Chapter 17 The Ferocity of the Evil Shadow
At this moment, the examiners outside the room all had solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the screen, and beads of sweat even appeared on their foreheads, for fear that something unexpected might happen.
Mo Xuan was no exception; he nervously scanned the leaderboard, trying to find Song Wanning's name, but he couldn't find her score record. A sense of foreboding washed over him.
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Mo, we've searched the entire list, but we can't find Miss Song's ranking!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan's expression grew even more gloomy, and he quickly replied, "Look carefully again, maybe her name is still on there."
However, the reality was cruel; no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't find Song Wanning's points. Meanwhile, Mo Xuan had secretly sent people to scout the surrounding area, fearing that members of the Evil Fiend Cult might be lurking nearby, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Meanwhile, on the leaderboard, the points of the top players continued to grow, with the number one player already surpassing 500. Mo Xuan looked up and discovered that Ye Xingchen was at the top of the leaderboard, his martial soul marked as the S-rank martial soul Shadow Wind.
Seeing this, someone nearby quickly introduced him to Mo Xuan: "Elder Mo, this Ye Xingchen is the young master of the Ye family. His current cultivation level has reached the seventh level of the Divine Master Realm."
Mo Xuan nodded slightly in agreement and exclaimed, "It seems the Ye family has really gone all out this time, pouring all their resources into Ye Xingchen."
Just then, the previously calm rankings suddenly underwent a startling change—Song Wanning's name suddenly appeared at number one, replacing Ye Xingchen.
This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise, and Mo Xuan stared wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief.
"One...one thousand points!" The group was all taken aback.
"If that's the case, then Miss Song has already killed a peak-level ordinary magical beast?"
Mo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Wanning's name.
It seemed that Song Wanning was not in any danger for the time being. Mo Xuan continued to stare intently at the big screen, where Song Wanning's points were increasing rapidly at an astonishing rate.
Meanwhile, another focus of their attention—Ye Chuxue's points—was also steadily rising, and she soon reached eighth place.
Some people couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that Miss Song can not only easily kill monsters herself, but also help Ye Chuxue successfully kill monsters."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this very moment, within the assessment space, the young man was leading his subordinates in a search for Song Wanning's whereabouts. Just then, a communication voice suddenly came through his ear: "Protector Leng, the formation has been set up and can be activated at any time."
Upon hearing this news, the young man's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Hehe, this is going to be interesting!"
……
Suddenly, the once bright sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain, instantly becoming extremely dark, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, making people feel a chill.
Night seemed to have fallen early, and in this darkness, a pitch-black, sinister shadow sped toward them at an astonishing speed.
This malevolent figure moved swiftly and silently, arriving before the Trial Tower in the blink of an eye. It exuded a chilling aura of evil, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
Mo Xuan and the others were taken aback by what they saw. They immediately became alert and prepared to deal with any potential crisis.
Mo Xuan swiftly raised his hand, and a staff shimmering with golden light appeared in his grasp. This was none other than his Martial Soul—the S-Rank Brilliant Holy Staff.
Without hesitation, Mo Xuan swung the S-rank Brilliant Holy Staff in his hand, and a dazzling light shot out from the tip of the staff, carrying powerful force, heading straight for the Evil Shadow.
However, Xie Ying displayed astonishing speed and agility, easily dodging Mo Xuan's attacks and continuing his charge towards the Trial Tower.
Just then, a deafening roar rang out: "You audacious madman! How dare you trespass on this land!"
With this roar, a gigantic, illusory hand rapidly materialized in the air, as heavy as a mountain, carrying unparalleled power, attempting to block the dark, malevolent shadow.
However, the Shadow Demon remained unfazed by the illusory giant hand's obstruction. It let out a chilling laugh, and then its body erupted with black light, transforming into a gigantic Shadow Demon head.
The malevolent head opened its gaping maw, spewing out a thick cloud of black mist that collided with the illusory hand. The two clashed fiercely, triggering a cataclysmic energy collision.
Just then, a colossal Buddha statue suddenly appeared in the sky. This Buddha statue was solemn and majestic, as if it contained boundless Buddhist power.
The Buddha statue slowly opened its eyes, radiating a dazzling light, as intense and captivating as the sun. Then, it exhaled a brilliant golden light from its mouth, like a powerful laser beam, shooting directly towards the dark, malevolent shadow.
Upon seeing this, the Shadow Demon reacted swiftly. It split in two, one of its forms meeting the golden light head-on.
Instantly, a violent energy collision occurred between the two, radiating light and illuminating the entire space. Meanwhile, another malevolent figure rushed towards the Trial Tower at an astonishing speed.
"You're courting death!" A furious roar echoed through the heavens. A gigantic, illusory hand materialized once more in the air, as massive as a mountain, its power astonishing. The giant hand gripped the shadowy figure's head tightly, kneading it forcefully.
"Hehehe, the formation is complete, and there's nothing you can do to stop me now. Besides, this is just one of my clones." The evil shadow chuckled, his tone full of mockery and smugness.
Hearing that familiar voice, Mo Xuan was startled. He immediately recognized it as Xue Shaming's voice.
"However, those examinees in your Trial Tower are not so lucky..." Xue Shaming's voice carried a hint of malice and cruelty.
With a deafening bang, the shadowy figure's head exploded as the giant hand crushed it. Yet, the chilling laughter still echoed in the air. This bizarre scene sent chills down everyone's spines and instilled fear.
