The once bustling campus was now eerily silent, with all the energetic students frozen in place, heads bowed, motionless, like puppets.
The only thing on my body that was constantly swiping was my fingers holding the phone.
The first round of the martial arts exam tests the candidate's strength, speed, and reaction time.
Each of the three categories is worth 100 points, and reaching the level of a second-tier martial artist is the highest score.
Now it's time to release the base scores, and every candidate is nervously refreshing the screen, waiting for the moment the scores will be released.
But for Yu Rui and the others, there was no suspense.
"Sir, no one has noticed anything unusual about me."
After the first round of testing, Yu Rui still hadn't been found to be anything.
Qin Sheng nodded. It seemed that the [human] characteristic was very strong, no wonder it could exist independently.
"The second round of the martial arts exam is a free-for-all, and whether or not the registration is also a choice made by the candidates themselves."
He recalled the rules and then gave the instructions.
"In the second round, you can make some contact with Ye Bufan and his group, and if possible, team up with them."
"OK."
But Yu Rui still had doubts: "Sir, didn't you want to kill Ye Bufan before? Did I join them to be an inside man?"
"almost."
Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "I need you to monitor Ye Bufan's cultivation level in real time to prevent any unexpected events from occurring later."
He had previously joked that Ye Bufan was the protagonist, but with each absurd situation, he began to suspect that Ye Bufan possessed some kind of mystical power.
After he has dealt with his own situation, we will study it carefully.
With a ding, Yu Rui took out her phone and looked at it.
"Sir, full marks."
"If the scores are out, then confirm your participation in the second round of assessment."
"yes."
Despite the risk warning, Yu Rui clicked the "OK" button without hesitation.
The same goes for Ye Bufan and his group; they didn't hesitate for a moment, after all, their goal was to be number one!
The next morning, seeing the information on their phones, a large number of candidates arrived at the venue for the second round of assessments.
Nearly 100,000 test takers gathered in the largest square in the seventh district, but it still didn't feel crowded.
"Hey, it's you." Qi Jie reached out to greet Shang Wu, which surprised the latter.
How could I run into the three of them in such a big place?
"Want to come along?" Wang Xiaopang invited.
"Alright." Shang Wu nodded, walked over to the three of them, and said to Ye Bufan, "Thank you for reminding me last time."
"It's nothing, I didn't do anything." Ye Bufan said politely, then paused and pointed to the figure not far away.
"Yu Rui happens to be here too, let's go over there."
Shang Wu nodded. He also wanted to thank Yu Rui in person, which was also Xu Ruiling's idea.
"Little Fatty, look at my hairstyle! Is it greasy? Should I..."
Wang Xiaopang was speechless and complained, "Brother Jie, can't you have some ambition?"
As they walked, Ye Bufan suddenly realized that the girl from last time wasn't there, and asked in confusion, "Where's your classmate?"
“She was injured, so I told her to rest.”
"I see."
When she arrived next to Yu Rui, she also noticed the person who had come beside her.
"Hello, my name is Shang Wu. Thank you for saving my classmate last time," Shang Wu said gratefully.
Yu Rui smiled and nodded: "It's okay, we're all classmates."
She asked the same question as Ye Bufan: "Didn't your classmates come?"
"No, but she specifically asked me to thank her on her behalf," Shangwu said.
"Hello, classmate." Qi Jie stammered a little.
Yu Rui merely glanced at him indifferently before turning her head to look at the sky.
"The weather is really nice today, hahaha." Qi Jie tried to find a topic to talk about.
"No." Ye Bufan's gaze sharpened as he noticed the figure that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Commander Luo is here."
As if to confirm his words, a figure appeared in the air and then plummeted downwards.
Boom!
A loud bang came from the high platform erected in the center of the square, followed by a deep voice that resounded throughout the entire area.
"Quiet!"
The voice resounded in everyone's minds, and the invisible authority made them involuntarily shut their mouths, and the square instantly fell silent.
Luo Hongxia scanned the crowd and slowly began to speak.
"There are death spots in the second round of assessment. Now I'm giving you one more chance. Raise your hand and leave."
The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it sent a chill down the spines of the test-takers.
After all, the prompts on the phone are not as impactful as being given in person, but at this moment, no one raised their hand; everyone was ready.
"very good."
Luo Hongxia calmly said, "Whether you're after combat points or the remains of the dragon beast, anyone who quits can be considered a martial artist."
"Now, everyone get ready, we're heading to the assessment site."
Are you ready to head to the assessment venue?
The candidates looked around, thinking that since it was a large-scale free-for-all, there should be a space big enough for everyone.
It's obviously not feasible here, but there's no sign of any means of transportation around. So how are they supposed to get to the assessment location?
Ye Bufan looked around in confusion, not understanding what it meant to be prepared.
Shangwu's gaze sharpened, his body tense as if he had thought of something.
Looking at the figure on the high platform, Yu Rui couldn't quite figure out what Luo Hongxia meant.
He can't possibly lead nearly 200,000 students to the assessment site all by himself, can he?
But what happened next made Yu Rui realize that top experts are simply unpredictable!
Luo Hongxia's lips curled up as he floated into the air, until he saw the square below looking like a bowl.
As he slowly clenched his open hand, the ground began to shake violently, and dense cracks began to appear along the edge of the square.
"What's going on??"
"Holy crap! Are you crazy?!"
"Stand still!"
Ye Bufan hurriedly shouted to the people beside him, and almost at the same time, the cracks around the square merged!
Rumble!
With a tremendous roar, the square, large enough to hold 200,000 people, was slowly pulled out, as if held up by an invisible hand.
"Stand firm."
Luo Hongxia's voice rang out in the square, and a jolt of pressure hit everyone, causing many to collapse instantly.
The surrounding scenery also rushed past at this moment, as if I were riding in a huge convertible.
"The test has already begun. If you're left behind, just obediently leave the field."
The candidate standing on the edge changed his expression and immediately steadied himself, unwilling to be eliminated again.
Shang Wu stood there and let out a long sigh: "This is really reckless."
But looking at the receding scenery around them, Luo Hongxia had already blocked some of the strong winds.
It creates a sense of urgency among test takers without directly disqualifying them; it strikes the perfect balance.
Yu Rui took a deep breath. The high-speed flight didn't seem to affect her, but her eyes were still filled with seriousness.
This is the same person who can lift a square out of thin air and easily carry hundreds of thousands of people through the sky at high speed, and he is investigating the Creation Cult!
If he were discovered, he alone would probably be enough to wipe out all the believers!
