Kill the fourth-level monster overlord, Hou Zhanwei!
As time passed little by little, the young men and women were eager to start, as if they couldn't wait.
Soon, the assessment began, and two Outer Courtyard Elders appeared, standing in the Void Realm.
After the Elder rattled on for a while, he began to explain the assessment content, precautions, and rewards.
The content of the assessment was the same as in previous years.
The academy would throw the Disciples into the academy's Secret Realm, which contained Yao Beasts raised by the academy, ranging from first to fourth-tier.
The assessment was based on who killed more Yao Beasts and earned more points.
The top thirty would not only receive generous rewards but also be able to enter the Inner Courtyard.
When the Assessment Elder announced the rewards, and everyone heard that the first place could Cultivate in the Divine Pool, everyone's faces showed excitement.
The Divine Pool was not simple; it could help people Breakthrough their cultivation and strengthen their Physical Body, among other effects.
It was a place countless Disciples dreamed of.
The Elder distributed a token to everyone; this token would record in real-time how many Yao Beasts each person killed and how many points they earned.
As long as one crushed the token, they could withdraw from the Secret Realm early, which also meant forfeiture!
As if remembering something, an Elder added, "That's right! There's a Demon King in the Secret Realm. If you have nothing important to do, do not provoke him. Over the years, many naive Disciples have died in his belly!"
"Yes!"
All the Disciples were somewhat horrified.
Only Lin Dong's eyes flickered with an inexplicable look.
"Hmm!"
The Assessment Elder nodded and announced the start of the assessment.
The two Elders exchanged glances, waved their big hands, and formed mysterious hand seals.
As the hand seals circulated, a terrifying aura revived between heaven and earth, as if an ancient Vicious Beast was awakening. Finally, the two unleashed a terrifying beam of light.
The next moment, at the landing point of the light beam, in front of everyone, a huge vortex appeared, which was the passage to the Secret Realm.
"Go!"
"The Secret Realm assessment will last two and a half days!"
"By then, no matter what, as long as you hold your token, you will be teleported out!"
"Yes!"
Following the Elder's command, the Disciples, who had long been impatient, rushed into the Secret Realm like a swarm of bees.
Before leaving, Bai Han didn't forget to glance at Lin Dong, his lips moving: "I will kill you!"
Lin Dong ignored him, unhurriedly, and also stepped into the vortex.
Soon, hundreds of Disciples disappeared, leaving only the two Elders and some Disciples on the spectator stand.
Stepping into the vortex, Lin Dong only felt a dizzying sensation. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in another world.
The passage teleported randomly.
Lin Dong appeared alone on a vast grassland.
The Spiritual Qi here was rich, the grass and trees were lush, and giant ancient trees covered the sky.
From time to time, he could hear the roars of other Vicious Beasts from the jungle, shaking the heavens and earth, like a primeval forest!
"Roar!"
Just as Lin Dong was in a daze, from the two-meter-high dense grass, a black shadow suddenly flashed out. Its speed was extremely fast, carrying a fierce and intimidating power.
Sharp claws ripped through the air, striking towards his neck.
"Boom!"
In a flash, Lin Dong had no time to react. He clenched his fist and fiercely slammed it towards the attacking black shadow, his entire Physical Body's strength erupting.
"Bang! Ow..."
A heavy, muffled sound came from the ground.
Lin Dong saw a three-meter-tall, fierce Demon Wolves in front of him, lying on the ground in pain. A terrifying bloody hole was sunken in its abdomen, oozing blood, and it was baring its fangs at him.
In its eyes, there was still some fear and confusion.
It seemed to be thinking, are the Human Race of this generation all so strong? In previous years, these Human Race were so weak that they could only become its food, with no power to resist, let alone injure it.
"As soon as I entered, a Yao Beast delivered itself to me?"
"It's even a fourth-tier Early Stage Wind Wolf!"
"A Yao Beast comparable to the Early Stage Hua Hai Realm! It's considered a overlord among the Yao Beasts here. I actually sent it flying and heavily injured it with one punch?"
Lin Dong was stunned, "Am I that fierce?"
His Realm Breakthrough was too fast, and he had never fully understood his own strength. Even when he killed nine Core Formation cultivators earlier, it was like chopping melons and vegetables.
This was his first true full-power strike.
A full-power Physical Body attack actually heavily injured a fourth-tier Early Stage Demon Wolves.
The Secret Realm was mainly for Disciples to gain experience.
Most of them were first-tier and second-tier Yao Beasts, there were also many third-tier Yao Beasts, and fourth-tier Yao Beasts were regional overlords!
They were considered the strongest existence in the Secret Realm, with at most one fourth-tier Yao Beast overlord per clan.
But right now, Lin Dong casually threw a punch and heavily injured a fourth-tier Demon Wolves overlord. If outsiders saw this scene, it would surely cause a sensation!
"Want to leave? No way!"
While Lin Dong was stunned, the Demon Wolves seemed to have figured something out, turned its head and left. Lin Dong used the Ji Ni Tai Mei Step to chase after it, landing a fierce punch on its abdomen.
"Howl!"
The Demon Wolves flew backward, whimpering in pain, using the impact to move further away. Coupled with the Wind Wolf's inherent speed, it quickly disappeared from Lin Dong's sight.
"Pfft!"
"Why are you running!"
The next moment, a blue cold light flashed, and the Demon Wolves's head flew high, blood splattering across the sky, the treasured sword shining with fierce power.
"Not much of a challenge!"
Lin Dong was a bit helpless. He hadn't even used the Tenfold True Dragon Fist yet.
He originally wanted to engage in a close-quarters fight with the Demon Wolves, but the Demon Wolves wanted to run, so he had no choice but to use the Liu Yun Swordplay.
He felt that with the Liu Yun Swordplay and Sword Intent, he could probably fight even a Peak Hua Hai Realm cultivator. He finally had some understanding of his own strength.
He decided that after the assessment, he would go kill his way to the Bai family!
He was just afraid that the Bai family might have a Tiangang Realm expert guarding it!
To be safe, it was better to Breakthrough to the Hua Hai Realm in the Divine Pool first. He believed that once he Breakthrough to the Hua Hai Realm, he would not fear a Tiangang Realm expert. Even if the Bai family had some hidden power, he would cut it down with one sword!
"Extra meal!"
"I left in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to eat enough!"
Lin Dong came to the Demon Wolves, licking his lips: "You delivered yourself to me, if I don't eat you, who will I eat!"
Lin Dong did not soften his heart towards this bloodthirsty Demon Wolves. If he hadn't been strong, he would have probably become its meal long ago.
"I haven't eaten the meat of a fourth-tier Yao Beast before. I heard it contains extremely rich energy essence."
Lin Dong couldn't help but drool.
Then, he skillfully bled it, washed the pot, boiled water, removed the fur, and went through the whole process, not forgetting to set up a barbecue grill.
He felt that he had to finish eating quickly and go find Skinny Monkey!
The Secret Realm was too dangerous, and Skinny Monkey, being in the Chongmai Realm, would probably have difficulty protecting himself.
It could also be said that Lin Dong was unlucky; he encountered a fourth-tier Demon Wolves as soon as he entered. If it were anyone else, they would only be a good fellow eighteen years later.
...
"Buzz!"
At the same time, on the square.
The two Assessment Elders radiated immense divine light, forming mysterious and profound hand seals.
Only an ancient mirror was seen suspended in the Void Realm, emitting vast divine light, illuminating a stretch of the sky.
The next moment, everyone could see a huge light screen appearing in the Void Realm, showing what was happening in the Secret Realm.
"Let's see what's happening in the Secret Realm?"
The light screen displayed a large main picture and hundreds of small pictures, showing everything that was happening to the Disciples in the Secret Realm. They were either killing Yao Beasts or on their way to kill Yao Beasts.
"Who looks good?"
"Let's look at Bai Han!"
"The number one person in the Outer Courtyard, the Disciple most likely to win first place!"
Not only the two Assessment Elders, but also many Disciples called out to watch Bai Han.
There were over a hundred Disciples observing, most of them being Disciples for the next assessment, coming to watch to gain insight for their own assessment next year.
"Buzz!"
The large picture in the center of the light screen showed everything that was happening to Bai Han in the Secret Realm. At this moment, he had casually killed two second-tier Yao Beasts.
Subsequently, Bai Han and several other Disciples killed two third-tier Yao Beasts, and his points were likely far ahead of everyone else.
The cool scenes made many female Disciples scream.
Lin Han picked up a communication jade slip and said, "If you find Lin Dong, send me a message!"
On the other side, many voices came: "Received, received! Brother Han received!"
One voice hesitated: "Brother Han! Lin Dong isn't here, but I did find Hou Zhan, who often follows Lin Dong!"
After a moment of silence, Bai Han asked, "Alright, where is he now? I'll go over immediately!"
