With a rattling sound, huge guillotines swung.
The sharp guillotines continuously chopped down into the grooves below the gate, sparks flying and emitting a chilling metallic clang.
The guillotines were quickly pulled up and chopped down again, and the clanging sound echoed in this open space, creating a tense and dangerous atmosphere.
"I feel pretty good," Xie Xie said, stretching his body, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.
As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, this was a great opportunity for him to show off his skills.
Tang Wulin, on the other hand, calmly observed the movement trajectory of the guillotines, looking for the best path to pass through.
"Uh…"
Xu Xiaoyan looked nervously at the rapidly rising and falling guillotines.
She unconsciously swallowed, "You guys can pass, but what about me…"
"It's alright, Xiao Yan, I'm here," Fang Yang comforted softly.
"Mm."
Xu Xiaoyan looked up at Fang Yang, and the calmness gradually returned to her bright eyes.
Gu Yue stood to the side, her expression indifferent, seemingly unconcerned by this assessment.
Fang Yang turned to Wang Jinxi and reminded him, "Wang Jinxi, be careful."
Zhang Yangzi also looked at Wang Jinxi, and the two nodded in understanding.
As partners for many years, they had long developed a tacit understanding that required no words.
"Don't worry."
Wang Jinxi responded in a deep voice, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
He stretched his muscles and bones, and the Bone Dragon Spirit possessed him, white bone armor beginning to cover his entire body.
"Gu Yue, you go first, I'll take Xiao Yan," Fang Yang said in a deep voice.
Gu Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this, a flicker of understanding in her black eyes.
As everyone was ready, Fang Yang led them to the entrance of the guillotine gate.
Shen Yi stood to the side and began the countdown: "Three, two, one, start!"
With Shen Yi's command, seven figures shot towards the guillotine gate array like arrows leaving a bowstring.
Xie Xie took the lead, his figure transforming into a golden stream of light, nimbly weaving through the gaps where the guillotines fell.
Tang Wulin followed closely, the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit blooming in his palm. The Blue Silver Emperor sensed the surrounding environment, helping him avoid danger.
Gu Yue's figure was like a light butterfly, gracefully weaving through the gaps where the guillotines fell.
Every step she took landed on a safe spot, as if she could predict the timing of every guillotine's fall, her movements fluid and unhindered.
"Three Thousand Thunderclap Movement!" Fang Yang lightly shouted, holding Xu Xiaoyan steadily in his arms.
Amidst the flashing lightning, his figure appeared and disappeared, transforming into streaks of blue afterimages, moving freely between the guillotines.
Xu Xiaoyan tightly clutched Fang Yang's neck, her small face buried in his shoulder, yet she could feel the Qi from Fang Yang's body.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, this well-matched pair, were even more at ease.
They were already skilled at cooperation, and working together, they easily passed the entire assessment.
"You all passed with full marks." Shen Yi tried to maintain a calm expression, but a hint of surprise still flashed in her eyes.
One must know that this guillotine gate array had eliminated quite a few students who came to apply.
In the new student assessment observation room, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion watched Fang Yang and the others successfully pass the three assessments, all nodding in approval.
"Are these the students taught by that old fellow Zhuo Shi? They are indeed good," an elder of the Sea God Pavilion commented.
Silver Moon Douluo Cai Yue'er spoke, "They were indeed taught well, even daring to destroy the mural of the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King…"
"It's just a mere mural, Old Li doesn't even care, why do you bother?" another Sea God Pavilion elder retorted.
"Hmph." Cai Yue'er said no more and turned to leave.
…
"Let's go!"
Shen Yi turned and led the group towards the main teaching building.
Fang Yang and the others followed closely, and soon arrived at the second floor of the main teaching building.
The walls here were as white as snow, with peculiar patterns carved in gold.
"This is… a spirit tool design blueprint!"
Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise. She had chosen the mecha design major, and the foundation of mecha design was spirit tool design, so she naturally recognized it at a glance.
"This round of assessment tests your specialties."
Shen Yi explained, "You need to demonstrate one specialty; only one will be assessed."
As soon as she finished speaking, two middle-aged men and an old woman arrived.
The old woman held an ancient sandalwood cane, her steps faltering.
She walked directly to the long table in the center of the venue and sat down in the middle.
The two middle-aged men clearly respected her greatly, only sitting down on either side of her after she was seated.
Shen Yi stood respectfully to the side.
"Alright, little Shen Yi, you can begin!" The old woman looked at Shen Yi, her hoarse voice carrying an undeniable authority.
"Yes, Elder Cai!"
Shen Yi bowed respectfully, then turned to Fang Yang and the others, "Who wants to go first?"
"I'll go first."
Xie Xie confidently stepped forward and bowed to the three examiners.
Four pitch-black spirit rings suddenly rose from beneath his feet, gleaming with a deep light.
Xie Xie flipped his right hand, and the Dagger of Time and Space appeared in his palm, while a faint phantom of a Dragon of Time and Space emerged behind him.
A Dragon-type pressure immediately permeated the air, directly pressing upon Cai Yue'er and the two examiners.
The two middle-aged examiners both showed surprise, exchanging glances.
"Oh? A ten-thousand-year spirit ring paired with a Dragon-type Tool Spirit." Cai Yue'er narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice carrying a hint of interest.
Xie Xie nodded, a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Is that all?"
Cai Yue'er continued to ask, her tone carrying a hint of challenge.
Xie Xie did not answer, but instead suddenly swung the Dagger of Time and Space in his hand.
The dagger cut open a spatial rift, and he directly passed through space, reappearing several meters away.
"This is… a Dragon-type Tool Spirit with spatial attributes!" Cai Yue'er finally showed a hint of surprise.
She finally announced, her voice carrying a hint of praise: "Not bad, a Dragon-type Spirit with spatial attributes. Assessment passed, full marks."
"Thank you, examiner."
Xie Xie bowed respectfully, but couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl slightly upward.
"Mm."
Cai Yue'er nodded slightly, "Next."
The second to appear was Tang Wulin. He walked to the center of the venue and bowed respectfully to the three examiners.
"Begin."
Cai Yue'er's voice was still calm.
She clearly remembered that it was this young man who had destroyed the mural of the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, lightly raised his right hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit slowly appeared.
Blue-green vines extended from his palm.
These vines glowed with faint blue-green patterns, exuding a pure and powerful aura of life.
"Blue Silver Emperor?!"
Cai Yue'er suddenly stood up from her seat.
A look of shock appeared on her aged face, "Your Spirit is actually the Blue Silver Emperor!"
The two middle-aged examiners also stood up simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.
The Blue Silver Emperor was the Spirit of Sea God Tang San twenty thousand years ago, and it held special significance in the Spirit Master's world.
Even ten thousand years ago, Tang Sect Sect Leader Tang Ya's Spirit was only ordinary Blue Silver Grass, and it only evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor with the help of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.
The Bloodline Legacy of the Blue Silver Emperor is extremely special, always passed down through a single line, unless two Blue Silver Emperors, one male and one female, exist simultaneously. (PS: Second setting!)
"Is your surname Tang?"
Cai Yue'er couldn't help but ask, her voice tinged with urgency.
Tang Wulin blinked in some confusion, but still answered truthfully: "That's right, my name is Tang Wulin."
Cai Yue'er took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in her heart.
She sat back down, tapping her cane lightly on the ground: "Good, you passed the assessment, full marks."
