’This is terrifying!’
A chill ran down Ye Tianling’s spine. He finally realized he had come to the right place—the War Dragon Academy!
If he hadn’t come, it would have probably taken him a long time to realize just how much the world had changed—far beyond his imagination! He also would have never known just how terrifying true geniuses and powerhouses could be!
As Ye Tianling mused, he noticed that Feng Cailuo seemed quite satisfied with Fu Yi’s performance.
"Good. Since the Forbidden Land has opened, I will continue my explanation. Listen closely. Within the Earth Palace, there is a place called the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. This place originates from the Ancestral Dragon Abyss in the Buried Soul Star Domain. It is a land of opportunity, but also a land of death.
All you prodigies, once you make it into the top one thousand, will be eligible to enter the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave!
But you must understand this: for the first three days, only the number of your Dao Rhyme Fragments and your corresponding rank will be displayed, and this ranking will fluctuate. Therefore, being in the top one thousand during this period does not grant you entry into the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave.
Only after three days, once the rankings have stabilized, will a Space Law be activated to open the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. At that time, the top one thousand will have the choice to enter or not!"
"Those who enter and emerge alive will have their number of Dao Rhyme Fragments doubled."
"Once you choose to enter, it’s the same as accepting the rules of a battle to the death. Inside, you have a mere one-in-ten chance of survival; only ten people will emerge alive."
"Of course, you can choose not to enter and simply remain outside for another six days. Anyone still alive after those six days will be considered to have passed the assessment."
"The top one thousand qualifiers will be distributed among ten separate areas within the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. Each area will contain one hundred people, and ultimately, only one from each area will survive."
"The final ten survivors will be ranked based on their performance. Those who object to their ranking may challenge others, but fights to the death are forbidden. As for anyone who defies the rules... I will make sure you experience the horror of the Hidden Dragon Shackles combined with Life Soul Poison!"
Every word from Feng Cailuo’s lips was enough to send shockwaves through the crowd.
The situation was terrifying and almost impossible to comprehend.
’Life Soul Poison, Hidden Dragon Shackles? Them again? It seems the outside world hasn’t just influenced the Soul Burial Starry Sky; the Soul Burial Starry Sky has in turn affected all the Heaven and Earth Laws. I wonder if my Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill can overcome the Hidden Dragon Shackles. As for the Life Soul Poison, I now have a solution for that. I can combine Time Law and Space Law to create Space-Time and strip the poison away.’
Ye Tianling mulled this over, his expression growing incredibly grave.
Events were unfolding far too quickly.
The information Feng Cailuo revealed had caught him completely off guard.
He now understood that his foundation was far from sufficient. He had to accelerate his cultivation speed even further!
"At this point, some of you have surely guessed it. That’s right. The Hidden Dragon Demon Cave is an extension of the First Heaven World of the True Void Divine Realm. It’s what is known as a ’Forbidden Area.’ If you enter, you can undergo a complete metamorphosis, allowing your Three Souls and Seven Spirits to be fully refined! This is an incredibly rare opportunity, so you must seize it!
This is the true reason why so many Saint Sons and Saintesses, Princes and Princesses, and even Divine Sons and Divine Ladies come to our War Dragon Academy."
Each of Feng Cailuo’s statements was more shocking than the last.
This revelation sent the entire crowd into an uproar.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianling sent a direct transmission to Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er. "Once you make it into the top thousand, do not enter the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. Listen to me. There will be other opportunities, and I’ll help you transform later. This assessment is brutal!"
His tone was grave, almost a command.
Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er were taken aback for a moment, but then they agreed to Ye Tianling’s demand without hesitation.
They knew that if Ye Tianling had made such a judgment, then even if they could make it into the top thousand, the path would be fraught with peril.
"Alright, that is all. Now, let me get acquainted with some of you so-called peerless prodigies."
"Ji Yun of the Ji Family."
Feng Cailuo said flatly, her tone chilling.
Upon hearing his name, Ji Yun stepped forward defiantly. He didn’t respond, merely staring coldly at Feng Cailuo.
"You don’t know how to show respect? I’ll teach you some manners on Ji Kun’s behalf."
"Kneel!"
"THUMP—"
Feng Cailuo’s gaze hardened. Ji Yun trembled, all his Guardian Foundations shattering instantly. With a loud THUD, he was forced to his knees.
The sight stunned everyone present.
Even Ye Tianling couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
’Damn it, how can this woman be so strong?!’
This Ji Yun possessed a foundation from two Worlds, had reached the Nine Transformations of Sword Void Realm, wielded the Nine Forbidden Battle Technique, and his Guardian defenses were absurdly powerful.
Even Ye Tianling wasn’t completely confident he could defeat someone like that, yet such a formidable figure had been brought to his knees by a single glance from Feng Cailuo.
Feng Cailuo’s words also sent a jolt through Ye Tianling. ’Teach you some manners on Ji Kun’s behalf?’
’What does that mean? Could Feng Cailuo’s standing be on par with a peerless Law Enforcer like Ji Kun, or other supreme beings like Feng Chaoge?’
’Could it be? Are those Law Enforcers, those so-called Venerables, actually true Daoist Ancestors who have bridged two Worlds and achieved Perfection of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits? Holy crap...’
As this realization dawned on Ye Tianling, his expression turned grim.
Ji Yun’s face was now deathly pale.
He was seething with defiance, wanting to use his trump cards to forcibly execute Sword Ancestor Feng Cailuo.
"I’d advise against it. Ji Xing of your Ji Family has already died once, and his Primordial Qi is now greatly damaged. Even Ji Kun and Ji Shang have to respectfully address me as ’Cailuo Fairy’! Who do you think you are?! By comparison, Yao Meng’Er is in a completely different league!"
Feng Cailuo’s words instantly transformed the baleful glare in Ji Yun’s eyes into terror.
Disbelief filled Ji Yun’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by profound awe, apprehension, and even terror.
"THUD! THUD! THUD!"
Without a word, Ji Yun earnestly kowtowed three times, sending another wave of shock through the crowd.
The other prodigies, many of whom had been just as arrogant, immediately swallowed their pride, not daring to show the slightest hint of insolence.
"Hmph. You know how to read the room. I was planning to make an example out of someone to set a proper precedent for the War Dragon Academy!"
Feng Cailuo said coolly, her gaze sweeping lightly over Ye Tianling.
This remark made Ye Tianling breathe a silent sigh of relief. ’Thankfully, I at least offered her a cupped-fist salute before. It may have been perfunctory, but at least it wasn’t completely dismissive.’
’Who knew that would be enough to avoid a disaster.’
’This woman is so vicious,’ Ye Tianling mused. ’I wonder if she’s just as fiery in bed. Damn.’
The very instant that thought crossed his mind, he felt a piercingly cold gaze shoot toward him.
