Education Department of Shanhaiguan City.
The examination hall.
The huge hall was packed with local education officials, teachers who were evaluating practical assessments, and admissions officers from various universities.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on the surveillance footage on the surrounding walls.
They were carefully observing the candidates' performance.
Holy crap!
Suddenly, one of the teachers giving the evaluation exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the sound, the people around him were immediately drawn to the display screen he was in charge of.
Then the next second—
Holy crap!
"Holy crap, what's going on?!"
"Holy crap, this... how is this possible?!"
"......"
These people were all stunned when they saw the surveillance footage from the teacher in charge of the evaluation.
His face was filled with disbelief.
What they had just witnessed was He Xie unleashing a sword aura that instantly annihilated a large number of man-eating flowers.
Soon, some leaders in the hall were alerted.
They came over to ask what was wrong.
The teacher giving the evaluation was too lazy to answer, so he simply replayed what he had just seen on the screen.
Moreover, it is played back directly on the central screen.
Then the next second—
Holy crap!
"Awesome!"
"unbelievable!"
This time, everyone in the hall was shocked.
The admissions officers looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.
Who is this examinee in the surveillance footage?
How come I've never heard of this before?
These admissions officers basically all knew that in this year's college entrance examination for science and technology, there was a candidate who scored full marks in the written test, and they also knew that his name was He Xie.
But what they didn't know was which student He Xie was, or what he looked like.
Because He Xie was previously too unknown.
Unlike those popular top scorers who frequently win awards in various competitions and whose stories circulate among teachers and students in various schools every day, he is not a top scorer.
He suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Apart from a few close friends and family members, no one knows anything about his current situation.
Previously, some admissions officers, after learning of his written test scores, went around trying to find out about his student file.
But in the end, they gained nothing.
Because his current student file has been classified as top secret by Zhang Tao.
Apart from a few leaders in the provincial education department, no one else has the authority to access this information.
......
Director's office.
Two middle-aged men sat facing each other, both looking at the surveillance footage beside them.
Then, both of them looked shocked.
One person's condition was more severe, while the other's condition was less severe.
The person whose condition was less severe was Zhang Tao, the director of the Education Department of Shanhai City.
The person whose condition was more serious was a leader in the Education Department of Nanjiang Province, who was also Zhang Tao's immediate superior.
"This...this is a high school student?"
A leader from the Education Department of Nanjiang Province asked this question with an incredulous look on his face.
Zhang Tao couldn't answer.
Because he was also completely bewildered at this moment.
He knew He Xie was awesome, but he didn't expect him to be this awesome.
The intensity of his outward release of qi and blood looks almost stronger than that of the director of the Education Department.
This is outrageous!
"Zhang Tao, you absolutely must keep this student in Shanhai City. If Peking University or Magic University snatch him up, you will be held responsible!"
The leader from the Provincial Department of Education looked at Zhang Tao with a serious expression and said...
Zhang Tao nodded quickly, patting his chest and saying, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Leader: "Alright, tell me about this student's personal file. I want to understand how he developed into such a strong individual."
Zhang Tao: "Well... his personal file is unremarkable. His family has no power or influence, and he himself is not a transplant recipient. He just suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
lead:"?"
Did he just pop out of nowhere? Are you telling me a story from Journey to the West? Sun Wukong bursting out of a stone?
......
In a thicket of bushes on Mount Wanshou.
Since leaving the team and becoming a lone wolf, He Xie has been wandering alone in the bushes.
At this moment, he was like a locust, leaving nothing but desolation wherever he went.
Of course, this grass refers to the ancient alien race.
"In such a large thicket, there are only 69 demonic plants and 91 ancient alien races, and they are all of ordinary level?"
He Xie counted his gains in the system's inventory and felt quite disappointed.
I've been at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for half a day, and I haven't encountered a single prehistoric alien race of advanced level or above.
It has to be said that the results were far from satisfactory, falling short of his expectations.
"perhaps......"
"Is it because I haven't entered the core area yet?"
He Xie suddenly thought of this and felt it was very likely.
Next, he opened the real-time ranking of points in the contact list to see how the other candidates were doing.
......
0001: An Ruoli
School: Shanhai Middle School
Points: 688
......
0002: Sun Xiaochuan
School: Shanhai No.1 Middle School
Points: 443
......
0003: Chen Yiyu
School: Shanhai No.2 Middle School
Points: 369
......
0004: Lin Qiye
School: Shanhai No.1 Middle School
Points: 285
......
0005: Li Tianhao
School: Shanhai No.3 Middle School
Points: 255
......
He Xie glanced at the rankings briefly.
My heart was completely unmoved.
He had seen all of these top students on the list that Shen Shou had given him.
None of them were unexpected dark horses.
The only one that could be considered unexpected was An Ruoli, who was ranked number one.
A girl.
A girl whose biological level is only advanced level two.
At this moment, however, he was able to overpower a boy who was ranked second on the leaderboard and whose biological level was as high as the third rank of advanced.
This has a bit of a "woman from another dimension" feel to it.
Rebirth?
Time travel?
Or perhaps, a powerful background?
He Xie became somewhat interested in An Ruoli.
Thinking that if he had the chance in the future, he would have to find out more about her.
Um?
Suddenly, He Xie noticed a piece of data in the lower right corner of the leaderboard.
【3908/4396】
4396?
This appears to be the number of participants in the practical assessment.
In other words, in just half a day, more than 400 candidates in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were eliminated, leaving only 3,908.
Wow, that's quite a high attrition rate.
That's cruel.
After turning off the real-time points leaderboard, He Xie set off again to search for the ancient alien races.
The jungle has been cleared.
This time, he set his sights on a river inside.
The river is not far away.
It only takes a minute or two of sprinting to get there.
After arriving at the riverbank shortly, He Xie sensed the creatures in the water.
There is no very concentrated high-energy body.
There were only some ordinary fish and shrimp.
He Xie did not find it offensive.
On a whim, he took an empty bottle from his system inventory and filled it with some water as a reserve.
Then he took out the Soul-Slaying Blade, infused it with his spiritual power to activate the Soul-Devouring Mode, and slashed at the riverbed several times.
Soon, several plump and tender fish floated to the surface from the bottom of the river.
Next, we lit a fire to grill the fish, which simply solved the problem of food intake.
After finishing the fish, He Xie went to the riverbank and stared at the river for a while.
He thought, if vaporization can allow one to fly, then liquefaction should also allow one to escape through water, right?
With that in mind, He Xie decided to give it a try.
He immediately leaped into the river with a splash, instantly transforming his physical body into a liquid state, completely merging with the surrounding water.
Cool, silky, heavy.
This is how He Xie felt after merging into the river.
Although he didn't need to breathe in the liquid state, he felt as if he were being tightly wrapped by something soft, giving him a strange sense of suffocation.
It's really painful.
Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.
It disappeared very quickly.
Instead, it feels like coming home, very free and comfortable.
After gradually becoming familiar with the water.
He Xie continuously expended his mental energy, manipulating his liquid self to move around in the water.
After a short while, he was delighted to find himself quite agile in the water.
It moves as fast as lightning.
It's seven or eight times faster than I can run on land.
He Xie was shocked by this, never expecting that he and water would be so compatible.
"Help! Help... Waaah!"
"ah.....!"
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle!"
Suddenly, a drowning sound came from ahead.
The voice sounds familiar, like the female sea queen Chen Yuntong?
Thinking it over, He Xie immediately fled.
