Chapter 793: Chapter 685: The Glorious Yan (Large Chapter)_2

Other aspects, Tang Yu had no intention of comparing himself to the assassin.

The moment the assassin was forced out of the space, Grey Blade’s entire body merged into the shadow, and like a shadow, emerged from behind the pitch-black assassin.

The two divine weapon daggers crossed each other.

Clang—

Grey Blade retaliated with another slash.

The pitch-black assassin frowned and was forced to fight Grey Blade in close quarters.

Dark figures and blurred shadows twisted continuously in the air.

Finally,

with a squelch, Grey Blade took injury for injury. The moment the Third Tier divine weapon dagger tore through the opponent’s skin, a hidden power within the dagger suddenly burst forth, shattering the pitch-black figure’s chest cavity.

This scene, witnessed by Tang Yu and others, seemed like a somewhat difficult fight. But to the onlookers, it was just a brief instant.

The assassin revealed itself.

For a moment, the assassin stiffened in midair.

The assassin was intercepted by an elder from the Tao Sect.

The assassin fell.

Even those in the Unity Realm nearby could only see countless flickering blades and could neither see the details of the fight nor how the pitch-black figure fell.

All they knew was

that the elder on the right pointed a finger, and several alien Unity Realm figures that had suddenly emerged from the crowd were instantly frozen.

And the elder on the left, in an instant, had slain that fearsome assassin.

The Sect Master of the Tao Sect merely stood quietly by, his gaze unchanging, demonstrating that he barely considered the assassination an issue!

Truly befitting the Human Race’s supreme sect!

With such powerful individuals within the Sect, it was only a matter of time before the Tao Sect became a top force renowned across the Mountain and Sea World!

Tang Yu remained expressionless, yet inside, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Tao City wasn’t enveloped within the Territory, but around Kowloon Mountain it was, where several huge red light points were starkly visible to him.

Originally, he had thought about how to both display the Tao Sect’s strength and make it look effortless since most people had not witnessed Eileen capturing the Dragon Fish.

The attacker’s appearance was like a pillow for a sleepy person, proactively helping him to demonstrate the sect’s strength.

It was an international friend, no, a friend from another world!

Such a self-sacrificing spirit deeply moved the Great Lord Tang.

Grey Blade flew over with the pitch-black assassin’s corpse, “Lord, this is only an avatar.”

Tang Yu had anticipated this.

Only an avatar would be so fragile; a Divine Domain Realm entity with the Blood Rebirth ability, under the influence of the Power of Laws, would require several slashes to kill, not just one.

The corpse was like a person dressed in tight nightwear, completely black, black to the extreme.

Tang Yu took this assassin seriously.

The assassin had just displayed a hint of Space Law ability; however, it was not the invincible strongman he had imagined. An invincible strongman, even if just an avatar, would still have overwhelmed Grey Blade.

Hmm… Or perhaps, this was just a ‘limited combat power’ avatar?

Tang Yu didn’t ponder further, simply instructing Grey Blade to store the avatar first, then he looked towards the people below, “Minor characters unworthy of concern. Now, let the Sect disciple examination continue.”

After speaking, he disappeared in a flash, along with Eileen, Grey Blade, and others.

Assessing new disciples was naturally not something for him, the Sect Master, or other elders to handle.

Now, the Tao Sect had already garnered some fame, especially following the spectacle of the Blood Blade assassin just before the disciple assessment. People from the Human Race and Alien Race below were roaring to join the Tao Sect, making it unnecessary for them to intervene.

These Sect Masters and elders were, after all, powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the world; they were not to be easily accessed and needed to maintain their dignity. He had already established the hierarchy within the sect.

Overall, it was divided into two major systems: Inner Sect and Outer Sect.

The Inner Sect was the core of the Tao Sect, organized from the top with the Sect Master, Sect Elders, Sect Protectors, True Disciples, Core Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples.

And in the Outer Sect, they are mainly responsible for the external affairs of the Tao Sect, including parts of the management of Tao City.

There are Outer Sect elders, Outer Sect officials, and Outer Sect staff.

The hierarchy is clear, and the Mountain and Sea World never emphasizes equality; the strong naturally have the privileges of the strong.

It is the Outer Sect that is responsible for the entrance assessment.

At present, both officials and staff have not yet recruited externally; with limited manpower, they pulled people from the Guardian Team to help.

Those participating in the entrance assessment this time numbered in the tens of thousands, with the Human Race accounting for the majority.

With so many people, it was natural not to adopt the method of the initial Immortal Gate assessment—a semi-final competition for ten thousand people had lasted a full day—it was intended as a form of publicity.

“Our Tao Sect’s assessments mainly consist of several aspects: cultivation, age, aptitude, comprehension, and temperament… I, as the Outer Sect elder, am responsible for the arrangements of this assessment…”

At the base of the mountain, there was a high platform made of jade stone.

On the platform stood several figures, the foremost of whom, Green Shadow, was familiar to many adventurers as a renowned strongman of the Green Shadow official, Yan Dingtian, whose best performance in the ‘Trial Tower’ had reached the ninety-first floor—although, nowadays, the summit of the ‘Trial Tower’ had expanded from a hundred to a hundred and fifty floors.

Old Yan saw the crowd ahead quiet down and earnestly listen to his explanation of the specific rules, including a dozen Unity Realm strongmen, and he was secretly elated.

Although in Green Shadow he was indeed a known strongman, when had he ever enjoyed such a moment in the limelight?

A mysterious strongman casually emerging from Lord Tang’s subordinates could very likely surpass him in strength.

Like last week, when he had barely managed to clear the ninetieth floor of the ‘Trial Tower,’ a checkpoint that had hindered him for half a year, elevating his ranking by three places. Just as he was embracing the cheers of others in the training camp, an unknown woman began her challenge in the ‘Trial Tower.’ The records showed it was her first attempt, yet she directly broke through the hundredth floor, causing a full-screen announcement throughout the entire ‘Spirit Space.’

Old Yan was dumbfounded.

He always felt like the whole world was against him!

Couldn’t he enjoy even half an hour, no, even five minutes of cheers?

Regarding the strong emerging from time to time under Lord Tang, Yan Dingtian had come to terms with it.

A period of arduous cultivation, along with various cultivation resources and venues exchanged through his contributions, had allowed Old Yan to achieve a breakthrough to the Transcendent within three years of reaching transcendence, becoming a Second Tier Expert!

On par with the Imperial Lord of the Ancient Spirit Dynasty, even in Green Shadow, he was also… never mind, let’s not say.

In the Mountain and Sea World, Old Yan knew he was not one of the top powerhouses, but with his status as an Outer Sect elder of the Tao Sect, he once again enjoyed the spotlight.

Even those whose realm was similar to his, at the Unity Realm, had to remain quiet.

“To my left are a hundred testing steles; just place your palm on a stele, and it can assess your cultivation and age.”

“To my right is a Trial Formation that can accommodate ten thousand people at once, primarily testing temperament and comprehension.”

After Yan Dingtian finished speaking, other Outer Sect officials and the Guardian Army’s Awakeners, along with some who were temporary workers like Wang Hu—those who had registered for the staff competition—began arranging the order of assessment.

Tens of thousands of people based on the order of registration earnestly began their assessments.

The testing steles were efficient and convenient; just pressing a palm on a stele could reveal cultivation and age based on the light and patterns emitted, with designated personnel recording each result next to every stele.

“Xiao Dong, eighteen years old, Awakening Tier Third Layer, low-tier.”

“Tang Richen, fifteen years old, Awakening Tier Ninth Layer, middle-tier.”

“Dewen Haoyu, twenty-two years old, Awakening Tier Eleventh Layer, high-tier.”

“Yang Yue, twenty years old, cultivation, none.”

“Hong Bin, twenty-five years old, Awakening Tier Perfection, Quasi-Super Tier!”

Each time a genius under thirty with Great Perfection cultivation appeared, it would always provoke bursts of exclamations; the elders and townsfolk of these geniuses were exceedingly proud.

“After entering the Inner Sect, strive hard to become a core disciple of the Tao Sect, a true disciple earlier. Our Red Water Tribe has only this top-tier genius.”

“We came from the distant Chaotic Land; life has stabilized here, but that’s not enough. The three of you are top-grade geniuses; once you enter the Tao Sect, work sincerely together, establish a firm footing within the Sect to acquire more resources, and let our lineage from the Chaotic Land become a major force in the Tao Sect.”

“Top-tier geniuses with Great Perfection before age thirty, remember these, they will all be your future competitors… Tsk, another one with no cultivation? When registering disciples for assessment, why doesn’t the Tao Sect filter out these useless ones?”

At the assessment site, people from the same regions often gathered together.

Like the humans from Cliff Heart Empire, many from Roddy’s army had signed up for the entrance assessment, mostly knowing each other and naturally clustering together.

There were also many from Human Race tribes, forming various small groups.

Similar advice intermittently came from the lips of elders in the Stepping Void Realm and Unity Realm.
