The 25th of June arrived in the blink of an eye, the day for the higher education institutions’ entrance exams.

In the morning, it was the War Academy’s exam.

War first, then Civilization. The Internal Affairs and Research Academies’ exams were on the 26th. These two were relatively easier, and most students only applied as a last resort.

…

The exam venue was at Nanyuan Academy.

Early in the morning, the area around the academy was already packed. The City Guard, Wind Catchers, and Dragon Martial Guard were all mobilized, and Nanyuan Academy was under lockdown.

Thousands of students were participating in the exam. These people were the future of Nanyuan, and Nanyuan took it very seriously. Coupled with the recent attack by the Myriad Clan Sect, Nanyuan couldn’t afford to be careless.

Su Yu and Chen Hao arrived together. When they arrived, many parents were waiting outside the academy.

The roads in and out of the academy were almost blocked with vehicles.

Su Yu even saw Chen Hao’s father directing traffic at the Traffic Supervision Office.

At the academy gate, some unfamiliar staff members checked Su Yu’s and Chen Hao’s student ID and identification before allowing them to enter the academy.

“Yu, do you think I’ll fail the exam?”

Chen Hao asked nervously, repeatedly.

Su Yu sighed, “If you can’t get in with Origin Opening Stage Five, few people in Nanyuan can.”

“But Origin Opening Stage Five doesn’t guarantee you’ll get in.”

“Damn it!”

Su Yu cursed inwardly. It wasn’t like no one at Origin Opening Stage Five failed, but this guy insisted on imagining himself as one of those people. What could he do?

The two walked towards the exam hall, encountering many classmates along the way.

Of course, most of them were strangers.

There were not only students from Nanyuan Academy, but also from other academies in Nanyuan, as well as many outsiders.

Outsiders were relatively easy to identify. Nanyuan students usually wore the academy uniform, while outsiders mostly wore their own clothes, which were more glamorous, or fashionable, at least much better-looking than the ones worn in Nanyuan.

These outsiders looked serious and mostly traveled alone, not bothering to look at the Nanyuan students.

Even when some Nanyuan students looked at them with hostility, they ignored them.

They didn’t care about that at all and didn’t consider the Nanyuan students as rivals.

…

Outside the academy exam hall.

Several young students gathered together, men and women.

It seemed they had just met. Most of the other outside students were unfamiliar with each other, but these few seemed to know each other.

In the center of the group, a girl with her long hair tied up, tall and with a cold expression.

The people around her were handsome men and beautiful women.

At a glance, they stood out from the rest.

In the distance, people who knew them were pointing and whispering, as if discussing something.

The group ignored them. They seemed a little awkward and unsure what to say.

After a long time, a cheerful boy smiled and said, “Everyone’s here, what a coincidence!”

“Yeah, quite a coincidence. I thought you guys were at Great Xia Prefecture!”

“None of you were confident about getting in at Great Xia Prefecture, I thought I was the only one without confidence.”

“…”

Someone started, and soon everyone was chatting.

The girl in the center frowned and, after they had talked for a while, said impatiently, “What are you all pretending for! Even in Great Xia Prefecture, we’d be guaranteed to get in! Everyone came here for the same reason, it’s not like no one knows!”

After all, they were young and not as worldly.

After a moment, another boy said awkwardly, “I didn’t want to come to Nanyuan for the exam. It’s embarrassing if I get in. It was my second uncle who insisted I come here to see that Su Yu, because Assistant Instructor Bai suddenly wants to take him as a student…”

As soon as he said that, everyone’s eyes changed, and many looked at the ponytail girl, “Wu Lan, are you here for the same reason? Your overall score was above average, and now it’s probably top-notch, do you even need to come?”

Wu Lan’s face turned cold, “I also want to see how good this Su Yu is! So good that Assistant Instructor Bai Feng said at the admissions office that Wu Lan is nothing!”

Wu Qi’s sister!

When Liu Hong recommended her to Bai Feng as a student that day, Bai Feng looked disdainful. Wu Qi didn’t care, but when the news spread, it was a blow to Wu Lan.

It was not only a blow, but it also made the young girl feel ashamed.

It would have been fine if Bai Feng hadn’t said anything, but he insisted on saying he didn’t care, that above average was nothing. These words made the person involved feel extremely embarrassed.

Her purpose here was different from the others.

These people still had some luck in mind. If they were much better than Su Yu, would Bai Feng take them as students?

But Wu Lan didn’t think that way. She just wanted to show Bai Feng how trash his student was!

Completely unworthy of being compared to her, Wu Lan!

It wasn’t that Bai Feng didn’t want to take her, Wu Lan, as a student, but that she didn’t even look up to Bai Feng, a research assistant. If it weren’t for Bai Feng’s teacher, a research assistant wouldn’t be anything in the academy.

Her sister was one, and closer to becoming a formal researcher than Bai Feng.

Now that the topic was open, everyone stopped hiding. Someone whispered, “He applied for the exams of two academies. The War Academy is probably just a formality. The main thing is the Civilization Academy exam in the afternoon. Do you think he’s learned how to outline divine runes?”

“Him?”

Someone laughed, “It’s not that I look down on him, but he’s a Nanyuan student. Not to mention anything else, how many articles on the Writing of Will has he read? How high can his Willpower Accumulation be? Outlining divine runes? He doesn’t even know what divine runes are.”

The crowd started discussing, and Wu Lan said impatiently, “We’re not competing with him!”

Although they came to Nanyuan, they weren’t actually comparing themselves to Su Yu. The real competition was with Bai Feng.

Although everyone had different goals, they were generally aligned: to let Bai Feng know that the student he took was really trash, too bad, and embarrassing to take in.
If they don’t come, the other side might just snag first place in Nan Yuan, which would look good for them.

If they do come, forget about first place, they wouldn’t even make the top ten, and the difference between them and first place would be like heaven and earth.

Therefore, whether it’s to antagonize Bai Feng or to dissuade him from his intentions, this is an opportunity.

Just then, someone spotted Chen Hao and Su Yu over there and said uncertainly, “Is that him?”

Everyone looked over. They had seen some information about Su Yu before, and someone quickly confirmed, “It’s him!”

“Should we go talk to him?”

“No, it’s pointless!”

Someone refused, having no interest in talking to Su Yu. However, observing him was essential.

Talking would be meaningless!

Su Yu couldn’t change anything. Whether Bai Feng accepts a disciple or not, Su Yu has no say.

These people aren’t stupid. Their goal is to perform better than Su Yu and see if they can catch Bai Feng’s eye, not to befriend Su Yu.

The next moment, someone else said, “He’s not very worldly and thinks Nan Yuan is the be-all and end-all. Should we knock him down a peg, let him know how weak he is, so he’ll give up on going to the Civilization Academy?”

“Then you go try!”

The others ignored him. Everyone is being evaluated according to the rules. If Su Yu feels inferior due to his test scores, that’s Su Yu’s problem.

To go out of their way to undermine Su Yu, do they really think Bai Feng is dead?

Or that Liu Wenyan wouldn’t get angry?

Their goal isn’t to make Su Yu feel inferior; that serves no purpose. It would only provoke the animosity of several civilization masters, offering no benefits.

They are all prospective Civilization Academy students. Anyone without brains would have been eliminated long ago.

The guy who suggested that probably doesn’t have good intentions either.

The proposer continued, “So, we just watch him here? The data says he’s in the fifth level of the Kaiyuan realm. How about we use our will to intimidate him so he doesn’t perform well later and messes up the War Academy assessment too?”

“You go!”

Suddenly, Wu Lan coldly said from the crowd, “You go try it! Don’t just talk the talk! If you think Teaching Assistant Liu Hong can guarantee your safety, then go! If you dare to instigate again, believe me, even if I don’t take the test this year, I’ll make sure you never have the chance to take it again!”

Upon hearing this, the male student who spoke earlier’s expression changed, and he denied, “Wu Lan, I’m not familiar with Teaching Assistant Liu Hong. Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Yes, I was just talking nonsense!”

Wu Lan snorted, “I was just trying to trick you! Liu Hong and Bai Feng are competing fairly, within the rules. You’re trying to break the rules now, trying to cover up your tracks and shift the blame! No matter who sent you, it’s definitely not Liu Hong. Stop treating everyone else like idiots!”

Beside them, a male student chuckled, “Maybe he’s from the Ten Thousand Races Cult! These people love to stir things up at times like this, thinking everyone else is stupid, trying to make Assistant Bai Feng and Assistant Liu Hong fight each other? If he’s not from the Ten Thousand Races Cult, he’s from one of the other teaching assistants. Shut up!”

“If you dare say another word, we’ll have the Dragon Martial Guards investigate you. We don’t believe we can’t uncover everything. We’ll remember you!”

“…”

The proposer’s expression changed again, and after a long while, he said, “I’m not from the Ten Thousand Races Cult. If you don’t believe me, I can curse all the gods, demons, and ten thousand races. Don’t frame me. Reducing competitors isn’t done this way. Slander carries responsibility!”

The others ignored him. Whether he’s from the Ten Thousand Races Cult or not, it doesn’t really matter.

People from the Ten Thousand Races Cult wouldn’t dare to show their faces casually. If they did, what’s an Kaiyuan realm cultivator?

…………

As they were discussing, Su Yu, who was not far away, seemed to feel that he was being watched.

He turned his head and glanced in that direction. Those people were well-dressed, clearly outsiders.

They were sizing him up. Su Yu glanced around, continued walking, and those people’s gazes followed him. Su Yu was certain that they were looking at him, though he couldn’t rule out Chen Hao.

However, the possibility of it being Chen Hao was too small. They were most likely looking at him.

“Did I provoke them on Bai Feng’s side?”

“Or did the news of me helping to kill Wanshi leak out?”

Su Yu judged, but wasn’t too sure.

Su Yu ignored them and acted as if he didn’t see them.

Just then, a man came out of the exam building and shouted, “Line up to enter. The exam venue is divided into five floors, from the first to the fifth floor! Enter the exam rooms in order according to the exam numbers you received earlier!”

“No one is allowed to leave until the exam is over!”

“No one is allowed to cheat. If cheating is discovered, you will be banned from all universities for life!”

“Enter the exam room and maintain order. Those who disrupt the order will have their exam qualifications revoked and will not be allowed to take the exam again for three years!”

“Students who score above 200 points will be notified of their acceptance on the spot. Those who score below 200 points will wait for notification!”

“Students who will be participating in the Civilization Academy exam in the afternoon should allocate their physical and mental energy rationally. Otherwise, if you delay the afternoon exam and fail the War Academy exam, you will be responsible for your own consequences!”

The man announced a series of rules and regulations, and soon, the city guards at the gate began to let people in.

Su Yu looked at the exam number he received: 5-101.

Exam room on the 5th floor, number 101.

That fellow Chen Hao isn’t with him; his exam room is on the third floor.

Chen Hao looked nervous at this time and looked at Su Yu, whispering, “Ayu, we’re not on the same floor, what should we do?”

“Are you planning to cheat?”

Little master, there are more chapters after this one, please click on the next page to continue reading, there’s more excitement ahead!

Su Yu said unhappily, “Take the exam seriously, what’s the big deal? You’re nervous about an exam, do you expect to go to the battlefield of the heavens? Wouldn’t you be so scared that you’d pee your pants?”

Su Yu said, in a low voice, “We’ve even killed ten thousand catties, this exam isn’t asking you to kill anyone, what are you afraid of?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao thought for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that’s right.

I’m also someone who has done big things!

Do I need to be afraid of an exam?

…………

Students gradually began to enter the exam rooms.

Exam Room No. 5.

Five examiners.

The War Academy exam has examiners from the Great Xia War Academy, the Dragon Martial War Academy, and the Yuqiang Bureau, one from each. There is also one person sent by the local government, Nan Yuan City, to supervise.

Finally, there was also one person from the military, not from the Dragon Martial Guard, but from the front-line Demon Suppression Army, who was there to supervise.

The Demon Suppression Army also had a small garrison in Great Xia Prefecture, mainly responsible for recruiting soldiers.

After the academy assessment, some people couldn’t get into the academy, or didn’t want to. Afterward, the Demon Suppression Army would also issue invitations to recruit soldiers.

At exam hall No. 5, the five examiners were already in place.

The representative from the Dragon Martial Academy was none other than Old Xie.

The representative from the Great Xia War Academy was a young man. After the examiners were in place, the young man asked with some puzzlement, “Instructor Xie, aren’t you responsible for supervising the five exam halls and being part of the supervision team? Why are you here?”

In addition to the on-site examiners, there was also a supervision team in the exam hall, responsible for resolving disputes and supervising the examiners and the exam hall.

Old Xie was the leader of this team, and in theory, he should be in the supervision team.

Old Xie said with a smile, “I’m getting old, it’s too tiring to run back and forth, let others go, I’ll be fine here!”

The young man was too lazy to ask more questions, it was all the same who supervised.

The representative from the Yuqiang Department was a middle-aged woman, unfamiliar to everyone, and there was no communication.

The representative from Nan Yuan was the deputy commander of the City Guard, also a Myriad Stone Realm cultivator, but much weaker compared to Old Xie’s Soaring Sky Realm, so he kept a low profile and remained silent.

The soldier from the Demon Suppression Army didn’t communicate with anyone else, making the exam hall seem quiet.

Old Xie looked around, smiled, and stopped talking.

Everyone was actually in a competitive relationship, and would inevitably compete for good talents.

It wasn’t easy for the Dragon Martial Academy to get such a spot. In the past, the Dragon Martial Academy wasn’t qualified to send anyone to supervise such assessments, so good talents were ultimately taken away by the Great Xia War Academy.

However, since the Prefect had given them some special help ten years ago and got them a supervision right, they were now qualified to compete for some good talents at the first opportunity.

After waiting for a while, Old Xie said, “If everyone has no other questions, shall we officially start the assessment?”

“Let’s begin!”

“No objections!”

“…”

Several people spoke up. Old Xie looked at the City Guard at the entrance of the exam hall and said, “Let them in, students enter the exam hall!”

The City Guard guarding the door responded, and soon, the door opened.

The students outside entered the exam hall one after another.

Su Yu was among them, looking up at the inside. This building was not usually open to the public, and it was his first time here. He could tell at a glance that it was different from other teaching buildings. The entire floor was empty, just one large space.

This was specially used for student assessments.

Five exam halls, each with about six or seven hundred people, were assessed together, not in batches, so it was very fast, and could be completed in one morning.

“Students, find your seat number and take your seat!”

“No noise is allowed in the exam hall!”

“The content of the assessment must not be leaked!”

“Remember, allocate your time reasonably, allocate your energy and physical strength reasonably!”

“On the battlefield, analysis and decision-making are also abilities. The War Academy does not train mindless brutes!”

The young man from the Great Xia War Academy was speaking. He said solemnly, “You have seen the assessment process, but that is only the general content. It does not mean that if you are at the sixth level of the Opening Origin Realm, you will definitely get 120 points. Whether you can get it depends on your own decisions and abilities!”

“There are also differences between Opening Origin Realm cultivators!”

“Even at the same realm, it’s not impossible for someone at the sixth level of Opening Origin Realm to be inferior to someone at the third level!”

“We will only choose the most outstanding talents to enter the War Academy for training, others… fend for yourselves!”

Below, the students who were finding their seats suddenly became nervous.

They had actually heard some rumors that the assessment mainly looked at strength and knowledge reserves, but the specific content of the assessment was sometimes different. Some people at the fourth or fifth level of Opening Origin Realm ended up with very low assessment scores.

“The assessment time is a total of 4 hours, starting promptly at 8 o’clock and ending promptly at 12 o’clock!”

“Remember, allocate your time, your energy, and your physical strength reasonably!”

This was the examiner’s repeated reminder!

Su Yu’s eyes moved slightly. Reasonable allocation of time and energy was not the first time he had heard it, he had heard it several times.

Below, someone among the students whispered, “Isn’t it just a matter of choice? Why repeat it so many times? It’s not like we don’t know…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Xie’s eyes instantly turned cold, “Take him out, put him in solitary confinement, release him after 4 hours!”

As soon as he finished speaking, two City Guards walked directly towards that person, and in that student’s daze, they escorted him out of the exam hall.

“I… I didn’t say anything… I didn’t say anything…”

“Teacher, give me another chance!”

Old Xie ignored him and said calmly, “No noise allowed, raise your hand if you have any questions, obey orders, this is the War Academy, we don’t want to say it a second time! If you were on the battlefield, would you be like this? Five years of study in a secondary academy, haven’t you learned to follow the rules?”

“On the battlefield, ambushes and ambushes often happen. Comrades are by your side, and if you are told to shut up, you have to talk, the possible consequence is the annihilation of a team or even an army, who will give you a second chance?”

“You are academy personnel, not idlers, remember, follow the rules!”

Old Xie used a chicken to warn the monkeys, and instantly, the exam hall quieted down.

However, Su Yu and several students in the exam hall had strange expressions on their faces.

Just now… was that a fake student?

Deliberately arranged to scare the students?

Most of the students didn’t notice the anomaly, but Su Yu felt something was wrong. When that student was escorted out, he seemed nervous, but in reality, he felt a little indifferent.

It was like he had completed a mission, and finally didn’t have to endure being here with the others anymore…

Su Yu was a little dumbfounded, even something like this happened in the exam hall, but I have to say, the effect was really good, now the exam hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
