Devouring: Starting from Canglu Academy, it sweeps across all races

Ji Hang and I entered the palace, which was a sci-fi hall with a silver-white style.

In the center of the hall was a huge virtual screen, and on the floor were rows of virtual pods connected by countless wires, which crisscrossed and looked quite messy.

Simply lie down in the virtual pod to enter the Azure Flame Illusion.

"Brother Li, let's hurry up and go into the Azure Flame Illusion to experience it."

Ji Hang's tone was filled with excitement and eagerness.

Mu Li nodded, randomly selected an unmanned virtual reality pod, and entered the Azure Flame Illusionary Realm with Ji Hang.

……

"How rudimentary!"

Mu Li stood in a square, surveying her surroundings.

The entire Azure Flame Illusionary Realm is composed of two mountain peaks that are cut in half. One of the peaks is topped with a towering stone tower that reaches into the clouds, while the other peak is covered with numerous arenas.

Apart from that, there is nothing else in the Azure Flame Illusion.

Mu Li was greatly disappointed, feeling that it was too different from the virtual world she had imagined.

"but……"

Mu Li looked up and saw the sun shining brightly, the blue sky clear and blue, and the green trees covering the mountain peaks, exuding vitality, which was in stark contrast to the Liaoyuan Underground City!

"For the Azure Flame Clan, who have always lived in the Wildfire Underground City, the scenes in the Azure Flame Illusion must have been incredibly shocking!"

As for the two enormous peaks in front of us, they correspond to the Hidden Dragon List and the Heavenly List, respectively, and are officially named "Dragon Ascension Peak" and "Heaven Ascension Peak".

A moment later, Mu Li arrived at the top of Dengtian Peak.

Compared to challenging the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he would rather challenge the Heaven Ranking, since the Heaven Ranking requires challenging the players on the list, and if he wins, he can get the system's Source Points reward!

I browsed through the rules.

The Peak of Ascension is divided into two areas: the testing hall and the challenge arena.

In the test hall, there is a metal puppet. Challengers need to fight the metal puppet. The system will give you a corresponding combat power value based on your performance, and then determine your ranking on the leaderboard based on the combat power value.

Of course, challengers can also directly challenge players ranked no more than 10 places higher than themselves on the leaderboard. The challenged player must accept the challenge within one day, otherwise the system will automatically declare them the loser.

"This place suits me perfectly!"

"Not only can I spar with others and hone my secret technique 'Wildfire,' but I can also obtain Source Point rewards." Mu Li's lips curled up slightly.

He didn't go to the testing hall, but went straight to the challenge arena.

At this moment, there are several arenas on the challenge stage where people are fighting, most of them being lower-ranked contestants.

Should we challenge No. 269, Ukun?

Mu Li challenged the person ranked last on the Heavenly Ranking.

Meanwhile, Wu Kun, who had just stepped down from the challenge arena, was about to take a sip of water to moisten his throat when suddenly, another message popped up in the system's backend.

"Uh, someone else has challenged me? I just won one match. The lower you are on the Heavenly Ranking, the more challenges you'll get. I need to improve my ranking on the Heavenly Ranking as soon as possible."

Wu Kun wasn't in a hurry to click "confirm." He first opened the challenger's profile, but when he saw the message on the screen...

"Huh? Mu Li, only at the second tier of the Planetary level? Ranked eighth in the 42nd Wilderness Prodigy Battle? You dare challenge me? Do you think I'm an easy target?"

Wu Kun couldn't help but laugh in anger. Without hesitation, he immediately clicked to accept the challenge.

He was, after all, the fifth-ranked genius in the previous Wildfire Prodigy Tournament, and with over 320 people in the entire Hidden Dragon Academy, his strength was definitely not weak.

[Confirmation successful. Please proceed to Arena #8!]

"Kid, are you so confident you can beat me because you see I'm at the bottom of the rankings?"

On arena number 8, Wu Kun looked at Mu Li, who was dressed in black battle armor, and couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know once you try it."

Mu Li drew a straight battle sword and calmly looked at Wu Kun... On the challenge arena, all weapons and battle suits were provided uniformly by the system.

"snort!"

Wu Kun was enraged by Mu Li's words. He grinned cruelly, "I'll show you just how big the gap is between you and me."

He gripped a jet-black battle axe, slammed his legs into the ground, and poured his primal energy into the axe.

The next instant, Wu Kun, like a raging bear, was enveloped in a layer of frenzied flames, and then he slashed down fiercely at Mu Li with his battle axe.

"die!"

Mu Li lightly leaped up and unleashed the fifth move of "Wildfire" – "Unquenchable Flames" – like fireworks in the wind, enduring the onslaught of wind and rain without ever being extinguished!

Wu Kun's black battle axe was easily dodged by Mu Li at an unpredictable angle. Then, Mu Li's battle blade spun around his waist and slashed down from another angle.

"The Fourth Form of 'Prairie Fire': Spring Farewell!"

"What?"

Wu Kun was startled and quickly held his battle axe in front of his chest. With a loud bang, he was cleaved away by the blade, and the flames attached to the blade clung to his body like maggots.

Wu Kun could only mobilize his internal energy to suppress this force, but this force still caused him considerable damage, and his internal organs were shaking.

He was somewhat incredulous. "How is this possible? I'm already at the peak of the third stage of the Planetary Realm... while Mu Li only broke through to the second stage of the Planetary Realm during the Battle of the Wilderness Prodigies, yet I was completely overwhelmed by him?"

"And what exactly is that secret technique? How can it be so mysterious and unpredictable?"

However, he had no time to think... Mu Li was relentless and relentlessly used the moves from "The Wildfire," one after another, making Wu Kun suffer greatly.

Finally, after exchanging dozens of blows, Wu Kun was slashed across the neck by Mu Li from the side, and his head, with its pupils wide open, was thrown away.

[In Arena 8, challenger Mu Li emerged victorious, securing rank 269 on the Heavenly Ranking]

At the same time, a notification sounded in Mu Li's mind.

Congratulations on obtaining 36 Source Points!

"I actually got 36 Source Points!" Mu Li's face lit up with joy. "The Hidden Dragon Academy is indeed a great place to farm Source Points. In the past, during the Wilderness Prodigy Battle, I usually only got a dozen to twenty Source Points."

After so many years of exploration, Mu Li has gained a basic understanding of the Source Point System.

First, if he wants to obtain Source Points, he must defeat an opponent of the same or even stronger level... The system will make a judgment, and if the opponent's level is lower than his, he will not receive any Source Points.

The stronger the opponent, the more Source Points he will obtain.

He cannot obtain any source points if the opponent is someone he has defeated.

However, if the opponent continues to grow stronger after being defeated by him and surpasses him in level... then Mu Li can obtain the corresponding source points by defeating him again.

In short, the system's calculation formula is extremely complex, and even after so many years of exploration, Mu Li still doesn't quite understand it.

"I defeated Wu Kun and obtained a total of 36 Source Points. Wu Kun is a Tier 3 Planetary level, which is one level higher than mine, so the system gave me more Source Points than usual."

Mu Li secretly guessed.

[Shall we challenge Qiao Ze, number 268?]

Mu Li wasted no time and seamlessly transitioned to challenge the next contestant...
