These trees intertwined with one another, eventually forming corridors and hallways, dark within, leading into White Spirit Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the South Wind Academy team, Lin Feng and Xu Shanyue stared at the corridors for a moment before waving to the students behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their voices fell, figures were seen with Resonance Power of various colors rising from their bodies, and they shot forward, charging directly into the corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, students from other academies also swarmed out, and for a moment, the scene appeared extremely boisterous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that silver-robed instructor from the Astral Sage College, he entered the pavilion in the center. Viceroy Shi and the old Dean both nodded slightly toward him and smiled, saying, \"Thank you for your hard work, Instructor An Lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although An Lie was somewhat inferior to them in terms of strength and status, he was, after all, a supervisor sent by the Astral Sage College, so they still accorded him some respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this An Lie could be considered young and promising. Although he was currently only a Silver-Gleam Instructor, he had the potential to be promoted to a Gold-Gleam Instructor; once promoted in the future, he would be a person of some standing in the Great Xia Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Astral Sage College, instructors were divided into three ranks: Silver-Gleam, Gold-Gleam, and Purple-Gleam. It was said that the hard requirement for a Silver-Gleam Instructor was to reach the Earth Fiend General stage, while Gold-Gleam was the Heaven Dipper General stage, and the top-tier Purple-Gleam Instructors needed to reach the Marquis stage. However, purple-robed instructors were extremely rare, even within the deep-rooted Astral Sage College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Lie smiled and returned the courtesy, sitting down to the side, and said, \"Tianshu Prefecture is full of hidden talents; I expect this year’s grand examination will be exceptionally intense. I wonder if South Wind Academy will continue to lead the pack this year, or if a dark horse will emerge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Viceroy Shi nor the old Dean could answer this question; they simply smiled and turned their gaze toward a crystal wall erected in front of them. It was divided into many mirror-like surfaces, onto which light-shadow stones already placed within White Spirit Mountain would transmit images. At the same time, it would display the real-time updated point rankings of all the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the atmosphere outside White Spirit Mountain was boisterous, Li Luo also flowed with the crowd into a corridor formed by intertwined trees. He discovered that as they continued forward, there were more and more forks in the path, as if to divert the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the waves of people were continuously separated, the people around them basically became strangers. However, Li Luo and Zhao Kuo were still together, along with a few other students from South Wind Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This continuous advance lasted for about ten minutes or so before Li Luo and the others finally saw the end of the corridor ahead, where a wooden door appeared before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as they arrived, the tall wooden door slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Zhao Kuo exchanged a glance, then followed the wave of the team and carefully walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last person entered, the wooden door slammed shut, and light bloomed. Then, everyone discovered that this was an extremely spacious hall, built of wood, thick and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone remained quiet, looking around somewhat nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and Zhao Kuo stood on the side, their eyes also scanning their surroundings. According to what the instructor from the Astral Sage College said earlier, they would first encounter two levels of assessment to determine their base points. This place here should be the first level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly was the test?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Luo was wondering, his ears suddenly twitched, and he faintly heard some sounds. Immediately, his gaze fixed sharply on the top of the hall, where he saw two dark holes about a foot wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound was coming from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise quickly became louder and louder, and eventually, everyone noticed it and looked up, watching the two holes vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak, squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone’s gaze, two black torrents suddenly rushed out from the two holes. A piercing sound rang out incessantly; they were actually countless black four-winged bats!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bats were thick and sturdy, the size of a washbasin, with sharp claws and teeth and blood-red eyes, looking quite terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless four-winged bats swarmed into the hall and, without a word, charged toward the students below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students in the hall also hurriedly circulated their Resonance Power, using various means to deal with the impact of the four-winged bats. At this moment, everyone understood that this test was likely about dealing with the attacks of these four-winged bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo also circulated his Resonance Power at this time. He did not dare to let these bats get close, so he used long-range Resonance Power attacks to strike down the approaching bats from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of four-winged bats increased, some students began to scream, because they discovered that once those bats grabbed their bodies, the point crystal plates on their chests would flash red once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let these bats hit your body, or your base points will be lowered!\" someone shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were panicked and wailing, because they had already been hit multiple times; clearly, they would not be able to get many base points in this first round of assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo also suddenly realized, and he immediately moved close to Zhao Kuo, continuously slaughtering the four-winged bats attacking from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the four-winged bats seemed endless, continuously swooping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but howl, \"I can't hold on anymore, I'm exhausted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo’s gaze swept rapidly. He looked at the seemingly endless four-winged bats, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly grabbed Zhao Kuo’s wrist, his figure retreating rapidly to the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't move, don't dispel my Resonance Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said this, then immediately circulated his Resonance Power. A faint flowing light spread over his body and also flowed onto Zhao Kuo’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the flowing light, the figures of Li Luo and Zhao Kuo seemed to gradually fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a mid-grade Resonance Art, Water Shadow Art?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Kuo was stunned when he saw this. He looked at the four-winged bats swooping toward them and couldn't help but say, \"Brother Luo, this is useless. Should we just attack and kill these bats?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo did not speak; on the Resonance Power covering their bodies, a luster seemed to flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Luo didn't reply, Zhao Kuo could only grit his teeth, suppressing the urge to attack and kill the incoming four-winged bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Zhao Kuo waited for the impending attack, he suddenly saw that the four-winged bats that had been charging at them suddenly seemed to have lost their target, stopped in confusion, and finally turned to attack others instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Kuo opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, \"You can play like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found it hard to believe that a mid-grade Water Shadow Art could actually directly bypass the perception of these bats?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down and saw that his own shadow had disappeared, and he said in shock, \"Brother Luo, this Water Shadow Art of yours is a bit perverted; it’s just like the legendary invisibility art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Invisibility art my foot. It’s just using the refraction of water and light to hide us beneath the light. It’s a low-grade sleight of hand; as long as someone concentrates their perception, they will be discovered,\" Li Luo said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s still amazing. I’ve never seen anyone who could cultivate the Water Shadow Art to such a level,\" Zhao Kuo exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo smiled. What he didn't say was that an ordinary Water Shadow Art certainly couldn't do this. He was able to do so because his Water Shadow Art was assisted by Light Resonance Power; only the combination of water and light could make the concealment effect of this \"Water Shadow Art\" so strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't need to attack anymore; just wait here for it to end,\" Li Luo said leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Luo, not only are you handsome, but your brain is also so good. The Astral Sage College really has poor judgment for not specially recruiting you,\" Zhao Kuo said happily, showering him with praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, it’s our alma mater after all, no need to be too harsh on her,\" Li Luo said magnanimously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I never thought you had such a broad mind, Brother Luo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Kuo looked full of admiration, but just as he was taking advantage of the boredom to try and suck up to Brother Luo, he suddenly saw a figure being chased by four-winged bats, jumping up and down, constantly approaching their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Luo, that guy looks a bit familiar,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked over, and the corner of his mouth twitched, because the one being chased and wailing was none other than that rascal Yu Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignore him, pretend we don't see him,\" Li Luo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Yu Lang had a sixth-grade Wind Resonance and was extremely fast; although he was shouting miserably, those four-winged bats hadn't caught up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not right, Brother Luo, this son of a bitch is crashing toward us. Does he know we’re hiding here?\" Zhao Kuo said hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo took a look, and it was true, which couldn't help but give him a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at this moment, as Yu Lang approached, he looked at the direction where Li Luo and the other were hiding with shifty eyes and lowered his voice, saying, \"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, hurry and pull your brother up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo played dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't pull me up, I’ll lead a bunch of bats over and flush you out,\" Yu Lang threatened when he saw no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, Yu Lang, you’re so despicable, you’ll be beaten to death with a club sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A somewhat helpless voice came out, and immediately after, a palm reached out from thin air, grabbed Yu Lang’s arm, and as the light flowed, his figure was also concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four-winged bats that had been charging from behind stopped in confusion again and finally scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1750,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b55cc02fc5b0f5625911677ee2e1ecf980a873b49914608069f8da44548e8cbc","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-51","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-49",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
