"This boy is quite cruel!"

Seeing how ruthless Lin Hao was, everyone couldn't help but secretly smack their lips in amazement.

After looking at Lin Hao in amazement for a while, they shifted their gaze and looked back at the tower gate in front of them, as if nothing had happened.

In this cruel competition environment, death is nothing surprising to them.

After the test by the burly man just now, they already knew that this metal tower door was obviously equipped with defensive runes.

From this we can see that there must be some kind of treasure in the tower, otherwise they would not go to so much trouble.

Thinking of this, the reactions of the people present undoubtedly became more fanatical, with greed flashing in their eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"Everyone, I'm sure you've all seen that it's not easy to break through the tower gate by yourself."

A clear voice rang out among the crowd.

But three young men dressed in Wuling Academy clothes came out.

The man in the lead had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and had a dignified temperament. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family.

Seeing that it was someone from Wuling Academy, most of the contestants looked fearful.

"So I suggest that we put the Hundred Colleges Competition on hold for now."

The sword-browed man smiled and said calmly, "Instead of fighting to the death, why don't we work together to break through the tower door and then divide the treasure inside."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded secretly, and felt that this made sense.

This treasure left over from ancient times obviously has a deadly appeal to this group of students from the academy.

If one could divide up the resources, it would be easy to make a breakthrough in martial arts.

They participated in the Hundred Colleges Competition in order to gain more resources.

At this moment, the treasure is at your fingertips, so there is no need to throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

"You're right. If we all work together, we can definitely break through this tower gate!"

"good!"

Suddenly, almost everyone agreed and echoed.

Little did they know that these three people from Wuling Academy had actually already collected ten talisman seals.

The so-called great principles are nothing more than utilizing the power of others.

"Whoever owns the treasure will decide their own fate. Please do your part!"

After the sword-browed man finished speaking, he exchanged glances with his two accomplices.

Immediately, all three of them burst out with powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, condensing into a powerful martial arts offensive.

More than a hundred figures in the surroundings also exerted their unreserved spiritual power, which finally turned into fierce attacks and bombarded the tower gate in front.

“Bang, bang, bang…!!!”

For a moment, the sound of intensive attacks was deafening.

In order to avoid attracting trouble, Lin Hao did not remain indifferent.

An ordinary iron sword flashed in his hand, and the sword energy suddenly shot towards the tower gate.

Faced with such an intensive attack, the runes that appeared on the metal tower door suddenly trembled violently and flashed with light.

After about ten breaths, the rune light flashing on the tower gate gradually dimmed.

Moreover, cracks began to appear on the tower gate.

"Bang!"

When the cracks spread to the extreme, accompanied by a heavy sound, countless pieces of metal fragments splashed everywhere.

The thick metal tower door finally broke open!

“It’s broken!”

Everyone's eyes flickered as they stared at the dimly lit entrance to the ancient tower. Suddenly, a burning glow filled their eyes.

"Walk!"

The sword-browed man and others from Wuling Academy moved and rushed into the giant tower first.

"rush!!"

Immediately afterwards, many competitors present also rushed in.

Lin Hao followed the crowd and entered the tower.

As he stepped into the tower gate, Lin Hao’s vision suddenly became dark.

After his vision adjusted, he looked around and found that the tower was extremely large and had many passages.

A large group of people poured in, and soon they each chose a passage and dispersed.

"This tower has more than ten floors. The best treasures are most likely stored in the top area of ​​the tower."

Lin Hao guessed secretly in his heart, then randomly chose a passage and rushed in.

There is a secret room at each end of the passage, at a certain distance.

Next to the door of the secret room, there are several ancient characters engraved. Although I can't understand them, I can roughly guess their meaning.

Obviously, these secret rooms are usually provided as places for warriors to practice in seclusion.

Generally speaking, training places contain rune formations. In order to activate them, they naturally require a steady supply of Lingyang Stones to supply energy.

In other words, this ancient tower must contain a lot of energy stones such as Lingyang Stone.

Along the way, Lin Hao heard ecstatic cheers from time to time, which then turned into curses and fighting sounds.

In that situation, it was obvious that someone had found some treasure, but because the funds were not distributed fairly, they became furious and started fighting for it.

Lin Hao was not curious about this and continued to fly towards the depths of the giant tower.

After a while, Lin Hao finally found the ladder leading to the upper level.

However, the tower stairs are narrow and only one person can pass through.

At this moment, three figures suddenly rushed out from a passage nearby.

These three people are none other than the man with sword-brows and others from Wuling Academy.

It can be seen that their goal seems to be the same as Lin Hao's, which is to climb to the top of the tower.

Lin Hao had an indifferent look on his face and didn't want to have anything to do with them, so he walked straight towards the tower stairs.

However, at this moment, one of them rushed to the stairs and stood in front of Lin Hao.

"Boy, come on first, do you understand the rules?"

He stared at Lin Hao with a teasing look and shouted in a rather rude tone.

This man had dark skin, a small braid on his head, and an extremely arrogant look.

The man with sword-brows and his companions stood aside and did not make any statement regarding their companions' brutal behavior.

Obviously, he condoned the former's actions.

Immediately, the two of them took advantage of this gap and rushed to the tower stairs first.

Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes surged with coldness, but he did not fight for the priority to climb the ladder.

He now only needs one more talisman to make a total of ten.

Now that this guy has fallen behind, it's a good opportunity to target him!

"Later first?"

Lin Hao immediately turned his gaze to the dark-skinned man in front of him and sneered, "You are quite shameless."

Hearing this, the dark-skinned man's eyes suddenly widened in anger.

"court death!"

At that moment, his palm was covered with a layer of red flames, and as if exploding the air, he suddenly slapped towards Lin Hao!
