Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The over two hundred disciples who passed the assessment hurriedly followed, flying out through the cracks that the General Hall Law Enforcement Elder had shattered.

As for the several hundred disciples who had fallen in the Illusion Realm, they were ignored, and this place became their final resting place.

There's no helping it; reality is just that cruel.

While seeking to acquire more resources, they were also greedy enough to try to snatch treasure, there's always a price to pay, and for such disciples, the Holy Palace does not show any mercy whatsoever.

In a place like the True Spirit Continent, only by showing extraordinary talent and exceptional abilities can one gain the respect and favor of others; clearly, these disciples did not.

After all, there are far too many disciples in the Holy Palace.

"They're coming out!"

The many disciples waiting on the plaza, upon seeing the two hundred plus disciples following the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement flying out mightily, couldn't help but feel enlivened.

Just now they saw the two thousand and eight hundred eliminated disciples being sent out from the Illusion Realm and were quite frightened.

They thought that all the disciples had been utterly wiped out.

In the end, among these disciples, they did not see Xiao Ye, Fang Jie, and other outstanding disciples from the Heavenly Hall, and then they realized that the Heavenly Palace Disciples taking the assessment had not all been eliminated.

But what exactly was the content of the second round of the assessment? It was just too extreme, eliminating so many disciples at once.

Immediately, the observing disciples started to discuss animatedly, fiercely speculating about the content of the second round of the assessment.

"I wonder what the third round of the assessment will be."

At this moment, Xiao Ye flew out of the Illusion Realm and heaved a sigh of relief.

Even he had to admit that the first two rounds of the General Hall's assessment were just too extreme. Had he not been careful and cautious enough, he might have also been ensnared.

Therefore, he could not afford to be careless about the third round of the assessment.

"Now you all have half an hour to rest, hurry up and adjust your state. The third round of assessment will begin in half an hour," announced the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement at this time, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Ye either intentionally or unintentionally.

Rest again!

Upon hearing this, the two hundred plus disciples who passed could not help but feel helpless.

The last time, the General Hall Law Enforcement Elder had said the same thing, and what they faced next was the Illusion Realm, a place that made most of the assessment disciples sink into despair. So what kind of assessment would they be facing next?

Instantly, the two hundred plus disciples all sat down cross-legged to rest, seizing the time and waiting for the half-hour to pass.

As for those who were eliminated in the second round, one by one, their faces were ashen, and their eyes were filled with loss.

They had fought hard, with some heavily injured, and some even fallen, and the treasures they had grabbed turned out to be as ephemeral as flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, and they also missed the opportunity to enter the Main Hall. This outcome was something no one could accept.

Now, they could only watch the two hundred and something disciples enviously.

"Palace Master, for the third round of the assessment, let these disciples determine the outcome with their strength," the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement transmitted his voice to the Holy Palace Master.

Although he was fully in charge of this assessment, with the Holy Palace Master present, he naturally had to seek the other party's opinion.

"Alright, the final round of assessment will determine the two spots to enter the Main Hall based on strength," nodded the Holy Palace Master, replying via voice transmission.

"Understood!" The Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement smiled slightly, his gaze turning towards Xiao Ye.

He and the Holy Palace Master shared the same high expectations for Xiao Ye's strength.

Being the Grand Elder of the Main Hall, his Cultivation was naturally no simple matter, an absolute Titled Emperor Martial. In the entire Holy Palace, he was only slightly inferior to the Holy Palace Master.

With his insight, he could easily discern the impressive level of Xiao Ye's current Cultivation.

"In just over a year, it's really hard to know what this kid experienced during his travels outside, to have his Cultivation advance so rapidly," pondered the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement inwardly.

Time passed slowly, and the various Elders also remained silent, each sitting in their seats with their own thoughts, some closing their eyes to rest, while others whispered in conversation.

When half an hour had passed—

"Alright, time's up, everyone stop!" The Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement, having timed it perfectly, stood up from his seat and proclaimed.

Swoosh!

Over two hundred disciples simultaneously opened their eyes and stood up.

"The General Hall's assessment has actually come to an end by now."

"I believe you have all seen it, the first two rounds of assessment were testing your willpower and your Martial Arts Heart, and did not have any requirements for your strength and Cultivation."

"So, the third round, which is also the final round, is a test of your strength and Cultivation."

"As long as your strength is sufficient, you will be able to carve a bloody path in the final round, leading straight to our General Hall, becoming one of the devilish disciples of the Taiyi Palace General Hall, enjoying endless glory!" said the Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement slowly.

His words directly stirred the blood of the two hundred plus disciples.

"The final round is finally testing strength!" Xiao Ye's eyes shone with a clear excitement, his face showing his exhilarated emotions.

What he feared the least was a test of strength.

With his current Cultivation and all of his trump cards, he had no equal in the Heavenly Hall; once he made his move, he could sweep away everything!

The disciples standing next to him were also excited.

Like Xiao Ye, they were most worried that the Elders of the General Hall would come up with a bunch of extreme assessments to trouble them, leading to their downfall due to neglect.

In contrast, testing strength and Cultivation seemed much more straightforward and open; whoever had the bigger fist could carve that bloody path, and this also aligned with the Law of Survival of the True Spirit Continent.

"The third round of the test is divided into two smaller rounds."

"The first small round is the test of Cultivation!"

"The second small round tests the strength!"

"You should all know that a person's strength cannot solely depend on Cultivation. It will be influenced by the Cultivation Technique, Combat Techniques, and secret techniques one practices."

"In the first small round, only those whose tested Cultivation reaches the Third Level Late Stage of King Martial count as passing, automatically entering the second small round."

"In the second small round, you will be under the suppression of an array, all reduced to the same Cultivation level, and then fight each other. In the end, the two who can still stand within the array will be considered to have passed the assessment and will be allowed to enter our Main Hall."

The Grand Elder of the Main Hall Law Enforcement began to elaborate.

"The first small round and the second small round?" Xiao Ye's lips curved into a slight smile upon hearing this.

These assessment contents sounded quite interesting.
