Chapter Forty-Nine: Sword Deity Li Liushui, the Dark Werewolf Clan

Soon after, figures began to emerge from the replica space. There were at least ten thousand people present. Apart from the one thousand candidates from Jiangnan Province, examinees from other provinces had also arrived.

“Fellow candidates, let me introduce myself first. I am Li Flowing Water!” As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of astonishment swept through the crowd.

“It’s actually Sword God Li Flowing Water, the man who cleaves rivers with a single blade!”

“I never imagined we’d hear the Sword God’s voice in person!”

Li Flowing Water was one of the top powerhouses in Great Xia, revered as the Sword God. The appearance of his voice alone sent shock through all the candidates. Not only did his words echo within the replica space, but they also reverberated throughout every examination hall.

Upon hearing the voice, Ding Wu’s expression changed abruptly. “How could the Sword God’s voice be broadcast here? Has something major happened?”

While everyone was still puzzled, Li Flowing Water’s voice sounded once more.

“People from the Demon Realm have invaded the replica space. We are currently repairing the space’s rules, and it will take at least half an hour!”

“The Demon Realm targets all Great Xia candidates, so for the next half hour, you must protect yourselves.”

“We don’t know what methods the Demon Realm will use against you!”

“But remember, as long as you stand united, the Demon Realm will be powerless against you!”

“You are the finest talents of Great Xia, and I believe in you!”

Li Flowing Water’s voice was compelling, instantly stirring the crowd into a frenzy.

“Defeat the demons!”

“Defeat the demons!”

“Defeat the demons!”

The examinees, all vibrant eighteen-year-olds, were easily swept up in emotion and began to shout loudly. Even Ye Mengyan felt compelled to join in, but seeing Yang Feng quietly beside her, she suddenly paused.

Yang Feng hadn’t spoken, but as a son of Great Xia, his face also showed excitement. He didn’t shout along, but if he encountered the Demon Realm’s warriors, he would show them no mercy.

Soon, the candidates began to gather together. In class, their teachers had told them that the Demon Realm was a terrifying place, filled with countless demonic beasts, myriad demons, and endless replicas and equipment.

“I’ve heard the Demon Realm is very frightening, and their monsters are called demonic beasts,” Ye Mengyan whispered.

She had learned about the Demon Realm from her father, so her heart was filled with fear. Yang Feng had only heard about it during lessons, but his teacher never went into much detail. So both Yang Feng and Ye Mengyan only had a superficial understanding of the Demon Realm.

Yang Feng spoke calmly, “I trust the Sword God.”

Since Li Flowing Water had said that unity would enable them to resist the Demon Realm’s invaders, Yang Feng grasped the key point: their enemy wasn’t the Demon Realm itself, but its people—the dark forces invading the replica space.

He believed this dark force was not too strong and that they could handle it. If the Demon Realm had truly sent a beast or warrior above level 50, they could slaughter them all.

Meanwhile, at the Jiangnan Provincial Examination Hall, Ding Wu’s face was grim. “I didn’t expect such a thing to happen!”

Compared to the other examiners, Ding Wu remained much calmer.

“What on earth is going on?”

“How could something like this happen?”

“I can’t believe the Demon Realm is targeting this year’s college entrance exam!”

“You’re mistaken. They’re actually targeting the geniuses taking the exam.”

“If we don’t resolve this properly, the Demon Realm will come every year.”

“It seems they want to sever Great Xia’s foundation!”

Those who made it to the fifth round of the exam were the future leaders of Great Xia. The Demon Realm’s move was truly ruthless.

“Enough! Silence!” Ding Wu suddenly shouted.

All the examiners immediately fell silent.

Ning Wu swept his gaze over everyone and spoke, “Inform the candidates not to panic. We must trust the Sword God!”

“And you should do the same. We all need to believe in him!”

“We understand. We will trust the Sword God!”

The examiners nodded respectfully. Li Flowing Water held a position of immense authority in Great Xia; his words carried great weight.

Very soon, everyone quieted down. At this moment, all they could do was place their faith in Li Flowing Water. Of course, their hearts were anxious for the candidates inside the replica space.

Inside the replica space, the dark aura was growing ever thicker.

In the sky, at some unknown moment, a half-blood-red moon appeared.

“That’s the Blood Moon of the Demon Realm!” someone cried out.

“The Demon Realm has begun their assault. Everyone, be ready!”

Blood-colored moonlight spilled across the ground. The scent of blood in the air grew stronger and stronger. Witnessing this, everyone prepared for battle.

Combat profession candidates stood at the very front, while support professions remained at the back. All the examinees arranged themselves in battle formation.

At the front were knights, swordsmen, and warriors—combat professionals. In the middle stood mages and archers—ranged combat professionals. At the rear were priests and other support professions.

To kill those at the back, one would have to get past the warriors, knights, and swordsmen first.

“Hahaha… Are you all ready for battle?”

“Too bad, every one of you is going to die!”

“Half an hour is more than enough to slaughter you!”

“After you’re dead, I’ll take your corpses back to the Demon Realm!”

“The bodies of you strong humans are the best nourishment for us!”

As a sinister laugh echoed, everyone felt their scalp tingle.

Hearing this, Yang Feng’s face showed disgust. He hated these sneaky demonfolk more than anything.

Beside him, Ye Mengyan’s face was pale as snow. She unconsciously moved closer to Yang Feng, as if staying beside him was the only way to feel safe.

Not just Ye Mengyan—many candidates were terrified by the voice, their faces ashen.

“The demons are here!” someone suddenly shouted.

Under the blood-red moonlight, a gigantic figure appeared.

One after another, detection water balls were thrown, immediately revealing the enemy’s information.
