Immortal Stones

Lin Mu wasn't curious about how they cleared the level.

He knew very well that although the Death Gate seemed difficult, as long as he grasped the rules, he could easily pass it.

They are all geniuses and have many tools at their disposal. As long as they are careful, they can still pass the levels.

"I heard that this third trial is not just about competing for Immortal Stones!" Bai Mo suddenly said from the side.

"What do you mean?" Lin Mu asked.

"Those Immortal Stones are all rather strange," Bai Mo said.

Lin Mu was slightly taken aback. "Strange!?"

Bai Mo nodded. "It must be something special. Even if we find the Immortal Stones, we still need to be careful."

"Okay!" Lin Mu nodded.

He trusted Bai Mo more, and she had no reason to lie to him.

Moreover, this is Martial Arts Exam, so it's normal for it to be somewhat difficult.

The figures of the group walked forward.

The bushes ahead were shrouded in layers of mist. As they entered the mist, they seemed to be separated by an invisible hand, each arriving in a different area.

Lin Mu walked through the fog, surrounded by unfamiliar faces.

Bai Mo and the others were teleported to other locations.

This is also to prevent some people from forming teams to attack other trainees.

"Immortal Stones! It's Immortal Stones!" someone shouted from the crowd.

Lin Mu looked in that direction and saw a fist-sized, crystal-clear stone radiating Seven-Colored Radiance, placed on a Stone Peak. Even from hundreds of meters away, one could clearly sense the stone's unusual nature.

"Found it so quickly?" Lin Mu was somewhat surprised.

The other figures rushed towards the Immortal Stones.

Lin Mu remembered Bai Mo's instructions. He wasn't very fast, but with his strength, he could always find a way to snatch it from those top geniuses.

The people at the front were very fast. In just a few breaths, they reached the top of the mountain. Looking at the Immortal Stones in front of them, their faces were full of excitement.

"The Immortal Stones is mine!" one of them said.

But before he could even touch the Immortal Stones, another person wielding a long sword slashed at him.

"Go to hell, this is mine!"

Anger flashed in the man's eyes, and as he drew his spear, a terrifying attack ensued.

Waves of power spread in all directions.

The others also wanted to obtain the Immortal Stones, but the others wouldn't let them succeed.

A chaotic battle ensued.

Lin Mu stood at a distance, observing silently.

Whoosh!

A whooshing sound rang out, and a man dressed in red was seen passing through the crowd with incredible agility, grabbing the Immortal Stones in his hand.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense that the man's Movement Technique had reached the peak of the Silver Grade and that he had cultivated Four-stage Martial Skill, which was why he could have such speed.

Many people who witnessed this scene immediately stopped fighting and chased after the attackers, roaring as they went.

But before they could chase for more than a few dozen meters, the red-clad man who had been holding the Immortal Stones suddenly stopped. His eyes were filled with a ferocious look as he glared menacingly at the pursuers.

"You beasts, you actually dared to take the Immortal Stones from my hand! Die!"

He roared, brandishing a dagger, and charged at the nearest man.

Lin Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

He could naturally sense that something was wrong.

Even though he had obtained the Immortal Stones, he didn't leave; instead, he fought with these people.

Isn't that just asking for death?

He was only First-Order Martial Artist; how could he possibly be a match for so many people?

"You fools who don't know what's good for them!" someone cursed, grabbing a large knife and charging forward.

Before long, the man in red was hit by multiple people, and blood was flowing freely from his body. However, he seemed to still have a sliver of reason. He pressed the protection button, and the Immortal Stones fell from his hand.

Several men dressed in black rushed over to rescue the man in red.

The students around the Immortal Stones paid no attention to this, their eyes fixed on the Immortal Stones.

Another round of chaotic fighting ensued.

Lin Mu took a deep breath. He knew very well that these people's madness and violence were likely related to the Immortal Stones.

"This Immortal Stones is rather strange!" Lin Mu thought to himself.

He stood at a distance, observing silently.

The battle in the jungle lasted for a long time.

As the sun rose once more, a burly man, shirtless, stood beside the Immortal Stones, holding Horse-Slaying Blade.

Dozens of figures fell around him.

Many people had Protective Shield appear around them, and Black-Clad Man were treating them.

The burly man's face lit up with excitement. "The Immortal Stones, the Immortal Stones is mine!"

He picked up the Immortal Stones and put it in his pocket, but at that moment, a dazzling luster appeared on the Immortal Stones.

Bang!

An explosion was heard.

The burly man was sent flying backward, his face filled with disbelief.

How could a perfectly good Immortal Stones explode?

Under his gaze, a human face appeared on the Immortal Stones, and there was a hint of disdain on his face.

"Foolish fellow!"

After saying that, it hopped and skipped towards the depths of the jungle.

The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood, pressed the distress button, and several figures came to his side.

Lin Mu couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.

This is no Immortal Stones, it's clearly Demon Stone.

However, the academy went to such lengths to prepare all of this in order to teach these students a lesson.

Don't be fooled by appearances.

The world is vast, and anything can happen.

It's somewhat similar to a story Lin Mu had read in his previous life.

Even your closest family members might betray you.

Even schools can set traps.

Lin Mu pushed off with both legs and rushed in the direction the Immortal Stones had left.

He discovered that the Immortal Stones seemed to possess some intelligence, tending to gravitate towards areas with many people.

And when the trainees see it, they immediately try to snatch it.

The same thing keeps happening.

Those students seemed to be influenced by the Immortal Stones, fighting until the very last moment.

However, the design of the Immortal Stones is ingenious. When each student is seriously injured, they can regain a sliver of sanity and press the distress button to avoid injury or death.

Lin Mu had been observing from the shadows the whole time.

In just two days, over a hundred students were eliminated because of this Immortal Stones.

At this rate, it's estimated that within a few days, over 90% of the trainees will face this fate.

Lin Mu had been trying to get closer to the Immortal Stones during this time, and things were going pretty much as he had expected.

The Immortal Stones has the power to bewitch people.

As you get closer, a system voice will sound.

"Defend against a Mental Attack and gain 121 times the efficiency."

Moreover, based on the intensity of this attack, Lin Mu could roughly estimate its bewitching ability.

Looking at the Immortal Stones that had started bouncing around again, a sharp glint appeared in Lin Mu's eyes.

After observing it for so long, it's time to take it down.

He leaped into the air and landed in front of the Immortal Stones, at which point a series of system notifications sounded.
