The seventh floor!
The instant Chen Feng stepped inside, a roar rang out.
Chen Feng looked around, and his face instantly grew solemn.
Three mid-stage Third-order Demons.
A wolf, a tiger, and an ape.
Their bodies were covered in black fur, with blood-red light flickering in their eyes.
However, the three demons were all trapped within an array ahead.
The entirely silver array descended from the air like a hood, enveloping all three demons within it.
Blood-red light flickered in the eyes of the three demons.
A mad aura erupted from their bodies.
They kept bombarding the array barrier, and upon seeing Chen Feng appear, the three demons grew even more frenzied.
Chen Feng's expression also turned grave.
They were actually three mid-stage Third-order Demons.
At that moment, words appeared beside him.
"Leaving the array barrier counts as failing the assessment."
"Come."
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped directly into the array barrier.
Roar!
In that instant, accompanied by roars—
The three demons charged at Chen Feng to kill him.
"Come!"
"Cloudy Smoke Carefree Steps!"
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly.
His figure became like an afterimage, slipping directly past the combined siege of the three demons.
Then he shouted coldly, "Killing Intent Intimidation!"
Buzz!
At that instant, with Chen Feng as the center—
A terrifying aura erupted directly from his body.
It spread through the surrounding area.
As for the demons charging at him, the instant Killing Intent Intimidation descended, Chen Feng severed one's head with a single slash.
Blood gushed forth!
With a bang, it crashed to the ground.
Chen Feng's figure was like an afterimage as he instantly passed behind the other two demons and cut them down with one slash.
You have killed demons. Your Killing Intent skill proficiency has increased.
The information refreshed.
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he looked ahead.
The path to the eighth floor had appeared.
A trace of solemnity filled his heart.
Three mid-stage Third-order Demons had already appeared on the seventh floor.
Wouldn't the eighth floor have late-stage demons?
Moreover, a thought flashed through Chen Feng's mind at that moment.
According to the information he had learned before, once he entered the eighth floor, he should be able to enter the top ten of the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking, right?
In other words, he could now obtain nearly ten thousand points.
Since that was the case, his goal for this attempt had actually already been achieved.
However, thinking of the things he would need for his future cultivation, Chen Feng still stepped directly into the eighth floor.
Sure enough, as expected, the eighth floor contained three late-stage Third-order Demons.
Chen Feng had already begun to feel some pressure.
Still, he directly activated his Dragon Scale talent, unleashing dozens of times his normal strength and defense, and forcibly killed the three demons.
Feeling the fluctuations of the aura within his body—
Chen Feng let out a light breath.
Sure enough, there was naturally a reason why it could serve as Black Stone Academy's testing method.
Under such pressure, he now regarded the ninth floor with some gravity as well.
He wondered what sort of assessment awaited him on the ninth floor.
After Chen Feng adjusted his breathing on the eighth floor—
A cold glint flashed through his eyes. No matter what, he had already come this far. Even if the eighth floor contained peak Third-order Demons, he would step inside and see exactly what was there.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Feng stepped directly into the ninth floor.
And just as Chen Feng entered the ninth floor—
Outside the Wind and Cloud Small Tower, quite a few people had already gathered.
Numerous students had assembled there, with nearly all of them watching the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking.
Even Wan Baoyang, who had been planning to challenge Lin Jin and fight his way back up, had now stopped.
He stood outside the Wind and Cloud Small Tower, his eyes filled with shock.
Just as he had been about to enter the Tower of Storm and Cloud, he heard that something unusual had happened with the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking, so he stayed behind to see what was going on.
He had never expected to see Chen Feng's name soaring all the way upward.
From tenth place at the beginning, it had risen directly to second place in a short time.
What that represented left countless people deeply shaken.
Many Black Stone Academy students had gathered around at this moment.
Voices of astonishment rang out everywhere.
"Who exactly is this Chen Feng? Do any of you know?"
"I heard he's a new student. He's only been at our academy for a few days—how is he already challenging for first place on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking?"
"That can't be real, can it? Or was this Chen Feng already a Third-grade Martial Artist before joining our academy?"
"That would be one thing, but if Chen Feng really managed to reach this level in just a few days, that would be terrifying."
"That should be impossible, right? Huo Yuxuan is currently first on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking. Her talent has been among the very best in Black Stone Academy for nearly a century. Chen Feng can't possibly surpass Huo Yuxuan on his first attempt, can he?"
As the students discussed this, their eyes were full of surprise.
Standing among the crowd, Wan Baoyang was also filled with amazement. Chen Feng entering the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking had already been shocking enough.
And now he was actually charging directly for first place on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking.
There had never been such a precedent in Black Stone Academy!
Wan Baoyang stood where he was, a trace of anticipation in his eyes. "I wonder whether Chen Feng can clear the ninth floor?"
"Even if he can't surpass Huo Yuxuan, he can at least rank second. The rewards won't be small."
Lin Jin, who had always disliked Wan Baoyang, had remained here after challenging Wan Baoyang's ranking on the main ranking.
He had been waiting here to watch Wan Baoyang's challenge.
He wanted to mock Wan Baoyang.
But he had never expected to encounter something like this.
At that moment, Lin Jin's expression was extremely ugly. He muttered, "Chen Feng... could it be that Chen Feng from before?"
Shock filled his eyes as well.
If he remembered correctly, Chen Feng had entered the academy less than a week ago, right?
When Lin Jin had seen him back then, Chen Feng had been a Martial Artist, but he was definitely not third-order.
In other words, Chen Feng had become capable of killing Third-order Demons in less than a week?
And he was even considered strong among Third-grade Martial Artists.
"Hah, this is interesting." A cold light flickered in Lin Jin's eyes as he murmured softly.
Chen Feng had no idea what was happening outside the tower.
After all, he barely knew any of the basic information about clearing the Wind and Cloud Tower.
Otherwise, if he had prepared himself, perhaps his clearing speed would have been even faster.
As for the ninth floor of the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking, he had originally thought it would be like before, still testing him through battles with demons or an illusion that tested the mind.
Yet he had never expected that after entering the ninth floor, the test would be beyond his expectations.
The moment he saw what lay ahead, he was struck dumb with shock.
"What is this?"
