Chapter 97

At 9:30 AM, sunlight fell on the ivory-white wall bricks, making the entire Huberian Castle appear incomparably holy.

The Third Round Assessment was about to begin.

And the High Priest of Order Kalvaro was leisurely drinking coffee.

He casually picked up the newspaper beside him.

The Sun is the Ministry of Magic's authoritative newspaper; unlike third-rate tabloids, the news in The Sun is almost all first-hand material gathered by reporters on the front lines, its veracity even exceeding that of the parties who experienced it firsthand.

Once, solely for the sake of the Cherry Blossom Empire's First Heir Prince Noel, who liked the elusive rumor of human-beast relations, a reporter from The Sun personally consumed a Race Transformation Potion, impersonated a female dog, and infiltrated Prince Noel's side.

After a series of twists and turns, this reporter produced a powerful chain of evidence, clearing Prince Noel's name —

The so-called matter of the Prince liking human-beasts was utter nonsense.

What he liked was clearly beast-human!

He was the one on the bottom! Although this report was taken down by review 12 hours after the newspaper went on sale, from that day on, The Sun rose to fame, becoming the most authoritative newspaper on the entire Tianming Continent! And a must-follow toilet read for every issue!

A powerful Item guaranteeing smooth flow for every middle-aged man!

The High Priest of Order Kalvaro was naturally also its loyal reader.

Picking up the newspaper, putting on reading glasses, Kalvaro looked at the front-page headline:

#Legendary Candidate Xiu Si Da Er, first attacked the Chief Examiner in the men's restroom, then cross-dressed as Nan Liang during the exam to engage in entrapment, then triggered the Academy Legend "Three-Faced Monster Ball" wiping out half the candidates, finally put underwear on his head and rushed out of the exam hall! ##This kid, defies heaven! ##Five-Star Critic Mike's evaluation: It's not that he can't take a proper exam, it's that watching the rising Dong Xi is more cost-effective. #Underwear on head?

Academy Legend?

Xiu Si Da Er?

Could it be that Xiu Si Da Er not only split into three, but one of them even put his own underwear on his head and accepted an interview? Hardened, fists hardened.

Flames burned in the High Priest of Order Kalvaro's eyes; he suddenly exerted force, and the Sun in front of him burned to ashes. "Third-rate newspaper, this is TMD absolutely a third-rate newspaper!"

And this eye-catching report spread across the entire Tianming Continent and Abyss Realm in a short time.

With such fame, one supposes when Xiu Si Da Er wakes up and learns of it, he will surely reveal a happy smile. — And on the other side of Huberian Castle, candidates arrived one after another.

A vortex-shaped Teleportation Gate manifested before the candidates.

Stepping through this gate, they would go to the inside of the Third Round Assessment.

World Tree's Gate — this is the name of the Third Round Assessment, and also the collective term for all Secret Realms.

Legend says the World Tree is a coiling spiral giant banyan; on each of its branches hangs a fruit called a "World Bubble".

And the major events that occurred in the Previous Era, even the Era Before the Previous, and even this Current Era, all those that influenced the course of history, are sealed within those "World Bubbles".

The Tianming Continent has many such gates; open one, and you can transmigrate into those histories, witness everything that happened in that history.

And which world, which segment of history awaits them behind that gate, is still unknown.

And whether what these candidates gain from within is Blessing or death, no one can make a definitive judgment.

The Full Moon Queen stood behind the candidates, hands behind her back, looking at the vortex gate with a complex expression; immediately after, she turned her gaze toward the crowd.

Her gaze filtered out almost everyone, leaving only that youth called Li Cheng.

Nearly identical conduct, nearly identical stunning brilliance.

He, and he from ten thousand years ago, are they really just similar? Once the assessment ends and he enters my sect, the answer will naturally be revealed.

The Full Moon Queen wished she could accelerate time, make the exam end directly...
