68: Chapter 68 Lin Feng's Fifth-Order Identity Revealed, the Entire Audience in an Uproar!
"Very good."
Elder Long looked at the impassioned freshman phalanx and nodded with satisfaction.
Although everyone had stopped at the third level at most, at least this spirit of being unwilling to admit defeat was still quite abundant.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Ze strode out of the ranks, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he plunged into the gate of the Starry Sky Tower.
At the top of the Starry Sky Tower hung a massive holographic screen.
This screen did not show live footage, but only displayed the challenger's progress.
Not long after Gu Ze entered, two clear characters immediately lit up on the screen.
In front was a blue "3," followed by a green "1."
The blue "3" represented Gu Ze's Tier 3 Deity status, and the green "1" indicated that he was challenging the first level.
In less than a minute, the green "1" jumped directly to "2."
This meant that Gu Ze had won his first battle and successfully entered the second level.
However, before the students below could cheer, this green "2" instantly turned into a glaring deep red.
Immediately after, the simulation pod door popped open.
Gu Ze walked out of the tower, looking bedraggled with his face full of despair, and retreated to his original position, dejected.
The three thousand-plus freshmen in the audience all gasped in unison.
A dignified Tier 3 genius couldn't even pass the second level!
The difficulty of this assessment was simply outrageous!
"Hehe, everyone is a newcomer who has just enrolled, so it is normal to achieve such results."
Elder Long looked at these rookies who were severely hit, and the smile on his face deepened.
Those who could stand in this place were all the proud children of heaven from various parts of the Great Xia Alliance.
In their respective hometowns, they were all figures who were held in high esteem, and they all carried a bit of arrogance in their bones.
Today's show of force was meant to crush the spirit of these young people.
To let them understand what it means that there is always someone better, and there is always a sky beyond the sky.
Only by crushing their arrogant mindset could these troublemakers honestly stay in the classroom to conduct research during the next four years of university life.
"Is this problem that hard to solve? Let me test the waters!"
Seeing Gu Ze return in defeat, a burly boy immediately walked out of the crowd, his face full of defiance.
He walked to the foot of the tower in a few steps and went straight in.
A blue "4" immediately popped up on the holographic screen.
It was actually a Tier 4 Deity! No wonder he was so confident.
The strength of a Tier 4, even among the past freshmen of Starry Sky University, absolutely belonged to the top tier of the pyramid.
Following that, the green numbers behind began to jump rapidly.
1, 2...
"Lin Feng, this broken tower simply doesn't leave a way for people to survive."
Gu Ze leaned over to Lin Feng's side with a bitter face and complained in a low voice, "The tower is entirely filled with high-purity Starry Sky Divine Dragons!"
"All Divine Dragons?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Absolutely true! In the space of the first level, there were several Tier 3 Azure Dragons crouching."
"The second level is completely replaced by Tier 4 dragons! As for the higher levels..."
Gu Ze had no chance to witness the scenes of the higher levels.
Because as soon as he showed his head on the second level, he was instantly killed by a group of Tier 4 Azure Dragons.
Just in the time it took for the two to whisper, the burly Tier 4 man who had just entered had already killed his way to the third level with unstoppable force.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
After a few minutes, the green "3" at the top of the tower turned red with a bang.
This represented that this Tier 4 top-tier student had also failed.
Subsequently, the burly man walked out of the gate, swearing, with a face as ugly as it could be.
"Damn it! It's really hard to fight!"
At this moment, the entire central square was completely silent.
The air was so quiet that one could even hear everyone's heartbeat.
Even a Tier 4 Deity couldn't break through the third level!
The principal had just laid down harsh words that to get a graduation certificate, the minimum threshold was to pass the fifth level!
Some freshmen who originally thought they were peerless geniuses were now completely intimidated, their necks shrunk long.
In their own hometown territory, they were indeed the number one in the city who could call the wind and rain.
But in this pond of gods in the imperial capital, everyone had become the bottom of the barrel.
The effect of the show of force was perfectly achieved.
Elder Long nodded slightly.
"Are there any other students who want to go up and practice?"
Elder Long's voice was like a booming bell, but below it was complete silence, with no one answering.
"Since everyone wants to rest, let's distribute the school badges directly. This is the exclusive credential for you Starry Sky students."
"Wait a moment, let me go practice."
Just in this dead silence, a calm voice broke the silence.
"Still dare to go and die?"
"Didn't you see that the Tier 4 big shot failed at the third level?"
"There really are iron-headed kids these days who aren't afraid of losing face."
Hearing the commotion, thousands of freshmen first let out a chorus of boos, then turned their heads in unison to look.
"It was me who spoke just now."
Lin Feng stepped out from the crowd, his expression without a ripple.
In an instant, thousands of eyes were all gathered on him.
"Hiss! Isn't this the fierce person who won the overall championship in the major exam!"
"Holy crap! It really is him! The peerless monster who cleared the national unified exam!"
"I've seen him on the broadcast! The scene where he swallowed a Tier 4 Azure Dragon in one bite was simply incomparably cool!"
At the beginning, everyone hadn't noticed Lin Feng's existence.
Now that they recognized his appearance, the atmosphere in the square instantly turned 180 degrees.
The contemptuous gazes that originally wanted to see a joke quickly turned into awe and enthusiastic expectation.
After all, the reputation of clearing the major exam with a perfect score was simply too oppressive.
For top-tier powerhouses, everyone would maintain awe in their bones.
"Lin Feng, are you really planning to challenge the tower?" Gu Ze asked in surprise.
"Lin Feng... it's very dangerous in this tower, you must be careful."
Tang You also leaned over and whispered a reminder.
The girl completely believed in Lin Feng's strength, this was just pure concern.
In fact, Lin Feng only wanted to develop quietly at first.
His core task right now was to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield to scavenge for elemental energy cores.
But just during the gap in the principal's lecture, a system prompt suddenly popped up in his mind!
"Ding! Radar scan complete! Detected that the interior of the Starry Sky Tower contains a massive amount of chaos purple qi!"
This prompt sound made Lin Feng instantly invigorated.
A few days ago, in order to help the Phoenix rush to Tier 6, the stock of chaos purple qi had long been exhausted.
If he couldn't replenish this stuff, the divine beasts under his command wouldn't be able to level up in the future.
Just at this critical juncture, the system actually detected that the tower contained the treasure he urgently needed.
Now, Lin Feng had to go in and take a look no matter what.
"Oh? You also have an interest in going in to play around?"
The silver-haired old man in mid-air cast his gaze toward Lin Feng, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.
The two had actually dealt with each other long ago.
On the day of the major exam, Elder Long not only used his divine sense to check the water meter of the Chaos Territory, but also very generously fed a Tier 6 Divine Dragon to the Taotie as a snack.
If Elder Long had intervened at that time, Lin Feng wouldn't even have had a chance to resist.
Having received the principal's tacit approval, Lin Feng strode toward the Starry Sky Tower.
This ancient tower was hundreds of meters high and was divided into nine levels in total.
Each level encapsulated a completely independent different-dimensional space.
Lin Feng just stepped into the tower.
A extremely conspicuous blue number popped up on the holographic screen outside: 5!
"Tier 5! It's actually a Tier 5 Deity!"
"My God!"
A sound of gasping for air rang out in the square again.
A Tier 5 Deity! This was the graduation standard explicitly stipulated by Starry Sky University!
Good heavens.
The opening ceremony hadn't even finished, and your combat power had already met the graduation requirements!
How is this supposed to let others play!
Of course, reaching Tier 5 was only one of the hard indicators.
The most important part was still to pass the fifth level of the tower.
