Three days later.

early morning.

Su Chen said goodbye to Yu Mo and Qiao Yue, and headed to the City of Dawn with Ankang.

The road to the City of Dawn is not easy to walk, and there is a high possibility of encountering strange beasts on the way.

Ankang did not drive, but drove Su Chen on a motorcycle along the route in his mind.

Su Chen had never walked this route before, and the unknown and dark areas of the map mode became wider and wider along the way.

The motorcycle driven by Ankang has been precisely modified.

Not only does it enhance power, it also reduces the noise generated during driving.

One hour later.

Arrive near the City of Dawn.

Along the way, we encountered many strange beasts, but none of them went beyond the third realm.

This group of low-level alien beasts couldn't catch up with the motorcycle, and they were left behind within a few seconds.

"How far is it?"

"Ten kilometers, the rest of the road is a secret passage. Motorcycles cannot be used and no sound can be made."

As he spoke, Ankang opened the lawn, revealing a round stone plate.

Ankang pushed gently, and the stone plate made a soft sound as it moved, revealing the dark stone steps.

"Ten kilometers of secret passage!"

"Well, if you have any questions, ask now. I'm in a secret passage and can't speak."

"Why can't you speak?"

"There is very likely to be a top-notch beast at the top of the secret passage. Any slight noise may reveal the location."

"Is this secret passage safe?"

When Ankang said this, Su Chen felt very unreliable.

"It's safe. The secret passage is blessed by a formation, which will isolate the smell and small energy fluctuations. Once the secret passage is discovered by a strange beast, 90% of the formation will be destroyed."

"The current formation is in good condition, which means this secret passage is safe."

"The more you ask, the less reliable it becomes. I won't ask anymore and just go ahead."

"good."

Ankang hid the motorcycle, closed the stone plate, leaving a gap, and pulled the filaments of artificial turf to cover the top of the stone plate.

In order to ensure that the sound does not spread, after covering the lawn, Ankang moved the stone plate to cover the last gap.

As the stone plate is covered tightly, the dark passage automatically lights up.

Su Chen didn't ask any questions.

Looking at the two rows of weak lights, he probably understood what was going on.

The underground passage leads directly to the end point with no forks in the middle.

Su Chen followed Ankang straight ahead, and it didn't take long before he reached the end of the passage.

There is a blue film at the end of the channel, which isolates the entire channel from top to bottom.

This layer of blue film that exudes a faint light is a defensive barrier covering the entire City of Dawn.

The City of Dawn is able to resist an army of millions of alien beasts, and this layer of enchantment plays an important role.

Ankang made a gesture and told Su Chen not to reach out and touch the blue film.

Su Chen had heard about the defensive barrier in the City of Dawn, so naturally he would not reach out to touch it to avoid energy backlash.

Ankang reached out and pressed the stone wall next to the barrier.

There is an exquisite mechanism on the stone wall.

As Ankang pressed down, the hard stone wall sunk inwards.

Su Chen stared at the blue barrier and didn't notice any changes.

Su Chen waited for a long time. The blue barrier suddenly flickered, and then a figure appeared in Su Chen's sight.

This layer of barrier can not only isolate energy, but also isolate vision and sound.

Su Chen followed Ankang into the inner boundary.

As Su Chen stepped into the barrier, the barrier that disappeared behind him reappeared.

"What happened this time?"

The lead person who opened the barrier for Ankang asked.

"This is a recommendation sheet."

Ankang handed the three recommendation slips to the receptionist in white robes.

The man in white robe opened his hood and took the recommendation form with both hands.

"I remember that Tianzi No. 3 Fortress has not provided a recommendation list for more than ten years, right?"

"Twelve years."

The middle-aged man in white robe looked at Su Chen carefully.

"Is it him?"

"Yes."

"Why not recommend Edsin? He has a higher success rate."

Edsin is an insider at Twilight Corporation.

Apart from the heads of the three major families, he is the only one who knows the secret passage to the City of Dawn.

The middle-aged man in white robe had met Edxin several times.

From his point of view, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that Su Chen's potential was better than that of Edxin.

"He is more amazing than Edison. You will understand when the time comes."

"It's a coincidence that you are here. The latest interview is tomorrow. A thousand people are competing for ten places. I hope your vision is not wrong."

"A thousand people?"

Su Chen didn't think there were so many recognized human fortresses near the City of Dawn.

"The policy changed last year. Your external personnel will participate in the interview together with internal personnel. The difficulty will be greatly increased. I wish you good luck."

Tianzi No. 3 Fortress has not recommended a genius for more than ten years, so naturally it is unclear about the changes.

In the past, interviews were conducted on a one-on-one basis. If you pass the test, you can enter the City of Dawn. If you fail, you will be sent back to the Fortress of Humanity.

It's different now, the elimination system is adopted.

Even if you are excellent, you must be in the top ten to be qualified.

The difficulty factor has doubled several times.

You must know that the forces behind the contestants within the City of Dawn cannot be underestimated. Basically, they are all lacking in resources, and their talents are not likely to be poor.

If you want to stand out among a thousand geniuses, you can only be a genius among geniuses.

The relationship between the middle-aged man in white robe and Ankang is not bad.

Although he was not optimistic about Su Chen, he still completed the procedures for Su Chen to enter the City of Dawn as quickly as possible.

After completing the temporary procedures for entering the City of Dawn, the middle-aged man in white robe waved his hand to Ankang and left.

"What's your relationship with him?"

Ankang has been running Tianzi No. 3 Fortress for many years and rarely comes to the City of Dawn. Su Chen doesn't quite understand what the relationship between the two is.

"My former subordinate, I spent a lot of money and relied on many connections to get him in."

"I thought he was very talented and could become a transcendent within three years. I didn't expect that fifteen years later, he would still be in the seventh realm."

I've been doing it for a long time and it's one of my own, no wonder I have such a good attitude.

"Come with me, I'm quite familiar with the outer city of Dawn City."

Su Chen followed Ankang's footsteps.

"The City of Dawn is divided into an outer city and an inner city?"

"The City of Dawn has a total of five areas, namely the outer city area, the inner city area, the noble area, the extraordinary area, and the imperial city area."

"There are still nobles and emperors in the City of Dawn?"

"some."

"Can the emperor control the people below?"
