Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 106

The entire ceiling flipped back over.

— All the candidates from Jialan Academy had left.

The invigilator from Guixu High School opened the water pouch at his side and emptied its contents onto the ground.

The water didn’t splash when it hit the ground but gathered into a round pool.

“All Guixu High School candidates, come here, jump in, quickly!”

The Guixu High School invigilator shouted loudly.

The first candidate bravely jumped in. Before he could surface, the current swept him away.

— He disappeared!

“Quick! Across the current is the Guixu Great Ship, which has an ancient magic barrier that disasters cannot penetrate—don’t hesitate, jump!” the invigilator yelled.

Hearing this, the candidates felt somewhat reassured.

They jumped into the water one after another, leaving the area.

The Xirang High School invigilator strode to the wall and pulled out a painting from his embrace, pasting it there.

The painting depicted a group of lifelike horses, each in a running posture.

“Get on the painting! Quick!”

The invigilator commanded.

The ordinary candidates muttered inwardly.

Nangong Sirui, however, was the first to step forward, walking directly towards the wall.

To the suppressed gasps of many candidates, he didn’t hit the wall but appeared directly inside the painting.

A horse elegantly approached him.

Nangong Sirui flipped onto its back, casually pulled out a folding fan, opened it with a swish, fanned himself, and looked at the crowd outside the painting.

The girls showed admiration and appreciation.

Many boys, however, cursed “neither male nor female” in their hearts.

However, with this demonstration, everyone was no longer afraid.

Shen Ye stepped into the wall, only to find himself in a vast open field.

By then, a beautiful maid had appeared behind Nangong Sirui, vigorously massaging his shoulders and neck.

Another beautiful maid was feeding him water.

Yet another beautiful maid was massaging his legs.

And another beautiful maid was rubbing his hands.

Damn… it…

Shen Ye was already starting to regret being classmates with this guy.

Suddenly.

A wild horse, entirely black except for its four snow-white hooves, galloped closer, snorting as it stopped in front of Shen Ye.

“Hooves Treading Flying Snow.”

Nangong Sirui commented, fanning himself, a hint of envy in his tone.

The black horse with four snow-white hooves stopped in front of Shen Ye and spoke in human tongue:

“Disciple of the Hun Tian Gate?”

“Yes,” said Shen Ye.

“I am the fastest and most stable horse here. You should ride me,” the black horse said.

“Just because I’m a disciple of the Hun Tian Gate?” Shen Ye asked.

“You also defeated the demonic creatures from the outside world, worthy of your title as a Hun Tian Gate disciple!” the black horse said.

Shen Ye mounted the horse, suddenly realizing—

Back in the hall, when he became a disciple of the Hun Tian Gate, those eyes held an inexplicable meaning.

At that moment, Xiao Mengyu also appeared in the painting.

She immediately saw the horse Shen Ye was riding and exclaimed in surprise, “Hooves Treading Flying Snow!”

“What exactly does that phrase mean?” Shen Ye asked in a low voice.

“This horse is very famous. In the spirit world, it possesses various divine abilities and can carry its rider away from all kinds of disasters. It’s a renowned divine horse!” Xiao Mengyu said.

“I still don’t quite understand the spirit world,” Shen Ye sighed.

A steady voice rang out:

“You are in the spirit world right now.”

Shen Ye looked back to see that everyone had mounted their horses.

The invigilator, also on horseback, said nervously:

“Even the gods draw power from the spirit world, so everyone must show reverence in the spirit world—we are merely passing through and will leave soon.”

He pointed in one direction and said, “Everyone, follow me. We will reach the school very soon.”

“Yes!” everyone responded in unison.

The horses began to move.

Soon, everyone left the area covered by the painting and began to gallop across the wilderness.

The invigilator waved his hand, and the painting flew back from not far behind him, falling into his hand before he carefully put it into his pocket.

Shen Ye, riding Feixue, felt as if he was riding a soft mist, and he himself became as light as a swallow, feeling as though he could fly at any moment.

The horse galloped freely, quickly leaving the rest of the group behind.

Then it would slow down, occasionally looking back, waiting for the people behind.

Shen Ye also looked back with it—

And met the gazes of envy, jealousy, and even hatred from the others.

“Was the ancient assessment difficult?”

Xiao Mengyu caught up and asked in a low voice.

“Difficult—I would probably die ten thousand times before I’d have one chance of passing,” Shen Ye said.

“Tell me all about it later.” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Alright,” Shen Ye said.

Xiao Mengyu suddenly drew her Cansnow Sword and thrust it into the void beside her.

Clang!

A crisp sound.

Two swords clashed.

In the void beside her, a gray-skinned Xiao Mengyu appeared.

It was a curse!

Xiao Mengyu swung her sword, engaging it in battle.

At this moment, the horses stopped one after another.

One by one, gray shadows emerged from the candidates’ bodies, attacking them.

Even from the invigilator’s body, another powerful gray shadow emerged.

“Oh no!”

The invigilator shouted loudly, disregarding the gray shadow’s attack, he grabbed it and darted away into the distance.

In a short while.

A series of earth-shattering roars came from afar.

— It seemed his power was too great; if he fought there, he might injure the candidates.

Everyone was caught in a bitter struggle.

After all, these gray shadows were on par with their own strength, and not so easy to dismiss.

“I’ll help you!” Shen Ye said.

He rushed over to help Xiao Mengyu deal with her gray shadow.

With him joining the fight, Xiao Mengyu felt much more at ease and shouted, “I’ll suppress her so she can’t use the Luo Shen Sword Technique! You find your chance—”

The two swords clashed again, intertwined.

Shen Ye appeared behind the gray shadow, pressing both hands onto its back.

Boom!

Thunder震Palm!

The gray shadow took the blow squarely, letting out a wail, and instantly vanished into thin air.

A line of faint micro-text appeared afterwards:

“Thunder vanquishes evil. Your lightning-attribute attack restrains this cursed shadow.”

“Quick, let’s go help others!” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Okay!” Shen Ye said.

They rushed towards Zhang Xiaoyi.

— This formed a three-on-one situation, with one being a Sword Saint, and the other possessing lightning-attributed palm techniques that counteract evil.

After only a few exchanges, the gray shadow was once again broken.

The three rushed non-stop to Guo Yunye’s side, creating a four-on-one situation, and quickly eliminated another gray shadow.

The tides of battle began to turn rapidly.

Until finally, everyone ganged up on Nangong Sirui’s gray shadow, rapidly eliminating it.

Safe!

Everyone cheered.

— Frankly, this curse outbreak was really too dangerous.

In fact, several candidates were almost unable to hold on due to fear, but fortunately, everyone saw that Shen Ye and Xiao Mengyu had already defeated the curse and were continuously rescuing every classmate.

No matter how much they couldn’t hold on, they had to persevere!

They would win!

With this belief, the candidates miraculously survived.

“What about the invigilator?” Zhang Xiaoyi asked.

“Don’t move. That kind of battle is not something you can participate in,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye was about to speak when he suddenly felt a dizzy spell.

Guo Yunye, who was nearby, immediately supported him.

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“Nothing—strange, I feel a bit exhausted and can’t exert any strength,” Shen Ye said.

A beautiful maid by Nangong Sirui’s side walked over and carefully observed Shen Ye.

“Young master, he has experienced too many battles and has now exhausted all his strength. He must rest; he cannot fight,” the maid said.

So that’s how it was.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“None of you go over there, protect Shen Ye. Only Xiao Mengyu and I can lend a hand to the invigilator,” Nangong Sirui said.

“I can’t either,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Nangong Sirui looked at her, surprised.

“I used a powerful skill during the exam earlier and haven’t recovered yet. If I force myself to fight, I might not be able to help and instead become a burden,” Xiao Mengyu admitted truthfully.

“How’s the battle over there?” Nangong Sirui asked.

“Young master, if that invigilator loses to his cursed shadow, none of you will be able to defeat that shadow,” the maid said.

— Everyone would die.

This cannot be.

“You all rest here, I’ll go help!” Nangong Sirui said.

He leaped onto his horse and galloped towards the invigilator at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Mengyu supported Shen Ye, helping him sit on Feixue’s back, and silently traced a few words with her finger.

“If anything goes wrong, you run first.”

Run…

This reminded Shen Ye.

Right.

He couldn’t fight, but the horse carrying him seemed quite strong.

“Feixue, can you help us fight?” Shen Ye asked.

“I cannot fight unless you equip me with some weapons of war, then I can try,” Feixue said.

“Only weapons?”

“Weapons represent your approval for me to go to battle.”

Shen Ye took out the Nightfall Dagger.

Feixue raised its head and bit the hilt of the sword.

In an instant.

A line of faint micro-text appeared:

“The opponent has absorbed the sword technique previously performed with this sword: Taibai.”

“Using this sword technique requires your approval.”

“The current spirit of the spirit world will use your sword technique and your sword. Do you approve?”

“I approve!” Shen Ye said quickly.

“The other party wants to use your lightning power.”

“Give it to it!”

He suddenly felt empty all over.

— A certain power was borrowed by Feixue.

The horse kept accumulating power on the spot, its entire body glowing with an increasingly rich snowy radiance, even enveloping Shen Ye within it.

“Sword Momentum!”

Xiao Mengyu exclaimed.

Yes.

This horse was accumulating immense power for that one sword strike!

Everyone looked at Feixue, then towards the distant battlefield.

— The invigilator and Nangong Sirui were locked in a fierce battle with the evil cursed shadow.

Suddenly.

Feixue glanced at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye knew it was ready, but still couldn’t help but ask:

“Are you sure?”

Feixue nodded.

Shen Ye took a deep breath and loudly declared, “Go!”

Feixue raised its hooves high—

Boom!

The snowy glow floating around its body vibrated and scattered, turning into driving snow in the wind.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Shen Ye, riding Feixue, charged out like a lightning afterimage!
