"The king can be at ease now, Lin Tian that brat is fine …" Gu Qingyuan examined him once more before turning back to the king, "I've already sensed his aura."

"Hmm?" The king was slightly startled, but immediately began to check the aura on Lin Tian's body.

Needless to say, he really did sense the aura on Lin Tian's body.

"Good, it's good that the boy is fine …" The king was overjoyed.

On the side, Jian Chi, Su Qiushui, and Wang Zhan had all heard the conversation between the king and Gu Qingyuan.

They were all a little curious about who the "brat" they were referring to was to actually make the king worry so much. Not only that, he even made the king say that if something were to happen to that brat, he would directly smack the heads of the four branch academies to death …

This immediately aroused their great curiosity. Could it be that a newly entered student was not even worth the headmasters of the four branches?

Who was that kid?

Yang Qingtian's group of four, with Lin Tian's group of four, quickly charged out.

Personally seeing that Lin Tian was innocent was enough to let the king's heart completely calm down.

Without wasting any time, the king opened his mouth and asked Lin Tian and the others what had happened in the Withering Bloom Swamp.

Lin Tian then told the king and a few others about what he had just said, but this time, it was even more detailed …

The king's gaze swept across the three of them.

The three of them nodded their heads once more.

"Strange..." This time, before the king could say anything, the sword fanatic spoke again, "Geez, I've never heard of the Vampiric Demonic Vine disappearing on its own accord. Strange, strange …"

Su Qiu Shui and Wang Zhan also frowned slightly. They couldn't understand how such a situation could have occurred.

Fierce beasts like the Vampiric Demonic Vine were one of the huge monsters of the Ancient Era. They would absolutely not disappear for no reason. Some things they did not know even happened in the Withering Bloom Swamp.

However, these people were not speaking the truth, so they had no way to judge …

The king also felt that this matter was not that simple. In addition, he already had a certain understanding of Lin Tian.

If anyone else had a way to deal with the Vampiric Demonic Vine, the king would never doubt it.

He had seen Lin Tian's methods with his own eyes. Before, he thought that it was impossible, but Lin Tian had done it and this made the king naturally not dare to look down on Lin Tian …

But if it was said that Lin Tian had a way to deal with the Vampiric Demonic Vine, the king was still a little unwilling to believe it.

How was this possible?

The Vampiric Demonic Vine was an ancient monster. Not to mention him, even if everyone present attacked together, they wouldn't be able to get rid of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. If Lin Tian really could get rid of the Vampiric Demonic Vine, what would happen?

However, when Lin Tian said that the Vampiric Demonic Vine had naturally disappeared, the king did not quite believe him.

The king knew that it was very difficult to cut off the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. At that time, when the entire Sky Dragon Continent erupted with chaos caused by the Vampiric Demonic Vine, even the most powerful experts and ancient experts had to pay a heavy price to kill the mother root of the Vampiric Demonic Vine. Even some of them had to die because the Vampiric Demonic Vine had to die …

"Amongst the four of you, who will be in charge of the next round?" The king turned his head to look at Yang Qingtian's group of four.

Nangong Shi immediately stood forward and said, "Reporting to the king, the next head is me …"

"Alright, tidy up the new students and calm their emotions before starting the preparation for the second round." the king ordered.

Then, the king said to the other three, "The disaster of the Vampiric Demonic Vine was caused by you three, so from now on, I want all of you to bring me a piece of news regarding the Vampiric Demonic Vine, no matter what methods you use, even if you have to dig three feet deep into the ground or search the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The three of them immediately responded.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Scram!" The king roared at the three of them once again.

The three of them immediately rushed back into the swamp, continuing to search for the Vampiric Demonic Vine.

After all of this was done, the king did not say much. He only said indifferently, "The Freshmen Rites will continue. According to the original plan …"

Nan Gong did not dare to neglect it at all, he immediately answered: "Yes!"

Lin Tian, Gu Yan'er, and Fang Xing returned to the ranks of the new students.

However, the number of new students had decreased to only a few dozen.

There were over a hundred experts who had participated in this Freshmen Rites. But now, there were only fifty or sixty of them left.

Lin Tian lightly sighed once again and his spiritual will faintly moved. Afterwards, he felt the little grass on his soul.

At this time, Little Grass had already fallen into a deep sleep. Lin Tian looked at the grass with a complicated gaze. Right now, there was already another secret within his body.

Moreover, this secret was still unleaked. Once it was leaked, Lin Tian would naturally know what the consequences would be.

Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Tian did not know whether it was good or bad that he had subdued the Vampiric Demonic Vine. He was afraid that one day, if the Vampiric Demonic Vine counterattacked, he would be the first one to suffer.

Signing a contract with the Vampiric Vine was actually just trying to get something out of it. No one knew what would happen in the end …

However, he still shook his head vigorously and cast aside those thoughts in his mind.

Next, I have to properly deal with the second round of the competition before me …

At the same time, Nan Gong Shi announced the rules of the second round.

"It's very simple. The second round is a test of your soul and physical strength!" Nangong Zi said roughly.

The reason for the first round of the examination earlier was to assess his endurance, conviction, and the control of his Origin Energy that had been suppressed.

The second round of the examination involved the soul and the strength of the fleshly body, which was not a surprise. Cultivators usually had to train in all aspects of martial arts.

But, it was a pity. Actually, the good first round of the examination was destroyed by the Vampiric Demonic Vine …

However, he should not worry about him now. This was because the upcoming trials would be carried out on the arena that he had built earlier.

At this moment, the surroundings were filled with ultimate experts. It was likely that there would never be a situation like the one that occurred in the first round of the examination …
