At this moment, at the forefront of the line, Demon King Mo Bing slowly stood still, turned around, and shouted to the Holy Temple disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace behind him, "Now distribute the rewards for the first round of promotion. Once all the rewards are given out, we'll begin the second round of assessment."

"Understood!"

The Holy Temple disciples of the Dark Dragon Palace responded respectfully, then picked up the trays and proceeded to distribute the rewards.

Those who advanced to the second round could each obtain ten pieces of top-grade blood crystals. Although it wasn't much, the quality was high. After all, not every demon was qualified to get top-grade blood crystals.

Mu Qianxue ranked fourth and had five thousand pieces of top-grade blood crystals. However, she didn't even look at them and just tossed them all into her Space Spirit Ring.

To her, it seemed that external objects scarcely impacted her. As long as the memories deep within her awakened, she would only grow stronger.

Amid countless envious gazes, Ling Feng pocketed a hundred thousand pieces of top-grade blood crystals.

A hundred thousand pieces, not too much, yet definitely not too little.

Soon, the blood crystals were all distributed. Demon King Mo Bing cleared his throat, scanned the contestants, and then said aloud, "In this round, we are testing the purity of demon essence."

Demon King Mo Bing paused, slowly walked to the center of the massive platform, and pointed at the stone pillars, saying indifferently, "These are the famed Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars of our Dark Dragon Holy Hall."

"I'm sure many have heard of the great name of the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars. What you need to do is use your strongest power to attack the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars before you. The purer your demon essence, the more Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars will light up. The duration of the light also represents your final score."

"For example, if your attack lights up eight Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars and sustains for three breaths, your score is 'eight-color three breaths.'"

Demon King Mo Bing smiled lightly, "However, this is just an example. After all, it's been over a thousand years since anyone managed to light up all eight Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars."

"Interesting."

Ling Feng nodded secretly. This kind of test didn't rely on any tricks, but entirely on real ability. If your demon essence wasn't pure enough, you'd naturally be eliminated.

"In this second round of assessment, out of a thousand people, only four hundred can advance smoothly. Those who pass this round can earn at least fifty pieces of top-grade blood crystals."

Demon King Mo Bing smiled faintly, "Of course, the champion can still win a hundred thousand pieces of top-grade blood crystals. Youngsters of all clans, keep up the effort."

With this, Demon King Mo Bing slowly stepped aside, and naturally, there were relevant staff members to let these contestants take the test one by one.

"Alright, the second round of the assessment officially begins!"

Demon King Mo Bing shouted, and from the depths of the Dark Dragon Holy Hall, over a dozen figures emerged, all clad in eight-colored robes. These individuals were supervisors sent by the Eight Great Dragon Halls, all of them were strong at the Demon King level.

In their hands, they all carried a small notebook for recording, meaning the scores of this assessment would be judged by these Demon Kings themselves, making it appear rather fair and just.

At this moment, the first contestant had already stood before the black Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar. In fact, attacking any Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar yielded the same result, as when any Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar lit up, it only counted as one color.

Ling Feng was generally toward the back in order, but thanks to his extraordinary eye power, it didn't hinder him from watching the test results.

Due to facing backward, Ling Feng couldn't see the contestant's expression, but it was obvious that this guy must be very nervous, as his legs were still trembling.

"Phew!"

The contestant took a deep breath, and with a "whoosh," pulled out a pitch-black Big Iron Hammer. He first retreated a few steps, then abruptly charged forward, striking heavily with his strongest blow.

Among the Demon Clan, most used heavy weapons like hammers, axes, clubs, or their own fists and sharp claws, seldom using swords and knives. After all, most of the Demon Clan had strength to spare but lacked dexterity.

However, exceptions did exist.

The first talented contestant from the Demon Clan, although the hammer technique seemed quite simple, his demon essence's purity was fairly good; with one strike, he simultaneously lit up two Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars, sustaining for two breaths.

"Two-color two breaths."

An elder with cloudy eyes blandly reported his score, not even lifting his head, and said, "Next."

The second contestant hurried to his place and punched hard, but unfortunately, he didn't even activate a single Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar!

"Haha, a zero!"

Soon someone laughed loudly, "What a waste, couldn't even activate one Demon Pillar, such a waste!"

"Idiot!"

Some old-timers who had participated in tests before showed a trace of disdainful smiles. Coiling Dragon Demon Pillars weren't so easily activated, did they think that the score of "two-color two breaths" was commonplace?

In fact, contestants who could activate one color were already quite outstanding; the one with two-color two breaths was a genius among geniuses.

Soon, those mocking the "zero" contestant understood why some sneered at them, because more than a hundred participants followed, and almost all were zeros, without a single one surpassing the "two-color two breaths" score.

Only then did they realize it wasn't that the "zero" contestants were trash but that the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar test was just too monstrous!

As time passed, the second round of testing neared its end. So far, a young man at the High-level Demon Monarch level had performed best. He was a descendant of the King Beast of the Gale Battle Wolf Clan, with extremely high bloodline purity, thus achieving a good score of five-color six breaths.

"Xiao Xue, your turn is almost up, keep it up."

Ling Feng gave a gentle smile to Mu Qianxue. Only about thirty contestants remained ahead, and at this moment, the renowned Yain Xue was stepping onto the stage.

Yain Xue, face solemn, slowly walked to the forefront of the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar. He must win the second round after losing the first round to the obscure Long Fei!

He had never feared anyone when it came to the purity of demon essence.

After all, his father was a Peak Demon Emperor!

Regarding bloodline, except for the direct descendants of the Demon Emperor, no one was more outstanding than him.

"Zheng!"

The sound of the sword rang, and a Silver Frost Heavy Sword appeared, instantly stirring up frosty winds sweeping through the plaza.

This Yain Xue actually also used a sword.

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly.

Vast demon essence surged from within him, unleashing a terrifying aura. To condense as pure a power as possible, Yain Xue's movements were slow and prudently cautious.

The Demon Kings responsible for recording scores finally looked up, secretly impressed: This guy is indeed talented, as expected from the Red Dragon Hall's predetermined disciple.

"True to being the Silver Wolf Young Master, judging by this momentum, the result has to be at least six colors!"

"I've heard about this move from Yain Xue before. It's said that the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor once acquired a secret technique from the Human Clan, enabling him to compress demon essence nine times, unleashing ninefold power. Tsk tsk tsk, with this second test, it's certain Yain Xue will take the crown."

"Don't make a fuss. The Silver Wolf Demon Emperor is from the Red Dragon Hall, and this Silver Wolf Young Master is essentially already the predetermined closed-door disciple of Lord Red Dragon Envoy. What's strange about being strong?"

As the contestants chattered, Yain Xue had already peaked his momentum and struck with his sword. It was like a Frost Dragon bursting forth, carrying a high-pitched Dragon Roar, and fiercely striking the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar.

The next moment, with a "buzz," the Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar shook violently, and the first black divine light surged skyward.

Subsequently, red, orange, yellow, green, and cyan lights also lit up simultaneously, the spectrum rocketing into the sky, combining into a rainbow shaft, resonating with that black light.

So far, six colors shone brightly together.

And this was far from over, as the seventh blue Coiling Dragon Demon Pillar also rang with a "buzz," erupting with a dazzling blue divine light.
