After Leng Wuqing and Wo Wuxie came out from the light gate, people immediately started whispering to each other, and the quiet desert instantly became noisy, as if a stone was suddenly thrown into a quiet lake. As for the Multiple Mountain Academy's elders, each of them now had a pure black face, because they were sure that Rein was dead.

"Who the hell killed Rein? Hidden Dragon Ranked Warriors?"

"Whoever it is, we will slaughter that person once we find out the truth!" Those elders didn't slow their voices down when they said these words, and all the other people clearly heard them.

"I have never thought that Rein, the Hidden Dragon Ranked 98 Warrior could be killed in there, that's an Early Triple-Supercell Titan Warrior! And he was so talented, he could even defeat medium Tri-Supercell realm Warriors!"

"To be honest, I would like to know the name of the person who has killed him."

"I assume it's one of those Hidden Dragon Ranked Warriors. Only they are capable of that anyway. The three ranked before 60 are the most suspicious."

"Do you mean Wo Wuxie, Xue Hen and Baster?"

"Exactly, apart from them, who else could kill Rein? Even if the other Hidden Dragon Ranked Warriors were slightly powerful than Rein, none of them could ever manage to kill him."

The War-God Academy's group of people chattered among each other.

Xietien let out a long breath and said, "Wo Wuxie is out, so did Leng Wuqing. Now only Erian, Magnus and Baster are still in the palace. Why are they still not coming out? Is breaking into the Tri-Supercell realm especially hard?"

Laura and Kiera were wondering about the same thing.

The Head Elder suddenly popped up his eyes, as if he thought of something important, and said, "Maybe they have all passed the trial and began fighting for the three treasures offered by the Heaven Dream Battle Palace."

"It's been a hundred years since the last time someone passed the trial!" Laura said with surprise in her voice.

"Indeed, no one has managed to pass the final round of the trial during the last hundred years, but your generation was the best for a century. Therefore, passing the trial is no longer impossible, otherwise, they should have come out long ago." said the Fourth Elder.

Xietien nodded and asked, "Since passing the trial is that difficult, the three treasures should be very valuable, am I right?"

The Head Elder responded, "Of course. The most powerful and precious martial art possessed by our War-God Academy is called the [Great Rudra Magical Art], that was gained by the third generation of the school leader, from nowhere else but this Heaven Dream Ancient Region. Except for the leader and his inheritors, no was is qualified for that great art at all."

"The [Great Rudra Magical Art] was truly gained from this Heaven Dream Ancient Region?!" This was the first time for Xietien to heard about this. As for the power of the [Great Rudra Magical Art], he had already seen it with his own eyes. Activated by Genetic energy, a move of that art could evaporate an entire river, without leaving even a drop of water.

From time to time, those Crimson Sun Academy's elders would glance at the War-God Academy's people. Seeing the serious yet surprised look of the War-God Academy's Head Elder, those Crimson Sun Academy's elders couldn't help but make guesses about the contents of their conversations.

"That sword kid of the War-God Academy hasn't come out yet, did he already die inside?"

"I'm afraid this won't be that simple. I have never heard that this Heaven Dream Battle Palace can actually kill a person. All failed Students will either be automatically sent out or stay inside, he should be still inside by now. I am just worried that all of them might have passed the trial."

"Once the final round of the trial was passed by one or multiple Students, the palace would offer three treasures, which are unimaginably valuable and precious. If that War-God Academy's sword kid got one of the three treasures, he might do some evil things to our Crimson Sun Academy with it! After all, all the treasures which have been offered by the palace are incredibly powerful. They are even more valuable and powerful than ordinary equal-level treasures which could be found outside. It would be fine if he only gets a treasured weapon or tool, but if it's a mid-ranked Earth Realm martial book, that would definitely become another secret and supportive martial art possessed by the War-God Academy, and they would be even more powerful than other mid-ranked Earth Realm martial arts."

The face of the Crimson Sun Academy's Head Elder turned darker and darker while he continued, "That sword kid had brought us so many troubles before he even grows mature. If we let him live, a great disaster will strike on our Crimson Sun Academy sooner or later. I think we should call a meeting with all the Assassin Group's leaders to make sure that we can take that kid out with a single attack."

"You're right, Zhu Lieyang is not powerful enough for this anymore. I'm afraid that he couldn't even fight evenly against that kid at this stage."

...

Back inside the palace.

Magnus was shocked. He didn't think that Erian could launch such a powerful attack even without a sword.

"How was that even possible?! Is his sword intent truly so powerful?"

Seeing the red tornado roaring towards him along with the streams of spear light, Magnus wanted to kill Erian even more than before. He had sensed a severe threat from Erian, which made him feel really angry.

"Break!"

Huge streams of Genetic energy rose in the air, meanwhile, a mountain-like silhouette shrouded Magnus entirely. He stayed perfectly still while letting out streams of river-like, flowing palm powers, which were thick and condensed. Affected by Magnus's palm power streams, all those fierce airwaves that were moving towards him were instantly shattered.

"What is this skill? Mountain? Water? Can it be [Mountain and Water Great Art]?" Erian once heard from the Head Elder that the first leader of the Crimson Sun Academy had found an incomplete book, which recorded the legendary martial art, [Mountain and Water Great Art], from the remaining site of the Mountain and Water Pavilion. Although it was only an incomplete record, it was still a mid-ranked Earth Realm martial art, and was definitely terrifyingly powerful; its power was even greater than the War-God Academy's [Great Rudra Magical Art].

The red tornado was shattered, after which, streams of palm power kept moving straight towards Erian.

Erian laughed out, as though he didn't seem to care at all.

"[Shocking Clouds]!"

"[Limitless Fierce Cloud]!"

"[The Sword of Fleetness]"

"[Dimly discernible Sword]!"

Using the spear as a sword, Erian didn't take a single step back, instead, he launched a counterattack without any hesitation. He swiftly flicked the spear and launched multiple moves of the [Shocking Cloud Art]; activated by the sword intent, each spear light he released was dazzling, not only did they destroy Magnus's palm power streams, but they also directly struck on the gigantic mountain silhouette which had firmly wrapped Magnus's body.
