The second stage is the ruins stage.
After the teams have gone through a chaotic battle during the initial plundering phase, and some teams have been eliminated from the shattered continent, the mysterious ruins hidden in each area will gradually be revealed.
During this process, the score obtained by the team in the plundering phase will play a key role. The higher the score, the faster they can find out the exact location of the ruins.
The ruins will hold incredible opportunities that can dramatically transform one's strength.
The third stage is the final showdown.
After the ruins are destroyed, the central area of the shattered continent will open, while the remaining areas will begin their countdown to destruction.
At this point, only teams that have accumulated enough points in the early stages and are ranked in the top 100 are qualified to enter this final central area and participate in the ultimate showdown; the other teams will be eliminated.
A great gift awaits in the central area...
"Still playing riddles..."
Qin Luo digested the rules while inwardly complaining, and then informed Murong Liyue and the other two women.
"Dean, what is the final grand gift in this central area? Why is it being kept so mysterious?"
After a moment, Wan Shuhua couldn't help but ask.
As this question was asked, an aged voice suddenly rang out:
"Why are you in such a hurry, little brat? You'll know when you reach the final stage. I dare say this great gift is something even your dean is envious of. It's enough for many people to digest. This thing was something that the old frizzy bird from the Spirit Phoenix Sect managed to pull out with great difficulty."
As soon as the voice fell, a dark figure flashed out from the corner of the hall, transforming into an old man with a hunched back but vigorous spirit—it was Yuan Yu.
He glared at Wan Shuhua with annoyance and continued:
"That old woman from the Spirit Phoenix Sect is usually very arrogant. I don't know what got into her this time, but she brought out such a rare item. But that's precisely why this competition between academies is even more exciting. You little guys should work hard and not waste this rare opportunity."
Dean Yuanxuan, standing to the side, also wore a wry smile. In fact, he also wanted to know what kind of treasure it was, but what could he do if Brother Yuanyu didn't tell him?
"It's about time, huh? Those shameless old bastards are actually giving us special treatment. Our Lingyuan Sect can't fall behind."
As he spoke, Yuan Yu quickly stretched out his hand, and dark spiritual energy surged from his palm. A deep silver light flashed within, intertwining with the spiritual energy and emitting a powerful fluctuation.
As Yuan Yu released his spiritual energy, Qin Luo and the others heard a deafening dragon roar, and the space began to swell into chaos.
The once smooth floor of the main hall turned into a distorted lake, with ripples spreading outwards, and the walls became blurred under the influence of this force.
Qin Luo and the others felt a sudden dizziness as their bodies were uncontrollably swept by the spiritual energy, which abruptly pulled them into another dimension.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Luo and the others vanished mysteriously, leaving only an empty hall.
......
At the same time, inside the Linghuang Gate, a lively and bustling atmosphere filled with the chirping of orioles and the chatter of swallows.
Countless female students dressed in colorful dresses looked up like a riot of flowers vying for attention, their eyes fixed on the three teams that everyone was eagerly anticipating.
However, most people's eyes were firmly drawn to the team at the very front.
Among the group, there was a woman of average stature, but she wore a noble purple robe, with a thin veil lightly covering her face, revealing only a pair of bright, cold stars.
Although her face was obscured, the unique aura she exuded made her impossible to ignore.
Behind her, numerous female disciples of the Spirit Phoenix Sect displayed a variety of expressions.
Some eyes were filled with extreme envy, while others showed a hint of jealousy, their lips slightly pursed, and a trace of resentment flashing in their eyes.
The reason is simple: they all know that the woman behind the veil not only possesses unparalleled beauty that drives them mad with envy, but also strength far surpasses their own.
"That must be Junior Sister Xia. I heard she reached the Spirit Tribulation realm in just two years since joining our Spirit Phoenix Sect. She's incredibly strong, and most importantly, I was fortunate enough to see her true face. She's absolutely stunning; even I, as a woman, couldn't help but feel jealous."
A senior female disciple dressed in a light blue silk dress stared intently at Xia Zihan not far away, her eyes filled with envy. Her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, attracting the attention of the female disciples around her.
"Sigh, Junior Sister Xia is indeed outstanding in every way. Her talent for cultivation is superb, and her appearance is impeccable. It's just a pity..."
Another senior sister with a plump figure shook her head slightly, a hint of regret on her face. After looking Xia up and down for a moment, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Compared to the graceful senior sisters in our sect, her figure is a bit too thin and lacks a bit of charm. However, it doesn't matter much; it's a minor flaw."
......
Xia Zihan keenly noticed these whispers. Although she felt dissatisfied, upon closer examination, she realized that every word was true and there was no way to refute them.
In the past two years, she has devoted herself entirely to cultivation, immersing herself in the cultivation of spiritual energy and the study of techniques every day, seemingly forgetting everything else.
Two years have passed in a flash. Everyone else has grown into a graceful and elegant woman with a shapely figure, but my body seems to have not grown at all. I am still the same slightly thin person.
"Pfft, Zihan, don't worry, I didn't hear anything, hahaha."
Dongfang Yingluo, standing to the side, bit her lower lip, trying her best to suppress her laughter, while her bright golden ponytail swayed incessantly.
