C97

When Lin Tian arrived at the 18th floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, the current Qingzhou Academy was in complete chaos.

In the back mountain of the Azure Continent's academy, a bell rang out. The sound of the bell ringing resounded throughout the entire Azure Continent.

At this moment, all the students, instructors, and deacon elders of the Azure Province were alarmed by the ringing of the bell, and they all ran out to take a look.

The back of the mountain was the restricted area of the Azure Province. Normally, no one would be able to go there, but at this moment, there were countless people rushing from the back, wanting to see what exactly was happening.

At this moment, the back mountain of the Azure Province Academy was where the tombs of the top experts of the Azure Continent's past generations were located.

Of course, there was no lack of past headmasters.

But at this moment, in front of the tomb of the first generation Headmaster of the Azure Province, the ancient bell that stood tall and upright rang out on its own, emitting the "dong, dong, dong" sound from before.

As the bell tolled, the ancient trees beside the tomb began to sway violently, causing rustling sounds to ring out.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. They didn't know why such a scene would suddenly appear.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the big figures within the Azure Province Institute.

All of the important figures were mobilized at this moment.

They too looked at the situation in front of them in shock.

When a supreme elder saw all of this, he couldn't help but have tears running down his cheeks, "Natural phenomenon, awakening the ancestor! My Azure Province's school should have great excitement!"

The many students of the Azure Province Academy were all looking at the Supreme Elder with expressions of disbelief. Ancestor? A great show?

However, at this time, a low voice suddenly came from the depths of the back mountain, "Disperse!"

It was just a simple word, but it was spoken like an imperial edict. No one dared to disobey it, and everyone, including those big shots who had just left the mountain, left in embarrassment. They did not dare to stay any longer.

That person's voice could not be more familiar to the crowd. It was the current headmaster of the Azure Province, Gu Qingyuan.

Currently, the principal of the Azure Province Academy was a strange person. This was a fact that all the students of the Azure Province Academy knew.

This was because the dean had never shown his face in front of everyone, and had always been hiding in the tombs behind the mountains.

It was as if he was guarding the grave of the previous Headmaster.

This was the first time the dean had shown up.

At this moment, Gu Qingyuan sighed softly, "Yunhai, you've indeed taken in a good disciple. To be able to trigger such a strange phenomenon and even awakened the ancient bell, I believe you've come to the eighteenth floor to meet the ancestor."

However, Gu Qingyuan only said these words before he completely quieted down.

At the same time, in Tian Luo Empire's Imperial City, Tian Luo City, the Royal Academy.

Luo Tiannan was still in closed-door training, but he was awoken by the sound of this bell. Luo Tiannan smiled and then said with a low voice: "Good, even the ancient bell was rung, I believe the Qing Province Academy has accepted a great disciple. I will also let the little bastards of my clan train well, but I don't know what kind of monster they are, to be able to ring the ancient bell …"

Tian Luo Kingdom, Lei Zhou, Sword Inquisition.

The Sword Inquisition, as its name implied, was naturally an academy that specialized in the way of the sword. At this moment, a large man with a nose full of alcohol suddenly woke up, seeming to have heard something.

In the next moment, he rubbed his sleepy eyes again, grabbed the wine gourd beside him and gulped a few mouthfuls. Only then did he regain his senses, and shouted to the students outside, "All of you f * cking give me some energy.

However, that big guy turned a deaf ear to him and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, the Azure Province has also received a genius disciple, it's really unbelievable. Fuck, without the Azure Province school's bottom, wouldn't the Sword School be at the bottom? No way, this can't happen."

"However, since it's all for the sake of my Tian Luo Kingdom's recruitment of talents, there should be no reason for us to not have such talents." The man laughed again in a low voice. Then, he picked up the wine gourd and gulped down a lot of wine.

Tian Luo Country, Yue Prefecture, Misty Academy.

The disciples of the Misty Academy were all female, not a single male.

Amongst the Five Great Academies, he could be considered to be one of a kind.

At this moment, the Misty Academy, Emerald Bamboo Peak, was the residence of the academy's dean, Su Qiu Shui.

Su Qiu Shui also seemed to have sensed something at this moment, and after listening carefully for a moment, she suddenly understood and thought to herself, "The ancient bell has sounded, it seems like the Azure Province Academy has recruited a top genius disciple, interesting, interesting. This year's great competition of the five great academies, I hope the Azure Province Academy will have a comeback."

"Pass down the order. From tomorrow onwards, no, from today onwards, all students are to increase their training." Su Qiu Shui's voice held an irresistible tone.

Tian Luo Kingdom, the military base. The army was stationed in the bitter cold lands, in the north of Tian Luo Kingdom, far away from the bustling area.

The tiger and wolf camps were here.

At this moment, the Battalion Commander of the Tiger Wolf Camp was reprimanding the students under him. Suddenly, a knocking sound could be heard from the horizon.

That Battalion Commander was a man with a face full of scars. At this moment, his upper body was bare, and he was showing off his strong muscles.

After a long time, he said, "Qingzhou Academy has been quiet for so many years, but today, we finally heard the ancient bell again. It's quite unbelievable, but this is only fun, otherwise, what's the point of my Tiger Wolf Camp only fighting for first place with the Royal Academy every year?"

With that, he turned around and shouted to a team of elite students that had been selected from all over the world, "What are you all showing me, give me more training!"

At this time, Lin Tian, who was inside the Exquisite Pagoda, absolutely did not expect that because he had rushed to the 18th floor, there would be so many disputes.

Especially those students who were asked to increase their training because of Lin Tian's sudden appearance. The name Lin Tian later became a nightmare for them.

At this time, Lin Tian's mind was still immersed in the last picture of the nightmare.

He was now very worried about the things that the Nightmare Terror had told him before, about why did Yun Huang appear in that situation. After Yun Huang left Lin Tian, what happened to Yun Huang?

Whether that scene was happening or whether it would happen in the future, Lin Tian didn't have a clue. Of course, this was also the thing that made him most frustrated.

The eighteenth floor was empty and devoid of anything.

However, when Lin Tian looked through the window on the tower, he could almost look down on the entire Cyan Plains.

"Brat, you are the first person to reach the top of the Linglong Pagoda. It's been a thousand years." Right at this time, a sigh came from beside Lin Tian's ear.

"Who?" Lin Tian was vigilant. He then turned around and looked. His hand was already gathering surging Essence. He was going to attack in the next moment.

But when he saw the person who spoke, Lin Tian was incomparably shocked.

It was actually a spiritual body?

Currently, in front of Lin Tian was a faint soul form. That soul form was standing in the air above Lin Tian. Currently, it had a warm smile on its face as it smiled at Lin Tian.

"Who are you?" Even so, Lin Tian did not let down his guard.

"I, it's been many years, and it's the first time I heard someone ask my name. Kid, I'm called Xiao Kuangge, have you heard of me?" The spirit body smiled faintly.

"Xiao Kuangge?" Lin Tian immediately thought about it. To him, this name was extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

A moment later, Lin Tian's face was filled with excitement as he looked at the spirit body. He remembered, Xiao Kuangge, wasn't that the name of the first principal of the Azure Province Academy? Could it be that the spirit body in front of him was actually the first principal of the Azure Province Academy, Xiao Kuangge?

"That's right, I am indeed the first headmaster of the Azure Province Academy. This item, the Exquisite Pagoda, is also one of my treasures. My other treasure is the Eternal Bell." Xiao Kuangge faintly said.

"So, the eighteenth level is to challenge you?" Lin Tian slightly froze for a moment and then couldn't help but ask.

"Challenge?" Xiao Kuangge laughed involuntarily: "Brat, you're quite interesting. You actually want to challenge me?"

"What? You don't want to challenge me?" He had fought all the way until now and suddenly didn't need him to fight anymore, which really made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

The first nine levels of the Exquisite Pagoda are a test of one's temperament. In the end, the path of martial arts, one's mentality can be said to be incomparably important. If one's heart of martial arts is not firm and shaky, it will be difficult to achieve great things. Xiao Kuangge slowly spoke, seeming to recall what happened before.

The latter nine levels, from the tenth to the sixteenth, are occupied by demon beasts, and what they test is one's combat strength. Presumably, you also felt it just now, only through continuous combat can one find the flaws in one's martial arts. Only then would one be able to advance bravely and achieve great things. Xiao Kuangge spoke again.

So, the most difficult part is the fifteenth and sixteenth floor. For so many years, I have been paying attention to the disciples of the Exquisite Pagoda, and many of them have fallen on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, but, you must know, they are only missing the last sliver of energy before they are able to break through the clouds. But at the last moment, they chose to give up.

Xiao Kuangge seemed to be thinking back to the past and couldn't help but sigh.

"The 17th level is the nightmare illusions realm. This is a test of endurance. In other words, temptation. The path of martial arts is too enticing. If you can't control it, then you will die without a burial ground."

"After going through these three trials, one can be considered a true genius when reaching the eighteenth floor. You are all extraordinary in terms of temperament, mental fortitude, and strength. In the future, how can you be someone to be trifled with? " As Xiao Kuangge spoke to here, he began to admire Lin Tian more and more.

To be able to go through layers of difficulties and reach the eighteenth floor, it was already proof of Lin Tian's potential. Moreover, this child's temperament and willpower was first-class, and in the past thousand years, this was the first time he had seen such a talent. With enough time, Lin Tian could definitely quickly ascend.
