jump in.
Because this period of time was the day that the Ten Thousand Devil Sect would recruit new disciples, all sorts of characters from the city had gathered here. Their eyes were filled with mixed emotions and were very complicated.
If Little Meng was targeted, it would be very troublesome.
"Big brother, I won't do it in the future, don't be angry!"
Seeing that Ning Luo was angry, Xiao Meng quickly admitted her wrongs, but she didn't tell Ning Luo that she went out early in the morning to place her bet.
After breakfast, Ning Luo didn't care about how coquettish Little Meng was. She threw Little Gold and Little Gold into the ring without saying anything. She decided to let them stay inside for a few days until the exam was over.
The War Demon Palace was located on the east side of the city, which was a very grand and magnificent place. It was the iconic structure of the city.
After the exam of the first day, out of the tens of thousands of exam candidates, only over a hundred people came to the War Demon Palace to participate in the second exam.
The other exam candidates had all been eliminated. It could only be described as cruel.
Amongst these hundred or so people, the senior examinees were impressively among them.
"Look!" "That kid called Ning Luo is here."
Hearing his companion's reminder, Cai Tianyu turned around and saw Ning Luo walking into the Hall at a leisurely pace.
Others might not recognize him, but they, who just happened to be watching him walk into the assessment formation yesterday, could not forget that it was this new examinee who had stolen their limelight.
Originally, their results had been quite good, all of them surpassing last year's first place position. There were a large number of people who were far from being able to match up to them.
However, with Ning being the first to fall, their outstanding results were completely unworthy of mention.
Ning Luo suddenly noticed that someone was blocking his way. He raised his head in puzzlement, but found himself surrounded by a few people. His brows immediately creased.
"What are you guys doing?"
He wasn't stupid, and could see the obvious displeasure on the faces of Cai Tianyu and the others. Clearly, they had come with ill intentions.
"Brat, I don't know what method you used yesterday. However, you won't be so lucky in today's assessment. "
Cai Tianyu believed that Ning Luo must have had some sort of mysterious method that would allow him to successfully break through the formation in such a short amount of time.
However, today's War Demon Test was a head-on clash. It was impossible for the examinees to use any methods.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that Cai Tianyu and the others were surrounding Ning Luo, Elder Vast Expanse shouted loudly.
"Um, Elder, we just know Ning Luo, that's all."
After saying this, they all left one by one.
How could Elder Vast Expanse not know about the thoughts of Cai Tianyu and the others? However, he didn't want to pursue the matter further, he also wanted to see if Ning Luo would bring another pleasant surprise today.
His gaze swept across everyone one by one. After confirming that all the exam candidates were present and that no one was pretending, he began to explain the rules of the Fighting Demon assessment to the exam candidates.
In contrast to the powerful array formations, the War Demon Palace wanted the exam candidates to stay in there as long as possible.
However, the more time passed, the higher the score. This was also related to the number of Huanmo devils he had killed.
If the number of Huanmo devils killed was zero, then it meant that no matter how long one stayed in there, there would be no results.
In other words, whoever could kill the most Huanmo would have the best result.
This was also to prevent the exam candidates from taking advantage of each other, and to ensure that they would be able to stay away for a longer period of time, which was why Cai Tianyu said that the Demon Fighting Exam was a head-on battle and that there was no possibility of using any methods at all.
Each examinee would enter a Illusory Demon Formation and take the test alone. They would not disturb each other and would not help each other.
The Illusory Demon Array was divided into the Demon Soldier Array and the Demon General Array.
As the name implied, the illusions in the Demon Weapon Formation were all Demon Soldiers, and their strength was equivalent to a cultivator in the Dharma Idol Realm.
But within the Demon General Array, all were Demon Generals' illusions. Their combat strength had reached the Heavenly Transformation Stage, and their small realms ranged from the early stages to perfection.
As the number of kills increased, the combat power would also increase.
Of course, the result of killing an illusion demon soldier was different from killing an illusion demon general.
If the small realm was the early stage, killing a Demon General was the same as killing three Demon Soldiers. As the small realm increased, the number of Demon Soldiers would also increase.
For example, killing a Demon General who had the strength of a late stage sky of the Dharma realm was equivalent to killing nine Demon Soldiers who had the strength of late stage Dharma Idol.
However, because they were beheaded to the end, the illusions within the Demon General Array would have terrifying battle prowess. In the past, almost no examinee would choose the Demon General Array.
After all, most of the candidates' realms were below the Dharma Idol level. Occasionally, a few of them would even reach the Dharma Idol level, but that was only for the early stages of the Dharma Idol realm.
This year was no exception. Amongst the hundred or so examinees, the one with the highest cultivation base was Cai Tianyu, who had reached the early stage of the Heavenly Law Palace.
Therefore, Elder Vast Expanse had only mentioned the Demon General Array in passing, and did not elaborate further.
Only when Ning Luo asked did Elder Vast Expanse give a general idea of the difference between the Demon General Formation and the Demon Soldier Formation. However, he felt that Ning Luo was merely asking out of curiosity.
On the other hand, Cai Tianyu didn't think that Ning Luo really intended to choose the Demon General Array. He believed that he was just trying to show off his skills by asking this question.
"Alright, if you have no questions then prepare to enter the Illusory Demon Array. The assessment is about to begin."
Hearing this, the hundred or so examinees did not dare to hesitate and quickly chose a Demon Weapon Formation. They stood before the formation gate and waited for Elder Vast Expanse's order to enter.
There was only one person who stood still and did not move, as if he was hesitating about something.
This person was none other than Ning Luo.
"Elder, is this the Demon General Array?" Ning Luo didn't follow Elder Vast Expanse's instructions and instead looked in the other direction, towards Cai Tianyu and the others.
When Elder Vast Expanse heard Ning Luo's words, he was stunned. He nodded and asked, "Ning Luo, are you planning to choose the Demon General Formation?"
There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
Ning Luo nodded and replied, "Yes, elder. Is that alright?"
"You can. However, your cultivation is only at the late stage of the Dharma Idol. The illusions in the Demon General Formation have the lowest combat strength, which is also at the early stage of the Dharma realm. Moreover, many of them are at the mid or late stage of the Dharma realm." Are you sure you want to choose the Demon General's Formation? "
Ning Luo didn't even think before he replied with absolute certainty, "Yes, Elder, I choose the Demon General Formation."
When these words were spoken, the entire audience burst into an uproar.
The examinees, who thought Ning Luo was joking earlier, were all so shocked that their mouths gaped open, but they couldn't speak a single word.
