Chapter 135 Students Display Their Unique Abilities, Gray-Clad Cult Member Li Tong

Not long after Dean Xiao issued his order, the hidden stones buried near the square lit up one by one, eventually intertwining to form a star map.

Dark stones connect to form star trails, which in turn trace a star map. There is more than one star map; four star maps on the ground and three in the sky echo each other and converge to form a huge shadow constellation.

With the completion of the Shadow Constellation, the starry night sky disappeared, and the flames in the distant city vanished. The plaza became pitch black, and the fierce battle ceased with the activation of the Night Domination Array.

"What...what's going on???"

"Oh my god, I can't see anything at all."

"Why can't I cast my spell? What's going on?"

"It seems like I'm the same way. Xingzi has become extremely uneasy and has started to disobey my control."

Under the rule of Siye, walls formed by shrubs separated the trainees. The trainees, forcibly separated, became inexplicably uneasy, and gradually their unease amplified into boundless fear. The timid female trainees were so frightened that they cried.

"Priest, why is there such a large formation here? Could it be that we've been discovered?" Fu Tianming said, his face pale.

Having spent so much time at Pearl Academy, how could he not recognize this magic array? This is the high-level Shadow Magic Array, Night's Rule. Under Night's Rule, not only will the power of magic be greatly reduced, but more importantly, those shrouded in the array will find it extremely difficult to escape, as if trapped in a dark maze.

Yu Ang said coldly, "Don't panic. If it were an old guy targeting our academy, he would never trap all the students inside, unless the old guy disregards the lives of the students and lets us harm them."

"Priest, I just learned from a teacher that the school activated the great formation mainly to prevent mass casualties in the chaos. However, the school may have forgotten one thing: our Black Beasts are cursed creatures, and under the rule of the Night Demons, they won't be weakened at all. This will make dealing with that kid much easier for us," said the other boy in the school uniform.

After the Night Domination Array was activated, Jiang Han, who was hiding in the shadows, sent a message to Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting: "Get ready to move. Mo Fan, don't let yourself be caught off guard, hahaha."

"Damn it, nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth," Mo Fan cursed from the tree branch before disappearing into the night.

The bait was already laid; all he and Xu Zhaoting had to do was guard the Shadow Beast and wait for the smaller fish to take the bait.

The Shadow Beast absorbed a drop of the Earthly Sacred Spring separated by the Little Loach. Mo Fan, who had transformed into a shadow, quickly discovered the Shadow Beast's whereabouts based on the Little Loach's guidance. Under the rule of Si Ye, the Shadow Beast evaded the students searching for it in the maze like a fish in the sea.

When Mo Fan found the Shadow Beast by following the little mudfish's guidance, the Shadow Beast was being chased by several Black Beasts as it fled through the maze, with strange sounds coming from the Black Beasts' mouths.

"Coo coo~~~coo coo coo~~~~"

The more the Black Beast cried out, the faster the Shadow Beast ran, because it had a feeling that it would die if those ugly creatures caught it.

"The Black Beast Demon has come out so quickly, which means the rabble that Black Pepper heard about should be coming out soon too," Mo Fan said calmly.

After speaking, a fire-based star map began to form beneath Mo Fan's feet. Then, he swung his fist at the Black Beasts that were chasing the Shadow Beasts. The huge fiery fist burned more than a dozen Black Beasts to ashes on the spot, and the Shadow Beasts took advantage of Mo Fan's killing of the Black Beasts to escape.

Left with no other choice, Mo Fan transformed into a shadow once more to give chase. Under the Night Domination Array, using the Shadow-type Shadow Escape technique was quite convenient.

Besides Mo Fan, another girl named Song Xia, who was Bai Zangfeng's teammate, had also marked the Shadow Beast. Zhuang Lifeng remained relatively calm in the face of the Night Domination Array that enveloped the entire plaza, while Bai Zangfeng and the others were in a panic.

"What is this thing? I can't see any light at all," Bai Zangfeng said in a panic.

Song Xia said, "Don't panic. This array must have been set up by the school in advance. The magic that can suppress our power must be a high-level shadow magic—Night Domination. Night Domination is a very powerful dark magic. It can turn the area it covers into a maze, just like what we're seeing now. In such a maze, the strength of all creatures except dark creatures will be suppressed to a certain extent. I guess the school is afraid that mid-level magic will cause casualties."

Song Xia was quite strong among the freshmen; otherwise, she wouldn't have been invited by Bai Zangfeng, Zhuang Lifeng, and others to join their team.

"Bai Zangfeng, you're supposed to be the eldest son of the Bai family in Shanghai. Haven't you ever seen a high-level Shadow-type Night Domination Array?" Zhuang Lifeng said with interest.

"You're joking, how could I, the dignified young master of the Bai family, not have seen the Night-Ruling Array?" Bai Zangfeng glared at Zhuang Lifeng after recovering from his daze. To change the subject, Bai Zangfeng quickly said, "Song Xia, how are we going to find the Shadow Beast?"

Song Xia smiled and said, "After Mo Fan threw the Shadow Beast to you, I took the opportunity to put a magic mark on it. Just follow me."

"Song Xia, you are incredibly resourceful. If it weren't for you, we would have missed out on the Shadow Beast this time," Bai Zangfeng said with a smile. As long as they found the Shadow Beast and delivered it to the Beast Taming Cage, they would have a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower.

Since Xu Zhaoting hadn't marked the Shadow Beast, he could only lead Zhang Lulu by instinct. After several twists and turns, Xu Zhaoting encountered a student. Just as Zhang Lulu was about to go over and say hello, Xu Zhaoting stopped her.

"Shh~, let's go over there later, this student is acting strangely," Xu Zhaoting whispered.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Lulu saw the student reach out and touch his chest a few times, and six black beast demons appeared behind him. This student was the same guy who had been following Yu Ang earlier. Just as Zhang Lulu was about to exclaim, Xu Zhaoting covered her mouth.

"Who?!" the student said coldly.

Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu did not make any move, and then a man and a woman walked past not far from the student.

The field of vision of people in the Dark Rule is limited, so the student waved to signal the black beast demon behind him to step back in order not to reveal his identity prematurely.

The girl still smiled and said, "Isn't this Senior Li Tong? It's so great to see you."

"So it's you guys. Did you find any trace of the Shadow Beast?" Li Tong said, a fake smile on his face.

"Don't worry, senior. With me here, we'll definitely find the Shadow Beast soon. I'm a mid-level awakened Shadow-type," the boy said with a smile.

"You're a Shadow elementalist? How about we team up?" Li Tong suggested.

If Li Tong can really capture the Shadow Beast, he can not only enter the Three-Step Tower to cultivate, but also get a lot of benefits from Black Pepper. No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation.

"What a bunch of idiots, believing people like that." Jiang Han's figure suddenly appeared from within a wall.

"Who...it's you? Didn't you say you wouldn't participate in the entrance exam?" the Shadow Department boy said angrily.

Jiang Han ignored him and said calmly, "Are you going to continue hiding?"

"What do you mean by that? What am I hiding?" The boy from the Shadow faction was completely bewildered by Jiang Han's words. Little did he know that Li Tong, standing behind him, had instantly turned grim. He had heard of Jiang Han before, but he never expected to run into him here.

"If you want to ruin my plans, you'd better see if you have the ability," Li Tong said coldly.
