The Murters' Chamber of Commerce was located in the south of the imperial city by a wide road. Its position wasn't very good, but it wasn't too bad either.

The Chamber of Commerce's front store mainly dealt with Storm Ocean's speciality magical beast products. At the back of the store was a rather large courtyard, which was more than enough to accommodate the Lin Ke, Lin Ke, and the Sixteen Iron Guards.

"Cohen, we're going to the Fresh Breeze Family's Chamber of Commerce," Donna said in a weird voice. Even after Azure Flower City, she didn't like to talk to Lin Ke.

"Yeah, Cousin Donna should go and settle down first. If there's free time, I'll go there and pay a visit. I'll properly adjust my condition. It's not long before the entrance exams start," Lin Ke said with a smile.

"Mm." Donna nodded, then turned around and left, a little reluctant but firm.

"Cousin Cohen, you should get some rest. I'll be going too." Sam was a reliable child, and was much more stable than Donna.

"Take good care of Donna, you know, she's actually just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet," Rinkey obviously had an angry look on his face when he saw Donna leave, probably blaming him for not urging her to stay. "If there's a problem, you have to inform me immediately.

Sam firmly nodded his head. Although the boy in front of him who had to call him 'uncle' was younger than him, his performance in the Liu City had won him enough respect and trust.

The guards of the Qingfeng clan also went up to greet Lin Ke before leaving.

"Cohen, these Qingfeng guards seem to be very respectful to you." Hubert rubbed his chin in confusion. He obviously wouldn't receive such treatment if he went back to his mother's place.

"Hehe, it's probably because I'm handsome," Lin Ke said impolitely.

Hubert and the door guard rolled their eyes.

At the meeting hall in the company's backyard.

"Let's talk about the entrance exams of the academy," Hubert said with a serious expression. "The entrance exams are always held in three fixed stages each year. The first two matches are in the arena competition. Everyone will have a random match with one opponent. The winner will be eliminated immediately!"

"Losers will be eliminated?" Xue'er cried out in alarm, "Doesn't that mean that it would be better to just forfeit if a first rank bear were to meet a fourth rank bear like Cohen and Lilisse?! It's too unfair! "

"Hehe, it's not that unfair, but it's also not that fair," Hubert laughed and shook his head, "Randomness is also done within the same rank, which means that those of the first rank will not encounter those of the second rank, and those of the fourth rank will not encounter those of the third rank. However, those of the third rank will not have the same talent, so those of the same rank will have bad luck."

"There aren't many Level 4 players every year, are there?" The usually quiet Lilisse suddenly asked.

Yes, "Hubert's expression was a little helpless as he continued," There are only four or five geniuses like you and Cohen who make it to the highest point every year, sometimes not even a single one. Usually, those who can reach the fourth step before the age of eighteen will be able to skip the first round and directly advance into the second round, but you guys might not know this, but this year is a little different. "

Hubert said with a serious expression, "According to reliable news, this year's entrance exams are filled with geniuses, even top talents. The number of Class 4 Magical Beasts who have not reached the age of 18 is actually 18. This kind of flourishing era isn't inferior to the golden generation that had their Saint Knight sire a few hundred years ago, so this year's entrance exams have received a lot of attention. It's said that even the dean of the academy has been alarmed!"

Linke and the others weren't doing much yet. Heller, who was sitting in the seat of honor and quietly listening, suddenly widened his eyes. "The Director of War God Academy?!"

Hubert bowed slightly, then said, "Yes, but these are just rumors. After all, no one knows about the legendary figures like the Headmaster."

The light in Heller's eyes did not fade, and when he looked at Link, it was filled with an indescribable anticipation that made him feel uneasy.

"So you're saying that this year's fourth level has a very high chance of cancelling all the rules for passing the first round? It's also a lot higher than the previous two rounds where three quarters of the examinees have been eliminated?" Lin Ke frowned slightly, "Isn't that a pity?"

The arena is a small battlefield, and the ones who remain are the truly strong ones. What a pity, if the loser is a bit younger, he'll be able to come back a year later. After that, there's no fate with the academy.

Everyone was silent.

Since ancient times, the War God Academy has been the holy land in the eyes of all the cultivators in the War God Empire. God knows how many experts walked out of this place and became the cornerstone of the empire.

But this was the first time everyone knew how difficult it was to enter the Academy of Wargods. Three quarters of the examinees had already died in the first two rounds alone, and you have to know that each of the examinees was the most dazzling star of their respective regions.

After a long while, Link broke the silence and asked Hubert, "Big Cousin, you just said 'reliable information'. Where did this reliable information come from?" Is this information from the academy itself? "

Hubert shook his head, glancing at Elend with some difficulty before gritting his teeth and saying, "No, actually …" "Actually, the news came from a gambling den!"

"What?"

"What!"

The two exclamations had two different meanings.

The first was from Linke, and there was joy in the surprise.

The second sound came from Xue'er, which was filled with surprise and deep worry.

"Young Master Hubert, the news from the gambling den is not reliable," said Xue'er as she glanced at Eeller.

This gambling den is not like any ordinary gambling den, "Hubert said with a wry smile." This gambling den usually doesn't have any gambling houses, only during the entrance exams of the War God Academy, there will be an opening for the examination. Of course, before that, there will be a large number of participants and all kinds of information flowing out.

"The war gambling den," the nonchalant Heller suddenly opened his mouth.

"That's right!" Hubert looked at Elend in pleasant surprise. "Grandpa Seven, I didn't expect you to know about the war gambling den!"

The corners of Heller's mouth twitched, and he said no more.

"Big Cousin, can you tell us more about this war gambling den?" Linke asked, recovering his composure after glancing at Heller.

Everyone knows that the capital has gathered the two most powerful and rich people in the entire empire, and because of the importance of the War God Academy to the entire empire, its entrance exams to a certain extent represent the Empire's future important talent, so every year's entrance exams will become a grand occasion in the imperial capital, the grand event will go back to the surface if these officials and nobles don't get involved, but the gambling house will be different. Everyone will be involved, or at least a few silver coins, or at most several tens of thousands of gold coins.

"That's why the rumors in the academy about the war gambling den are like this. I think that it makes sense, but since the examinees are in trouble as well, because the victor is no longer your own problem, but rather, with so much anticipation and bet behind you, the victor will naturally enjoy the feeling of being enveloped in a halo. The loser …" Of course, there's a difference between a halo and a halo. In the past, people like me, who couldn't carry much money on us, would be fine, but I imagine that you guys are different. "Hubert was somewhat gloating. After all, the greater one's ability, the greater the pressure.

"There's a big secret behind this war gambling den, and it must be controlled by some big shots, but if it's related to War God Academy, then it definitely won't be just a profit. Your grandfather told me about this before," Heller interjected, making Rinkey fall into deep thought.

"Young Master Hubert said that there were three fixed rounds, but he only said that the first two rounds were for the arena battle. He never said what the third round was yet." The one who spoke was Neil, who had never spoken.

Neil, the news about the four of you has continuously spread from the family over the past six months, and it feels a lot more exciting than when I was at the Academy of Wargods. This has caused me to have to diligently train during the summer and not return to the Wind City, aiya, "Hubert sighed with emotion," After the first two rounds, a large portion of the examinees have been sent back to their hometowns. The rest can be said to be elites, but the third time is still the most troublesome time to farm these elites.

"Worship the Sacred Hall?! Go to a place called the Temple and pay respects? " Lin Ke asked with some doubt, "That really doesn't sound difficult."

"Ah, yes, not only is it not difficult, it is even simpler," Hubert said with the same puzzled tone. "Just like what he said, going to the temple and paying his respects before coming out, it is that simple. But the problem is that every year during this process, nearly one half of the people will be eliminated, and the reason is unclear!"

Lin Ke was shocked!

Before this, even when it came to the two battles of the same level, Lin Ke didn't suspect him. However, Hubert's simple third round was like a hammer pounding on his heart, making him a bit nervous for a moment. He definitely had to enter War God Academy, but this third round was a bit too mysterious?

"Big cousin, is this third round really that mystical? If he went in to pay his respects and then came out, a large number of people would be eliminated. Who are the saints worshipped in this temple? " Lin Ke asked three questions in a row, seemingly in a hurry.

"The Temple Reverend is a sage who made great contributions in the history of the Warlord Empire. Some have already passed away, while some are still alive. For example, our legendary Headmaster is one of them," Hubert said confidently.

"As for the sincerity, I don't know. At the very least, I was sincere at the time, but the problem is that other people aren't sincere at first sight, so quite a few were washed away." After all these years of observation, there is a rule that is not always the same. It's just that the higher the strength, the lower the probability of being eliminated in the third round. So, Cohen, you guys don't have to worry too much. "

Link couldn't help but be speechless. From his previous life to his previous life, the things he hated the most were things that kept getting out of his control until they became powerless. For example, this baffling third round of the exam.

Worship the temple.
