C246 Climbing the Ancient Tower

The Principal of the Outer Academy announced the new assessment rules. The fifty people in front of him would climb the ancient pagoda, and from the highest level of the ancient pagoda, they would go down to the top ten. These ten people would advance to the top ten, becoming the top ten of the Freshmen Competition.

After that, the ten of them will proceed with the rest of the assessment, and the top four will enter the second round, and now no one knows what the second round will be, since only the top ten will be able to obtain a rich Rewards, so the top four will be much better.

After which, he appeared in front of an ancient pagoda, which was the one that had to be climbed during this examination. As Lingyang Tengyu looked at the ancient pagoda, a desolate aura diffused outwards from it.

"This ancient tower should also be a divine artifact from the Ancient Era." Lingyang Tengyu muttered to himself, then looked at the ancient tower with a hint of interest. He had never heard of this ancient tower before, and it was likely that only the students of the Inner Academy knew of its existence.

Currently, only the last fifty people had appeared in front of the ancient pagoda. Xin Yuxi and Lin Xiaoqing were also present, but Xiao Hongxia, Wu Shan and Yu Bao had already been eliminated. Even though they were also initial stage initial stage Honored Spirit Master, it was normal for them to fail since their control of the Secrets was not as strong as theirs.

Xiao Hongxia was a bit stronger than Wu Shan, and she had just trained in a secret technique, so she did not succeed, otherwise, with her talent, she would have been able to enter the top fifty. There was no doubt about that, but the Freshmen Competition also had its elements of luck, so if she did not enter the top fifty, she could not blame anyone else.

Old Bai stood at the very front, followed by Wai Yuanyuanzhangguanqingde, the two Vice Presidents, and finally the four Elders.

Old Bai smiled gently and said: "This is the inner courtyard's Sword Spirit Mountain. The ancient pagoda is located on top of the Sword Spirit Mountain. However, normally, only the top thirty ranks of the inner courtyard have the qualification to climb the ancient pagoda."

Immediately, a light flashed on the arena and a mirror appeared. Within the mirror, the figure of an ancient tower appeared and the other new students were able to see the situation within the ancient tower through the mirror. At the same time, they also knew who had climbed up to what level of the ancient tower.

"Originally, you do not have the qualifications to climb the ancient pagoda, but seeing that your talents are all not bad, I have made an exception and gave you the chance to climb the ancient pagoda. Furthermore, I have to remind you that every floor in the ancient pagoda has a test, and only after passing the test can you enter the next floor," Old Bai said indifferently.

It was fine to lie to others with Old Bai's words, but it was not enough to lie to him. This was because from the words and actions of the Principal of the Outer Academy, it could be seen that Old Bai's strength was unfathomable. He was also a heavyweight existence in the Heavenly Sword Academy, and he had seen countless geniuses.

Old Bai had been secretly observing Lingyang Tengyu the entire time. As if he had noticed the suspicion in Lingyang Tengyu's eyes, he immediately transmitted his voice, "Little fellow, there's no need to think so much into this. This old man has my eyes on your talent and hopes that you can climb to the sixth or even the seventh floor.

Lingyang Tengyu revealed an astonished expression as he looked at the white-haired old man without leaving a trace, before nodding his head.

"If you can enter the sixth floor, this old man can give you a Superior Secret Method to cultivate in, and one of the stronger ones amongst the higher-ups." Old Bai continued to send a sound transmission, paused for a moment, then continued: "If you can enter the seventh floor, then I can give you a The Secret Method of the Spirit Level to cultivate in."

Lingyang Tengyu revealed an interested expression, he then nodded his head. Actually, even without Old Bai saying anything, he would still go to seventh level of the ancient pagoda to see what was there, but he did not know if he would be able to reach seventh level of the ancient pagoda.

"Alright, let's enter the ancient pagoda next." Old Bai laughed softly, and then, everyone looked at each other for a while, before rushing towards the ancient pagoda. Lingyang Tengyu and Xin Yuxi were slightly behind Old Bai, and the moment Lingyang Tengyu passed by him, he smiled at him.

Then, Lingyang Tengyu and the others rushed into the ancient tower. Old Bai watched Lingyang Tengyu's leaving figure and said with a chuckle, "I hope this little fellow will not disappoint me. Moreover, this old man also wants to see how monstrous the young master of the Ancient Lingyang Clan is."

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking why Bai Lao would want to change the content of the Freshman Competition's assessment. Turns out that he wanted to see Lingyang Tengyu's Inherent Skill, but truthfully, he was also somewhat curious about Lingyang Tengyu's Inherent Skill.

The ancient pagoda was an ancient existence. It could be matched to different opponents depending on each person's aptitude. The stronger the talent, the stronger the opponent. However, the opponent here was not a human but a demonic beast.

Lingyang Tengyu and the others entered the ancient tower, and the surrounding people disappeared. Everyone would be teleported to different places based on their talent, and Lingyang Tengyu was the only one here with no one else.

"Interesting, just this desolate aura is enough to show that the ancient pagoda is extraordinary." Lingyang Tengyu smiled faintly as he felt the ancient and mysterious desolate aura that was coming from the shop.

Right at this moment, a huge black tiger appeared in front of him. This was an Ancient Divine Beast, but Lingyang Tengyu knew that this was not a real Celestial Tiger, but rather someone formed it with a great ability.

His terrifying divine beast's coercion was not something that ordinary people could handle, but Lingyang Tengyu did not have much of an impact, because his Stellar Bloodline was an extremely high level bloodline, and the amount of bloodline power that could compete with the Stellar Bloodline was extremely few.

"Looks like there's going to be another fight," Lingyang Tengyu revealed a helpless look on his face. Then, he gently swung his palm, and a few stars flashed behind him.

"Astral Thunder Art — Star Thunder Sky Splitting Seal!"

In the blink of an eye, Lingyang Tengyu had used a powerful Secret Skill.

At the same time, the Celestial Tiger also looked at Lingyang Tengyu, its eyes filled with tyrannical light.

The tiger wings flickered with a sharp light and even space itself could be cut apart. After which, the tiger wings collided with the Star Lightning Imprint with a loud bang.

BOOM!

With a loud noise, the Celestial Tiger dissipated, leaving behind a bottle of fresh red blood and a black colored rod.

"It's actually the Celestial Tiger's blood." Lingyang Tengyu revealed a shocked expression. He obviously did not expect to obtain the Celestial Tiger's blood after defeating the Celestial Tiger.

As for the black rod, when Lingyang Tengyu grabbed it in his hand, he immediately felt a tyrannical power surging forth. This was actually a Top Level Xuan Artifacts, he never thought that the first stage of the Ancient Pagoda would be filled with Top Level Xuan Artifacts.

"Dark Sky Rod, Top Level Xuan Artifacts", Lingyang Tengyu withdrew it back into the Sky Breaking Bracelet and looked at the door of light in front of it, revealing a happy expression. There was a Top Level Xuan Artifacts on the first floor of the ancient tower, so there would definitely be a quasi-holy instrument and a true saint artifact.

It was as if he could see through the ancient pagoda and directly saw the person inside. At this moment, he exclaimed in astonishment, "He broke through the first level of the test so quickly. Back then, even that little girl Mo Rou took half an incense's time to pass.

Mo Rou was naturally Ling Yangmorou, and Old Bai was very clear about Ling Yangmorou's identity. At the same time, he also knew Lingyang Tengyu's father, Ling Yangmochen, who was also here at the time for the Heavenly Sword Academy to gain experience, and at that time, Old Bai was one of the three Old Elders of the Heavenly Sword Academy.
