Cataclysm King

Chapter 473: The Ancient Giant Hand Suppressing the Tower of Babel

"Also, I got the exclusive second-level Qigong Master template from my special treasure chest - [Lancelot's Courage]!"

This was probably the first time David opened a settlement box and received such a generous reward, so he seemed very excited.

Having grown up in poverty, he was already very satisfied that he could buy a black iron quality demon mark by himself.

Now not only did he draw the legendary mark, he also got the template that could be sold at a sky-high price in the legendary auction house.

This feeling was like a huge fortune falling from the sky, making him feel very unreal.

Ji Xun also felt that he understood.

Not everyone is like him, having the experience of completing S-level clearance more than once.

For ordinary people, being able to go through an A-level plot once is an experience worth bragging about for most of their lives.

Excited, David looked at Ji Xun.

In addition to wanting to share the joy, I also feel grateful.

David knew very well that he was able to survive until now entirely thanks to this powerful teammate.

But at this moment his mood was complicated and confused.

Why does this teammate who follows the polymath sequence know [Ba Quan]?
Moreover, he seemed like a different person before, fighting head-on against a third-level vampire. Why did he suddenly become so powerful?

Ji Xun looked at that look and of course knew what he was curious about.

But now is obviously not the time to explain in detail.

The people of the Red Dragon Royal Family have made such a big fuss this time, and it's probably a mess outside now.

If we delay any further, things will change.

Ji Xun said directly to David: "Go out later and find a chance to escape. Then go to 'No. 33 Beicheng Road' and don't worry about other things. I will explain it to you then."

David knows a lot of inside information and will definitely not pass the subsequent review.

Now that the Red Dragon Royal Family has made some noise, it is a good opportunity to escape from slavery.

Although David had countless doubts in his heart, he nodded decisively: "Yes!"

Although he didn't know what his teammate "Su Lun" was hiding, he was not stupid and had vaguely guessed something.

When Gong Wu taught him [Ba Quan], he asked his teacher.

The response was,

Only two people in the world have learned this unique boxing style.

except him.

Then there is that other guy who is always called a "genius" by his teacher.

The scenery around changed.

Ji Xun, David, Gang Duoduo and Seri who were still in a coma, the four of them returned to the Tower of Babel.

This enclosed space the size of a football field is the trial ground of the Tower of Babel.

It is also the place where their trial team of 500 people gathers and sets out.

More people came out one after another.

But there aren't many left.

Not only were the students confused, but the instructors who stayed at the trial field were also extremely surprised.

Five hundred people went to participate in the trial, and came back in scattered groups. It looked like there were less than two hundred people?
You should know that although there are death quotas in the normal semester trials for new students, it usually does not exceed 10%.

But right now, less than half of them have come out alive.

And only Ji Xun knew that this was the final plot reversal.

Otherwise they would have died just now. Those who participated in the trial this time would probably be wiped out by those vampires.

"What's going on? Our team is still in the village killing bandits who attacked at night. How come the trial is over? I only have a dozen points in the trial and I didn't draw anything!"

"Yeah. Didn't it say that the trial would last three days? How come it's over before it even lasted one night? I'm still looking for plot clues in the village."

"Didn't you see the enlightenment? Those powerful teams of the Red Dragon Royal Family directly broke through the Black Crow Fortress, and then the plot ended. But it's strange, if I read it correctly, the prompt is 'S-level' to clear the plot?"

"Ah, yes, what's going on? Am I also a man who has completed the S-rank story?"

"It's so horrible, you don't know. We went to attack the bandits in Black Crow Castle, and everything seemed so good, but suddenly it turned into a silver party. Oh, you don't know, those maids were so beautiful, each with big breasts and fair skin. And then who knew, they turned into the legendary vampires."

"Sam, don't talk about that useless stuff. Talk about the silver party."

"Princess Sofia is wise! Our Baron Endon team participated in the Battle of Black Crow Castle and managed to get over a thousand points. Hahahaha, we will definitely be in the top 100 in this trial ranking."

"."

The members of the trial team came out with both joy and sorrow.

They excitedly chattered with each other, discussing this bizarre trial experience.

Almost everyone who came out alive here doesn't know what happened.

It ended in a daze.

Even for those who participated in the battle of Black Crow Castle, Ji Xun guessed that they had only received the order to assemble, and did not know that the real purpose of Princess Sophia and her group was the holy relics of the Holy See of Light.

Among the two hundred people, only Ji Xun and David knew the truth.

Because when I looked, Princess Sofia was gone.

"The academy hasn't reacted yet. The identity of that 'undercover' is very high. Who could it be? Dean Francis of the War and Military Academy, or Vice Dean Gustav of the History and Mystery Academy?"

Ji Xun pondered in his heart and muttered to himself.

The only ones who have a close relationship with Princess Sofia, have access to the authority of the [Tower of Babel], and can interfere in this trial are those senior officials.

But it doesn’t matter who it is.

When Ji Xun saw this, he began to understand the source of the energy of the Tower of Babel.

Just like in the other dimension before, the people of the Church of Light used the leaked divine substance of "Scarlet Corruption·Saiatis" to maintain the effectiveness of the [Sun Disk].

There is a high probability that there is some divine substance sealed under the ground of this academy.

The seal in the trial space is actually not just to trap Seadis.

The pyramid is also part of the seal of Emperor Lanlingster, and there are even more terrifying existences in the abyss rift within the seal.

Ji Xun didn't know what it was.

But there is a vague guess that it is related to the Titan monsters in the Silver Fir Forest.

But not surprised.

The history of this underground world is like a thousand-layer cake, with each layer revealed.

It's not surprising that some random ancient gods are sealed underground.

Just as I was thinking about it, the instructors from the college also hurried into the room.

Seeing the students suffering heavy losses, the instructors also panicked.

The rescue team entered the scene and it became a mess.

"Pug, why are you back alone? Where are your teammates? What, are they all dead? What happened?"

"How come so many people died? What? Someone triggered an S-level plot?"

"Was it triggered by someone from the Red Dragon Royal Family? Where is Princess Sofia? Who is the invigilator of this trial?"

"What! The background of the trial space you are participating in is the 'Alterac Civilization'? Damn it, who put that kind of taboo in the Tower of Babel!"

"."

The students knew nothing about anything.

The Tower of Babel Trial has been going on for thousands of years, and this is the first time such an accident has occurred.

Although the instructors didn't know what was going on, after some brief inquiries, they gradually realized that something was seriously wrong.

When Ji Xun saw this, the wisdom in his eyes faded away by a large margin.

It was as if he had formatted himself, his original will was stripped away, and he became "Su Lun" again.

If possible, I will stay in the Royal Academy for a while and I will still need this identity.

The only ones who knew the inside story of his clone were Sophia and the other two.

However, Ji Xun didn't think that the other party would be so idle as to report him.

The clone can remain safe for a while.

This time, the Langdon family has two teams in the same space. In addition to Ji Xun and his team, there is also Young Master Sack's team.

Seeing that only four people came out of Ji Xun's team, anyone could guess what they might have experienced.

Sack also knew that Ji Xun and the others had gone to explore the forest at night, so he was even more curious about what had happened.

And the mentor Chirona, who was sent by the academy to investigate the assassination case, also cast an inquiring look.

Ji Xun looked normal.

After all, part of the clone's cognition has been restricted, and no information can be obtained no matter what secret method is used.

David seemed a little nervous.

Because he is now the only one who knows the situation.

Fortunately, at this time, the expected conflict finally came.

Ji Xun didn't think that the forces behind Princess Sofia could get away so easily after such a big commotion this time.

So it's bound to create chaos.

As he expected.

Suddenly, as if there was an earthquake, the entire Tower of Babel began to rumble and sway.

You know, the Tower of Babel is one of the most important buildings in the Royal Academy.

Not to mention whether the energy waves of the earthquake can penetrate the various defense barriers of the academy,

Even if it really penetrated, it would be impossible for the tower formed by the artifact fragments to shake so violently.

Moreover, the shaking was getting more and more violent, as if the entire tower was about to collapse.

This scene not only shocked the students.

Even the instructors didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, the radio in the tower sounded urgently.

"Emergency notice! Emergency notice! All class teachers, please lead your class students to the shelter room immediately."

"Emergency notice! Emergency notice!"

"."

After hearing this, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The students have all undergone emergency drills, and the situation in which the "shelter room" is used is most likely when the college has suffered a devastating disaster.

Who dares?

The academy has nine-level top-level experts.

But it happened.

This means that the situation is very bad.

After hearing the broadcast, the scene became even more chaotic.

No one dared to be careless, and the instructors quickly asked the students to leave the Tower of Babel.

The college had never encountered such an emergency before, and everyone was in a panic.

Ji Xun and David carried the unconscious Seri and Gang Duoduo respectively, and mixed in the panicked crowd as they rushed out of the Tower of Babel like a tide.

As soon as you exit the tower, the first thing that catches your eye is the gorgeous barrier.

Not only Ji Xun and his group of students, but even most of the instructors saw the academy's defense formation fully deployed for the first time.

The overwhelming magical aura swept over, and everyone felt a strong sense of crisis.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the defensive barrier in the sky kept exploding into brilliant energy balls, as if someone was fighting.

I don't know who is fighting, but they are fighting.

The fight was intense.

And the ground was shaking more and more. As soon as Ji Xun and his group of trial participants came out, terrifying cracks appeared everywhere on the ground, as if something was rolling underground.

The Tower of Babel is located right at the back of the mountain, with the snow line not far above.

The violent tremor caused the snow that had been deposited on the Titan Mountains for countless years, mixed with a large amount of gravel, to rush down like an avalanche.

And the collapse is getting more and more serious.

Looking at this situation, it seemed as if the entire mountain was about to collapse.

"Could it be that 'that thing' sealed under the Tower of Babel has come out?"

Ji Xun muttered something in his mind and roughly understood what happened.

After all, the Royal Academy of Arel is the territory of the Holy See, and there are various restrictions and countless masters.

No matter how powerful the forces behind Sophia are, they cannot be confronted head-on.

Unblocking "that thing" and creating chaos is also the best chance to escape.

Ji Xun just took a glance and turned and ran without any delay.

The academy was filled with students scattered in panic.

The students were not stupid. They knew it was no longer safe to stay in the academy. Few of them went to the shelter, but instead they all rushed towards the academy gate.

Ji Xun and David, who was in the crowd, looked at each other.

David also quietly disappeared into the crowd and ran out of the academy.

In such a chaotic situation, no one would pay attention to a low-level card master.

Ji Xun activated the [Gulika], holding Seri in one hand and Gang Duoduo in the other, and running wildly towards the distance using the light body technique.

People were running for their lives everywhere in the academy, and the scene was in great chaos.

Although the academy is large, the extraordinary people are all very fast.

Especially when escaping.

It wasn't just an earthquake. The shock waves from the battle were getting stronger and stronger. The ground of the academy collapsed everywhere, and the light of the barrier in the sky became more and more brilliant.

Suddenly, I don’t know what barrier was broken, and the vision became clear.

Only then did everyone see clearly that there were two hundred-meter-long dragons fighting fiercely in the sky.

One silver dragon and one black dragon.

Although they transformed into dragon forms, their original human expressions could be seen on the faces of both dragons.

The Black Dragon was none other than the dean of the Royal Academy, Zimmerman, a top-level expert who had been promoted to the ninth level two hundred years ago.

And that silver dragon, Gustav, the vice-president of the School of History and Mystery.

Ji Xun didn't seem surprised.

The "traitor" among the college's top management must be Dean Gustav.

The only surprise is, isn’t Gustav at level eight?

How come he can fight on equal terms with the old dean of the ninth level?

When he saw the [Sun Disk] hovering around the silver dragon, he understood.

This old man is also a remnant of the old-time Illuminati.

"Has this disc really been brought out?"

Ji Xun was not sure before whether Princess Sophia had obtained the [Sun Disk].

But I think I got it.

It's not logical deduction, but intuition.

Since Emperor Lanlingster in the space can give herself the [JOKER] card, he can also help Sophia get the roulette wheel.

Some problems that seem very complicated to ordinary humans can be seen through at a glance in the eyes of people at a high level.

Even tens of thousands of years ago, the great emperor might have been able to see the threat posed by the dragon descendants of the southern continent to the Kashi civilization.

The appearance of that thing is a great boon to the Kashi civilization.

The more chaotic the Southern Continent becomes, the less pressure there will be on survival in the Eastern Wilderness and the Old Continent.

The thought disappeared in a flash.

Ji Xun had already mixed in with the crowd and ran to the outskirts of the academy.

The battle at the ninth level is devastating, and even with a defensive barrier, it is impossible to completely stop it.

What's more, the person who did it was a vice-president who knew the college very well.

The barrier set up in the academy was meaningless to him.

It seemed that Dean Zimmerman intended to protect the college, which prevented huge casualties.

Because of these concerns, the fight became so difficult to resolve.

The two were still fighting fiercely in the sky, and the loud dragon roars were mixed with anger.

"Gustav, do you know what you are doing? Breaking the seal will have disastrous consequences!"

"Damn it, you actually used the power of heresy!"

"Zimmerman, my old friend, don't be so naive. Hasn't this happened before in history? Light is the only true god of the dragon race. The one you are loyal to is just a sinister and despicable person."

"."

Some of the words seemed to be spoken deliberately for others to hear, and the sound echoed throughout the entire college.

However, those heretical remarks, which concealed a huge amount of information, seemed to be deliberately interrupted by the academy, and could only be heard intermittently.

Ji Xun had already guessed most of it.

The Dragon God of the Church of Light from hundreds of thousands of years ago is really alive;

Ariel, the Dragon God behind the current Holy See, ended the era of the old gods and seemed to have played some dishonorable role in the process.

But none of this matters anymore.

Ji Xun watched the battle that broke out between the two sides, and in his eyes he could see a series of events that could be deduced.

He likes excitement.

I prefer this kind of excitement that makes the world turbulent.

Dean Zimmermann is not the only top master in the academy. In the blink of an eye, several more powerful auras appeared in the sky, together they besieged the silver dragon.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of rebellion would not last long.

But it is clear that the key to this unrest is not fighting.

And the real point is... the seal.

The earthquakes continue.

Hit, hit, hit,

The mountain collapsed as everyone looked on in astonishment.

Correct!
It was the mountain near the [Tower of Babel] at the back of the academy that collapsed in full view of everyone!

Then, an indescribable aura of horror swept across the area within a radius of dozens of miles.

When everyone looked closely, they saw a huge arm appearing in the collapsed mountain.

It looked like the severed arm of some giant creature. Just the forearm and the palm were over a hundred meters long.

Black death energy like flames rose from his arms, and a high-ranking pressure that did not belong to any race shocked everyone's mind.

"Is this the source of the Tower of Babel's energy?"

Ji Xun looked at the arm breaking out of the ground, and his eyes jumped inexplicably: "What kind of creature is so huge?"

I originally thought it was some divine substance from the Holy See of Light, but now it seems not to be.

The instructors in the academy were all stunned, obviously unaware of the situation.

As this arm extended, the resentment that seemed to have been pent up for countless years burst out.

It slammed the ground hard, making a devastating sound.

In the blink of an eye, a crack a hundred meters wide appeared in the center of the Royal Academy.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks expanded for miles, until a top-level instructor stood in front of the students and blocked the shock wave.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xun suddenly understood how those deep rifts came about.

Then he turned and ran!

I used to think that this distance was safe enough for watching the show, but now after seeing this scene, I feel that it is far from safe.

A battle of this level would be fatal to watch.

As soon as the seal on this huge broken arm was broken, the top masters of the academy had to turn their attention to it.

If the giant hand continues to destroy like this, the entire academy will be destroyed.

And if we let it escape, the consequences will be disastrous.

Most of the masters in the academy were restrained by the giant hand. Gustav, who had transformed into a silver dragon, felt the pressure relieved instantly. He also found the right opportunity to flap his wings and fly away into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When Ji Xun saw this, he knew that the matter had come to an end.

But this is the beginning again.

The remnants of the Light Party from the old era have fled, and the situation in the southern continent is about to become lively.

On the other side, while the students were fleeing the academy, David also ran all the way.

He was a slave, rootless and powerless. Even if he ran away, the slave collar around his neck would reveal his identity as a renegade slave.

And there is a high probability that anyone who encounters him will be captured and brought back to the Langdon family in exchange for a bounty.

Originally, even if he wanted to escape, it would be impossible to go to the Giant City.

But David firmly believed what "Su Lun" said before.

He ran all the way and soon arrived at the North City District.

After searching for a while, I found that No. 33 Beicheng Road was a hotel area where adventurers gathered.

After David found the place, he carefully made sure no one was paying attention to him, and then he sneaked into the small hotel with a sign that read "Adventurer's Home".

He originally didn't know why "Su Lun" asked him to come here.

He randomly found a dark alley, climbed over the courtyard wall, and tried to find the contact person.

As luck would have it, as soon as I landed on the ground, I turned around and met someone.

I clearly didn't sense any living person before I climbed over the wall.

But after coming in, I discovered it.

Moreover, the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

David was originally tense, after all, he was a runaway slave.

But the next moment, when he saw clearly the appearance of the man in the yard, he suddenly realized something.

Although the appearance had changed, when David looked at that face, he suddenly found it overlapped with the temperament of "Su Lun" in the previous trial space.

The feeling of those eyes seeming to see through all the truth is almost exactly the same!
David's eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked tentatively, "You are Su Lun?"

"this one"

Ji Xun had a faint smile on his face and pondered for a moment.

This question is a little bit difficult to explain.

He thought about it and said, "I am 'Su Lun', but 'Su Lun' is not me."

"???"

David listened to these difficult words with a face full of question marks.

Ji Xun looked at his stunned expression and smiled. He did not expect a pure warrior to understand such a question, so he said, "Sit down. If you want to know, I can tell you."

Looking at this scene, he inexplicably thought of the first time he met Jia Yu's real body.

It's like going back in time, a magical feeling.
