“Buzz!”
Accompanied by ripples of spatial fluctuations, more than two hundred geniuses were teleported to the edge of a scorching pool of lava.
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
Just as everyone arrived beside the lava, the blistering magma began to bubble frantically.
Then, giant red serpents emerged one after another from the lava.
“They're Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents! Their saliva is highly toxic. Once you're touched by it, even if you don't die, you'll lose a layer of skin.”
Seeing that the creatures emerging from the Demon Abyss this time were actually Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents, many geniuses who had done their homework had their expressions change drastically.
It wasn't that these Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents were too powerful individually, but rather that their numbers were overwhelming. If you attacked just one of them, the rest would swarm you together, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
You might be able to dodge the breath of ten or a hundred flood serpents, but what about hundreds or thousands?
Moreover, their breath was corrosive; ordinary treasures wouldn't be able to resist it for long.
But just as the group of geniuses was discussing countermeasures and wanting to unite everyone to take action together, a youth dressed in a black robe with gold trim laughed heartily as he charged toward the Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents in front of him.
While stepping through the air and sprinting toward the Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents, the youth let out sinister laughs of “hehehe” from time to time.
The youth was none other than Ye Lin, who, upon seeing so many homeless Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents, was prepared to show them some of a strict father's love.
Now, whenever he killed an evil spirit or a member of another race, he could obtain demon-slaying points, Luck, other-race lifespan, talents, Power of Sin, Power of Heaven's Punishment, blood qi, soul power, and members of the Reincarnation Legion.
Getting nine benefits from a single kill, he had truly squeezed every last drop of value out of these evil spirits.
Therefore, with so many Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents laid out before him, they were like a mountain of rewards. Hesitating for even a single second would be disrespectful to a strict father.
“Rumble!”
The moment he struck, he unleashed his full power without hesitation. Activating his God-grade fire attribute control, the Great Dark Heaven Flame transformed into a sky full of dark-gray flames, instantly enveloping all the lava ahead.
In the next instant, a series of explosions rang out. Not a single Scarlet Flame Flood Serpent, whether at the Qi Condensation Stage, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core Stage, could last even a second under the Great Dark Heaven Flame.
After all, the Great Dark Heaven Flame was an Immortal-grade flame, and Ye Lin possessed God-grade fire attribute control. Even if he couldn't unleash its full power, annihilating any opponent at the Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage was still incredibly easy.
[Ding! You have slain a large number of evil spirits eroding the power of heaven and earth. Congratulations, you have obtained 89,000 years of other-race lifespan and 3,000 Luck Value.
You have picked up 521 talents, accumulated 521 units of the Power of Heaven's Punishment, and your Reincarnation Legion has gained 521 new members...]
As one evil spirit after another perished under his powerful fatherly love, a series of game notification sounds rang in Ye Lin's ears.
While he was having a great time slaughtering them, the other geniuses were utterly dumbfounded.
Initially, when they saw Ye Lin charge out, many geniuses had their expressions change drastically. Once attacked, the Scarlet Flame Flood Serpents would hold an extreme grudge, collectively attacking until either their enemies were destroyed or they themselves were wiped out.
Thus, everyone wanted to curse Ye Lin for being a reckless fool, and they had all prepared themselves to fight to the death or retreat.
But when they saw Ye Lin unleash the world-destroying Great Dark Heaven Flame, all the geniuses were so shocked they were completely speechless.
They could only watch in a daze as Ye Lin, like an evil spirit harvester, wiped out all the evil spirits in the lava with a simple wave of his hand.
“Hehehe, they say big places have more opportunities. That saying is indeed true.”
With the evil spirits in the Demon Abyss completely wiped out and having obtained a massive amount of rewards, Ye Lin couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
In the Tianyuan Dynasty, there were barely any such Demon Abysses, and once cleared, they were gone.
But in the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, a mere assessment allowed them to enter such a Demon Abyss. In the future, there would certainly be plenty of other Demon Abysses where evil spirits gathered in even greater numbers and with stronger power.
Big places really did have more opportunities; young people should definitely go out and explore more.
After harvesting all the evil spirits, Ye Lin originally wanted to take Qi Changqing and the others directly back to the square of Great Yan Cultivation Academy.
But when he realized that having too many assessment points was useless, he thought about it and decided to hold an auction.
“Are you feeling anxious because you don't have a single point? Are you afraid of failing the promotion assessment because you lack points?
“Right now, we're having a massive points clearance sale! Not 8,888, not 888, but for just 88 low-grade spirit stones, you can take home one point!
“One point won't make you suffer, nor will it cheat you, but it can buy you a bright future! With just one point, you can surpass the vast majority of the geniuses present here!
“Don't miss out if you're passing by! Time is limited, and once it's gone, it's gone!”
Stepping on the void to stand before everyone, Ye Lin immediately began advertising using the sales pitch from before his transmigration.
Seeing how Ye Lin, who had swept through the entire battlefield like a god of slaughter just moments ago, had now turned into a street vendor, everyone truly experienced what a drastic face-turn was.
But shock aside, after witnessing Ye Lin's unfathomable methods, it was impossible for them to snatch his points by force.
Yet, if they wanted to pass the assessment, they couldn't do so without any points.
Thus, what should have been a fierce battle of wits and strength to hunt evil spirits had now turned into a highly competitive auction.
The key was that this auction was completely within the rules, and no one could find any fault with it.
On the outer square of Great Yan Cultivation Academy, the outer disciples and the elders and high-level figures of the other Yellow-grade Cultivation Academies were all so shocked that their jaws dropped.
“Incredible! As expected of the fierce guy who even dared to thrash an Outer Academy Deacon. With that terrifying flame of his, I'm afraid none of us outer disciples can block it anymore.”
“Indeed remarkable. He hasn't even entered the academy yet, but his strength is already chasing after those top geniuses of the Inner Academy. I'm afraid our Great Yan Cultivation Academy is going to become extremely lively.”
“Never mind whether it gets lively later. Now that he's turned a promotion assessment into this, do you think the elders and those high-level figures who already decided the top three spots in advance will just sit by and do nothing?”
Watching Ye Lin's series of absurd actions, the outer disciples couldn't help but discuss heatedly.
Among the elders of the Yellow-grade Cultivation Academies, some were glad that this promotion assessment had turned into a peaceful bidding war, while others envied Ye Lin's overwhelming strength, which was a complete dimensional reduction strike against everyone else.
Still others were stomping their feet in anger, most representative of whom was True Monarch Qingyu. Originally, their academy's team this time did have a very powerful genius.
He had been extremely confident that his academy's genius would make a stunning debut in the assessment, and perhaps even contest for one of the top three spots.
But now, seeing that his arch-rival, Tianyuan Academy, had produced an invincible existence capable of crushing the entire field, how could he hold back his anger?
“Second Elder, I believe this brat Ye Lin has violated the rules of the promotion assessment. We should void his results and cripple his cultivation to serve as a warning to others!”
Before True Monarch Qingyu could speak, the voice of the fat Deacon, Wu Yong, suddenly rang out.
