Chapter Index

    Nine Babies observed silently for a while, then couldn’t hold back.

    It took a deep breath—

    Nine mouths simultaneously spewed out pillars of fire, sweeping across the water towards Shen Ye.

    “I can’t dodge this.”

    Big Skeleton shouted.

    Shen Ye threw the wooden beam with all his might.

    In an instant.

    Nine pillars of fire chased the wooden beam to the other side of the hall.

    “Quick! Row, quick!”

    Shen Ye urged.

    The Skeleton Turtle frantically paddled in the water, and its speed finally picked up.

    Unexpectedly, one of the Nine Babies’ nine heads broke free from the wooden beam’s tug, sharply turned, and looked at Shen Ye.

    It took a deep breath and sprayed flames at Shen Ye.

    Seeing the unfavorable situation, Shen Ye ran two steps on the turtle shell, jumped high into the air, and performed a bicycle kick—

    Frost Bite!

    The pillar of fire was kicked away by him, changed direction, and turned into countless water vapor in mid-air.

    “Your kick has the power of frost, which happens to counteract it—it’s a pity it’s not enough. If your skill were several levels higher, you might have directly extinguished its fire.”

    The Skeleton Turtle said.

    “No choice, I only learned this move two days ago,” Shen Ye replied.

    He looked down at his shoes.

    His sneakers were burned away, revealing his bare feet.

    —Thankfully, his feet were still there.

    Taking advantage of this moment, the Skeleton Turtle paddled frantically, swimming faster and faster, not far from the door.

    “Come on! Victory is in sight!” Shen Ye said.

    “No… damn it, don’t look at me, look at the enemy!” The Skeleton Turtle moaned.

    Shen Ye instinctively looked back, only to see all nine of Nine Babies’ heads staring at him.

    They were taking deep breaths.

    Based on previous experience, Shen Ye roughly estimated that he wouldn’t have time to enter that door.

    The nine pillars of fire would arrive early, incinerating him and the turtle.

    “Skeleton King—speed up!”

    Shen Ye shouted.

    “I’m going this fast, I’m already at full power!” The Skeleton Turtle shouted back while desperately paddling.

    “It’s fine, leave it to me later,” Shen Ye said.

    At this moment, he stopped looking at Nine Babies and instead stared into the boiling waves.

    That wooden beam—

    He had found it with great difficulty, could it still provide assistance now?

    If not, he should at least take it with him to escape.

    “Hey! If you’re out of strength, don’t block for me anymore, come back quickly, I’ll take you with me to escape!”

    He shouted loudly.

    Nine Babies suddenly let out a fierce roar.

    Blazing fire illuminated the entire hall.

    —Nine Babies clearly understood human speech. Upon hearing this小子 dared to speak of escaping in front of it, it immediately gathered stronger fire elements around itself.

    It was about to breathe fire!

    Shen Ye put all his attribute points into agility.

    —20.1 agility!

    The requirement for entering a key high school after junior high was 1-3 points.

    This value completely exceeded junior high school standards, and even many professionals couldn’t reach it!

    “Let’s go!”

    Shen Ye shouted, accelerating his run on the turtle shell, going faster and faster—

    Nine pillars of fire came from the depths of the hall.

    He leaped high, jumping out of the turtle shell, and shouted:

    “Come!”

    The Skeleton Turtle shivered, transforming back into a skull, and was absorbed into the ring.

    Shen Ye leaped seven or eight meters, kicked the boiling water surface with one foot—

    Frost Bite!

    The water surface immediately froze into a floating ice floe.

    Borrowing the force from the ice floe, his body dissolved into seven or eight stream-like illusions, dispersing in all directions under the reflection of the flood.

    This scene was like moon shadows scattered on the water.

    —He pushed his Flowing Moon Body Technique to the extreme!

    Among the seven or eight figures, only one was real—

    Shen Ye spun several times in mid-air, then kicked the water surface again, flying forward.

    “Fire! The fire is coming! Be careful!”

    Big Skeleton’s frantic voice echoed in his ears.

    Shen Ye leaped into the air, his feet emitting chilling frost, continuously performing spinning kicks against the nine pillars of fire.

    Ice and fire scattered, and mist surged.

    He exerted all his strength to unleash Frost Bite, kicking like lightning, quickly scattering four pillars of fire—

    Five left!

    There was no way to deal with them all!

    “We’re going to die!” Big Skeleton suddenly calmed down, speaking with a touch of melancholy.

    The pillars of fire reached them—

    Shen Ye suddenly roared:

    “You want to die? I certainly don’t!”

    He reached out and pushed into the void, immediately opening a door.

    The shockwave from the pillars of fire blew him away, but three pillars of fire surged into the door.

    The remaining two swept towards him.

    Shen Ye’s feet could no longer exert force, so he mustered all his strength and threw a palm strike.

    Thunderclap Palm.

    Boom!

    Thunder and fire collided, erupting in a destructive roar.

    Using this force, Shen Ye’s feet lightly tapped the water surface repeatedly, finally delivering another kick.

    Frost Bite!

    The last pillar of fire was instantly kicked into a thousand frosty white mists and ten thousand crimson lights.

    The nine pillars of fire had been neutralized by him!

    Thud.

    Shen Ye landed in front of the door marked with cloud patterns.

    Nine Babies was enraged.

    Chants began to rapidly pour from its nine mouths.

    Formless and formless figures began to gather around it.

    “Is it a ultimate move?”

    “Too bad I won’t be around for it.”

    Shen Ye smiled faintly.

    In the churning floodwaters, a shadow emerged, rolling to his feet.

    The wooden beam!

    Shen Ye hugged the wooden beam, pushed open the door, and jumped in.

    Nine Babies stopped chanting and looked at Shen Ye.

    It only heard a sound of “Oh my goodness?”, and then the young man was gone.

    The door slowly closed.

    On the other other side of the door—

    Shen Ye was falling rapidly.

    Splash!

    He landed in the surging water, then surfaced, looking ahead.

    Ahead.

    Above the water was a log bridge.

    The bridge was several hundred meters long, and beneath it was a turbulent underground river, with occasional grotesque monsters appearing.

    The entire bridge was a single long tree, of an unknown species, yet it was surprisingly long.

    Two people stood on the bridge.

    A young girl full of youthful vigor, yet emanating a gloomy, dim aura.

    A dazed young man, with countless thin steel wires wrapped around his hands, stood hunched behind the girl.

    Zhao Yibing!

    Skinner!

    They had finally found their way here!

    Shen Ye knew he couldn’t hide, so he flashed and jumped onto the log bridge.

    Only then did Zhao Yibing reveal a smile.

    “Originally, if you had died, I would have collected your corpse, extracted that power from you, and everything would have ended simply.”

    “But you’re still alive?”

    She carefully scrutinized Shen Ye.

    “Was it your doing?” Shen Ye asked.

    “No,” Zhao Yibing said.

    Shen Ye was stunned.

    Zhao Yibing’s eyes were deep, and she whispered, “As humans, you underestimate the evil of your own kind.”

    “It really wasn’t you?” Shen Ye said.

    Zhao Yibing seemed somewhat amused, and slowly continued:

    “Although I am a lofty deity, possessing boundless power, in the face of your human malice, I too will hold my breath and marvel at your actions, feeling my inferiority.”

    Shen Ye felt a premonition, pulled out his playing card and looked at it.

    A line of small text appeared on the card:

    “You have entered the Secret Realm of the True Dharma Realm. You are currently in team mode. Within ten seconds, your teammates will be teleported here.”

    Shen Ye suddenly shouted, “Disband! Disband the team!”

    Another line of small text appeared:

    “Your team has been disbanded. You will face the current Secret Realm of the True Dharma Realm alone.”

    On the log bridge, Zhao Yibing’s voice rang out again:

    “But then again, you humans have both very high lows and very high highs.”

    Xiao Mengyu looked at the monster in the hall.

    The monster was seven to eight zhang long, with three human heads and a serpentine body, constantly chasing her.

    Although it looked terrifying, its movements were not very agile. Even when spewing fireballs and water, it would pause.

    So, if she seized the opportunity—

    Xiao Mengyu suddenly turned around, her sword piercing through the snake monster’s body, decapitating all three of its heads.

    The monster was dead.

    …It didn’t seem too difficult.

    Xiao Mengyu sheathed her sword, walked to the small door at the end of the hall, and pushed it open.

    The moment the door opened, the entire hall suddenly vanished without a trace.

    Warm applause erupted from all around.

    Xiao Mengyu froze.

    At this moment, she found herself standing in an auditorium.

    All around were the long-awaiting elders of various prominent families, as well as directors and executives of various institutions, and those reporters.

    Flashbulbs flashed incessantly.

    The invigilators of the three major high schools sat on the high platform, smiling at her.

    “Well done, Xiao Mengyu, you are this year’s first place!”

    Someone shouted loudly.

    Xiao Mengyu only paused for a moment before immediately speaking, “Sirs, I have something to report.”

    “What is it?”

    On the high platform, the invigilator from Jialan College asked.

    “There seem to have been some changes in the examination hall. It actually allowed students to fight each other!” Xiao Mengyu said.

    “The Jialan Dharma Realm occasionally gets out of our control and generates some special rules. No one can change it,” the invigilator said.

    Xiao Mengyu said, “But others—”

    “No need to say more. It’s not easy for humans to survive in this world. If the Jialan Dharma Realm believes a battle is necessary, then the rules of combat will change,” the invigilator said.

    Xiao Mengyu was speechless.

    In her pocket, the new player card vibrated slightly.

    New message?

    Xiao Mengyu took out the card, about to look at it, but found that the card flew out of her hand and onto the high platform.

    “Ah—”

    She instinctively cried out, looking at the three invigilators on the high platform.

    The Jialan invigilator tapped the card lightly.

    Pale blue lines immediately appeared on the card.

    “You have become a member of Jialan High School, Xiao Mengyu.”

    “From now on, you are a new student of Jialan College—your card will gain many functions of Jialan High School—and your examination is completely over.”

    He said.

    The card flew back and landed in Xiao Mengyu’s hand.

    Xiao Mengyu held the card and, sensing it slightly, realized that her doubled attributes had indeed disappeared.

    …Alright.

    She had finished the exam as the top student.

    But him?

    Who would be the next to emerge?
