whoosh——!

The black shadow swept across the sky and flew towards the sunset at an astonishing speed.

Lin Hao and Xiaobai each sat on the eagle's back, feeling the strong wind blowing towards them.

One man and one beast, their destination is Wuling City.

It is located in the extreme west of the Cangkong Continent, in a remote area.

It is rumored that this place was the battlefield of a racial war ten thousand years ago.

Countless ancient corpses are buried underground.

As for why later on, only a few races such as humans, madmen and dwarves remained on the Sky Continent, it is completely unknown.

From ancient times to the present, there has been no historical record, and no one knows what caused the racial war ten thousand years ago.

The whole incident is almost clueless!

Therefore, Wuling City was built only to commemorate the human heroes who died in the battle that year.

All previous Hundred Colleges Competitions were held here.

However, each competition event is different, and the rules are extremely cruel, so casualties are inevitable!

In this way, we flew for nearly five days before we finally entered the area of ​​the far west.

On the vast plain, the shadow of a city that looked like a huge monster gradually appeared in Lin Hao's sight.

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the majestic city, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Because its architectural layout is quite unique and from a distance it looks like a huge mausoleum.

Under the cover of night, it gives people a creepy feeling.

This is Wuling City!

In mid-air, Lin Hao finally took off his assassin's clothes and returned to his previous form.

After hiding for more than half a year, he now showed his true face to the public. He inexplicably felt a sense of discomfort in his heart.

When there was still some distance to Wuling City, Lin Hao jumped from the eagle's back to the ground.

Xiaobai also transformed back into the shape of a little white ape, put on a set of children's clothes, and wore a hat on his head.

Although this place is still quite a distance away from Wuling City, the official roads that extend in all directions are crowded with people, and it looks extremely lively.

Most of these people are members of the academy who came from all over the place. Each of them has a powerful aura and are all martial artists with considerable strength.

"I wonder if anyone from Tianyan Academy has arrived yet?"

Lin Hao followed the crowd in the queue to enter the city, muttering to himself.

Then, passing through a slightly dark city gate tunnel, Lin Hao glanced around briefly.

Magnificent and spectacular!

Looking at the many ancient city buildings in front of me, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This was Lin Hao’s first impression when he entered the city.

According to the intelligence we have obtained, the ruler of Wuling City is not an empire or a dynasty.

It is a military mansion, Wulingyuan Mansion.

Its status is that of the leader among all institutions of higher learning.

In all the previous Hundred Academies Competitions, the championship titles were almost always won by Wuling Academy.

Standing on the bustling street with constant flow of people, Lin Hao did not remain in wonder for long. He headed to the north of the city according to the original plan.

Last time, after being introduced by Master Chen of Wanlong Pavilion, he knew that the lightning spirit casting master named "Zhao" was not working for the Chamber of Commerce.

Instead, he created his own school and had many apprentices under him, which was quite large.

A moment later, Lin Hao arrived at the North District. After turning a street, he saw a giant building that looked like a tower.

Faintly, one can see circles of rune light lingering outside the tower, attracting a lot of attention.

There is a plaque hanging on the top of the tower gate, with three large characters "Lingbao Pavilion" shining brightly.

“This is it.”

Lin Hao raised his eyes, took a look, and walked in through the door with Xiaobai.

However, I saw that the layout inside was divided into two halls, front and back.

In the front hall, various weapons are displayed for sale.

The inner hall is an exclusive area for refining equipment.

Although the sound insulation is very good, you can still faintly hear the clanging sound of metal.

It can be seen that Lingbao Pavilion's weapon refining business is quite good.

Lin Hao didn't even take a look at the weapons in the outer hall and walked straight into the inner hall.

As he stepped in, Lin Hao suddenly felt a heat wave coming towards him and flames filled the air.

Looking around, he saw that there were more than a dozen weapon refiners inside.

At this moment, they are all shirtless, with strong bodies, and are exercising with various equipments.

"Sir, what kind of weapon do you need to refine?"

Soon, a young man dressed as an apprentice came up to greet them enthusiastically.

"A spear. Please ask Master Zhao to come out and help me forge it."

Lin Hao said calmly.

"No need, it's just a spear, I'll arrange it for you."

Hearing this, the apprentice smiled nonchalantly.

In their Lingbao Pavilion, although the most skilled weapon refiner is Master Zhao, everyone else learns the skills from their master.

There's no need for the master to personally forge a mere spear.

Moreover, in recent years, the master has been in a semi-retired state. If it is not a rare material that he likes, no one will hire him.

"I'm sorry, only Master Zhao can forge this material."

Lin Hao shook his head with a firm tone.

Hearing this, the apprentice frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at Lin Hao a few more times.

This guy is so young, yet he has such an arrogant tone!

"Okay, I want to see what materials you want to use and whether you can hire our master."

The apprentice's face darkened slightly. He stared at Lin Hao in front of him and spoke in a rather unhappy tone.

The weapon refiners present also stopped their work at this time.

Immediately afterwards, a series of fierce gazes were cast towards Lin Hao.

Obviously, Lin Hao's behavior was undoubtedly misunderstood as looking down on their skills.

Lin Hao had a calm expression and didn't say much nonsense.

Immediately, he flipped his palm lightly, and the purple lightning bamboo suddenly appeared in his hand.

Hiss, hiss——!

Instantly, a slight rumble of thunder was heard, and an extremely powerful force of thunder also spread out along with the sound.

The apprentice next to him and the weapon refiners all looked tense.

Faced with this sudden thunder energy, they all drew their spiritual energy and condensed a layer of protective shield on their bodies.

"Such a strong thunder force, this...what is this thing?"

"It looks like bamboo and contains lightning. Could it be Purple Lightning Bamboo?"

Everyone stared at the Purple Lightning Bamboo in Lin Hao's hand in amazement. Some of the more experienced weapon refiners quickly recognized it.

"What? This is the Purple Lightning Bamboo that is as hard as Mysterious Spiritual Iron?!!"

All of a sudden, everyone gathered around with a look of surprise on their faces, with burning light flashing in their eyes.

As weapon refiners, in addition to their love of forging weapons, they also have another interest, which is collecting all kinds of rare natural treasures.

"Xiao Ba, why don't you go and ask the master to come out? He must be quite interested in this purple lightning bamboo."

"Yes, I haven't seen him take action for a long time."

All of a sudden, those weapon refiners started talking at once, constantly urging the young apprentice.

"good……"

The apprentice finally came back to his senses from his shock.

Just as he was about to turn around, a beam of light suddenly rushed over and appeared in front of everyone at lightning speed.

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that the person who appeared was an old man with wrinkles all over his face.

Although his face looked old, the clothes on his body were stretched extremely tight by his strong muscles.

Moreover, from his movements just now, it was obvious that the old man had used his spiritual energy, and there was still a faint fluctuation of thunder energy remaining.

There is no doubt that this person is the thunder spirit caster that Lin Hao is looking for this time.

The head of Lingbao Pavilion, Zhao Kun.
