Fate of the Immortals and Demons

"Exactly!"

Ding Yubai only had time to transmit these two words before he was interrupted by Luo Huo.

"What are you daydreaming about? Round two is coming soon."

But seeing that Luo Huo seemed a little angry, Ding Yubai could only smile helplessly and shook his head. He said nothing, but still emitted evil thoughts and consciousness.

This time the girl whispered back, "My name is Shirley, and I'm from the Snow Tribe of Tianming Mountain."

Ding Yubai sent another voice message: "Nice to meet you. I will make it up to you when I have the chance."

Shirley suddenly became interested and whispered, "Well, then you can compensate me with this sound transmission method."

"That's fine." Ding Yubai thought for a moment before replying, "I'm off to participate in the second round. See you later."

"it is good."

Shirley nodded slightly and responded calmly, watching Ding Yubai follow the freshmen who had passed the pressure test and walk towards the second round venue under their guidance.

Qingtai was also watching them leave, but he saw that Luo Huo was very intimate and was standing right next to Ding Yubai.

If it weren't for the fact that this was in the academy, in public, they wouldn't have been so intimate as to hold hands.

But even so, Qingtai still saw it deeply and felt a dull pain in his heart.

"The second round of selection is actually here?"

Since Ding Yubai had been communicating with Shirley through his magic thoughts and spiritual consciousness, he naturally did not hear clearly what Xu Daofu said about the information related to the second round of selections.

Fortunately, Luo Huo was by his side, so Ding Yubai roughly understood that the second round of selection would be held in this Demon Refining Tower.

"Freshmen, please take a seat. This tower is the foundation of our Holy Academy. It is also the place where our Holy Academy has stood firm in this netherworld since its founding."

Xu Daofu, who was brought here together, waited until the ten thousand freshmen sat in a fan shape on the ground outside the Demon Refining Tower before he started to explain.

"Isn't this Demon Refining Tower used to pass the three levels?"

All of a sudden, Ding Yubai was filled with doubts.

"As for the origins of this tower, it was left by Dean Li, who founded the Holy Academy. It has been protecting our Holy Academy until now. It is both offensive and defensive, and it is also a major trial site for our Holy Academy."

Xu Daofu also sat on the ground outside the Demon Refining Tower and explained.

Yue Yinhua, who was also sitting cross-legged outside the gate of the Demon Refining Tower, pinched her fingers together and drew out streams of black air from the Demon Refining Tower, then poured them into a dark green bracelet.

"go with!"

Just when Ding Yubai was confused and had wild thoughts in his mind, he saw Dean Yue Yinhua refining the bracelet infused with black energy and casting a spell.

The bracelet that was used for sacrifice in the air immediately turned into countless afterimages, like a meteor shower, one for men on the left and one for women on the right, and was directly put on the wrists of 10,000 freshmen participating in the freshman selection.

"This is……"

In an instant, seeing the bracelet directly put on his left wrist, Ding Yubai was suddenly confused.

After doing all this, Yue Yinhua slowly stood up and waved her hand, recalling the somewhat dimmed bracelet and wearing it on her right wrist. Then, it was covered by her long sleeves and she spoke:

"This item can be called a dream bracelet. With it, you will enter the Demon Refining Tower through your soul consciousness in the form of a dream and embark on a five-day trial journey."

"I see……"

This made Ding Yubai suddenly understand, while the other freshmen present were not surprised at all, as if they had heard of it before.

However, everyone had a look of surprise on their face, unable to hide their joy.

"How strange! According to usual admissions, even the first half of the year's major intake only involves a three-day trial journey. And the minor intake is just a formality, a one-day experience. Why is it that this time, this Holy Academy is willing to expend all the energy and effort on a five-day trial journey?"

Luo Huo, who was sitting cross-legged beside Ding Yubai, seemed to be saying something to Ding Yubai on purpose, and looked at Ding Yubai's equally surprised face with puzzled eyes.

"A five-day trial journey? Looks like you're really benefiting from this ordinary person, Ding Yubai?"

Ni Feiyu's opinion of Ding Yubai had changed drastically this time. You know, the benefits of this trial journey are naturally greater the longer it lasts.

Even if one unfortunately dies during the trial, he will only be kicked out and will not have to worry about his life.

It's like playing a virtual game in person, and naturally you want to play as long as possible.

Moreover, trials like this will bring many benefits to one's future cultivation path.

At least in actual combat, it has a very significant experience effect!

"To think such a thing existed? In my original world, the human realm, there are tons of games, but there hasn't been a single game that can truly immerse people in the world, a game that feels like a dream. I never imagined that this could be possible in the Netherworld."

Ding Yubai suddenly had an epiphany, as if he had been enlightened, and couldn't help but feel worried about the Netherworld invading the human world three years later.

Then I heard Xu Daofu stand up and explain:

"This time, entering the Demon Refining Tower, you will embark on a five-day trial journey. During this period, the ranking will be determined by who kills the most monsters and obtains the most core crystals. Of course, the higher the level of the monsters killed, the higher the core crystal score will be. If you unfortunately die, you will be eliminated from the competition, and half of the core crystals you have obtained will be lost. They can be obtained by others or stored in the dream bracelet you wear."

After listening to Xu Daofu's explanation of the winning rules, Ding Yubai suddenly understood. This is indeed a cruel and exciting trial journey!

Not only do you have to kill monsters to obtain nuclear crystals, but you also have to guard against backstabbing and sneak attacks from your competitors.

Thinking of this, Ding Yubai couldn't help but look at Ni Feiyu.

Ni Feiyu also looked at Ding Yubai, and there was a strong murderous intent in both of them.

"I, the dean, officially declare the second round of selections open! Simply close your eyes and enter a meditative state. Focus your thoughts and enter the independent space within your dream bracelet. Once you've selected the equipment you need, you can proceed."

Dean Yue didn't waste any time in this situation and immediately announced the start of the event. He then personally pushed open the Demon Refining Tower's door behind him...

Ding Yubai did not hesitate any more and did as he was told. He closed his eyes and sent his thoughts into the dream bracelet on his left wrist.

Ding Yubai felt as if his soul had been transported through time and space. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a chaotic space, and the entire space was like a closed secret room.

Ding Yubai glanced at this small secret room, which looked like an armory, with only a circular passage door emitting a dim glow.

"This must be the independent space transformed by the dream bracelet. However, this really feels like a dream game. Even the weapons and equipment, as well as the elixirs needed for injuries, are all available and ready to go."

Seeing this, Ding Yubai suddenly realized something. Without thinking, he picked out a suitable red tassel spear from the eighteen weapon racks and put on a set of armor, looking quite majestic.

"It is true that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools."

Finally, Ding Yubai did not forget to put the only two bottles of pills, one red and one blue, into the dream bracelet, and then stepped into the circular passage, the only exit of this chaotic secret room.

After all, this is like playing a virtual game. Of course, the earlier you enter, the more advantages you will have.

As Ding Yubai stepped in, in reality, Ding Yubai, who was sitting cross-legged outside the Demon Refining Tower with his eyes closed, wore a dream bracelet, wrapped in a dark soul light, and directly sank into the open dark door of the Demon Refining Tower.

And before and after this, countless soul lights wrapped in the dream bracelet sank into the open door of the Demon Refining Tower until they disappeared without a trace.

As he stepped into the passage formed by the dream bracelet, Ding Yubai felt a flash before his eyes, as if he was falling into a cloud of mist, and then his eyes lit up.

Ding Yubai, dressed in military uniform, unexpectedly stood on a picturesque cliff. Beyond the cliff was an endless abyss, which was daunting.

Inside the cliff, you are surrounded by mountains and the air is fresh. Looking up at the sky, you can see the rising sun, full of vitality.

"Is this the world that exists within the Demon Refining Tower? This is too real! Wait, what is that? Why does it look so much like a tall tower? Could it be the Demon Refining Tower?"

Ding Yubai was immediately shocked by what he saw, especially the huge building towering into the clouds on the horizon, which attracted his attention.

Just at this moment, a cool mountain breeze blew by, and Ding Yubai couldn't help but shiver, which awakened him.

This is a real world!

"Roar!"

Before he could marvel at how real the world he was in was, the roar of the beast immediately made Ding Yubai realize the danger of this world.

Without thinking too much, Ding Yubai would not jump off the cliff to commit suicide, but immediately sneaked into the forest.

After all, standing on the top of the cliff, although you will feel as if you are at the top of the world and overlooking all the other mountains, it is also too conspicuous and easy to attract enemies.

After sneaking into the forest, Ding Yubai jumped up and crouched on a big tree trunk, then looked at himself carefully.

He was wearing a suit of dark armor and an ink-black bracelet on his left wrist, which emitted a faint light and looked like a dream.

After taking stock of his own condition, Ding Yubai began to look at the surrounding environment and dispersed his evil thoughts and consciousness.

Although it can only detect things within a radius of more than ten miles from itself, it is enough, which is equivalent to using a plug-in.

"I wonder where Huo'er is? I just looked out from the cliff. This world is so vast and boundless that I can't even see the end. It seems the only way to get closer is to that huge building in the distance."

Ding Yubai thought so, and relying on his devilish consciousness, he carefully sneaked into the depths of the forest towards the towering building on the horizon.

Ding Yubai was, after all, a graduate of the police academy and had received professional training in wilderness survival and exploration. Therefore, he remained calm and proceeded steadily and methodically.

"Roar!"

As we went deeper, the roar of the beast was heard again.
