If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Inside the Longmen Pagoda.

A dark blue mist swirls and billows.

The blurry doorways, like eyes emerging from the depths of darkness, silently stared at Lin Yuan.

The deep voice still echoed.

"Those who cleanse the gate are not inside the tower."

"She is in the city."

Lin Yuan stood still.

The calm on her face gradually disappeared.

It's not panic.

It's not fear.

Instead, it was an extreme, chilling silence.

Xiaoya.

The Black Gate's real target was indeed Xiaoya.

A wisp of dark blue mist attempted to approach Lin Yuan.

But as soon as they entered a three-meter radius around him, it was as if they had crashed into an invisible divine mountain, and they instantly collapsed.

Lin Yuan raised his head.

Look at the shadowy doors at the end of the dark corridor.

The sound was very soft.

"You can come at me."

"But we shouldn't mention her."

boom--!

These words were spoken.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly sank an inch.

There was no burst of true energy.

There was no martial arts fluctuation.

The sheer weight of the physical body caused this polluted space to groan as if it were about to collapse.

The shadowy doors around them swayed slightly.

It was as if they sensed some kind of instinctive danger.

But the next moment.

A disheveled roar suddenly came from afar.

"Get out of here!"

That was Han Zhaoye's voice.

Lin Yuan glanced sideways.

At the other end of the dark corridor, a distorted image slowly emerged.

That was another trial space in the Dragon Gate Tower.

Han Zhaoye was surrounded by dozens of corrupted beast shadows. His dark blue battle armor was torn, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he kept swinging his long sword.

Each strike could shatter several beast shadows.

But once those things are scattered, they will quickly re-condense from the dark blue mist.

They can't be killed all of them.

They can't kill them all.

What's more troublesome is that the polluted mist is constantly suppressing his internal energy circulation.

Han Zhaoye's movements became slower and slower.

His face grew paler and paler.

Just a moment ago, he was still the aloof genius of Longyuan Academy.

Early stage of Xuanhai realm.

Looking down at all the students in the seventh safety zone.

But now, he was forced to retreat continuously by these polluted beast shadows.

Embarrassed.

Panic.

Even his breathing began to become disordered.

"Help me!"

Han Zhaoye finally couldn't hold back and roared at the monitoring array above his head.

"Open the tower!"

"Release me immediately!"

outside world.

On the playground.

Everyone saw this.

The instructors at Longyuan Academy had ashen faces.

Han Zhaoye was one of the people they brought.

If something goes wrong at the review meeting, Longyuan Academy will completely lose face.

Su Zhan said in a deep voice:

"Still haven't regained control?"

The mentor was covered in cold sweat.

"The pollution containment is too deep!"

"The tower's interior has been divided into several layers by the aura of the Black Gate. Forcibly breaking through now could very likely drag everyone inside into the contaminated layers!"

Luo Xingshuang said coldly:

"So we just wait for them to die inside?"

No one dared to speak.

Gu Changye stared at the light screen.

The gentle smile that had been on his face was gone.

This review is spiraling out of control.

What bothers him even more is...

Lin Yuan's image has not yet been restored.

In polluted spaces.

Han Zhaoye had already retreated to a corner.

His knife-wielding movements became slower and slower.

A polluted beast pounced from the side.

He managed to block it.

But another beastly shadow had already circled around behind them.

Han Zhaoye's pupils suddenly contracted.

Finished!

In that very instant.

boom!

The isolation door behind him suddenly burst open with a crack.

It wasn't forcibly opened by the outside world.

Instead, it was pushed away from the other side by something.

Han Zhaoye suddenly turned around.

next moment.

He saw a familiar figure.

Old school uniform.

Hands in pockets.

His expression was calm.

Lin Yuan.

Han Zhaoye was stunned.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

"you?"

"What are you doing here?"

The external light screen also briefly returned to normal at that moment.

Everyone saw it.

Lin Yuan actually appeared in the polluted trial layer where Han Zhaoye was.

The entire school was in uproar.

"Lin Yuan has gone?"

"Is he crazy?"

"That's the shadow of a corrupted beast!"

"What's he doing going in there, a mere Qi and Blood Realm Level 1 cultivator?"

Zhao Hai's expression changed drastically.

"Brother Yuan!"

Su Qinghan also clenched her fingers tightly.

Luo Xingshuang frowned even more deeply.

Only Gu Changye's eyes suddenly became extremely deep.

Why did Lin Yuan go there?

How did he get through the contaminated isolation layer?

Has the Blood Elder's protective seal been triggered again?

Inside the tower.

Han Zhaoye looked at Lin Yuan, and her first reaction was not gratitude, but shame and anger.

He is a genius from Longyuan Academy.

To my dismay, a mere Qi and Blood Realm Level 1 trash saw me in my most wretched state!

"Who sent you?"

Han Zhaoye gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

"What use are you?"

"Get your master to save me!"

Lin Yuan looked at him.

His gaze was calm.

"Didn't you just ask what I had left after leaving my master?"

Han Zhaoye's expression froze.

Lin Yuan continued:

"I'll tell you now."

"You'll just kneel there and wait for me to save you."

boom!

This message was transmitted to the outside world through the restored, unstable surveillance footage.

The playground fell silent instantly.

Just now, Han Zhaoye stood in front of everyone and mocked Lin Yuan, saying that he was nothing without his master.

But now.

He was driven to the brink of despair by the corrupted beastly shadow.

But Lin Yuan stood in front of him.

This slap in the face came too quickly.

That's too ruthless.

Han Zhaoye's face flushed red.

"Lin Yuan, you..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The surrounding monstrous shadows pounced again.

The external scene suddenly distorted.

On the light screen, only a pale blue snowflake remained.

"The feed went dead!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"What happened inside?"

no one knows.

In the contaminated trial layer.

Lin Yuan finally pulled one hand out of his pocket.

He did not activate the Eightfold Asura Body.

They didn't even reveal their ultimate battle form.

He simply raised his hand.

Press down.

boom--!

The entire polluted space suddenly sank.

The approaching, polluted beasts seemed to be pressed to the ground by an invisible, immense force.

There were no screams.

There was no struggle.

It instantly dissipated into a patch of dark blue mist.

Han Zhaoye was stunned.

His pupils contracted sharply.

The corrupted beast that had just cornered him.

In front of Lin Yuan, they didn't even have the right to get close?

How is that possible?

Lin Yuan glanced at him.

"Can you stand up?"

Han Zhaoye's face was grim.

He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up.

But her legs went weak and she almost knelt back down.

Lin Yuan did not help him up.

He simply said:

"It doesn't look like it will work."

Han Zhaoye's face turned even redder.

This time, however, he did not refute it.

Because he really couldn't stand up straight.

Lin Yuan looked up and gazed into the depths of the trial level.

There was a dark blue crack there, leading towards the center of the tower.

The true location where the Black Gate contamination has infiltrated is not here.

And at the core of the Lungmen Tower.

Lin Yuan did not waste any more time.

He lifted his foot and walked towards the crack.

Han Zhaoye couldn't help but speak up:

"Where are you going?"

Lin Yuan did not turn around.

"Let's go eat."

Han Zhaoye: "?"

next second.

The surveillance footage has been restored.

The people outside finally saw what was happening inside the tower.

The corrupted beast shadows have all disappeared.

Han Zhaoye knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Lin Yuan stood in front of him.

Hands in pockets.

His expression was calm.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

"Where is the beast shadow?"

"All gone?"

"How did they disappear?"

"Is it another protective mark?"

Soon, everyone automatically found a reasonable explanation.

It must be that the protective seal that Senior Bloodface left on Lin Yuan has been triggered again.

Otherwise, someone at the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm wouldn't have been able to save Han Zhaoye in the polluted space.

Instructor Longyuan looked at the data with a complicated expression.

"A brief fluctuation in the Crimson Lotus attribute was detected."

"Suspected secondary activation of exogenous seal."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Everyone understood once again.

really.

It's still about protecting the seal.

Han Zhaoye also heard the outside world's judgment.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he didn't say it.

Because he had just witnessed with his own eyes that all the polluted beast shadows disintegrated after Lin Yuan raised his hand.

Was it a protective seal at that moment?

he does not know.

I'm not sure either.

Gu Changye stared intently at Lin Yuan's figure.

External seal protection.

It's another external protective seal.

All the evidence points to the methods left behind by the Blood Elder.

But why is it always exactly the same?

It just barely blocked the heavy pressure.

The town was just polluted.

They just happened to save Han Zhaoye.

This allowed Lin Yuan to maintain his status as "Level One of the Qi and Blood Realm".

That makes perfect sense.

It's so reasonable it's chilling.

Inside the tower.

Lin Yuan ignored Han Zhaoye.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of chaos in the surveillance footage, he had already pinpointed the location of the central passageway.

The Lin Yuan seen by the outside world is still standing in the trial layer.

In reality, it was just a temporary visual illusion caused by the residual pollution fluctuations.

The real Lin Yuan has already entered the no-man's-land in the heart of the tower.

There are no surveillance cameras here.

There was no audience.

Gu Changye was not in sight.

There is only one downward-extending, silvery-white channel.

The end of the passage.

The blue and white energy light shimmered like a tide.

At the same time, there were also dark blue-black cracks wrapped around the outside of the energy core.

Two forces are intertwined.

One side is pure.

Pollution on one side.

One side is a high-level source energy core from Longyuan Academy.

On one side, a strange erosion comes from the depths of the Black Gate.

Lin Yuan walked step by step toward the center of the tower.

Footsteps echoed through the empty passageway.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

As he drew closer.

The enormous blue-white energy core finally appeared completely before his eyes.

It floats in the center of the tower.

The internal energy surged, like a small star sealed within a metal array.

But outside the energy core.

The cracks in the black gate, like chains, are slowly seeping deeper.

Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks.

Looking at this energy core.

Then I looked at the cracks in the black doors.

After a while.

He smiled.

Gu Changye set up the Dragon Gate Tower to interrogate him.

The Black Gate is using the contamination module to try and find Xiaoya.

One is a tower.

One is a source of pollution.

They even delivered them all to him.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand.

Spread your five fingers.

whisper:

"Gu Changye delivers the tower."

"The black gate delivers contamination."

"You're quite polite."

The words fell.

His palm landed on the core of the Dragon Gate Tower's energy source.

boom--!

The entire Dragon Gate Trial Tower trembled violently.
