Soman Shuchiin, starting from Fulilian to become a magician

Zanze then went on to explain that after Ye Shanming's move just now, no one stood up to question him.

"Anyone who uses it will be disqualified. However, I hope that when you feel you can no longer continue the attack, you will decisively use it. The test takes place every three years, but you only have one life."

Zanze sighed softly: "The branch chief and I will also enter the maze together, but we will not interfere with the behavior of the candidates."

"Uncle, what about the assessment time?"

Rabinie raised her hand. Compared with others, she was more familiar with Ye Shanming. Even though the latter looked very majestic now, she dared to ask.

"The bottle will automatically break at dawn tomorrow, and that will be the end of the test."

Chapter 35: Yubel tries to take the back door.

After explaining everything clearly, Ye Shanming took Zanze to sit alone in a place, separated from the other candidates by a distance, obviously waiting for them to enter the scattered royal tomb.

Because the bald magician's words showed that the maze before them was more dangerous than they had imagined, the candidates did not rush in. Instead, they gathered together with their teammates from the previous round to discuss strategies and exchange information.

"I didn't expect that Uncle Ye Shanming is actually the branch director of the Mainland Magic Association. It really shocked me."

Rabinie, Connie, Philen and Fulilian gathered together, but the topic was about Ye Shanming.

"Phiren, did the uncle tell you about the precautions for this round of assessment?"

In response to Rabinie's question, Philen shook her head. She had just learned about Ye Shanming's identity and had never heard Ye Shanming talk about this.

"Really? That's troublesome."

Rabinie twirled his fingers through his hair, a look of annoyance on his face. "My brother was once a member of the vanguard of the scattered raiders of the Tomb of the King. Apart from his team, no one else survived."

As she spoke, Rabinie shared the information she had obtained from her brother with the other three. As she spoke, even Fulilian showed a hint of annoyance.

"It looks like a building from the Unified Kingdom period."

After studying the entrance for a long time, Duncan came to his own conclusion: "The maze has multiple entrances, but each one leads to the bottom floor."

"As long as we investigate all the entrances, we should be able to understand the internal structure."

"Then we have to investigate separately."

A magician named Mei Te Dai, who was a gentle older sister type that matched Zain’s imagination, spoke up. Her words made the others nod, but some people disagreed with her idea.

“Why did it suddenly become a team effort?”

The young male magician in green started to speak, his eyes full of distrust towards others. His words also attracted the attention of all the candidates who were discussing in groups.

"There is no competitive element in this test; cooperation is the most appropriate approach."

The mature and steady Duncan looked at him and expressed his thoughts. Ye Shanming also interjected appropriately:

"Just a gentle reminder from me. If you don't cooperate, I'm afraid no one will pass."

"I still stick to my opinion. This assessment doesn't require your teammates to survive. If you cooperate, you might even risk being abandoned."

The male magician took a step forward, randomly selected an entrance, and entered the scattered royal tomb directly.

"..."

His words successfully planted a seed of suspicion in everyone's hearts. A moment later, the remaining magicians all formed teams according to the grouping of the first round, and each chose an entrance to enter the scattered royal tomb.

Ye Shanming just watched the situation quietly without giving any further reminders. Anyway, the escape props had been handed over to individuals, so there was no need to worry about safety.

"Phiren, let's go too."

Fulilian greeted the three of them, and Rabinie and Connie nodded, then followed Fulilian and Philen into the maze.

After a while, only five people from Duncan's side and two people from Yubel's side remained outside the maze.

"How foolish."

Duncan gave his own evaluation, then sat down with his back to the stone pillar, looking at Ye Shanming and Zanze who were motionless:

"Even that branch chief said so, yet he's still so arrogant."

"Grandpa, is that branch chief really that powerful? But I feel like the magic power he exudes isn't even as strong as yours."

Raofen, the girl with a bun, noticed his gaze and couldn't help but ask the question in her mind. Others also came over curiously.

They were all magicians of the younger generation, and they only knew that there was a branch chief, but they had no idea what he looked like, what magic he was good at, or what deeds he had done.

If he hadn't shown his skills when punishing the bald magician Bray, no one would have taken him seriously.

"I don't know his past deeds."

Duncan's face showed a look of reminiscence: "It's just that the first time the branch chief took action was more than forty years ago, when he sealed the Seven Collapse Sages Golden Country Mahat in Weiize."

"!"

Duncan stood up and, without waiting for the others to recover from their shock, took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the maze.

"Let's go too. Even the branch chief said so. We must all work together in this maze."

With the departure of Duncan and his group, only Yubel and her teammate from the previous round, Lanto, remained outside.

"Hey, branch chief, I didn't expect you to be so capable."

Yubel's gaze lingered on Ye Shanming. She wanted more and more to use resonance to dig out powerful magic from this man.

"Not that great, I just know a little more magic."

"Then can I follow the branch chief into the maze? I think I can reach the bottom floor smoothly."

Yubel gave a sly smile, turned around, and said to the silent Lanto, "Mr. Glasses, what do you think of this decision?"

"Intellectually, this decision is not wrong. I agree with it, but it depends on the branch chief's opinion."

Lanto pushed his glasses up with his right index finger, looked calmly at Ye Shanming and Zanze, and asked for their opinions.

"It complies with the rules, but Zanze and I won't help you."

Ye Shanming stood up from the ground and called to Zanze:

"Let's go too, Zanze."

In the dim and narrow corridor, only the candles lit on the wall brought a ray of light. Ye Shanming and Zanze walked side by side, and their footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Yubel and Lanto followed them silently, took out their magic wands, and were always on guard against possible dangers.

"I say, can you please control your inner thoughts for a moment? How many times have you done this?"

After they walked forward for a while, Ye Shanming finally couldn't help but spoke helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. Why don't you just let me cut it and give it a try?"

The smile on Yubel's face became more and more dangerous. If a child saw it, he would be scared to tears on the spot.

"Even though I feel like I can't cut it, it would be fine if I could cut some clothes or hair. Let me give it a try."

When she said these words, Ye Shanming did not feel a trace of malice from her.

"You'll have plenty of opportunities later."

Unable to bear Yubel's gaze, Ye Shanming hit her head hard. The latter felt pain and couldn't help but squat down with her head in her hands. It took a while for the pain to subside.

I looked up and found that Ye Shanming had walked a long distance away, so I hurriedly jogged to catch up with him.

"Master Ye Shanming, is it really okay for you to follow me into the maze?"

Zanze raised his head, his rare pink pupils reflected Ye Shanming's figure, and his words were full of worry.

"It's okay. I've tested it before. If they can work together, they can still pass."

Chapter 36 Can you show it to me again?

"In other words, is there something in the deepest part of this maze that we must work together to defeat?"

Lanto was thinking in his heart, but on the surface he remained silent and just made some arrangements silently.

Ye Shanming glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

Did you notice?!

Lanto was shocked. It was the first time that someone noticed his clone magic. How sensitive was this branch director to magic?

After Yubel was hit on the head by him, he calmed down a lot. Soon, everyone came to a hall. A door that was four or five meters high was closed, and there were two evil ghost statues on the pillars on both sides of the door.

"Is this the middle level? As expected of the branch chief, this journey has been quite easy."

Yubel carried the magic wand on his shoulder, walked forward, placed his right hand on the door, and injected magic power into it.

Click!

An unusual noise suddenly rang out in the hall. Yubel looked up and saw that the statues on the stone pillars on both sides began to move, flapping their wings and rushing towards Yubel who was opening the door.

Ye Shanming did not get involved. He took Zanze and quietly retreated to the side, watching Yubel and Lanto deal with the two gargoyles.

"As expected, there are always things like gargoyles in a maze."

Yubel spoke lightly and jumped back to avoid the gargoyle's pounce. A normal attack magic shot from behind her, directly shattering half of its body, and countless pieces of gravel fell down.

"Thanks a lot, Glasses-kun."

Yubel said with a smile, and a defensive magic spread out in a small area in front of him, blocking the claws of another gargoyle.

He swung the magic wand in the shape of a sharp weapon in his hand, and an invisible slash flashed through the air, splitting the gargoyle directly in half from the head.

The gargoyle, half of whose body was broken by Lanto, lay on the ground, with red light flashing in its eyes and its mouth wide open. Magic power accumulated in it and turned into a ball of red light.

boom!

The red ray shot out with great force, hitting Lanto's defensive magic and dispersing into dozens of tiny red beams.

Lanto's eyes remained calm behind his glasses. He fired a normal attack magic spell, smashing the gargoyle's head and the floor tile, ending this brief battle against the monster.

"Branch Chief, you really don't interfere at all."

Yubel put the magic wand on his shoulder again and looked at Ye Shanming with a smile.

"After all, he's a man who has seen my body. How cold-blooded and heartless!"

Facing Yubel's deliberate misunderstanding, Ye Shanming did not indulge her, but continued to follow her words:

"To be honest, I didn't see it clearly that night. Can you show it to me again?"

Yubel's face flushed slightly, and he placed his right hand on his suspenders, then immediately retracted it.

"Forget it, Mr. Glasses is still here. I'll show it to you in private later."

After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door and went downstairs along the stairs.

Looking at Yubel's somewhat panicked back, Ye Shanming chuckled:

"Let's go."

It seemed that Yubel was stimulated by Ye Shanming's counterattack. Since then, she has not harassed him verbally anymore. Instead, the silent Lanto has become her new target, which makes Lanto very annoyed.

But it was too difficult for him, a socially anxious person, to deal with Yubel directly like Ye Shanming did. He could only cover his head and endure Yubel.

After arriving at the middle area, Ye Shanming could feel the floor beneath his feet vibrating slightly from time to time. He thought that several other teams were also fighting with the monsters in the maze.

Suddenly, a wave of magic power so weak that it was almost imperceptible suddenly surged out from the deepest part of the maze and quickly swept across the entire maze. All the magicians, including Fulilian, did not notice it. Only Ye Shanming felt it faintly.

After looking at Yubel who was still harassing Lanto with words, Ye Shanming quietly pulled Zanze to the wall. Zanze looked at him and understood what he meant.

"Has it started yet?"

puff!

A bunch of hair pierced directly into Lanto's chest, nailing him to the ground. As the hair was pulled out, Lanto knelt on the ground powerlessly. His heart had disappeared, replaced by a large transparent hole in front and back. Blood gushed out like a floodgate, and the bottle containing the escape doll rolled powerlessly on the floor tiles.

"!"

Before Yubel could react, three ordinary attack magic spells as thick as her arms shot towards her at the same time. She subconsciously put up defensive magic in front of her.

boom!

Smoke and dust were everywhere.

"Should we say they are unlucky or we are lucky, Zanze?"

The sudden attack did not exceed Ye Shanming's expectations. He glanced at the disappearing body of Lanto and the bottle, and looked at the ceiling, where the two attackers were.

"They must have felt threatened by the branch chief, so they were sent here."

Zanze replied and followed Ye Shanming's gaze. One of the attackers looked exactly like her in appearance and magical aura. The only difference was that the attacker was gray and black all over, like an unpainted clay doll.
