I’m injured, but taking you down is still no problem.” Gu Jian Tong’s eyes narrowed, a gleeful smile spreading across his face: “I thought the Hundred Star Exam was boring, but meeting you? Not bad…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, now’s not the time for infighting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a clear voice cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Jingang, Zhong Yuxiu, and others had finally arrived at the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at the corpses littering the ground and the mountain-sized bodies of the demonic servants, their faces grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Lingzhen, wearing goggles and a leather jacket, looked like a tomboy; she stepped between Fang Xing and Gu Jian Tong, having been the one to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah… we should just hold one position and wait for outside rescue…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Jingang dared not face Fang Xing, hiding behind Zhong Yuxiu, speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing valued unobstructed mind, but he wasn’t foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing many examinees had arrived, he dropped his insistence and began examining the teenage bishop’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed a strange piece of cloth in the teenage bishop’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked remarkably similar to the one he had seized from Bai Lian Yi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful—this guy just tried to corrupt me with this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jian Tong crossed his arms but offered a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve interned at the Anti-Corruption Bureau—I know more about demonic artifacts than you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing crouched, studying the dark-gold cloth closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fragment was also incomplete, but far clearer than the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, a crimson sun seemed ready to break free from the cloth, as if the true sun were rising in the real world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, he seemed to see countless violet lights descending, as a scarlet sun rose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar! Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s roar and a tiger’s bellow erupted at once. Fang Xing rubbed his third eye, snapping back to awareness, silently thinking: ‘Far stronger than Bai Lianyi’s version—even affects my spirit. Compared to this “original,” Bai Lianyi’s seems like a mere copy...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given how dangerous this demonic artifact was, he had no intention of studying it further. He rose to toss it to another examinee for safekeeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his awareness swept over his attribute panel, and his heart stirred again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, at the very bottom of the panel, the mark representing the “Gate of All Realms” was faintly glowing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘The Gate of All Realms has finally reacted!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since bringing him to the cultivation world, this Gate of All Realms had remained inert, showing only “charging.” Only now did it finally stir slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could it be... the energy on this cloth is useful to the Gate of All Realms? Could it unlock a second world?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing’s mind filled with speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth, coated his hand in Dragon Scale Elephant Armor, and seized the dark-gold cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, he felt something inexplicable being drawn into his attribute panel’s “Gate of All Realms,” causing its symbol to stabilize instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beyond that, nothing else happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems to help... but not enough...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Should I collect more of these items in the future? Maybe then I can unlock the Gate of All Realms and enter a brand-new world?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought surfaced in his mind. He casually tossed the dark-gold cloth into Song Jingang’s lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Huh? Boss, what are you doing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Jingang instinctively tried to fling the filthy thing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Since this thing is so dangerous, I’m leaving it with you. After all, your family has deep roots...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having absorbed its energy, Fang Xing lost all interest in the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was tied to an outer demonic god and suspected of being contaminated—best to let someone else bear the burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I... I thank you so much.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Jingang burst into tears again, his emotions wildly exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This man... must be Yan Dongxu from Jin Yuan Star. How did he become a demonic cultist?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Lingzhen crouched beside a dead examinee, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Simple. All these examinees are demonic cultists—they launched a coordinated strike from within.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Yuxiu spoke timidly, then turned to Fang Xing: ‘Fang classmate... thank you!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘No need to thank me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing waved his hand and sat cross-legged to one side, feigning recovery while actually observing his attribute panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Name: Fang Xing】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Age: 17】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Profession: Martial Artist】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fourth Realm: Courage (9\u002F200)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Twelve Forms of Military Boxing: 135\u002F200 (Proficient)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Great Dragon Stance: 106\u002F400 (Master)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Subdue Tiger Stance: 11\u002F400 (Master)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ghost God Blade: 34\u002F200 (Proficient)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ultimate Passion Sword: 17\u002F200 (Proficient)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragon Elephant Technique: 36\u002F200 (Proficient)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power: 1\u002F100 (Beginner)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Gate of All Realms (Charging)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘With Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power at beginner level, my combat power increases by one fold.
