To ensure the accuracy of exam point calculation, Longteng Academy has put a lot of effort into inspecting the loot.

They even specially developed a testing instrument for calculating points.

Simply scan the loot submitted by the students in the detector to accurately determine the origin of the loot, as well as the time of acquisition and other information.

at this time.

After the teacher in charge placed each of Lu Yuan's prizes into the testing device, the data displayed on it shocked everyone present.

"These spoils of war are all from Xuanzhen-level demonic beasts? There are even Earth Spirit-level ones?!"

"My God! Earth Spirit level?!"

"If I were to encounter a demonic beast of the Earth Spirit level, I would definitely be eaten on the spot!"

"That's not all! The detector shows that these spoils came from twenty-five different demonic beasts, which means this person killed a full twenty-five demonic beasts of the Xuanzhen level or higher! My goodness, how did a monster appear among our freshmen this year?!"

Wow! This person is amazing!

A chorus of exclamations arose from the surrounding crowd, all marveling at Lu Yuan's astonishing abilities.

A small number of people questioned whether the testing equipment was faulty, but they were quickly proven wrong.

"This testing equipment has been in use for decades and has never made a mistake. On behalf of the school, I can absolutely guarantee the authenticity of the displayed data!"

Xiao Tang, who was the first to remind everyone to check the data from the testing device, stepped forward again.

He glanced at Lu Yuan meaningfully before addressing all the students to explain.

"This spiritual energy detector was specially developed and manufactured by the academy to address the unique characteristics of spiritual energy, and it has different detection methods for different spoils of war."

"The timing of harvesting and obtaining ordinary herbs and ores is estimated by examining the spiritual energy contained within them."

"For spoils like demonic beasts, the target and time of death are determined by the spiritual energy left behind during the battle."

After hearing Xiao Tang's explanation, the few remaining doubts disappeared.

After all, no one who can get into Dragon Academy is a fool; they all have some knowledge of spiritual power and other related matters.

Most people know that the skills used by beast tamers in battle are all transformed from their own spiritual power. Therefore, it is inevitable that the opponent's spiritual power residue can be detected at the wound. The spiritual power detector infers various data by examining the spiritual power residue at the wound.

only.

Lu Yuan hadn't expected that the spiritual energy detector was even more powerful than he had imagined.

Not only did they discover that the spiritual power that killed these monsters all came from the same beast tamer, but they also revealed the race of the Crimson Phosphorus!

"The Burning Candle Dragon?! What kind of race is that?"

"have no idea!"

"I've never even heard of this name!"

After recovering from the shock of the quantity and quality of the spoils, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to the source of the spiritual energy.

Many people looked puzzled when they saw the four characters "Burning Candle Dragon" displayed above.

They had heard of many names for the Jiao race, but never of a race called the Burning Candle Dragon Jiao.

It sounds like a jiao (蛟), but its name contains the character for dragon.

It sounds extraordinary just from that.

A very small number of people were stunned into silence by the name of this race.

"Burning Candle Dragon? That's the name of an extremely high-level race!"

A gasp rang out in the teachers' group, immediately attracting everyone's attention, and someone couldn't wait to ask the question.

"Teacher, teacher, what kind of race is the Burning Candle Dragon?"

Seeing the students' eager eyes, the teacher quietly began to answer.

"The Burning Candle Dragon is an extremely rare, high-level tamed beast. It is the race with the best chance of evolving into a dragon among all dragon species. According to the information in the books, the Burning Candle Dragon's potential and bloodline level start at least at the Heavenly Evolution level, and can even reach the Illusion God level at the highest! Not only that, when the Burning Candle Dragon officially transforms into a dragon, its potential and bloodline level will increase significantly, and reaching the True God level is not a dream!"

After hearing the teacher's explanation, everyone present gasped.

Can it transform into a dragon?!

Could it even become a true god?!

Either of these two points alone is something that would make others envious!

In an instant.

As the person at the center of the incident, Lu Yuan received many envious or jealous glances.

Lu Yuan hadn't expected that simply bringing out this little thing would cause such a huge sensation.

You should know that these were the worst spoils he had carefully selected from his haul; he hadn't brought out any of the really good stuff.

If these people knew that he had killed more than forty demonic beasts on this trip, including a mutated fire rock turtle that had reached the tenth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm, and that he had even figured out the environment created by the Radiant White Tree and obtained the Radiant White Fruit that could only be harvested once every hundred years...

Lu Yuan could already imagine how sensational the scene would be.

For the sake of the teachers' and students' mental health and well-being, he decided not to share these gains.

Judging from the current situation, he's sure to get into the top three based on these spoils alone.

For him, rankings were irrelevant; as long as he could fulfill the conditions set by Rune, that was enough.

However, Lu Yuan ultimately underestimated his own strength and overestimated the abilities of his fellow freshmen.

The final result is...

Lu Yuan achieved a score five times higher than the second-place finisher, successfully securing first place in the freshman exam.

"..."

Looking at the report card that had been handed to him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

unwise!

That was a huge mistake!

He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and complete the task that Rune required him to be in the top three, but how did things turn out like this?

Feeling the burning gaze upon him, Lu Yuan felt like banging his head against a tree!

This year's freshmen are really disappointing!

Could it be that the family planning policy has been effective in recent years, causing Longteng Academy to have difficulty recruiting students, resulting in such poor quality of new students?

Lu Yuan kept complaining to himself.

If other teachers and students heard these words, they would definitely be devastated!

Waaaaah!

They're so weak, I'm so sorry!

...

After the secret realm exam, the teachers organized the students to board the bus again and prepare to return to school.

Apart from Ren Wenzhou and the other two who have been confirmed dead, all other students returned safely to their respective class buses.

However, it happened when boarding the vehicle.

Lu Yuan discovered that a small number of people were injured while fighting the monsters, and some even suffered lifelong disabilities.

However, regarding this...

He had absolutely no sense of compassion.

That's reality, after all.

From the moment these students chose to enter Dragon Academy, field exams became inevitable.

Before enrolling in school, students can grow up slowly in a safe environment, like flowers in a greenhouse.

Then the days to come will be just as Xiao Tang had said before.

Those who refuse to work hard and lack ambition will ultimately face only death!

There's no way around it.

That's just how it is – a world where the strong prey on the weak.

If you want to embark on the path of beast taming, these are all essential lessons you must take.

Even in the future.

Cases like Ren Wenzhou's, where people lose their lives during exams, will become a common occurrence.

This entrance exam for newly enrolled students is a way for everyone to get used to things beforehand.

If you cannot accept this, you should consider other options as soon as possible.

After all, who among those who can enter Dragon Academy doesn't have a fortune waiting to be inherited?

After everyone boarded the bus, the teacher in charge announced that because the exam had ended early due to special circumstances, the students would be given an extra day off after returning home.

Students who would normally be happy to hear about a holiday are not so happy right now.

Whether it was the monster riot or the deaths of Ren Wenzhou and the other two, both cast a significant shadow on their still-developing minds.

In response to this.

Lu Yuan remained expressionless, as usual, sitting in the last row of the bus and closing his eyes to rest as soon as he boarded.

But the situation on the way back was different from when we came.

Because of the sensation Lu Yuan caused during the settlement, he has now become a well-known figure among the freshmen.

Most of the students who had just entered the academy had a strong desire to be strong, and they all tried their best to get close to Lu Yuan, hoping to find out the secret behind his great strength.

Some girls even flirted with him and asked for his contact information.

but.

Lu Yuan dealt with all of these matters indifferently, politely and distantly brushing them off without exception.

Some people were dissatisfied with Lu Yuan's aloof attitude, while others felt that Lu Yuan's arrogant attitude was the mark of a master.

In short, it's a polarization, with both love and hate.

But Lu Yuan didn't care what they thought of him.

After all, he was just there to take an exam and wouldn't have much interaction with these students in the future. No matter how they viewed him, it didn't matter to him.

As long as he can consistently maintain his grades in the top three of his grade in every exam until he successfully obtains his graduation certificate from Longteng Academy, then his mission will be complete.

...

It was evening.

The buses carrying the new students gradually returned to Longteng College.

The teacher announced that the new students' secret realm exam had officially ended, and the final rankings would be announced the morning after tomorrow.

In addition, the school will offer other extra rewards for the top three freshmen, so please stay tuned.

However, most students were not interested in the rankings and rewards mentioned by the teachers.

With Lu Yuan's exceptionally high score, first place is undoubtedly his.

The second and third place finishers were basically a foregone conclusion, having no connection whatsoever with them.

therefore.

Most students were just thinking about going home to wash up and go to sleep; they didn't want to waste any more time listening to the teacher's empty promises.

As a man of action, Lu Yuan had already found an opportunity to sneak away the moment he got off the bus.

By the time the teacher finished his eloquent speech, he had already taken a car back to the hotel and fallen asleep as soon as he got into bed.

As a result, Luo Yueyi wanted to invite him home for dinner, but she couldn't even catch a glimpse of him.

In the end, he could only go home quietly.

but.

She needed to think carefully about how to tell Luo Jing about Luo Fang's death in the Fire Forest Secret Realm when she got home.
