Outside the tower.
Following a white light, a figure slowly appeared.
“Out, someone has come out!”
Many students stared at the figure in the white light.
A young student walked out.
“Teacher Mo.”
He walked toward Teacher Mo with shame. “I’m sorry. I’m very slow. I could only reach the third level…”
Teacher Mo was full of smiles as he shook his head and comforted him. “It’s alright. To be able to reach the third level, you’re much better than the bottom students from previous years. It’s indeed a period of flourishment for martial arts. You have performed very outstandingly…”
“Where’s Lou Qianxue?”
As the two of them talked, a cold and domineering voice forcefully interrupted them.
At the next moment.
The young man who had spoken these words fiercely grasped the collar of the other young man, who had come out of the tower, with one hand and lifted him. “When is Lou Qianxue coming out?”
The young man screamed, and his face turned pale. “You… Who are you?”
“I’m asking you, when is Lou Qianxue coming out?”
“Shen Shuangmu!” Teacher Mo coldly shouted, “What are you doing? Quickly put him down!”
The cold and sharp murderous aura made the young man’s whole body tremble. “I… I don’t know… When I reached the third level, she had already passed it… I don’t know where she is. And I also don’t know when she is coming out.”
Thump!
Shen Shuangmu loosened his grip, and the young man fell to the ground.
“How’s it possible?” Shen Shuangmu’s expression worsened. With a gloomy gaze, he stared at the trial tower. “A useless piece of trash can actually reach the fourth level of the trial tower?”
“!!!”
Everyone else was also stunned.
“What?”
“That Lou Qianxue! Lou Qianxue is at the Essence Martial realm! Yet she actually crossed the third level… How could it be?”
The crowd raised their heads at the same time. They saw two spots of light on the fourth level of the black tower.
Gulp!
It became difficult for everyone to swallow their saliva. “Could it be that one of the spots of light belongs to Lou Qianxue?”
“How unimaginable! An alchemist who raised her cultivation with pills can actually reach the fourth level of the trial tower.”
“Alchemist…” Shen Shuangmu tightly held his long sword and disdainfully said, “It’s nothing strange for an alchemist, who gets help from pills, to reach the fourth level.”
The crowd froze for a while before reacting.
“Yes. Many pills can help in increasing a person’s physical strength and speed… Some evil pills can even stimulate people’s potential power and allow them to use their potential in advance. Who knows! Lou Qianxue may have eaten those pills…”
“Oh gosh! Use one’s potential in advance. That will ruin her talent and future. She actually did that!”
“Humph. Some people have shallow insights. To satisfy their pride, they can ruin their own future in a mere trial tower. How ridiculous!” Shen Shuangmu sneered. “However, even if she leaves the trial tower with her potential intact, she won’t have a future! Senior Brother Mu and I will definitely not let her off!”
“Shen Shuangmu!” Teacher Mo’s face changed. “What do you mean? What do you all want to do to her? Let me tell you! if you kill the innocent in the academy’s premises, you’ll be expelled! If it’s serious, you may even need to pay for it with your life!”
Shen Shuangmu viciously smiled and coldly looked at Teacher Mo. “Don’t worry, Teacher Mo. We’ll definitely obey the school rules because killing her is letting her off too easily!”
“…” The other students flinched as they retreated a step. “Offending Senior Brother Mu is so scary!”
Soon, one of the spots of light from the fourth level shifted to the fifth level of the trial tower.
“Fifth level!” When a student spotted this, he instantly became agitated. “Someone has reached the fifth level!”
