The pitch-black gate slowly opened towards both sides, and the students gathered in the assessment area were all peering outside. Over the past two days, the examiners' attitudes had brought their curiosity to its peak.

With such a mysterious demeanor, it was practically a blatant indication to these examinees that there was an enormous secret beyond the black gate.

However, when the black gate actually opened, every student looking outside wore a slightly astonished expression. The reason was simple: beyond the black gate lay an endless night.

Indeed, night—dark and boundless, where one couldn't see their hand in front of them, covered the area beyond the black gate.

The black gate served as a dividing line, splitting the entire Second Realm into two worlds as if.

Inside the gate in the assessment area, it was blue sky and white clouds, with the bright sun high above. Outside the gate, the night lay endlessly, with a faint moon hanging from the sky, resembling an eternally silent night.

All the students, witnessing this miraculous yet bizarre scene, showed some cautiousness. Since they had been selected for the general assessment, they were at least considered geniuses.

Thus, each one of them had an extremely keen sense. Looking out into the Eternal Night, every one of them instinctively felt slightly uncomfortable, as if something was watching them.

The night seemed like an evil god at the edge of the abyss, with gaping jaws waiting to capture them.

The students couldn't help but start whispering among themselves, their fragmented conversations spreading throughout the assessment area. Standing on the podium, the instructors did not interrupt but sat silently.

"This is different from the information we received!"

"Yeah, what's going on? My family's information can't be wrong, can it?"

"Forget it, what nonsense information, brother. Haven't you figured it out yet? If the information were useful, how come the promised technique and physical assessments turned into a night raid?"

"The martial assessment on Ancestor Star is indeed interesting..."

"It's reasonable enough since this ancestral star's martial assessment is related to..."

A student stopped mid-sentence, seemingly aware of something. But when his gaze swept over the foreign Divine Sons standing to one side, he closed his mouth and gave an exaggerated eye roll.

"Damn it, those bastards coming to Ancestor Star of the Human Race to leech off opportunities, even if Douluo Palace really opens, it won't be your group's turn, you weird-looking things!"

He cursed inwardly.

Unfortunately, he lacked the strength. Otherwise, the first thing he'd do was take down that group of foreign Divine Sons.

Subsequently, he gazed with admiration at the forefront position among all students, where three or four young people stood side by side.

The youth in the middle gazed indifferently at the Eternal Night beyond the black gate.

There was no panic or astonishment like other examinees in him, only a confidence emanating from within, as if just by standing there, he could support the heavens, even if the sky were to hang upside down!

Many carried such admiring gazes, all directed at that youth at the very front of the crowd.

"Wow, Tu Shen is doing well, becoming the idol of the people, huh."

Feng jested to Su Tu.

Hearing this, Su Tu could only smile wryly, never expecting that last time on Heaven-Ascending Ladder to have such an impact. These days, whenever Su Tu went out, examinees would generally greet Su Tu and address him as Tu Shen.

Honestly, hearing such a title online was one thing; having it used in real life made Su Tu's scalp tingle with awkwardness.

However, the current psychological state of these students is understandable. During the climb of the Celestial Ladder, all Human Race examinees were suppressed by the foreign Divine Sons. Jiu Hua's silhouette weighed down on every examinee, making it hard to breathe.

What a humiliation it would be to have foreigners reach the peak on one's homeland!!

Yet, the Heart and Spirit of the Human Race is inherently weak, an innate flaw that cannot be changed, while Jiu Hua was born as a favored child of Heart and Spirit. Under such circumstances, despite their unwillingness or anger, they could only stand at the bottom of the ladder, gazing up at the foreign ascent.

At such a time, Su Tu appeared. He stepped onto the Celestial Ladder, and under the gaze of all examinees, he ascended step by step, reaching the top of the Celestial Ladder, surpassing the Divine Sons!!

It wasn't just a manifestation of talent; it elevated the morale of all examinees immeasurably!!

Thus, Su Tu's prestige among the examinees had reached an extremely exaggerated level. Additionally, many people discovered that Su Tu had once served as a Gatekeeper on Celestial City Star, possessing astounding combat power.

Su Tu jumped directly to become an idol in the hearts of more than half the examinees.

"Honestly, I'm really not used to this..."

Luo Fan said quietly from the side. Now, surrounded by a throng of examinees, the others seemed at ease, but he felt like a husky who mistakenly wandered into a wolf pack, completely at a loss.

Just look at the people around him—the Martial Champion Scholar Feng, the genuine list prodigy Beimen Bugui, the fourth on the preliminary list Beimen Jietian, the preliminary list prodigy Zhao Budian, the incredible sun Mu Wuyang.

Mixed among them, Luo Fan now found himself the subject of admiring and speculative glances. Many even speculated that he was a hidden cultivation prodigy.

But Luo Fan knew there was nothing hidden about him. He was just an ordinary Martial Artist from Mingtiao, without even unlocking his Body Opening Lock...

"Hehe, why is everyone looking at me that way? Do they also think that our Ancestor Star's prodigies are the strongest!!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Fan couldn't help glancing over, noticing a blond youth beside him. Oh, apparently not everyone was as self-aware as he was...
