"This power is truly exaggerated."
Qin Sheng saw Luo Hongxia's power through Yu Rui's gaze, but a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Those at the ninth rank or above are Grandmasters, and those who become Grandmasters can be granted the title of King.
The title of "King of the Military Tigers" was Luo Hongxia's title!
"Tsk tsk, I'm doomed if I get caught."
...
Luo Hongxia controlled the situation very well. Apart from causing the candidates to panic at the beginning, no one was blown off the ground by the strong wind afterward.
Half an hour later, a high wall came into view.
But this is high in the air!
How can there be a wall!
Shangwu's gaze fell on the gray wall, which was the city wall surrounding the entire Kaitian City!
Beyond this lies a world overrun by strange beasts.
wilderness!
That's true.
Shang Wu swept his gaze across the densely packed crowd in the square. With hundreds of thousands of examinees about to engage in a chaotic battle, a sufficiently large space was essential.
The areas near the inner city were used for urban development, so there wasn't enough space for such a large area.
Only the area near the city walls remained under martial law, with the city guard's base located nearby. This provided ample space for hundreds of thousands of students to engage in a chaotic battle.
Boom!
As Luo Hongxia left the square, what appeared before everyone was an abandoned city.
"A hundred years ago, this place had another name: Hangzhou."
Luo Hongxia said heavily, "But because of the invasion of alien beasts, this city had already fallen back then. It wasn't until our human venerables took action to clean up the area and chose the location of Kaitian City that this city returned to human hands."
The test takers couldn't help but take it seriously, as if they wanted to glimpse the past from a hundred years ago through this city.
Qin Sheng saw this scene through Yu Rui's gaze, his eyes narrowed, lost in thought.
"This entire city will be your testing location. Now, everyone, pick up your backpacks and enter this city."
Luo Hongxia explained the detailed rules.
"You have the day to explore and hide in this city. When the signal sounds tomorrow morning, it will signify the start of the assessment."
"There is a wristband in the backpack that monitors your physical condition and also represents your score."
"If a fatal attack occurs, the bracelet will release a barrier, which means the wearer is eliminated, while the other person scores a point."
"The competition lasts for 24 hours, and the top 100 scorers advance to the third round."
How many people are selected to make it into the top 100?
The candidates looked at each other in disbelief; the level of competition seemed a bit excessive.
But when I think of the dragon beast's remains, that's a beast that has only been killed twice since the invasion of alien beasts!
Suddenly, the candidates' eyes were filled with tension; they were all going to be competitors!
The 24-hour assessment period didn't allow them to build up a large force, but there were definitely no shortage of small groups.
Luo Hongxia continued.
"Those who are eliminated only need to stay where they are and wait for the city guards to escort them out. At the same time, remember one thing, and remember it to the death!"
His tone turned cold and he said sternly, "You can't leave the border, or the guns won't care whether you're students or not!"
The candidates were shocked and made a mental note of it.
Even if you are eliminated, you cannot step out of the boundary!
"Now leave the square in an orderly manner and collect your backpacks."
Luo Hongxia left behind a final sentence before disappearing from sight.
His departure made the candidates relax a bit, and they started chatting and forming their own small groups.
"Brother Jie!" Wang Xiaopang shouted excitedly.
"Don't worry, your top 100 spot is all yours, your brother Jie will take care of it!"
Ye Bufan looked at Shang Wu beside him and suggested, "Shall we go together?"
After thinking for a moment, Shangwu nodded: "Okay."
He then turned his gaze to Yu Rui and extended an invitation: "Yu Rui, would you like to come with us?"
"I have no objection, but..."
Yu Rui slowly turned her head, causing some people nearby to immediately turn away, not daring to meet her gaze.
“Our group will probably attract a lot of hostility,” Yu Rui said slowly.
"It's alright, classmate."
Qi Jie immediately put on a show: "If they want to deal with you, they'll have to be able to beat me first."
"Don't say anything."
Wang Xiaopang noticed Yu Rui's displeased gaze and immediately covered Qi Jie's mouth. If he were to speak again, they would lose a powerful teammate.
"It's nothing." Ye Bufan smiled slightly. "Yu Rui wouldn't care about such things, would she?"
"That's true."
The group of five reached a verbal agreement to eliminate others in this assessment and not to interfere with each other.
They will have plenty of opportunities to compete in the third round.
However, some second-tier candidates chose to go it alone, not feeling that other candidates joining forces would pose a threat to them.
If there were only a few people, that would be fine. But all the hundreds of thousands of candidates knew perfectly well that the only way for them to get the dragon beast remains was to eliminate these prodigies here so that they could have a chance to enter the top 100 and compete with others.
In this assessment, those who are too exceptionally talented have become the target of everyone's criticism!
"Um, Yu Rui?"
As the group went to collect their backpacks, Qi Jie couldn't help but lean close to Yu Rui and cautiously ask, "Can I get your contact information?"
“No,” Yu Rui replied coldly.
Qi Jie was taken aback, scratched his head awkwardly, and returned to Wang Xiaopang's side, letting out a long sigh.
"It's okay, Brother Jie," Wang Xiaopang comforted him. "Keep going."
"Are you saying it's just my imagination?" Qi Jie paused for a moment. "Why do I feel like Yu Rui seems to dislike me?"
"You can be more confident and remove the 'seems like' part," Ye Bufan silently added.
