The next morning.

Liu Yan brought Murong Xue and the other two girls to the square of the upper house of Lighthouse Academy.

The sky had just brightened, but many students already gathered there.

Today was the grand day for these students who were climbing the Tower. Today was the day the fourth level of the Tower opened.

Liu Yan and the other three had a simple breakfast. They also came to the crowd and waited patiently.

“I wonder what the fourth level of the Tower looks like. There has been no news at all.” Murong Xue said curiously.

Chu Long also had a curious look on her face, “They will reveal the rules after the Tower opens and begins to merge.”

Luo Qingcheng knew more in the Command School. At this time, she calmly said, “I know a little. According to the previous rules, the fourth level of the Tower is the simplest and easiest level. Although there will be some slight changes every time, there is no significant change. If we do our best, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Hearing Luo Qingcheng’s words, Murong Xue and Chu Long felt more at ease.

At this time, the crowd that was still discussing earlier gradually quieted down.

On the stage, a middle-aged man with a stern face walked out.

The middle-aged man did not say a word and just stood there quietly. However, his imposing manner was full of killing intent. The students below instantly quieten down.

At this time, Liu Yan also looked at the middle-aged man on the stage with some curiosity. Through the A-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan could sense the powerful aura of the middle-aged man.

Without a doubt, the middle-aged man on the stage was extremely powerful. He was even much stronger than the previous head of the new students and the vice principal of the four great schools.

Compared to Principal Zhong Yuntian’s profound and unfathomable abilities, he might not be as powerful as this middle-aged man. Zhong Yuntian’s aura was stable, while the aura of the middle-aged man on the stage was aggressive. Everyone was shocked by his intimidating aura.

Other than his powerful strength, what made Liu Yan even more surprised was that the middle-aged man in front of him had powerful killing intent.

It was the murderous aura of a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had been stained with blood countless times.

For students like Liu Yan, even if they had killed many fierce beasts on the first three levels of the Tower, they would not have this kind of murderous aura. They were not on the same level at all.

“What a strong aura!” Murong Xue also stared at the middle-aged man on the stage with surprise.

At this time, Luo Qingcheng explained, “He is Lan Jinqiu, the deputy principal of Our Lighthouse Academy. After the principal left, he took over the management of the Lighthouse Academy. He used to be one of the principal’s underlings and had fought in the higher levels of Tower before. He came to the Lighthouse Academy to recuperate because he was injured. Later, he will return to the front line of the battlefield.”

Hearing this, Chu Long nodded her head, “No wonder his aura is so strong. So he’s an expert from the higher levels of the Tower.”

At this moment, Lan Jinqiu looked at the students below indifferently. His gaze was calm, but he glanced at Liu Yan a few times as if he had paid special attention to Liu Yan.

Immediately after, Lan Jinqiu looked at the students in the square again. He slowly said, “The fourth level of the Tower is about to open. Those who want to climb the Tower, be prepared. Those who are not prepared to climb the Tower, leave quickly. The fourth level of the Tower will open on time in one hour, and the merger will start!”

His calm voice was full of vigor.

When the students below heard this, some were nervous, some were excited, and some were looking forward to it.

Many students had entered the upper house of Lighthouse Academy to increase their strength and strive for the higher level of the Tower.

The students e now had a certain level of confidence in their own strengths. They felt they were ready before they dared to ascend the Tower.

A small portion of the people sent their friends off and said their goodbyes. Then, they left one after another.

The remaining people who were left behind were naturally all the people who wanted to climb the Tower this time.

Seeing that the people who should have left had already left, Lan Jinqiu also made some announcements about this time’s climb.

“Every climber, the fourth level of the Tower can be considered as one of the easier levels among the many levels of the Tower. As long as you have the corresponding strength, you can generally easily pass the fourth level of the Tower, so there’s no need to be too nervous.”

“The fourth level of the Tower is different from the previous Tower world. The fourth level is a test.”

“Your respective instructors will lead you to the five altars to conduct five tests where your abilities will be tested.”

“Each test will have 200 points, and the five tests will have a total score of 1,000 points. Those who have reached the final score of 600 points will pass the test. You will be able to pass through the fourth level of the Tower and head to the higher levels of the Tower to train.”

“Those who fail will not be in danger, but you are not allowed to go up. Those who fail will return to the Lighthouse Academy and repeat their grades. They will continue to train and increase their strength, waiting for the next opportunity to ascend the Tower.”

“The score for this test will not only be used for the evaluation and comparison between the students. It will be able to assess your strength. It will affect the value and resources that the Federation will place on you in the higher levels of the Tower in the future. The higher the score, the better your overall talent and strength. Naturally, you will receive more attention and resources in the future. Therefore, although this test is safe and won’t be life-threatening like the other levels of the Tower, it will not be easy. It will affect your future. All of you must take it seriously.”

“Of course, apart from the fact that the marks will affect each of you, it will also have a huge impact on our academy.”

“There are more outstanding students there are in each academy every year. If there are students with a total score of 900 points this year, then our academy will have a fruitful year. Your score will affect the funds and resources allocated to our academy by the Federation. You will affect the future of our academy as well as the future of the students after you.”

“Therefore, this examination is extremely important to both you and our academy. I hope that all of you will be able to display your full strength and try your best to obtain a good result!”

“The academy that will merge with us this time is the Gifted Academy. Lighthouse Academy and Gifted Academy competed with each other throughout the year. However, in recent years, the Lighthouse Academy has always been inferior to Gifted Academy. I hope that all of you will be able to surpass Gifted Academy this time!”

“…”

When the Tower climbing students heard Lan Jinqiu’s introduction, the senior students knew the rules. The new students were all a little surprised. They had never thought that the fourth level of the Tower would have such rules.

It was different from the previous levels of the Tower. There was either a need to hunt fierce beasts or a need to survive. All of these would involve life-threatening dangers.

Compared to the fourth level of the Tower, it was much safer. Even if their exam results were not good and failed, they would still be able to return safely to the academy to continue cultivating and wait for the next opportunity to climb the Tower.

Lan Jinqiu said it was safe to climb to the fourth level, but it was not easy at all.

The results of the examination would affect the future of every student and even the academy. It would have a great impact, especially since the competitors were also from the top-ranked Gifted Academy in the Federation. The students from Gifted Academy were also quite strong. In recent years, they were almost surpassing Lighthouse Academy.

This time, climbing the fourth level of the Tower would have a great impact on all of them!
