Death Gate

Lei Yong stared at Lin Mu; he recognized the man.

Gold Grade Movement Technique!

Blood Qi Value: 10.1!

They belong to the top tier among all trainees.

However, he seems to have overlooked one point.

Lin Mu's spiritual cultivation is also quite strong.

To have such cultivation and Mental Strength at this age is truly remarkable.

A bright future awaits them.

"We need to bring this kid into our department!" Lei Yong thought to himself.

What he didn't know was that the other Examiners had the same thought after reviewing his application materials.

"To be able to see the problems with this kind of Formation, talent alone is not enough; one must also have profound spiritual attainments. Such a person is a treasure!"

"I think our Peak Academy is a perfect fit for him!"

"Your Peak Academy doesn't have any spiritual techniques, so our Sudden Wind Academy is more suitable!"

"I won't borrow it if I don't have it, but as long as he goes, I will do my best to train him!"

"..."

The group argued.

Du Zian's gaze remained fixed on Lin Mu.

In his opinion, it would be excellent if this person could become his disciple.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Mu had already become his disciple, and was someone he absolutely couldn't afford to offend.

In just seven or eight minutes, Lin Mu passed through the Plum Blossom Stakes.

These Plum Blossom Stakes may seem difficult, but once you grasp the rules, they're not that hard.

"I wonder how those people who put in so much effort on the First Level will get through the later levels!"

Lin Mu thought to himself as he walked forward.

At that moment, another figure successfully passed through the checkpoint. His face was cold and indifferent, giving people a sense of arrogance.

In his view, Life Path was the top priority, and that had to be him.

However, as his gaze swept across the area, he soon discovered that a figure had already walked more than ten meters away.

His pupils contracted slightly, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.

Someone was even faster than him.

His figure rushed forward.

When he saw Lin Mu, his brows furrowed slightly.

Who are you?

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback.

The man before them was none other than Cui Boxuan, who had caused a sensation earlier.

He is also an extremely talented genius!

Even if it were located in the Provincial Capital, it would still have a reputation.

"Just like you, a participant!" Lin Mu said.

"A participant!" A sharp glint appeared in Cui Boxuan's eyes.

He showed great talent from a young age.

Although there are some people in the Provincial Capital who are even more perverted than him.

Yet, he remains an exceptionally outstanding figure among his peers.

He was absolutely confident of winning first place in this Martial Arts Exam.

But he never expected that someone would be even stronger than him.

Moreover, he knew absolutely nothing about this person.

"What's your name?" Cui Boxuan asked.

"Lin Mu!" Lin Mu said.

"Lin Mu!" Cui Boxuan repeated, his eyes fixed on Lin Mu, trying to find something unusual about him.

But Lin Mu didn't seem to give him any special feeling.

"That's interesting, but this is only the First Level. I won't lose the later levels!" Cui Boxuan said seriously.

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback; he was somewhat surprised.

Cui Boxuan actually regarded him as a hypothetical enemy.

"As long as you're happy!" Lin Mu said.

After saying that, he walked forward.

Cui Boxuan followed not far away.

The two continued walking forward, and after about several tens of minutes, they arrived at a walled city.

The entrance to the besieged city was a gate that was hundreds of meters high.

The gate is grayish-white and depicts an extremely ferocious ghost face.

It gives people a chilling feeling.

Above the gate, a layer of gray clouds shrouded the area, creating an invisible sense of oppression.

Looking at the towering gate before him, Lin Mu knew very well that this was the Death Gate.

His figure walked forward.

Surprisingly, the tall gate seemed to be useless, and their figures passed right through it.

"An illusion?" Lin Mu frowned slightly.

At that moment, a system notification sounded.

"Experience a Mental Attack and gain 134 times the efficiency!"

Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly; he had been subjected to an unseen Mental Attack.

But his eyes scanned his surroundings, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

"It must be a problem with the portal!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

Following behind him, Cui Boxuan had a pained expression on his face, clearly also suffering from Mental Attack.

However, his Mental Strength was not as strong as Lin Mu's, and he could clearly feel as if something was piercing his Divine Soul.

When he saw that Lin Mu was completely unharmed, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Why can he feel pain?

Lin Mu was completely unharmed!

"No wonder he was able to pass through the Gate of Life so easily; it turns out it's his Mental Strength!" Cui Boxuan seemed to understand.

Lin Mu looked around.

The visibility here is extremely poor; the sky seems to be filled with lead, blocking out the sunlight, and the surroundings give a sense of desolation.

It's as if this place has experienced some kind of invasion, resembling a ruined city.

More importantly, when Lin Mu first arrived here, he could feel a dangerous aura permeating the entire abandoned city, as if he were being watched by something.

"This is the Death Gate! Something doesn't feel right!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

Cui Boxuan's gaze swept around, and he said in a cold voice.

"This is Ruined Capital City; there should be Demon here! There are only three ways to get through here."

"First, slaying Demon. This method is highly regarded, but it is very difficult because the strength of Demon is at the early stage of the Second Order, and martial artists of the same level cannot be their match."

"Second, find the Life Sigil. Possessing the seal will prevent you from being attacked by Demon and allow you to pass through the level smoothly. Although the score will be lower, it is relatively safe."

"Third, to uncover the truth about the invasion of the Ruined Capital City and liberate the Undead of the dead, this requires a certain level of intelligence and skill, and is suitable for those who are relatively clever."

"..."

Lin Mu looked at him and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Cui Boxuan had a touch of arrogance on his face. "I have studied the entire process of the Martial Arts Exam and read a lot of history books, so I naturally know some things. After all, those people in the Ministry of Education are lazy and don't like innovation at all!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Thank you!"

"There's no need. I just like fair competition. Otherwise, if I know something and you don't, wouldn't that be taking advantage of you?" Cui Boxuan said.

Lin Mu said, "No, knowledge is also a kind of strength. You are better than me in this aspect, so it is only natural that you have the upper hand!"

Cui Boxuan was slightly taken aback; he hadn't even considered these things.

This is normal, though; he values a contest of strength more.

Lin Mu scanned his surroundings, knowing full well that the Demon were nearby.

They haven't left the city gates yet, which is why the Demon haven't made a move. Once they officially enter the city gates, the Demon are very likely to attack.
