Students had begun gathering outside the mountain in droves.
They had all been drawn by the news spread by the men in green robes. After all, the Water of Life was incredibly valuable, and every student there hoped to obtain some.
A large dose of the Water of Life could immediately transform someone's aptitude, unlock their body's potential, and turn them into a genius. It could even give them a one-in-three chance of becoming a King Realm expert someday.
There had been plenty of examples of this. Some predecessors had been nobodies until good fortune led them to the Water of Life. Then they rose to prominence, became King Realm experts, and finally earned fame and admiration.
"Is this mountain where the space containing the Water of Life is?"
"That's right, no doubt about it. Look how lush and green it is, with all those plants growing there. Only the Water of Life could work such a miracle."
"Exactly. This is the Demon Land, thick with demonic energy and deathly still, where not a blade of grass grows. Without the Water of Life, no plants could possibly survive here."
"Haha, after searching for so many days, we've finally found where the Water of Life is. Fortune is smiling on us!"
The students were all excited, their eyes fixed on the mountain before them. They could barely contain themselves and were itching to rush in and seize the Water of Life.
Nie Zhen, Chang Bin, Qiu Wanqian, and the others were among them. They had come as soon as they heard the news.
Even Su Ji, Xiao Yixuan, Mu Haoran, and the others had arrived. They were just as determined to claim the Water of Life.
"But someone's already gone in. Looks like he wants to keep it all for himself."
