With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

"This is a tiny remnant of the battlefield from the ancient war. Over the long years, the murderous aura of countless battles within the battlefield has not been extinguished, but has instead nurtured countless martial arts remnant souls."

"This remnant soul is not a sinister ghost in the worldly sense. It has no intelligence whatsoever. It only retains its fighting instincts and basic martial arts moves from its previous life. It can be regarded as a puppet that knows no fatigue, no life or death, and no fear."

"However, if there are too many of these remnant souls, it will also have some irreversible effects on the secret realm itself, and may even give birth to unimaginably powerful monsters."

"Therefore, your test is to kill as many of these remnant souls as possible while preserving your own lives."

Li Cang's gaze swept over all the prospective freshmen, and he solemnly announced the only rules and reward system for the practical assessment.

"In this round of trials, there are no rankings. Everyone is free to fight, explore, and hunt. You can cooperate or act alone, but be aware that our test allows for deaths."

"Of course, everything you gain in the secret realm belongs to you. In addition, the school will award you academic credits as a reward."

"Within the secret realm, each remnant soul you slay will generate corresponding credits, ranging from no rank to third or fourth rank. The higher the rank of the remnant soul, the richer the reward will be."

"And academic credits will be the only universal 'currency' you can use after entering Jiangcheng Martial Arts University. You can exchange them for all the cultivation resources you need at the university's logistics department!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the entire venue.

All the candidates were breathing heavily, their eyes gleaming.

What they lack most right now is the resources to quickly transform their talents into a higher level of skill!

In other words, this third round of trials is a benefit given to them, an opportunity to earn credits as quickly as possible through fighting, exchange them for resources, and change their fate!

Li Cang continued in a deep voice, listing out the resources that could be redeemed for the credits, each one incredibly tempting:

"Credits can be exchanged for: spirit stones, pills, high-grade spiritual herbs, cultivation technique inheritances, divine weapons, and even entry qualifications for secret realms, one-on-one guidance from a national-level supreme expert..."

"Young men, do you want to rise to the top in the shortest amount of time? Then survive as long as possible and earn as many credits as possible!"

fair.

But that's not fair either.

After all, those who already possess martial arts skills naturally have a huge advantage and are more efficient at acquiring credits.

But this is also an opportunity and a stroke of luck for students from ordinary backgrounds to narrow the gap with them.

"This assessment doesn't have many rules, but remember this: you can do whatever you want, however you want, but killing each other is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from Wuhan University and never be admitted again."

"We will keep an eye on you."

The rules are simple, but there are also bottom lines: teamwork to kill enemies and tactical cooperation are allowed, but internal strife among humans is not permitted.

To be honest, none of them here want to suffer any losses.

"The secret passage is now open!"

With Li Cang's command, a thunderous boom echoed as the secret realm above the sky fully opened, unleashing an ancient and primal aura. A dazzling gate spanning a thousand meters crashed to the ground, revealing withered grass and ruins beyond, with crimson malevolent energy churning and emanating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

"Everyone, you may go in now. If you feel you cannot hold on, you may retreat the way you came, or hide and wait for three days and three nights to be automatically expelled."

"yes!"

Two thousand eight hundred and ninety-one candidates, without hesitation or retreat, seemed to have lost much of their youthful immaturity, and with their blood boiling, they strode into the dazzling gate.

Within moments, everyone had stepped into the secret realm. The portal slightly contracted, leaving only a fixed passage to ensure exit. At the same time, countless drones incorporating martial arts array patterns flew in, allowing outsiders to see the scene inside the secret realm.

Once everyone had entered the ancient battlefield secret realm, Li Cang slowly spoke to Lin Yan beside him: "This time, you're going in with us too. It's not just about participating in the assessment. If anything goes wrong, we can rest assured with you here."

Li Cang's eyes were deep, as if he had already anticipated something.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan did not hesitate. He immediately transformed into a divine rainbow and rushed into the secret realm. The scene before him underwent a dramatic change in an instant.

In the secret realm, the sky and earth were gloomy, and the setting sun was like blood.

Everywhere you look, there are broken mountains, collapsed battle platforms, and broken swords and spears buried deep in the soil. The soil on the ground is a dark blood brown, soaked with the blood of countless warriors from thousands of years ago, and the surging murderous aura lingers.

The air is also filled with the same heavy, desolate, and bleak aura of a hundred battles. Being in it is like being constantly baptized by the baleful aura, which is a great test for both the body and mind. It is also a place of creation where one can be reborn.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

The low whistling of the wind, like whispers, echoed continuously over this ancient battlefield. As if sensing the presence of these creatures, indistinct humanoid figures slowly rose from the vast wasteland.

They are clad in tattered, ancient armor, wield rusted weapons, and have dark, empty eyes that reveal no emotion, only a primal instinct for killing etched into their very souls. Their cultivation levels also vary from low to high.

Of course, the vast majority of them were remnant souls that hadn't even reached the first rank. Those that had reached a higher rank were distributed in a deeper area, as if there was an invisible restriction that divided these remnant souls into different areas.

Lin Yan slightly raised his eyes, his eyes flashing with golden light. His perception was frighteningly sharp, and he easily saw through the essence of these things.

The remnant souls here are a mass of murderous aura possessing the killing instincts and basic moves of ancient martial artists. It is the purest form of combat martial arts, undoubtedly the best whetstone for the younger generation who lack real combat experience. It is also safer than going directly into real battlefield combat.

For those geniuses who had already experienced countless bloody battles, the remnant souls on the outer perimeter were of no real need. After figuring out the environment of the ancient battlefield, they all began to venture deeper into it.

"kill!"

Countless remnant souls converged, like an invincible army, their surging killing intent sweeping in all directions. Countless remnant souls charged wildly, carrying the chilling aura accumulated over countless years, rushing towards the group of creatures that had entered the secret realm.

At this moment, the trial officially begins.

But at that very moment, a hidden killing intent also quietly arrived.

"Everyone has entered the secret realm. The most outstanding young talents of the human race have gathered here. The high-end combat power is all outside the secret realm, and the defense inside is almost zero."

"The perfect opportunity has finally arrived!"
