Aside from the three of them, everyone else was either heavily injured or dead at the end of the path. The trio didn't say much before heading towards the light and disappearing from the Sentinel path.
The moment they disappeared, they heard the words, "Bone age, cultivation, trial, approved to enter Astral-10."
In space, Dorren and the rest looked at the ten paths with apprehension. They didn't know if anyone from the Great Yu Empire would be able to pass; it would be embarrassing if no one did. Astral-10's arrival in the Frostwave Weave was equivalent to the Great Yu Empire. If no one from the Great Yu Empire could enter, they would become the laughingstock of the universe.
However, no one could help them. The Innerverse's top three powers had attacked the assessment, and no one knew about it. Facing the elites of the three powers, Dorren didn't have much hope of passing.
"Look, there's a screen on each path. Those who pass should be able to leave their names on it," Rocky Auna said.
Dorren and the rest stared nervously at the screens, clenching their fists.
There were three Sentinel paths and three screens. One of them already had a name on it — Silver, with the Great Yu Empire behind it.
The other Sentinel path also had a name on it: Zhao Yilong, from the Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
Dorren and the rest stared blankly at the name, "Silver?
Is he one of the people we brought? "
One of them took out a list of students, "Your Highness, no, this person should have come by himself."
Dorren's eyes flashed, "Investigate this person, he's not simple to participate in the assessment here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Huo Qingshan looked at Zhao Yilong's name in surprise, "Someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Peak from the Innerverse came as well. No wonder he could pass through the three powers. This Zhao Yilong should be very strong among Sentinels."
Dorren nodded, "Fifth Sister is the senior apprentice of the Ten Thousand Swords Peak. She should know this person, I'll ask her."
There were a total of ten paths, and the battles on the Sentinel path were relatively simple. The seven Melder paths didn't have a single name on them, not only because the battles were more intense, but also because the Melder path was longer than the Sentinel path.
The last Sentinel path appeared, and Dorren and the rest stared at it. This was the path all Sentinels in the Great Yu Empire took.
The first name that appeared on the screen was Lulu Mavis. Her name was Mavis Bank.
No one was surprised, as the Mavis Family was a colossus that surpassed even the three major powers. It would not be difficult for them to break through the blockade.
The second name appeared, Coco. She was from Windrift Hall.
"There's actually someone from the Windrift Hall here. It seems like the Innerverse doesn't care about Astral-10 at all," Rocky Auna said in surprise.
At that moment, a third name appeared: Lu Yin, from the Great Yu Empire.
The moment they saw Lu Yin's name, Dorren and the others were delighted. Lu Yin was a pure citizen of the Great Yu Empire, and he was also King Zishan. His passing wouldn't be a loss of face for the Great Yu Empire. Although Silver was also noted as a citizen of the Great Yu Empire, he was a little mysterious and couldn't compare to Lu Yin's pleasant surprise.
Rocky Auna nodded in admiration. Being able to enter Astral-10 meant that King Zishan was worthy of the Auna family. Even if he was just an idle prince, his status as a student of the Astral Combat Academy was more than enough to cover up the humiliation of being rejected by Princess Wendy.
Huo Qingshan stared at Lu Yin's name, his eyes twinkling as he thought about something.
Jue Lang had been silent all this time, and he only glanced at Lu Yin's name.
Dorren laughed excitedly and immediately contacted the Empire to pass on the good news.
"Your Highness, let's wait for the results of the Melder's path," Huo Qingshan stopped him.
Dorren slapped his head, "That's true. Wait, I was too impatient, sorry."
To the various powers of the universe, the Sentinel realm was just the beginning. The Melder realm was the true beginning of one's cultivation, and a person's strength as a Melder was enough to determine their entire life. The Astral Combat Academy had a clear realm requirement, with the lowest being a Sentinel and the highest being a Melder. Beyond that, there was no room for improvement. To the Empire, having a Melder enter the Astral Combat Academy was the greatest surprise.
The light beam at the end of the Sentinel path seemed to teleport the three of them to a limestone platform.
The platform wasn't large and was covered in moss. As soon as the three landed, they heard the sound of rain and looked up to see strange plants towering into the clouds.
They were in the depths of a forest shrouded in rain, and beneath their feet was a limestone platform. Rain was falling from the sky, forming a river on the ground that flowed to an unknown destination. The world was dark green and hazy.
Lu Yin turned around and looked around, suddenly spotting a familiar smiling face. "Silver?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Not far away, Silver raised his hand in greeting, "Long time no see, classmate."
Lu Yin hadn't expected to see him here; he'd passed the test earlier than he had.
On the other side, there was another figure standing quietly, gazing at the rain with a simple longsword on his back. His entire body exuded a sharp aura that cut through the rain.
Lu Yin felt a sudden pressure the moment he saw this person; he was definitely powerful.
"Is he from the Myriad Swords Peak?" Coco exclaimed, staring at the man.
Wasn't the Myriad Swords Peak the huge power that Wendy Yushan belonged to?
Was there someone from there as well?
Lulu stared excitedly at the man and then at Silver. Her knuckles cracked as if she wanted to fight, but Coco hurriedly pulled her back.
Lu Yin was curious about Silver's current strength; this person had improved just as quickly as Lu Yin had. When they'd first met, they'd been about the same, but now that they met again, they were still about the same. This person was related to the Neohuman Alliance, so he wouldn't be easy to deal with.
The man from the Myriad Swords Peak kept staring at the rain and didn't pay any attention to Lu Yin's group.
Lu Yin glanced at Silver, but didn't plan on catching up. He looked around, but there was nothing but the dark green sky and the dark green forest. There was also this seemingly never-ending rain.
The path of a Melder was much longer than that of a Sentinel, but even so, there were still powerhouses who had reached the end. A group of five Melders excitedly looked at the distant beam of light, "We're finally here. Brother Meng, the next part is the hardest. We'll have to face the obstruction of the Innerverse's powerful elites."
News of the Innerverse's three great powers sending people to ambush the assessment had already spread, and many people along the way had heard the news. Some immediately gave up, but most of those who had reached the end weren't willing to give up. They had sacrificed too much and wouldn't give up.
Meng Tao's face was resolute; he was from the Vastdearth Sect and was one of the top three powerhouses of the younger generation. The Vastdearth Weave dominated and wouldn't allow anyone to flee without a fight. He wanted to personally experience the power of the Innerverse's powerhouses.
When Meng Tao's group reached the beam of light, there were already people waiting for them, and more were arriving from other directions. There were more than twenty people in total.
In front of them was a giant sylvan dragon that looked down on them, emitting a ferocious aura. Its star energy was as unfathomable as the ocean, and every surge of star energy caused the ground to crack. The air it spat out was like a sharp blade.
The dragon's huge eyes swept across everyone and it let out a deafening roar, "I am Dragon Nine, remember this name. This is the name of the powerhouse who blocked your entry to the Astral Combat Academy."
All the Melders were furious.
Meng Tao stepped forward and faced Dragon Nine, "Meng Tao from the Vastdearth Sect challenges you."
Dragon Nine lowered its head and grinned at Meng Tao. It spat out a powerful air current, "I'll satisfy you."
Less than half a minute later, Meng Tao screamed as his body was bitten by Dragon Nine. Blood dripped down the dragon's enormous body, and a dignified powerhouse from the Vastdearth Sect had been bitten to death.
Everyone felt their scalps go numb; Meng Tao was one of the strongest people in the group, but even he had suffered such a fate. Who else would dare to challenge Dragon Nine?
"Everyone, let's attack together! This thing is called a sylvan dragon, and that meatball on its tail is its weakness," a woman's voice rang out.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Dragon Nine was furious, "Who dares to slander the sylvan dragon clan?"
The next moment, more than twenty Melders attacked together. This was their only chance, and no one dared to say that they could beat Dragon Nine in a one-on-one.
Dragon Nine was enraged, and its huge eyes searched desperately for the person who had spoken. It specifically targeted women, and a few of them were seriously injured. However, there were also a few who broke through Dragon Nine's blockade and rushed towards the beam of light.
Dragon Nine growled and unleashed his extreme speed. His huge body split into two, then three, and finally five. Five afterimages appeared in the sky, blocking the path of the beam of light so that not even a drop of water could escape. All of the Melders were shocked; this speed was too terrifying. This was a powerful creature from the Innerverse.
