The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 104 The people in the city are truly filthy! A new assessment

The guillotine fell heavily, striking Chai Yu's Yin-Yang Blade Qi directly.

The Yin-Yang Blade Qi, which should have been unstoppable, was struck by the guillotine but instead of being severed, it emitted a painful groan.

"Snap—!"

With a crisp sound, the Yin-Yang Blade Qi shattered completely, and Chai Yu, who was connected to it, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

[Advancement Condition 3 for Master of Hundred Weapons: Personally defeat a Sequence 6 Transcendent in the physical realm (1/1) - Completed]

"~" Lu Yan let out a long sigh of relief. The execution ground still retained the ability to summon military strategists, thankfully.

After glancing at Chai Yu and seeing that the other party had no intention of fighting anymore, Lu Yan walked to the stone table, picked up the Primal Potion, opened the bottle cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

[Awakening of the Primal Sequence failed, but Primal Power *1 was gained!]

"Failed again."

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed that I failed to awaken a new primordial sequence.

Fortunately, there's still the guaranteed Primal Power, so it's not bad.

Upon seeing Lu Yan drink the Primal Potion, Chai Yu revealed a smile.

The next instant, the stone door, which had remained motionless until now, suddenly lit up with a bright light, and the runes on the door seemed to come alive, detaching themselves from the stone door and swimming towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and immediately dodged, but the runes were like maggots clinging to his bones, impossible to shake off.

Even just getting a little closer, Lu Yan felt his power being restricted.

Especially the Blood Shaman, whose subtitles kept popping up to express its resistance.

Is this stone gate resisting the original sequence?

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. Even this was a scheme. The people in the city were indeed filthy.

[Progress in analyzing extraterrestrial runes +1%, Seal Intent improved!]

【Sealing Aura: LV2】

The display of the sealing intent on the panel changed, and Lu Yan also felt that he had a new understanding of this extraterrestrial power.

With a thought, the runes that had landed on him instantly became incredibly obedient, converging towards his right hand under his guidance.

At that very moment, Chai Yu suddenly darted out and rushed straight towards the stone gate.

Thank you.

Chai Yu's face was full of mockery, but a trace of sadness could be seen deep in his eyes.

"Thank you? No need to be so polite."

Lu Yan grinned. He suddenly sprang up and rushed behind Chai Yu, then pressed Chai Yu's head heavily to the ground with his right hand.

Chai Yu instinctively tried to struggle, but found that all of his extraordinary characteristics were being suppressed.

However, relying solely on his physical strength, he was unable to break free from Lu Yan's suppression.

Chai Yu's face was full of disbelief. His sequence and cultivation method were perfectly matched, and he had also taken some special medicines.

How could Lu Yan, an ordinary person from a background of refugees, possibly suppress himself physically?

Lu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Chai Yu's thoughts. He casually tossed Chai Yu behind him and then slowly walked to the stone gate.

With a new understanding of the essence of sealing, Lu Yan injected all the absorbed runes into Chai Yu's body.

Without the boost of extraordinary abilities, even though Chai Yu's physical body is very strong, he still cannot be his opponent.

Because of him, we are stronger!

Without the enhancement of runic energy, the stone gate no longer appeared special.

If I had to say something, it would only be his enormous reminder.

But for Lu Yan, this meant nothing at all.

With a gentle push, the stone door burst open, revealing a magnificent underground palace.

Inside that underground palace stood the candidates who had passed the first round of selection.

Before Lu Yan could even step inside, a dozen or so criminals suddenly sprang into action and rushed toward the outside of the stone gate.

Their mission to stop them failed, and they will continue to be imprisoned in this dark and hopeless place.

But now they have a chance to leave, and although the chance is slim, they are still unwilling to miss it.

Before they could even pass over Lu Yan's head, their bodies suddenly swelled up and burst like balloons.

Blood Shaman - Blood Prayer!

[The Blood Shaman, seeing the river of blood, is pleased; progress +5%]

As the land was being prepared, a rain of blood fell within the underground cave, separating Lu Yan from the others like a dividing line.

Under the watchful eyes of countless criminals and examinees, Lu Yan slowly stepped through the stone gate and entered the underground palace.

"Lu Yan!"

Seeing that Lu Yan had successfully passed the selection, Yao Qing couldn't help but show her joy and cheered.

According to the information she received from Luo Lin, the source tracing project will undergo major changes starting this year.

Both the level of support and the methods of education will undergo tremendous changes, and the benefits will be astonishing.

She had already planned that if anything happened to Lu Yan, she would pester her grandfather to forcibly drag Lu Yan into the hospital.

After all, that's how she herself became a specially admitted student.

Yes, that's what we'll do!

On the other side, Xiao Yiren and the other two also smiled and nodded slightly to Lu Yan.

However, after sensing Lu Yan's aura, the group of people all looked surprised.

How long has it been? He's already advanced to Sequence 6?

It seems that Yao Xiangyang was right after all; the trial approach was indeed a good fit for Lu Yan.

No, it should be said to be extremely high!

I just hope that Lu Yan won't get stuck on trivial matters like the second and sixth judges, and can't stay still all day.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiren couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Judging from Lu Yan's consistent behavior, he is exactly the same as the second presiding judge.

As the other party's grand-disciple, Lu Yan has shown such talent that the Second Judge will likely not let him go.

Where some are happy, others are naturally sad.

Seeing that Lu Yan had passed the test, Chu Xuan and his group all looked rather grim.

They had originally planned many methods, and even arranged for Chai Yu to intercept them via a new route.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yan was still able to push open the stone door after taking the primordial potion, which was quite surprising.

But soon, Chu Xuan adjusted his mindset, and his confident expression returned to his face.

However, passing the entrance screening is only the beginning; more tests are yet to come.

With Lu Yan passing through, the stone gate was completely closed, cutting off any possibility for the rest of the group to pass the test.

Then, Wan Zhuliu, who had been sitting upright at the very front of the underground palace, stood up.

He glanced at the three hundred candidates inside the underground palace and announced loudly, "Congratulations to everyone for passing the preliminary selection and entering here."

"In the past, you would already be students of the Primal Academy by now, but not this year."

As soon as Wan Zhuliu said this, the underground palace was in an uproar. Only a few people who knew the inside story remained unmoved. However, Wan Zhuliu obviously had no intention of explaining and continued, "You will stay in this underground palace tonight. Find your own rooms and take the identity tokens in your rooms to participate in the next round of assessment tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Wan Zhuliu quickly left with a group of examinees and special admissions students.

"Lu Yan, let's take our time and have some fun."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow at Lu Yan and led a group of people away quickly.

The remaining candidates walked into the depths of the underground palace in twos and threes.

Lu Yan, however, was all alone, with no one willing to ally with him.

Even without Chu Xuan's connection, they were not very willing to communicate with Lu Yan.

An extraordinary individual who grows up through killing has a higher probability of becoming mutated.

Who knows when this guy might lose control of his sequence and become a mutant? With his power, they'd all be doomed.

Lu Yan didn't care about this at all. He glanced at the stone door behind him and strode into the underground palace.

Before he even got close, Lu Yan could hear sounds of fighting coming from inside.

"There are only two hundred rooms, but we have over three hundred people. How are we supposed to live here!"

"Idiot, haven't you realized yet? This is also part of the assessment!"

"Only those who successfully occupy a dormitory and keep their identification badge inside will be eligible to participate in tomorrow's assessment."

"Damn it, you can say whatever you want, but don't touch my identity token!"

Chaos reigned in the dormitory area, with many people having just managed to grab their ID tags only to have them snatched away by others.

Only the positions of a few strong individuals remained untouched throughout.

Seeing this, Lu Yan understood and went into the nearest room.

In such competition, anyone who could still occupy a room was no pushover, but upon seeing that it was Lu Yan who had arrived, he obediently gave it up.

They had all witnessed the battle in front of the stone gate. Lu Yan could easily slaughter Chai Yu, let alone him.

But after giving up the room, he vented all his resentment on the other people.

-

After closing the door, Lu Yan finally had time to sort out his current gains.

The Executioner promotion sequence is 6: Executioner. This is definitely a huge upgrade for him.

The next one is the Primal Power, which can have a transformative effect on any sequence it is used on.

However, the biggest gain was the improvement in the sealing intent.

Although it's only LV2, it's already able to temporarily seal Chai Yu, and that's the result of analyzing 1% of the runes on the panel!

If it continues to upgrade, this sealing intent might become his biggest trump card.

The reason is simple: the ability of the Sealed Realm to restrain the extraordinary Sequence is indeed quite formidable.

Suddenly, Lu Yan couldn't help but think of something.

Given this targeting of the sequence and the source of the sealing intent, could that extraterrestrial civilization be an enemy?

The compass that Muyun Technology obtained —

Thinking of the compass's usual abilities, Lu Yan had a bad feeling.

But just then, a subtitle popped up in front of him.

[Dr. Alchemy has successfully developed a new Sequence 9 potion – Soldier!]

[Obtained a new Sequence 8 potion: Sergeant Iron Lance!]

[Obtained a new Sequence 7 potion: Golden Armor Captain!]

"They actually researched three sequence potions directly—no, this is a complete set?!"

Lu Yan was shocked. This wasn't some research on new potions; the alchemist had simply pioneered a completely new path.

However, Lu Yan quickly understood.

This new path was successfully opened by referencing a large amount of information obtained from Muyun and finally combining it with the sharp powder from the puppet messenger's horns.

Simply put, this is just one branch path.

However, it can be considered a success nonetheless.
