"Elder Hong Liang, if nothing unexpected happens, your son Hong Li will be the final victor of the Void Tower's experience."

The Red Scripture Elder stroked his beard as he slowly spoke.

"Why do you say that?"

Hong Liang pretended to be confused. In fact, he was already overjoyed.

"Elder Hong Liang, when you went to the observation platform, your son was assisted by an expert …!"

The Elder explained to Hong Liang.

Elder Hong Liang threatened that the inner circle of the forbidden area would be filled with danger and no one would be guarding it from the outside. He went out for a while to observe the danger at the observation deck.

His words didn't make anyone doubt him.

After all, the figure who had helped Hong Li was vastly different in height and physique from Hong Liang.

Even if Hong Liang admitted that the person who helped Hong Li was him, no one would believe him.

"Elder Hong Liang, what was the result of your visit to the observation stage?"

The Scarlet Meridian Elder asked him.

"It's nothing serious, it's safe!"

When Hong Liang had activated the mechanism of the Void Tower, he had predicted that the beast tide would rush towards them in the time it took for half an incense stick to burn.

It was still early, so in order to not cause panic in the crowd, he did not speak the truth.

In any case, he had already calculated that they would definitely be able to escape unscathed when the horde of beasts rushed over. When that happened, it wouldn't be a big loss for the academy.

However, what Hong Liang did not know was that he had already angered the Ancient Giant Beasts' Silver Armored Spirit Snakes. This time around, the attacks from the monster horde were even more ferocious and brutal than the past.

Ignorant as they were, they were about to face a disaster.

At this moment, not far from the Void Tower, there was a cloud of dust flying about. Even the ground was trembling slightly.

"The students in the Void Tower are currently training. I wonder if they have retreated to the city walls?"

Guan Qi's face turned serious. The beasts were getting closer and closer to the defensive barrier. He wondered how long the energy barrier could keep the students busy.

Under the cover of this grand display, the inside of the Void Tower became tranquil.

"My son must have obtained the Blazing Flame Lotus Essence at this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure entered his eyes.

Surprise appeared in Hong Liang's eyes, this person was his son, Hong Li.

"Li'er, did you get the Blazing Lotus Essence?"

Hong Liang asked impatiently.

All the gazes of the high school students were fixated on him.

"I …"

A hint of bitterness appeared in Hong Li's eyes, "The Blazing Flame Lotus Essence has disappeared!"

What?

Hearing Hong Li's words, the entire venue became extremely quiet.

"Hong Li, why did the Flame Lotus Essence disappear? What do you mean by that?"

The Red Scripture Elder was also puzzled.

According to their speculations, Hong Li was the first and only person to obtain the Flame Lotus Essence during this experiential learning. But why would he say something so strange?

"I was the first to reach the third floor of the Void Tower, but there was nothing on the stage. It was impossible for the Flame Lotus Essence to be taken away by someone, so it could only disappear."

He had been preparing for this day for a long time. At the moment that he thought he would succeed, he didn't even manage to obtain the Flame Lotus Essence. How ironic!

"Impossible, the Flame Lotus Essence cannot be stolen."

His bright eyes were immediately filled with rage. He could clearly feel the energy of the Blazing Flame Lotus Essence when he left.

Why did the Blazing Flame Lotus disappear in just a few minutes?

Someone must have taken the Flame Lotus Essence away in advance.

"Who stole the Flame Lotus Essence?"

Hong Liang's eyes were incomparably gloomy, sweeping over everyone present.

"It's me!"

A youth's voice sounded from outside the crowd.

The youth was dressed in white and had a very elegant demeanor.

Chu Xingyu returned to the bottom of the Void Tower.

When the crowd saw him, they couldn't help but recall his incomparably stunning performance in the Void Tower. A hint of respect flashed in their eyes and they couldn't help but open up a path.

"Chu Xingyu, you stole the Flame Lotus Essence?"

With a devouring gaze, Hong Liang's right hand grabbed at him.

"Cut the bullshit!"

Avoiding Hong Liang's palm, he said in a low voice, "The Void Tower's tempering, the Flame Lotus Essence first comes first and obtains first. You said that I stole it, but have I already given the Flame Lotus Essence to your son Hong Li?"

Chu Xingyu's eyes turned cold as she stared at Hong Liang.

Towards Hong Liang, Chu Xingyu already had a murderous heart, but she was in a weaker position. If she were to openly confront him, she would definitely be suppressed.

Hong Liang, sooner or later, I will personally kill him.

"You …!"

Hong Liang's expression shook. His expression constantly changed, but he could only unwillingly withdraw his hand.

He had lost his composure just now. Chu Xingyu had forced him to say that he had helped Hong Li.

Hong Liang absolutely could not let others know that he was the one who had helped Hong Li.

"Since you've obtained the Blazing Lotus Essence, let me announce this again. The first ranked participant of the Void Tower's trial, Chu Xingyu."

Hong Liang said with an unwilling expression.

Boom! *

Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise came from the outside and even the Void Tower shook slightly.

"What's going on?"

The face of the Scarlet Meridian Elder changed as he strode out.

The void pagoda was as stable as a rock. What caused it to tremble?

"This... "What's going on?"

"Is this a defensive barrier? Why did it appear now? "

"What happened in the forbidden area?"

When everyone came out, their expressions changed greatly.

In the sky, the energy that was like a glass barrier had already enveloped them.

However, the surface of the glass dome was full of cracks, and these cracks were beginning to crack at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Boom! *

Another loud sound rang out.

The entire defensive energy shield instantly shattered.

"Oh my god!" It's the beast tide, the beast tide is coming! "

The moment the energy shield exploded, the scene before them caused everyone's pupils to constrict.

The black masses of demonic beasts that were like a tsunami were rapidly gathering towards the Void Tower.

In addition, most of these magical beasts were unknown to him, which meant that these magical beasts were very powerful.

"How can he be so fast!"

Hong Liang's complexion changed. The beast tide had actually arrived earlier than he had expected.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The ground trembled, causing these students to be unable to stand steadily.

​

The howls of the magical beasts almost tore their ears apart.

"Elder Hong Liang, didn't you say that you were fine?"

Hong Liang's expression changed greatly as he became furious. Hong Liang's irresponsible behavior had caused all of them to suffer.

"Shut up. Come with me to the Hidden Martial Palace."

Hong Liang looked at the Scarlet Scripture with a murderous look in his eyes.

Now that the magical beasts had surrounded him, it was impossible for him to escape.

Presently, only those who were seven miles away and had strong defenses and weren't heavily damaged would be able to enter the Martial Repository Palace, waiting for the academy's rescue.
