“Is this truly the tomb of a sage?”
Chu Ting asked doubtfully, "If it were truly the tomb of a sage, why would it be like this?"
"There's absolutely no mistake!" Li Ziming stated directly, "If it weren't the tomb of a sage, how could it possess such a powerful aura!"
"Since you're so sure, why don't you try going down?"
Chu Ting said with a smile, "If there's any supreme treasure, you can also obtain it first."
"This..."
Li Ziming hesitated, even more so afraid to venture in. Although he spoke with certainty, as the young master of the Li family, he still cherished his own life.
"Since you all aren't going in, then we'll go first!"
After several men finished speaking, they charged inside. In this spiritual realm, any place with support was filled with people, and this was the tomb of a sage. Those who entered first would surely obtain supreme treasures.
Seeing someone rush in, others quickly followed, not wanting to delay at all. They knew very well that opportunities came only once, and if they missed this one, they wouldn't know when the next would come.
"Uncle Wu, let's go in too!"
Chu Ting said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even our Yun family has never obtained a sacred artifact!"
"If it were truly the tomb of a sage, how could there be such a small opening?"
Uncle Wu said with a wry smile, "Furthermore, if it were truly the tomb of a sage, it probably wouldn't be our turn."
"Uncle Wu, do you mean there's a trick to this?" Chu Ting frowned.
"No matter what, let's go in first!" Uncle Wu waved his hand.
Chu Ting nodded slightly and, without any hesitation, stepped directly into the cave.
Uncle Wu intended to follow but found that no matter how he tried to enter, he couldn't get into the cave.
"A formation!"
Uncle Wu was slightly startled, and only then did he realize that all those who registered to enter the North Sea Academy had registration tokens. Only those holding tokens could enter this cave.
In other words, this was not the tomb of a sage, but a test by the North Sea Academy for its many students.
Lu Fan and the others also walked in. As soon as they reached the cave, a voice echoed from within.
"The North Sea Academy's disciple recruitment assessment begins! In this cave, there are a total of 50 spiritual pearls. Only by obtaining one spiritual pearl can one enter the North Sea Academy!"
The ancient voice sounded, instantly exciting the disciples present.
"So it's the North Sea Academy's assessment. It seems they're serious this time!"
"The North Sea Academy is indeed extraordinary, making even the assessment so mysterious."
Everyone was quite excited, their conversations constant.
Lu Fan, however, frowned slightly, "There are only 50 spiritual pearls, and there are hundreds of people in this cave. Are they going to make us kill each other here?"
"If that's the case, we must be extra cautious!"
Long Yi spoke, "The spiritual realm is too chaotic. A slight mistake can lead to endless trouble."
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He naturally understood, but the North Sea Academy's actions left him somewhat puzzled.
"Chu Ting, let's team up!"
Li Ziming said, "Our family guards haven't come. In the entire cave, only the two of us know each other. As long as we team up, we will definitely be at the top among everyone!"
"I don't want to team up with you!"
Chu Ting rolled her eyes and looked at Lu Fan, "Let's team up!"
Lu Fan frowned. He was somewhat displeased with Chu Ting's actions.
Back in North Sea City, she had caused him all sorts of trouble, and now she wanted to team up with him.
"We don't want to team up with you!"
Long Yi chuckled, "I think it's better not to. We're not the same kind of people to begin with."
"If you don't want to team up, fine. Do I really need you?"
Chu Ting said angrily. As the eldest daughter of the Chu family, she had never been treated like this before.
"Chu Ting, if they don't team up with you, I will!" Li Ziming said repeatedly.
"Who wants to team up with you!" Chu Ting cursed, "I can get a spiritual pearl by myself."
As they were talking, a scream rang out. The sound was chilling and extremely terrifying.
The students present were greatly frightened. Such a scream clearly indicated that someone had met a violent end.
"I forgot to tell everyone that there are many mechanisms in this cave. If you're not careful, you might lose your life." The ancient voice sounded again.
Everyone immediately became vigilant. They thought it was just a normal assessment, but now it seemed otherwise. If they were not careful, they might perish on the spot.
Chu Ting was also completely frightened. She had been pampered and willful since childhood, always having everything done for her, and had never experienced danger.
Lu Fan, however, was very calm. Back on Earth, such crises were everywhere. Now that he was at the Great Spirit Master realm, he didn't expect to encounter much danger in this cave.
"This cave is full of dangers. How about we form a team?"
Han Feng walked over and looked at Lu Fan.
"Of course!" Lu Fan smiled slightly.
Long Yi also nodded slightly. He didn't reject Han Feng's joining.
After searching the cave for a long time, they didn't find any spiritual pearls, which made them frown.
"Are you sure there are spiritual pearls inside? Why can't I sense them?" Long Yi asked.
"Even if there are spiritual pearls, they won't be easily sensed."
Han Feng said, "Otherwise, this assessment would be too simple."
"I quit, I apply to quit!"
Seeing a man next to him instantly pierced by a sword, and not even knowing where the sword came from, several men collapsed and hurriedly shouted.
"If you wish to quit, you may return the way you came, and you will also lose your eligibility to enter the North Sea Academy!" The ancient voice sounded, still as calm as ever.
Throughout the cave, some were bitten to death by wild beasts, while others died in traps. More and more people felt fear.
Chu Ting continued to walk forward, her body trembling. Although she was at the peak of the Spirit Master realm, she had never been alone and was naturally very timid.
Hiss...
Directly in front of Chu Ting, a giant python flicked its tongue, looking at Chu Ting with faint coldness in its eyes.
"Snake... there's a snake!"
Chu Ting shouted and panicked, constantly retreating.
The python, without hesitation, lunged to swallow Chu Ting. But in that instant, a powerful spiritual force surged, killing the python from a distance.
Chu Ting reacted and looked back. The person who made the move was Lu Fan.
Han Feng was slightly surprised. He had also intended to act earlier but was too late.
What surprised him was how strong Lu Fan's spiritual power was, capable of killing the python from a distance. This was not something an ordinary Spirit Master could do.
"Thank... thank you!"
