Within an hour after that, the rankings on the scoreboard changed rapidly, and the scores were constantly refreshed.
Among them, the fastest growing is Ji Chaoyun.
A sharp howl suddenly sounded in the forest, Ji Chaoyun did not change his face, pierced the heart of the monster in front of him with a sword, blood splashed, and the scoreboard floating beside him changed again.
Ji Chaoyun, eight points, ranked tenth.
In just one hour, he jumped from the original forty-three to tenth.
Ji Chaoyun took a deep breath, put away the sword, and continued to walk forward.
In the secret realm, he is not the only one who keeps an eye on the ranking changes.
"Fuck, Ji Chaoyun is in the top ten?"
"Isn't he the last one to enter the secret realm, what are those trash at the yellow level doing?"
"At this rate, I believe he won the first place in the end."
…
"Shut up for me." Xu Zixing stood with his sword in his arms, his eyes coldly looking away from the scoreboard, "I haven't found a single beast, you still have time to care about others here?"
After a moment of silence in the forest, someone smiled apologetically: "Senior Brother Xu, isn't this trying to vent your anger? Do you want Ji Chaoyun to stay in the academy?"
"Want to vent your anger for me?" Xu Zixing glanced at several people and smiled lightly, "I have an idea, you all come here."
A few people gathered around, Xu Zixing lowered his voice and whispered something in their ears. The small voice was covered up by the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the dense forest.
Playing Jianping, as the competition in the secret territory became more and more intense, the atmosphere of watching the battle became more and more enthusiastic. Several people were sitting cross-legged on the grass in Yanjianping, pointing at the mirror and discussing.
"The fight was really fast this time. The five beasts have already killed two of them. It seems that they will be able to complete the assessment before dawn."
"I still haven't grabbed one of the yellow characters. In the end, I am inexperienced. It is too bullying to let the young rookie compete with the group of experienced veterans."
"Don't underestimate the freshmen, who didn't come here like this. Besides, aren't there several great ones this year?"
"Speaking of which, what happened to Ji Chaoyun? In the first hour, I thought he was going to take the first place in the Yellow Rank, but after so long, his points basically didn't move much?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone noticed Ji Chaoyun's ranking on the scoreboard.
Three hours have passed now, but Ji Chaoyun's score has only increased by three points, and he has fallen from tenth place to more than thirty.
"Really? But I heard that as long as he doesn't fall into the third rank, he will pass the test. He is still far from the fifth rank now, so it's understandable."
"But this assessment has just passed halfway, and the scores are so tight, how can he dare to relax?"
"I heard that his cultivation base lacks spiritual power, isn't he..."
"No." A voice sounded behind them, and everyone was shocked. Looking back, Feng Qi was standing behind them at some point. He raised his eyes and stared at the picture on the light mirror, and said coldly, "Someone is targeting him."
"His Royal Highness Feng Er?!" Those people stood up and bowed their heads to greet him, "His Royal Highness actually came to see the assessment?"
Feng Qi responded lightly. He had been staying in the woods not far away, so no one found him there.
Someone asked: "Your Highness said that someone is targeting Ji Chaoyun? How can you see it?"
Feng Qi: "In these three hours, Ji Chaoyun didn't let up. He didn't find any monsters at all. Because someone has been following him and cleared away the monsters around him in advance. It's clearly recorded on the light mirror. If you don't believe it, You can check it out in the Examination Hall after the assessment is over.”
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to ask why Feng Qi was so clear about what happened to Ji Chaoyun in the secret realm.
There are more than 50 light mirrors that transcribe the situation of the secret realm. You can understand it so clearly. Is this just staring at Ji Chaoyun from the beginning to the end
"But... who would do that?"
Feng Qi snorted coldly and did not answer.
This answer is actually self-evident, except for Xu Zixing, there can be no one else.
When Xu Zixing stole Ji Chaoyun's purse, Feng Qi just taught that person a lesson, and then let the other party lose money, and didn't make it a big deal. Even Xu Zixing couldn't figure out why Feng Qi didn't tell Xianzun about it.
Feng Qi was trying to keep Ji Chaoyun.
If the purse thing was revealed, Ji Chaoyun hijacked Qi Xuan and went to Hongmeng Mountain, and the out-of-control demonization could not be covered up. Therefore, he kept Xu Zixing until now.
Ji Chaoyun is right, retribution of grievances is nothing more than a lot of troubles.
If it wasn't for his unbearable anger at the beginning, Xu Zixing would not have done this kind of manipulation in the secret realm assessment.
Feng Qi stared at the light mirror. In the screen, Ji Chaoyun just looked up and looked over, as if through a light mirror, looking at Feng Qi coldly.
After three full hours of nothing, Ji Chaoyun obviously couldn't bear his temper, and even forgot to hide the trace of anger in his eyes that he had left behind for the Demon Age.
His brows were slightly wrinkled, and a bloodstain was drawn from the end of his eyes to his cheeks, revealing a dangerous and bewitching beauty.
Feng Qi's eyes softened and he said softly, "Just let you see if I can protect you or not."
Ji Chaoyun walked slowly in the dense forest, his eyes swept around freely. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of him, Ji Chaoyun's eyes moved slightly, and he quietly stuck to it.
A figure bowed and hid behind a tree, poked his head and looked out: "Hey, what about people..."
"Are you looking for me?" Ji Chaoyun came out from behind him and asked coldly.
The visitor trembled with fright: "Chao, Chaoyun!"
It is Qi Xuan.
Ji Chaoyun embraced the sword and looked him up and down: "Did Xu Zixing send you here?"
Qi Xuan hurriedly explained: "No, no! Since that incident, I haven't listened to him anymore, I really don't—"
Ji Chaoyun interrupted impatiently: "Then what are you doing?"
"I-I just wanted to tell you that Xu Zixing has been sending people to keep an eye on you in the dark." Qi Xuan said, "I met a few senior brothers around him, and I just bumped into them by accident. I heard them say something wrong, so I..."
Ji Chaoyun's expression was not surprised: "I know."
"You know? That's right, you are so powerful, how can you not know..." Qi Xuan hesitated for a while before saying, "Chaoyun, I always wanted to apologize to you, I didn't know that thing was so important to you. No, no matter what you know. I don't know, I shouldn't have done this. But Xu Zixing him..."
Qi Xuan: "I participated in the assessment of Hongmeng Mountain a hundred years ago, but... I didn't pass. If I was kicked out, I would have to wait another hundred years. I really don't want to wait any longer, so I was just confused... "
Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and interrupted softly, "I accept your apology."
Qi Xuan was startled.
Ji Chaoyun: "Everyone has a reason to come here, and it's not easy. I almost made a big mistake earlier, and we're even."
"Thank you, thank you Chaoyun."
Ji Chaoyun made a "hmm" and said again: "By the way, would you like to do me one more favor?"
After a while, on the other side of the cedar forest.
Xu Zixing has been searching for a long time in this cedar forest. This is the third time he has participated in the secret realm assessment. According to his experience, the place where the next beast is most likely to haunt is near here.
A strange sound came from the depths of the jungle. He drew his sword and chased after him, but saw a red-clothed wandering soul floating in the woods. The wandering soul noticed him, his lips cracked in a strange arc, and blood flowed down.
Just an ordinary monster.
Xu Zixing let out a "tsk" and was about to kill with his sword.
Suddenly, a sharp sword Wandering Soul pierced from behind, and a sword pierced her throat.
Xu Zixing's movements were abrupt, and he staggered back a few steps, almost being injured by the lingering sword intent.
The wandering soul dissipated in Xu Zixing's astonished expression, revealing the sword-wielding man behind him.
It was Ji Chaoyun.
Xu Zixing's expression changed greatly, and he calmly said, "What are you doing?"
Ji Chaoyun said in a low voice: "You rob me of so many monsters, I will rob you of one, isn't it too much?"
Xu Zixing looked away: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"That's right, you don't dare to admit it." Ji Chaoyun retracted his sword and raised a sarcastic arc on his lips, "But do you think you really didn't leave any evidence?"
As early as half an hour before he encountered a demon, Ji Chaoyun noticed something was wrong. However, the road in the dense forest is winding and rugged, the enemy is in the dark, and the enemy is in the light.
But that doesn't mean he didn't do anything.
"...What evidence did I leave behind?"
Ji Chaoyun: "I couldn't kill the monsters during the three hours you've been staring at. I can only do other things, such as... Observe the light mirrors that record the situation in the secret realm. Where are they?"
Xu Zixing's face turned pale.
"I purposely lead the people you sent to follow me, so that all their actions can be recorded. Even if the disciples who are inspecting and watching the battle outside the secret at the moment do not find any clues, they only need to turn it over and check the truth afterwards. It's natural." Ji Chaoyun said slowly, "Xu Zixing, you should know the consequences of cheating in the assessment, right?"
If you drive out of Hongmeng Academy, you will never be allowed to take another half step.
Xu Zixing finally couldn't restrain the fear on his face, he took a step forward in a hurry: "No, I can't be kicked out of the academy, Ji Chaoyun, you—"
Before he could finish speaking, there was an unusual soft sound under his feet.
The expressions of the two of them changed at the same time.
In the next second, the ground beneath Xu Zixing's feet sank without warning. He stepped in the air, and before he could make any sound, he stumbled and fell.
"..." Ji Chaoyun looked at the cave in front of him silently, feeling the unusual evil spirit in the cave coming towards him, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
This should be what Feng Qi said, the mysterious area where the beast is located.
There are five beasts in the secret realm, and each beheading one gets ten points. Ferocious beasts are extremely powerful, and it takes four to five people to kill them. Therefore, once a disciple discovers the location of the beast, it usually sends a signal to notify others.
But…
Ji Chaoyun opened the scoring list, and counting the score he had just grabbed from Xu Zixing, his current score was 12, ranking 30th.
It's too far.
A faint light flashed in Ji Chaoyun's eyes, and he made a decision in just an instant.
He put away the scoreboard and jumped into the cave.
The ground returned to its original state after he entered, and there was no trace of its existence.
It was extremely dark in the cave, and Ji Chaoyun quietly landed on the ground. In front of him was a long and narrow corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a stone cave. Xu Zixing stood in front of the stone cave and looked inside carefully.
Ji Chaoyun walked over, raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder: "Hello."
"Shh!" Xu Zixing lowered his voice, "It's a black-spotted python, don't wake it up, you brought a few people in—"
He turned around, but saw only Ji Chaoyun behind him.
Xu Zixing froze for a long time, and said in surprise, "You... you came in alone?"
"Yes." Ji Chaoyun said lightly, "Xu Zixing, let's make a deal."
The cave was dark and damp, and a giant python was entrenched on the flat ground deep in the cave, sleeping lightly.
Ji Chaoyun and Xu Zixing walked forward quietly, the latter whispered: "Ji Chaoyun, think about it again, you can't send a distress signal. How could you and I be able to fight—"
Ji Chaoyun threatened in a low voice, "If you dare to disturb anyone, I will tell you about your cheating and harming me."
"..." Xu Zixing was speechless, before muttering after a while, "What a lunatic..."
Ji Chaoyun's current ranking is too low, he does not dare to rashly signal and give the chance to score to any yellow-character disciple. However, the Xuanzi-level and the Yellow-level results were ranked separately, and his cooperation with Xu Zixing was the best choice.
Ji Chaoyun asked, "Have you remembered what I just told you?"
"Remember." Xu Zixing replied with a headache, "The black python is afraid of fire, first destroy its eyes with fire, and then you will entangle him, I will cut his heart, right?"
Ji Chaoyun: "Just remember, we only have one chance."
"Of course I know, the question is how are you going to entangle—"
Before he finished speaking, Ji Chaoyun raised his hand and threw out two talismans.
The talisman exploded the moment it covered the black python's pupils, the black python's pupils lit up with fire, it screamed loudly, its body kept rolling and entangled in pain, its tail slammed towards the stone wall, and the entire cave trembled wildly.
Ji Chaoyun stepped forward, pulled out the matching sword and stabbed the black python's head with force.
But the black python was covered with hard scales, and Ji Chaoyun's full-strength sword did not hurt it at all, but was thrown out during the fierce struggle of the opponent. Ji Chaoyun's back slammed into the stone wall, and a sharp pain came from behind, causing his eyes to turn white.
Xu Zixing said loudly, "I already said no, just your cultivation—"
His voice stopped abruptly because the black python's struggle suddenly stopped.
Alarmed by the voice, it raised its head and turned towards Xu Zixing's direction. The fire in the black python's eyes has subsided, leaving only two burning holes, which look extraordinarily eerie and terrifying.
One person and one python looked at each other, Xu Zixing seemed to be pinned to the spot by some force, and a layer of cold sweat instantly oozes out on his back.
The black python opened its jaws, let out a roar from its throat, and rushed towards Xu Zixing!
At that moment, Xu Zixing even felt the stench of hot breath in the black python's mouth. But the expected pain did not come, Xu Zixing looked at the giant python that was close at hand and could almost swallow him, and realized something.
He tilted his head to see Ji Chaoyun standing in the depths of the cave, his hands tightly clutching the tail of the black python, his vertical pupils were as clear as glass.
In the next second, his appearance changed.
The silver dragon scales quickly covered Ji Chaoyunnu's skin, and a dragon tail stretched out from under him, twisting the black python's body tightly. Ji Chaoyun's body changed rapidly in the dazzling silver light, elongated, and the clothes fell to the ground.
After the light faded, a slender and mighty silver dragon appeared in the depths of the cave.
The scales on the silver dragon's body are translucent, shining with dazzling silver light. The dragon's body is slender, and the silver dragon's tail is tightly wrapped around the black python's body.
One dragon and one python were tightly entangled, and the black python kept rolling in agony, but it couldn't escape the restraint no matter what.
Xu Zixing stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and even his breathing almost stopped.
This is... Ji Chaoyun
"What are you still doing?" Ji Chaoyun's voice sounded, and Yinlong grabbed the struggling black python's head and lifted it abruptly, revealing the weakness hidden in the depths of the scales, "Attack it seven inches, quickly !"
Xu Zixing suddenly woke up, took out the sword and jumped, the sword edge instantly penetrated the body of the black python.
The black python let out a painful roar, and under the restraint of the silver dragon, it finally stopped moving.
"It... is it dead?" Xu Zixing asked in a trembling voice.
Yinlong maintained his original posture and did not move, Xu Zixing opened the scoring list, and saw that the two had really increased by ten points at the same time: "Look, we succeeded, we—"
"Xu Zixing." Ji Chaoyun's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing something, "You go out first."
"How do you..."
"go out!"
Ji Chaoyun shouted angrily, and with the sound of the dragon's roar, Xu Zixing suddenly stopped when he wanted to step forward. Under the real body of the real dragon, even if the person's cultivation base is not high, the pressure of the real dragon is still terrifyingly strong.
Xu Zixing swallowed unconsciously, hesitantly looked at the silver dragon in the depths of the cave, and after a long time said, "Anyway, thank you for saving my life."
Ji Chaoyun did not answer.
"...I'm sorry for what happened before. Get out of here. Even if you want to tell me, I'll admit it."
After Xu Zixing finished speaking, he turned and left the cave.
The sound of footsteps disappeared in the cave, and Yinlong's tense body finally relaxed. With a flick of his tail, he threw the black python's body into a corner of the cave, and then turned back into a human body.
Ji Chaoyun picked up a piece of clothing and draped it over his body. This action seemed to consume the last of his strength. Ji Chaoyun knelt on the ground and slowly curled up on the cold ground, his face flushed abnormally.
So hot…
The dragon clan will have a boom period on a regular basis. Perhaps this time is too tiring, and Ji Chaoyun did not notice it beforehand. It was not until he entered the secret realm that he found out that his boom period was earlier.
In these few hours, he forcibly suppressed the cultivation base, and if there were no accidents, he should be able to last until the end of the assessment.
But in order to deal with this black python, he had to show his true body.
The abnormality of the body could no longer be restrained under the rapid consumption of spiritual power, Ji Chaoyun's consciousness gradually became chaotic, and was engulfed by the surging tide of love.
In a trance, a golden light flew out from the clothes scattered on the ground and turned into a slender figure in front of him.
Ji Chaoyun's eyes were blurred, and he called out a name in a low voice: "Feng... Feng Xiao."
