Chapter 306

"One eighteen-zhang light pillar gets one hundred points, six light pillars get six hundred points!"

Elder Murong Song's voice spread throughout the venue, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Six hundred points!

If Bian Xinjie was one person worth the sum of a martial academy's points, then Lin Chen was one person worth the sum of a country's, or even several countries', points.

"Brother Elder Murong, is this calculation method a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Qiguang frowned and looked at Elder Murong Song. The point rules originally discussed by the several countries did not take into account that there would be multiple light pillars appearing. Facing this situation outside the rules, the decision-making power was in the hands of Yan Guo.

After all, the Soul-Testing Stele is an object of Yan Guo.

Only Yan Guo knows best what multiple light pillars mean.

But hearing the score given by Elder Murong Song, Lu Qiguang's expression sank. In his view, the score Elder Murong Song gave Lin Chen must take into account the feelings of the other countries, especially their Han Guo.

Even if Lin Chen could really get six hundred points, it could also be calculated according to one light pillar.

The decision-making power was in Elder Murong Song's hands. As long as he didn't want to give Lin Chen a high score, Liang Guo's opposition would be useless.

"Brother Lu, the Soul-Testing Stele is just like this. Every additional light pillar represents that the spiritual sense is one time stronger. It is not inappropriate for Lin Chen to get six hundred points."

Elder Murong Song did not change his words. He naturally knew the purpose of Lu Qiguang asking this question, but he had his own ideas.

On this matter, even if it meant offending Han Guo, he would not hesitate.

Lu Qiguang did not expect that Elder Murong Song did not intend to change it, his expression became gloomy, but the next moment he returned to a smile: "Since that's the case, then congratulations to Liang Guo, congratulations to Lin Lin Shidi Hou."

Hou Zhan Tian looked at Elder Murong Song with some surprise. He was also full of doubts in his heart about Elder Murong Song's determination to give Lin Chen six hundred points.

With this situation outside the rules appearing, Elder Murong Song held the final scoring power. Originally, he thought Elder Murong Song would calculate the points for Lin Chen according to the highest height of a single light pillar, or compromise and only count three light pillars.

He didn't expect that under Lu Qiguang's hint, Elder Murong Song actually insisted on giving Lin Chen the highest points.

But no matter why Elder Murong Song was willing to offend Han Guo to give Lin Chen a high score, this was a good thing for Liang Guo.

"Many thanks to Brother Elder Murong for being fair. My Liang Guo has no objections."

As soon as Hou Zhan Tian said this, the powerhouses of the other countries curled their lips in unison. Of course, your Liang Guo has no objections. Lin Chen's score alone crushed their several countries. Even if they didn't participate in the next round of the point competition, the Canglan Martial Academy would definitely be among the top five.

Hiss!

With Elder Murong Song's announcement of Lin Chen's score, the temperature at the scene rose suddenly, and the cold air was sucked away by everyone.

Six hundred points!

This is a value like a natural chasm.

Lin Chen did not stand in front of the stele to wait, but walked back to the Canglan Martial Academy side, accepting the praise of his junior and senior brothers.

Next, disciples continued to come up to test, but most of them failed. In half an hour, all six hundred disciples had finished testing, and in the end, only seventy-six met the standard.

Only ten percent of the disciples met the standard!

"Those who meet the standard can enter the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm. Inside the secret realm, you will encounter soul-attacking soul objects. If you can't hold on, withdraw voluntarily. Do not be brave to avoid hurting your spiritual sense."

After all the disciples had finished testing, Elder Murong Song continued to speak, and his words also made the expressions of Li Yuan and the others become serious again. There is a saying circulating in the nine countries: physical injuries can be healed, but soul injuries are hard to cure.

If the body is injured, there are still elixirs that can heal it. Even for injuries like a severed arm, some precious elixirs can make the injury recover.

But once the spiritual sense is injured, it is very difficult to recover.

All nine countries lack elixirs that heal the spiritual sense. Occasionally, when a few elixirs that heal the spiritual sense appear, they are inevitably hyped up to a sky-high price.

"Entering the secret realm, one hundred breaths as the standard. For every extra breath you persist, you get one more point."

Elder Murong Song promulgated the rules for entering the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm to obtain points, and soon all the disciples of the various martial academies who met the standard walked toward the stone gate of the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm.

This time, Bian Xinjie and the others did not wait until the end, but took the lead in walking toward the stone gate. However, before Bian Xinjie entered the stone gate, he looked at Lin Chen, his eyes carrying an ambiguous look.

"I'm afraid Han Guo will have evil intentions. Lin Lin Shidi, you must be careful in a while."

Li Yuan and the others also saw Bian Xinjie's final look, and at this moment, they reminded Lin Chen in a low voice.

"Mm, I will pay attention."

Lin Chen nodded. He was not afraid of Bian Xinjie making a move on him in the secret realm. Elder Murong Yan had already told him the entire situation in the secret realm.

There is a millstone inside the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm. Whenever the millstone rotates, countless soul objects will appear, and the martial artists who enter the secret realm have to fight with these soul objects.

"Let's go, let's go in too."

Dang Baixuan spoke, and the nine people from Liang Guo, including Lin Chen, also walked toward the stone gate.

"Lin Lin Shidi, you go at the very end."

Li Yuan reminded him, and Dang Baixuan and the others also nodded. Although there is no danger in entering the secret realm, Bian Xinjie and the others went in a step ahead. If there is any conspiracy, they can also hold the line in front.

The few people entered in order. The moment Lin Chen stepped into the secret realm, an exclamation came to his ears.

"What a big millstone!"

The voice came from Li Lin Shixiong Yuan, but Lin Chen looked toward the left side where the voice came from. There was a mist there, and he couldn't see anything.

And in the high sky directly in front of him, stood a red millstone, emitting a strange red halo, just looking at it made one's heart palpitate.

"Li Lin Shixiong?"

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and shouted toward the left.

"Is that Lin Lin Shidi? This place is very unique. I can hear the voice, but I can't see anyone."

Li Yuan's voice came, and there was doubt in his words: "I just walked a few zhang in the direction of Lin Lin Shidi, but I failed to meet Lin Lin Shidi."

"Lin Lin Shixiong, it should be that this cloud and mist is blocking it. It looks like moving forward, but in fact, it is walking in place. This Thousand Illusions Secret Realm has a deceptive effect on our spiritual sense and perception. Li Lin Shixiong doesn't need to waste time looking for me."

Lin Chen explained. Elder Murong Yan had described in the booklet that the mist in the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm is very unique and can confuse people's perception and judgment.

In the mist, it looks like walking, but in fact, it is possible to be walking in place.

"Ghost hitting the wall!"

When he saw the description in the booklet at that time, the first thought that emerged in Lin Chen's mind was, isn't this just a "ghost hitting the wall"?

"So that's how it is, then I can rest assured."

Li Yuan's voice carried relaxation. Lin Chen understood the meaning of Li Lin Shixiong's words. Since the cloud and mist can deceive everyone, then he would not be attacked by martial artists from other countries.

He also wouldn't have to be afraid of Bian Xinjie and the others who came in first plotting to sneak attack him in the dark.

Rumble!

A sudden sound attracted Lin Chen's attention.

The millstone in the high sky in front began to rotate, and a red halo instantly poured out toward the surroundings, rippling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Chen stared at the blood-colored millstone slowly rotating in the sky, his pores quietly opening. When the first circle of red light swept over, he did not condense his energy to protect his body like other martial artists. Back in the ruins of the Qingtian Sect, he understood one point: spiritual sense attacks cannot be resisted by energy.

Hands forming seals, the Qianji Refining God Art was performed.

Mysterious runes lit up around the little person in Lin Chen's dantian, actually drawing the blood-colored halo into his body.

"How nourishing."

Feeling the soul power contained in the halo, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth raised slightly.

He didn't know how others would deal with this halo, but after he performed the Qianji Refining God Art, these red halos were like warm and nourishing spiritual liquid in front of the little person, nourishing the spiritual sense as they flowed along the meridians.

The roar of the millstone's rotation became more and more urgent. Although he couldn't see anyone, Lin Chen heard exclamations and muffled groans. Obviously, many disciples could not withstand the rapid washing of this red halo wave after wave.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm going to withdraw."

A voice of unwillingness came. Lin Chen was very unfamiliar with this voice, so he knew it should be a martial artist from another country.

"How is Lin Lin Shidi?"

Li Yuan's voice came again. Lin Chen said in a deep voice: "Still can withstand it."

More than just being able to withstand it, Lin Chen wished that there could be more of this red halo so that his spiritual sense could absorb more.

One circle, two circles, three circles...

Later, the density of the red halo was like waves, emerging wave after wave.

Lin Chen kept absorbing the red halo and had no time to take care of anything else.

Boom!

After one hundred breaths, Lin Chen felt the surrounding clouds and mist suddenly surge, and the millstone in the high sky where the millstone was originally located suddenly cracked with a red crack, and countless red soul objects floated out from the crack, crazily surging toward the surroundings.

The moment these soul objects surged over, Lin Chen immediately divided his spiritual sense, turning it into nine flying knives, slashing toward these soul objects that were pouncing over.

Swish swish swish!

A wave of dozens of soul objects dissipated under the flying knives, and the nine flying knives flew back to Lin Chen.

"Li Lin Shixiong, how is it?"

After solving the soul objects, Lin Chen asked toward the left, but at this moment there was no echo from Li Lin Shixiong Yuan on the left.

Could it be that Li Lin Shixiong Yuan withdrew?

Lin Chen frowned. If Li Lin Shixiong Yuan withdrew, he should have informed him; it was impossible to leave without saying goodbye.

Soon, Lin Chen discovered that everything around was silent, and this situation was a bit strange.

Previously, he could hear the exclamations and screams of other disciples, but now he couldn't hear them at all. There was only one possibility: the clouds and mist had changed again, and even the sound was isolated.

If he couldn't hear the sound, he couldn't judge the results of others. Lin Chen could only do his best and persist with all his might.

From the cracks in the millstone, soul objects appeared wave after wave, but these soul objects were destroyed by the nine flying knives before they were three zhang away from Lin Chen.

The nine flying knives shuttled back and forth in front of Lin Chen like needles piercing flowers, and at this moment Lin Chen was also immersed in manipulating these spiritual senses, especially in controlling the spiritual sense flying knives to fight with the soul objects, which also made his experience in manipulating spiritual sense constantly improve.

Swish!

After a long time, a sharp light shot out from Lin Chen's eyes, and another flying knife condensed in front of him.

The tenth spiritual sense separation was successful.

"Panel!"

Lin Chen whispered.

【Host: Lin Chen】

【Realm: Ninth Rank】

【Spirit Tier: 3.3】

【Body Forging: 4.3】

Seeing that his Spirit Tier column had changed from the original three tiers to 3.3, Lin Chen knew that his spiritual sense had grown by almost ten percent.

No wonder he could differentiate the tenth spiritual sense.

It seems that after the soul objects in this Thousand Illusions Secret Realm are beheaded, they will be absorbed by himself along with the spiritual sense.

With this judgment, Lin Chen's eyes gradually brightened. This means that the longer he stays in this illusion, the more points he will get, and it will also allow his spiritual sense to grow.

Outside the stone gate.

At this moment, the clouds and mist had dissipated, and the stone gate was clearly visible.

Figures walked out one by one with unwillingness on their faces. These were the ones who couldn't persist for one hundred breaths inside.

"So many people couldn't persist for one hundred breaths?"

When seeing that more than half of the martial artists had already come out before one hundred breaths, there was an uproar at the scene.

This means that in this round, at most only half of the people can get point rewards.

This elimination rate is too high.

"Only ten percent left in the first round, and half eliminated in the second round. Now only the martial artists of Han Guo and Liang Guo are left."

Martial artists from other countries discovered a fact that was hard for them to accept. So far, of the people still inside, the disciples of Han Guo and Liang Guo had already accounted for half.

"If it weren't for the fact that we don't practice spiritual sense much, how could we let Liang Guo take the lead?"

On the Zheng Guo martial artist side, a disciple snorted softly. Their Zheng Guo follows the path of the demon clan bloodline, and they don't have an advantage in spiritual sense.

After one hundred breaths, the speed at which the figures inside the stone gate came out slowed down. Almost every few breaths or even more than ten breaths, a disciple would appear.

After two hundred and fifty breaths.

Li Yuan's figure walked out of the stone gate. His gaze swept toward the surroundings at the first moment. When he saw that there were also two martial artists from Han Guo who had come out, he breathed a sigh of relief. But when he saw that four people from Daliang had already come out, his expression sank again.

The only thing that comforted him was that Lin Lin Shidi had not come out yet.

After three hundred breaths.

Ling Tianhao's figure walked out of the stone gate.

The moment Ling Tianhao came out, he also swept his gaze toward the whole venue like Li Yuan. When he saw that Lin Chen's figure was not at the scene on the Daliang side, his expression sank instantly. And when he looked toward his own country's direction and didn't see Lin Lin Shixiong Bian's figure, he was not surprised. But when he saw that Lin Lin Shidi Lu's figure had also not appeared, his expression became even uglier.

Although he and Lu Chuanning both belonged to Han Guo, his ranking was higher than Lu Chuanning's, but this time he came out earlier than Lu Chuanning, which I'm afraid will cause some criticism.

After five hundred breaths!

When Bian Xinjie's figure walked out of the stone gate, the people at the scene showed a look of disbelief.

Of the three remaining, Lin Chen, Lu Chuanning, and Bian Xinjie, because of the previous round, everyone could accept the fact that Lin Chen had been here for so long. But in their view, the one who came out first should be either Lin Chen or Lu Chuanning; it couldn't be Bian Xinjie.

Bian Xinjie heard the uproar at the scene, and his gaze looked toward the Daliang direction at the first moment. When he saw that Lin Chen was not at the position of the Canglan Martial Academy, his expression sank instantly.

As for why Lin Lin Shidi Lu hadn't come out, he knew very well in his heart what the reason was.

He, a dignified third on the Heavenly Ranking, was actually completely crushed by Lin Chen in spiritual sense. As arrogant as he was, he couldn't accept this result.

"This time the first place is either the Tianque Martial Academy or the Canglan Martial Academy."

"Tianque Martial Academy being first is within expectations, but who could have thought that the Canglan Martial Academy could be mentioned in the same breath as the Tianque Martial Academy this time!"

The disciples of the martial academies of various countries looked at the Canglan Martial Academy side with somewhat complicated eyes.

Of the four martial academies in Liang Guo, the ranking of the Canglan Martial Academy had always been at the bottom. Who could have thought that such a martial academy, which belonged to the bottom in Liang Guo in previous years, would soar into the sky this time.

Vice Dean Chen Shan had an undisguisable smile on his face at this moment. When the dean chose to recruit Lin Chen into the martial academy regardless of everything, this was the wisest choice the Canglan Martial Academy had made in the last hundred years.
