Qī Bǎo Líng Lóng Tǎ, also built by a master of Qī Xuán Gǔ, uses materials from outside Tiān Yùn Guó, unknown what they are made of, the whole body is as crystal clear as jade.

  Linglong Tower has a total of seven layers, each layer is engraved with intricate arrays, and it is also an illusion array.

  However, this illusion array is different from the one on the Jade Platform. The Jade Platforms illusion array was just an illusion, whereas this Linglong Towers illusion array is actually a killing array.

  The Illusory Killing Formation can kill people through illusions. Those trapped in it think they are dead, and indeed they really die.

  Of course, Linglong Tower is just an assessment and wont really kill people. Once you fail, you will automatically exit the illusion array.

  Inside Linglong Tower, you cant use treasured equipment or armor, only ordinary weapons. Everything depends on your own abilities now.

  As time passed, the number of people remaining on the Jade Stage gradually decreased. One by one, the losers were eliminated and sent out, with six or seven of the original hundred already being eliminated, including even a warrior who had achieved the third level of martial arts.

  When he was sent out, the martial artist with a triple cultivation base looked dispirited. This was already his third time participating in the Seven Mysteries Martial Mansion assessment. He hadnt expected to still fail. He was already eighteen years old, and this time was his last chance.

  It wasnt until nearly half a watch had passed that the second person on the jade platform finally opened their eyes. The man let out a long breath, his face pale as he stood up, his back already drenched with sweat.

  This man is Wang Chenfeng, who has a top-grade innate talent of the fourth rank.

  He stood up and turned around, wanting to find the robust young man who had surpassed him in the first round of assessment and Lin Ming. However, he only saw the robust young man with a distorted face, struggling hard in the illusion, but did not see Lin Ming. A hint of proud smile appeared on Wang Yanfengs mouth.

  However, when he was invited to the rest room by the staff and saw Lin Ming already meditating inside, Wang Yanfengs face suddenly turned gloomy. He had thought that Lin Ming had been eliminated, but unexpectedly, Lin Ming had passed the assessment before him.

  This guy!

  Wang Yanfeng felt a deep sense of crisis, he didnt rest but instead left the resting room, found his attendant and said in a low voice: "Go check, what kind of heavenly gift this guy has."

  Lin Ming noticed Wang Yanfengs hostility towards him, but this was normal, as the candidates were in a competitive relationship with each other, and there was only one first prize.

  Slowly, more and more people entered the rest room, and the second test was nearing its end.

  Finally, the number of people who passed the second round of screening was ninety-two, and indeed almost 90% were eliminated!

  No time was given for these barely qualified people to rest, and the final round of assessment began immediately.

  Passing this level means becoming a disciple of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect; failing means all previous efforts are wasted.

  "The Third Pass, Linglong Tower."

  A loud and clear voice rang out among the crowd, this times examiner was replaced by a thin middle-aged man. He had an ordinary appearance, but his body naturally exuded an aura that made peoples hearts palpitate. Lin Ming only took one glance to confirm that this middle-aged man was absolutely a master, probably already at the Later Heaven stage.

  This made Lin Ming feel a sense of wonder, before coming to the Seven Xuanwu Sect, he had never even seen a cultivator who had condensed their meridians in the sixth stage of Body Tempering, yet now, just the number of later-stage high-level experts he had seen was already five or six.

  But thats normal, the place with the most post-heavenly masters in Tianyun Country isnt the imperial palace or the marshals mansion, but rather the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion. Most of the post-heavenly masters here come from outside Tianyun Country, and many are even disciples of the Seventh Xuan Valley.

  "Follow me," said the middle-aged man, turning and walking away.

  Ninety-two examinees followed, and some onlookers naturally followed suit. However, not everyone could watch the second and third rounds of assessment. These people were either royalty or students of the Seven Mystical Martial Arts Academy.

  The middle-aged mans pace seemed slow, but he walked as if running, and the examinees had to use their skills to keep up.

  After a meals time, everyone arrived at a valley in the Great Zhou Mountain. In this valley, there was a magnificent building with a sign on its gate that read: "Qī Xuán Wǔ Gé" (Seven Mysterious Wu Pavilion).

  Upon entering, one can see a seven-jeweled pagoda that is twenty zhang high.

  "Wow!"

  This was Lin Mings first thought, before this he had never seen such a tall building, twenty zhang high, yet only seven stories, with an average height of three zhang per story, it would take several men stacked on top of each other to reach the top, even the most magnificent temple in Qingyang City could not compare to just one story of the Seven Treasure Pagoda.

  "Now, you can go in. The time is unlimited. Passing the first level means qualified, passing the second level means good, passing the third level means excellent, and passing the fourth level means genius. As for passing the fifth level... Hehe..." The middle-aged man smiled slyly, whetting everyones appetite, before his face turned serious and he said: "Its fundamentally impossible."

  Upon hearing the middle-aged mans words, some of the young geniuses felt somewhat displeased. Seeing these displeased individuals, Wang Fengs mouth curled up into a cold smile. A group of idiots, thinking that living in Linglong Tower is so easy.

  The assessment of the Seventh Imperial Palace has three rounds. The first round tests the foundation, the second round tests the heart of martial arts, and the third round is the most important one, testing actual combat and talent!

  What is called genius is nothing but the ability of a martial artists comprehensive combat power at the same age.

  Linglong Tower is a Phantom Kill Array, where the strength of the enemy inside depends on the age of the assessor. With each passing day, the enemies inside become stronger!

  For so many years, only one person in the Seventh Imperial Palace had passed the fifth level during the assessment. This person was not Ling Sen, the eldest senior brother of Tians Imperial Palace, but Qin Xingxuan, who seemed as gentle as water.

  Sixth-grade innate talent, this is no joke. Many people dont know Qin Xuans cultivation, but Wang Canfeng knows that she is the peak of the fourth heavy body practice.

  Comparable to Ling Sen Xiu, but five years younger than him!

  Wang Yanfeng was arrogant, but he wasnt arrogant enough to think that he could compare with Qin Xuan in terms of height, and he was satisfied after passing the fourth level.

  Looking at the seven treasures of Linglong Tower, Wang Yanfeng felt a strong sense of combat rising in his heart. For him, the first and second rounds were just a formality, unable to bring out his true strength, leaving him with a feeling of having great power but nowhere to use it. Only the third round was a real test of battle.

  Strength, skill, body method, and combat skills are all integrated, Wang Yanfeng is confident that he will make a stunning debut in this round of assessment!

  "Everyone go in! The strength of the opponent depends on your age." With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man opened the door of the Seven Treasures Luminous Tower.

  The arched gate, with a radiant glow inside, Lin Ming took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

  At this time, Qin Xingxuan also arrived at the assessment scene. She looked far away at Lin Mings back, and sent him off as he disappeared into the Seven-Colored Gate.

  "Hehe, Xingxuan, youre also very concerned about Lin Ming."

  Leng Buding was asked by his own teacher, Qin Xingxuan had a few points of embarrassment in her heart, she said: "Lin Mings attainments in Mingwen are far beyond my reach, but if its compared to combat power, I still have some confidence."

  "Hmm, in terms of combat power, Lin Ming is indeed inferior to you. Xingxuan, guess which floor Lin Ming can reach?"

  "This... normally, at the age of 15, with a cultivation base of Second Layer Body Refining, its already very difficult to pass the second layer. However, Lin Ming is extremely strong and might be able to pass the third layer." Qin Xuan thought for a moment before saying this, which was already a high praise. To pass the third layer, Lin Ming would at least need to have a cultivation base of Third Layer Body Refining.

  "What you said is right, but... I always feel that Lin Ming might give us some surprises."

  At the time when Qin Xuan and Mu Yi were discussing, in a corner of the mountain valley that was not eye-catching, Lan Yunyue also looked far away at Lin Mings back, her eyes full of complex colors.

  As a disciple of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect, Lan Yunyue naturally had the right to enter the valley and watch the assessment. This was the final round of assessment, and as long as she passed, she would become an official disciple of the Seventh Xuanwu Sect.

  With Lin Mings current state, he should be able to break through the first floor of the Linglong Tower.

  Who would have thought that after just half a year apart, Lin Ming would have such astonishing growth...

  Want to practice martial arts with Lin Ming in a martial arts school... Lan Yunyue felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

  At this time, Lin Ming naturally wouldnt go thinking about other peoples thoughts, he had already arrived at the Phantom Kill Array.

  As soon as he entered the Linglong Tower, all the other examinees had disappeared, and Lin Ming could only see himself.

  He was in a vast black space, the sky was filled with twinkling stars, and under his feet was hard black rock. At this moment, not far in front of him, a gray light shadow gradually solidified, slowly turning into a warrior holding a long staff.

  "Is this the enemy?" Lin Ming judged that his opponents cultivation was at the early stage of the Second Heavy Realm.

  That middle-aged man just said that the strength of his opponent depends on his own age. He was born fifteen years and eight months ago, and the enemys cultivation is at the beginning of the second stage of practicing the body. The older candidates naturally face stronger enemies.

  It seems that for a 15-year-old boy, its impossible to pass the assessment without achieving two dan in martial arts.

  Lin Ming no longer wasted any time, his body shot out like a nimble leopard. The Chaotic True Devil Technique circulated, true essence poured into his muscles, and with one move, it was a killing blow!
