The last three remaining Wuhou, Ye Fan, Ling Qingshan, and Hao Ziming, arrived at the twelfth floor of the Star Tower.
"Death Stone?!"
Ling Qingshan frowned, and when he saw a dark-colored meteorite sealed by an ice crystal glazed artifact in the center of the hall, he couldn't help but secretly say something bad.
Hao Ziming's expression also changed slightly.
This dead stone will emit a strange light, which is pervasive and cannot be blocked by the energy shield. Under the light of the dead stone, it will cause some damage to Wu Hou's body.
Ye Fan felt a little surprised. The dim light emitted by this dark dead stone was somewhat similar to the light of the "ghost world" that the Ghost Saint came to the desert of Xiayang County.
He was a little confused. Could the Star Meteor Death Stone be related to the power of the Ghost Saint? !
Although the light of the dead stone caused some damage to Wu Hou's body, in order to pass this level of the tower, the seal of the dead stone must be unlocked.
"Just release 10% of the sealing power of the dead stone. If you encounter the dead stone on the twelfth floor of the Star Tower, you are unlucky!"
Hao Ziming shook his head.
Ling Qingshan clapped his hands and released a burst of vitality, unlocking a small part of the power that sealed the dead stone.
The hall was suddenly shrouded in a large death light.
The three of them found a place to sit down in the hall, and then started to meditate.
Under the shroud of the ghostly death light, a small number of subtle abnormalities began to appear in their bodies, including cell fragmentation, lesions, alienation, aging, death... It was just that this process was relatively slow, making them feel a little uncomfortable, and it was not intense. of lethality.
Because ordinary energy shields could not withstand the penetration of this ghostly death light, they did not open the shield at all. They just took the time to repair the damaged body and try their best to maintain their own condition so that they could face the stars on the next level. tower.
Ye Fan originally wanted to turn on the thunder energy shield, which can eliminate the impact of the death light to the greatest extent. But after thinking about it, I gave up and accepted the irradiation of the death light to strengthen the recovery power of my body. This can improve my body's resistance to the death light.
The three of them suffered in the hall for an hour.
The dead light in the hall quickly condensed into a human-shaped shadow. Its appearance is exactly the same as that of a man in black. It is just a ball of pure light. It holds a black light dagger in its hand and moves at high speed in the hall. It is like a phantom of ghostly smoke, flickering and appearing. , it is difficult to capture its figure.
"No, it's the Shadow Assassin! It stabbed me with a knife, and the damage was so great that I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for several months. Be careful, both of you!"
Ling Qingshan's expression darkened, and he suddenly pulled out a golden mysterious knife from his waist and placed himself on strict guard.
"Marquis Qingshan is worried! If he is hurt by it, my more than 20 years of experience as Marquis of Wu will be in vain. Little brother Ye, you are the weakest, so you must be careful."
Hao Ziming chuckled, took out a cyan black sword, and looked at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled lightly, without saying a word, and danced the purple ice phantom gun in his hand, with cold eyes, staring at the ghostly mist moving at high speed in the hall, floating uncertainly.
He's really not afraid of this shadow assassin.
Because he is Lei Wuhou, once he uses the thunder energy combat skills, it is not difficult to kill this shadow assassin.
The shadow assassin flickers in and out, and can even disappear completely in the hall for a short time. However, this duration is relatively short and cannot completely disappear for a long time. The shadow assassin quickly approached them several hundred feet away.
Suddenly, the shadow assassin disappeared.
All three of them looked tense.
Although I don't know who the shadow assassin is attacking.
But it assassin must have launched an attack.
"Semi-circle chop!"
Ling Qingshan shouted sharply and slashed with the golden sword. An extremely domineering golden energy slash swept across a hundred feet in front of him.
Hao Ziming also used a wide-range sword energy skill to sweep around to prevent the shadow assassin from sneaking up on him.
Ye Fan did not move, his expression was extremely calm, but the purple ice phantom gun in his hand exuded an icy air, and there were almost countless fine snow mist ice crystals floating within a hundred feet around him. This large area of snow mist and ice crystals is under the control of his spiritual mind.
Even if the Shadow Assassin can hide his figure, once he crashes into this large area of snow fog and ice crystals, it will immediately cause the snow fog and ice crystals to move abnormally. The snow mist within a hundred feet range was enough for him to launch a counterattack instantly.
He doesn't need to move, he can still prevent the shadow assassin from sneaking up on him.
The shadow assassin attacked Ling Qingshan.
"Pfft~!"
However, it did not succeed in the sneak attack. Instead, it was hit by Ling Qingshan's golden sword with a large-scale semi-circular slash, almost cutting off half of its waist.
The Shadow Assassin quickly retreated, his injured waist recovering quickly.
But Ling Qingshan was not willing to let it go. He was very experienced and immediately rushed to catch up. His sharp golden sword slashed wildly one after another. The shadow assassin who was almost chasing him had no way to escape, and he didn't even have time to hide and escape. Ling Qingshan chased him so closely that the shadow assassin couldn't escape from his attack range.
A short moment of effort!
boom!
The shadow assassin was beheaded by Ling Qingshan and died completely with an explosion.
Ye Fan couldn't help but admire him for being so sharp and straightforward.
"Marquis Qingshan is so good at killing you! A powerful ghost lord like Shadow Assassin only made one move and he was chased by you all over the palace with no way to escape."
Hao Ziming immediately put away the Qingxuan Sword and chuckled.
"What's so difficult about the first-grade Ghost Lord! If a third- and fourth-grade Ghost Lord is released, I'm afraid all three of us can leave the tower directly."
Ling Qingshan curled his lips and disapproved.
The three of them walked towards the thirteenth floor of the Star Tower... In order to avoid consuming too much, they just opened the seal of 10% of the power of the meteorite.
The fourteenth floor of the Star Tower...the fifteenth floor of the Star Tower.
Three hours later, the three Wu Hous went to the sixteenth floor of the Star Tower.
Even if the three of them are powerful Wuhou in the Imperial Academy, they are already exhausted after rushing through the first fifteen floors of the Star Tower.
The three of them worked together to barely kill the phantom beast on the fifteenth floor of the Star Tower.
The trial of the Star Tower lasted for fifteen or sixteen hours. The vitality was consumed so much that the vitality in the body could not be replenished.
"It seems that the sixteenth floor of the Star Tower is the last floor of this trial! After finishing this floor, you must leave. I really can't hold on any longer."
Hao Ziming shook his head and sighed.
If Ling Qingshan and Ye Fan didn't still have some remaining strength and planned to go up to the sixteenth floor to fight, he probably wouldn't have followed them up to the sixteenth floor. If Ling Qingshan and Ye Fan were asked to go up to practice and he didn't follow, he would feel a little disadvantaged.
Ling Qingshan opened the door with a bang and entered the sixteenth floor of the Star Tower.
The three of them entered the lobby on the 16th floor of the Star Tower and were shocked almost simultaneously when they saw a pure white meteorite inside the ice crystal glazed artifact.
Their expressions were full of ecstasy.
"This... has happened! Brother Ye, do you know what kind of meteorite this is? I'm sure you don't know! Other meteorites are more common, even in county and city governments. But this one is very rare. This one is very rare. The star meteorite is the only one in Canglan Kingdom. It is rarely encountered even in the Star Tower, and I have only encountered it two or three times in the Imperial College over the years!"
Hao Ziming suppressed his ecstasy and said to Ye Fan.
"Time Stone! It can change the speed of time passing in a small area, or speed up time, or slow down time! If you practice within the scope of Time Stone, you can gain a lot more time than others."
Ye Fan was surprised and said with joy on his face.
"How do you know this is the Time Stone?"
Hao Ziming's face was full of surprise and a little depressed.
Originally, he was thinking that Mark didn't know anything about it, so he could just talk about it. I didn't expect Ye Fan to know this.
"Have you two brought enough food and training supplies with you? I am going to open 10% of the time stone seal, release its maximum power, and practice more in this Star Tower! If you don't bring enough supplies, I'm afraid This precious opportunity is going to be wasted."
Ling Qingshan suppressed the joy in his heart and asked the two of them.
Once you get out of this Star Tower, you can't get in. You can only wait for the next opportunity. But the Time Stone is not that easy to encounter.
Hao Ziming immediately said: "I have enough supplies for three years with me!"
Once the 100% power of the time stone in this star tower is turned on, the passage of time will suddenly change drastically, and then "one hour" will become "three years", which is a very long time. If you don't carry enough cultivation materials with you, then staying inside is a waste of time.
"I have enough food and supplies for three years with me. Brother Qingshan, please activate the 100% maximum power of the Time Stone."
Ye Fan smiled.
"Why do you carry so many training supplies with you?"
Hao Ziming and Ling Qingshan suddenly stared in disbelief.
Generally speaking, Wuhou cultivates and only carries a month or two of cultivation materials with him. If he doesn't have enough, he just goes to buy Yuanshi. Anyway, it's very convenient in the royal city.
Under normal circumstances, no one would hoard enough training materials for three years, because it consumes too many yuan stones and is also a huge burden and waste for Wuhou.
Hao Ziming and Ling Qingshan, the two Wuhous, were well prepared and knew that there was a certain chance of encountering the Time Stone in the Star Tower, so they carried three years' worth of supplies with them. Once they encounter the Time Stone, they can practice in it for up to three years.
However, Ye Fan, a new supervisor, has only been in school for the first month. How could he carry three years' worth of cultivation materials with him? It looks like I am ready to practice in the Star Tower for a long time.
This simply made both of them feel magical.
Hao Ziming was stunned for a moment, his expression changed with surprise, and a look of shock suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "Brother Ye, could it be that you have read the policy essay "Star Tower Test" written by Zhao Zhe, who was ranked second in last year's rankings? "Refining experience"?"
Ling Qingshan was also very surprised, he also knew about this policy article.
Except for the Wuhous of the Imperial College, few people know what questions will be asked in the Canglan Palace Examination and what policy essays the prison students will write.
Even if you are a supervisor, you don't know what is written in other people's policies.
Unless you spend your precious merits to go to the Imperial College Library to check the contents of these imperial examination papers.
If Ye Fan had read this Zhao Zhe's policy article, then this seemingly mysterious Star Tower would have no secrets for him.
As a new superintendent, Ye Fan spent his first month in school to read the Imperial Examination Policies in the Imperial College Library and prepared materials for the Star Tower Trial.
This only proves three points.
First, Ye Fan has a lot of merit, so he doesn't mind spending his merit to check the palace examination questions and policy papers. Secondly, Ye Fan probably checked it out because he wanted to compete for the next palace examination. Otherwise, there was no need to waste his merit in checking it in the first month of school. Third, Ye Fan has considerable financial resources. He can purchase three years of training materials in one go. He has more financial resources than many old Wuhou.
What kind of people are Ling Qingshan and Hao Ziming? They are both powerful Wuhou who are preparing to win the imperial examination this year.
Their intelligence is so high that they can infer these three points from Ye Fan's words.
These three points shocked them and made them look at Mark with admiration.
The two of them have always regarded Ye Fan as a junior supervisor, and did not regard him as a competitor who passed the imperial examination after a year and a half. But now, they must treat this rapidly rising new competitor with caution.
