Education Department of Shanhaiguan City.

The examination hall.

Everyone stared at the central screen, their faces filled with shock.

I was utterly shocked.

A test taker.

Moreover, this was a candidate I had never heard of before.

They actually managed to defeat Li Tianhao from No. 3 Middle School, a top student who could rank among the top ten in the city?

They even beat up the security guard who came to join the fun?

Holy crap, this young man... even geniuses who have been fighting on the battlefield of all races since childhood might not be as ruthless as you!

......

Director's Office

Zhang Tao remained seated opposite his leader, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Leader: "Zhang Tao, have you heard about Li Nianfan, who was organized by Li Ming a while ago, directly cursing the Education Department as useless at a meeting?"

Zhang Tao: "I'm not high enough in rank, I've only heard about it."

Leader: "There's no secret. The Dawn Organization feels that the students trained at the Evolution University within the country are too weak, and there's a huge gap between them and the geniuses trained on the front lines. They're demanding a redistribution of funding."

Zhang Tao: "I see."

Leader: "In recent years, the students of the three major universities have indeed been inferior to the geniuses on the front lines, especially the Shan Hai Evolution University, which is at the very bottom."

Zhang Tao didn't dare to respond.

A leader can criticize himself, but if he dares to nod in agreement, he's an idiot.

Leader: "This student named He Xie, judging from his appearance, is in no way inferior to those geniuses on the battlefield of ten thousand races. Keeping him in Nanjiang Province is the most important task in your teaching career."

The leader said, "If you stay, I will recommend you first for any good job opportunities in the future."

Leader: "If you don't stay... hehe, I heard the front lines are short-staffed lately, so I can recommend you as well."

Zhang Tao broke out in a cold sweat, his lips trembling as he said, "They will stay, they will definitely stay, Mr. Wu, you can rest assured."

......

Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, in the jungle.

He Xie was debating whether or not to loot the dimensional bags from the group of people on the ground and play the villain for once.

Suddenly, a barrage of notification messages popped up.

[The contrast value from Zhang Haiyan is +9273.]

[Contrast value from Zhu Peishan: +6392.]

[From Zhang Tao...]

Hmm? A contrast value from Zhang Tao?

He Xie paused for a moment, then immediately realized something.

There are cameras in this jungle!

I am now exposed to the eyes of those people in the Education Department!

"What a idiot!"

He Xie kicked He Yongwei, who was on the ground.

Damn it, they can't even properly clean up a security camera, yet they're trying to steal the spoils of war?

He really deserves a beating!

After kicking, he disappeared into the dense foliage with a whoosh.

With cameras, what's the point of searching?

For the next half day, He Xie continued to hunt down the alien races of the prehistoric world.

Wherever they went, the ancient alien races wailed in despair.

In the blink of an eye, the first day of the assessment was over.

Throughout the entire day, apart from running into Chen Yuntong, He Xie didn't see anyone he knew.

It seems that the area of ​​Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is much larger than imagined.

The next morning.

He Xie woke up from a big tree.

Then he found a stream, avoided all the cameras, and took out his toothbrush and toothpaste to brush his teeth.

After washing up, he was worried that the water spirit in his system backpack would suffocate, so he took out the bottle and released it, letting it frolic in the stream.

As for the concern that it might run away, that's simply not true.

After being enslaved by the essence blood, he, as the master, could sense its location at any time through the power of his bloodline.

I opened the contact list and glanced at the real-time points ranking.

......

0001: An Ruoli

School: Shanhai Middle School

Points: 1988

......

0002: Sun Xiaochuan

School: Shanhai No.1 Middle School

Points: 996

......

0003: Lin Qiye

School: Shanhai No.1 Middle School

Points: 886

......

0004: Zhang San Kuang

School: Shanhai No.4 Middle School

Points: 666

......

0005: Chen Yiyu

School: Shanhai No.2 Middle School

Points: 555

......

He Xie glanced at the leaderboard and found that the changes were not significant.

Lin Qiye, who was fourth, has become third.

Chen Yiyu, who was third, has dropped to fifth.

Li Tianhao, who was in fifth place, has dropped to the twentieth rank.

Zhang San squeezed in and ranked fourth.

As for the familiar An Ruoli, she has always held the top spot, unshakable by any force.

"What smells so good?"

Suddenly, He Xie smelled a fruity fragrance.

It smells so good, so irresistible.

It feels like... exotic flowers and fruits?

Realizing this, He Xie immediately took out the bottle, placed it by the stream, and called out, "Shui Shui, come back."

Soon, a crystal-clear, jelly-like substance emerged from the surface of the stream.

This is a water spirit whose body has solidified.

"Master, I want to play more."

Shui Ling didn't want to go into the bottle; she wanted to continue frolicking in the stream.

He Xie wasn't going to tolerate it and immediately urged, "Stop playing around, come in quickly."

"oh."

Shui Ling reluctantly crawled inside.

He Xie put the bottle into his system inventory and then immediately followed the scent of fruit.

At the same time, examinees and security personnel within a ten-mile radius all smelled the pleasant fruity aroma.

The test takers followed the scent of fruit as they walked.

The security personnel, on the other hand, contacted the education department to inform them of the current situation.

They said they smelled a fragrance that resembled exotic flowers and fruits, and saw many test takers already following the scent to search for it.

Upon learning of this, the leaders of the Education Department arranged for several security personnel to carry mobile cameras and secretly follow the candidates to find out what was going on.

......

In a grove of trees.

The two female candidates followed the aroma of fruit and hurried on their way.

"Ruoli, slow down, I can't keep up."

Wen Xiuwen ran very fast, so fast that she was almost out of breath.

However, An Ruoli, who was ahead, did not slow down. She simply said in a cold voice, "If you can't keep up, then take your time. I'll go ahead first, and we'll meet at the source of the fruity aroma later."

After saying that, she accelerated again, leaving Wen Xiuwen far behind.

......

On a certain grassland.

Lin Qiye and Lin Chuchu followed the scent of fruit as they moved forward.

"Brother Qiye, can you run faster? If you run this slowly, someone else will get there first."

As Lin Chuchu ran, she urged Lin Qiye beside her to hurry up.

Lin Qiye said helplessly, "I want to run fast too, but you can't keep up."

Lin Chuchu: "Don't worry about me, you go ahead!"

Lin Qiye: "How can I feel at ease letting a girl like you travel alone?"

Lin Chuchu: "You look down on girls?"

Lin Qiye: "I..."

The punch came rather suddenly, and the young master of the Lin family was stunned.

Lin Chuchu: "Oh dear, hurry up and go! My biological level is as high as the fifth level of ordinary. As long as I'm careful, what could possibly happen?"

Lin Qiye: "It's hard to say."

Lin Chuchu: "You go ahead and make some marks along the way, then I'll just follow the path you took. Is that alright?"

Lin Qiye: "Alright then. If you encounter any danger, remember to call for help from the safety officer immediately. Don't take any risks, understand?"

Lin Chuchu: "I know, I know, you're even more long-winded than Xiaoxiao."

Lin Qiye: "I'm going ahead now. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Lin Qiye quickened his pace, instantly putting distance between himself and Lin Chuchu behind him.

......

On the other side.

He Xie headed north and arrived at a secluded mountain forest.

The vegetation here is more lush than anywhere else.

However, at the same time, there were more test takers here than anywhere else he had ever seen.

Seeing this, he understood.

I'm late.

However, he wasn't in a hurry at all; instead, he was thinking.

If there were truly rare and exotic flowers and fruits in this Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, wouldn't they have been picked by the people from the Education Department long ago?

Is it even the candidates' turn to pick it?

Perhaps this is some kind of luring tactic used by demonic plants?

Thinking about this, He Xie felt it was very likely, and immediately followed the scent deeper into the mountains and forests.

Even without exotic flowers and fruits, it would be good to kill a demonic plant.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

The sound was very soft.

The distance from the sound source is at least one kilometer.

However, He Xie still heard it, and it sounded very familiar.

Does she look like Wen Xiuwen?

He Xie was just about to go over and take a look.

At that moment, another voice came from the other side.

"Ouch...it hurts so much."

That voice... sounds like Lin Chuchu's.

He Xie: "......"

Good heavens, I wandered around all day yesterday and didn't see a single hair.

We ran into two right away.

This is truly... some are drowning in floods, while others are dying of drought.
