Fate of the Immortals and Demons

"Tumoe? Isn't this the monster described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Ding Yubai pondered for a moment, but didn't delve into it further. Instead, he asked, "Do you know how many freshmen are participating in the selection on this floor?"

"This……"

Yakeduo couldn't help but hesitate.

Yazi Lanfei replied uncertainly, "Most of the new students participating in the selection on this second level are at the Xuan level. Judging by yesterday evening, there were probably around three thousand new students left behind."

Facing Ding Yubai's silent and slightly scrutinizing gaze, Yazi Lanfei paused for a moment before saying:

"Because the third floor has third-order magical beasts, which is equivalent to the Earth level sequence. There are more than 200,000 of them, which is very suitable for the new students of the Earth level sequence."

Ding Yubai nodded slightly and asked, "So, how many second-level monsters are there on the second floor?"

"Everyone knows this. The first level of the Trial Tower, where the Holy Academy selects new students, has over ten thousand magical beasts. The second level has over a hundred thousand. The third level has two hundred thousand. The fourth level has four hundred thousand. The fifth level has eight hundred thousand. I heard the sixth level has one million. As for the seventh level, I don't know because no one has ever made it."

Faced with Ding Yubai's question, Yakeduo answered without thinking, looking very smug, as if trying to curry favor and win his favour.

Yazi Lanfei ignored it and added:

"Yakdo and I have similar cultivation levels, and are only one step away from the Earth level. We were originally planning to head to the third level, but we decided to stay on the second level first and kill more monsters. Maybe we can break the slaughter record."

"Is that so?"

After hearing the two men's truthful answers, Ding Yubai subconsciously looked into the distance and thought to himself, "I estimate that the second layer is probably 100,000 square kilometers, and the first layer should only be over 10,000 square kilometers."

Ding Yubai made such an estimate based on his visual observation of the radius of distance between himself and the tower.

To put it simply, each level of the Demon Refining Tower is like the center of this world.

All the freshmen who came to this world to participate in the selection landed on the edge of the Demon Refining Tower. Freshmen who needed to participate in the selection went to the tower on their own to enter a higher level of trial.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Ding Yubai came to the edge of the cliff alone with no one else around.

I think it must be the 10,000 freshmen who participated in the selection, who descended in a circle around the tower.

Ding Yubai, who came to this conclusion, couldn't help but wonder:

"This Demon Refining Tower Trial Ground is truly interesting. It actually goes against the grain. Not only does the trial ground get larger the higher you go, but the levels and number of monsters also increase exponentially."

Thinking of this, Ding Yubai couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"This one is truly born to rebel! However, the first and second floors, one on the cliff edge and the other on the shore, don't they symbolize the ends of the earth? I wonder what kind of topography the third and fourth floors represent?"

Seeing Ding Yubai remained silent, Yakeduo boldly asked again: "My lord, are we still going to encircle and suppress the Tulue?"

"No need."

Ding Yubai turned around and continued to stride towards the tower. Just as Yakeduo and Yazilanfei both showed displeasure and followed him more and more reluctantly, and were about to lose him, Ding Yubai said:

"How can these worms get nuclear crystals as quickly and in large quantities as those obtained through robbery?"

"What? This..."

Yakeduo and Yazilanfei were stunned when they heard what Ding Yubai said, but then they reacted and their faces showed surprise and admiration.

Yakeduo quickly stepped forward, followed closely, and praised sincerely:

"My lord is wise. After the massacre last night, I believe that many of the new students who participated in the selection must have accumulated hundreds of nuclear crystals."

"Yep."

Yazi Lanfei also walked quickly forward, almost side by side with Ding Yubai, and seemed to want to hold Ding Yubai's arm intentionally or unintentionally.

Ding Yubai frowned slightly, took a quick step, and left them far behind. He shouted coldly, "Don't be so presumptuous! All you two need to do is follow me closely and obey my orders. If I have a bite of meat to eat, you two will definitely have a bite of soup to drink."

"Yes."

Having hit a snag, Yazi Lan Fei didn't feel any resentment at all. Instead, he felt that the master he followed was so inaccessible, unattainable, and out of reach.

Yakedo nodded in agreement repeatedly, rubbing his hands with joy. He really wished he could meet the new students who took part in the selection right away, reap the benefits, and share a lot of money.

It was because, yesterday evening, when they suddenly heard that voice of divine power, every freshman participating in the selection was filled with envy and hatred.

It was also because of this that many freshmen who wanted to go to the third level gave up and decided to stay on the second level, killing almost the entire night.

"Humph! This is truly pathetic and ridiculous. The only reason I was able to break the slaughter record on the first floor is because, throughout history, I'm probably the only one who stayed on the first floor and slaughtered tens of thousands of monsters. That's why I received this award. If these guys can also replicate and break the slaughter record on the second floor, then it's simply too unreasonable."

However, at this moment, Ding Yubai was sneering in his heart.

He also didn't believe that anyone else could break his slaughter record on the second, third, or even fourth or fifth floors.

In fact, it was just as Ding Yubai thought.

Upon closer thought, this first-level slaughter record reward seemed to be tailor-made for Ding Yubai and deliberately designed and left behind.

"Ow!"

On the surface, Ding Yubai seemed to be strolling in the garden, but in fact, he had been spreading out his evil thoughts and spiritual consciousness, heading roughly towards the direction of the tower. This allowed Ding Yubai to use his evil thoughts and spiritual consciousness to detect a fierce battle just in front of the left.

"Isn't that the Bloodthirsty Lion Heron? It's an invincible existence equivalent to the peak of the Xuan-level sequence. Yet, there's still someone so audacious as to want to slaughter such a monster. Does he think he's the Xuan-level sequence, the truly invincible existence?"

As Ding Yubai brought them closer, Yakedo was shocked when he saw the scene in the valley several miles away and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It seems that following him really can get a free bowl of soup."

Yazi Lanfei stared at Ding Yubai's tall back with shining eyes. For the first time, she felt that a man's back could be so majestic, unattainable, and full of a strong sense of security.

"Rumble..."

However, at this moment, suddenly there was a deafening roar coming from the right front.

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look."

Ding Yubai was startled and turned to run straight to the right front.

"Wait, isn't that the gathering area where Zhu Yan is?"

Yazi Lanfei came back to her senses in shock and screamed loudly.

"What are you afraid of? He's leading the charge, and we can just follow behind and pick up the nuclear crystals for free."

Yakedo didn't care at all and followed Ding Yubai without thinking.

As for the man and the beast in front of him, they were fighting fiercely in the valley, with no intention of sitting back and reaping the benefits.

"Wait for me."

Although Yazi Lanfei knew very well how terrifying Zhu Yan was, he also knew that there were far more than one of them.

However, seeing Ding Yubai running faster and farther away, almost drowning in the mountains and forests, he had no choice but to follow him.

"Hoohoo!"

As they got closer, Ding Yubai's demonic consciousness revealed that there were nine giant gorilla-like beasts chasing the five freshmen in armor.

"Is this King Kong? No, this is actually the Zhu Yan described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? White head and red feet, ape-like in appearance. But, this is too big! I estimate it to be two meters tall."

Under the influence of his evil thoughts and consciousness, Ding Yubai was able to clearly detect everything that was ten miles away.

Moreover, the Nine-Headed Zhuyan was getting closer and closer, and the situation was extremely critical.

Ding Yubai immediately increased his speed and approached rapidly.

"Ah! Help..."

Just as Ding Yubai was about to approach, he suddenly heard a cry of terror, and saw a freshman who was participating in the selection competition and wearing armor, with a bloody head, and it was obvious that he had even lost his helmet.

He was directly caught by the leading Zhu Yan, who first squeezed him hard, squeezing him half to death, and then stuffed him into his bloody mouth. He swallowed him whole and turned into white light and disappeared.

However, under Ding Yubai's demonic consciousness, the half of the nuclear crystal that exploded from the newborn that was devoured by Zhu Yan was not swallowed by Zhu Yan, but fell to the ground.

However, Zhu Yan, who was chasing him closely, stepped on him and buried him deeply in the mud.

However, even if they were not buried in the dust, they were all running for their lives at this moment. Who would dare to risk their lives and pay attention to these less than a hundred nuclear crystals?

"I wonder how many freshmen who participated in the selection have lost their lives to these Zhu Yans? Isn't this just a waste for me to pick up the pieces?"

This is also thanks to Ding Yubai's demonic consciousness. As long as it is not buried too deep, not more than a hundred feet, he can still detect it.

"One has already died, so we have to help. I hope it turns out to be four more ungrateful people."

Ding Yubai thought to himself, and immediately stepped forward without hesitation, holding high the red tasseled spear, and rushed straight towards the leading Zhu Yan.

It was because this Zhu Yan jumped up and stretched out its claws to grab a lone freshman.

Seeing that the freshman was about to follow in his footsteps, at this critical moment, Ding Yubai stabbed out with his gun, which was like a sharp thorn, piercing into the base of Zhu Yan's calf.

In order to completely enrage Zhu Yan, Ding Yubai gripped the gun handle even tighter and twisted it violently, almost drilling a bloody hole in Zhu Yan's calf, before pulling it out.

"Hoohoo!"

Just by looking at this action, you can tell how painful and chilling it is.

The pain made Zhu Yan scream loudly, gave up his target, and turned to attack Ding Yubai in a rage.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Ding Yubai did the same thing. Relying on his Lingbo body skills, under the evil thoughts and consciousness, he was like having a God's perspective, moving back and forth under the feet of the Nine-headed Zhuyan, and stabbing them one by one from time to time to attract hatred.
