Chapter 417: Fourth Level Begins

When two hours was up, the remaining demonic plants on the mountaintop took the initiative to retreat and all the pupils who hadn’t yet reached the top of the mountain were eliminated.

It was supposed to be very difficult to break through the tight encirclement of demonic plants in the third level, however due to the hypnotic effect of Yu Qing Qian’s guqin, many loopholes appeared in the defence lines and some pupils also seized the opportunity to successfully break through the level.

Nearly a hundred people eventually passed the third level. When the time was up, the Elder appeared and took those who had passed the level back to the altar.

In the hidden area at the altar, the superiors of the Holy Academy once again revealed expressions of not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

“Doesn’t this girl have too many tricks.” The Headmaster shook his head with a smile.

“I originally thought that this level would force out the demonic plants she had formed contracts with to fight, but I didn’t expect that she’d have such a method. That tune she played on the guqin isn’t simple.” The Honoured Chief of the Purple Peak said.

“But since the first level to the third level, Yu Qing Qian hasn’t yet shown her true strength. In the next level, I’m afraid that she’ll no longer be able to use tricks to pass.” The Honoured Chief of the Orange Peak said.

The Honoured Chief of the Blue Peak said: “The next level is a level specially set by Bai Ji shi’shu to test individual combat prowess. How Yu Qing Qian’s actual combat ability is will be revealed in the next level.”

The young man sitting beside the Headmaster showed some interest in his calm eyes, “I actually prefer to watch that little girl use tricks to pass the levels, but there really aren’t many options to use tricks in the level I set next. Whether she can pass it will be up to her true combat ability.”

The veiled, cyan-clothed woman glanced at Yu Qing Qian with a hint of anticipation hidden in her eyes.

The pupils who passed the third level returned to the altar, and Hong Gu Zi appeared again.

“It’s great that you can all pass the third level. The difficulty of this level has been reduced a lot because of Yu Qing Qian.” Hong Gu Zi glanced at Yu Qing Qian with a half-smile, then looked at everyone and said: “But the next level’s difficulty will increase a lot, you should all be mentally prepared.”

He then pointed to the altar on the left and said, “The fourth level will be two hours. There are three tests in total, only the pupils who reach the wooden house can pass the level.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large hole opened in the altar, revealing the scene inside.

It was a grassland with verdant grass. The path in the middle was relatively open, and there was a wooden house standing in the deepest part. However, the two sides of the grassland were surrounded by clumps of thorns, which also meant that the pupils challenging the level could only act in the space created in the middle.

“The fourth level begins, go.”

Hong Gu Zi announced the start of the fourth level and all the old pupils didn’t hesitate, stepping into the grassland one after another.

Yu Qing Qian and Che Tong Tong looked at each other, then entered the fourth level of the challenge.

“I wonder what this level has? It feels so quiet.” As soon as Che Tong Tong entered the grassland, while feeling the silence around her, she instead revealed a vigilant look.

Yu Qing Qian’s mental energy swept across the grassland, and after a moment, she said: “The mystery is underground. It’s coming.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the grassland suddenly shook. Huge hands stretched out from the soil one after another, and the figures were eventually revealed bit by bit.

The pupils in the challenge took a deep breath when they saw this, as many huge and powerful giants emerged from the grassland.

The entire bodies of these giants were made of rocks. The giants ahead had the lowest cultivation base of Six-leaf Sword King, while the pressure emitted by the rock giants appearing at the back were close to that of Spirit Emperor, belonging to the peak of Spirit King.

The rock giants were tall and mighty, with extraordinary momentum. Just looking at the thick green rocks on its body, one could tell that its defence was very strong. Its huge palms tore open the ground, which also meant that it was incredibly powerful, and their offence definitely wouldn’t be weak.
