As Ren Rulong was lost in his excited thoughts, the mysterious person had already drifted away.
Sensing with his divine sense that Ren Rulong had also left Crescent Lake, Lin Heng didn't try to guess the identity of the mysterious person, because it was pointless to do so.
He quickly fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Lin Heng, as usual, signed in at various locations within the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute.
After lunch, he returned to the gate of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
For my second sign-in at the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the system rewarded me with a Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit!
Star Fruit is a very rare and precious natural treasure!
It is formed by absorbing the essence of stars; the longer it takes, the higher its grade!
The Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit is absolutely divine!
Only in the vast territory of the Demon Race race could such a divine fruit be born!
Lin Heng did not rush to consume the Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit!
The Demon Race is not good at alchemy. If they obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit, they usually eat it raw, but eating it raw cannot maximize the efficacy of this divine fruit!
Using the Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit to refine the Star Divine Pill is the best choice!
The Star Divine Pill is at least ten times more potent than the Ten-Thousand-Year Star Fruit!
Lin Heng signed in at the Heartwarming Pavilion in the Chishui Royal Palace and obtained the " Divine Refinement Scripture," a divine-level alchemy technique that can help him refine the Star Divine Pill!
As for alchemy furnaces, Lin Heng only possessed the Wondrous Fragrance Pill Furnace, a Quasi-Divine Artifact artifact.
Quasi-Divine Artifact alchemy furnace can indeed be used to refine divine pills, but it's not reliable enough. If a divine artifact alchemy furnace is used, the success rate of refining divine pills is naturally much higher!
After Lin Heng left.
Dongfang Yan asked her husband with great confusion, "Didn't the little prince just visit the Demon-Suppressing Tower yesterday? Why is he here again today?"
"I guess you didn't get enough of it yesterday!"
Hong San shrugged, indicating that he didn't know why either.
Hong San and Lin Heng had spent quite a bit of time together, and Hong San knew that Lin Heng not only liked to travel around, but also that he would always go back to places he had been to many times before.
Hong San was already used to it!
"What's there to stroll around about?"
Dongfang Yan couldn't understand Lin Heng's behavior at all. "Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and cultivate instead?"
"The Little Prince cannot be understood using common sense!"
Hong San shook his head and smiled meaningfully.
It was dusk that day.
Vice Dean Dongfang Xi announced in the No. 1 canteen that the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute's assessment for this year will begin tomorrow morning!
The Great Xia Divine Martial Institute uses different assessment methods every year. Dongfang Xi kept the question of what method would be used this year a secret.
While having dinner on the first floor of the No. 1 canteen, Lin Heng saw Ren Rulong again.
Ren Rulong looked much more energetic today, with a confident expression on his face.
Lin Heng could sense that Ren Rulong would still glance at him from time to time, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
With Ren Rulong's Martial Ancestor Realm level, he was qualified to dine on the second floor, but he didn't!
That night, Lin Heng did not hear Ren Rulong sigh again, and Ren Rulong did not go to Crescent Lake to linger.
One night passed.
early morning.
After breakfast, all the students were gathered in an open-air martial arts arena.
Dongfang Xi, dressed in a golden robe, stood behind a row of instructors in silver robes.
He unleashed his magic weapon: a giant carpet!
This giant carpet was a flying magic artifact. At Dongfang Xi's command, all the students and instructors jumped onto the giant carpet.
Dongfang Xi rode the giant carpet, flying out of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute and speeding northward.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the flying carpet landed at the mouth of a valley.
More than a dozen silver-robed instructors took to the air and flew to the surrounding areas of the valley, each choosing a hilltop to stand on.
As everyone can see, the entire valley is enveloped in a transparent curtain of light!
Clearly, that transparent light barrier was released by an array!
"During our last battle against the demon invasion in the Nanhua Kingdom, we captured many ferocious beasts and evil spirits, and some of them were imprisoned in this valley!"
"There are several different areas in the valley, with specific levels of ferocious beasts and demons residing in those areas!"
"They all have special score cards on them; all you need to do is steal those score cards!"
Whether you pass the assessment depends on the final score you get!
"As in previous years, the longer the hospital stay, the higher the assessment requirements!"
"In this year's assessment, students who have been enrolled for a longer period must achieve higher scores to pass!"
"You may steal score cards from demons, but you are not allowed to steal score cards that others have already acquired!"
"For your safety, each of you will receive a talisman. If you encounter danger you cannot handle, you can activate the talisman to protect yourself!"
"It's important to note that once you activate the talisman, an instructor will come to pick you up, which means your assessment is over and your score is fixed!"
"I'm warning you one more time: you can cooperate with each other, but you cannot attack each other!"
"Also, always act within your capabilities. It's best not to attempt to challenge the demons in the valley who are stronger than you, otherwise you might be killed before you can even activate your talisman!"
"Of course, we can't be overly cautious, after all, there are rewards for high scores!"
"The assessment will end at dusk, did everyone understand?"
Dongfang Xi's gaze swept over the many students.
"Listen carefully!"
All the students answered together.
"Enter through this entrance; the further north you go, the stronger the demons become! Once you're ready, you can go in!"
After saying this, Dongfang Xi waved his sleeves, and streaks of light flew towards everyone.
Each stream of light was a talisman, hovering above the heads of the students.
Everyone reached out and grabbed a talisman, then began to walk into the entrance of the valley.
"Little one, do you want to come with me?"
Dongfang Yao said with a smile, "When you first entered the Divine Martial Institute, I said I would protect you. You'll be with me during this assessment, and I'll share some score cards with you!"
" Yaoyao, the Little Prince has defeated many elite geniuses at the Purple Mansion Realm and Martial Ancestor Realm. He doesn't need your help!"
Dongfang Zhan chimed in, "Besides, he's only been in the hospital for a year, so the points he needs to pass the assessment aren't high!"
"That's true!"
Dongfang Yao nodded, then said to Lin Heng, "Little one, haven't you always been unconvinced by me? Let's have a competition this time and see who gets more points. Do you dare?"
" Yaoyao, this is too much!"
Dongfang Zhan laughed and said, "That little prince is only four years old and has only been in the hospital for a year. Your victory over him is completely unfair, and there's nothing to be happy about!"
" Dongfang Yao, what if I win?"
Lin Heng asked, "What are the benefits of winning, and what are the punishments for losing?"
Can you win?
Dongfang Zhan scoffed.
I was just saying, "What if!"
Lin Heng remained calm.
"If your score is higher than mine, I..."
Dongfang Yao had originally wanted to take a bigger gamble, but seeing Lin Heng's confident demeanor, she suddenly became a little insecure.
After a pause, she continued, "Go ahead and say it!"
"If my score is higher than yours, you'll be my maid for a year!"
Lin Heng said, "If your score is higher than mine, I'll let you boss me around for a year! How about it?"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
Dongfang Yao felt the stakes weren't high, and she was unlikely to lose.
