White lights flashed like a curtain of rain, illuminating the entire bluestone square.
As the Spirit Realm space completely collapsed and dissipated, the originally gloomy and depressing Black Cloud Mountain Range scene instantly faded away, replaced by the familiar Dao Academy building and the eager eyes in the stands.
Chu Bai only felt that his feet were on solid ground, and that down-to-earth feeling returned.
He subconsciously looked around. The originally huge team of more than a hundred people was now sparsely reduced to the last few figures.
In addition to him and Ji Li, Lü Qing, Wang Qingli, Wu Jianfei, Jiang Yingqiao and others are also on the list, all of them are familiar faces.
The dust has settled on the top ten spots.
This means that regardless of the outcome of the third round of Arena, these ten of them have already locked in the coveted Immortal Clerk quota for this year's Great Plains Prefecture Dao Academy in advance!
Everyone looked at each other, and even Lü Qing, who had always been serious about his words, had a rare smile of relief on his resolute face at this moment.
The nerves that had been tense all day finally relaxed a little at this moment.
The winner is the king.
After a brief silence, deafening cheers erupted from the stands, and the sound wave almost overturned the dome of the Dao Academy.
"It worked! It really worked!"
"Chu Bai actually got the Immortal Clerk quota! He was chosen from a group of third-year elites like wolves and tigers!"
"A miracle! This is a real miracle!"
On the Instructor seat, Instructor Lei flushed with excitement. He suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up. Regardless of the presence of other colleagues around him, he grinned and laughed loudly:
"Hahahaha! What a good boy! You really make me look good!"
Zhou Changkong, who had always been steady, had his hands trembling slightly at this time, with a happy face, and turned to Instructor Lei and said:
"Old Lei, you and I, students, have created Dao Academy history today!"
"Since the establishment of Great Plains Prefecture Dao Academy, there has never been a first-year student who has successfully graduated and won the official status of Immortal Clerk!"
"Even Xu Household didn't make a name for himself until the second grade. Chu Bai's move... is unprecedented!"
Ji Yu on the side also had beautiful eyes, nodded and praised, "It is indeed our luck to be able to teach such students. Today, we old guys have benefited greatly."
At this moment, Chu Bai is undoubtedly the most dazzling one on the stage.
Although it is a great honor for the other nine people to get the quota, he alone is the most special and incredible existence here.
Enrollment only takes one year!
And among his competitors, even those losers who were eliminated by him, which one is not an old student who has been in school for three years and studied hard for a thousand days? Which one is not an elite cultivated by Lineage?
Surrounded by such powerful enemies, Chu Bai not only was not crushed, but instead managed to break into the top ten with an almost arrogant attitude!
Not only that, everyone knows that this is not luck.
Whether it was the first round of fighting for the magic weapon, or the second round of the Demon Hunt massacre that could be called Asura Battlefield, the combat power, character, and methods displayed by Chu Bai were all real - pure strength!
"Senior Brother Chu! That's Senior Brother Chu!!"
In the corner of the stands, Zhang Shan was so excited that he jumped onto the seat, waving his hands and shouting. He looked even crazier than if he had won the title:
"Let me tell you! I have formed a team with Senior Brother Chu! I also fought against Senior Brother Chu in a practical class! It's a pity that I lost a single move..."
Facing the strange looks from around him, Zhang Shan didn't care at all and even puffed up his chest.
Since the other party is destined to graduate early and become the superior Immortal Clerk, then he calls him "senior brother" with confidence and even honor!
In the stands, there was cheering and cheering for the winner to be crowned.
And at the edge of the square, those students who were eliminated in the second round were looking at the figure on the stage who had attracted much attention, but their eyes were extremely complicated.
Especially when Chu Bai glanced at them, many people shuddered subconsciously.
Although he returned to the real world and his injuries were treated as soon as possible, the fear originating from the depths of his soul has not dissipated.
Especially Chu Bai is now more powerful than Killing Intent. The layer of black Killing Intent that has almost condensed into substance around his body has not dissipated. He stands there like a god of death who has just crawled out of hell.
Chen Wangming stood behind the crowd, his face pale. When he saw that figure, he involuntarily took a step back.
The image of being killed by Chu Bai in the Spirit Realm just now lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
That sense of powerlessness, that despair of being crushed by absolute power, still makes him a little scared.
"Is this... a real monster?"
He took a deep breath and suppressed the growing shadow in his heart.
"No, you need to adjust as soon as possible. Although Immortal Clerk is hopeless, the normal graduation exam will be in a few days. If Dao Heart Defilement affects the future, it will be really ruined."
Although those who were eliminated will not be devastated by this, today's battle and those two figures are destined to become an insurmountable mountain in the hearts of students of their generation.
High in the sky, clouds are pushed away by invisible air machines.
Four figures stood out of thin air, overlooking all the living beings below.
"Today Immortal Official Examination, according to Judge, how is this session?"
Dao Academy Dean stroked his long beard gently, with a trace of expectation in his cloudy old eyes.
Although the result was decided, he still wanted to hear what the examiner from Merit Office had to say.
Judge Li's red robe rustled in the wind. He glanced at the ten young but tall figures below, nodded slightly, and showed a rare look of approval on his face.
"Killing is decisive, with various methods, and the character is also tenacious."
Judge Li spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but there was an undeniable majesty. "Especially those leading seedlings, whether it is Ji Li's tyranny or Chu Bai's almost demonic growth rate, I am deeply impressed. Nowadays, these Dao Academy students are indeed getting stronger with each session."
Having said this, he paused, turned to the dean, and smiled:
"The quota has been confirmed, then let me proceed Ordination."
The ending of this Immortal Official Examination is somewhat unexpected.
According to the previous process, although most people will be eliminated in this second round, there will always be twenty or thirty people who will enter the third round of Arena battle to determine the top ten.
But who would have thought that this year there would be Chu Bai and Ji Li, two killers who don't follow common sense.
The two of them engaged in a racing-like massacre on the top of the mountain, directly wiping out dozens of elites who had finally climbed up.
Coupled with the brutal melee in other areas, the only ones left standing on the field were these few toughest bones.
Even if there is an element of luck, it cannot be done without the support of strength.
Although the quota has been determined, it does not mean that the assessment is over, nor does it mean that you can go home directly to celebrate.
The most important thing about Immortal Clerk is Ordination.
This is not only a symbol of status, but also a source of strength.
"Accept White Ordination first, and then decide the ranking."
Judge Li smiled slightly, turned his right hand, and a bronze Official Seal exuding a majestic aura emerged out of thin air.
As he injected spiritual power, a ray of golden light shot out from the Official Seal, shooting straight into the sky, as if connected with the Great Zhou Law Net in the the Unseen.
"Edict!"
Accompanied by a soft drink.
Ten talismans as white as jade and exuding a faint divine radiance flew out of the golden light, like ten dancing white cranes, piercing the sky and landing accurately on the eyebrows of the ten people below.
Chu Bai felt a chill between his brows.
In an instant, a strange and huge force poured into the sea of consciousness.
Boom!
The vision in front of me suddenly changed.
The originally familiar world seemed to have been unveiled with a mysterious veil at this moment.
Countless golden threads that were originally invisible and intangible intertwined into a network in the void, covering the entire Great Wall Prefecture and even more distant territories.
That's...Law Net!
Those who win White Ordination will have half a foot in the system and have a formal official status.
If you have the intention to become an official, you can be officially appointed and take charge of a party Divine Authority only after being assigned.
And it has been able to initially call on the power of Law Net, and Fortune can join in to avoid evil and seek good luck.
Although the specific power of Law Net can be mobilized, it remains to be studied slowly in the future, but for Chu Bai at this moment, the biggest benefit brought by this White Ordination is immediate.
The shackles of heaven and earth that had been suppressing him faintly and preventing him from breaking through the realm at will seemed to melt at this moment.
It can even be said that as long as he is willing, as long as he accumulates enough spiritual power, the future Qi Refining realm will be smooth and smooth, and there will be no restrictions.
This is the Fortune blessing brought by the official body, and this is the privilege that countless monks dream of!
Chu Bai took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stood in awe with the other nine people.
The ten people all bowed deeply to Judge Li high in the sky, and their voices were loud and resounded throughout the square:
"Thank you, Master Judge, for the gift!"
High in the sky, Judge Li stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression still calm in the face of everyone's thanks.
"Inheriting heaven's gift, Non-Self's merits are the result of your own efforts."
His eyes swept over the ten young and energetic faces below, and his tone was calm but dignified. "Although the quota has been determined, Immortal Official Examination is the Celestial Court ceremony after all, and the procedures that need to be completed still need to be completed."
"And this final ranking is related to the grade and resource allocation of your future appointments, so you can't be careless."
"The third round will begin in half an hour."
The deputy dean Lu He on the side also nodded and agreed, "This is exactly the reason. The final ranking will determine the final ranking of this Dao Academy Graduation Examination.
Now that you have reached this point, you should not have any regrets, and you must go all out."
After saying that, his eyes inadvertently stayed on Chu Bai for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"This kid... is really an anomaly."
"In previous years, the graduation ranking was always just a stage for the third-year seniors. This year, a first-year freshman was forced to finish last, and he even had to compete for the top spot..."
He vaguely remembered that a year ago, it was he who personally presided over the entrance ceremony for new students and watched the young man wearing a shabby gown receive the lowest grade Gray Ordination.
At that time, who would have thought that in just one year, this young man would have leaped over the dragon gate, inherited White Ordination, and stood side by side with those proud men of heaven?
Such a speed is simply appalling.
According to the previous introduction of the rules, this third round is actually the simplest and purest round.
There are no fancy rules, no complicated environmental interference, and no intrigues in which more people bully others.
Pairs of battles, Arena compete, the winner takes all!
This round, the element of luck has been compressed to the extreme. It all depends on the monk's previous accumulation and personal hard power.
Now that I have White Ordination in my possession, the pressure of elimination that hangs over my head has disappeared, leaving only the competitive Dao Heart.
"Ten people are divided into five groups, a double elimination system. The loser will enter the loser group, and the winner will be determined in seven rounds."
"Therefore, even if you encounter a strong opponent in advance and lose a game, there is still no chance. As long as you can fight back in the loser's group, you can still compete for the top ranking."
As soon as this rule came out, although everyone's expressions were still solemn, the fighting spirit in their eyes became more intense.
Today, among the ten people who can stand here, which one is weak?
Lü Qing, Wang Qingli, Wu Jianfei, Jiang Yingqiao... each one is an elite who has been honed in countless battles.
Even when facing those two seemingly invincible monsters, they still wanted to touch each other to see where the gap was.
Only one battle can determine the outcome and prove Dao Heart.
Especially Chu Bai and Ji Li.
The two of them were several feet apart, and their eyes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.
That moment of looking at each other, without words, is worth a thousand words.
"See you in the finals."
This is the tacit understanding between the two of them.
Everyone knows in their hearts that most of the final seats have been decided.
These two people are recognized as the strongest in the field, and they harvested wildly in the first two rounds, accumulating Killing Intent and advantages that far exceeded others.
Nowadays, they are already superior to everyone in terms of momentum and hard power.
In the Spirit Realm just now, if the quota had not been decided in advance, the battle would have determined the outcome of life and death.
"As for who of these two will win..."
Many people looked back and forth between the two of them, secretly speculating in their minds.
"It's still unclear."
One is Aristocratic Clan Prodigy who is domineering and unparalleled and has never been defeated; the other is the new monster who has suddenly emerged and has endless tricks.
Whoever can win this final will be able to take off the crown that symbolizes the strongest Great Plains Prefecture Dao Academy.
You know, this is not just a false name.
Immortal Official Examination ranking, naturally also has rewards from the Dao Academy and Merit Office.
There is nothing trivial about Dao Path.
For fame, for profit, and even more for the unwillingness to admit defeat in my heart.
Chu Bai and Ji Li looked away at the same time, sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes Breath Regulation.
After half an hour, the winner will be decided!
"Killing Intent is divided into three colors: gray, red and black according to density."
"I have obtained the black Killing Intent, the increase is huge, but I haven't tried it specifically yet."
"I wonder if the power of the magic weapon will be fully activated by then..."
