Although Xiao Tang's words sounded somewhat harsh, everyone had to admit that he was telling the truth.
In addition, students signed a life-or-death liability waiver before entering the Fire Forest Secret Realm for the exam.
Even if someone does lose their life in the secret realm, the school only needs to bear a small part of the responsibility for inadequate protection; the majority of the responsibility will fall on the students themselves.
Therefore, it is quite remarkable that Xiao Tang was able to speak so objectively and calmly, despite the possibility of being disliked by all the students.
After all, reality is always much crueler than words.
...
Not long after.
The teachers in charge of each class were ready and began to organize the students to step forward in an orderly manner to submit their spoils and convert them into points.
The vast majority of students just wander around the outskirts of the Fire Forest Secret Realm. After all, only a very small number of students are capable of competing for the top fifty in their grade. Most people are just there to broaden their horizons in the secret realm and collect herbs and ores on the outskirts. Even if they are unlucky enough to encounter monsters, they are all the lowest-level monsters that have not even reached the Xuanzhen level.
However, since Class 1 and Class 2 are the only two experimental classes, if these fifty students want to stay in the class, they must go deep into the Fire Forest Secret Realm to hunt monsters. The points they can exchange for herbs and ores are simply not enough to support their ranking.
So the students in Class 1 and Class 2 looked extremely disheveled, some even as dirty as beggars on the street.
Only Lu Yuan, who was standing at the back of the line, looked clean and refreshed, with not even any dirt or stains on his backpack.
Lu Yuan stood there, listening to the constant chatter around him, somewhat speechless.
What a miscalculation!
It was just a secret realm exam, and he never expected these students to make him look so pathetic!
If he had known, he should have covered himself in mud when he left the endless sea of fire!
Even if it's a bit filthy, it's still better than being talked about like a gorilla in a zoo!
Fortunately, the points were tallied quickly, and it wasn't long before it was Lu Yuan's turn at the back of the team.
The teacher in charge of the class was a little surprised to see Lu Yuan's clean and refreshing appearance, but she quickly came to her senses and looked down at the student roster in her hand.
"Name?"
"Lu Yuan."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the teacher in charge found his name on the roster.
After putting a checkmark on it, he looked up at Lu Yuan again.
"Bring out all the spoils you've acquired."
Lu Yuan nodded, then placed the backpack behind him on the table in front of him, making a dull thud.
Many people around were drawn to the sound.
"Looks like you've learned a lot!"
The teacher in charge chuckled, then opened the backpack and put the spoils inside one by one into the instrument for monitoring.
But as he took out the items one by one, the expressions of the people around him grew increasingly shocked.
"They're all the ears of demonic beasts?!"
"It can't be real! How could this be?!"
All the students gathered around and whispered among themselves, and even the teachers nearby couldn't help but look surprised.
Since the corpses of monsters are inconvenient to move, the rule is that after killing a monster, its right ear or a specific part is cut off and treated as spoils of war.
Before his eyes, there were already twenty monster ears that Lu Yuan had taken out of his backpack!
This means that Lu Yuan killed at least twenty demonic beasts!
Not to mention the students, even the teachers who had been teaching for many years could hardly believe their eyes!
"I remember that the highest level of new Beast Tamer this year is only Xuanzhen Rank 9, right?"
"That's right! It's that girl named Luo Yueyi from Class Two. She only had five Xuanzhen-level monsters as her loot just now."
"Then where did this male student come from?"
Just then.
The teacher who had led Lu Yuan out of the Fire Forest Secret Realm suddenly walked towards Xiao Tang, who was not far away, and whispered something in his ear. However, the two of them kept glancing in Lu Yuan's direction.
Seeing Xiao Tang's increasingly grave expression, Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
Could this guy be doubting the authenticity of his loot because of the piles of monster corpses in the shimmering white forest?
Rune requires that his exam ranking must consistently be in the top three!
It would be a joke if his exam results were canceled out!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanchao, still in a daze, earnestly explained to the teacher in charge: "I personally hunted these monsters and cut off their ears myself, so I can absolutely guarantee the authenticity of the source of the spoils."
"Huh?...Oh."
The teacher in charge looked up at Lu Yuan, responded somewhat numbly, and then subconsciously looked at Xiao Tang not far away.
At this moment, the male teacher had finished describing everything that had happened in the secret realm, and just as Lu Yuan had thought, he reasonably doubted the authenticity of Lu Yuan's killing of the monster.
Lu Yuan also turned to look at Xiao Tang, his brows furrowed.
If Xiao Tang, like everyone else, believes that his spoils were obtained by scavenging, then he will find a monster to kill on the spot to prove the truth of the matter!
To his surprise, Xiao Tang suddenly laughed after meeting his gaze.
"Don't worry, these spoils were all obtained by this student through hunting monsters. As the teachers who calculate the points, didn't you see that the detector clearly states that the spiritual energy remaining on these spoils all comes from the same person?"
After hearing Xiao Tang's words, everyone immediately came to their senses and turned to look at the testing device in front of Lu Yuan.
The data displayed above stunned everyone present!
