Xu Shang, on the other hand, smiled indifferently, not intending to answer Luo Liya's question. He looked at Fu Dongming in the blink of an eye. Wandering Min immediately bit her lips as if she was helpless and embarrassed by his stare.

Luo Liya naturally felt the interaction between the two, and knew that Fu Dongming didn't want others to know of his relationship with Xu Shang. Xu Shang himself was only angered by Luo Liya, and if it wasn't for her, they probably wouldn't even tell anyone.

They tried to hide it, and she hid it for them. She, Luo Liya, had never been a talkative person. All of her attention was focused on cultivating her zhenqi. To her, the most important thing was to raise her level.

They should have already passed the second test, right? Although the results were not satisfactory, when she thought of the final test that would allow them to level up, she felt extremely excited and wanted to fly back to the surface of the River Tooth immediately.

However, Xu Shang did not allow them to do as they pleased.

"It's only the second test, aren't you guys happy too early?" Xu Shang's cool and unhurried voice rang out. Everyone, including Fu Dongming, turned to look at Xu Shang in surprise.

Xu Shang stroked his beard, a look of complacency flashing across his eyes as he turned around to face everyone's burning gaze.

"If I remember correctly, today is the last day of the seven-day period, right?" When he slowly spoke, Luo Liya was the first to recover from her shock and slightly nodded.

There is still one more hurdle. As long as you pass this hurdle, you will be able to use the Zhen Qi stones you obtained this time to soar to a whole new level and pass the Royal Academy's entrance exams. If you fail to do so, you will have no choice but to pack up your bags and leave.

Xu Shang's words were very realistic. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. The fittest lived on, and those who were unwell could only be eliminated. Even if they were his descendants, if they lacked the ability, he would not care about face.

Luo Liya could see these emotions in Xu Shang's eyes. She seemed to understand him a little, why he beat up Fu Dongming. He must have been in high spirits before.

Even though Fu Dongming was River City's handsome dragon, but how big was River City and how big was the Imperial City, Xu Shang would obviously not be satisfied with such a small test.

"Alright, please explain the specific details of the test to us."

Luo Liya was the first to speak. Wu Kong also joined in at the side, "Yes, Teacher, please tell me. As long as I can level up faster, I'm willing to bear any hardships."

At this moment, Wu Kong's mood was almost the same as Luo Liya's. He clearly remembered that Luo Liya saved him.

If he wanted to protect his sister, he would have to become very strong, but right now, he wasn't as strong as that Violet Myrtle. This made him very disappointed, so he wanted to quickly pass the test and become even more powerful.

Xu Shang saw the excitement on their faces and did not feel even the slightest bit of fear, but he actually comforted them in his heart, laughing, "I am now studying a letter and want to hand it over to Fang He, I cannot leave the Cave of Dark Mountain, so I can only rely on your help. But I have a request, you all cannot ride the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix, you can only walk down the mountain and reach the mountain range, you have to deliver my letter within an incense's worth of time, if not, we will not have to meet again."

When Luo Liya heard this, her brows furrowed as she asked her own question, "But how did Teacher determine if we had made it to the Mountain Crossing?"

"I have the Yin Yang Mirror, so I can communicate with Fang He at any time. Don't underestimate this trial, you have to pass through layers of poisonous forests. Also, it is very possible that your efforts will fail.

Xu Shang spoke slowly, but his words didn't have the slightest bit of impatience. Everyone's expression changed as they listened. The Yin Yang Mirror was a medium used by the Royal Academy's teachers to communicate with each other. It was a top-level secret and no one had ever seen the Yin Yang Mirror before. This wasn't the main point.

This was because Xu Shang was controlling the time, and if they were even half an hour late, then it would be easy to talk about Fang He, but Yin Yang Mirror had already reported the situation regarding Fang He to Xu Shang. Right now, they only had one choice, and that was to follow Xu Shang's instructions.

Since Xu Shang had said all he could, he would not answer any of their questions, not even the question about how to get out of this dark cave.

Luo Liya walked at the front, while Wu Kong and Fu Dongming stood on either side of her. Although Fu Dongming was severely injured, he did not give up on the battle for revenge against Wu Kong. Their gazes met in the air.

Zi Ruo and the moon spirit followed behind. This pair was much calmer. Zi Ruo held the moon spirit's hand. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with gentleness.

Luo Liya, on the other hand, ignored the childish games of Wukong and Fu Dongming, and stared ahead with wide open eyes. Although they only had one path to walk, they couldn't rule out the possibility of Xu Shang setting up a roadblock for them.

But regarding this point, Luo Liya was wrong. There were already dangers obstructing the path of the Nether Mountain, he wouldn't be so idle as to cause trouble for her. Those poisonous forests were sufficient to select the most suitable students for the Royal Academy.

They walked out of the cave safely. It was the same view they had when they came in, but the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix that was originally crouching there waiting for them had completely disappeared. It was most likely Xu Shang who took it away.

"What a strict teacher. Does he think that we won't listen to him and sit on the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix?"

There was dissatisfaction written on her forehead. Luo Liya really liked the Scarlet Tailed Phoenix, now that she couldn't see it anymore, her heart must be feeling bad.

Wukong thought to himself. But how could Luo Liya be someone who indulged in pleasure? All her energy was now focused on completing the mission.

"Teacher has his own reasons for doing this. Don't speak ill of Teacher!"

Luo Liya said in a serious manner. When Wu Kong heard her, he immediately drooped his head and answered in a low voice, "I understand."

Hearing that Wu Kong had been taught a lesson by Luo Liya, Fu Dongming's smile immediately blossomed. He walked up to her with a lively look on his face, "Liya, teacher has already started counting down. Let's hurry up and go!"

Hearing this, Luo Liya felt that Fu Dongming's words were reasonable, so she gave Zi Ruo and the moon spirit a meaningful glance, "Everyone, let's go! We must definitely pass this final test, and leave it at the Royal Academy! "

Everyone nodded and walked down from the foggy mountain. The mountain was very high, and without the poisonous forest blocking their way down, it would still take about two incense sticks worth of time.

Everyone had a serious expression on their faces as they focused on the critical situation around them. They couldn't afford to slack off.

They wandered around the mountaintop and finally found the exit. In the southwest area, there was a very narrow path with many vines hanging down from it, and surrounding them were many unknown plants. These plants were not green with life, but black with killing intent.

"Elder sister, are we really going to leave here?" Wu Kong looked at the road before him. Something was not right with his expression.

"Of course, did you just see another path down the mountain?"

Fu Dongming snorted. Because he was injured, his voice was still a bit hoarse.

Wu Kong didn't say anything else. He just stared at Luo Liya as if he was waiting for her reply.

"I also feel that since this is a test, we will definitely go to the most dangerous place. There's no time to lose, let's go." He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass the test, but because the moon spirit had taken a blow on him. She definitely wanted to prove herself, and he didn't want her to be sad.

The mountain was surrounded by a lingering mist. Only from here could the road ahead be clearly seen. All the signs indicated that this was the only exit.

Luo Liya nodded, she also agreed with Zi Ruo's thoughts, "This is the place. Let's go, I'll be the leader."

After all, the path was fraught with danger. She was willing to take the lead. She couldn't wait to find out how many monsters there were in front of her!

However, Wu Kong and Fu Dongming were not willing to let Luo Liya take the risk alone. They both fought to be the first to fight.

"I'll lead the way. I'm not afraid of anything up ahead!"

"Let me do it, I have the experience of going through the poisonous bog!"

"You were injured. I'm afraid you fell before he even got here!"

"I'm not as weak as you!"

As the two of them argued, Luo Liya could not help but feel extremely irritated, her mind was in a mess, she could not help but say in a stern voice, "Alright, alright! Stop arguing! If we waste more time, we won't be able to pass the test. Can't you all work together? I'll be the leader, and Wu Kong and Dong Ming will be protecting the moon spirit in the middle. Zi Ruo's cultivation is the highest, is there a problem behind her? "

Seeing Luo Li Ya's serious expression, Wu Kong and Fu Dong Ming did not want to anger her, so they listened to her. Wu Kong followed behind Luo Li Ya, Moon Spirit followed behind Wu Kong, and Fu Dong Ming followed behind her, with Zi Ruo at the back.

Loria walked up to the path to test it out, summoned her bugs with her mind, and looked straight ahead without moving.

The poisonous bugs with all kinds of shapes, tentacles, and even foaming at the mouth flew over, flying directly in front of Luo Liya. They obeyed their master's orders and quickly started to eat the poisonous grass and vines.

However, they were almost completely annihilated. The disappearance of the vines above them had left Luo Liya very satisfied. After all, she had not used her full strength. Moreover, this place was set up by Xu Shang, so it was naturally not a simple place.

After the bugs disappeared, Luo Liya then walked to the middle of the path, her eyes cautiously looking forward, followed by the four people behind her.

No one said a word. All of their attention was focused on the surrounding poison plants with serious expressions on their faces.

Ah!" This sudden scream caused everyone's heart to thump. Luo Liya immediately turned around. That was a woman's scream. Other than her, there was only the moon spirit.

Just as expected, the blood on Lunar Spirit's white neck was already dripping profusely, and it was also black. Wu Kong and Fu Dongming, who were the closest to her, quickly stepped forward.

"It's a Red Centipede!"

Since the lowest level of poisonous bugs couldn't hurt the others, they chose the moon spirit, which had the weakest resistance.
