Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 172 Ugly Ape Star

"Are you kidding me? A 10% mortality rate!"

"The disability rate for soldiers enlisting in the Immortal Alliance is only 40%, but the disability rate for the Immortal Alliance's college entrance examination retest this time has reached 50%, which is too outrageous!"

"We're here to take the college entrance exam, not to die!"

Upon hearing the person in charge's words, the examination room erupted in an uproar.

Some candidates' expressions changed, and some even considered giving up on the Immortal Alliance retest.

"A bunch of cowardly scum, unworthy to be my companions." Seeing the fear and unease on everyone's faces, Shen Qiong's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

The Immortal Alliance's reform of the college entrance examination retest this time may be the right thing to do.

The struggle for immortality is inherently cruel.

A group of flowers grown in a greenhouse may look beautiful, but they cannot withstand wind and rain.

It would be better to give the resources to these cultivators who dare to face life and death.

Chen Beiwu didn't speak, but quietly watched the old man on the big screen.

Since he dared to sign the life-or-death contract, he must have been prepared to face death.

If he didn't even have this much awareness, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Qi Refining Limit Exceeding Realm.

"Once you qualify for this assessment, there is no option to give up."

"In the event of force majeure, you may choose to commit suicide to withdraw, thus avoiding more serious injuries and death within the Divine Void Realm."

"However, choosing suicide will significantly lower your evaluation in the re-examination."

At this point, the old man revealed a look of great interest: "Whether you choose to run away and become a coward, or choose to forge ahead and prove your excellence, the choice is in your hands."

"I hereby announce that the unified re-examination for admission to regular higher cultivation schools will now begin!"

"Buzz!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a light screen appeared in front of each of the candidates present.

That was the guiding light of the Divine Void Realm.

Once a candidate touches the guiding light, they can project their own power and that of their fellow beasts to the competition location, Ugly Ape Star, for a life-or-death competition.

'I will win!'

With this firm belief, Shen Qiong took a step forward without hesitation.

"The guiding light of the Divine Void Realm will disappear after three breaths. During this period, candidates who do not take a step will be considered to have given up the Immortal Alliance retest."

The person in charge's voice, imbued with magical power, resounded throughout the perimeter of the blessed land, causing countless examinees to display uncertain expressions.

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he took a step forward.

His goal was not only to successfully pass the Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination retest, but to sweep aside all the heroes, obtain the highest evaluation, and shake the thirteen Immortal Sects in one fell swoop.

……

Ugly Ape Star.

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and found himself in a mountain forest with sparse spiritual energy.

To avoid being discovered, he immediately used a concealment technique to reduce his presence, and then used his divine sense to check the surrounding situation.

'Is this another Dharma-ending Age where spiritual energy is declining?' Chen Beiwu frowned slightly.

Unlike in the Southern Wilderness of the Immortal Alliance, this place was devoid of spiritual energy, and the air was filled with a strange metallic smell, making him feel obviously uncomfortable and subconsciously closing all his pores.

Fortunately, the magical power within his dantian and dantian circulates on its own, allowing him to maintain his state for a long time even without absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Gulu?"

The golden egg now resembled a golden belt wrapped around Chen Beiwu's waist, his expression filled with confusion.

"Be careful to control your inner energy." Chen Beiwu glanced at the golden egg.

The latter obediently did as instructed, its golden vertical pupils curiously surveying its surroundings.

In the distance, on the fertile black soil, dozens of poorly clothed farmers were struggling to wield their hoes, each wearing a black iron ring around their necks.

Iron rings connected to heavy chains locked the farmers in the fields, preventing them from leaving.

At the edge of the field, a two-meter-tall gray ape wearing ripped jeans held a brick-sized feature phone in its hand, occasionally letting out excited cries.

During this time, any farmer who dared to stop moving was whipped mercilessly by the gray ape. Seeing this, Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even a seemingly weak and ugly ape with no magical powers can enslave dozens of adult men.

This world is really unpleasant to look at.

……

Meanwhile, outside the military base in the northern part of Ugly Ape Star.

"Kucha!"

Looking at the six ugly apes in front of her, their eyes filled with wariness, the female cultivator in green sighed helplessly.

She never expected to be so unlucky, getting surrounded as soon as she descended through the Divine Void Realm.

'Since you're all looking for death, don't blame me.' To avoid being exposed, Zheng Lan decisively took action to silence them.

Several fireballs exploded, and the five ugly apes immediately collapsed with their heads shattered.

Upon seeing this, the only surviving ugly ape's expression changed drastically, and he picked up a pistol and pointed it at Zheng Lan.

"Bang bang bang!" Bullets were fired in rapid succession, hurtling towards Zheng Lan at a speed of 360m/s.

'A boring toy.' Zheng Lan's eyes flashed with disdain. She used her magic to dodge the bullets with ease, then lunged forward and knocked the ugly ape in front of her unconscious with a single punch.

She spared one survivor not out of pity, but to gather more intelligence.

Just then, Zheng Lan suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and subconsciously activated her magic to form a protective barrier.

"boom!"

As the shockwave rang out, a metal bullet, about thirteen centimeters long, came to rest in front of her.

But Zheng Lan's expression grew increasingly grim.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The protective barrier collapsed in the next instant, and blood blossomed on Zheng Lan's head, heart, and chest, revealing penetrating wounds the size of a bowl.

'How can it be! ’

Zheng Lan's pupils contracted, and she lost consciousness, becoming the first candidate to be eliminated.

……

Bixiao Immortal Sect.

Outside the plaza of the blessed land, countless small screens are combined to form an enormous screen.

In front of the giant screen, twenty extraordinary Golden Core cultivators activated their divine senses to carefully observe the candidates' performances, ready to provide evaluations at any time.

Just then, one of the small screens suddenly went black and dimmed.

"It's really a bit exaggerated that a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator could die from dozens of sniper rifles."

"This little girl's adaptability is too poor. She noticed the trajectory of the bullet but didn't dodge in time. Instead, she planned to use her protective magic to block it all." A Golden Core cultivator shook his head.

Such incompetence disqualifies them from making a second evaluation; the Divine Void Realm will automatically classify them as inferior.

As the person in charge of this year's Immortal Alliance College Entrance Examination retest, Jiang Chuan also shook his head slightly.

Although the ugly apes on Ugly Ape Star do not cultivate magic, the technological weapons they develop are indeed quite powerful.

In particular, thermonuclear weapons capable of instantly destroying an island's ecosystem have a core power almost comparable to a Golden Core cultivator's self-destruction, capable of instantly killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

However, such a weapon is unlikely to hit a Golden Core cultivator, let alone cause them to perish.

Because the detonation of thermonuclear weapons is too inflexible.

Before the nuclear weapon was detonated, the Golden Elixir Master had already moved away from the center of the explosion.

"I hope this year we can have an outstanding prospect." Jiang Chuan looked at the screen.

On the surface, this assessment is a survival task, with higher evaluations given to candidates who survive longer. However, it is actually an assessment of their character and temperament.
