Chapter 1373: No, Bro? Ninth Level Trial!

"My lord Mo Sang!"

Seeing the arrival, everyone around bowed in respect.

This Immortal Master in charge of the enrollment ceremony had left a deep impression on them.

"Hmm."

Mo Sang gave a slight nod.

He had originally not planned to come, but the academy's intelligence alerted him.

Xu Jingming's performance on the eighth level was impressive; clearing it shouldn't be an issue, so he came in person.

"My lord Mo Sang, what did you mean just now by 'the Star Abyss Death Trial is different'?"

Yue Ying blinked her eyes, speaking with some confusion.

Besides her, the other new students also turned to look curiously.

"The Star Abyss Death Trial is divided into three difficulty tiers: Starlight Tier, Star Tier, and Cosmic Tier.

Xu Jingming entered the Starlight Tier trial, which has nine levels."

Mo Sang explained with a smile: "The first level requires killing five thousand Starlight Ninth-Stage demonic creatures within one minute.

The second level requires killing ten thousand Starlight Ninth-Stage demonic creatures within one minute.

The third level has no time limit, but requires killing thirty thousand Starlight Ninth-Stage demonic creatures.

The fourth level..."

As Mo Sang spoke, the square gradually fell silent.

The new students' expressions shifted from curiosity to shock, then to complete numbness.

"The seventh level, as Roy said, requires defeating an opponent who masters fundamental and higher laws."

Mo Sang continued, "And this must be done after consecutively clearing the first six levels, with no recovery of elemental energy."

"That's insane?!"

Yue Ying's beautiful eyes widened wide.

She finally understood what Roy meant by "the Star Abyss Death Trial is different."

Yes, Xu Jingming's strength truly surpasses Roy's from the Talent Battle.

But that was when he was completely unharmed!

According to what Mo Sang just said, before entering the seventh level, Xu Jingming still has to kill countless demonic creatures!

If it were her in the Starlight Tier, even with the strength of the sixth level, she'd likely only make it to the fifth.

The energy consumption in the early levels is simply too terrifying.

"Also, let me tell you another piece of news.

Seven months ago, after the new student enrollment ceremony, Xu Jingming once challenged the Star Abyss Death Trial.

But that time, he stopped at the sixth level."

As Mo Sang finished speaking, a chorus of sharp intakes of breath echoed through the square.

Yue Ying, Roy, and others all changed expression slightly.

In seven months, such massive progress means Xu Jingming's strength has certainly grown significantly!

"That guy's already the top of the Starlight Tier—can he still get stronger?"

Someone looked stunned, while another asked in confusion:

"What's so special about the Star Abyss Death Trial? Why does it seem like Xu Jingming's goal is just to clear it?"

"Clearing the Starlight Tier of the Star Abyss Death Trial grants a reward of five hundred thousand points," Mo Sang did not hide it.

"Five hundred thousand points!"

"Whoa! That's equivalent to completing several high-difficulty missions!"

A wave of exclamations erupted around them.

And Mo Sang added immediately:

"Also, Frost Crown Immortal Master's condition for taking a disciple is clearing the Star Abyss Death Trial."

Frost Crown Immortal Master!

Upon hearing this title, the previously noisy scene fell utterly silent.

Having been in Star Dome Academy for several months, they were no longer ignorant newcomers.

They clearly knew that Frost Crown Immortal Master was the strongest among all the Supreme Immortal Masters of Star Dome Academy!

Compared to becoming Frost Crown Immortal Master's disciple, five hundred thousand points meant nothing!

"No wonder Xu Jingming hasn't spread any news about seeking a master these past months.

He's been aiming for Frost Crown Immortal Master all along."

Yue Ying suddenly understood.

Since Lin Ge Immortal Master was the elder ancestor of the Elf Clan, she hadn't bothered to learn the disciple requirements of other Supreme Immortal Masters.

"My lord Mo Sang, you only mentioned up to the seventh level—what's the trial for the eighth level?"

Once they understood Xu Jingming's goal, a new student immediately asked.

"The eighth level requires defeating three opponents who master fundamental and higher laws."

Mo Sang explained with a faint smile.

"Three?! Man, that difficulty is insane!"

"The Star Abyss Death Trial's difficulty is ridiculous."

"True, but no matter what, Xu Jingming probably won't clear it."

"..."

The new students cried out in disbelief, and many let out sighs of relief.

Yue Ying was momentarily stunned—could anyone at the Starlight Rank possibly clear this difficulty?

"Huh?"

At that moment, Mo Sang let out a soft exclamation, then smiled and said:

"Xu Jingming has already cleared the eighth level and is now preparing to challenge the final ninth level."

"What?"

Everyone present froze in shock.

No way, bro—someone actually cleared the eighth level?

"Eighth level trial cleared!"

"Trainee Xu Jingming, you have entered the final trial level—the ninth level!"

Star Abyss Death Realm.

A majestic voice echoed throughout the entire space.

Xu Jingming stood midair, purple demonic energy and dark golden lightning swirling around him.

His formidable body, over three meters tall, was covered in purple scales; in his hand, a long spear slanted toward the ground.

His breathing was slightly labored.

The three opponents in the eighth level each possessed strength comparable to Roy's.

Had he not activated the Purple Nightmare Demon Body, victory would have been impossible.

"Phew, I still have about half my Yuan energy left—should be enough to handle this final level."

Xu Jingming took a deep breath.

The continuous high-intensity battles had been an extreme challenge for him.

Fortunately, he had trained in the trial zone; otherwise, he wouldn't have retained this much Yuan energy.

"I wonder what the ninth level trial will be like."

He gripped his spear tightly, eyes alertly fixed ahead.

Suddenly, the entire black earth began to tremble!

On the distant horizon, a blinding blue Lei Guang shot skyward like a colossal pillar connecting heaven and earth!

"Here it comes!"

Xu Jingming's pupils shrank sharply.

The terrifying pressure within that blue Lei Guang far surpassed any opponent he had faced before!

The Lei Ting gradually faded, revealing a tall, slender figure.

He was a young man clad in blue-green battle armor, his face as cold and sharp as carved stone, his eyes flickering with blue Lei Guang.

Most striking was the blue rune on his forehead, shaped like lightning, radiating an ancient and powerful aura.

"Every trial participant entering the Star Abyss Death Realm.

When entering the ninth level trial, we assign each a counterpart opponent.

And Xu Jingming, your ninth level trial opponent is named Xuan Lei Ting!

He wields the Lightning and Destruction Principles, first tier.

He also possesses the legendary Heavenly Punishment Lei Body bloodline of the Cosmic Human Race!

This bloodline is unmatched at the Starlight Rank—it vanished tens of thousands of years ago!

If you defeat him, you will have successfully cleared the entire Star Abyss Death Realm!"

The majestic voice rang from the sky.

"Heavenly Punishment Lei Body bloodline?"

Xu Jingming's eyes blazed with dark golden Lei Guang; a wild grin curled his lips:

"Let's see just how strong your bloodline really is!!"
