80: Second round of assessment

Time quickly passed.

Due swept his gaze across the square and announced loudly, "Attention, all Gengsi Class personnel! The second round of assessment is about to begin!"

Everyone broke out of their meditative rest, stood up, and awaited the announcement of the specific rules.

Before Due could even begin to explain the rules, Huan Shen's clear voice suddenly rang out, "Where is Wang Jun?"

Wang Ruzhu was startled, then immediately raised her hand and replied, "My younger brother found it uninteresting, so he left."

Huan Shen turned sideways, looking at the respectful Wang Ruzhu beside him, his black and white eyes making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Understood."

Huan Shen said this, then looked at Due, signaling that he could continue.

Due also nodded, raising his hand, and a black Spiritual Qi gate suddenly descended upon the square.

The moment the Spiritual Qi gate opened, a pungent, foul odor, a mixture of excrement and blood, wafted out.

And this time, the smell was even stronger than the smell they encountered when they left Xuanyuan City!

It was clear how many Demons were inside!

Some people who had barely made it through the first round already had changed expressions.

Due continued to announce loudly, "In the second round, after you enter this gate, each of you will enter a separate space. In that space, an endless stream of Demons will appear, and you must stay in this space for twenty-four hours!"

"You only need to kill three hundred Demons, regardless of their Rank!"

With that, from Due's right hand, streaks of blue light flew down and landed in everyone's hands.

Everyone looked down and saw a chip-like object in their hands.

"You have used this item before. As long as you attach it to your weapon, it will directly record the number of Demons you slay. Once the count reaches three hundred, it will give you a prompt! The highest Demon Rank inside is Tier 3!"

"If you kill three hundred, you just need to find a way to survive there. As for how to survive, or what methods to use, that is your business! After twenty-four hours, you will return here."

Due scanned the crowd, "Any more questions?"

The rules had been explained in great detail, so naturally, no one had anything to ask.

Lu Ze drew his sword and attached the chip to the blade.

With a 'hum,' a blue ripple enveloped the entire sword, then vanished instantly, and the chip was completely absorbed onto the sword.

Everyone else also installed their chips.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Due directly announced, "The second round of assessment begins!"

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Ze's figure suddenly burst forth, rushing into the Spiritual Qi gate!

Even Due was momentarily stunned, "Why so fast? I haven't even started the timer yet."

The others also followed him in.

Due took out his phone and started a twenty-four-hour countdown.

The moment Lu Ze entered the Spiritual Qi gate, the darkness in his eyes suddenly changed!

Before the light could fully expand, he saw several fierce and malevolent faces appear, which were clearly Demons!

The Spiritual Qi on Lu Ze's body suddenly surged, and stars covered his entire being!

He saw his sword suddenly sweep out, Spiritual Qi enveloping the sword as it cut through the air.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Several Demons met their end at this moment!

Without any pause, countless Demons swarmed around him, each vying for position, their faces ferocious, wanting to swallow Lu Ze whole!

The stars around Lu Ze also dimmed at this moment, and dozens of Saber Qi slashed out, killing dozens of Demons that approached Lu Ze!

Such a clearing only created a momentary gap around Lu Ze, but in less than a second, more Demons closed in on him!

It was as if these Demons were endless, boundless, and could never be completely killed!

Lu Ze's lips curved into a smile, and his heart bloomed with joy!

This is exactly what he wanted!

This assessment was truly excellent!

With such a continuous onslaught of Demons, Lu Ze didn't need to actively seek them out; he could just mindlessly kill them!

Lu Ze was already estimating in his mind; after twenty-four hours, he might even have enough Demon points ready to enter the Major Achievement of the Fourth Rank cultivation!

"Stingray!"

Lu Ze let out a low growl, and Stingray, hidden within Lu Ze's clothes, immediately revealed its lightning-ball-like body.

From the blade of the sword in Lu Ze's hand, lightning stirred and moved!

"Myriad Might!"

A shout suddenly burst forth, and Stingray leaped into the air in an instant. Six bolts of lightning separated from its lightning-ball-like body, crashing down from all directions and sealing off an area!

"Lightning! Saber!"

As Lu Ze uttered the last two words, the lightning on the sword paused for an instant, then suddenly expanded, actually doubling the size of the original sword!

"Whoosh!"

A fierce wind whipped up, Lu Ze's clothes moved without a breeze, and blue light continuously emanated from his eyes, with killing intent rising within them!

"Slash!"

"Boom!"

Lu Ze moved in an instant, the sword cutting across, and several Saber Qi wrapped in lightning slashed out wildly in all directions!

"Puff puff puff puff!"

Immediately, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Within the lightning barrier, all the Demons died under the Saber Qi, and the Demons' blood once again washed over the ground.

The lightning gradually receded from the sword. Lu Ze stood with his sword, his black clothes repeatedly stained with blood, Demon blood flowing down his face, and the killing intent in his eyes showed no signs of diminishing; instead, it intensified, as if a God of Slaughter had descended!

Because of Stingray's lightning barrier around Lu Ze, the Demons were temporarily blocked several meters away from him.

"Ding!"

A pleasant female voice came from the sword.

"Congratulations, you have killed three hundred Demons. Please establish a safe shelter to ensure your safety and wait until the time is up to return to Xuanyuan City!"

Lu Ze sneered, shook his sword to flick off the blood, and his eyes constantly searched the Demon horde. He quickly locked onto a dozen Tier 3 Demons.

"Stingray, seal off this area and wait for my command!"

"Yes, Master!"

The Spiritual Qi under Lu Ze's feet swirled, and he actually actively left the lightning shelter!

"Whoosh!"

Lu Ze's figure had already appeared before a Tier 3 Demon's face. Stars around him rose and dimmed, and lightning lay dormant around him!

The Demon seemed to sense something, turning its head slightly, only to see several Crimson Flame Seals already surrounding it from behind, completely cutting off its retreat!

"Roar!"

The Demon let out a low growl, its purple eyes fixed on Lu Ze, its gaping maw opening wide as it lunged at Lu Ze to bite!

"Good timing!"

Lu Ze's various techniques instantly closed in simultaneously!

"Puff!"

With a muffled sound, the sword plunged into the Tier 3 Demon's head, digging out its Demon Core!

With a forceful heave, Lu Ze suddenly lifted the body of the Tier 3 Demon, which was as large as two wild oxen, and threw it towards the lightning area!

Stingray instantly understood Lu Ze's meaning, precisely controlling the lightning area to allow the Tier 3 Demon's body to pass through without letting other Demons in.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the Tier 3 Demon's body crashed into the lightning area!

And at this moment!

Lu Ze's figure had already arrived beside another Tier 3 Demon, the sword gleaming with cold light, aiming directly for the Demon's head.

"Your turn!"
