"boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The towering tree, resurrected a second time, unleashed a torrent of lightning upon the surrounding crowd.

These lightning bolts have a very short range, only able to strike targets within a hundred meters of themselves.

Therefore, the only ones who would suffer were the night watchmen, the security guards, and the two leaders from the Department of Education who remained in place to fight against the towering tree.

As for the test takers, they've long since disappeared.

They all retreated to the edge of the basin, watching in shock what was unfolding inside.

"ah!"

Another safety officer was struck by lightning.

He collapsed to the ground instantly, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

Then his eyes rolled back and he completely fainted.

"What powerful lightning!"

He Xie watched the battle from the sidelines and was deeply shocked by the power of the lightning strike.

How can a tree generate electricity?

Has it turned into a demonic plant?

Thinking it over, he used up one "Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy" card.

Try to peek into the bio-information panel of the old man named Diurei.

However, the result remained the same: the target showed no signs of life, making it impossible to use the Know Your Enemy Card.

"The old tree's shell..."

Just as he was wondering, He Xie heard a murmur in his ear.

He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was An Ruoli, who was about ten meters away, muttering to herself.

At this moment, An Ruoli looked somewhat bewildered.

He just stood there, motionless, looking up slightly at Diulei Laomu not far ahead.

He would occasionally mutter words that were incomprehensible to others.

"The old tree's shell?"

"You mean that towering tree in front?"

He Xie frowned, then walked over to An Ruoli and stopped, asking, "What tree elder's body?"

As soon as the words fell, An Ruoli trembled.

It seemed that they were startled by the sudden sound.

Then, she looked at He Xie with a blank expression and asked in confusion, "What tree trunk?"

What's wrong with this woman?

Playing dumb?

But he seemed genuinely confused and bewildered, not faking it.

He Xie was puzzled, then said, "You kept muttering about the old tree's body."

"Is there?"

An Ruoli frowned slightly, lowered her head to recall, and found that she couldn't remember anything and didn't know what she had just said.

It's as if he just fell asleep.

Seeing that An Ruoli was not in a good state, He Xie decided not to waste any more time on her.

He raised the Soul-Slaying Blade and charged towards the old man named Diulei with a whoosh.

I joined the battle as a test taker.

This is a rare opportunity to gain experience.

Make the most of it to enhance your practical experience.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

As soon as He Xie joined the battle, several bolts of lightning shot towards him.

Fortunately, he was agile and dodged them all without any trouble.

Many night watchmen and security personnel were secretly shocked upon seeing this; this examinee was simply too amazing.

"Quickly! Everyone, get back!"

Li Qingteng, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Diule Laomu and was the leader of the Night Watch, suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs to the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately and quickly retreated.

Seeing this, He Xie quickly moved away as well.

Soon, Li Qingteng's belly swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The clothes covering it suddenly burst into flames, revealing a bright red, swollen belly.

He Xie knew what this was; it was a biological skill—cremation!

This was what he had seen when he peeked at Li Qingteng's biometrics panel.

The head of the Night Watch is a transplant recipient!

"Buzz—"

Li Qingteng spat out a terrifying black fireball, which shot rapidly toward Diulei Laomu in front of him.

Wherever it passed, the air was burned into a vacuum.

The next moment, a loud bang was heard.

The old tree that had just been continuously giving people electric shocks was suddenly engulfed in flames, emitting a strong smell of burning.

"Wow--"

Upon seeing this, a gasp of surprise came from the edge of the basin.

Everyone was amazed; the leader of the Night Watch in Shanhai City was incredibly powerful.

With a single fireball, the helpless old man, Lei Laomu, was reduced to charcoal.

No wonder he's a rare transplant recipient.

Their strength was so great that they, as test takers, could only look on in awe.

Soon, Zhang Tao, Wu Lao, the night watchmen, and the security guards all stepped forward to flatter Li Qingteng, showering him with compliments.

He Xie was filled with curiosity about what that black fireball was made of.

How can it be so intense?

It looks only the size of a palm, yet it can instantly burn towering trees tens of meters tall to ashes.

The speed at which it burns is simply incredible.

After dealing with Diule and Laomu.

Accompanied by Zhang Tao and Old Wu, Li Qingteng quickly led a group of Night Watchmen away from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Afterwards, Zhang Tao and Old Wu returned and, together with several junior leaders from the Education Department, began searching for Su Jiu'er all over the mountains and fields.

Meanwhile, the students from the mountains took the exam as usual.

The test... went a little strange.

Because over 90% of the ancient alien races in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were harvested by He Xie using the Ten Thousand Beasts Lure.

The entire mountain was eerily quiet.

Gradually, the candidates split into two camps.

One group consists of students whose academic performance is not very good, and who are unlikely to survive in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Now that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is safe, they are overjoyed.

One group consists of students with excellent grades who dream of showcasing their skills in real-world assessments, defeating one ancient alien race with a single punch, thereby winning the favor of admissions officers from various universities.

Now, things are really messed up. Almost all the ancient alien races in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain are dead, and they have nowhere to use their skills. They feel like they're about to go numb.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining six days passed by.

He Xie only took out a small portion of the corpses of the ancient alien races, and unsurprisingly, he topped the list.

Next, Lin Chuchu is second, Zhang Kaizi is third, and An Ruoli is fourth.

The remaining candidates are the top scorers in the college entrance examination from each school.

Despite winning first place, He Xie felt no excitement whatsoever.

After all, he had already reached the level of a mutated expert, so winning first place in a small practical assessment was a piece of cake and something that was expected.

Before long, everyone was teleported back to the foot of the Beast Mountain.

Upon seeing the candidates return in triumph, the admissions officers from various schools, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, rushed in and began vying for students.

Among them, He Xie became a highly sought-after candidate in the eyes of the admissions officers of the three universities.

Various generous offers were showered upon him.

He Xie glanced at them and found that the conditions of the three families were not much different.

It's nothing more than an independent apartment, a certain amount of scholarship money each year, and so on.

In addition, some people from the Night Watch organization approached He Xie, suggesting that he become a management trainee and be trained as a leader within the Night Watch.

Unfortunately, He Xie wasn't interested in this.

What he wanted was to finish his university studies as soon as possible and then enter the battlefield of all races to develop his skills.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tao, the director of the Education Department of Shanhai City, secretly approached him and offered him many benefits for staying in the city to study.

He Xie had always been interested in the Mountain and Sea Evolution University.

Now that Zhang Tao has said this, I applied to the Mountain and Sea Evolution University without even thinking.

No need to fill out college applications or choose a major; just transfer your student file directly to Shan Hai Evolution University.

Because top-scoring students are assigned to all-around classes after enrollment, they have to learn knowledge from all majors, so there is no question of choosing a major.

Most of the people around He Xie who had good grades also applied to the Mountain and Sea Evolution University.

Since they are local students, they are eligible for preferential admission policies when applying to local universities.

The admission requirements will be lowered considerably.

Lin Chuchu's overall grades were average, and she couldn't apply for a very good major, so she chose to follow in her cousin Lin Xiaoxiao's footsteps and applied for pharmacology.

An Ruoli's combined scores across the three assessments placed her among the top five in the city, earning her a place in the all-around class, just like He Xie.

Zhang Kaizi has excellent overall academic performance and has enrolled in the Qi and Blood Academy.

Chen Yuntong was rather unsuccessful and could only apply for the lowest-requirement major, plant cultivation.

Wen Xiuwen's grades were also average, and after careful consideration, she enrolled in the animal training major.

After the college application period ends.

Led by their respective school teachers, the students boarded buses and left the foot of Wanshou Mountain one after another.

He Xie did not take the bus, but instead rode in Zhang Tao's private car.

Also traveling with them were An Ruoli, who was ranked second in the imperial examination, and Chen Yiyu, who was ranked third.

Zhang Tao said he was inviting the three of them to dinner so they could have a good chat.

However, He Xie wasn't interested at all and made up an excuse to slip away.

Right now, all he wants to do is hurry home and squander the tens of millions of contrast points in the system before using his bloodline power to find that fox spirit.

......

On a towering tree in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

It's the same safety officer.

She's still the same woman.

Woman: "The mission failed, and Elder Tree is very angry."

Safety officer: "So, what are my qualifications for joining...?"

Woman: "It's gone."

The safety officer was extremely disappointed.

Woman: "However, you still have a chance to make amends."

Upon hearing this, the safety officer's eyes lit up, but inwardly he was cursing, "I'm trying to make up for my mistakes? How can you blame me for this mission failure?"

Woman: "Old Tree said that it will set its sights on the top three students in this year's college entrance examination, and there will be a lot of things that will require your cooperation."

Safety officer: "I understand."
